I think these are some of the best donuts in the North Texas area. Their selection, plus the quality puts them over the top for me! I cannot get over the size of their cinnamon rolls. Literally the size of a plate. I most like their Sausage Rolls. The quality is excellent, and the balance between bread and sausage is right! I also like the fact that they don't sweeten the bread excessively. That is a huge problem with many other places. Also the bread is a real textured bread, and not some funky rolled pastry around the sausage. I am a big lover of Apple Fritters, and these are some of the best I've ever had. My Dr. told me to stay away from this place, but it is too good! What he doesn't know......Dang Blood tests! read more

I giggle at some of the reviews complaining about closing early. They close when they run out of donuts, which they do because they are truly the best around! read more

My husband came home from work one Friday and said we needed to try another donut shop.I said that was the last thing we needed to do. However, I still went with him to Max's Donuts in Allen, Texas. The signs were pretty clear that this was a popular donut shop. Not since I lived in England and purchased the occasional Krispy Kreme at Harrods have I ever seen such a long and windy queue. People waited outside. And this is no small shop either. Even with our early(ish) arrival, the stock had been picked over. It was easy to understand why - customer after customer were buying boxfuls of donut-y goodness. The reason for our visit was a single glazed donut that Kelly swore was the closest Krispy Kreme-like donut he'd ever eaten (a coworker had brought some to the office the day before): Our donut came right off the glazing line - just like a Krispy Kreme. That was a good start. The donut was tender, flaky, lightly glazed and slightly crispy. Delicious! Because we drove all that way, we also tried their sausage rolls. The jalapeno sausage roll was ok. But not as good as our favorite local shop in Plano, Sonny's. The same was true of their standard sausage roll. The cinnamon roll was outrageously huge - as in, the size of a bread plate. Good, but (you guessed it) not as good as Sonny's. So will we go back to Max's? Probably - but probably only when we want a Krispy Kreme type of glazed donut. It's definitely a tasty donut shop, but for everything other than the standard glazed we have a great local shop that is better. If Sonny's didn't exist, I might feel differently! read more

Okay seriously!!!! BEST donuts I've ever had! I read the amazing reviews on this place and had to give it a try. I came in very early (5:15am) so my donuts were fresh and warm. They keep their donuts here basic for a reason. No they don't have donuts that look like the Cookie Monster but they also don't have sub par donuts that are overpriced. These donuts were a big, fluffy, and sweet :) The lady that helped me was very nice. The prices are unbeatable and I have never had a donut this good....until today. Get a cinnamon roll and heat it up even more at home....WOW. I usually only crave donuts about 3 times a year, but this place might change that :) read more

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

I had heard about this place from many friends so even though it is a bit out of the way, I swung by here on morning to see for myself. The interior feels like an old-timey small time shop where regulars hang out. I arrived at 6am and there was already a guy with his coffee, crushing a donut. There was only one person ahead of me in line, but by the time I was done, there was abour 5 more behind me. I must have beat the rush. They don't fancy it up here too much, but the basics are all you need. I got some chocolate and regular glazed donuts. The prices are so cheap and you can smell, see, and hear them cranking them out in the back. It was oh so soft and gooey and area decent size. They take credit cards and the parking is easy in this strip mall where nothing else is open at this time. Not sure about other times of day. read more

Bar none the BEST doughnut shop in DFW and I am a HUGE doughnut fanatic. You name another doughnut place in DFW, I have most likely been there. Max's takes all the basics and PERFECTS them. The doughnut holes are warm, soft, pillowy and sweetened just right and are a hit every Sunday morning with my nieces. They are essentially doughnut clouds (as described by my brother in law lol). I think one of the things that stick out to me the most are the lines for Max's. I come in around 9 or 10 am on a Sunday and there's always 25 people at least in line. Hype is real with the citizens of Allen and rightfully justified. Doughnuts are meant to be simple and FRESH. Give them a try you will not be disappointed!! read more

Max's Donut Shop - Donut holes and beefy smokey's are the best!! You won't find donuts more fresh and warm than here! - Donuts Near Me - Allen, Texas

These donuts are the best! Glazed, filled, old fashioned, apple fritters, they are all truly amazing.

