Customer Reviews

Incredible, kind and helpful service! Cute interior with lots of entertainment for kids. But most importantly: THE BEST CROISSANTS!!! The turkey, egg and cheese croissant is THE best breakfast sandwich I?ve ever had. The cronut was magical. And the caramel iced latte was a favorite! Will definitely return, very worth the drive!

Grove Do-Nutz was super delicious with so many (felt like too many) options for food! It had been highly recommended to me and my husband by his sister so we finally gave it a try. We both got bacon breakfast tacos, then my husband got the breakfast sandwich with kronut for the ?bread? and sausage while I got just the kronut. Everything was delicious! Staff were helpful and friendly. While there weren?t many places for seating, they had just enough for the guests who visited while we were there. Definitely

Only get the come here 2-3 times a year but my service is always amazing. The atmosphere of the establishment is very old time feels, with the chalk menu, and metal seating. The cashier was very nice and guided us Thur the menu very well. The donuts are big, and very creative. The strawberry cheesecake donut is very tasty along with the red velvet. I will for sure becoming back!

We just discovered this shop, and I?m so glad! We?ve had various flavors of their donuts and every single one has been so yummy. Seriously, these are the BEST donuts we?ve ever had. The texture is perfect, they aren?t greasy, and you can tell they?re using great ingredients. We got some of the letter donuts for my son?s birthday, and it made his day. Thank you!

I've been wanting to come here for years - just never did because it's a 35 min drive from me but I finally came the other day and wish I made the drive sooner. Best donuts I've ever had. Best service hands down. Will definitely be coming back !

The BEST DONUTS SHOP!!! The wait is really long but it?s so worth it! Just wish we could live closer, because the amount of time I daydream about their food is so unhealthy ????

This place doesn?t disappoint after all these years they?ve been open. Love all the options on their menu and it?s unique compared to all the other donut shops around town. Keep it up y?all :)

Delicious and wildly creative gourmet donuts, equally delicious sandwiches, and fast friendly service. What?s not to love? They ran out of baguettes for my wife and my banh mi orders and offered croissants as an alternative. Uhh, yes, please? Messy, but that?s what forks are for. Banana split and coffee donut were fire. And I don?t usually love donuts.

UPDATE: the quality has changed . SMH last time my beignets were RAW inside this time it?s just not with it . I?m done with this place , cool unique flavors, but quality decreased significantly Omg I love this place . They have the best croissants ever ? the donuts are a bit tough for my taste, but the flavors are crazy and they make them delicious. But the croissants are so fluffy, buttery, and the flakiness. It?s insane I sadly ate too many today ???? follow me dessitravels ig/tiktok

These are some beautiful donuts! I loved that they are assembled to order. Everyone in my house loved them and we tried different flavors. The cr?me br?l?e was my favorite along with the monte cristo. Can?t wait to go back! I am already telling everyone about them.

I just visited for the first time with my sister's and we were brown away by everything we ate. From the kronuts, to the kimchi fries and beignets everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. We cannot wait to go back and try more of the menu. 10/10 I cannot recommend this local spot enough! ????

I just ordered through DoorDash my first order. I had the turkey egg and cheese Croissant , two glazed donuts, and a sausage kolache. Wow there is so much flavor in each item. Each item was fresh and if it's this good via a delivery service, I can only imagine eating at the restaurant is even better. Glad I was able to try this place, will visit next time and try another item on the menu. This is a must try. Glad my business went to local. Thank you for my breakfast. So yummy. ??

We literally drove from Louisiana to visit this spot and it did not disappoint. We had the Vietnamese coffee and caramel iced coffee. Both were delicious and the perfect accompaniment to the items we tried. We got the Elvis Kronut, Dulce De Leche Kronut, lemon glazed donut holes, Bavarian filled donut holes and a Turkey croissant bfast sandwich. Let me tell you? the donuts are so light and they melted in my mouth. The Kronutz were super airy, light, had the perfect amount of crunch and absolutely delicious.

