Best neighborhood donut place. My family owned a donut shop and bakery when I was a child so I'm kinda a donut and kolache snob and these are the real deal! My son loves the breakfast tacos and my mom loves the croissants. There is something for everyone. They are so friendly and kind. I'm so grateful that they are there every day offering delicious goodies for our community! read more

The service here is absolutely heart-warming. I leave feeling like I visited a family member. The donuts and kolaches were both absolutely mouth-watering. On par with Mrs. Johnson's, which is nearly blasphemous for me to type. Definitely worth a try! read more

This place is on point , ya'll!!! the best kolaches and donut holes in Austin. Supa Fresh! Nice, hard working folks/owners. Scary ass neighborhood, but worth the drive. Lock your car. :) read more

It's my friend's birthday today and this is his new favorite place, so I went for my first time to what we're calling "shhhhhhh...donuts." As in: Joe: Man, it's so hot, and they're pushing me really hard at work, and I don't know if my front tire is gonna come in before.... Bob: [handing Joe a box of fresh, sweet, delicious goodness] Shhhhhh....donuts. The owner is Vietnamese, so we talked about being Vietnamese and why don't I speak it, and how long has she been open (6 weeks) all as she put together this bouquet of donuty goodness. No tattoos, no hipsters, no fried chicken, just a damn fine donutery. $9.00 and about 20 donuts and a handful of donut holes later, I think my friend is gonna have a fine birthday. read more

Excellent service! We tried the blueberry cake and chocolate glazed donuts and they were perfect. The boudin kolache was really good as well. read more

We as a family can't say enough delicious things about this place. I don't think they ever sleep an for that we thank you especially being open 7 days a week. We will see y'all soon. Thanks for becoming an austin Texas staple for sure in our hood read more

The best donuts in town & the kindest staff! I drive out of my way just to have their fresh donuts & kolaches. I highly recommend the sausage & cheese kolaches! read more

Enjoyed the food and had been coming to this place for years usually getting it to go. Happen to eat there once and after finishing eating went to the bathroom. The owner started banging the door of the bathroom telling me to get out for no reason. Extremely unprofessional behavior and will not be coming back.They definitely don't want you to eat there or are welcome to use their bathrooms apparently. So if you eat there, get it to go. You're not welcome in their premises for longer after that read more

Um. The family run joint vibe is awesome, but the tacos are inedible and the donuts are just "good." Nothing WRONG with the place, but c'mon! Five stars? I don't get it. A-OK (plus really sweet service) MAYBE four stars, but even with the sweet people, still only manages three for me. read more

Sunday morning donut run! Having read the great reviews about SH Donuts, we saddled up the scooters and headed out. Since we had lunch plans, we initially took it easy. I ordered the last long John, my companion got an apple fritter and we shared a pig in a blanket kolacheese (no cheese). Washed it all down with some 2% milk. We sat inside and watched a steady stream of costumers come and go. The owners were so sweet, funny and friendly; it was fun to watch. Then, we decided that was not quite enough because it was pretty darn tasty, so I got another pig in a blanket and my companion got the cinnamon twist. Washed down with more milk. It was all good solid donut shop fare, yummy! The owners definitely add the fifth star. I love this place! "See you next week!" read more

Love them!! Some of the best kolaches and love the staff! Always super helpful and great donuts.

Best breakfast sandwiches and donuts on the upper east side! I go here at least once a week. The croissant breakfast sandwiches are delicious as are the light and delightful donuts. Yum!!! read more

Dang, these are good donuts!!! I feel stupid for driving all the way to Krispy Kreme last week when SH Donuts is local, in my neighborhood, and SO MUCH BETTER. I got the orange glazed just because I've never had an orange glazed donut before, and it is uniquely delish. The donut part is lightly crispy on the outside and fluffy and delicate on the inside, and not greasy. I'm in love. Don't miss out on the apple fritters! I got one of those, too and it's light and crispy with lots of apple bits. They are so good the dog is simultaneously crying and growling at me for another bite. I feel the same way! BONUS: The owner is so friendly and sweet she made me feel like a regular even though it was my first time in. For good donuts and good vibes, this is the place! read more

Got boudin kolache and a sausage/egg/jalepano kolache as well as a glazed donut. The donut dough is super soft!!! All the chains don't get nothing on this place. I got the boudin per other reviewers' recbut the egg/sausage/jap one was really really good. Next time I'm in Austin I'll definitely come back read more

