Donuts were delicious. I like the drive-thru in case you dont want to get off and the donuts were fresh and soft. Its few blocks from the beach too. read more

Dannay's Donuts was underwhelming, unfortunately. I was expecting a great small town donut shop with delicious donuts but instead the items were mislabeled underneath the donuts and the woman taking the order wasn't understanding. The donuts weren't great. read more

Dannay's Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Crystal Beach, Texas

Dannay's Donuts was the only donut and kolache shop within a reasonable distance to our beach house, so naturally we decided to give it a try. The service of the girls in the drive thru was fast, efficient, and friendly. We tried the sausage, cheese, jalapeño kolache as well as a couple of blueberry glazed donuts. The kolache fillings were tasty and the spicy and tangy jalapeño shone through, but the thing that stuck out to me the most was the bread wrapped around the sausage. Upon taking my first bite, the dough tasted a bit off. While this off flavor was very mild, the entire kolache had an ever so subtle scent of incense. The blueberry glazed donut was delightful--very fluffy and light. I just wish that the blueberry was a bit more pronounced in their blueberry cake. I can't speak much to the cleanliness of the interior since we only used the drive thru, but this is a good and reliable spot to pick up some breakfast while you're chilling at a nearby beach house! read more

As it's our only donut shop in the area I have tried and tried to be patient. but I always buy the same exact two items every day and it's always different prices! I asked about it today and received a terrible attitude to be told I'm wrong. my cashapp account that I pay with proves they are crazy! plus they cook in dirty conditions. all the donut shops in galveston far surpass this junk! bad business practices for sure read more

The best donuts I have ever eaten. They are always fresh no matter what time of day I go get some. The only problem I have with them is, they sell out of all the good ones fast. read more

This rating is JUST for the one thing we ordered and ate. This cream cheese filled croissant. Omg! It was moist, light , full of cream cheese end to end. I wish I knew what they called it but it was the most memorable sweet treat we bought between two states on the trip. Wish I could go back and get more! All the other food didn't look appealing but this one item was a hit.. read more

Dannay's Donuts - Old fashioned, & blueberry - Donuts Near Me - Crystal Beach, Texas

If you are visiting: this is where you go because there aren't other donut options If you live here: this is where you work when you've given up on life. No one working here looked happy. I think this is where dreams come to die. The donuts (which are probably made from the tears of those that work here) are okay. They have a pretty good selection and quite a few jelly filled options. I wouldn't recommend any items that have egg- just didn't taste as fresh. There is a drive through, which is really convenient if you don't like to get dressed in the mornings :) read more

Rude and definitely not worth your time. The girl who took our order (the owners daughter?), was so incredibly rude. She seemed annoyed that we walked in and very bothered to take our order. No eye contact, we felt rushed. We paid then, when she didn't give me the coffee I ordered or the croissant, I politely asked about them and she yelled at me!! I've never been yelled at like that. She insisted that I didn't order a croissant then took the next persons order. I waited in the next line to order another croissant and honestly it was so bad I wish I hadn't... it didn't seem cooked all the way. I don't recommend. Terrible service read more

Two great experiences here. I was staying right down the road and in the area for work. (Work was about 45 minutes north.) I stopped by twice to pick up goodies for the field office. To be clear, I was there right when they opened at 4 AM, so things were about as fresh as they could possibly have been. They were literally bringing out hot, fresh goods while I was there. One of the fresh cake donuts I had just about melted in my hand (mmmmm!). Nothing on the main display was day-old, that was clear. Some of the stuff in the glass case may have been - I'm not sure - but if it was, it was still tasty. I got old-fashioned donuts, blueberry cake donuts, different kind of kolaches, breakfast tacos, croissant breakfast sandwiches, and other good stuff that I'm forgetting. I didn't try every item, but I had my share. All were tasty and everything tasted fresh. Staff wasn't over friendly, but they certainly weren't unfriendly - just professional and efficient. I didn't over-scrutinize prices as everything went on the company card, but they seemed fair. Interior was simple and not particularly large. Hopefully they enforce the limited capacity during COVID-19 fun or it would be easy to pack that little place. That wasn't a worry for me at 4 AM. :) I'll be back next work trip if we stay in the area again! read more

Place was busy and I can only assume it's because they're the only donut shop on the peninsula. We went just before 730 Sunday morning. We got a couple of donuts, bacon & egg tacos & pigs in a blanket to go (we had to get the big ones as they were out of the small ones). I'm unsure what sausage was in the pig in blanket- I took 2 bites and had to spit them out. Since those were a fail I was glad to have the taco.... until I took a bite. Yuck! I have no idea what it tasted like but it sure wasn't eggs or bacon! The insides were brown in color although this picture actually shoes some yellow. Either way it was disgusting and made me gag. I was able to eat the cinnamon donut that tasted 1-3 days old. This place has a lot it can do to be a good donut shop. Until it improves, we will not be back & would encourage you to not waste your time or hard earned money. Gas station prepackaged donuts are WAY BETTER than Dannays. read more

