I have been frequenting Gourdough's original food trailer on South 1st for a long time. I got a craving for one of their donuts and decided to make a trip. 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. If you're in the mood for dessert and not think about calorie count, then this is the place. read more

When in Austin TX this is a must try place.... Great service & our donuts were AMAZING!! We even told them they should open up a spot in San Diego, CA. * Mini Funky Monkey * Mini Naughty & Nice #DiningWithTheAndersons #Austin #TexasGoodies #Donuts #SweetTreats read more

This was probably my dozenth visit to Gourdough's, and it never disappoints. After a full day of drinking, it was exactly what we needed--big, indulgent, over-the-top donuts that hit the spot every time. We went all in (as usual) with a couple of their loaded creations--one piled high with fresh strawberries and crumb topping, and another with bananas and crispy bacon. Total sugar bomb perfection. Messy, rich, and absolutely worth it. At this point, it's a must-stop every time I'm in Austin. Whether it's your first visit or your dozenth, Gourdough's always delivers! read more

The service was great. We got the ODB and big e-z. ODB is a must try and the big e-z was very classic (if you are a plain doughnut lover). The reason we gave it a full five stars is because of their MINI option, which allows us to try more things with an affordable price, and not having the urge to finish the whole thing--cause the full size is huge. The only downside was...you gotta pay for the parking now?! There should be some kind of parking validation or something... read more

I truly can't put into words how much we loved Gourdough's. The only thing I'm more grateful for than the donuts themselves is that we tried it on the very first night of our four-day trip to Austin--because it gave us three more days to go back and work our way through as many flavors as our daily calorie limits would allow. If you saw our many pictures, you'd probably think we went a little overboard... and you'd be right. But every single donut was somehow even more mind-blowingly delicious than the last. Yes, they took about 10 minutes to come out--but that's because they're made fresh to order. And it shows. Each donut was perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside, and absolutely loaded with icings, fruits, and decadent spreads. Every bite felt indulgent in the best possible way--pure, sugary bliss. Parking was a bit tricky at first, but we learned that going later in the evening makes it much easier (and they're open until midnight, which is a huge plus). The outdoor seating area has such a fun vibe, and we loved the playful donut-themed decor. It's the kind of spot that feels just as sweet as the treats themselves. read more

This place is a fat boy's dream! The lady friend and I stopped in one morning as we were passing through Austin. I did no recon work before I came so I overordered not knowing what to expect. I ordered a Mother Clucker and a Granny's Pie for me and a Heavenly Hash for the lady friend. Then we waited. These are made to order doughnuts! Woah! The Mother Clucker was huge! There was so much fried chicken on top of the doughnut that I thought I had sweet and sour chicken from a Chinese restaurant. I looked in the bag to make sure there wasn't a container of orange color sauce in there. There was a honey drizzle over it all and it sat on top of the doughnut. Even though it was large, the dish was rather boring. Maybe they needed a dipping sauce for the chicken strips. Granny's Pie was delicious. It was a doughnut with bananas, cream cheese icing, caramel, pecans and crushed graham crackers. The lady friend's Heavenly Hash looked great, but I was too busy trying to hydrate in order to not into go a diabetic coma. I don't know how I drove a car after this. I'm glad there aren't breathalyzers for sugar rushes, I would have gone straight to jail! This is not a breakfast food. This is a dessert shop. I am glad I don't live close to where I live, or I'd be even fatter. read more

Stopped In while visiting Austin. Love the feel with the cute vibes from the plentiful of seating. We chose the McGourdough sandwich and smashing pumpkin. I thought the price was a bit high for the sandwich but then it showed up. Sandwiched between two fresh doughnuts is a massive amount of egg and sausage. I'd def recommend. I had the smashing pumpkin mini. No idea how someone can finish that much sweetness in a full size. The mini was the perfect amount. The iced chai was very tastifully done also. The service was quick and easy on a Sunday morning. Plenty of seating as mentioned. read more

