Thank you Southern Maid Donuts for being open on Christmas morning. I was able to grab a dozen or so donuts to add to our Christmas brunch. Thankfully, they still had a good assortment of donuts. I also appreciated them making a really good apple fritter! Not that awful apple filling stuff others do. Needless to say the family enjoyed them and they went quickly. The ambiance was busy, as to be expected for a donut shop. The are in a little mall area, and can be missed, as the signage isn't very big. At least from the direction I came from. read more

The boudin kolache is the cheapest boudin you can buy and has slimy texture, you could feel through the crispy bread.

Ive been to this Donut Shop twice just ti give the cashier the benefit of doubt because were all human and people do have bad days! Both days i visited I'm assuming were bad days! Service was horrible and they dont deserve a 3rd chance! read more

Southern Maid Donuts - Donut Wholes - Donuts Near Me - Stafford, Texas

There is a good amount of Southern Maid Donuts in Houston but this location is the best one, it's definitely a gem for sure. The first time I came here I placed a big order because I wanted to do something for our local police department by my job. It was my way to say thank you for all they've done for the community & just keeping the area that I work at safe. The owner of this location is a hard worker & he made my order in a timely manner & I was able to deliver it to the station before the officers started their shift. Everything is hot, fresh and yummy. The Kolache's are huge, fluffy, soft, airy & even the sausage on the inside was better in quality than Shipleys & Kolache factory. The sausage/bacon egg & cheese croissant was fantastic. Their glazed donuts are soft & sweet, maybe a bit too sweet for me so I can only eat 1-2 of them. Overall, great experience each time I come here. What I like about this location is consistently, it's definitely never a disappointing one. From the outside & inside it doesn't look pleasing but their fresh products makes up for it. Will I come back? You bet I will. read more

This store doesn't look like much on the outside but its donuts are really good! I really like it because it isn't too sweet. I usually just get a regular glazed donut and it was really good. It had a really good texture! The worker was also super nice and talked to me while I was waiting! read more

I go here every weekend with the family. The donuts are light and airy and taste great piping hot or at room temperature (cold). The cinnamon twist is one my favorites. read more

Stopped here for donuts and a kolache. It was amazing. Jalapeño cheese and sausage. They were freshly made. And some were still warm. It's clean and the people behind the counter were very nice. read more

It's in a ghetto looking shopping center attached to a gas station. The place just looked really dirty and like they have not done any repairs since the 1970's the kolaches were ok , the bread was nice but I got two jalapeño sausage in cheese n it just felt like I was eating a bread and a hot dog. No flavor not enough cheese and not enough jalapeño tbh. I got one blueberry cake donut and it wasn't good. Not coming back. I asked for some cream cheese on the side because the kolaches had no flavor maybe I can dip it in there but no they told me they don't have any lol even tho they had cream cheese donuts on display lol so the service gets a 4/10 the food 4/10 and the place environment ambiance gets a 1/10 read more

10/10. Best donut shop I had in a while. The people inside were very nice and polite. Whoever makes the donuts and kolaches back there does a very amazing job. 10/10 would recommend! read more

One of the best glazed donuts I ever had. Very reasonable priced and they're open 7 days a week. I ordered a dozen glazed donuts ($8) and 2 kolaches (~2.3 each). The donuts were fantastic! They were very fluffy, soft, and warm. I usually never say this, but they melted in my mouth. I ate 4 donuts in one sitting. So addictive! As for the kolaches, I got the Boudin sausage w/ cheese and the jalapeño sausage w/ cheese. The kolaches were decent. My only complaint would be that there was too much bread than meat and cheese. I don't know; I'm not a kolache connoisseur. Anyways, I definitely recommend this place for their glazed donuts. Amazing! I'll definitely be coming back whenever I have a donut crave. read more

Small little shop but definitely great! I got an egg and cheese croissant and let me tell you, it was delicious. The croissant was fluffy, flaky and a lot bigger than expected. The amount of cheese and egg in there was perfect. I also had some donut holes which were soft and glazed just right. Not too much, not too little. I must note, I got my food at noon. Considering that it was so late in the day for breakfast, I was pleasantly surprised to bite into cloud-like donut holes. The man who welcomed me in and took my order was possibly the best part of my experience. He didn't say much, but was extremely kind and respectful. He genuinely seemed to appreciate my business. This place is a bit far out of my area, but I will make sure to stop by anytime I am around again. read more