Dannay's Donuts - Nasty bacon & egg breakfast taco. Fed to the crabs. - Donuts Near Me - Crystal Beach, Texas

Awesome place has the only breakfast that we could find but it's great food Bacon is amazing biscuits are good croissants are huge and tasty the Apple fritters are delicious Opens very early so go early read more

Straight forward menu. The only donut shop within the peninsula. They have never messed up an order. I get the cake donuts without icing and kolaches. The breakfast burritos might be contending with jackinthebox's tacos, but the burritos aren't my go to. read more

Donuts were good! Not a huge coffee selection, but that was to be expected. Love going to places like this with a drive-thru option with the little ones. Service was fast and friendly. Will be back for donuts next time we're in town. :) read more

For the only donut place we could find near by they were pretty amazing and we had no complaints

I really don't understand the 1 star reviews. My experience here was great. The staff is very nice and the food here is fine. If you are looking for donuts, kolaches, and breakfast tacos, this is the perfect spot on the peninsula. I think anyone wanting these items should check out this spot. The 1 star reviews are over dramatic. read more

Meh. Mediocre and not fresh. The business apparently can get away with this because they are the only donut shop on the entire Bolivar Peninsula. I suppose you could get some donuts from The Big Store's grocery section, but other than that it's Dannay's or nothing if you want donuts at the beach. I got a dozen assorted donuts that were unremarkable. Some tasted like they were from the previous day. They were heavy, dry, and the filling in the filled donuts was partially sunk into the dough when I bit into them. Those donuts TOTALLY weren't made that morning, I could tell. Eclairs are supposed to have dark chocolate frosting on them, not milk chocolate like Dannay's. Either they don't know the recipe or they are too cheap to have multiple types of chocolate frosting. I also got a few biscuit sandwiches: sausage-egg-cheese and bacon-egg-cheese. The biscuits were overly sweet, the eggs didn't taste like they were cracked and cooked in the shop, and there was barely any cheese on them. Considering these offerings are specifically for people who want savory instead of sweet and don't want donuts, it doesn't make any sense for the biscuits to be so sugary. The owners of Dannay's apparently didn't think that through. The one thing that was good about Dannay's was that they were relatively inexpensive. But I doubt I'll ever go back there. It's simply not that good. read more

The food is alright, parking is a pain, but it is convenient so what else you gonna do? Kind of "is what it is" place

I don't know why people review this place so low. It's busy af in the mornings. Literally the only "fast food" place on the peninsula. Donuts are what you expect from an immigrant mom and pop shop. Kolaches are good, avoid the tacos. Donuts will be donuts. I'm giving this place a 3.8/5 but I'm gonna put 5 stars to help boost this place. The people talking smack about them are the ones in line every morning. Nuff said. read more

The sausage and cheese kolache had one piece of cheese that was 1/4 of a Kraft single. All five they I got were like that. The donuts were average, except for the apple fritter, it was also disappointing. Next time I'll drive a little further or just go without. read more

A trip to Texas is not complete without some kolaches for the road. A few years ago when I was loading up my kids to leave Crystal Beach they started complaining that they were hungry. Since I knew a long drive would be brutal with starving kids, I checked Yelp and discovered Dannays. Dannays is a typical Texas donut shop. They have all the standard pastry items, but they also have kolaches. It amazes me that the kolache craze hasn't really taken off in Louisiana, but rest assured, they are awesome. The kids got donuts and I got jalapeno and cheese kolaches. I can't comment on the donuts, but their kolaches were excellent. The pillowy soft bread was paired with the spicy cheese filled sausage. Yum. You can either drive through or walk in. Just know that if you drive through and have a manual like my Jeep did, the drive thru is very steep. Use caution so you don't roll back in to the giant lifted F-250 behind you. read more

Dannay's Donuts - Easy breakfast , lots of variety - Donuts Near Me - Crystal Beach, Texas

Donuts taste like day old donuts. Would not go back. Very disappointing. Only donut shop on the peninsula.

First to review my childhood vacation donut spot?! Don't mind if I do! On our annual summer trips to Crystal Beach we usually don't venture far off the course of house-beach-house, but at least one day out of the week we have to make a trip to Dannay's for donuts. Before Ike, Dannay's was a little cabin off the main road that was just big enough to hold a few people waiting to order. Now it's a pretty big concrete structure with a real parking lot and even a drive-thru! Sure, you'll wait in a line, after all it is THE donut store of Crystal Beach, but once you get the buttery kolaches in your hands, you'll know why you waited. They also have classic old-fashioned cake donuts and all the fancier options too. The people taking your order are not rushed in the least, which can be a little frustrating when you're waiting to order and watching them move at a snail's pace but that's beach life for ya! read more

While vacationing on Crystal Beach, we bought donuts at Dannay Donuts, and they were delicious. The blueberry donuts were the best ever!