We walked in late on a Sunday when most of the items had been sold, and we were greeted with kindness. We really were looking for lunch items anyways and they did not disappoint. We tried their signature sandwich, "The Grove" sandwich and a couple donuts to share. We also tried the Vietnamese iced coffee. Everything was delicious, but our sandwich was amazing!! It instantly had me wondering how I could make it at home. My family highly recommends!

While the donuts are great they can take forever. Then they didn't even do the made to order don't correctly. It was almost 11 dollars for 4 donuts and two of the 3 made to order were wrong. We also waited close to 30 minutes for literally iced donuts.

Just moved to the area and found this randomly on google. I bring my kids to donut shops all the time and I would say they make the best donuts I?ve ever had. The maple is amazing, and the chocolate coconut as well. I met the owner briefly - and the customer service is fantastic. They also offered a military discount. We will definitely be back! They also have fun stuff for kids inside.

We stumbled upon this cafe after having dinner at the nearby Italian restaurant. The owner greeted us warmly and explained the infinite possibilities of donuts he could offer. Despite it being 30 mins before closing time, the owner brought out warm, fresh donuts. The donuts were absolutely delicious. This cafe takes such a fun and unique approach to donuts. I would highly recommend this cafe.

Not our first time here but our first time back since they got new owners. The display case was empty so we thought they ran out. But then we met Steve who was awesome and told us that he makes everything fresh now, as the new owner. Definitely impressed, and our food was delicious! Highly recommend Grove, and we will keep coming!

Great donut shop with a sitting area that my toddler loves. All kinds of donuts, kolaches and breakfast sandwiches. Just a few donut examples are fruity pebbles, Cinnamon toast crunch, and even a Minion donut. I like the plain glazed the best, and the service is always fast and friendly!

Specialty donuts. Had it a couple times and it?s neat treat. The quality of the donut itself isn?t quite what others have but it?s fine. If you are looking for a top quality glazed donut you won?t find it here. Apple fritter is a pass for me. Maybe it?s got too much apple in it? Had some kolaches and for $3.5-$4 it?s just ho hum. I guess that?s just the way things are. Kolaches years ago in the area had much better sausages kolachss but as prices rise and quality/size goes down it?s not a real good item

The most amazing dounut place there is. Why? You know how you order the picture it actually looks exactly like what you ordered only better. Owner is super nice and they open a little later then most dounut places. Definitely coming back

A small location with a large amount of flavor and personality. Service was impeccable and served with a smile. Food was delivered fast, and with a smile. Lots of items to choose from, but no meal is complete without a side (or main dish) of cronuts. Definitely worth the visit and we shall be back. The cronuts don't last long so get there early before they run out.

Underrated, understated. These donuts (in all forms) are the best I?ve ever had!!! So much better than those voodoo guys who are just in it for the social media posts. This place is such a treat!!! Awesome sandwiches too, do you can have a legit 2-3 course meal here with a sandwich, kolache, and all the donuts. Got the veggie bahn mi sans kimchi, added jalape?os and fried egg and it is spicy good! Maple crunch donut holes were like eating a homemade honey bun breakfast. Cookie butter yeast donut was goo

Although only the spam/Hawaiian banh mi was the only thing I got a picture of, everything was delicious! The baguette had the perfect consistency of crunchy exterior and soft interior. We also had the creme br?l?e and maple bacon donuts, which were insanely good. My husband had the breakfast donut sandwich with bacon as well. We?ll be back for sure!

They have the Best quality donuts and kolaches. But they take a donut shop to the next level with customizable donuts unique flavors a lot of other different breakfast choices.

Fast & friendly and the variety of donuts! Gourmet to it's finest! Food is really good for it being sandwiches. But go check them out. Treat yourself and put a smile on your face!

New to this area and found this amazing donut shop close to us. Now we are almost everyday customer! Great donuts and deli and fantastic owner.

I came to this place because I heard they have fried, unglazed, unsugared donuts for sale (which are impossible to find). I was not disappointed. They also have real boudin in their boudin kolaches, not just bread stuffed with meat and rice like some other places around here!

