50 Best Donuts in Houston

“Vietnamese Iced Coffee - 11 out of 10. Smooth, dark flavor and makes your heart palpitate just the right amount.

Spicy Boudin and Biscuit Kolaches - 10 out of 10. The biscuit kolache is deceivingly delicious.

The owners are extremely welcoming and friendly. If you have a problem here, it’s not them…it’s you.“

“I have getting donuts from Robin’s for many years now but yesterday I had the spinach feta pastry and I can’t stop thinking about it! I have an ask! Will you try to make them with ham and swiss? I would wait in line to try that!!!“

“Donuts are amazing! They are soft and pillow like...We also had a croissant (chicken and swiss cheese) - OMG delicious!! Also, they have a large variety of kolache (that looked delicious)....This will be my forever Sunday breakfast spot. I hope everyone that reads this post will decide to stop by.“

“So glad y'all are open on Christmas Day. These kolaches are delicious!“

“We went in only for breakfast while we wait to host a buy a plate fundraiser to raise money for our cousin (who tragically passed) in the shopping center. They graciously gifted us a dozen donuts for everybody and we couldn’t be more grateful!! This will forever be our donut spot and proves compassion and empathy from our community still exists 🫶🏽“

“Just driving by and decided to pull in looking for fruit kolaches. Didn't find those but a horchata donut caught my eye. Absolutely delicious! Owner warned me NOT to blame them if I got addicted. Glad I don't live here anymore because I'd be a frequent customer“

“I had an amazing experience at Kolache Bar in the Energy Corridor thanks to the incredible service from Thida Preap and Henry Muon. From the moment I walked in, both of them greeted me with genuine smiles and warm energy that instantly made me feel welcome.

Thida was attentive and helpful, guiding me through the menu with great recommendations that were spot on. She made sure my order was perfect and checked in to ensure I had everything I needed without ever being intrusive. Henry, meanwhile, was equally impressive—super friendly, efficient, and clearly passionate about creating a great customer experience.

The teamwork between Thida and Henry made the visit smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. You can tell they truly care about their customers and take pride in what they do. With employees like them, it's no surprise this place has such a great reputation. I'll definitely be coming back—and bringing friends!

Thank you, Thida and Henry, for going above and beyond!“

“Really are the best donuts in Meyerland/Southwest Houston.
Ladies are quick so when the line is long... you still get served in 10 minutes.
It's a donut shop, clean with tables... not atmosphere. LOL.
I buy from them 3 times a month and have never been disappointed.
Highly recommend.“

“Breakfast tacos and sandwiches are off the charts good!!! Fast and friendly service!“

“Highly recommend this place!! I’ve been coming here for a very long time and I’ve not been disappointed. Their Breakfast sandwiches are the best. Donuts are delicious their glaze is just perfect!! The blueberry donut is a must! Along with everything else of course. Talk about BIG BACK we have tried every single item they sell lol. For a good price and great service this is definitely your mom and pops donut place to go.“

“Super staff! Pleasant from the time you walk in the door. Listening to the interaction between them and other customers this is like a super home atmosphere. You honestly feel welcome, now the food. From doughnuts to croissants to kolaches everything was fresh and honestly tasty, not greasy as some places can be, the un hurried atmosphere took away the stress of getting to work these mornings.“

“Soooooo good!!!!!! The best dor breakfast or snack“

“Very delicious and very friendly staff. I ordered donuts and a boudin kolache.“

“Just visited here instead of a big name chain like Krispy Kreme because it was so close by. I got a dozen doughnuts, donut holes, a drink and 2 Kolachs for under 30$! Friendly service and super fast as well. Definitely gonna stop by more to support them.“

“Love this place!! Been going here for over 15 yrs. They are super friendly! Their donuts are the BEST!! Absolutely love their cake glazed donuts: the red velvet cake donut is my favorite and the blueberry on is right behind it. Depending on how much you purchase they usually throw extra treats in. I looovvve this place!“

