50 Best Donuts in Houston

“Food is amazing, customer service was great as well. Im not much of a social person, but they made me at ease and my family really does love the food. My mom isn't a fan of sausage, but their mini kolaches really made a difference for her“

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

“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!!!“

“Best donuts in the neighborhood. Don’t miss a chance to stop in and meet Dani! She and her husband are extremely kind and friendly. Donuts are always fresh and much better than that larger chain. Don’t forget to grab some donut holes and a Vietnamese iced coffee.“

“Finally decided to try this place after passing by so many times. Highly recommend! It is very clean with efficient service. The boudain kolaches are excellent with a lot of filling. The glazed donuts are some of the best I've ever had. Will definitely return to try more items!“

“I had one of the greatest experience at this Donut shop. The two young ladies were very professional and welcoming.

“The lady here is the absolute sweetest!! Have never had such a great experience at a donut shop before. The food is amazing and very filling. Ordered 12 Kolaches and me and my wife only finished 2 out of 12 before getting full. Will definitely be coming back again!“

“Always friendly and have a variety of donuts“

“Henry and Thida are the sweetest and best owners!! Super friendly and they enjoy taking care of their customers.
The pepperoni pizza kolache, the sausage and jalepeno, and the donuts and Vietnamese coffee were amazing!
Plus they have these cool claw machines for a fun prize.“

“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!“

“The best doughnut shop!!! They bring back the taste of the original doughnut. Thank you!!!“

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

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

“I stopped by this donut shop a little over a month ago and completely forgot to leave a review.

I actually found it by accident. I was walking from my house to Discount Tire after having my car towed, and after a few miles I spotted this place. I figured I’d double back and grab a jelly-filled donut since it was morning and I’d already done a lot of walking.

The donut was delicious, and it only cost about a dollar, which was a pleasant surprise. I’m not a huge donut person, but for that price and quality, I’d definitely stop by again if I’m in the area.

The person working the counter was super friendly, and the shop had a really welcoming, neighborhood feel. While I was there taking a break, a regular came in, and they already knew her order. I always like seeing places like that where the staff know their customers by name and know what they’re going to order before they even ask. It gives the place a really nice, local atmosphere.

There isn’t a lot of seating inside, and it seemed like most people were just grabbing their donuts on the way to work. I happened to snag one of the few tables so I could rest for a bit before finishing my walk.

Overall, it’s a great little neighborhood donut shop with friendly service, yummy donuts, and prices that are hard to beat. I’d definitely come back if I’m in the area again.“

“Love this place, great prices and the staff is so nice.“

“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.“

“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,👍“

“If you’re looking for the best donuts in town, Donut Guys is the place! The donuts are always fresh, delicious, and made with outstanding quality. The prices are very reasonable, and the customer service is second to none.

Carlos and his wife do an amazing job running this shop. They are incredibly friendly, hardworking, and always make every customer feel welcome. You can tell they truly care about their customers and take pride in what they do.

It’s rare to find a local business that consistently delivers great food, excellent service, and such a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend stopping by—you won’t be disappointed!“

“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.“

“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.“

“They're a wonderful Ma and Pa shop, made the decision to give them a visit the other day with my sibling and we had the best time there.

Their apple fritters? Sized right and delicious.
Their Kolaches? Equally good.
Their drinks? They're really good.

We're blessed to have such a nice Breakfast spot so close to us, and I wish to continue supporting them in the future. ^^“

“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.“

“I’ve driven past this spot for as long as I can remember, and I’m honestly shocked I didn’t stop in sooner. Prices are great, the kolache options are solid, and the staff is friendly and fast. Easily my new go to place for kolaches.“

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

“Best breakfast croissants ever ! And their breakfast tacos are top tier . 5 stars“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“MY FAVORITE LOCAL DONUT SHOP EVER!!! This review is long overdue but better late than never! My go to order here is the breakfast bacon, egg, & cheese croissant but I’ve ordered donuts here too and let me tell you…the customer service, atmosphere, and food is always so fresh and delicious! Huge shoutout and thank you to Donovan who is always smiling and so welcoming!“