I have relied on this place on horrible Saturdays when I was forced to go in early at my previous job and would pick up food for my friends. My picky friends all liked it, unless they were on a temporary diet, which later they would regret not having tried the food here. Personally, I think donuts and donuts, and don't see too much difference. What I like about this place is the interesting kolaches from boudin to jalapeno and sausage. It's just those interesting combinations that make coming here worth it. I think if it wasn't for the heartier breakfast items like their version of a sausage and egg biscuit and their various kolaches, I don't think I'd be as eager to come here. The people here are always sweet and very prompt. The line even when long, seems to always disappear before you even get the chance to get impatient, even with one or two people at the front. I'm not really sure how they pull that off. Ok...the only drawback is that it's not exactly the most healthiest of options, but when it's between going to work at 7 am on a Saturday in a bad mood, or going to work at 7 am on a Saturday munching on food as you force down the bad mood, I take the kolaches every time. If you haven't grabbed a breakfast bite from here it's time you check it out and let me know if you prefer the biscuits or kolaches. read more

Service was great and the donuts were even better. Very glad we decided to try this spot. The best donut holes I've ever had so much better than shipleys donut holes. The guy taking our order was very sweet. read more

How do you improve on perfection? Just add boudain. I implore you, if it's the last thing you ever do, to try a freshly baked boudain kolache from this Southern Maid. It's not some gimmicky item to mock our Louisianian neighbors to the east. The boudain kolache has stolen my heart (sorry ham & cheese croissant kolache). Like I said before, it's not something that all the other Southern Maid Donuts have, making this location is my favorite one by far. SO... put it on your to-do list. You have 3 things to order next time you come to this Southern Maid: (1) ham and cheese croissant kolache, (2) sausage and cheese croissant kolache, (3) the boudain kolache... oh... and (4) a dozen donut holes... crap... and (5) an apple fritter. Okay, so I can't count (numbers or calories). But I know how to put together an order at Southern Maid that will knock your donut-eating socks off. read more

If you are looking for a good sausage kolache, this is not the place. A big wad of bread (tasty but nothing special) surrounds a tiny piece of sausage akin to a Little Smokey. It just was t worth the money. The donuts however are well worth the stop. read more

How to show your customers you appreciate them, go to a place that appreciates a good donuts! This is the classic old fashion donuts place. Fresh and made with care. A great selection of flavors and a really good Apple Fritter. Just off the Freeway (like most places in Houston), quick stop and oh so worth it. Show your love, share a donut with a friend! KT read more

Mann they have the biggest Kolaches I have ever seen. The weenie or sausage is just as big too its not just all bread. They are always so warm and soft. Get in early for the first pick. They can be a little snappy sometime but I think its just because its early. ;) read more

Southern Maid Donuts - Kolaches are HUGE! - Donuts Near Me - Stafford, Texas

Best kolaches anywhere!! Croissant breakfast sandwiches amazing and donuts are oh so delicious!! You definitely get your money's worth with anything you order from this Southern Maid Donuts!! They are awesome!! read more

Every once in a while you need to find a donut place and hope it's not super generic and the same as every other one of the donut shops. This place is amazing. Not generic at all! Their kolaches are very unique. The bread is delicious and not that super airey bread either. Their donuts have a sweet icing that is different than other places and the owner, sporting a fedora, was super nice and went out of his way to make my order amazing. Great customer service. If you are in the area, pop on by. read more

The boss of Breakfast! Cambodian run and proud - so you know the French style croissants are guaranteed divine. No really. And the donuts are not bad either. Put this place on the map. Practical, punctual and yum. Houston would not have breakfast if places like this didn't exist. Bam! read more

It's like Shipley's but bigger and much more choices. Croissant are good. Bread nice and soft.

Southern maid will always be my favorite place to get donuts and kolaches. The glazed donuts melt in your mouth and the jalapeño kolaches are absolutely delicious. Together they are the perfect combination of sweet and savory. I highly recommend giving this place a try. The service and friendly and it is the perfect stop and go breakfast. read more

This place makes the BEST doughnuts in town! And that's coming from a Shipley's fan. They are light, tasty and just the right amount of sweetness. My husband loves their Boudain kolaches. read more

Nice little shop. Couple at the register are really nice. Coffee was just okay nothing special. The glazed donuts are delicious. They are similar to KK in terms of how light and fluffy they are, just bigger in size compared to KK and not thick or doughy like Shipleys. I also tried their egg and cheese croissants. The croissants were HUGE. I would suggest adding your own hot sauce. Other than that food was great. I'll definitely be back here. read more

Super fresh and delicious! One of our favorite shops and we look forward to trying the massive breakfast food next time.

