50 Best Donuts in Austin

“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.“

“Great selection of doughnuts and great staff!

I grabbed some delicious stuff:
- Boudin kolaches
- Danish pastry
- Sour cream donuts
- Long John's where you pick the custard filling (Lemon was great?)

Such a good selection and very tasty!
Service and atmosphere was awesome too!“

“Family friendly environment with tasty donuts and kolaches 😋“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 🤭“

“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!“

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

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

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

“Good breakfast items and great crew love this place“

“Stopped in for a sweet treat after a doctor appointment this week and the French macarons were absolutely 10/10! I think they are the best I’ve ever had and are a must try. I’m looking forward to trying their chocolate croissant and the Mango Lime Dream soon. What an unexpected, delicious find this shop is!“

“Fresh donuts are the best kept secret of SE Austin. Their donuts are the best we've had in Austin. Their kolaches are also very delicious. This is hands down the only place I get my donuts from. You can't go wrong with choosing any style and flavor. I especially like the apple fritter. They know how to fry these and make them deliciously crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Not mushy like some other places. I highly recommend Fresh donuts to everyone. Staff is also very friendly.“

“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.“

“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.“

“One of the best donut spots in Austin. The ‘eclairs’/long Johns are fantastic and they do not skimp on the Bavarian cream like most places do.

The donuts are also so soft and just yummy. We will definitely be back, often!

And they have jumbo donuts too!“

“This place has become one of my favorites! They have a great selection of fresh donuts, kolaches, and other breakfast treats, and everything I've tried has been delicious. What really sets them apart, though, is the woman who runs the shop. She is incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely appreciative of every customer who walks through the door. It's the kind of local business that makes you want to keep coming back. Great food, great service, and wonderful people—I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!“

“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.“

“I finally had the chance to try Voodoo Doughnut and I can honestly say these were some of the best vegan donuts I’ve ever had! Every donut was incredibly fresh, flavorful, soft, and absolutely delicious. It’s not always easy finding vegan treats that taste this amazing, but Voodoo Doughnut definitely exceeded my expectations.
I would also like to add that what made the experience even better was how friendly and welcoming the staff was from the moment I walked in. The customer service was outstanding, and you could truly tell the employees enjoyed what they do. The atmosphere was fun, energetic, and unique, which made the visit even more memorable.

Overall, if you are looking for delicious vegan donuts with excellent customer service, I highly recommend stopping by Voodoo Doughnut. I will definitely be coming back again!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I was there today and the service was amazing. Everybody was friendly. I was greeted once I opened the door and my food was quickly given to me. They were very helpful to me and the environment. Everyone is so friendly. I love the food. It’s a great place to start your morning here in the domain.“

“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!“

“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! 😋“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

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

“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!“

“I recently visited Jo's Coffee – South Congress, and it was an excellent experience that perfectly captures the unique charm and energy of Austin. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. The outdoor seating area creates a relaxed environment where guests can enjoy their coffee, catch up with friends, or simply take in the vibrant surroundings.
The quality of the coffee was outstanding. Every sip was rich, fresh, and expertly prepared. The menu offers a great selection of coffee drinks, teas, and light bites, making it easy to find something for every taste. I especially appreciated the consistency and attention to detail that went into each order. The food options were also fresh and flavorful, making for a satisfying meal alongside the beverages.
One of the standout aspects of Jo's Coffee is the staff. The team was professional, attentive, and genuinely friendly, creating a positive experience from start to finish. Even during busy periods, service remained efficient and welcoming.
The location itself adds to the appeal. Situated in a lively area, it provides the perfect spot to relax, people-watch, or take a break while exploring the neighborhood. The atmosphere feels authentic, comfortable, and full of character.
Overall, Jo's Coffee – South Congress is a fantastic destination for coffee lovers and visitors alike. With high-quality drinks, tasty food, excellent service, and a memorable atmosphere, it stands out as one of the best coffee spots in the area. I highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for a great cup of coffee and a genuinely enjoyable experience.“

“Had a great experience this morning! The customer service was excellent, and I appreciate that I get coupons in the mail. I’ve been here twice, and so far, I highly recommend the vanilla chai latte and avocado + egg burrito! Will come again“

“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.“

“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“

“Krispy Kreme is always a must‑stop when we’re in town. And honestly, it’s not just the doughnuts that keep us coming back — it’s the customer service. Mario is consistently wonderful every time we stop by. Truly excellent service. Krispy Kreme, you’ve got a good one there.“

“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!“
