I had to make a constant road trip about twice a month, and I’ll make sure to Head out in time just so I could get some of their donuts. Top-tier quality and deliciousness, and I swear they are the nicest people I’ve ever met in my life. 10/10 highly recommend🤝

Early Donuts is the kind of spot you might drive past if you aren’t paying attention, but locals know better. The air is thick with the scent of warm glaze and yeasty dough, and there’s a comforting rhythm to the morning rush—pickup trucks idling in the drive-thru, regulars greeting the staff by name. This is where Early wakes up: croissants with just the right flake, pillowy-soft donuts that disappear faster than you expect, and kolaches that could hold their own anywhere in Texas. The owners move with quiet purpose behind the counter, slipping an extra donut hole into a bag for a birthday kid or sharing a laugh with someone who’s clearly been coming for years. It’s unpretentious and genuine—a small-town bakery that still feels like an anchor in the community. Travelers passing through are welcomed with easy generosity, while locals treat it as a morning ritual. In a world full of chain shops, Early Donuts stands apart for its warmth, simplicity, and the way it makes you feel like you belong—even if it's just for one cup of coffee.

Good selection of refridgerated beverages. Cute donut decor. Brisket kolache was delicious.
Coffee was still brewing, had to wait a few minutes. Coffee was strong as tar. Even with extra creamer, I couldn’t drink it. I brought it to the attention of the young lady, she suggested I throw away some and fill it with hot water. I handed it back to her and told her I couldn’t drink it.
I heard her tell other customers the owners went to Cisco. I hope she gets instructed on customer service. A refund or a substitution should have been offered.

You've found em... the best donuts, kolaches and absolutely the best croissants in central Texas. The owners are super friendly, and always accommodating. I tend to buy enough extras to snak on throughout the day, and hopefully a couple of donuts make it to the next morning for a rendezvous with some fresh, black coffee! (Doesn't happen that often unfortunately). Ya just can't beat Early Donuts! ?
Wish this donut shop and owners were out in the Bay Area. Both donuts I ordered were great. My only regret was that I got there too early for the apple fritters. Very friendly and kind staff, as well.

We went there for a special treat for my son's second birthday, the lady overheard my son at the table ask for "More Donuts" and she kindly brought one to the table and gave him one! It was so sweet! Great service! Wish we lived in Early so we could go more, we were just passing through on a day trip.
Parking: Parked right up front basically at the front door, it was so close.
Kid-friendliness: They have a little table for kids.
