Despite them opening a little late, the staff was friendly and rushed a dozen donuts for me. I only wish I had time to get some coffee too. Our team loved the donuts and were impressed by the freshness and variety. read more

Babe's Doughnut & Coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

I don't know how I forgot about this place but I remembered today! So I returned with hubby and kids. Hubby and son got the Nashville hot biscuit with a side of honey. They loved it! My daughter had the sausage egg and cheese croissant and I had the bacon and egg croissant. Hubby got an old fashioned donut and a cinnamon roll to eat with his Carmel latte. He said that was his appetizer and desert. Everything was so good! You need to try it. The staff are nice and helpful and there are seats inside and out side of you want to enjoy it there. read more

This is a Mom and Pop donut store. I had the old fashioned AND an apple fritter. Both were delicious. The fritter was made the way fritters are supposed to be made, unlike an unnamed competitor's store on Hopkins. I will be returning after a pleasant first visit. read more

These donuts are SO GOOD! Apple fritters, old fashioned, were my choice. The location is in the heart of downtown San Marcos, and very easy to find. They have the freshest of donuts when they open. read more

This place is delicious! The breakfast sandwiches and bagels are so good. The doughnuts are also amazing I just wish they were a little bigger for the price. I've tried the blueberry matcha and Vietnamese coffee, and both were super good. The workers are always nice. read more

I have been craving a GOOD doughnut and this one hit the spot! It was soft with the perfect swirl of cinnamon sugar, all wrapped in a light doughnut glaze. Would 100% get it again! read more

This is my girlfriend and I's go to spot for breakfast anytime we are on the square. We always get the honey butter chicken biscuit with the strawberry lemonade matcha. I also love the fresh donuts they always have, they have such a wide variety to choose from. The ambiance is decent as well. However, some of the couches could use an upgrade. Furthermore, I found the service to be just okay. On one occasion, I was waiting longer than usual for my order and when I asked about the time, they said "oh wait what did you get?" And then already had my order ready but didn't call my name for some reason which was irritating. After that, another customer went up and asked a question to which they said "oh we're pretty busy, so your order is gonna take a while." I understand that places can get busy, but at least push to let the customer know that you are working on it and not shrug them off. read more

I stopped in based on all the positive reviews and this place didn't disappoint. Excellent cinnamon rolls, coffee, and breakfast sandwiches. Staff is fast and friendly. Chic ambiance. read more

This is a cute little spot across the street from a brunch place we were waiting for a table for. Ambience is cute and contemporary and the donuts all look delectable and the staff is kind. We ordered the fruity pebbles doughnut, the brown sugar, cinnamon latte, and the glazed cronut. Everything exceeded our expectations and they're probably one of the freshest donuts we've ever had. Will definitely be back next time we're in San Marcos. read more

Babe's is a great local joint for breakfast food and beverages. They have a wide array of donut & drink options, as well as other hot foods. I got a honey butter chicken biscuit which was very flavorful and a Mango Green Tea Lemonade. Both were delicious. It did take a little bit for us to get our items from when we ordered so might not be the best option for someone in a rush, but if you have time to sit, it's a great spot as the atmosphere is calm and friendly, and the staff is also very kind. read more

Lovely little local donut shop with a great ambiance. I really enjoyed their donut options and the place was very clean overall. All in all, a great little gaff! read more

I first discovered Babe's Doughnut & Coffee right after graduating from Texas State University, and it quickly became a favorite! Unfortunately, I only got to visit twice before moving back to Dallas, but every time I'm in San Marcos, I make it a point to stop by. This past graduation weekend, I had the chance to visit again and introduce my friends to this gem. I ordered my favorite, the Nashville Hot Chicken Biscuit, while they tried the Cinnamon Donut. Admittedly, my friends weren't fans of the biscuit, saying the chicken was too thick and the biscuit a bit dry--but I love it for those exact reasons! As for the Cinnamon Donut? Absolute perfection, and I'm not even a big donut person. It was too good that we had to come back and get another one before our trip ride back to Dallas. I also had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Kevin, who was so fun and kind. The service was friendly, and the vibe is super laidback. It's a small, cozy spot that feels welcoming every time. If I ever find myself in San Marcos again, you can bet I'll be stopping by for my go-to items. Highly recommend :-) read more

Customer service was amazing! The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich was delicious. It wasn't too hot and had great flavor! We will be back for the alone. The donuts were very fresh and tasted great. The Upside Down Iced Latte was perfect! 10/10 recommend! read more

