[[HIGHLIGHT]]cute store! very homey and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drove past it and actually turned around to try them. Wanted donuts and decided to do a stand alone store instead of franchise. Had glazed, maple and chocolate glazed/cake. All delicious! Price wasn't bad, good for size. The lady at the counter was sweet and nice. Wish I took a photo of the box but they were gone before I could. Will be back when in the area! read more

Was craving kolaches and found this place on Yelp. Since there is only one Kolache Factory in SA and it's clear across town we decided to give Instant Donuts a try. They offer a variety of sweet (right side of display case) and savory (left side of display case). I like how if you are craving a sausage, cheese and jalapeño you have the option to getting it in a croissant, jumbo kolache, biscuit, or taco. They also have ham & cheese as well as sausage only, sausage cheese, sausage egg & cheese, bacon egg & cheese and so forth. We were hoping the sausage was polish sausage, but tasted more like a hot dog with cheese & jalapeño. For the sweet side, they offer a decent variety of donuts (glazed, flavored, icings, etc). They also offer a wide selection of beverages such as fruit juices, sodas, teas, milk, energy drinks, and coffee. I kinda wished they had the jalapeño popper and sausage biscuits and gravy kolaches like at the Kolache Factory, but I can't complain too much. Service here was friendly and energetic. Would definitely come back! NOTE: Yelp hours are wrong. They close at 4 pm everyday. read more

Finally a mom and pop doughnut shop close by and tastes amazing!. This shop is in the shopping center next to the shell gas station. You can't miss it since you can see it from the street. Craving a doughnut so I thought I would finally try it out since I pass it all the time. Yummy yum yum!!...the doughnuts where super fresh! They have an awesome selection of doughnuts and breakfast sandwiches. Plus a great variety of bottle juices and coffee. I was in a rush, but will get a pic of the prices, but for two doughnuts and one big kolache I only paid $3 and change.

My husband and I moved to this side of town a year ago and were so happy we found this gem!! The donuts are amazing and they have delicious kolaches and croissant sandwiches that I order when I don't want something sweet. They do custom orders as well. I showed the owner a picture of some galaxy donuts I wanted for my birthday and she made the most beautiful batch the next day. I also love seeing the different holiday donuts. They even have some Santa shaped cookies that were very tasty too. This place is a must try if you haven't already! read more

My daughter and I have really enjoyed visiting here!! They are family run place and they could not be any nicer people! They always greet us with a smile and sometimes the husband will even come out of the back to say hi. Their donuts are fresh made, which you can see them making in the back. They have a huge display full of varieties of donuts with some Staples always being there (glazed, filled, long johns etc) and some that are changed out daily like today they had a chocolate glaze with M&Ms on top, a chocolate cake donut with chocolate glaze on top ECT What truly gives them the five stars, outside of their extremely friendly customer service, is there a big selection of kolaches, croissant sandwiches and other delicatessens that consists of egg / bacon/sausage ect. We have gone 4 days in a row, due to scheduling, everything always is fresh, colorful and well stocked. Again the big smiles on their faces when you walk in as well as their warm greeting put this place above others! Definitely worth a try. read more

I'm from Boston, so I had no idea what a kolache was, but I decided to try one. Seems to be a small spicy hot dog baked into a potato roll with cheese. Surprisingly good - the tool was excellent. Had 2 donuts, too, and they were very good and obviously made fresh. I had a little trouble finding it - look for the big sign on the building itself. read more

My husband and I were very impressed with Instant Donuts. We went on a Monday holiday around 9 or so and there was no wait at all. They had a good selection of sweets, though don't expect to see absolutely everything they have listed on the menu - I imagine it depends on the day and time you go. My husband got a maple bar and they offered to fill it with cream, which I had never seen before and thought was an awesome touch! We each got kolaches and I got a croissant (I'm not really a sweets person). The jumbo kolaches are ENORMOUS and the dough has to be the most perfect kolache dough I've ever had in my life. It was so light and fluffy that it almost dissolves in your mouth, which just a touch of sweetness to it. I'm a big fan of jalapeño and cheese kolaches and this one had the perfect ratio of fillings and the right amount of spice. Honestly, the jumbo ones probably a meal unto themselves... but I believe in my ability to consume calories, so I didn't stop there. The croissant was as light as the kolache dough, all of its flaky layers puffed up around the sausage and cheese with just a little bit of grease, making this a really interesting mesh of a fancy French baked good and a traditional southern breakfast food. And despite my affinity for the savory, the donut holes looked so cute and perfect and seemed too good to be true at 79 cents for half a dozen, so I took the bait. And man oh man, I am so glad I did - these are NOT your overly sweet, cakey donut holes, but yet another ode to lightness with a glaze that enhances the fried dough without overwhelming your palate with sugar. Instant Donuts is a little bit out of the way for me but I definitely plan to return. read more

