Who doesn't love a good donut? We do so we stopped in to try these out. The, I believe, owner was in helping the customers both the walk ins and the drive through. He was a very nice guy who greated everyone with a happy "good morning". The shop has some tables to sit and enjoy your selection, it is clean and welcoming. So, what about the donut and Kolaches? Both good... better than the large chains but not as good as many others we've had. Both my wife and I said, good but wouldn't necessarly go back. read more

Kolaches were good. The cake doughnuts tasted a bit stale. Actually all of the doughnuts tasted as if the oil was a bit old. Very friendly. We would try it again. read more

Awesome spot!! Such nice costumer service and amazing food. Loved the all around vibe

Outstanding customer service! Very friendly owner and the food is amazing! I definitely recommend. ~ Dr. Gregory

This place is incredibly mediocre. Plus, the drive thru itself is difficult to maneuver.

I'm torn, living here on the island I want to be supportive of our local businesses, but I have to be honest about the product. I purchased a dozen common donuts and had to pay $23. I've owned two donut shops and never charged this price. Very sad just because we live on Padre island businesses feel like they can charge more money. read more

Small little donut place off the beaten path on Padre Island that's run by a nice senior couple. Not sure what they do with the dough, or the icing, but they were super yummy. I don't like most of the heavily frosted donuts, but I'm a big fan of the basic glazed donut or glazed twist. I ordered the glazed twist here, and there was something about it that took it just a bit higher than your average glazed donut at your local grocery store. It was delicious. Unfortunately we stopped there as we were headed out, headed back to Dallas. So I didn't get a chance to go back a second or third day. Give it a try and let me know if I'm crazy, but there was something unique about these donuts. Two thumbs up. read more

The food was delicious. The employees were very polite. They had an expansive menu to choose from. I had a sausage, egg, and croissant.

Convenient kolache and donut spot on the island, good for a breakfast run. Plenty of parking and the other breakfast option opposite Whataburger. Nothing spectacular but everything is as you expect. Owners are friendly. read more

The Donut Palace - a tray of donuts and a cup of coffee - Donuts Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

This place has a great variety of donuts and sausage-filled pastries! The staff are very friendly and seemed to have been on the Corpus island a long time. The place is open way before I get up but apparently a lot of the tour operators get their early to have donuts for their sea-faring customers. read more

Best donuts on the island hands down! I just ate a jalapeño cheese kolache with glazed and chocolate donuts this morning and they were delicious. read more

The guy is very nice. Great donuts! I also bought the twist with chocolate frosting but ate that in the car. The donut is crisp which is soooo good because when you bite into it, it's soft! read more

Cute little donut shop near my dad's beach rental property. Came in a bit after 6 in the morning. Still had a huge selection of donuts and lady up front was very nice to us. Donuts were excellent. Our boys inhaled them! read more

Great selection of donuts & kolaches (meat). Kids loaded up, Friendly staff. Check em out!

Messed up order of 1/2 dozen kolaches as suppose to be sausage with cheese but got no cheese pigs in blanket for $18 which is pretty darn expensive for basically mystery hot dogs. Called and no answer to correct order for office. Sad as expected more as wife frequents and never any issues. read more

Good variety. Fresh. Definitely will go back. Open only till two so get there before they close. You will be glad you did.

The donuts are absolutely delicious! Highly recommend them! The donuts are fluffy and fresh! Would recommend this place over Shepleys any day! If you are close you don't want to miss out on their donuts especially with the limited places around for breakfast. read more

Delicious every time. Get their kolaches (pig in blanket) you won't regret it! They have a drive through and a distilled water dispensary inside. Their donuts are delicious and reasonably priced. Always a great breakfast or after church stop!! read more

The wife and I were waiting for our reservation for Horses on the Beach ride and decided to stop in here. Stopped in little after 10am and the donuts were still fresh and satisfying. Also got a cheesed filled in pig in a blanket, realizing it was a cheese filled dog and microwaved after you order it, was still good. Simple shop that seems consistent. read more

Pretty amazing donuts. Line was long on a Sunday morning but worth it for the donuts. Good selection too.

