“Outstanding service!! Greeted like an old friend every time I come in. Never disappointed in whatever I get. So tasty!! Worth going out of your way to visit.“

“Yummy donuts! Amazing deserts. I definitely recommend.“

“Most delicious donuts in Austin! My girlfriend purchased a Too Good to Go order from here on Mother's Day, and it was best way to kick off the week. The owner was upbeat, kind, and generous with the donuts he handpicked. They're easy to pull apart, not too sweet or greasy, and definitely something you want to take your time eating. This is now my new favorite donut shop.“

“The people here are really so sweet, the donuts are good, and the breakfast sandwiches, haven’t tried much else. Sometimes you get complimentary treats which is nice. There is a real small business feel. Excellent experience every time I come! Ive purchased just for me and for events and it’s always really smooth experience. My fav are the mochi donuts 🤤“

“I rode my bicycle 3 miles out of my way to visit this donut shop while visiting Austin. Best decision of my entire trip. I would have ridden my bike 20 and felt justified. The raised donuts were fantastic! Some of the best I’ve had in years! And the person who served me was incredibly sweet!“

“Delicious hot fresh donuts!“

“Very good donuts of Austin everybody loves it your te best of Anderson mill rd“

“I experienced their donuts at a Lunar New Year event at Flow Yoga. I’m not usually a donut fan, but gave these a try. They are denser than typical, much closer to the ones my mom used to make. The flavors were so good! I got the tea infused one, the black sesame seed one, the yuzu and the mandarin. They were all delicious! If you need a new donut assortment for your next gathering, get these. Everyone will find something to please them, you’ll support a small business, and you’ll get major brownie points for creativity! Photo is post sampling 🤭“

“The best donuts I've tasted. Excellent service ��������������“

“We ordered our wedding cake from Donut Empire. we always wanted a donut cake and never thought it possible but thanks to Donna and Cheryanne they immediately were so helpful and patient and executed the donut cake/donut tower to the T!!! it was exactly as we imagined it and even better!! it was a super hit with all our guests! Would definitely do it again!! thank you!! apart from appearance the taste was Amazing!!!! thank you!!“

“This shop has green tea–glazed donuts! I’ve been searching for them for a while, and they’re amazing. Highly recommended if you’ve been looking for them too or just want to try something new.

The girl at the front register was super nice and friendly, and the extra donut holes were a great touch.

The sausage kolaches were soft and flavorful. The portion size was just right—not too small, not too big—and the price was reasonable for what you get.

Don’t forget to try their apple fritter!“

“they have really good donuts. my co workers loved them. now I have to do donut runs every 2 weeks.“

“Grand Donuts has a handful of locations around Central Texas including this location along Little Elm Trail in Cedar Park. They offer a nice range of donuts, kolaches, coffee and related morning food items and are open from 5am to 1pm (Mon to Sat) and 6am to 1pm (Sun). Recently stopped by and picked up an apple fritter that was nicely baked, good portion size and reasonable priced. The fritter tasted very good at home with a fresh cup of black coffee. Would gladly return to Grand donut for another fritter based on this recent experience.“

“Family friendly environment with tasty donuts and kolaches 😋“

“Just picked up breakfast for the first time at Angel Donuts and Treats. I don’t think I’ll be going anywhere else for our weekly donut outing. The donuts are stellar, the cake balls are flavourful, and the macarons are perfect in both texture and taste. Staff was simultaneously helpful and laid back. Very low pressure atmosphere. The only possible downside to this place is that everyone else knows about it and a bunch of the flavours were gone within 4 hours of them opening. Go early, get the good stuff!“

“Good breakfast items and great crew love this place“

“Love this place... My grandson always wants to go here!!! We go almost every weekend... Love their breakfast tacos and croissant breakfast sandwich, and of course their donuts. The owners and staff are awesomely friendly.“

“Best donuts that I have had in Austin. This is a simple neighborhood donut shop that hits above its class. The classic glaze and coconut are my favorite. This place still uses butter! You can taste it in their product. Everyone in south east Austin should make this place their go to.“

“The best donuts in Austin Texas.“

“Amazing experience, we’re visiting from out of town…loved the name. We drove out of the way to stop. It did not disappoint. Gorgeous selection of 4th of July treats, along with sausage rolls, apple fritters, cinnamon rolls and more than my eyes could take in. Everything was perfectly cooked and appealing. While we enjoying our treats there was a continuous parade of kids with their parents who say this is a regular stop. Owners were wonderful..when they knew we were just visiting they gave me a couple stickers for my car and water bottle. ❤️❤️❤️we will definitely stop in again. I’m from Oregon and grew up with Voodoo. This puts them to shame and at a much better price point.“

“I went yesterday for the first time, and I was back again this morning! Thats to say the food is delicious and I got an iced coffee it was so yummy! If you are ever in the area this place is a must try!
The lady who works there is so friendly, it’s a great environment, and she’s always so happy. :)
I went in at 7:30AM the kolaches and donuts were out and ready!“

“Flew in for a few days and made sure to get back here for the best breakfast tacos in Austin. They cook the eggs perfectly and I could drink the green sauce by itself its so good. Love this place, it has been 9 uears since I ate it and it is exactly as good as I remember.“

“This place is delicious delight and decadence! If you’re gonna complain about the prices then just say you can’t afford it and go somewhere else. They are worth the weight and the money. The doughnuts are amazing and they always have some special limited ones to go with the holidays and seasons. The staff is friendly and helpful. The ambiance and decor are on point and they have some great merch. So if you love doughnuts and you want something a little wild with some cool ambience stop in. Pick up a dozen decadent treats and maybe a shirt and some stickers. It’s well worth a visit!“

“Shipley's Donuts is the best donut restaurant in Dripping Springs! I used to come here as a kid and get the Bostom Cream donut, if only they would bring it back. Yummy donuts and kolaches, clean restrooms, friendly staff, and calm atmosphere.