Was in San Marcos for a football game and Babe's was recommended to us from bartender at Zelick's Icehouse down the street. The service was excellent and the 2 guys behind the counter were friendly and attentive. As it was late in the morning one of the guys gave us an assortment of doughnuts and pastries for free! The hot buttered chicken biscuit was fantastic and the donut holes were equally as well. Parking can be tight but we got lucky and found a spot right in front. All in all, a great experience! read more

Food - Their donuts are good, more cake like than glaze-y (not a word but you get it). The bowls were pretty big and everyone in my friend group seemed happy about them. The caramel latte was delicious and wasn't too sweet, which I liked. Service - Even though there was a line, they were making it move fast and they got every order right as well as efficiently. They were also kind. The ambiance was hip, chill, and great! read more

Amazing service and even better coffee!!! Very good pricing as well as a great environment for studying or chatting with friends. Really wish they had better hours though. :( closed on mondays and they close at 3pm it's a real bummer- I hate having to go to other coffee shops on the square when babes is closed :( read more

The donuts are good, I want to try them when they are fresh, can't really judge when you go in late but they were still tasty. It's a cute vibe inside and I like the option to sit in the window and watch the world go by. read more

Best Donuts in San Marcos Who doesn't love Breakfast foods? At Babe's in San Marcos enjoy a plethora of delicious eats such as Creative Donuts, Kolaches, Breakfast wraps, Breakfast bowls, Fried Chicken Honey Butter Biscuits, and Breakfast Croissants! I started coming here for a work event for Bumble, where we collaborated and made a tab! Babes is great with collabs and even custom made us donuts with our company branding! Since then i've tried a handful of items and will provide the scoop of each here: -Maple Bacon Donut: My absolute favorite donut here. This pastry has a perfect mix of sweet and salty- reminiscent of the traditional Maple pancakes and bacon- this donut is sure to wow anyone with a fun flavor palate! 10/10 -Bacon Egg and Cheese Croissant: Goey melted cheese with oven cooked bacon atop a flakey croissant makes this the best breakfast sammi in san mo! -Southwest Wrap: Think of it less like a wrap and more like a burrito. This thing is filled to the brim with meaty toppings- and the bell peppers add a nice flavor! Don't forget to ask for salsa with it! -The Upside Down: This is my favorite coffee at babes! If you love caramel like me you gotta give this one a try! it also comes with a yummy cold foam! for my sweet coffee lovers u gotta order this one next time u come! -Honey Butter Chicken biscuit: Arguably better than whataburgers honey chicken biscuit. Flakey homemade biscuits with crunch fried chicken LAWD JESUS. This is to die for!!! Overall, This coffee shop is conveniently located on the square in san mo, and has indoor seating at the sofa, or high top table.The staff are super helpful, and the vibe inside the shop is very earthy and rustic with modern flare. If your family is coming into town- take them here for a sweet or savory breakfast bite! read more

Babe's Doughnut & Coffee - Donuts coffee iced tea - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Our family visited Babes for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. I have gone all over the country trying lots of different kinds of donuts--some yeasty, some heavy, some potato (shoutout to Holy Donut in Portland ME), some overly sweet, some bland, some greasy etc. But I have NEVER had a donut as pillowy and airy as the one at Babes. It wasnt too sweet or even greasy. I have no idea how they do it, but it was what every donut should be and more. I ate a fruity pebbles one expecting sweet and heavy, but I could have eaten a few more and not felt like I was weighed down. They dont have a lot of choices, but even a simple donut hole will amaze. We also had the breakfast sandwiches on biscuits and croissants and those were really good too at a very reasonable price for size and quality which is scarce these days. And the Americano was great (2 shots for only $3 and change). The only cons are the tables were sticky and there isnt great signage so we walked past it twice. You must make this your next breakfast stop!! read more

The glazed donuts taste like your less than mediocre glazed donut.. my copassengers thought it was ok though. No complaints from them. The bear claw is phenomenal. The apples are tart and juicy, but covered in a blanket of cinnamon sugar. The oreo was softened by the glaze. Not so successful. Maple bacon donut was successful. The service was satisfactory--they forgot about us, but gave us a free donut, but later learned that they forgot to add that one to our order. Saved by the bear claw, but I wouldn't come back unless I was super motivated. read more

Babe's Doughnut & Coffee - Se - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

