Everything was great, hot and fresh donuts and kolaches! Plus, it was all reasonably priced, I do not enjoy paying $1.25+ for a glazed donut at other places. Thanks! read more

This was our second visit here. The first time was in the afternoon and we had warm Donuts the first time-call me crazy but that just doesn't appeal to me. I don't understand all the five star reviews. These are good, BASIC donuts. Driving from Plano and waiting in line for 20 'minutes for a donut that's just ok? Nah. Don't see what all the fuss is about. Donut Kitchen in McKinney....now that place is worth the extra effort. Staff is friendly, basic selection, relatively cheap-3stars! read more

I can not believe the kolache recipe was changed.. they are now terrible, nothing like they used to be. Heartbroken.

Wife's sister and hubby were in town for New Years. On Saturday morning I asked if they'd like some Donuts before they left, yup, they did. Her hubby and I zipped over at 10:30, still a line of course. They were out of Cinnamon Rolls (my wife's fav) but we loaded up on regular glazed and chocolate covered glazed. BTW, even at this late morning hour, they were still bringing them out from the kitchen. 10 minutes later at mi casa, sis n law took a bite of a glazed and immediately flat out claimed they were the best she ever had (we knew that, having frequented Max's several times already). Her hubby equally impressed. FTR, this doesn't happen often! I'm rating Max's on my Donut Shop Scale so don't look at the 5* rating and presume Max's is as good as The Capital Grille or Del Friscos. But if those two served donuts it's highly unlikely they'd be better than Max's. Note, a shout out to the ladies working the counter. They work, literally, non stop all morning. Their tip jar seems to reflect Max's loyal customers' appreciation. 4 paragraphs on a donut shop? Yea, it's that good. read more

BEST Donut Shop in N.Dallas..Made the trek there this morning..omg it is so worth it..The options are endless!! As you enter the venue your senses are hit at all angles..bakers busy making yeast..people picking up orders at 5:30am there was a small line..moved fast and furious!!! All I can say kudos to this team of bakers for sticking to homemade..the donuts are huge fyi!!!! I'll be back next week!! read more

I was craving for donuts so I found Max's Donut Shop on Yelp which was highly rated. I ordered a bunch of donuts to try. My favorite are the Glazed Donuts which were big, fluffy and fresh. As for the other donuts, they were too sweet for my taste since it had frosting and filling on top of the sugary glaze. My taste buds can only handle a limited amount of sweetness. I will come back for the glazed donuts. BTW, you can find a line out the door on the weekends so this place is a hit among locals. read more

Simply the best. We were new to town & my neighbor saw me arrive back home with donuts from a random donut shop. He scoffed. He grew up in Allen and told me Max's in THE ONLY donut shop in town. He was right. I'm a chocolate guy but man, the glazed are just as good if not better. They are 1.5x the size of a normal donut and they melt in your mouth. It's worth the winding line on a Saturday morning. read more

Max's Donut Shop is by far the most underrated donut joint in the area. I've had many great donuts from all over the country. I've eaten at Bobs Donuts and Dynamo in San Francisco and they were just decent. I've also been to a few good shops in New York years back and Max's still crushes the competition. If you haven't tried the donuts here you are seriously missing out. The regular glazed and the chocolate glazed are super dank. The Double chocolate cake definitely needs a honorable mention as well. I'm still waiting to find a donut shop better than Max's, I just don't see that happening. I don't understand how this place hasn't landed some kind of honorable mention on any food blog/article. So what are you waiting for? Go out and try this place for yourself and be prepared to be in heaven after you take the first bite. Ps. The pigs in the blanket are super good here too. Don't forget to grab a few on the way out. Cheers! J.G read more

I'm 50 years old and I grew up eating Max's donuts. The original owners made my 12th and 13th birthday cake --- 38 years ago! I've lived in Dallas the last 10 years but I would occasionally get Max's donuts when I visit my parents in Allen on the weekend. I recently started a new job in Allen and I was so excited because I was going to be able to get Max's donuts every morning. Well, I can say without a doubt these are nowhere near the quality of the donuts I used to eat. The best part about the previous chocolate donuts is the fact that there was a ton of chocolate icing on them. Now it's barely drizzled on top of the donut. Did it change ownership? I don't know - but I've given it several tries and I am disgusted by these donuts. I can get better donuts at Quiktrip. Please bring back the delicious thick chocolate icing!!!! read more

Great people. Very great customer service as well as freshly made apple fritters, if you're up early.