Yummy kolaches!!!!!!!! I didn't taste the donuts our group got, but they were all gone so must have been good! LOL.

A few years ago I would have given 3 and a half stars. We bought donuts here while on vacation like we usually do. Unfortunately it seems like they are getting worse with each visit (maybe the ownership changed). The Kolaches were sub-par and you could tell they chose the cheapest of ingredients. I get it, the economy is tough right now for restaurants. The donuts were nothing special. Despite getting there early (7am) the kolaches and donuts were not fresh. This is what happens when you are the only game in town. The next day we bought powdered and chocolate covered donuts from The Big Store which were fresher and more of a hit with the family. read more

Really good Kolaches, breakfast croissants as well as cappuccinos. Iced coffee would be nice since there's limited places on the peninsula. Just a suggestion read more

Every time we stay at my moms friends beach house in bolivar Peninsula we just have to come here and get some kolaches. They are some of the best that you will ever try. So fresh and big and the price is just right. We also need a dozen of glazed donuts which are just as delicious! I had to take a dozen to go to take Home in Houston! Had my breakfast for the next 3 days haha. Can't wait to come here again! read more

Doughnuts are smhhh! Service is extremely slow, don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly so they can understand you. I guess when you are the only game in town you can do whatever you please. read more

Really enjoyed this place recently. We rented a cabin nearby for a week and I went in three times during our six day stay to pick up breakfast. There were 2-3 folks behind the counter and ordering was quick and polite. The donuts and kolache's are great. By the third morning I was looking extremely forward to my visit and for several days after getting back home, I missed their really good sausage kolache's. We also had breakfast tacos there. Here, I have to be a little critical. I live in Austin (the breakfast taco center of the universe) and I am extremely spoiled for the quality of breakfast tacos Austin offers. Although Dannays are reasonably priced, the quality is just average. I have to give them one thing though, I've never, ever seen a breakfast taco rolled as neatly as theirs - think Asian spring roll! All in all, a great place for breakfast - reasonably priced and fast, conscientious service. read more

Very disappointed in their donuts, coffee, "tacos", and croissant sandwich. I should have read the reviews on Yelp before going except I wanted donuts. Everything posted with bad reviews is completely accurate. Wish I had the taste buds of the good reviewers. They need to make some effort in their product. It sucks... badly. read more

Flies landing on food. No glass protectors. Only tried kolaches and croissant since they could be microwaved. They both were good.

This location was very close to where we were staying for vacation and we were happy to find it one morning! Friendly and fast service. They have much more than just donuts too! read more

The breakfast croissants are huge & inexpensive. This place gets packed and I've heard they sell out quick so I'd get here early. They also have a lunch menu & there's a drive thru if you're in a hurry. read more

Good and inexpensive! Only complaint was there was no toilet paper in bathroom but when I mentioned it to staff it was taken care of immediately! Busy! read more

Always busy but great donuts and drinks. Nothing better than waking up on the peninsula and getting some fresh donuts

I went here all grimy from a night of sleeping on the beach and practicing yoga in the seaweed-smelling Gulf of Mexico sand. I was expecting icky burned coffee and stale rolls, but I needed caffeine and beggars can't be choosers. Boy, was I happily surprised. The service was quick and no-nonsense. She greeted us immediately, came to the counter, took our order, threw some things in a bag in the microwave and poured our coffee, zooming around behind the counter as if on wheels. The shop was sparsely decorated with a strange homage to Eastern and Western gods, with two Shivas in lotus position flanking an Easter bunny and all of them draped in Mardi Gras beads. There are a few booths and a picnic table outside, but most of the clientele comes in, gets grub, then goes off to fish or build new houses, which is all of the activity on Bolivar Peninsula right now as it tries to recover from Hurricane Ike. Remember earlier, when I was all like, "She...threw some things in a bag in the microwave?" So now you're thinking I'm about to consume some gross convenience-store food, right? WRONG. I had a sausage, egg and cheese taco and a chocolate iced donut (I hate donuts but I'm at a place with 'donut' in the name, so I figured it was required), Jay H. had a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit, we both had medium coffees. It was gangster cheap, and on top of that, absolutely delicious. In the taco realm, tortilla is everything, as far as I'm concerned. And these were freshly made by someone earlier that day. J's biscuit looked perfectly buttery and crumbly, and we were altogether delighted with what we were eating. I even liked the donut. We both liked the coffee. Breakfast at at Dannay's on our way off the peninsula was an unexpected thrill. It's a must-try if you're hitting up the northern barrier islands of my old home state. read more