“I absolutely adore this dairy-free donut spot. My go to stop for breakfast when I visit my hometown! Their donuts are large and golden brown delicious perfection IMHO. I am not a sugar fan, and their glaze is an appropriate proportion to the bread for me. Must try!“

“A friend invited me to go to this place today. I had never been and OMG I am so glad I went! It was amazing! The doughnuts are huge and so delicious. The raspberry filled is off the charts scrumptious! The atmosphere is so inviting and the staff is very welcoming. Will be coming back!!!“

“Great guy who works in the Morning and I been going all week ! however our kid went there and unfortunately had an bad experience he was sort like 50 cents and they the lady made him put something back I mean it was just 50 cents …. But other than her they guy in the morning is super nice and pleasant“

“Hands down the best old fashion donut and fruit fritter I’ve ever had.“

“The nicest people, even better donuts. And now they have cinnamon rolls on Friday which are the best I've ever tasted. The frosting is more like cream than sugar, and the roll is light and fluffier than most Rumor: Ask about the Chocolate Cinnamon Roll that may be under development in the test kitchen.“

“the food was to the mark it was so delicious that my guests asked about the place from where we ordered 5/5 stars highly recommend,👍“

“We live out of town ( in Troy, TX). I’m writing this review because my nieces have bought the maple bacon donuts to 2 family functions and These donuts were hands down a family favorite! Will definitely become part of our Family Tradition from now on…..“

“Friendly staff, unique assortment & variety, and delicious doughnuts!“

“Great product great service.“

“Best kolaches in town. donuts are amazing and staff is super friendly“

“The absolute best! The food is super affordable and always made fresh! nothing is ever from the day before. Donuts and tacos are made fresh daily, and you can really taste the difference! My favorite are the breakfast tacos. The owner and staff are always so friendly, and the owner gives so much back to the community. Truly a local gem! The best in town.“

“Our family has been going to Mr. Donuts for years and it beats ALL other places for freshness, yumminess, customer service and large menu!! We have tried others and no one can beat them! Tried the “cronut” today - a cross between a croissant and glazed donut - yum! Also tried the brisket kolache - delicious and a great non fatty cut of meat. ALWAYS enjoy all their donuts plus ham and cheese and sausage and cheese kolaches. Quality is very consistent as well!“

“This place is a little hidden. But once you step into it and you try their goodies is amazing. Family owned and operated Their jalapeño sausage kolache’s and donuts are the bomb“

“The owners are incredibly kind and work quickly 😃

They do have a small selection when it comes to breakfast, but I have to say that what they do have is pretty good!

My go-to is the croissant sandwiches. The way they make the croissant is sweet and soft 👌

If you're in the area and looking for breakfast served fast and delicious. This is the spot!“

“Love this place. Everytime we get kolaches or Donuts they are good. Depends what you get for a family of 3 I have spent around $30 or more. I get the Inflation cost has gone up, I just wish donuts were not $1.50 thats everyone's prices now. You won't be disappointed coming here even their speciality donuts are amazing.“

“i got the glazed donuts and they were super soft and i love that the glaze is not too sweet. i also got the blueberry glazed donuts and they were super soft and moist, my favorite!!

i also got a couple sausage kolaches and the same can be said for them about their softness.

the lady at the front who took my order was also super sweet—will definitely come back!! 🫶🏼“

“Great Kolaches and great breakfast biscuits“

“My whole family loves Max's! Not only do they have great, affordable donuts, but they also have a unique spin on their items that doesn't go "overboard". Donuts are meant to be simple with a very small jeune and Max's leans into that!

