Ohhh god, these glazed donuts are from the gods. My brain makes Homer Simpson sounds when I go in here. When they are hot they are even better. I want them so much! Sadly they close the store. I want them open 24/7. But then I guess they wouldn't always be so fresh and I'd end up not always making those Homer sounds... Do'oh. Oh well. However, do check their math, they did charge me for two jumbo Kolaches when I ordered and got two regular ones once. But that one star off moment is made up for by the fact I'd give them six stars based off the taste of those sweet sweet rings. Mmmmmhhhhh Do-oh-nuts!!!! read more

Heard about this place from a long time Galveston resident! Got there right when they opened and there were already people ahead of me. One woman told me she stops here every morning for breakfast. We had a fresh warm blueberry donut and a glazed one too. Even the coffee was smooth and they had liquid cream for the coffee! read more

Yes, I love sugar. And carbs. And when you combine them...there's just no hope. Was advised to drop my Shipley's and try this local haunt out. Yes, they have good donuts and cinnamon rolls. I don't really appreciate the crowd and line though. Meh. Also of note, I stood out like a sore thumb here. read more

Everything we tried was amazing. The sandwiches and the donuts. The staff was very friendly and helped us out with questions since it was our first time visiting. read more

Best glazed donut I've ever eaten. Period! Maybe it was the fact that it was so fresh that it was still warm but it was melt in your mouth delicious, ruining all other glazed donuts of the future. read more

The doughnuts are fresh and the service quick and friendly. The place is so busy but not so that you can't get in. The croissants are to die for and the kolochkis are amazing! Just a great all American doughnut shop!!! read more

Excellent, authentic local donuts. All types- buttermilk, , cake and regular ones - are delicious. Donuts are fluffy. Then, they melt in the mouth. The best donut place I've tried so far in the area. Apple fritters are divine too. If you just want to try how good they are, you need to buy two pieces. Because as we were driving away, and trying one apple fritter, we ran out and regretted that we did not get more. But we were lazy to drive back. read more

One otherwise boring Saturday morning my wife and I decided to find the best donut shop on Galveston Island. We purchased standard glazed donut holes from each establishment to compare. In my opinion Donut Palace is the best donut shop on the east side of the island and possibly the best overall (tied with Home Cut Donuts on Stewart Rd). My experience here was all positive; the staff was friendly even during a busy rush, and the donut holes were very fresh and perfectly glazed and textured. I also had a jalapeño cheese kolache that didn't disappoint. If you're on the east side and crave some donuts or kolaches then look no further then Donut Palace. read more

Really friendly people, good selection, a 'local' place. Unfortunately chocolate with sprinkles were distinctly rancid. This is 3rd place I've been to in Galveston that has had rancid donuts, maybe people here don't understand that donuts shouldn't taste like burned plastic? read more

Lots of people in a small shop. But fast services and friendly staff and delicious breakfast sandwich. read more

Excellent shop. Good food, fast and friendly service. Their Kolache's are really good.

This place is a little hole in the wall but we loved it! The service was quick and had so many options even at 10:00 am! We really enjoyed the croissant sandwiches (bacon and sausage). My nephew enjoyed the donut holes and sprinkled donut. I recommend for anyone needing a quick and tasty breakfast! read more

Awesome donuts and great atmosphere. Went here several times loved the place! Great nice people and donuts were on point! Highly recommended. The Kolaches are great too. This place has a great menu selection. I'd have to say this is a favorite in the neighborhood. read more

Very tasty! We went around 5am and got a dozen fresh and hot glazed just out of the oven. It was so good!