I'd like to chalk it up to 'maybe she was having a bad day' but even on my worst day, I've never talked to my customers the way this woman did to me this morning. The food is decent here... even before this incident, I've always preferred Shipley but this place is close to home so no point in driving over the bridge. I walked in and there was a man in front of me who she was ringing up. My little girl hadn't finished deciding what she wanted yet, so when it was our turn, I smiled and let her know she could help the person in the drive-thru and that we didn't mind waiting. There was no one in the shop aside from us. All smiles because, hey, it's National Doughnut Day! It's important to note that when she was walking back up to the drive-thru window with the customer's order, it was clear she was at the very least annoyed at something as she flung the box of donuts up onto the counter by the window register. The guy probably got home and wondered why his donuts were all accordionned together. She returned to me and gestured that I could begin ordering by a rude upward nod of her head. After I ordered our croissants, I continued with "I'd like half a dozen..." and proceeded to tell her I wanted two glazed (which she got right), the chocolate one on top with little rainbow sprinkles... she looked annoyed as she bent down to a lower rack and pulled a completely different one from there. I said, "and the rest can be the pink ones" to which she replied, "The rest... I don't know how many are the rest!" WOAH. LADY WOOOAH, chill OUT. She pulled the tray and reached over the pink ones I'd pointed at to get the other pink ones with black and orange sprinkles. Turns out she gave us all the old Halloween donuts from five days ago. Today is the 5th of November. She rung me up and tossed a curled up merchant's copy receipt for me to sign. It had a tip line. Ha! I'll give you a tip: THIS IS NOT HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT YOUR BUSINESS! I signed it and slid it back over. She made an audible sigh, shoved the paper in a drawer, and without even a thank you for coming in, she turned her back to me and walked to the next person. Lady, if you're reading this, you took the fast road to losing customers this morning. The two people behind me witnessed your behavior as well. Bad day or not, I don't give a shit, there is a certain way you should socially interact with nice people, and that certainly isn't the way to do it. I will never give your business another dime of my money. Hey, the people at the new Shipley smile at their customers (novel idea!) I am still in shock at your absolute, bold rudeness. read more

The Donut Palace - She intentionally gave us 5 day old Halloween donuts instead of the ones I asked for. - Donuts Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

If you're staying on N Padre & are looking for a donut shop, this place is about your only option. Their selection includes kolaches, breakfast sandwiches a limited assortment of donuts, apple fritters & various cinnamon tools. But, you need to get there early as we found they sell out of the popular donuts before 11. They serve coffee & a large assortment of bottled drinks, but no fountain drinks. There is a drive-though, too. We found service to be slow both inside & at the drive-through. read more

Amazing donut shop. We were visiting from San Antonio and randomly came across this place. Fresh donuts! The spinach and feta cheese pastry is a must. read more

Their cheese and jalapeno pig in a blanket was DELICIOUS. i always get their blueberry and old fashioned donuts. Customer service was on point. My husband likes the other donuts so I'm sure they're all great. We love the donut holes. They're not drenched in glaze so it has the perfect amount of sweetness. read more

There's a place in Austin that has the BEST kolaches in the city. I've not found kolaches to rival those until now. My friends BF was kind enough to bring us kolaches and cheap champagne to assuage our raging hangover. I expected the normal kolache -- anemic little suckers, kind of disappointing -- but then I was greeted by the site of two grease soaked bags I knew we were in for a good one. Out came kolaches that were at least 6 inches in length, wrapped in poufy glistening bread and crossaints, oozing cheese and marked with a little green dot for jalapeno. That glorious half a foot of heaven entered my piehole at warp speed and dayummmmmmmmm it was delicious. The ham wasn't quite as good as the sausage so if you're choosing between meats, hit up the spicy sausage. If you worship at the foot of the great Kolache, consider this your temple. PS: Best kolaches in Austin are at Chuys Panaderia. Try it. And you're welcome. read more

How can you serve coffee without any milk products at a doughnut shoppe? Service w/out a smile.

It's a donut shop there's nothing exciting about what they serve. The donuts are consistent. As are the sandwiches. Unfortunately I can only give two stars because the horrible customer service that we frequently experience with the wife/co-owner. This morning she wouldn't stop a FaceTime conversation she was having while I was trying to ask questions. read more

The Donut Palace - Yea, no caption needed. - Donuts Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Wow. If I could give no stars at all I would. Are you serious lady?! I am here on vacation and I went in to order some croissants. I walked in and said "Good Morning" to which I got no response. I thought maybe she didn't hear me. So I ordered and she disappears to the back for about 2 minutes. When she comes back she rings me up and as I'm leaving I say "Thank you" to which I get no response. So I repeat myself because I realize that she CAN hear me she is just being rude as hell. I say "Thank you" again and she says "mhmm". Unbelievable. Didn't say a word besides my total and barely looked at me. I will never come back and I will make sure to leave a negative review on every platform possible. You don't know what kind of day people are having so you need to fix yourself, because not everyone will be as nice as me. read more

I love maple bars!! So this place actually has maple bars not long johns with maple frosting BUT maple bars....I bought a dozen mixed donuts which every donut was really good! I'm picking when it comes to donuts. The folks don't speak English very well so be very clear what you ask for because they want to make your order right. read more

The guy that helped me today was so nice and helpful! Their blueberry donut is so good! Love this place.
