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.

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.

Fritter Glazed twist

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!

Delicious assortment of their fresh doughnuts

Wow !! These doughnuts are so fresh and soft. Not too sweet even with the jam or custard fillings . Got the 2 dozen box for an office treat that everyone enjoyed !!! Open right here on the Island close to the beach .- behind the chicken place. I love to support local .

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

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

Donut nirvana! Ok, that's an exaggeration, but I was totally surprised to find such yummy donuts at…read morethis unassuming little shop. The outside is plain Jane, but the donuts are spectacular. Plus they sell breakfast sandwiches, kolaches, and taquitos (haven't tried them. Don't know if the tortillas are store bought or not). If you're looking for sticky sweet, no substance air filled crack donuts like Krispy Kreme sells, forget it. These donuts have substance. They aren't heavy but they have a little bite to them, ever so slightly, with that hint of a crisp on some of the edges like old school donuts. And there is NO chemical taste like HEB donuts. They are right up there with Gate's donuts. Almost. There's a good assortment for such a small display. The filled donuts are stuffed to the brim with jelly, chocolate, lemon, or Bavarian cream. The cinnamon rolls are flat but delicate, and the apple fritters are thin but crispy and filled with lots of apple and drenched with glaze. They sell a variety of frosted raised and cake donuts. The maple frosted creme filled long johns are my favorite! I'm gonna gain 20 lbs before Christmas even gets here. Oh but it'll be worth it.

Yummy everything here. This is another locally owned gem. It is clear that they pride themselves in…read moretheir food. They're open really early. Their drive thru is a bit tricky but the shop is clean. The staff is friendly. Fairly priced. Kolaches are DELICIOUS! Check them out, you'll be glad you did.
