    Glazed with chocolate icing perfection.
    Amy D.

    I entered the room to a sea of my coworkers gladly abandoning any beginning of the year pressures to abstain from sweets as a table adorned with plain white rectangular boxes of became the central gathering place. Whispers could be heard, with everyone wanting to know WHERE these delicious donuts had come from. A work meeting had rarely started with such enthusiastic energy. "Max's Donut Shop," our team leader reported, and the volume in the room markedly increased with excitement and echoes of all the Max's fans exclaiming they *knew* it! I myself am generally pretty meh on donuts, but these are easily the best donuts I've had in Dallas, and I've had quite a few. The dough was fresh and chewy, the glazing was crisp, and the chocolate frosting was sweet and thick. Max's Donut Shop, you have positively perfected your art with your generously sized yummy rings. I'm sure I'll be back to explore other varieties. My coworker reported that the Friday morning service was fast and friendly. Definitely check out Max's when you get a hankering for an outstanding donut!

    Stopped by Max's for a quick bite to take to my upcoming nail appointment a few weeks ago and it was busy on a Saturday morning! I was in and out quickly and everything I tried (classic yeast donut, apple fritter, sausage roll) tasted great. Also enjoy the 5% off when paying in cash - I will definitely be earmarking this place for big breakfast catering orders in the future since it's close to my house and right on my drive to church on Sunday!

    They were super thin, and I have never seen them look like this. It's almost like some parts were almost burning on the donut.

    1.19.26: We have gone here for years. This morning I went and picked up a dozen glazed donuts and they tasted nothing like they used to. I called the business to see if they changed ownership. They said around four years. We have not been there, probably for at least two years. The glazed donut dough and the kolache does not taste anything like it used to. I will not return. Anyone else had this experience?

    Glad I got to visit this donut shop after reading all the other raving reviews. I got there a bit after 10AM and a lot of stuff was already sold out so that was disappointing. I still was able to get a few classics and one of their seasonal donuts, which was good. I like how their donuts are big and got good texture. If I am near, I definitely plan to visit again. The only downside I would say was the service. Their staff wasn't very friendly and just seemed quick to check everyone out.

    In Dallas you see a donut shop on every corner, and if you're like me you've been to many of them. And other than maybe a specialty donut, they're all pretty much the same, they all pretty much taste the same. Not so with Max's Donuts, in fact I debated whether to write this review because I don't want more people to find out about this donut shop. I'm a big fan of Krispy Kreme and this place has them beat hands down. The consistency and the moistness of their donuts is probably the best I've ever had, and I've had a lot of donuts. And most of their donuts are glazed, like the chocolate donut is basically a chocolate glazed donut, which is amazing. Be sure to get here early on weekends because they do sell out!

    This place was bustling to say the least! We ordered a dozen different donuts and a couple kolaches. The donuts were incredibly soft and delightful, despite a 20+ mins drive home. The kolaches were tasty and fluffy. I definitely understand what all the hype is about because these donuts were really top notch.

    See all

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

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

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

    Ask the Community - Max's Donut Shop

    Do they make one batch a day and once they sell out they sell out or do they make more?

    Not sure how many batches they make a day. However, yes once they are sold out for the day that's it. I had to experience that one weekend with a disappointed 7 year old.

    Do you guys sell maple donuts?

    You might've found out by now but yes

    Have the original donut makers returned back to Max's, after it went under new ownership? I was last there mid-February and the donuts were just not the same.

    No! This is the 3rd owner now and they SUCK. They do not follow the original procedures. Donuts are oblong, the bottoms are crusted with the left over glaze from the previous batch. These owners are LAZY!
