Voodoo Doughnut

I attended a Yelp event and stopped by around 1 PM. The advertised matcha donut was sold out, but I…read morewas able to substitute it for the blackberry lime donut. My wife and I also purchased the Captain Crunch donut to try. Since we visited about an hour before closing, it seemed like the staff was starting to wind down for the day. The matcha drink was definitely the highlight of the visit and had great flavor. Unfortunately, both donuts were cold and seemed a bit stale, which was disappointing. Overall, it was an average experience for me. I'd recommend visiting earlier in the day for the freshest donuts, and the matcha drink was worth trying.

I also ordered a special, 6 donuts for $6 , which consisted of 2 glazed donuts, 2 powdered sugar donuts and 2 cinnamon sugar donuts. Great deal since a half dozen is normally $13.75. As I waited for my order, I watched the team member create a dozen box. The maple bacon donuts looked amazing with the generous sprinkle of bacon. Every donut is created to order so it's super fresh. When I brought my donuts home, we had fun doing a donut tasting. The cake donut was not too sweet and had a soft interior. We liked the glazed and powdered sugar donuts the most. The powdered sugar donut reminded me of an upgraded version of the small powdered sugar donuts I ate as a kid. I will definitely return to try other varieties. Each donut is $2.75 which is reasonable for a delicious treat.

Always good to go!

Voodoo Doughnut is definitely not your average doughnut shop--it's a quirky and creative experience. Known for its wide variety of flavors and eccentric toppings, it's more of a novelty destination than a traditional bakery. The menu is packed with unique options, from colorful frosted creations to doughnuts topped with cereals, candy, and other unexpected ingredients. While the flavors are fun and imaginative, some feel more focused on presentation than taste. That said, the doughnuts are still pretty good overall, and there's something for everyone to enjoy. The vibe of the shop is playful and upbeat, making it a fun spot to visit with friends or family, especially if you're looking for something out of the ordinary. While it might not be the place to find the best classic glazed doughnut, it's worth a visit for the experience alone. read more

Food: Voodoo Doughnuts offers a wide selection of donuts. The sweetness can be a bit much, and the texture tends to be a bit too bready. While the concept is cool, the taste doesn't stand out significantly. Ambiance: The atmosphere at Voodoo Doughnuts is classy, with magazine-worthy decor that sets the stage for great pictures and selfies. However, the drinks selection, primarily bottled products, lacks a unique touch, missing the opportunity to incorporate local coffee. Service: The staff is friendly, contributing to a positive experience. The cleanliness of the place is notable, but the ordering process can be confusing. Having the menu on your phone helps navigate potential surprises. read more

Would be a better place if there weren't bugs crawling all over the kitchen and if the GM Ricardo weren't such an immature and disgusting human being. Overheard him talking to an employee about gross and inappropriate topics of a sexual nature and making gestures. I suggest someone more qualified should be managing and that they get rid of this weirdo because it's not the first time, I will not be returning and I will not recommend this place to anyone I know. In fact I will attempt to keep as many people as I know from coming in until Ricardo is replaced. :^) read more

Voodoo Doughnut has a fun and quirky vibe, and their selection of doughnuts is definitely creative. The presentation is great, and the flavors are unique, but the taste didn't quite live up to the hype. The doughnuts were a bit too sweet for my liking, and the texture wasn't as fresh as I expected. The service was decent, but the wait time was longer than it should have been. It's worth trying once for the experience, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again. read more

I got a sausage croissant kolache, cinnamon twist and a cinnamon roll. I asked them to heat up the cinnamon roll because it was cold, but they said "we don't heat up donuts". Which.... I mean, I'm the customer. I WANT a warm cinnamon roll! So I walked away kinda miffed. I started on the twist. Very good! Nice and buttery but not greasy. The kolache, which they did heat up, was really good! The croissant was big, flaky and very balanced. Crispy on the outside, and soft and chewy inside. But the "sausage" was more hot dog'ish with cheese. But it was warm so it went well together. Would've not been good cold. But the star of the show was the cinnamon roll! Because I was driving to Dallas I put the bag in the front dash so it could heat up by natural sunlight. After almost 2hrs I could smell the aroma of fresh baked goodies! When I opened the little brown bag it was soft and glistening. No dry flaky sugar glaze! It was just like fresh baked. It had the unstoppable taste of butter vanilla and cinnamon. I savored it as long as I could before it ended. Best roll I've ever had, and I thank the shop for telling me they wouldn't heat it up in the microwave. A+ experience!

Instead of offering an upcharge or asking if I wanted to purchase them separately--which I gladly would have paid for--the cashier just shut it down, costing the shop an easy upsell.

When I politely asked for a bag for the drinks so I could actually carry my order to the car, she just handed me an empty bag and walked away. I had to bag my own items, defeating the purpose of tipping. Do you not train your employees on basic sales or how to package items for paying customers?
