Walked in and the owner welcomed me. I looked at the small glass with a limited options. in. It wasn't clean and fully organized. Owner hovered over, not letting me take my time and ultimately left. I doubt I'll return. Or recommend. read more

Visiting in town for a wedding, needed a pick-me-up, and saw this gem tucked away. Was happy to see I caught the their last two breakfast tacos... very tasty. Grabbed some kolaches and assorted donuts to take with us and all were amazing. Great coffee as well. read more

We wont be back. It's not a very clean place. A layer of grey dust over most areas. If they are willing to let customers see that, I don't even want to think about the areas we cant see. I wonder why they have closed off the area that allows people to view the donut making process.... There are SO many donut shops in the area. Not worth taking the risk. read more

This is a great spot for quick, High quality, donuts. They also offer a variety of other breakfast options and drinks. I absolutely love the blueberry Donuts, and kolaches!! I am generally able to get in and out quickly, even in the mornings before work. That said, there can be a line just before 8:00 a.m. The inside is clean and sanitary. My only knock would be the coffee, which is drinkable but less than stellar. read more

BAD ATTITUDE, POOR HYGIENE!!! So I went this morning to pick up an order for Doordash. From the start, I could tell the woman working the counter didn't want to be there and hated her job. The order had a random assortment of donuts and she was walking around to fill the order. I wanted to check the order to make sure all donuts were there. I found one to be missing and she started getting irritated about having to fulfill the entire order, blaming the ordering system instead of her thoroughness. Furthermore, unlike all the other donuts where she used tongs, she proceeded to irritatingly grab the last donut with her bare dirty hands!!! There are plenty of other donut shops around. Go somewhere with better hygiene practices and better attitudes. Terrible service and disgusting practices. No thanks! read more

Let me start out by saying I don't even like donuts usually. This place temporarily changed my mind! The kolaches are to DIE for. We got the sausage and cheese, spinach and artichoke, and ham and cheese. They don't use hot dogs in their sausage and cheese like most places, they use actual sausage and it's soooo yummy. My boyfriend didn't like the spinach ones but I thought they were tasty. If you like the dip, you'll like them! The ham and cheese were the best though. My boyfriend got a raspberry filled donut and a glazed twist. He loves donuts and was super impressed with these! We are going to bring the kids back to pick out one of the fun flavors...they had Cookie Monster donuts, Elmo donuts, fruity pebble covered donuts, Oreo donuts, and cocoa puff donuts! read more

See all

I spent $8 on two pigs and one donut and threw them away. Gross There has to be something better than this!

Tired, sometimes stale donuts, home to many Texas Flies. Flop could use some mopping. Please avoid this establishment read more

Donut Hole - The Donut Hole is a hole - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Have been going here for over a decade, and I honestly believe these are the best doughnuts in the country. Staff is amazing.

We've been here multiple times and the donuts are amazing. Come earlier rather then later so you have more of an option! Otherwise this place is so tasty their donuts are fluffy and wonderful! read more

Amazing donuts and friendly service. This is my favorite donut shop in the Lakeway area

This is our go to donut shop. Always fresh donuts! I like the old fashioned and my husband always gets a variety. Good donut holes too

I have been to their Steiner Ranch location but was not sure where the original location was until today when I happened to pass by on the way to one of my accounts in Lakeway. I had planned on lunching at Two Hot Mammas a couple doors down but after I had an hour to think about it I decided to try some more of their Kolaches. Great decision because their savory Kolaches are amazing little sweet yeasty dough balls surrounding savory yumminess! I decided on a Ham & Cheese and Spinach & Artichoke Kolache and both were delicious. Nice cheap light lunch that I will be back for. I grew up with Czech Grandparents so trust me that I know my Kolaches and the Donut Hole's are awesome savory sweet yeast rolls! Their posted address did not include their web address it is www.lakewaydonuthole.com so you can check out all their yummies:) read more

Donut Hole - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Great first experience! Staff were very warm and friendly and eager to help. Donuts are fresh with lots of filling (my pet peeve when you bite in and there is a tiny dot and all bread) and chocolate tastes great. Safe Covid environment upheld...I will definitely be back! Thank you :) read more

Doughnuts are delicious. Fresh and soft. Kolache's Are on point too. A weekend fave for little man and I.