I love S-H Donuts! They're my go to donut shop and it's consistently delicious. The owners are always friendly, the donuts are always fresh, and the kolaches are delicious. If you have a hankering for donuts, S-H is a cant miss pick read more

We are visiting Austin for the memorial weekend. Stopped by this place for breakfast. My son was having stomachache and threw up. The young owner (or owner's son?) was calm, asked if he was ok, gave us napkins, free bottle of water and some donut balls to cheer him up. Kudo to this young man and his family! Wish him all the success in the future. read more

Everything is fresh out the oven and warm. The best kolaches I've ever had. Iced coffee is SO good. A good place to grab and go or sit and enjoy breakfast with company. Such a nice family business, everyone is so kind! read more

Still the BOMB! They have come up with the Boudin Kolache and it certainly is not a disappointment. I can't seem to pass this one up. I have brought them in to the office and keep getting rave reviews from all that taste them. This one's definitely a keeper! As always, if you need quantity to go with their everyday quality, call ahead to make arrangements. They are always happy to help you bring their great stuff to your function. We have their food at birthdays, gatherings, dinner parties and yes, even a wedding! read more

S-H Donuts - Boudin Kolache - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is one of the hidden gems of donuts! They have some of the best kolache's I've ever had as well as donuts!! The service is top notch, the location I wish was better, but I am a repeat customer for life! read more

See all

This is one my favorite places in Austin, ever. The owners are the kindest, most genuine and hardworking people who constantly deliver fresh, delicious donuts and more. Every time I come they put a smile to my face and make me feel welcome. I like to order some original glazed and a couple breakfast tacos with my coffee... Next time you come here, or if it's your first time, have a seat and just admire the place. Pay attention to the interactions they have with their customers. Take your time, bring a book, enjoy the sweetness and simplicity of this place, the diversity in customers, the owners' joy in their work... if you expect fancy and extravagant donuts, you'll be disappointed. S-H Donuts is an absolute treasure. So much respect for this place. Highly recommended. read more

If I could give higher than five stars I would!! My boyfriend and I just tried this place out to satisfy a donut craving and man... it was better than I could have asked. Not only were the donuts delicious - soft, crispy, perfectly sweet - and the Thai iced coffee a dream, but the service was impeccable. She was so kind and friendly, and I will 1000% be back. :) read more

This shop has the freshest products -everyday! Everything she has is exceptional, everything taste great and the staff, all family and super friendly. S-H Donuts has been supplying breakfast for all of our church events every since she opened and not one time have we been disappointed or had any problems with her products or service. If you haven't tried S-H Donuts - you should and if you are a customer - like me, keep going back! Thanks S-H Donuts you are a credit to this neighborhood - we appreciate you! read more

I love this place. The couple who work (and own I imagine) the place make me feel like their my own personal donut people. They always remember me and welcome me with big smiles. I've had most of the things they cary and am always pleased with the quality and low cost. I often get a couple dozen for the office and those boxes are empty within two hours. This is a great addition to my eastside neighborhood. read more

like eating donuts they good. def recommend support their business. I usually get their donut holes and they're good.

Best kolache and donut place in town. Friendliest staff who makes you feel like a damn celebrity when you order. Old school classic vibe that i want from a donut shop. Unbeatable prices. Support S-H donuts! Boycott trendy hipster wannabe donut shops! read more

We are so happy they have come to Riverside. It was exactly what we needed. Donuts AND breakfast tacos were great, as well as customer service! It's our new weekly cheat stop. read more

S-H is a family owned and operated donut joint with some of the tastiest donuts, croissants, breakfast sandwiches, and kolaches in town! Very reasonably priced and always delicious. Don't be fooled by the building exterior or the neighborhood. read more

Absolutely amazing, light airy and fantastically fresh donuts. You can't go wrong with S-H. Thanks for an amazing donut. Can't wait to go back. read more

Awesome donuts and kolaches! There stuff was so good we detoured to have them twice while in Austin. Lovely family run business. Very eager to accommodate you. They automatically warm the kolaches when you order them. The sausage/cheese/jalapeno was mighty good. Go....you will love everything. We were in there at 5:30am and all the local cops were in enjoying the treats! read more

