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“

“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!!!“

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

“Don't sleep on this shop!! There's a reason this tiny mom & pop shop is still standing, in the Heights nonetheless.

I went for the viet coffee recommended by a friend (delicious btw, get it medium sweet) but wowie, the donuts are like funnel cake and the kolaches are HUGE.

Viet iced coffee, head-sized kolache, & 1/2dz donut holes for $12?? Will be back!“

“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!“

“I had one of the greatest experience at this Donut shop. The two young ladies were very professional and welcoming. The treated me as a valuable customer on my first visit and they were full of energy and joy. I encourage you if you're looking for encouragement at he starting of your day, visit this place rhe Donuts are definitely delicious and the best customer service you will receive that will help you through any difficulties with a positive attitude.

“The variety of what they have from do-nuts to kolaches and biscuits and tacos is amazing. There kolaches are absolutely divine and the donuts 🍩 are phenomenal. If you haven't been here before y9u should definitely stop by and check them out they aren't over priced and the staff here 👌 just the cherry on top so friendly and sweet I don't normally leave alot of 5 star reviews I'm a very picky person but I just had to for this place. I got 2 jalapeño kolaches one, chappell jalapeño kolache they are huge, one spinach and feta pastrie, filled bag of donut holes, one lemon jelly filled donut, 2 chocolate milks, and the lady gave me an extra do-nut called blueberry cake so good btw. The price was only $22.89 that's not bad at all I've went to other places and 3 kolaches and one donut only was that price so definitely come check them out. Thank you friendly do-nuts ☺️“

“$17 for a dozen glazed donuts is not appealing but he saved the day by throwing in 4 random other types of donuts. Very generous and thoughtful. I will say without doing that to most orders it would make me consider cheaper options but this product is definitely good.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Always friendly and have a variety of donuts“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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,👍“

“Vietnamese coffee and kountry boy beef kolache definitely a must try , the owner of this place really loves what he does he explained the whole menu and recommended some of the most popular items so far what I had today really hit the spot and for sure I’m coming back to try their breakfast tacos ✅ highly recommend this place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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…..“

“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. ^^“

“My first time coming here and I loved it! I like that it has a drive thru and the menu is outside for you to see. The prices are not bad. I order donut holes, 1 of the kolaches and a chorizo &egg taco. The taco came with a green salsa. The taco Wasn't too big nor too small it was thePerfect size. I will definitely come again and order other things from their menu! The lady that helped me was very polite and nice. The service was pretty quick. Very impressive 👏 👌“

“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!“

“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 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!! 🫶🏼“

“First of all, I would like to say that the location is very clean, including the restroom. Has a small eating area for you to sit down and eat if you’d like. The staff are mostly generous and welcoming, but it can feel very rushed during busy hours which can be overwhelming for new comers. I’ve only ever tried their kolaches and their donut holes, and they are very tasty thus far. I did try their ham and cheese croissant once, and was not a fan. The bread itself was delicious, but the ham and the cheese were thrown on the sandwich without any real care. Overall it’s a great spot for kolaches and you’re in the area.“

“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.“

“Great Kolaches and great breakfast biscuits“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Excellent Service here! Highly Recommend“

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

“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.“

“Simply the best.“

“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!!“

“Stopped in for a yummy breakfast croissant. Good service , good food , will stop by from now on.“

“This place owes me NOTHINGGGGGGGGGGGG I will forever be a customer 🥰🥰🥰!!!!!!! 100mill/100mil !!!I definitely recommend this place.
