They are officially open now!! First impression- open and bright and VERY clean!They had plenty of goodies in the displays to choose from . The staff were very friendly and welcomed my daughter and I as soon as we walked through the door… A+ for them on their great customer service! Side note- My daughter was pretty happy and excited when she saw their various “festive” donuts with all the red, white, and blue sprinkles in lieu of this July 4th holiday weekend . You made her morning!

The Halloween donuts that they came up with are so cute. The kids love them and I hear they are making some other kinds. They put a lot of work into them and I think they are wonderful.

Went in earlier today just before they closed, and ended up leaving with a free bag of donuts filled up to the brim!! The people running the shop are so nice, and are very welcoming. The donuts were amazing, along with the boba we got! I got a frappe with a delicious shot of espresso, my friend got a Thai tea with tapioca, and my sister got a coconut milk with tapioca. Least I can say is that they were AMAZING! Overall this place is so cute and so yummy! They also have a huge menu of delicious treats you can choose from. Will be a new regular during my visit to Texas this year

We tried a glazed, chocolate and cinnamon donut and found them to be fresh, light, and fluffy. Paid a reasonable $4. The service was efficient and friendly. Didn't try the beverages. Pro tip - don't try to eat the glazed donuts in the vehicle - it flakes and falls everywhere. Do take care in the parking lot - the curbs are aggressive and there isn't much room for maneuvering.

Very nice, clean, relaxed, and friendly place. The breakfast sandwiches were good, and the donuts were fresh. Parking was good for the time of day, and I like the outside table. Their decorations like the green plushie, the art, and plants were a nice touch

What a great donut shop. The boudin kolache was amazing and the chocolate glazed donut was good as well. They threw in 2 donut holes. All this and a bottled water for $5.74 what a bargain

The staff is friendly and quick, even during busy morning rushes. The shop is clean, inviting, and has that small-town charm that makes you want to come back. If you love fresh pastries and great service, this donut shop is definitely worth the stop. Highly recommend grabbing a dozen—trust me, you’ll want extras.