“I went in for a quick coffee and ended up walking out with a half-dozen because I couldn't decide. The glazed ones are dangerously good — light, fluffy, and that glaze actually tastes like real vanilla instead of straight corn syrup.“

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

“Very friendly family owned business. They extend that kindness to their customers. I love the variety and ability to try different flavors, but the classics are still available.“

“Been going there for years and they just keep getting better and better.
Great quality, friendly family staff and great prices.
Good selection including chappelhill sausage kolaches and Bacon/Egg/Cheese biscuits or crousants“

“This is the only donut and kolache place you ever need go to. The owners care about their business and it shows. Super sweet lady super clean and friendly. Food is fresh ! My toddler will not eat any other kolaches other than here . The fact that she warms it too is also a good reason as to why the food taste good!“

“The atmosphere, coffee, food and employees are great. Awesome place to go to and relax with some friends or just by yourself. 10/10 would recommend.“

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

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Been coming here for about 10 years and the quality has remained excellent throughout. Their kolaches are my favorite item but their donuts, croissants, tacos etc are also great. Owners are also very friendly and take care of their customers. Highly recommend!“

“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 🙂“

“Excellent Service here! Highly Recommend“

“I stumbled across Citizen Donuts by pure happy coincidence and honestly, it's one of the best accidents of my life.

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a genuine, warm smile that instantly makes you feel like a regular, even if it's your first visit. The owners have that rare gift of making you feel like you've been coming in every day for the last five years. In a world of self-checkout kiosks and transactional experiences, that kind of hospitality is worth its weight in gold.

And then there's the food. Everything is fresh, affordable, and absolutely delicious and here's a detail I love: they'll heat up whatever you order, so that first bite tastes like it just came straight out of the oven.

Where to start if you're new:
🌶️ Jalapeño Sausage & Cheese Kolache Get the large. Trust me, you will not regret it.
🍩 Glazed Donuts Simple, classic, and genuinely smile-inducing.
🥩 Brisket Kolache Possibly the best I've ever had!

I'll be honest, there's still plenty I haven't tried yet (I've been eyeing that chocolate muffin and the Thai Iced Tea for my next visit), which tells you just how much there is to love here.

Whether you're a donut loyalist, a kolache connoisseur, or just someone who appreciates being treated like a human being when they walk into a shop, don't sleep on Citizen Donuts. It's the kind of place that makes your whole day better.“

“Great Kolaches and great breakfast biscuits“

“Simply the best.“

“Let me tell ya'll something.....i have known about this company for YEARS! Understand me? My 1st time was last Saturday 3/28 I do.t like Shipley, Krispy Kream or Dunkin....but this place hits all check points. Definitely will be back and will spread love to my colleagues“

“So so good! It was our first time here and the people working there was super nice and recommended us to get one of everything LOL. I was so excited with all the kolaches and other options they had, everything looked incredible.
We got the kolaches and some donuts Everything was delicious! Both the kolaches kinda tasted similar and the Jalapeño added a kick to them, it had the perfect crust and it was so crispy after I air-fried them at home. The coffees was really good too, the coffee was strong but not too strong.
I would definitely come back to try other stuff, highly recommend this place!!“

“My favorite donut place; bonus because it’s locally owned. The owner is quick with completing orders, the food is good and fresh, and fairly priced. There’s always people hanging out there and sometimes there can be a line in the morning, but you never have to wait long. There’s a good variety of options from savory to sweet to choose from to accommodate a big family.“

“I’ve been coming here for years. The Chappell hill sausages are good and their kolaches are good. The breakfast croissant sandwiches are delicious because unlike most places these are made to order. Those complaining that the price went up. If you can’t afford coffee and a kolache for 6-7 bucks. Stay home. Everything has gone up. It is what it is. You can’t expect to run a business and keep your prices the same. I’ve gone up on my services too for my business.“

“Ordered as an add on to a coffee order and just expected cinnamon rolls and a twist. I have to say the texture of the bread in the rolls was absolutely perfect. The cinnamon rolls were especially delicious. This is coming from an out of towner.“