Apple fritters are not good at all compared to how they tasted under previous ownership. Used to be the very best ever. Now dry, flat, tasteless. Bummer. All else seems very similar to previous owner quality. read more

I've been eating Max's donuts since 2005. They are the best donuts. They are fresh, warm, and just sweet enough. (But come early, the best donuts are the batch!) I have moved out of Allen, Tx but often return just for the famous donuts. I recommend this place to everyone. read more

Sooooo good. In town for a week and a friend recommendation led me here. Ate too many, but that's on me.

Their donuts are the best I've eaten in a long time. Mainly because I got them warm. Big difference. Highly recommended.

So, so good. Like melt-in-your-mouth, pastry perfection good. Max's donuts are so magical that when you mention them to other locals, people get a dreamy look on their face and say "oh yeah..." It'll be one of the best donuts you ever eat. Get there early before they sell out. Worth the long lines! read more

Oh my gosh! This place is good. My friends talked about this place a lot so I gave it a try one morning and loved it. I tried the grazed donut and donuts holes and both were delicious! The prices were that bad compared to other donuts places. I highly recommend this place. read more

Seriously the best donuts anywhere north of 635. Heck, I'd even say the best in the Metroplex. Max's is about a 20 minute drive from where I live and I make the trek here every other Saturday morning. Everything is good. EVERYTHING. The thing that sets Max's apart from all the other donut shops in the area is their dough. It comes to you slightly crisp on the outside while the inside is soft yet substantial. It just plain tastes good. They stay so busy, especially on weekends, that the donuts you get are probably minutes from the fryer/miracle donut machine. I usually get a maple glazed donut and a big jalapeno kolache. I've switched and gotten other things too, all tasty: the bearclaw, eclair(with actual bavarian cream in it), cinnamon rolls, apple fritters, old fashioned donuts, blueberry cake, etc, etc. When there is a morning meeting at work, my boss will ask me, very kindly, to bring "those damn good donuts from Allen." I work in North Dallas and live in West Plano but will make that trip, happily, any time. read more

Old school donut shop! They don't have anything fancy, but what they do have is excellent. We arrived around 10:30am and the donuts were fresh - they were putting up fresh donuts as we were waiting in line. Considering that they close at noon, I appreciate still having fresh donuts for those of us who come in late. The prices are also excellent! Highly recommend. read more

These donuts are hefty, delicate, and fresh. Don't expect uniformity and perfect looking donuts when you go to Max's. But there is no doubt that this donut shop is one of the best. If you want donuts come here. Before they sell out! Note for card users: the minimum purchase is $4.50, anything less than that .30 is added. But, with how amazing these donuts are hitting a minimum of $4.50 is not difficult! read more

This will forever be the best donut shop in Allen. My choir class always orders from here and I can never get enough. The donuts here are the softest and most savory donuts you will ever taste. If I could give this place more stars, I would. read more

Have been coming here for years, especially for the old fashioned donuts. Made the drive here from across town and to our amazement, they did not taste the same. There was no line, the front case had no donuts in it, and the old fashioned tastes like cleaning chemicals. Their glazed sprinkle tasted the same, but not the old fashioned. New ownership??? read more

Don't worry, line moves fast!! Fantastic doughnut shop- super fluffy yeast doughnuts. Cream doughnut had plenty of cream, while the glazed doughnut holes are delightful bites. Also tried the savory jalapeno roll, which was a hot dog wrapped in a great fluffy bread. They are only open in the mornings so be sure to not wait too long to get out of the house. read more

These are the best donuts I've had in my life! Duncan Donuts and Krispy Cream can't even compare! However, they WILL run out early. We arrived around 10am one Saturday and the line was out the door and down the sidewalk. They were selling the donuts as they were still making them and after about a 30 minute wait....our donuts were still warm and dripping with warm frosting. They pulled apart as we picked them up out of the box! Seriously, the best donuts ever. read more