Really wanted to like this place, and I'm hoping they were just late getting in this morning because that would explain why they had very few fresh donuts. I had to take donuts from yesterday or "wait five minutes". They had no glazed donuts ready, but I was able to get a couple of the unfilled glazed that were ready. Things didn't get any better when we tried them at home. All were stale and dry, even the glazed ones, and the blueberry cake was burnt to the point that it was inedible. The staff seemed disorganized and not overly concerned about the lack of freshly made products. I'm not sure I'll be back, but if I am, I'll try for later in the day to ensure they're ready for customers. read more

Well considering I am on a two hour sugar high and still feel like I am about to barf from eating a half dozen donuts, I can attest that they are damn good. The Glazed Bovarian Cream, The Old Fashioned, The Blueberry cake, Mint Chocolate Chip, Apple Fritter, and Lemon Filled. All YUMMY! This is a great local donut place! GO! read more

I understand why people are inclined to have positive feelings toward "local" places, but let's dispense with the notion that the locally-owned, locally-run donut joint is somehow an endangered species in need of special protection. With perhaps the exception of hair salons, the local (etc.) donut shop is the ubiquitous entrepreneurial venture. With that said, this one is...just ok. The donuts themselves are not really a step above the nationwide chains - there is a Dunkin a couple miles up the road - and in some cases the donuts here are worse. Stick to the standards, especially glazed, and stay away from the cake donuts, which tend to run fairly dry. Kolaches are a relative bright spot, and if you happen to be in Central Texas from out of town, it's a bit of a regional specialty and the Donut Hole's are a decent representation - so worth a try. But for me, the really unforgivable characteristic of the Donut Hole is the available selection vs. the advertised selection. I have never, in fact, been able to walk into this establishment and successfully order a filled donut. I feel rather like John Cleese in the Cheese Shop sketch, waiting around for the Lake Travis High School sophomore running the front to tell me that he's been "deliberately wasting [my] time." It doesn't matter what hour I arrive or what day - this place simply doesn't make enough donuts. Either slim down the menu of what you're making or keep it in stock. It's pretty simple, and keeping donut inventory is something small-town donut shops in Texas have been doing successfully for a very, very long time. So if you must have a donut and you're in the area, you're not going to go very wrong here, but be prepared for, "Oh...we'll probably have some in a few minutes I guess, if you want to wait?" read more

Well they say they have Kolaches, but hey only have Klobansnikys (Pigs in a Blanket). They might want to change the name, kind of like calling a burrito at taco. #czechtexans #getitright read more

I support local businesses! though I hate to support my habit of donuts. BUT when I do, I go to the Donut Hole. There is something very welcoming about this place. It's usually packed in the mornings, but you can get in and out fairly quickly. The donut selection is a'plenty. They also have Kolache's if that's your thing. They have coffees, juices, milk, energy drinks, gatorade, tea...basically any sugary drink to get those donuts down. MMmmMMm....S-P-R-I-N-K-L-E-S.. read more

Whoever thought of candy on top of donuts is a genius and deserves the key to the city. My kids go nuts for this place! This place is booming with people on the weekends... It's a must try and if you have kids be ready for them to get hooked! read more

Donut Hole - Yummy yummy - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

The donuts deserve 10 stars! The service however is what takes a couple stars away ,several times I have had some rather grumpy help when I have gone in! So I would say get there get the goods at get home and enjoy! read more

