This store, hands down, has the best cake donuts in Austin! They are SO soft and not at all greasy! The icing isn't heavy handed and doesn't flake off when you bite into the donut. It must be a proprietary recipe because they have zero competition! Please come here and try the cake donuts!

Aya E.

Ordered: Glazed Old Fashioned Donut (~$1.25) Blueberry Glaze Donut (~$1.25) Aya's take: Family-owned non-chain donut shops seem to be a dying breed so it's awesome to still see places like Donut 7. This is a no frills spot with everything from donuts to tacos to kolaches. Both the Glazed Old Fashioned Donut and Blueberry Glaze Donut tasted fresh, not overly sweet, and were great delicious treats to go with our coffees. If you're in the area and want some solid donuts, check out this Austin-born business!

Picked up donuts for some employees while in town and they were amazing!! great flavor and quality. Will come back,

Place is incredible. How America should be. Great fresh tasting donuts and coffee. Plus love the cream filled options. Prices are awesome. Service at all the locations I've been to are super friendly. This is the type of place you actually WANT to tip more than 25%. God Bless Donut 7.

A great little spot that offers anything you could want for a quick, easy, fun breakfast! From tacos to kolaches to donuts and sweets, drop in and order whatever you're in the mood for. Service was quick, easy, and friendly, and we walked in around 9am on a busy Saturday morning and were in and out in less than 10 mins. The croissant kolaches are so yummy! Unique and the perfect marriage of 2 of my favorite things. Flaky, soft, buttery croissant with savory sausage and cheese. The donuts were good. Your standard donut shop stop. The cinnamon roll donut was my favorite, as were the cake donuts!

Wendy C.

The staff were friendly and welcoming. No frills place quick bite or grab and go. Self service seatings. Good amount of donut varieties. Their donuts are cake like so if you like that, you will like them. I like them and liked that they're not too sweet. They are also not too big so can easily eat 2 or try 2 different flavors if you can't decide. We got a few kolache as well and they are delicious (balance of sweet and salty).

Best place for a quick pick me up. Great selection of breakfast goods but also lunch. We got three large jalapeño kolaches, dozen donut holes, two breakfast tacos, Bavarian creamed donut, and a coffee all for $21. GREAT pricing! Food was also delicious. Made fresh on the grill and microwaved as well. Coffee is good too. The service is fast and super friendly. The ambiance is fun, quick in and out for everyone.

May be one of the best Mexican steak tacos I've had. Flavors sing on your tongue. We came here for breakfast and ordered the chicken, beans, and cheese taco, a Mexican steak taco, glazed donut and maple donut. Donuts were decent, but those tacos were amazing.

Chocolate glazed, plain old fashioned, and chocolate frosted donuts.

Michael T.

This place satisfied a Sunday morning craving for donuts AND breakfast tacos! The donut selection was great compared to a popular local spot that was out of everything except creme filled oddities. The chocolate glazed, chocolate frosted, and plain old fashioned all hit the spot. The tacos were simple and delicious with great salsa. The location is convenient and in a shopping center with other popular businesses. It's a cute place to sit in or you can get takeout. It also has the friendliest, nicest staff. Highly recommend!

Michael B.

Had chorizo and egg taco and later a raspberry filled donut. All were delicious. I waited a while before eating the tacos and they were still hot due to how they wrapped them. First time trying them out and I'll be back

Alina N.

For such a popular place, I thought there'd be a line out the door but luckily no line on a sunny Sunday morning, but there weren't a ton of donuts left to choose from. I got the Apple fritter, blueberry, chocolate and chocolate sprinkles as well as two sausage, egg, cheese croissant. I would have gotten the one where they can fill it but they didn't have any normal fillings I like like custard or jam. Maybe I'll try it next time. All were delicious, fresh, thick and fluffy. The blueberry donut was my fav. I do wish the donuts were bigger but then again, they are a good size for not over eating. The croissants were so good too! Service was friendly and fast. They had no issues with me carrying my dog inside to order. I ate outside, I just wish there was more seating outside in case it's busy. I highly recommend and will be back!

Skippy confused why he's been kicked out.

This place was excellent for my little family on a Saturday morning. The ambiance is not going to blow your mind, but the food, donuts and coffee were perfect preparation for a big day at Zilker Park. I had a breakfast taco which was fine but the salsa made it excellent. Donuts were awesome. Coffee was great for us, as we seek carry-out cups. The workers were genuinely friendly and helpful.

