Literally stumbled across this place online and last minute decided to visit and I'm so glad we did! The lady working there with her son are both so kind and there's really nothing to complain about at all. Their prices are super affordable and their dough is incredibly soft and chewy- will definitely be coming back to try the other items! (04/12/26) read more

Combo Donut - Sausage & cheese kolache, Strawberry donut, Donut holes - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is legit my favorite donut shop ever!! The donuts are light, airy, and so tasty. The owners are so kind and lovely to interact with. Their donuts are fresh every morning, but beware, they can sell out fast. It's a great, affordable place to get donuts and pastries. I no longer live in Austin but if I'm ever back, this is the first stop. read more

This spot is tucked inside an unassuming shopping center on S Lamar beside Starbucks. It's a great mom-and-pop shop that serves fresh goodies and breakfast as early as 6 a.m. You can tell they're a neighborhood staple because I've been in here a few times where the owners are chatting with families with kids. Excellent service no matter what time of the morning you come in. I used to come here early on weekends if I woke up too early to get a croissant breakfast sandwich (which they would warm up) and a few donuts. I almost don't want to tell y'all this, but this is the best apple fritter in Austin. It's crunch, craggy, sweet, and large. I once took a box of assorted donuts and an apple fritter down to family in SA and was tasked with returning with more fritters next time. Apple fritters are so good they taste amazing after an hour's drive. Come on! Next time you're in the area before 1 p.m., stop in to treat yourself and support a local business. Sidenote: I believe they have a card minimum, but I always come in here spending over $10 (and still try to pay with cash) anyway. read more

Stopped by Combo Donut to grab glazed and chocolate iced donuts for the office. When I tell you 15 people asked where I got the donuts.... YUM! Very pillow-y and great flavors - type of donuts that makes you smile. Highly recommend! read more

I absolutely love this place. First, the employees that work here are so kindhearted. Secondly, the donuts are always fresh. So soft, and well made. You can taste that they are made with LOVE. Third, the store gives classic donut shop in a small town. It's simple, but it's good that way. 5 stars across the board from me! It's my fave part of the week when I get to stop by. read more

Combo Donut - Strawberry donut - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

We've been coming here for years. By far the most delicious donuts in the Austin area (bold statement but true and we have tried all the popular ones). Always made fresh, super fluffy. Kolaches are also great! Owned and fully operated by a husband and wife team. Per my 10 year old daughter - "If I could, I would rate it a million stars." read more

Combo Donuts is truly a hidden gem of South Lamar! This place has the best kolaches, and the most incredible donuts, in all of Austin. The dough they use for everything here is out of this world and makes all their products so fluffy and delicious. Margaret and her family are also the kindest, friendliest people- I'm happy to support such a great local business. Combo Donuts really can't be beat! A few of my favorite items: Sausage and cheese kolache Boudain kolache Maple donuts Croissant bacon sandwhich Donut holes read more

Super busy but extremely friendly. All of the donuts were excellent! I especially liked the bars and kolaches.

Donuts so good they will turn a donut hater into a believer. The fact that I haven't written about Combo Donuts yet amazes me. The love affair I have with their glazed donut is truly the romance of the century. I will start off with the kolaches before I get into my ode to the glazed donut. The kolaches are actually spectacular. The jalapeño kolaches have whole jalapeño slices in them instead of just being in the sausage which I enjoy. I'd like to say I know a thing or two about kolaches being a born and raised texan, and these are my favorite in Austin by far. They really aren't trying to do too much, they're just a classic done EXCEPTIONALLY well. Honestly, that is Combo Donuts whole thing, classics done exceptionally well. The donuts aren't anything special or innovative. Not a maple bacon gold plated donut in sight. But, when I sit down on the patio with a cup of milk and eat my glazed combo donut it is truly me and that donut against the world. I seriously do not know what kind of sweet love they put into their donuts, but, I have been going for the past 2.5 years and have a religious experience every time. I love combo donuts. I love how you walk into combo and it's just the funniest little ambiance, truly a good ole ma and pa hole in the wall donut shop right on s lamar keeping this neighborhood alive and well. I have never been to combo and not seen the sweet lady who is always at the front. If combo ever tried to shut down I would chain myself to the building in protest. read more