I was intrigued when I saw a sign for CBD coffee and decided to give it a try, but unfortunately it wasn't a good experience. I paid an extra $5 to add CBD and completely regretted it. I'm not sure if it was the coffee itself or the CBD addition, but the drink was thick, overly sweet, and honestly unpleasant. I planned to share it with a friend, and between four of us tasting it, we all agreed it was just bad coffee. The person taking my order didn't seem to know what was in the drinks, which made me hesitant, but I went ahead and trusted it anyway. While ordering, I also noticed the work area behind the counter looked extremely messy possibly due to a rush, but there was only one person working at the time. Even the coffee cup itself looked dirty, with visible fingerprints on the lid, which was off-putting. I didn't try the donuts, so this review is strictly based on the coffee. The setup and aesthetic are cute, but unfortunately that was the only positive takeaway for me. read more

Gourdoigh's has been around for a while and for good reason. It's incredibly decadent and actually quite justified in their prices. I love sweets and am a big eater, but the doughnuts are so big I can never finish 1 in a single sitting or even by myself. That's it --that's "the bad" --too much of a good thing. A great place to go with a group of people. This is one of those places that's got good food AND is primed for social media. Fresh and delicious. read more

Gourdough's donuts are extravagant and have generous portions with all kinds of toppings! They serve both sweet and savory donuts to satisfy everyone. You can also pair them with hot or cold coffee too. I got The Freebird, which has cream cheese icing, cheesecake filling, graham cracker crumbles, and topped with fresh strawberries and blackberries. It was made-to-order, so the donut was still warm and fluffy. The filling and icing were so creamy and decadent. The fresh berries help cut through the sweetness, making it more balanced. Their food truck is parked next to some trees, so you can sit on their outdoor furniture in the shade. It's great to enjoy when the weather is nice and there are patio umbrellas to help block the sun too. They had an inviting and welcoming atmosphere with a cute setup for pics. Service was good and the order came out pretty quick. What a treat! read more

Every time I come to Austin, this spot is a must-stop for me. Gordough's Donuts never disappoints, especially with my favorite, the Son of a Peach. If you love peach cobbler with cream cheese, this donut will absolutely hit the spot. The outdoor setup adds to the experience, with plenty of seating, good music, and laid-back vibes. I also love that they introduced a mini option, because the full-size donuts can be a lot to finish. Everything always tastes hot, fresh, and made to order. On top of that, the prices are reasonable, service is great, making it an easy place to keep coming back to. read more

I had the Mother Clucker with bacon and the bacon didn't add anything to it, I should've left it off. The chicken was great, the donut it was on top of wasn't that good, didn't seem very fresh. My husband had the Ron Burgundy which he enjoyed but then had to pull into a gas station on the way home cause he got an upset stomach. (Not a good look for a restaurant.). We also had the special pumpkin donut which was way too sweet and I like sweet things. Overall seemed to be just an okay meal. read more

One of our friends that lives in Texas recommended this place to us. It is definitely a one of a kind unique donut spot. There's a-lot of great donut flavors to choose from so we ended up ordering 4 minis and 1 regular size. The minis are a great size for one person & even to share. We ordered them to go since it was a little chilly that day but there is plenty of outside seating area for when the weather is nice. We started sampling some on our drive back & of course I forgot to snap some pictures but our top 3 favorites were the Nutty Valentine, Miss Shortcake & Heavenly Hash. read more

First off, the set up is cool. Its a trailer but they have a ton of outdoor sitting/doughnut garden where you can sit and enjoy. These things are not doughnuts, they are doughcakes ! They freshly fry and make all the doughnuts to order, and these things can feed 12. I got the peanut butter and jelly doughnut, filed with grape jelly, peanut butter icing, and pb chips. We came here after eating a huge BBQ lunch, so I was in the mood for something sweet, and boy was it sweet. Even though it was sweet, the doughnut pastry holds up to all the toppings and fillings, and I really have never had anything like it. Everything is truly bigger in TX! read more