I pre-ordered happy birthday donuts. They were to be pink and purple with sprinkles and decorations. I called early to make sure that they were ready and the person sounded flustered like they forgot. I went to pick them up and it was a complete mess. The icing looked like it had just been put on, there were no decorations, and it was melting all over. There were sprinkles in the box yet not on the donuts, but I had already prepaid. I had to decorate them myself. Such a disappointment

The service was top tier, the food was a 10/10. The Atmosphere was so welcoming. The glaze donuts and the sausage & cheese kolache were so delicious. I highly recommend visiting here.

Probably not the healthiest food in town but pretty delicious. Friendly and fast service, they make ALL donuts and toppings from scratch, they even have a pizza donut! That I had to try as well as dulce de leche, banana cream and smores. Must be eaten soon or they'll get soggy due to the amount of toppings. Parking on site.

First time at the Grove, and we loved it! Al the things we ordered were delicious.. Highly recommend.

What a great local shop! By far the most fresh and craftiest DONUTS i?ve ever came across. I ordered a couple dozen gourmet donuts for my nieces birthday bash and our friends and family were blown away! BUT it doesn?t stop there.. they have much more to choose from. Pulling apart their Kronut was mouthwatering. The creativity is immaculate and the staff is very kind and accommodating. I love supporting local businesses and I can?t wait for my next order! Good job @thegrovedonutz !

Different varieties of donuts! Every time we go we choose a new donut to try. Haven?t had one we don?t like.

Don't go there before 1030 am.... The donuts taste better! Just kidding, they are so good that sometimes they run out of my favorite donut and I don't like to share! Best donuts and kolache ever

The beignets were delicious and made to order. Nice spot to bring the kids for donuts. Customer service was very welcoming.

I love donuts so I wanted to try this place. They have unique combinations and flavors for donuts. They look good and tasted good too. They also serve other savory food besides the donuts. The store itself is quite small though, but they do have a donut truck that you can track down if you do not want to visit the store. The price though is a bit high for donuts.

The owner greeted me and my family personally with a smile ! And threw in Free donuts as well. Best Donuts in Town ??

Walked in 8am on a Saturday. Not a soul in sight. Completely empty display. Usually you can smell any donut shop a couple blocks away, but not even the inside smelled like donuts. Maybe they started late? I tried to get someone's attention in the back by asking if they're open. Silence. Stuck around for a couple minutes and left.

It's been a while since I've been here, but it used to be a regular visit. Even under new ownership the food was fantastic. I got my favorite, creme brulee cronut, and I couldn't have been happier. Thanks for keeping this great place open and still tasty.

Their donuts are amazing! So many options to choose from. From croissant donuts to kolache, banh m?, kimchi fries. A bit pricey, but worth to try. Originally Vietnamese owned but got taken over by Jason, who gave great service! Also, love the fact that they kept the Vietnamese options up.

Really just a hands down amazing place to visit! My husband and I stopped in for breakfast this morning and got to meet the owner and we?re just so excited and grateful about how amazing his experience has been through the years and getting to just know about a member of our community is so special. We love coming here and have enjoyed it over the last 10 years. If you?re thinking about visiting just know he will provide such a wonderful experience and you can?t go wrong with whatever you get from here. My

The Grove donuts is the best donut shop ever!!! the they have super good hours. they have amazing breakfast sandwiches gourmet donuts and drinks. The service was amazing from the new owner.

This place has the best Creme Brul? Donut you will ever eat. Everything is delicious and the sausage donut breakfast sandwich is also to die for. You gotta visit this place! Its worth it and not costly at all.

Huge variety of gourmet options to try. I do fully intend to go back and try more flavors.

Got custom donuts for my daughter?s birthday that spelled ? H. B. D Mel?.The owner was very professional and helpful with making sure my order was up to par with my expectations. We had to get them the day before due to my schedule but they still taste fresh the next morning! Will definitely come back!!!

This was a cool donut experience. Donuts were made fresh when you order them. We tried 12 different ones. Every one was delicious. Staff was super nice!! We drove a hour to try them. It was worth it!

Ordered 2 pork banh mi's. I thought it was good and even better with sriracha. Not as good as an original banh mi though. My fiance didn't think it was good and wasnt filling enough. I will definately try this place again but for what they are known for, donuts.

Some great neighborhood donuts with lots of toppings to choose from. The donuts are not these sugar monstrosities that make you feel sick after 2 bites.