THE BEST donuts in Collin County! The line is out the door on weekends so it's best to go during the week

Finally reviewing this place. I grew up in Allen so this place has a huge space in my heart (aka stomach) - their donuts are your normal donuts (glazed, chocolate, sprinkles, apple fritter, blueberry cake, kolaches, etc), but what sets them apart is the soft/airy texture yet you know it's calorically loaded with how dense the donut is. There is ALMOST always a line, and I've only been once where they sell out. Delish! a must go it you are in this area or will drive to it read more

Best donuts in town!! Something about it just sets it apart from the others. It's nothing fancy, just the classic simple donuts. I think it's the texture, soft and airy and not overly glazed and sweet. My favorite are the donut holes. It's soo addictive, I always have to hold myself back from swallowing a whole dozen of them. I went at 11 am the other day and they were sold out of most of everything, including the donut holes. So go early but expect a line out the door! It moves pretty quickly though. read more

This shop is very popular for a good reason! Their donuts are big and the recipe for their dough elevates the taste above other local spots. I'm fairly certain I'd be able to pick out a Max's donut compared to all the other small donut shops. There's currently nowhere to sit inside but that's ok! Don't be discouraged by long lines because it moves fast as the workers behind the desk are efficient with getting orders. Can't recommend Max's enough! read more

The absolute BEST donut shop that I have been to in DFW! These donuts are heavy, but yet light and fluffy, You won't understand what I'm trying to describe until you actually have one and experience the goodness! The traditional glazed donut is my favorite!!! read more

Don't ask any questions.. just go. You know a donut shop means serious business when they double dip their chocolate donuts in glaze and then chocolate. *Drool* so fluffy and flaky. I do wish they would fill the maple eclairs with cream if requested. Their sausage rolls are pretty darn good too! read more

My mom says her school claims this is the best donut shop so I had to verify with my stomach. We pull up and it looks like any other average donut shop from the outside. Walking in, I immediately smell this incredible smell. The one where you immediately know this place is legit. The line was to the door. We waited like 5 mins, ordered, and paid. I bought a cream filled and maple donut. No picture of the maple donut because it's already in my stomach. But I managed the cream! It's so amazing! Flavor is great and the glaze is amazing! Stomach verified! read more

Best donuts I have ever had! Hands down! Trust me and try their chocolate donut. So good I wanted to cry!

So..... I am torn. I have told hundreds of people about Max's, and they have never disappointed. The last time I was here, I didn't see any of the familiar faces, and it turns out they sold the place. Same recipes, same ingredients. Tried them, and they seemed the same. Fast forward a few months.... I decide to to treat mom, the family, people at RaceTrac...... so it's time for Max's. I get up an hour later than expected.... oh no. Now it'll be 6:30 by the time I get there. Aarrrgggghhhhh, I'll have to stand in the dreaded long line. I arrive, and to my surprise, just one guy in the place, leaving.... Huh??? Have I entered the twilight zone? Is it actually 4:30, not 6:30? No line...... score. I am feeling lucky. Place my order, put one Jalepeño sausage on the side. Heat it in the bag with a wet napkin for 16 seconds...... can't wait. I take it out.... the bread is hard.....I'm baffled. Notmally soft, steaming, smelling delicious. Oh well.... must have over-nuked it. No biggie. 1st bite......? Different texture and flavor to the bread, and holy cow is the sausage spicy. Get about half way done..... the texture has gotten worse, the sausage spicier, and there's an orangish yellow in the inside of the roll. I can't say for sure if the bread has changed..... but it was definitely not fresh. At least a day old. The grease soaked into the bread, alomg with the 'hardness". Oh well. At least there's those little bites of heaven. Get home, grab the glazed doughnut to put it on the plate to warm (9 seconds on the small glass plate), and WTF? This doughnut feels like it has some lead weights inside. Seems about 1/2 pound or more..????? More than double the weight of the old ones. I warm it up, and it is doughy, thick, and almost tastes undercooked. Gone is the flaky, delicious, spectacular consistency and flavor I'm accustomed to. I'm truly hoping it's a bad morning, but after reading some reviews.... I'm guessing this has become the norm. Guys.... change it back, or sell it back to the old owners. Please..Please..Please Now I know WHY there's no line. Compared to the Old Max's, this is less than 1 star. Compared to others in the area, maybe a 3 I always look on the bright side..... I'll never wake up at 4am, craving that heaven that once was Max's donuts. Good for the diet. read more

This is by far my favorite donut shop. The service is great. The donuts are fluffy, fresh, and perfectly iced. Amazing!