Southern Maid donuts is a place I have passed by many times but only tried recently. I've been missing out until now. The donuts are fresh, soft, and sweetly delicious. They have a large variety to choose from not only in the donut category but in kolaches, croissants and other breakfast sandwiches. They even sell a boudin kolache which is very good in a savory, slightly smoked meaty way. The regular sausage and cheese kolaches have a good flavor, as well. The sausage is well seasoned and not gristly or fatty. Some of my favorite donuts from here include the coconut iced, cinnamon sugar and crumble. There are so many to try that it's hard to pick just a few. It's a case of eyes being much bigger than the stomach. They also sell Community Coffee which is always hot and freshly brewed. Service is friendly and fast without rushing anyone.The servers also make a note on your bags that tells the right amount of time for warming your purchase(s). I am very glad I stopped in here and gave this place a try. It's another donut shop I can add to my places to sate a donut craving and early morning donut breakfasts. read more

I am always in the look out for local run donuts places. My gold standard is Shipley's. I saw this place a while back and to give it a shot. The place was packed and the couple that was running the place was greeting many by first names. I knew I came to the right place. I ordered plain glazed, plain cake, blueberry cake, and glazed blueberry for the family. The verdict was 100% yummy. Shipley's has a legit competitor. I will go back to try their kolaches and other offerings for sure. read more

Just wanted to say that I stopped by for my usual chocolate and plain cake donuts. They were delicious and Peter was a great help as always. If you want good donuts, visit here read more

Always fresh and delicious. The sausage kolaches are amazing. Great selection. Highly recommended.

Best place for kolaches and croissants! I always get the jalapeño sausage and cheese kolache or croissant. Their bread is fluffy and moist. Boudain kolache is okay. Husband and wife run and own the shop. They are super friendly! read more

Great donuts and kolaches (being new to Texas, this is the first place I had them). Nothing too fancy here, and a limited assortment of breakfast stuff (would love some fruit/vegetable options as well as baked goods) but everything is always fresh and not too heavy. prices are excellent. I'm a big fan. read more

okay so im going to start off by saying this: i freaking love donuts. i decided to try this place because it's literally 6 minutes from my job and i really wanted a donut lol. it's a small little hole in the wall kind of place and those are normally the best kind places to get food from. i ordered half a dozen(bc its a $4 minimum with card) of original glazed donuts. MANNNNNNN THEY WERE SO GOOD!! perfectly glazed, not too much and not too dry. super soft, literally melts in your mouth. and the best part is they stay soft and taste just as good even a few hours later! the elderly man that took my order was also very sweet so that's always a plus. the prices are cheap too, highly recommend this place! i would upload a picture of my donuts but i ate them all :( read more

I enjoy kolaches and this place delivers 10/10. Get u that Boudain one it's REAL good

SMD's is the Best Donut Shop. Their Donuts are Warm, Light, and Fluffy. My Fav, The Jalapeno Sausage and Cheese Croissant is absolutely amazing. The Blueberry Cake Donuts are Delicious as well. The Owner and Staff are always Friendly and Fast. Get Customers In/Out with the Quickness. I love SMD's. read more

My favorite donut place in town is right here. Even when you order two or three glazed, they don't take the pretty ones from the case, they get the hot ones from the back! So good and melts in your mouth. + Community coffee, well that just says "welcome in" to me. I'll take these over Shipley's any day of the week. read more

Boudain kolaches!!! I have only been here once, but the man in the fedora (I think he owns the place) is so sweet and friendly. Their kolaches are huge and so are their croissant sandwiches. I grew up eating Southern Maid when it was right next to my house, so I have fond memories of this chain. I think I prefer Shipleys' kolaches but if I'm in the area, I'll go to this shop!! read more

Best eclair I've ever had, it was early and it had just come out of the fryer, and they fill them when you order it for maximum freshness.

The croissants are so flaky here, I die. I came back to get a croissant sandwich and it wasn't the same. I must come back to get the crossaint alone. read more

Great breakfast donuts, generous variety of drinks, and great breakfast kolaches. Close by as well! Great friendly staff too. read more