Holy guacamole! I'm in love! I had the Monte Cristo Kronut and a kolache. Both were amazing! And so many options for both regular donuts and kronuts. I appreciate how it's made to order too. I've been to places like Hurtz Donuts and you take what they have there but the donuts here they customize after you order and I think that's very nice.

How creative are these guys? Not the cheapest donuts in town? But they will definitely turn heads when you take them into the office..

More than surprised by this"donut" shop. What a hidden gem. The owner is very nice and accommodating. The grove sandwich is to die for. Highly recommend for fresh made donuts and kolaches as well as the lunch menu.

My favorite donut place and has been since they opened! It's a good hour from where I live now and I still don't mind the drive! Best everything!

Best fresh donuts and coffee. I woke up with donuts craving and look arounds and few of my friends who lives in neighborhood suggest me this place. Best of the best. I went and asked for plain donut and I got freshly made donuts as I wanted. I grow up eating fresh plain donuts from childhood. I was missing my home country and they make same one. We will be back. And guy who took my order was soo patience and nice to me. Best service.

My first time coming here, the bacon egg and cheese croissant is so good!!! Great customer service. Can?t wait to come back

The kimchi fries are incredible; my husband and I absolutely love them!

Just moved back the Grove and tried this place for the first time. Very good and unique donuts. My kids loved them even more!

Donuts are great but wish they open lill earlier than 8 may be 7. Perhaps its a good thing so i am not there Monday to Friday

Call ahead and reserve your order in case they sell out. Their croissant donuts are amazing and worth the drive!

This place has some of the best sandwiches and donuts I've ever had. They've got a crazy variety of gourmet donuts and kronuts that literally melt in your mouth. With their deli items, The Grove Sandwich, the banh mis, everything is made to perfection. You can tell the chef cares about attention to detail as little things like the flower shaped cucumber slices, hand torched donuts, perfectly toasted breads and put together sandwiches make the food amazing for any time of the day. This place is a must go if

Had a kimchi sandwich, fries and a glaze ??. Everything was delicious. 10 out of 10

I absolutely love this place! I?ve come in for the lemon glazed donut holes several times but today I brought my honey in with me and we enjoyed the Vietnamese coffee so much! We got the kronut bacon egg and cheese sandwich and he got the Croissant bacon egg and cheese sandwich. Dang those were good! But the show stopper for us ended up being the blueberry cake donut which we got glazed ?? ?? It was fresh and warm and was so delicious we had to order another one to go. Jason was awesome as always, can?

Easily the best Cronut I've ever had. Service was great too, but the food was out of this world.

Great food at a great price too. Slightly more expensive than your average donut shop. But you definitely get your money worth in the quality of their products. Breakfast sandwiches are made to order (not warmed up in a microwave). In addition to your regular flavor donuts. They also have a unique combination of flavors and toppings that you don't see anywhere else.. Their red velvet cake donut is my favorite

Been here a few times and always excellent! They?re known for their donuts which are delicious but the breakfast sandwich and coffee is some of my favorites around.

Items are on menu boards instead of being able to see everything that's possible. I had to wait for the order to be fixed when I received a message saying it was ready. She chose to help new customers who just walked in instead of me. I represent a customer, which allows me to be just as important. When they receive the order, it is supposed to be a priority from when received. This was not experienced.

This place has some awesome donuts! Especially this Maple Bacon!! Donut sandwich is great also! This place is a must visit for any donut lover!

Amazing like always! Went in for my favorite Funky Monkey kronut and added strawberries. Also had a banana cr?me pie donut, an Oreo cheesecake donut, and kolache. If you haven?t been, you?re missing out!!

Been here a few times but I keep forgetting the dude?s name at the register. He?s always been very kind, patient, and attentive. He took the time explaining the fancy donuts to me and my wife. She would?ve gotten all the flavors on that board if I didn?t stop her! The donuts were just the right amount of sweetness, not overpowering the unique flavors of each one. There is usually a wait on a weekend morning, but it was all worth it. The Iced Viet Coffee was pretty darn good too.

It's terrible. So terrible I don't even know how to describe how terrible it is. I coukdnt even chew the bread. How are you ok with sending this out?