The barista/ clerk is rude and not friendly for being a coffee shop. The pastries/donuts are never ready at open time. Times of operation are inconvenient for working people. There is so much potential with this place... but if you like being spoken to rudely, have plenty of time to sit and wait; this is your place! read more

Although I did not try any of the food it smelled amazing and looked great. I had the drip coffee and they had the heavy cream I like to try and remain keto. Judging from the crowds they draw, it has to be good and a popular spot. read more

Ignore the coffee menu entirely, below subpar quality. However, the donuts and other bakery items are killer. I may note that the apple fritter could use more apples. Croissants are super solid. Service was good. The interior is groovy yet really warm. read more

Super sweet spot, the workers are all really pretty/handsome. and theyre fast too. Breakfast sandwiches taste great and the coffees !! it gets a little packed since its not too big but other than that its a great vibe innit read more

My wife's been "jonesing" for some Babe's donuts after reading about the place on a recent Impact magazine article. So much so that she was losing sleep thinking about it. I finally relented and we went there early Saturday morning on Easter weekend. We got there around 7:20 AM (they're supposed to open at 7:00 AM) and the lights weren't quite turned on. My wife had to walk over and she saw someone inside who told her their donuts weren't quite ready. Fine...we were going to order croissant sandwiches anyway and can wait on sweets. So we placed our orders for croissants with bacon, egg and cheese and a couple of regular coffees. Imagine our chagrin when our freshly made sandwiches were delivered and we were told coffee wasn't ready! What?!! Babe's Doughnuts and Coffee didn't have doughnuts nor coffee available! I was waiting to eat my sandwich until coffee was served...and waited...and waited. Finally, the lady behind the counter, perhaps sensing growing aggravation (I haven't had my coffee yet!) suggested cafe latte instead of coffee...and my wife readily agreed. The bacon, egg and cheese croissant sandwiches were warm and quite good. Flaky and fresh croissant with crispy bacon...nothing worse than biting into a non-crispy bacon and the entire bacon slice comes out. We also shared an apple fritter and it had a crispy exterior and not overly sweet. Taste-wise, this place garners at least 4 stars...but not having coffee (and donuts) available first thing is, in my humble opinion, an epic fail. Value isn't quite there either...the croissant sandwiches were $5.50 each. One of our go-to croissant sandwich places in Kyle charges $3.25 for sandwiches as good if not better than this. Breakfast for 2 came out to just under $19. read more

Pretty good! Have a nice and relaxed coffee shop vibe with some good selections. The veggie bowl was pretty good, but not amazing. It came with a fresh croissant. I also got a large, iced vanilla latte with almond milk. I was shocked, but the strength was good! I am a coffee snob and they're usually not strong enough. Only thing is, either there was too much flavor added or it didn't mix well. Verrry sweet. They do have some unusual coffee options on their menu. I had to try one of their yummy-looking donuts, so I opted for a kings cake one. Very good, but the cream cheese icing pretty much came off in the bag. Overall give this place a try! read more

I found Babe's to be more of a coffee house than doughnut shop- not a wide variety or display.

Really nice little breakfast place, way more then just plain ol' coffee and donuts. First things first, the coffee. We ordered an Iced Vietnam, an Upside Down, and a Midnight Mocha. The coffee is super smooth and not bitter at all. The Iced Vietnam was hands down the best and I struggled to not just drink it really fast! The Mocha was a perfect balance of coffee and chocolate. The chocolate is house made so bonus points there! The donuts, we got a Boston, a Maple Bacon, and an Apple Fritter. Successes all the way around! The donuts were just the tiniest bit greasy but still good. Also got a Nashville Hot Chicken Biscuit and a Philly Steak and Eggs wrap. The wrap was FULL of steak and really hot (temp). It was very very good. The Nashville was a good solid spice but it did seem a little dry, there wasn't any extra sauce or condiment of any kind. I personally thought price was good. We got everything for $35 exactly. Be aware, seating is limited but overall, we'll definitely be back! read more

rdered through DoorDash and was missing 4 donuts. They gave me 2 completely different donuts than my order. When I called and asked, the dude gave a half assed answer of "oh we ran out of one of them so we gave you 3 or 4 others." LOL. I got two donuts???? Attached pics of my order and then what was received. Overall, bad service, overly sweet and ordinary donuts. Not worth your time or money. read more

Wow, the donuts here are heavenly so light and fluffy. I had the bacon maple and it was delicious. Coffee was good, but not spectacular.
