Customer Reviews

Hands down the best donut shop in Allen. When we want donuts, this is the only place we go. Unfortunately, the prices have come up a lot lately so we come less often, but I can't really blame them - everything went up over the last few years.

This Donut Shop is one of my favorite to visit! The woman who works there is always there. I'm guessing she is the owner. She's very sweet and always greets you with a smile. The donuts are very good too! I'll definitely keep going back. Update 09/2023: this place is still the absolute best! Their donuts are amazing! Went this morning for the first time in a while and these may have been the best donuts I've ever had! You must go here and try them!!

The BEST donut shop in town! Their kolaches and donuts are made fresh every morning and they're sooooo good. You HAVE to try their jalape?o and croissant kolaches! The owners of this mom & pop shop are extremely friendly and funny. Meeting them is a great way to start your day.

Went at 11am and they still had a large variety of options to choose from! Everything we bought was yummy tasting and it was worth the drive to check it out.

The lady was very sweet and professional. The food was fresh. I just like them took nuke it instead of the warm lol.

The people here are very friendly, and the donuts and kolaches are delicious! I highly recommend this place! ??????

So glad I tried this place on a whim because it was offered on my delivery app. The donuts are amazing.!! Very fresh great taste! I can?t wait to try the breakfast sandwich.

I love this place! I ordered from Door Dash a couple of times and was very pleased with the bacon, egg croissant and cream filled donuts! I was so impressed,i made a visit to the shop when I was out and met the owner. Now, when I come in, she greets me by my name!! Now THATS customer service!!

Fresh & clean. Great description of doughnut Heaven in Allen, TX. Posters on the wall from supporting area high school a decade past !! That's how you say CONSISTENCY. Fresh & clean doughnuts, fresh & clean service, fresh & clean ownership. I don't know these people, I just appreciate their doughnuts. Any early morning, on ventures to the best local milk buy at my neighborhood Braums, I stop at THIS doughnut joint for my kids. To wash their morning away with great doughnuts, & ice cold fresh milk. T

I needed breakfast for my brother and his 6 kids!?? I walked in and ordered a ton on the spot! She was friendly and not phased by my order. The donuts and pigs in an blanket were delicious! I will be back!

Although it ain?t no Randy?s donuts (famous place in LA), this place comes pretty close. The yeast donuts are soft and fluffy. Although the glaze is still very sweet, it?s not as cavity inducing compared to the other donut places. The owners are super nice and she always adds a handful of free donut holes to my order. I?ve tried all the other donut shops but I keep coming back to this one.

My husband and I had heard wonderful things about this doughnut shop and we were not disappointed! The kolaches and glazed doughnuts were absolutely fantastic. We will definitely be returning!

Nice little surprize while searching for a little mid day treat! Very tasty donuts and the service was great!

Very incredibly sweet lady. Donuts are delicious and the store is so well stocked and cute with little goodies! :)

The service was awesome, super clean donut shop, and everything tasted delicious. Definitely will be back!

Support your locally owned businesses. This donut shop have, by far the best donuts and kolaches I've ever had! The donuts are soft and everything is made fresh daily. This is definitely my new spot. Give them a try. Young Donuts 1201 E main st. Set #280, Allen, TX 75002

The donuts are solid, but not the best in the area. Max's donuts just down the way has a much better glazed donut. Better than Got Donut.

Their donuts are sooo great! Not too sweet but tasty. The price is also reasonable. I can eat it every day!

great environment, even better donuts! always friendly always so kind and willing to make my favorite which is white icing with round sprinkles! they brighten my day every time I go in therr, which is...more than if like to admit!

I definitely recommend coming here. Customer service is amazing. The lady running the shop is very kind and helpful. Not to mention they have an awesome selection and their kolaches and donuts taste great.

Donuts and kolaches are always freshly made. I love the fact they have mini kolache which are perfect for younger kids and they're the only ones in my area that has the glazed chocolate devil food donut which is my perfect choice..very good variety and the staff are always pleasant plus they give a free bonus of donut holes(6) with ur order??

Great donut shop with two sweet ladies that were serving us. I had a pretty big sampler of their donuts and sausage rolls and everything we tried was way above average, and for the price it is so hard not to stop in during their business hours.

Wow wow wow! These prices are from 1995 and the taste from the year 3000! I mean that in the best way possible. I?m not a breakfast person but this place will have me going back every day!

Best fresh donuts, friendliest people! No better place in Allen. My family has been patrons of Young Donuts since 2003.

This place is always packed, but don't let that stop you- it is worth the wait! The BEST donuts and cinnamon rolls. They also have kolaches, breakfast sandwiches and burritos. No egg or non pork meats available, though.

Just ordered them from doordash. Omg so good! best kolaches I have had in a long time, so soft and yummy!

Started the new year off right by taking a walk, a walk right to the donut shop! They were happy to see us and helped us start 2020 off with happy faces and happy taste buds! Located right off the hiking trail, easy to get to by foot or by car.

Been going to Young donuts for 20 years... they are the best!!

Honestly one of my son's favorite breakfast places, he definitely would eat there everyday if my wife or I had a chance to take him, he loves the breakfast burritos as well as the pig's in a blanket, my wife enjoys the raspberry doughnuts and the cappacinos

The couple at Young Donuts is so friendly!!! Their donuts are tasty and coffee is great!!!

The owner is so sweet and wonderful, customer service was amazing. I grew up going to her donut shop every chance that I can get. I love it, with all my heart.

I love this donut shop I?ve come here since I was in pre-school and it?s always been the same lady running this place and I am 19 now she is the sweetest and the donuts are great 10/10 recommend