Def best value yeast donuts in town. They're super soft, fluffy, and light - not oily. The glaze is nice but I would def prefer a bit less glaze. Overall delicious donuts at really reasonable prices. read more

They have the best donuts!!! I preordered a large order of donuts and kolaches for a team event. They had them ready on time and hot and fresh! Thank you Combo Donut! read more

Updated: Alright I'm back. Again. I went to grab a couple donuts and didn't have cash so I had to grab 3 to meet their $5 minimum for credit card, so needless to say I'm now well experienced with their donuts. Straight to the point delicious donuts, possibly best in Austin. No fancy nonsense making their donuts look like a 3rd grader's art project like other popular ATX spots. Also a fraction of the price. I asked for her favorite and she gave me a plain one. It was amazing. Must try this hole in the wall spot. read more

The reviews were good so I checked them out while in town. The donuts are pretty good. Not the best I've had, but good. I'm a donut snob so it needs to be OMG to get 5. Donuts are nice and fluffy, just the glaze is heavy. read more

This is genuinely the best donut you'll have from a local shop - there's a lot of donut shops using the same basic dough these guys have perfected their dough it's sooo soft chewy yeasty - perfection in a donut. Hard to find this kind of donut in local shops read more

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST YEAST DONUTS. I've lived in Memphis, Chicago and now Austin and this shop's yeast donuts cannot be topped. They are so soft, light and perfectly glazed. The prices are also great. & they have kolaches, croissant wrapped sausages/boudins and croissants sandwiches that are really good too. I feel like it's the only shop around Lamar Blvd that offers a simple but delicious croissant sandwich and that's how I like it. read more

Hole in the wall donut shop that was absolutely fantastic. The donuts are light and airy (yeasted) and the chocolate caked donuts were full of flavor and had the right amount of crunch to them. The Apple fritter was outstanding as well and who could say no to a cinnamon roll?! The woman working the counter was incredibly friendly, very quirky and very helpful. Also absolutely worth the price over some of the more extravagant and elaborate donut places around town. read more

Best breakfast sandwiches and kolaches in town. not sure what more you need to know, but I have to use at least 85 characters.

Same family have operated it for years. Very personable and polite. Great croissant sandwiches and the donuts are the best.

Unassuming, barely lit, donut shop that is the home of by far the best donut in Austin.

Some of the best donuts and kolaches I've had in Austin!!! So so so delicious!! Very nice customer service. Family owned. Go support!!!

Every time I bring Combo Donuts to a parent coffee people ask me where they are from. Combo Donuts are the best.

Nothing super fancy about this shop. It's in a strip mall. Just has a couple little tables. But the donuts are incredible! They are fresh and the service is fast. The Applefritter's are my favorite. If you're looking for fancy donuts maybe try somewhere else. But if you're looking for good reliable donuts, this is your spot! read more

While the store isn't fancy, the Apple Fritter was outstanding!!! Woke up Sunday craving a classic Apple Fritter and was dismayed to see that most of the swanky donut shops have a lot more complex stuff ans miss this staple. Neighborhood reviews were strong for Combo so we gave it a try. -Apple Fritter (5 of 5 stars): smashed so no doughy middle, just the right ratio of glaze (one side only) and just crispy enough -Classic Grandma donut (5 of 5): so light yet crispy! -Croissant Sandwich (4 of 5): flaky croissant, oodles of bacon... downfall was American cheese not cheddar and the micro reheat ... but we were so pleasantly surprised to have this protein rich option to round out our sugar rush Definitely will be back! read more

These are the best donuts I have ever had in my life. I love this place so much, perfect

Small locally owned business. I am not a huge donut fan but the donuts were very good and my friend who loves donuts says it's "the best strawberry donut she's ever had". The woman who helped us was very sweet and friendly and the kolaches with the hot dog and cheese were super tasty and fresh! read more

Seriously the best donuts in this area! I tried the maple and plain glazed and will be back to try the rest.