The donuts at the Donut Hole are both inventive and delicious! I could never understand why people would ever order jelly donuts, for example, because they look disgusting. But when the Donut Hole slapped a thick layer of chocolate on the top and called it a "Chocolate Raspberry Donut", they opened my eyes to a new level of deliciousness. And eventual diabetes. read more

Donut Hole - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

I'm sick to death of going in this establishment and the music being so loud that I can't understand the server. We went in there a few weeks ago and my husband asked them to kindly turn down the music as he couldn't hear what she was asking us. Blank stare. Apparently she didn't hear what he was saying either!! The donuts and kolaches aren't that superior that I will ignore common courtesy just to grab breakfast here. I'll try one more time, but if the music is still loud, we will go elsewhere. I have changed my 2 stars to a 3 because after an email to the owner of this establishment about the loud music, he did contact me and apologize. But I will still try one more time and if the music is still loud, we will go somewhere else. read more

Went by there the other day to get my kolache on, and there was a huge line out the door, and 20 or so people chilling out outside. They just do it right. Nothing gimmicky. Good food and nice people, what a concept! read more

These donuts are awful.... dry and taste like they have been sitting out for days. Kolaches taste like hot dogs... will not be back....

I like this location. I like how they have a variety of doughnuts. I love the kolaches and the donut holes.

Fantastic selection. Great quality. Unique donuts. Great staff. Friendly atmosphere. Great coffee.

A great place to stop in the morning before work. It's not far off 620 and usually is very quick. They have pretty good coffee and a good price (also they have big coffee cups!) I usually stop in and grab a donut/kolache. They have a crazy selection of donuts for those who aren't just plain glazed donut people! read more

Delicious and decent sized donuts for the price!

Mediocre at best. The kolachies are very sub par, made with a nacho cheese and a Vienna sausage type meat. The donuts are better but dry and very powdery. The people who work there have no idea what they are doing sadly. Taking orders across from other people taking orders. It was a madhouse . read more

Nice local neighborhood donut shop. Lots of different kinds. Try the Smiley Face!

Love the coffee!!!! Sausage egg and cheese biscuit all over my face. Wiped it off w/bovarian cream.

Man there are serious haters in the world and especially on Yelp. This is a nice little local donut shop with great variety of munchies and coffee. I had Texas Pecan coffee and and loved the aroma. My cinnamon cake donut was crunchy and fresh and delicious. Get here early though as the selection thins out greatly after the morning rush. read more

I like to say I'm somewhat of a donut snob. I try donuts everywhere I go around the country. Amazing donuts in NYC and Chicago plus many more. I have to say these donuts are so incredible. They are full of deliciousness not just air. A great size! Not too sweet. If you go within the hour they are baked they are warm! Love it. I go every Sunday! read more

Prepare for long line on Saturday morning. Pretty decent donuts, price for a dozen wasn't too bad either.

Not much to say, Donuts are good, the kolaches are good. I will say 4 bucks for a ham and swiss on a croissant is a bit much. I think it was one piece of swiss and one piece of ham that was good but not great not worth 4 bucks when i go elsewhere and get more food. But over all I'll continue to come here. read more

Love coming to the donut hole in the morning to pick up some donuts and coffee. They have amazing donuts and the staff is so friendly and nice. They have so many options I never know which ones to pick in the morning. read more

WE ate at the donut hole in Lakeway Texas! Wow such a variety of donuts and kolaches! YUMMY....our family of 4 loved it!!!

The Donut Hole is a local business that has the most uniquely decorated donuts I've come across. My kids have been patronizing this place since we moved to Lakeway and they have their favorites, including the "Zebra," the "Morning After," and the "Pretty in Pink." I enjoy the more adult options of kolaches and egg/sausage sandwiches, and hey, I have to sneak a few donut holes or bites of donuts as well. When you go on a busy Saturday or Sunday AM, there will be a line, and your favorites may well be out of the display case by the time you get up to the front, but they will typically make them to order on the spot. It's a great little place. read more