I was a customer for years, but until they change the current personal or at least have them wear hair nets I won't go back. I don't want hair in my food. read more

Probably the best I have ever tasted! Sinfully delicious! Bought a few dozens for Teacher appreciation week. Everyone loves it! Just one request, please make more donuts and extend your operating hours. It sometimes sucks to be there 30mins before closing and everything is gone. read more

Yes! Best donuts in the Dallas area, especially north Dallas! What a breath of fresh air...it makes me ask my self, "what are the rest of the donut stores thinking, serving that crap!?" Anyone want a ring pop on thier donut!? At Max's Donut's it's all about the dough! Before eating donuts: My daughter ordered the strawberry donut, it had this sexy bend in the dough as the lady picked it out of the case. I looked around with a huge smile on my face and murmured, "are you freaking kidding me!" Right then and there I had decided to double my order as if I could take them all down one by one. After eating donuts: So delicious! So fresh! Oh and the lil' smokey kolaches where just as good as the donuts because the dough was thiers! Not pre-ordered and pre-made like the other kolaches in dallas. Thank you Max's Donut's, it took me 10 years of crappy Dallas donuts to find you. Keep up the good work! Also, the prices are great! Side note: I'm in pain...too many donuts! read more

Had to check out this 5 star mom and pop donut shop, and it is mouth-melting deliciousness. We arrived around 9:45a, and within 15 minutes, they had sold out of donuts that Saturday morning, leaving several disappointed customers (early bird totally gets the doughnut worm!). Luckily we had scored a big boxful of plump glazed doughnuts, doughnut holes and kolaches that only cost $10! The doughnuts here are yeasty perfection, but the glaze is very sweet, so hard to eat several in a row, but easy to take a break in between to really feast :). The kolaches here are wonderful - perfect ratio of sausage to roll, and the roll/bread is slightly sweet, soft and just terrific. My favorite kolache in the Plano/Allen area for sure! Max receives eager thumbs up from all my nieces and nephew! read more

Donuts are unbelievable, but make sure you arrive early or the sell out and don't make anymore.

First time trying this place. The line was to the door but it only took 5 minutes to get to the counter. I ordered a few glazed donuts. They came out warm and they were a good size. Prices are great. They do take credit card. I will recommend this place and will return. read more

Best donuts in town!!! Everyone I take here ends up loving their donuts too! They even taste great the next day!

When I came across Max's Donut Shop on Yelp, I was extremely skeptical to say the least. How can a small neighborhood donut place (not one of those pricier specialty shops) have well over 100 reviews and an almost perfect 5 star rating?? It made no sense. Well, it only didn't make sense at the time because I hadn't had one of their glorious donuts yet! I've tried a couple of different items from Max's, but the best thing they sell has got to be just their plain old glazed donuts and donut holes. I have no idea how they do it, but the donuts, especially when they're warm, have a slight crisp on the outside while being so pillowy soft on the inside. I'm not exaggerating when I say that they practically melt in your mouth. Their kolaches are also noteworthy as well; larger than most donut places and the breading is awesome. I saw a lot of people mentioning the gigantic cinnamon rolls they sell - while yes they are huge, I thought that it was just okay as it was lacking actual cinnamon flavor. Prices here are pretty freaking fantastic, especially when considering how much larger all of their items are compared to the average donut place. Last time we stopped by, we picked up two kolaches, two glazed donuts, a cinnamon roll, and apple fritter, and a dozen donut holes for under $9! read more