We are lifers here!!“

“finally tried this place after passing by million times. im not much of a donut person but this spot was highly recommended when i was searching for delicious kolache. i always see lines of people in the morning here.!

anyways, walked in, they had a whole menu but it was confusing. i wish the menu was written on the glass window with simple $. i wasnt sure what to order so i just got the mini donuts, strawberry/chocolate/vanilla donuts one each and sausage kolache.

the kolache was super simple which it was a bit of a let down. the kolache bun was good but i was expecting for it to be a breakfast type kolache where it will fill you up. i think all the kolaches they have are really basic,. so i dont think im gonna get that again.

the flavored donuts were good and i loved the mini donuts! i liked how they werent overly sweet. that was a big plus for me. and the overall pricing was reasonable.“

“The donuts and kolaches are super delicious. Everything tastes super fresh and the employees are friendly and kind! Definitely a great spot to grab breakfast favorites 🙂“

“Visited here for the first time. absolutely IN LOVE! We purchased two character donuts and 4 of the regular donuts. Best donut I’ve had here in Texas! I plan on coming back for my babies birthdays and holiday events! Lovely staff!“

“delicious donuts! delicious boba smoothies, love the avocado flavor“

“Truly, the 10lb cinnamon roll is a heavenly delight And the owners are super sweet and treat you with the utmost kindness and compassion Never have I encountered a donut shop where I felt so valued and respected Wish they were closer to Pearland but it's well worth the drive I will definitely be back“

“Excellent Service here! Highly Recommend“

“Thank y'all for the amazing apple fritter that y'all made for me on Friday morning March 8th, 2024. It was definitely worth the wait. I've never had one that was freshly made like that and it was fantastic!!!“

“After 30 years of coming here, it's clear this place is a gem! Their kolaches are tasty, but I especially love the croissants and breakfast tacos. The croissants are large, perfectly flaky, and loaded with delicious bacon, egg, and cheese. When it comes to tacos, the potato breakfast taco always hits the spot. Beyond the great food, the operators are truly the best – always providing excellent service!“

“The absolute best donut shop I've ever been to with the absolute best owners by far that make you feel like friends and family. They offer the tastiest kolaches regular and spicy jumbo and regular sized as well as specialty kolaches like their brisket kolaches and their Boudain is delicious as well.

They also make some delicious croissant sandwiches, biscuit sandwiched and breakfast tacos.

Of course they also make a large variety of donuts and they also make the best apple fritters and their iced Vietnamese coffee is the best iced coffee you'll ever taste guaranteed better than those over hyped big name coffee shops and fast food restaurants that aren't made with the love of a small community donut shop.

The hidden gem of this donut shop other than the amazing owners are their Cronuts they make on special order that I included in the picture along side their iced coffee. Just let them know that you'd like to order some Cronuts in advance and they'll make them for you and have them ready for when you need them and you won't regret ordering them. Their Cronuts melt in your mouth and it's a one of a kind experience that every donut lover should experience at least once.

Anyone living in the East Aldine District, Aldine Area, Humble or North Houston should stop by this hidden gem.“

“Cute little donut shop at the corner of the shopping strip. The folks here are nice!! They sometimes hook you up with a free sample if you’re buying a large amount. It’s a great way to get business, to be honest. Great place to get both donuts and kolaches.“

“I freaking love this place!!! Every morning they have the best donuts, kolaches, burritos, and croissant sandwich!! Wayyy better than shipleys! All for the best price! The people that work there are so polite and nice. I always have to get my 2 sprinkled donuts with my potato tacos! Thank you!“

“My neighbor brought over an extra dozen donuts over from Home Cut Donuts. I thanked her, put the on my kitchen table but was reluctant 2 try them because they usually don't compare 2 the Houston donut shop errrr institution that has been here since 1936, but they have not been tasting like they used 2, lately. I eventually tried them ( 2 ). I put them in the microwave for 10 seconds. I took a bite. I was surprised. They tasted a lot better than I thought. The donuts were very tasty, especially w/ their sugary glaze. Next time, I want refrigerate them over night, microwave them & then taste them. See how they taste. That would be a true test. Would buy them again ? YES ! ! ! !“

“Simply the best.“

“Breakfast tacos and sandwiches are off the charts good!!! Fast and friendly service!“