We continued upstairs, and I could hardly breathe in the elevator it was so scented. When we got to the room it was also heavily fragranced. I tried to call the front desk, and the phone in the room didn't work reliably. Our call dropped several times. They offered box fans for us to air out the room. However, when we opened the windows, a blast of cigarette smoke wafted into the room because it is directly above their designated smoking area. We asked the front desk for help, and they said not to worry, hardly anyone smokes in that area. Meanwhile we watched several people out there smoking almost constantly. They offered no other accommodation or help. Not worth it. Very uncomfortable and upset because this will ruin our vacation. Edit: 1 to 3 stars. The manager eventually heard our concerns, responding to a secondary issue with cigar smoke in our room after leaving windows open - their recommendation- to air out the room. They found us a different accommodation and made it more than fair and comfortable. Why not 4 stars? Because it took the entire first day to be resolved.

We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different. Anyways still a great meal overall and we will be back!

Checked Yelp for dinner suggestions so Doc drove us to the paid lot next to where all the Cinderella lit up carriages drawn by horses were lined up. It seemed the boats going up and down the River portion of the Walk were busier. While we were walking I had my eyes open for a table with a view. We stopped at Four Brothers. The receptionist went over suggestions on the menu on her outdoor podium. Cornbread in the shape of Texas, shareable items like Dino ribs for $82, plus Pork Shank and ice tea completed our order. Everyone was very friendly. We had an exceptional view and we had more than enough food that we had to ask for take out boxes. My favorite was the Mac & cheese though I'm usually not a fan. This dish used cork screw shaped pasta and it was moist and not stuck together. I had to share a photo of it with Sweetie who is in Tokyo right now. Doc liked the pimento for the cornbread. As it was almost 9 pm we decided to pass on the boat ride but just walk on the other side with shops and more eateries. We're back on the road again tomorrow to Arizona.

Most of the steam buns are about $5.00 and are good for three bites. The bowls selection reminded me of ordering at Chipotle, but with an Asian flare. The high point was the service. We had a very attentive food runner that cared and was very nice.

As I said, everything was phenomenal. Unfortunately, there is one issue we cannot look past, although we have tried. The bagels are delicious, but they are the absolute wettest, slippery and slidey-est bagels I've ever had in my life. The meal is spent looking down and hoping my beloved or other guests don't see the schmear up to my nose. By the end, we are having to reconstruct our bagel, as it looks like roadkill on the table. It is not a user error, as we eat slowly and carefully. I even have friends who refuse to come back here because it was the messiest eating experience of their lives. It's so unbelievably messy. We have to rinse off in their bathroom before leaving. I have to take my rings off and put my hair up. It's a commitment, one we are not strong enough to make at this point. Delicious, but.... we must bid you farewell, Boss Bagel. Godspeed.

All things in my mind brought this down from a 5 star to a 4. Clean up the tables is definitely something the restaurant has control over. We sat down, and the acetone smell dissipated so either I was use to it or they turned down a shared ventilation system. The food though was the big surprise! It was excellent. We ordered the Special House Bun with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp and a crispy egg roll. The proportion of vermicelli noodles to fresh lettuce, carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts and peanuts provide d that perfect bite were one ingredient dominated the other. All the proteins were cooked perfectly. The real winner was the lemongrass Banh mi with once again perfectly proportioned ingredients. We also ordered the fresh spring roll, which never came but wasn't missed except that they did try to charge us for but did remove them. They definitely have some work to make this a comfortable dining experience but I wouldn't let it stop you from trying some phenomenal Vietnamese food.