These folks take donuts seriously! Fantastic and delicious selections!

It can be a bit of a wait, but it's ALWAYS well worth it! Get the strawberry iced donut, Kimchi fries & Vietnam coffee. You won't regret any of it!

Ordered from here on DoorDash it was so bad. The egg and cheese sandwich hardly had any egg. The donuts were so gross and lazy. These are far from gourmet. The ?Reese?s pieces? was a plain donut with peanut butter and chocolate sauce. The cookie butter was literally peanut butter again on a donut with bananas? This was so so bad. Save your money.

Excellent gourmet doughnuts and food. Fantastic customer service!!!

First time here and everything was delicious! We ordered beignets? perfection, a chocolate glazed donut, and a sausage kolache. The only negative I noticed was the lack of posted prices (which ended up being reasonable anyway)

Love supporting this small business tucked away in Richmond, Texas. Fresh donuts and kolaches at affordable prices. They even have some Asian fusion items for lunch!

Fantastic experience. Great food, great atmosphere, and great service. Kimchi fries and the cinnamon twists are fantastic.

Absolutely amazing and friendly staff that is only outdone by the quality and variety of gourmet donuts and breakfast sandwiches!

By far the best donut/kolache spot I?ve ever been to. The owner Jason, personally greats and takes every order, making sure you are taken care of. The Breakfast Sausage Balls are hideous though, I suggest not asking for them! Just kidding, they are amazing?lol! I just get there too late and he is already sold out! Finally, preordered 4 of them today and he shad them ready for me when I got there = happy wife!! All in all, there hasn?t been one thing we?ve gotten from there that we haven?t enjoyed.

If you are a Pecan Grove resident, THIS should be your doughnut place. They have everything you could want, from dougnuts and kolaches to cronuts and more. Plus they serve Cafe Du Monde coffee. The staff is friendly, cares about quality, and is passionate about the community. Next time you want Shipleys...I urge you to think again and hit this place up instead. I do not think you will be disappointed!!

Great selection. Delicious donuts! Downside: all of ours were missing the middle.

Delicious donuts with unique flavors. The banana cream pie was very yummy??. The breakfast sandwiches were really good also. Customer service was great ??The ladies take their time to explain the type of donuts. I will definitely come back.??They need a bigger seating space.

Donuts, Kronuts and more. A good quick breakfast place. Their menu is extensive, I would recommend looking before coming, as long as you leave with donuts or kronut. They have a chef that prepares everything fresh, which I liked. The owner is very attentive and kind. There is outside and inside seating, as well as a small play area for little children.

Since I work literally right behind them @ Century Automotive and Transmission, it's a short walk to some of the best donuts ever. Their lunch rocks too, really good Pork Bahn Mi, Vietnamese Salads, extremely generous sandwiches, all at good prices. Did I forget to tell you about their service? Always with a smile! Thanks guys, for making my guys happy with hot donuts! Love you !

Best donut shop I've been to around here so far. The Grove recently had its re-grand opening when school started with an upgraded menu. If you like ham I recommend the "Monte Crisco". I just had it and it's WOW. All items are made fresh.

Absolutely fantastic! I'm there almost every weekend buying apple fritters for my parents and cinnamon twist for my teenagers. Also, the sausage crossiant sandwich is delicious! Definitely the best donut shop in the area!

My husband and I took our son for breakfast this morning, feeling adventurous and ready to try a new place. We were thoroughly impressed by their very unique menu! The atmosphere was very relaxed with good music playing and the best part.. it's family friendly. There is a kiddies corner with a HEB market play set and children's books! We ordered the boudin kolaches and they did not disappoint. I also tried a Vietnamese coffee, and was absolutely excited about it.. I'm a cold brew and a shot of espresso kind

Change of ownership/management has done wonders to this place.. folks are friendly and the environment is warm. Coffee is always good, piping hot and fresh.. pairs perfectly well with a donut or cronut. Tried a cronut (original glazed) for the first time and it was pretty good.. crispy, hot and fresh out of the fryer. Something a bit different. They also have green tea and will be adding more tea on their menu. A sweet little escape in a quiet yet cozy part of town.
