Husband and I stopped here because we were craving some donuts and didn't want the thin ones from our usual Krispy Kreme trips! We figured we should give a local business a shot and found this gem. The shop is very clean and it seems like it's manned with 3 individuals, one in the front and two in the back. The woman that took my order was very friendly and answered my annoying questions on pricing with such poise, knowledge, and respect! Haha! I had a great experience and will surely be coming back. Their donuts are nice and thick, I love the doughy consistency and I found the frosting to be perfectly sweetened. Cake donuts were $1 each if you wanted under a dozen, if you bought a dozen it would be $10. Regular donuts were 85¢ each if you wanted under a dozen, if you bought a dozen it would be $9.90. read more

We have gone here twice now. We have gotten a couple dozen mixed each time. They are some of the softest and fluffiest donuts I've had in a long time. The blueberry was amazing and in a sucker for some good old fashion donuts. The people behind the counter are always super nice, and I usually give them the option to pick the donuts, and they pick the good ones, in telling ya. Small store, quiet inside, smells amazing, and has little coolers with drinks to pair with your food. They also do sausages, and croissants, and breakfast burritos to order. read more

I use to LOVE this place under the operation of the previous family that owned this shop. The donuts were always fresh, tasted good, plenty of options and the family that owned the business were the absolute sweetest. Every weekend my little ones loved to stop in for their weekend treat and we were so sad to find out the business was sold (Feb 2024). We had high hopes the new owners would be able to carry the torch but sadly they have not. The past 2 weekends we have been in around 10am to find the smallest selection of donuts and no donut holes. I asked if there were any donut holes in the back or more being made and was told "No they are gone". What donut shop doesn't have regular glazed donut holes up until 1 hour of closing time?? Especially on a Saturday- explain that to a little one. Hopefully things will look up or we will be finding a new donut shop... read more

We love this family owned donut shop! They are so kind and the donuts and kolaches are always fresh and tasty. My very favorite are the cruffin donuts - they are sooo good, especially warmed up just slightly. They can also make special decorated donuts if you call them in advance - very, very cute and special. read more

Nice service, but I guess I have been spoiled by Stan's Donuts (LA & Chicago). Have tried a few donut shops but they are in the Dunkin Donuts category. So as far as taste, not terrible, but the quality is just not there. The prices are great, but I would rather drop a few dollars more and get the quality that I appreciate. Small quaint place your order and have a seat, but there is knot two tables and eight chairs. Don't let me discourage you from trying this place, but I give them credit for CREATIVITY with their donuts for children. I guess we will continue to chase a donut shop that can please and satisfy our donuts fix. read more

By far the best donuts I had in Texas. My parents own donut shops in Oklahoma and I never seemed to find one that was as par to my parents in Texas. But the 5am donuts have the fluffiest donuts and largest donut holes. Definitely my go-to donut shop now. I know how hard it is to run donut shops a lot of people don't know how very labor intensive and tiring making donuts are and especially for an elder couple. read more

Have to say the creme brulee donut was not great but everything else I have tried has been delicious. They are always well-stocked so I have never had to do without a favorite when we go in, no matter what time of morning.

I'm reserving the 5th star for a follow up visit or 2...these donuts and the service were a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Period. Fluffy, moist, soft, pillow donuts and so flavorful. This is a new place in the Austin Ranch area, and it's located right next to the crossfit place - that is hilarious to me, but I digress. The customer service was friendly and speedy. A+! read more

Best donuts in the morning hands down, unless u want weird flavors. On that now though, they do offer The CRONUT!!!!! My how my mouth started watering oh I need one now! What, u don't know what that is??? It's a croissant and hybrid baby. Get these freshly dunked in the glaze for a mind altering experience! I'm not kidding. I stopped by here once at 5 after 5am, and they made me four while I waited. I'd never tried them fresh before. Holy Toledo Batman! I'm in my car, trying to be all calm, eating this creation. Ohhhhhmmmm, be still my heart. Stay calm, Carey. Dang, I need one, gotta get some tomorrow morning. Ok, u get it. Try them, they're amaze balls. All of their other donuts are very good too. I liked the yeast content in the yeast donuts. They were fluffy and tangy. And my husband loves the cake donuts, he's partial to them. read more

Originally started going to this donut shop because it's conveniently close to where I live and boy am I glad!! Their glazed donuts are so soft it's like you're eating a cloud! If I had to choose between their original glazed donuts vs ANY other company, I'd chose them 10/10!! They also make different flavor cake donuts that are to die for! My favorite is the blueberry cake donut, sooo yummy! I once had my coworker try the cronut & he was hooked!! They also have the fillings in separate containers that way they're able to fill the donuts as you order rather than having them sit and risk the chance of them getting soggy. I've even tried their breakfast burritos and those are awesome too, I can't wait to try the croissant sandwiches! The staff is always so friendly, especially at 5:30 am when I'm still trying to wake up lol. Also thought I'd like to point out that I feel like I get the best price point here at 5am Donut!! I hope y'all come and try their donuts, they are AMAZING!! read more

This one caught our eye because their Earl Grey donut seemed to be a popular favorite, so we came specifically for that. When we arrived around 10 am, Earl Grey was already sold out. There were about 20 basic donuts left (glazed, cake, etc). Good problem to have for the owners.. Fortunately, the person working there, perhaps the owner, offered to make one just for us. It seemed like they already had plain donuts ready and just needed to dip one in the Earl Grey glaze, which is exactly what she did. We really appreciated the effort and kindness! $4 each. As for the taste, it was okay overall. The Earl Grey flavor came through, but the donut was extremely sweet--so sweet that it overpowered the tea flavor. I understand donuts are meant to be sweet, but this one crossed the line a bit. If they could tone down the sugar just a little, it would really let the flavor shine. Overall, we're glad we got to try it, and if we're ever back in the area, we might stop by again to sample other flavors.