There was one parking spot that opened upon my arrival on an early Sunday afternoon. Premium Parking was $2.42 for 15 minutes, which was just enough time to place and pick up my order. You have to listen closely to when your name is called, because they didn't announce my name a second time. It cost me about an extra five minutes, before I got a chance to ask for my order. From the specialty menu, I had the Nutty Valentine mini donut, and blown away by how good it was. I can't wait to come back for more. read more

Not 100% sure which item I got because I was hanging out with a friend and she ordered for me but the food was phenomenal! When we we're ordering the lady behind the counter was super friendly and answered all the questions with no problem whatsoever! I didn't catch your name but five stars for her. And they have good music playing with lots of little photo ops around while waiting for your items! read more

Gourdough's is such a fun and totally over-the-top spot for doughnuts in Austin. Everything I've tried has been wild and delicious, but my absolute favorite is the cherry donut holes (I can't remember the name, but they're SO good--warm, sweet, and just the right amount of tart). The service is always friendly and relaxed, and the food truck vibe fits right in with the whole Austin feel. It's a great place to bring out-of-town friends or just treat yourself when you're craving something extra indulgent. The only reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is the bathroom situation--it's either hard to find or not super clean/convenient, which isn't ideal if you're planning to hang out for a while. But overall, still one of my favorite dessert spots in town. read more

Stopped by late on a Friday night because I was craving a sweet treat on a cold night. My friend and I ordered three donuts: the smashing pumpkin, the dirty berry, and the funky monkey. We ordered all three in the mini size, which turned out to be a good idea. The minis were the size of a regular donut so I can't even imagine how large the regulars are. The donuts seemed to be made fresh when you order. There was no line, so we didn't have to wait too long for our dessert. Also, the seating area next to the trailer is cute and decorated with string lights. Out of the three donuts, I liked the funky monkey the best. The caramelized bananas were perfect. I wasn't as big of a fan of the other two donuts. The chocolate on the dirty berry tasted low quality. The smashing pumpkin was solid, but I've had much better pumpkin desserts in the city. Both donuts were overly sweet in my opinion. Overall, I would say the donuts were good but not great. read more

Great place to satisfy your sweet tooth if you're in Austin, Texas! Yummy and big donuts are served on the side of the road out of a trailer. The donuts are delicious but the wait is not. There was only one person working and he seemed overwhelmed with our order but we only ordered 3 donuts. They have plenty of outdoor seating and places with shade to cover you from that Texas sun. One downside is they have no bathroom. Across the way and near by is an outdoor BBQ and bar spot and I used the bathroom there while waiting for our donuts. Next time I visit I will preorder the donuts and eat them in an air conditioned car. read more

Donuts were just okay, nothing special. My chai latte was way too sweet to drink. The guy taking orders Saturday evening 12/27/25 was super rude when I approached the window as he called out an order for one of the customers Feels like another social media overhyped tourist spot with mediocre donuts. Glad we only got 2 mini ones read more

Gourdoughs is not only a MUST VISIT for out of towners, but totally can be a weekly regular spot, because of not only how delicious they are, but the vast varieties they have to cure that savory, sweet or "coffee" tooth! They seriously have some of the most decadent delicious treats out there!! I know for some of you indulging in donuts like this isn't always a regular thing, but they now offer MINI versions of the massive donuts you're already a fan of, which allows you to feel more "responsible" eating them AND allows you to try all the different varieties they have and of course justifies more regular visits hehe! PLUS they offer coffee and a couple savory items like their breakfast sandwich and Ron burgundy burger (super juicy, delicious with a quality angus patty), along with their mother clucker (fried chicken and donut) which is some of the BEST fried chicken out there!! The have conditioned their food truck spot to be super inviting with tables, umbrellas and "instaworthy" signage! It had been YEARS since we visited Gourdough's and are kicking ourselves in the butt that it had been so long! Don't let that be you! If you have never been or its been a minute, we HIGHLY encourage you to check them out again and try some of their new offerings or enjoy something you haven't had in a minute! Gourdoughs you rock and can't thank you enough sharing your calorie worthy donuts with Austin! read more