I work very close to them and needed to get somewhere in and out quickly last week. Wow was I in the right place at the right time for going here!!!! The staff was quick the selection was abundant and the pricing was normal. The donut holes were probably the best at work for others who were trying to cut back during the holidays. The kolaches and biscuits were excellent and even the breakfast tacos made the coworkers happy. Thank you for your fast, direct service. That parking lot makes me a bit nervous,but that is not their fault. Happy holidays and I will be returning. Thank you all for being prompt and understanding my wierd impromptu order lol! read more

Just perfect. Walked in the door at 5am and I have to say, this is the best time of day to get kolaches and donuts. The kolaches are tender, and the meat tastes pretty good. The croissants around the other kolaches are bizzarely good... I want to live inside of one of these things. The donuts are unlike any donut I have ever had. Not too dense but not too airy, and super duper fresh. Definitely try a maple glazed. Service was super nice and the price was good. Across the board fantastic and definitely the best donuts in Austin. I will be back and you should be headed towards this place right now. read more

Decided to try this place out due to the rave reviews on the Migas breakfast tacos. Sadly it is very hard to find quality Migas breakfast tacos in North Austin. The tacos weren't bad but they definitely were not Mexican in any sort of way and a little skimpy on the fillings. Not what I expected based of pictures from other Yelpers. Instead of jalapeño they used bell pepper, onion and a little tomato. Also there was an extra charge for cheese which made each taco $2.50 but taste and portion wise just not worth the money. We also tried the jalapeño cheese kolaches and an old fashioned sour cream donut. The Kolaches were actually good, nice and fluffy with a bit of spicy-ness. The donuts were average and the rest I saw also looks about average. The owners were super sweet and the place was clean and had nice tables. My search for good Migas tacos continues. read more

Went today with my spouse after reading all the great reviews but, unfortunately, our experience was not that great. While the couple who run the place seem very nice and friendly the food was lacking. We tried the breakfast tacos and found them bland and overheated as if the food had been mircowaved. Normally, I would not complain about hot food but they were super heated - even untouchable. Also, the potatoes were undercooked and had a strange taste- almost as if they were cooked with a bit of chorizo for flavoring. The Carne Guisada was lacking in flavor, grey in color and did not have the normal gravy associated with Carne Guisada. In all fairness, we did not try the donuts and they could have been great but we couldn't quite stomach the thought of eating more bland food. read more

So I was searching for a word to describe this place and it doesn't exist - it should be something like "woohootastic". Ken and Young have owned this little Austin gem for over 20 years and they make everyone so welcome. The place has a long list of regulars - one of which is me. At the risk of losing my TX privileges I'm just going to go out there and say it - they have the best breakfast taco's in Austin - yep I said it - the best breakfast taco's in Austin are made by a 60+ year old S.Korean couple in a donut shop - only in Austin my friends - only in Austin.... Everyday they make at least 8 different kinds of donuts, taco's, and kolaches which they do very well. Oh and try the donut holes - hot fluffy goodness. One thing to note is that they open at around 6am and close at noon I think everyday except Sundays but I will check. If you go there around 10am you'll avoid the breakfast rush but they're usually very fast anyway. read more

This place was suggested to me by a friend who is a regular here. I took his suggestion and I tried it last month - February 2017. I keep going back to them almost every weekday. Its quite conveniently located near my office which is in the Domain area. I pick my breakfast tacos on my way to work. Fresh, tasty, inexpensive tacos. I can only talk about them as I am yet to try other items on the menu. I like their sausage & egg, bacon & egg and chicken fajitas. As its made fresh they take around 5 minutes to prepare, which is perfectly alright. I usually order via phone when I head to office.

Our walking food tour took us here as one of the many stops. We had the, "Gringa", which hilariously was named after a couple white girls who asked for flour tortillas for their tacos. At least that was the story I was told. They had a self serve sauce/salsa bar marked with different spice levels but honestly nothing was actually too spicy lol.

Highly recommend!

Came on a Saturday afternoon around the lunch hour rush. Although the wait for the food took…read moreawhile, it was worth it. It was a bit noisy so if you weren't near the counter, it was hard to hear them call your name. Fortunately, they do provide text notifications when you order at the counter. I didn't realize this was a smaller location so their menu was very limited compared to their Mueller restaurant. There was plenty of chairs/tables indoors and a few set outside. I would say there were 3 "main" areas of seating. The taco meats are all well seasoned and so much good flavor. I really enjoyed the chipotle-like sauce it came with. Unfortunately, the other 3 (not all pictured) were not for me because I can't handle spicy. LOVED: grilled chicken, grilled steak, al pastor, nice one juice MEH: grilled fish PASS: strawberry horchata agua frescas - maybe I should have ordered a different flavor but it tasted like Nesquik strawberry milk :(

I had the guava margarita - refreshing and yum - as well as the quesadilla (brisket) and chicken taco. Both were devoured. delicious. no notes. I would say the only thing that is keeping my rating in the 4.5 range is the smaller menu, some things were sold out, and got a little bad vibe from one of the workers when picking up my food. Other than that, food was solid. Outdoor area was nice. Would come back again!

