Donuts near Buda

“As long as we have lived in Buda, we have visited this donut shop. My husband enjoys their chocolate donut holes and apple fritters; my children love their plentiful donut options; and I love their croissant breakfast sandwiches. The owners are incredibly kind and locals.

Whenever we venture out to try other donut shops, we always end up disappointed and return to this establishment because the others can’t compete.“

“Nice staff and great Donuts... Welcome to Buda!!! 🍩🍩🍩“

“I don't get to visit this shop often but the staff sure is friendly. The donuts are dependable but the sausage croissants are what I always try to get. It's a nice quick stop early in the AM on the way to work. Parking is limited but it's never really too bad. Easy on/off the main road.“

“I went in recently for the first time and thought the place was great! I bought a dozen glazed and two types of kolaches (sausage, and the sweet). It was wonderful! Fluffy fresh donuts and the kolaches were very tasty. Definitely recommend!“

“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.“

“The best pastries in town and I highly recommend the assortment of delicious kolaches!

Kid-friendliness: I am an adult and I feel like a kid in a candy store, or donut bakery!

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking and also wheelchair accessible into the bakery“

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

“Your friendly neighborhood donut shop. The owners are very kind and their donuts and kolaches are always fresh and delicious.

You don’t go to Fresh Donuts on Thaxton Road because you’re looking for a theme or lofty notions of challenging what exactly a donut shop can be. You’re not there to pay premium prices for half-baked (or half-fried) vessels to deliver some novel topping or flavor with dubious execution. No, you’re likely there because you’re in the area and your options are limited.

This is not an indictment against the quality to be found at this humble shop nor a cynical jeer at the dedication that’s at work here. Fresh Donuts deals in the Platonic idea of the donut and they do it remarkably well. The evidence is in the balance of velvety airiness and crispy sweetness in every bite of a classic plain glazed; the captivating ratio of cinnamon to sugar on a cinnamon twist that is never cloying or bland. When the thing you make lines up cleanly with the archetype, anything else becomes a diversion. Sharks have changed relatively little even after millions of years.

While many shops are content to serve glorified pigs-in-a-blanket, Fresh Donuts make their version of Texas kolaches adorned in a soft golden brown bread that melts in your mouth. That same kolache bread, along with croissants, is used to make simple but satisfying breakfast sandwiches as well.

Taste is subjective, often stubborn, sometimes fickle. So don’t just take my word for it. Ask any of the locals and passers-by who frequent the establishment and help make Fresh Donuts an integral locus point of the community. One only needs to leisurely nurse an apple fritter at a corner table to witness the mutual connection between the steady parade of customers and the beautiful couple behind the counter.

This is why you’re there.“

“I went after working an overnight shift to take home donuts for my family. I am sooo glad I stopped!!! The staff is friendly and welcoming. The donuts are AMAZING!!! We are addicted!!! I won’t ever go back to Duncan or Shipley’s again. Kyle Donuts is definitely worth the money. You get what you pay for in every bite! 😋“

“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.“