THE BIG: Located right off of South 1st street and West Monroe. Right across the street from Underdog wine bar. Pure outdoor seating food truck vibes with a big statue of a donut out front. Paid parking lot. THE BLACK AND WHITE: An Austin staple. If you're looking for a super sweet indulge, gordough's is your spot. They specialize in stuffed yeast based donuts. I typically get the Miss Shortcake, which has cream cheese icing with strawberries or the mother clucker, which is a play on sweet and savory. The fried chicken strips and honey butter on a donut is next level. To help ease the sugar rush, they do sell coffee for that nice complement. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall a Miss shortcake cake set us back around $8. Super big donut and very sweet. Definitely a must visit once. read more

Our first time here and we waited over 30 minutes for our donuts but maybe it was a one off situation, regardless it didn't bother us. I did notice people pulling up and grabbing and going so maybe ordering ahead online is just the way to do it. The staff was really nice! donuts were also really good. We got the blue balls and son of a peach, we got half sizes and so glad we did - it was A LOT for us to eat both donuts at half sizes. If I'm ever in town. I'd love to come back and try more! read more

You can smell the diabetes from a mile away of this food truck but it was so worth it. Large portion sizes, got two donuts between the six of us and were still full. Got the heavenly hash and son of a peach donut. The heavenly hash is very dense and I loved it more but you can definitely only take a few bites. Loved the acidity of the peach donut but could see it pairing better with another fruit like strawberries. read more

The donuts here are the bomb.com. Whenever im downtown in the morning this is a must stop place. The nutella donut with strawberries is my personal favorite but the blue balls are really tasty if you like blueberries. The outside seating is adorable and has a good amount of shade to escape the sun. The staff are friendly and quick to get out your order. It is a little pricey but honestly totally worth what your getting for these donuts. If you havent gone before id get the mini sizes of the items you want to try because they are perfect sample size! read more

Walk up service first time checking it out. The cashier wasn't feeling it that night! They have a really cute set up, unfortunately it was drizzling so the chairs and tables were wet. The Strawberry and Nutella donut was delicious and not expensive at all. Luckily, we walked since it was a short walk from our hotel.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am reporting to you, on National Donut Day (Also National Doughnut Day) from the trenches at Gordough's Donuts in the delicious city of Austin, Texas. I'm generally a fan of all doughnuts. I like the basic ones. I like the specialty ones you can get at the chain in downtown. The donuts at Gordough's are a step above all of these and among the best we've had in the world. We had the "Fat Elvis" as we knew we were only going to be able to try so much and wanted something with icing and were intrigued by the peanut butter flavor. We got it without bacon which our order taker said was basically a crime, but we're vegetarians so that was a crime we were willing to commit. It really was fantastic...HUGE too. We also tried what I think was the Naughty and Nice Donut...more basic in flavor with cinnamon and sugar - the one they say "started it all" for Gordoughs...again, a huge step up from the already pretty good but basic donuts you can get elsewhere. We're so glad we made a point of stopping at Gordough's on our brief visit to Austin. The treats here were unique and basically not something you can get anywhere else. It's all outside seating...although there was a line and people waiting our order came out pretty quickly. (Oh yeah, every single donut is made to order!) This is another one of this "If we lived near here it would be all over..." kind of establishments. We salute you Gordough's! read more

If you're visiting Austin and don't go to Gourdough's, what are you even doing? Gourdough's is a must have! The first time I had their doughnuts was in 2013. Recently stopped by again during a visit to Austin and it's STILL good! Loved the doughnuts and loved the locations. Plenty of seating under the shade to relax and enjoy. It takes a minute for your order to be ready but each doughnut is freshly made. The staff are also super friendly and accommodating. 10/10 recommend!! read more

A wild doughnut experience! This food truck offers some of the most creative, indulgent combos you'll find, though the price is a bit steep at $8 per doughnut. My group of three split the Dirty Berry-- topped with warm chocolate sauce, chocolate chips, and grilled strawberries. The perfect sweet treat. While the doughnut was delicious--crispy on the outside and decadent inside--the service was pretty slow. Be prepared for a bit of a wait, but if you're in the mood for an over-the-top dessert, it's definitely worth trying once. read more