Edit: Thanks for the reply, owner! Will you consider bringing it back, as this donut carries my childhood nostalgia? And not just for me, but for all the Boston cream lovers out there!“

“One of the best cheese danishes I have had and I've had many because I love them so much. The pastry itself and the cream along with the fruit topping is perfect. I think what makes a really good Danish is the actual dough being used and this dough is buttery and flakey. Great breakfast sandwiches as well. Inexpensive yet quality food.. you just can't beat that.“

“ATX is the best donut place we’ve visited in a while! None of the big donut chains compare! All donuts are fresh and delicious and the kolaches are AMAZING too! The staff is always friendly and welcoming and they always go above and beyond whatever the occasion may be!!!!“

“Obsessed with these little guys. A sweet treat that’s not terrible for you. In fact, I feel good eating them because of the clean ingredients and protein. I’m always short on protein, so having it in a muffin I love is a major win. Side note: it’s impossible to have just one.“

“Great customer service and delicious donuts!!!“

“Tried them for the first time at the domain location.... Cedric was so nice and friendly! I will definitely recommend and visit again. Great sweet treat! 🙂❤️“

“Cool experience and yummy donuts! 😋“

“Ya”ll the truth! I appreciate the friendly service! Hooking me up with the coffee flavors and what pairs well with the food! y’all should try the maple one and the doughnut holes next level best doughnuts I had in austin! The vibe of the shop inside the shop is immaculate! 10/10 for me! Keep doing y’all’s thang out here gang! If you looking for doughnuts that will send you to the moon and back the salty doughnut is a must!“

“Wow is correct! Really great service and delightful folks (family owned) who makes delicious ? doughnuts ? ? yummy

Parking: Near a gas station.

Kid-friendliness: Sure seems like it?

Wheelchair accessibility: It appears that a wheelchick and easily access the doorway providing. You're able to get up on to the sidewalk from a disabled parking space ... I think it's possible“

“Overall I've never been a donut person myself over the last decade or so and not even a fan of Shipley's in particular, but I will admit I enjoy cake Donuts a lot more than I used to considering I try to watch my sugar intake. With their plain cake donut, their buttermilk cake donut and their blueberry cake donut, none of them iced that is, being around a little over a hundred calories per donut and 7 g of sugar is quite fantastic“

“After enjoying a single Shipley’s donut, I was reminded as to why this establishment defines the term ‘institution’. The venerable confection’s taste is off the charts. These seasoned professionals demonstrate a genuine passion for quality in their product and pride in their work. The site is spotless from top to bottom and the representatives are polite and personable. This satisfied customer looks forward to numerous visits in the near future.“

“This particular SHIPLEYS goes above and beyond from helping the less fortunate in the community to the love and dedication for there craft. Dalia Lopez is a very passionate owner that’s from open to close“

“Helped provide breakfast for hard working front line Covid nurses! Always good donuts and service. Now we know they have a good heart too!“

“They went above and beyond to make my son’s birthday special. They made “happy birthday” doughnuts with his name. They were a huge hit and the staff was so great. Highly recommend them for every day but especially the special days too!“

“This is the only place we go for donuts. It’s a local favorite and we love supporting local businesses.“

“donuts are so yummy and of course coffee is so good“

“First and foremost, I want to highlight the exceptional service provided by Christina, the manager. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that each customer receives personalized and attentive care. Her leadership is reflected in the positive energy and professionalism of her team—especially Heaven, Alma, and several other outstanding employees.

Every time I stop by to enjoy a donut, I’m warmly greeted by these ladies. Our small chats make me feel like I’m visiting a family-run business—their camaraderie and teamwork are truly impressive.

The store is always spotless, and the staff greets everyone with a genuine smile. Without a doubt, this experience surpasses anything I’ve had at Krispy Kreme.

Thank you all once again!

Warm regards,
Lisa Ross“

“Our fav spot in Austin. 🙏

Anyone who gives this place a negative review just doesn’t understand what a vibe is. You don’t go to Jo’s for latte art, you go to Jo’s for a vibe — to sit in the sun, hang with your dog, people watch, meet friends, dance…“

“December 2025

This was my first experience at a Tim Hortons and this coffee shop was very new. The staff was super nice and ordered a coffee and Hot Breakfast Sandwich. They must be very popular where have a lot of their own branded merchandise. The coffee had a great taste and the breakfast sandwich was rather large and tasty. They seem to have a lot of food items on their menu. The place had a Canadian atmosphere with hockey touches.“

“I love the special edition valentines donuts they do. However do not get the red ones with the chocolate filling. The donut itself was old and the filling wasn’t fresh. The red dye was overpowering and left red on everything it touched…nasty… and omg the bees even in the drive thru“

“I’m leaving 5 star to combat the negative reviews. Yes the seating area needs a deep clean because it’s an ice cream and donut shop; both of which are made of sticky things that will be constantly spilled. And it’s serviced by high school kids.

But the ice cream is good, reliable Baskin Robbins. They have a ton of flavors. It’s in the neighborhood and doesn’t cost $12 per serving.“

“On this day, i came in to a single employee who appeared to be running the store alone. She was efficient, friendly and was working very hard on her own. Kept a smile on her face despite going through a bit of a rush alone. She's awesome and as usual, doughnuts were great!“