Holy moly. I did not look at reviews - just happened to be in this strip mall at the pharmacy and went in to get a donut for the kid. My god. The simple glazed is the platonic ideal of a donut. I don't even really like donuts. But damn. They know what they're doing. I have no pictures to share - they were all gone in minutes. read more

Combo Donut is an absolute gem. To explain why is going to reveal my inner old man but here we go: You know how every place seems to have a loyalty program, email campaigns, and multi-page menus that take a long time to puzzle out? And they just keep getting more expensive? Combo Donuts serves donuts. They're all right there. You walk up to the one counter and get them. They also have decent tacos. They also have the same drinks you grew up with in your local deli/corner store/whatever. The donuts are great - light and fluffy as if they mated with a cruller. And they are so dang affordable. Thank you Combo Donuts for being simple, tasty, and cheap. read more

This is the best donut shop in Austin. I have scoured the city for donut shops and combo takes the cake. It never disappoints. Their traditional doughnuts are light and fluffy but also substantial. The size is great and each donut will run you somewhere near $1. The owners are so nice as well! They remember my boyfriend and I's order and remember what's going on in our lives which is so sweet. There is a $5 card minimum, but that's not hard to reach LOL. If I only want a donut and don't have cash, I'll get a couple extra and give them to some of the homeless people on North Lamar. Their kolaches are also great! Big fan of the jalapeno and cheese Kolache. Combo donuts is so awesome ! read more

Fantastic donuts. They have a croissant kolache that is randomly so good. The ladies who work there are as sweet as the food they make. Stop in and give them a try! read more

Tried for the first time today (was in the area and noticed all the great reviews). I must say, their donuts are very, very good. They have your standard selections you would typically find in many donut shops. Their apple fritter was my favorite and their yeast donuts are a nice plump size and delicious. I haven't tried any of the kolaches yet. The girl behind the counter seemed a little "over it" for whatever reason....but as long as I got my donuts I'm happy :-) read more

Soooooo good. Very quickly has become a Saturday morning tradition for my girlfriend and I. The kolaches are amazing and their glazed donut is my favorite in the city. read more

Yum! Really happy to have discovered this unassuming little donut shop. Good variety of big, fresh, soft donuts, served by nice people--everything a donut should be. read more

COMPLAINT I Do Love this place. It is hands down my favorite shop in the area. But today I had a very annoying experience. I frequent the store 2-3 times a week. I spend on average $15-$20 per visit and I always leave an additional optional tip. I talk this shop up to friends and family and they have all fallen in love for the place as well. But after I had paid $16 for my kolaches and donuts (plus $3 tip) I turned to the coffee station and grabbed 3 coffee creamers so I can enjoy my purchase with the coffee I had made at home. As I put the creamers in my bag the girl behind the counter, in front of other customers, yelled out "Those are not free." Excuse me? I am a loyal customer, I am a good patron, I tip because it's courteous and I see others leave without tipping- often, and you are going to call me out for coffee Creamer packets?? It felt VERY unprofessional and very uncalled for considering how much money I spend here on a regular basis. read more

Some of the best donuts I've ever had! Not too sweet, and super moist. I will definitely be coming back here. The person working there was super nice, too. read more

Great little shop owned by a sweet couple. Everything I've had from here is delicious! Definitely try to bring cash to help this mom and pop. read more

Definitely the best donuts in Austin! Every time I bring them for the office, my staff always raves about how good they are!

The donuts and kolaches are amazing! (Blueberry and strawberry frosted are my personal favorite donuts), but the real reason we come here so often is Miss Margaret. By and far the sweetest person I have encountered in the Austin service industry. Her and her husband own and operate this little donut shop, definitely my favorite in Austin! Also you can buy single Capri-Suns, which is awesome. read more