Believe the hype. As for me, I am one of those people who don't really care about donuts. I sometimes eat them only when I'm offered; I do not go out of my way to buy donuts. I thought donuts are all the same, especially from old school mom and pop shops. I came here around 6 AM only because I read that they serve kolaches. I ordered the Big Jalapeno and also decided to get a regular glazed donut for my dude. I took them both home and we sampled both items. The jalapeno kolache is pretty good, but gosh darn it... the glazed donut was amazing!!! It truly is different from other donut places. You can really taste the quality in this damn donut. It's so hard to describe why, but just know it is the best. Seriously the best donut I've had. And I'm not the only one. I tried getting a dozen of donuts the next day around 7:30 AM and there was literally a line around the door. Getting in line was going to make me late to work, so I decided to just go again the next morning. The main dude at the counter let us know that the wait time can be up to 45 minutes because of all the people that come in. Wow! Because of Max's, I crave donuts now. But only Max's Donuts. I love Max's Donuts! Never change, please. read more

whoever Max is plz open a donut shop in Denver CO. I would do anything for those donuts the chocolate iced one is to die for. So So So good! Plz Max!! read more

First off, portion sizes are huge! Not complaining! Thought I was going in for three donuts and ended up only getting two and finishing half of each. I can tell that time went into making these and there is a reason why they've got an award. Super friendly staff and really quick in and out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

There is not a better donut store, hands down. IYKYK... and if you haven't been there, you should go there.

This damn donuts are delicious and if you do not get there early they will sell out. I live in Addison and drive 20 minutes for these

I read in another review the donuts don't taste the same...I can confirm that....They do not. They are not soft and fluffy like they used to be..They are now more dense and not near as moist as they once were. Bumping my rating downward as we can get this type of donut almost anywhere. We stopped by Max's on yesterday and picked up a dozen glazed and 1/2 dozen chocolate covered donuts. I noticed the staff has changed and maybe this is the reason for the change. So sad to see this change. read more

Literally the best chocolate donut I've ever had! Staff is always friendly and the donuts are always fresh! Prices are very reasonable.

Oh my.... oh my goodness....THE. BEST. Cannot get better. Period. We are talking fluffy, melt in your mouth, fall on your behind, delicious. Other donuts will simply be a distant (never thought about again) memory. read more

Max's Donut Shop - Cinnamon Roll, Chocolate Eclair, and 2 chocolate glazed - Donuts Near Me - Allen, Texas

Love, love, love coming here for donuts! You don't even need to get any specialty donuts, just the regular glazed and chocolate glazed are amazing and very affordable. They're so warm and moist and huge!!! Krispy Kreme has nothing on Max's donuts. I get these usually for work and they're always wondering where they're from and they can't enough of them. It's always a line in the morning, but they're so quick and efficient that it doesn't take long to get serviced. There's nothing fancy about the inside and it's owned by a Korean family, I believe, but that focus is definitely where it's suppose to be and that's the DONUTS! I'm glad I'll be moving even closer to Max's because I don't think I could ever find any other donut place equivalent. read more

These donuts are super affordable! I first had them when a classmate of mine brought some to school to share with the class. These donuts are fresh, huge, melt in your mouth. I bought a dozen glazed donuts for myself and family and we truly enjoyed every bite. We will definitely be visiting again soon! Busy place, lots of customers, must say something for their taste & quality. Come and try for yourself. read more

I've lived in Allen my entire life and this place was an absolute staple in this town! The best donuts around but the shop is now under new ownership and nothing is the same! The smokies were the ones you have to warm up and the breading was hard, not like the buttery melt in your mouth ones from the previous owner. The classic glaze doesn't taste the same AT ALL and the blueberry cake donut tasted chemically. This is not the same Max's. They should honestly change the name. read more

Their donuts are yummy and huge but I found them to be too sweet. The 1st time I visited their shop(around 9:30am on a Saturday), the line wrapped around the space. I was prepared and had no problem waiting. The donuts were warm and melted in my mouth! I friggin loved it. I've tried them a couple more times in the morning. One time, they were just about sold out because it was a holiday. The other time, I didn't get them fresh and that's when I realised that the chocolate glazed donuts were glazed all around. It's too much for me. I also think they're too dense and really big. read more