I received an e-mail from my apartment complex stating that we had free donuts catered by Max's Donut Shop and that they were rated # 3 in DFW. YES they definitely are! I've always passed Max's Donut Shop driving to work but I never stopped by because donuts aren't really my first choice for breakfast. I'll definitely be stopping by soon! read more

Definitely something special about this spot. Not your typical donut shop. Don't get me wrong, it's your typical donut menu. But the dough and glaze is waaaaay better. New spot for sure. I recommend:glazed, chocolate dipped, and apple fritters read more

I guess in rural Arkansas where I was raised, donuts are generally high quality. So, when I moved to the DFW, where there is a donut shop in every corner, it came as a great surprise to me that the donuts were generally substandard. I had no idea that I was a "donut snob"! I started testing out every shop to see if anyone had donuts that tasted like the ones I'd had growing up. Then someone brought in donuts from Max's for a breakfast potluck at my workplace. I could tell that these were great donuts just from smelling them. One bite into a glazed donut, and I was 5 again! I immediately saved the address in my phone and won't go to any other place. I live in Plano, and probably pass up 5 or 6 other shops before I get to Max's, but it's worth the trip. Take a mixed dozen of glazed and chocolate covered donuts in to your office and see if you're not their favorite person ever! read more

The best donuts in town. They were worth the wait. They were absolutely delicious. If you haven't been here it's a must.

This place was decent but nothing amazing. I really like apple fritters and theirs were just alright. The donuts weren't very hot when I got them either. As always donuts are cheap so that is always a plus. Donuts are hard to mess up but I would rather just go to Shipley's. read more

Hands down the best donuts that I have ever had in the world. If you sit at the table in the corner by the cash register, you can actually watch the donuts get glazed like a homemade krispy Kreme!! read more

Max's Donut Shop - Best donuts ever - Donuts Near Me - Allen, Texas

I am not a big fan of fancy themed 10 dollar donuts. But you might as yourself just how good can a regular glazed donut be? Try a donut here and find out. The absolute best glazed donut you can find anywhere. Nice and warm, they just melt in your mouth. The closest I have ever had was a donut place in Lafayette, Louisiana called Meches. read more

This is my favorite donut shop in Allen. Always fresh, always friendly, and their donuts are something special. I think the chocolate donuts are my favorite, chocolate on top, glazed on bottom. DELIGHTFUL!!! Their pigs in blankets are yummy too!! I'm a 5:15 a.m. person so I'm always in and out pretty quikly, I hear they get lines later in the morning. Good stuff, give them a shot!!! read more

My coworker brought my department some and I must say this decadent donut gave me a true sugar rush... YUM!!!! Why do they have to be so good!!!!gahhhhhhhh! read more

The best! My kids didn't realize how lucky they were to have these donuts until they went off to college. Anytime they come back to town this is their first breakfast stop. read more

Awesome! Huge and delicous, We drive out of our way to eat these. If there's a line, it will move fast. We love chocolate glaze, glazed, cinnimon rolls and sausage rolls. read more

Some of the best kolache's I've ever had! Donuts are the bomb as well!!!!

I didn't expect the donuts to be great here, but I'm glad I was surprised. The donuts are tasty, fresh. and reasonably priced. I love their cake donuts (chocolate and blueberry especially). The creme filled donuts are also delicious, as are the bear claws and glazed. We have family in the area so when we visit, we always make a stop. I don't know if I would travel 15 miles out of my way to get donuts here, but if you're passing through Allen and see Max's, I would stop in and try one. The earlier you go, the fresher they are, and the better they are (as is found in any donut shop). read more

my favorite donuts since i was young. i've tried so many donuts growing up but maxs service and quality is a flavor and nostalgic experience for me read more

I have been going to max's donuts for years. I have tried other places here in Allen and no one can beat their tasty donuts and kolaches. I would recommend this place to everyone I know. There is a long line at times but it is so worth the wait! If you are visiting Allen, take a moment and stop by this place and pick up a donut and/or kolache! read more