We love torchys but why oh why does it take so long to get two predetermined tacos? But yeah the food was delicious. The rest of the customer experience was not. ETA: while I appreciate the response the link isnt clickable nor can you copypaste for some reason. I see a lot of reviews saying the service is slow so I feel like even if my complaint was seen by whomever that link is meant for isnt paying attention because the service there is and always has been slow. I think Torchys knows they have good food and that people like us will come back no matter how shitty the service is so they arent motivated to fix what seems to be a systemic problem.

I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk).

I ordered the Brussels sprouts, and while the flavor was good, they were a little softer than I would've preferred.

The server was kind enough to do split checks upon request. Everyone enjoyed their dishes, so the food is good overall. Our group was split into 2 tables, which is okay, but 1 table was served way before the other table, so some of our group was done eating by the time others got their food. That was the main challenge we had. Would have been great to serve everyone's food closer time-wise. Overall, good experience and I'd come back if staying at the hotel again.

Gordough's is one of those places that fully commits to indulgence. I was able to place my order online and schedule for pick up. The order was ready when I arrived. Parking was a bit challenging and the lot was full and they charge for parking. Service was quick, casual, just good energy and fast turnaround. I ordered my tried and true Miss Shortcake with their famous cake donut with cream cheese icing and fresh cut strawberries. The donut is so indulgent and was served warm with the most delectable flavor combinations. Tried the Son of a Peach with cream cheese icing, spiced peach filling, cake mix topping, cinnamon and sugar with honey butter. This one was a bit too overindulgent and sweet for my liking but was definitely worth a try. Portions are huge and can be shared as the donut is not as good warmed over.

Plus the pancake texture was great - crispy, fluffy and full of volume Orange blossom cortado was wild - I'm not a coffee person but this was done right. They use their in house orange syrup (probably orange peel and sugar like oleo saccharum). I got one to go too Chai was okay - they could balance out the earthy and spicy tones better The chilaquiles were absolutely delicious too - crispy enough to crunch in my mouth and yet soft enough from the salsa rojas (didn't get protein here). The poblano cheddar biscuits was the right amount of dry with flavor dust and moist on the inside. Don't even get me started on the homemade butter and jalapeno jam - I ate that up like there is no tomorrow Would get this and pancakes and orange cortada and poblano cheddar biscuits again. 10/10 coming back. Staff was friendly and vibes on the balcony was dope.

Sammie’s

Sammie's has been hyped up on social media for a long time and I gotta say it's still underrated! I will gladly have Sammie's take the Pepsi challenge against red sauce joints in NYC/NJ etc. In fact, I've told friends and family that I am going to take them to Sammie's when they visit from there. We just had such a fantastic experience - everything..the vibe..the red light fixtures and the color of the booths and the floor..the service - our server was great..loved their outfits..really had an old school little italy feel to it. The food was much better than I even anticipated - as a guy who grew up on NJ diner mozzarella sticks, I have a high bar for them and these were magnificent. And seriously...taking the "everything's bigger in Texas" slogan and applying them to mozzarella sticks?! top 10 achievements of the decade. The chicken parm was perfect - well seasoned, proper amount of crisp..the basil on top...the perfect browning of the cheese. Also the lasanga was excellent..and best part - the leftovers..took it home and the next two days put them in a small cast iron and re-heated them..and the magic was right there in my hill country kitchen! Lastly and certainly not least - the cannoli...just look at the photo below.. I'll say, yes, the place is pricey but you can really easily split these entrees and then it becomes cheaper than a jersey strip center Italian joint. I haven't stopped raving about Sammie's since I've been there, and I cannot wait to return, recommend it, and take friends and family that visit.

I've been a fan of…read moretheir food truck for years and they were always consistently excellent, so I couldn't wait to see what they would do with an expanded menu. There were so many new dishes that caught my eye, but I immediately gravitated toward the Creamy Crab Curry and it was absolutely the right choice. The curry was rich, creamy and packed with flavor while the fried soft-shell crab was perfectly cooked and added a great texture to the dish. Honestly, it's the kind of meal I could see myself ordering every week. My partner went with the Lost Recipe, which looked just as delicious. You can never really go wrong with fried chicken, and this version certainly didn't disappoint. The service was equally impressive. Our server was friendly, attentive and checked in regularly throughout the meal. She even brought us a complimentary crab pastry to try, which was a thoughtful touch and much appreciated. One thing to note this place gets busy, especially during lunch so plan accordingly. That said, the food and service are well worth it and the menu is reasonably priced. Kiin Di has successfully made the jump from food truck to full-service restaurant and it's definitely earned a spot on my regular rotation.