A long drive across town from our hotel but well worth the wait. Great selection and yummy food. Donuts were cheap and so good. I'd drive 45 min for them any time at Galveston. Kids got full and I spent less than $20. read more

Great selection of donuts, kolaches and breakfast sandwiches. We went in at 6am and the place was full of obvious regulars so you know that it's good. The service was friendly and the donuts were warm. My friend highly recommends the croissant sandwich and I recommend the place over a chain (looking at you, Shipley's) any day. They are right off Broadway and they open at 4am so go in to get a fresh kolache! read more

Donut Palace is the best place for donuts on the island. There is usually a line out the door in the mornings and for good reason. I love the apple fritters here because they have huge chunks of real apple instead of the corn syrup filling that shipley's uses. They have all the typical donut flavors along with kolaches and breakfast croissants. You can get everything you want here in the morning for under $3.00 I'd say its a good deal if your not counting your calories that day! read more

How does this place only have 12 reviews?! Possibly some of the best doughnuts I've had in Texas! I was there on a busy Sunday morning, line was coming out the door. The place was bustling, and the fresh doughnut smell permeated the entire area surrounding the place, including the very big parking lot which managed to be full too. I got there a little after 9:45, and they were already out of apple fritters, but still had plenty of other doughnuts. Plenty of variety of fluffy donuts, only one type of buttermilk doughnut from what I could tell in the casing, and lots of kolaches too. The fluffy doughnuts are super fluffy, and and a great amount of fresh crunching to the outside that you crave in fresh doughnuts. Their cake doughnuts were also not super dense either and not sugar-overloaded, just the right amount of sweetness to go along well with a good black coffee. It seems super local, and at first I thought they only took cash, but they definitely take credit card too. I've tried the Shipley in town too, and wasn't too impressed, this is definitely the place to go! read more

Donut Palace - Half dozen - Donuts Near Me - Galveston, Texas

This place, oh my gosh; where to start? What can I say about this place? Lived in Galveston 30 years out of my 31 years of existence. I'm gluten intolerant. So why on Earth do I care about this donut place right? Well, the gluten intolerance developed as I got older. So when I was a kid, and a teen, I loved this place. I have fond memories of their donuts. For some reason I've been craving them lately, but I can't do it. But.....try the chocolate iced donut. Best chocolate iced donut anywhere. Something about the chocolate on it is just different and delicious compared to other places. They take it to another level. Also, the Apple Fritter. Nothing like it anywhere else. Amazingly delicious. Only donut place I tried when I was younger that is different then this but just as good in it's own way is this placed called Dough Donuts in NYC. But Donut Palace is the best donut place on Galveston island for sure in my opinion. Again, this review was just written off a sudden craving and memories. But try them, you'll like it. read more

Nice selection of pastries, and good coffee. We arrived later in the day, so we did not have so much to choose from. The staff is friendly and the facility is kept clean. read more

My glazed donuts where warm and fresh. The coffee was not. Coffee was weak in flavor, almost like tea. Go for the donuts but bring your own coffee. Service was fast read more

BEST DONUT HOLES I've ever tried. Super cheap, local, and delicious. So glad I found this place, I recommend it to everyone.

We are on the island and decided to splurge for donuts this morning. Best decision made. I yelped local donut shops and this was top rated and I can see why. My son got the large sausage kolache that he really enjoyed. I picked my favorite apple fritter and let me tell you it did not disappoint, crispy outside, soft inside filled with Apple chunks and cinnamon. So good! We also got donut holes, glazed and a variety of mixed that my kids all said were great. We came in at 10:30 on a Tuesday, selection was plentiful and fresh, service was fast and friendly. We will be back. read more

Stopped here on a whim and was not disappointed! Delicious donuts and good prices. The maple old fashioned donuts were delightful!

Best donuts and kolaches on the island! Love to get the cherry fritters and sausage & egg croissants. Everything taste fresh.

Great snacks for a chilly Sunday morning. Good coffee and the service was excellent. Try the bear claws!

Holy buckets! Best apple fritters I've had, great breakfast sandwiches, fast friendly service!! No ambiance -it's not that kind of place; just unbelievably great donuts! read more

It's not going to blow you away with its quality but it does have tasty croissant sandwiches and burritos. The coffee is hit and miss. I like that it's a small family shop and it's in walking distance for me. read more

My favorite is the sausage and cheese croissant. Yummy. My other favorite is the apple fritter. Best ever. Wonderful place. Skip the other donut shops and head over here. read more

Best donuts in Galveston island. The donuts and kolaches are fresh, hot and delicious. The place is clean and the service is fast.