Holy crap this place is awesome. The apple fritter is to die for. Huge, crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, and chock full of apple goodness. Love it. Glazed donuts melt in your mouth, and the cake donuts are amazingly moist and delicious. For those of us who love savory morning treats...they make delicious kolaches, as well as croissant breakfast sandwiches which are amazing. The croissant is perfectly airy, and the bacon is crispy and copious. The couple who own and operate this place are extremely sweet and welcoming. It is great to go here early morning on the way to work and start the day with a genuine smile and delicious baked goods. read more

Delicious donuts and such friendly owners! Great prices, too Great selection of breakfast items and donuts read more

Yummy!!!! Is all I have to say. There is something about these donuts and kolaches that is so addicting and delicious. The owners are soooo very nice and wonderful. I haven't tried the breakfast tacos...I don't think that is their speciality. Oh but the ham and cheese crossaint kolaches and chocolate filled donuts with real chocolate pudding!!!! I can't get enough. Everytime any family comes in to visit, they all go to SH Donuts!! I promise it is one of the reasons why they drive in. Thank you SH donuts! So happy you are so close and yummy. read more

Great customer service and delicious!! donuts and breakfast items. Easy to grab-n-go or hang out and meet some interesting locals

How good is SH Donuts? Good enough for me to create a Yelp profile just to tell you about it. There are donut shops aplenty in Austin, but one this good is rare. SH takes some effort to find if you're not in East Austin. (And, I'm willing to bet, not many Yelp users are.) You have to know it's there, and be looking for it -- and then not be put off by the fact that it's a spare, undecorated converted gas station. If you aren't, rewards await. SH offers breakfast tacos, kolaches, coffee, milk, etc., etc. A decent selection. But the reason we come? THE DONUTS. I'll be up front and tell you I have no idea what they do different. None. But whatever it is -- is simply incredible. SH's donuts are light, exquisitely flavored (orange zest in a donut!), and delicious. Oh, and it's something like a half dozen (more than enough for two) for $3.25. What a deal. And the nice lady at the counter always throws in free donut holes. A word about the proprietors, by the way: they're a Cambodian immigrant couple with a 3-year old son who moved to Texas from California (and, of course, arrived in California from Cambodia) to start this business. The American dream. The Texas dream! Some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. When we've stayed to eat there, it's been a real pleasure chatting with them. And they make spectacular donuts. So yes, I have two donut places in Austin. If it's evening, I go to Gordough's. But if it's the morning and I want to start the day right, there's no place better than SH Donuts! read more

Donuts are light and pillowy with a subtle yeast flavor that indicates real quality. A perfect level of chewiness. These are far and away the best donuts in town. The owners clearly care about their craft and their customers. Everyone is family at this neighborhood treasure. read more

Easy 5-star! I had been sticking to the savory for too long. We finally tried the sweet (freshly glazed donuts) and they rocked! Also, my personal favorite: chocolate with sprinkles (because I'm a child), is amazing. We usually get breakfast here once a week. An added bonus? The family that owns this shop is fantastically friendly. read more

After months of searching, I finally happened upon Austin's best donut shop. This place is run by what I assume to be a nice family. No, I'm not assuming they're nice; that part I assume. I assume they are a family. Anyway, you'll find all your favorites--from old fashion donuts to glazed to the fancy twists and bear claws. Their cinnamon twist really has got to be one of the best I've ever had. In addition to donuts, S H has got a wide variety of savory pastries including kolaches and meaty croissant rolls. But it doesn't end there, the offer about 4 kinds of breakfast tacos. The tacos are all pre-made (not pre-fab but earlier in the day) so they're not quite Taco Deli level of awesome (if you want Taco Deli, you should just go there already). But they're still good! In short, this donut shop has got it all. Head there, shop local, eat well (or at least as well as you can at a donut shop). read more

Some of the best donuts and croissants in ATX. The lady is nice and after one visit she addressed by kids by name. The prices are very good so I never feel like I overpaid for breakfast (you know the feeling). read more

With all the offerings there are in Austin, a tiny converted gas station has the best donuts in town. Always fresh, these airy like puffs of deep fried perfection are always perfectly glazed, and served up by the friendliest couple you'll ever meet. Don't forget to try their savory selections as well. The croissant breakfast sandwiches are to die for. read more

This review is for the glazed donuts only. They are pillows of perfection. Incredible.