Based on the overwhelming positive reviews, my husband and I expected to find one of the best donuts in Galveston when we stopped by today. While the service was wonderful and all employees were friendly, the donuts were, sadly, disappointing. The blueberry cake donut was just okay (but nothing better than a sub-par Dunkin Donuts); however, every donut we tried with chocolate frosting had a chemical-like taste, almost like artificial sugar/sweet-n-low. read more

The donuts are good, but the kolaches are other-wordly. I lived 2 blocks from this place for 10 years, and I've got the pounds to prove it. Now I'm 15 miles away and still make the drive often. Get there before they stop baking the kolaches, around 9 or so, and you'll get them fresh from the oven, at the peak of their pigs-in-a-blanketness. Warning: if you buy 6, telling yourself you'll eat 2 and take the rest home, the bag will be empty as you guiltily throw it into your trash can when you park your car in your garage. Final note -- When I lived nearby, I'd often walk there, taking my 2 german shepherds along for the exercise. The aromas drove them crazy, and on one memorable occasion they mugged me on the way home, ripping the bags from my hand and tearing into the goodies. I don't blame them. Get there after 11 and you'll leave empty-handed. read more

The best donuts on the island! Fast and friendly service. The kolaches are absolutley delicious; they melt in your mouth. Donuts were fresh and super soft. I wish we had a Donut Palace in Miami -_- read more

OFF THE CHAIN! Went for my first time this past weekend. My boyfriend grew up in Galveston and has talked about this place. We got the sausage egg and cheese criossant and a dozen glazed donuts! Its now days later and I'm still thinking about the food. Do yourself a favor and make the trip! read more

This may be the best place I've ever stopped for donuts. We went while on vacation in Galveston on a Sunday morning around 10am and this place was hopping. There were a lot of people coming or going to church because they were all dressed up. I mentioned to a elderly lady while u waited in line that "this must be the place to be" and she kindly said worship was the place to be before the Donut Palace. I smiled and agreed with her. These donuts were heavenly though indeed! They were quick (patient and kind too) even with the line so don't let it change your mind. We got a a nice sampling of the case. The glazed, donuts holes, apple fritter, cake with sprinkle, one of those sausage buns with cheese and all were so good and so fresh. They were selling so many glazed they just left them in the back counter to grab that kind (the tray was replaced twice while I was in line. I by far the absolute best apple fritter I've ever had in 45 years of living. Big chunks of Apple, cinnamon and a perfect crunchy crust on the outside yet soft on the inside..delicious! I'm so glad this isn't my neighborhood donut shop!! I'd be in trouble. It's a must go to donut shop if in this area. read more

Best ever apple fritters and breakfast croissants EVER!!!! Shipley's aint got nothin on Donut Palace! The service here is also amazing and even though they are slammed every morning they serve you with a smile and FAST :) The only thing that would make this place better is if they had a drive through. I don't know why anyone is complaining about "the crowd"...I've never been bothered and they always open the door for me. I have never had a better apple fritter and breakfast croissant in my life and they are cheap too. This is probably one of the best "hole-in-the-wall" places in Galveston. My coworkers also love their kolaches. read more

Stopped in on our recent vacation to Galveston, and tried the fritters based on other Yelp reviews. They had good sized chunks of apples in them and were simply the best fritters I had ever had! My son had a delicious eclair, and his brother had a cinnamon roll - which was a challenge to eat, but well worth the effort. The simple glazed donuts were fresh and yummy as well. Agree there's no ambiance, but the woman who served us was perfectly attentive and polite. A great breakfast stop! read more

very good donuts. i did not try anything else. but there was a line out the door so that says something.
