When I went the staff was very nice and welcoming. The donuts are huge and cheap so it's really a good deal. They are also delicious! I tried the maple, glazed, and chocolate iced and they were all amazing. read more

The donuts here are absolutely melt in your mouth fantastic best I've ever had! The pigs in a blanket are legendary! Soooooooooo GOOD. Service is top notch. They are always smiling and helpful. Yesterday I showed up at 6am thinking they were open then I noticed on their sign said open at 7am so I started to drive off then I heard someone yelling at me to come back so I backed up. The guy at the window told me even though they weren't open yet they had some things ready and he'd help me if he could. I LOVED THAT! Saved me from having to come back later. I'll sum this up with one last statement, GO TRY THIS PLACE AND I PROMISE YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED. read more

Dixie Cream Donuts - Half a dozen of heavenly donuts. - Donuts Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

So glad they're back. No donuts like these anywhere. Always good, and great folks who welcome you every time. The apple fritters are the best anywhere. The donuts are not just the best around but the biggest. Manske Rolls are legendary, they weren't a part of the Dixie Cream history but the owners have preserved Dixie Cream, Gill's Broiler, and Manske Rolls, which are all part of San Marcos' long story. read more

New owners? Different decor and the ancient hanging sign with all the prices is gone. Without the sign it is harder to know what is typically on offer or what you'll be paying. With only two display trays in the front at 8:55 am, we had a limited idea of what's on offer. My ham and cheese croissant was small, but still had nice toasty edges after she reheated it in the microwave and we took a five-minute drive to the train station. It was a notable option when I'd been expecting only doughnuts. Five star service--sweet young woman pulled a tray from the cooling rack for Mr R to choose a maple and a chocolate doughnut. Frosting was still gooey! He was delighted. And the price? I paid under six bucks at the register for his doughnuts and coffee, my milk and a ham and cheese croissant. Pleasantly surprised! read more

Dixie Cream Donuts - Ham and cheese croissants! Either side are long johns they can top, I think. - Donuts Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

The most disguising donuts EVER. WE moved to the area 2?years ago and finally tried this place last week. Only reviewing it now because it came up on my feed as I try to block out bad things. I will start with a positive. The apple fritter was delicious and unique. Now for the turn offs, cinnamon twists were gas station quality at best and the long john I requested filled with vanilla filling and topped with chocolate glaze came out looking like the mitten I remember as a kid that my dog swallowed and then passed back out his digestive system. It tasted as bad as it looked. Almost was enough to scare me away from donuts for life. But no, we are on our way north on I-35 with a planned stop at Round Rock Donuts to hopefully cure my new found fear of chocolate covered food items. read more

I'm so disappointed right now. My mom has been bringing me here for as long as I can remember. Their donut holes and pigs in the blanket have long been the best in town. Come to find out Dixie cream was sold to a new owner, and things just aren't the same. My mom brought me this morning for coffee and donuts 30 minutes before closing and I received cold donuts, which means they aren't made fresh every day like they used to be. The donut holes were small, thick dinner roll-like consistency covered in glaze. I ate two of the dozen I paid for before I decided I couldn't stomach them anymore. We paid $11 for two coffees (which seemed to be old and reheated), 1 dozen donut holes, two pigs in the blanket, and a milk. For the quality of the donuts I feel I paid too much. I basically bought the milk for no reason because the donut holes were an absolute waste of money, and an insult to the original owner. The recipes have changed for the worst, so I will probably never return. read more

Easily the best donut holes I've ever had. I think they must put a tiny bit of vanilla in their glaze or something. Freaking fantastic. Also- if you're a fan of jelly filled donuts (I prefer raspberry filled), this is the place to get them. Their jelly filled donuts are all rectangular instead of round, so there's jelly in every bite. GENIUS! read more

If you want to impress co-workers, you couldn't do better than bring in a dozen of their square donuts. And they have the best Homer (strawberry w/ sprinkles) donuts in town. And they sell Manske rolls, too! Yum! Edit: Square donuts are gone except if you call ahead. Bummer. read more

Rarely do I ever give 5 stars. Went here on a limb..(I'm a Shipleys loyal customer since I was 5) and I was greeted immediately, I got asked if I ever dined with them previously. For high school kids, they loaded me up with history. I even got a free glaze donut to try and compare to my Shipleys donuts. Try them. You won't disappoint. Best donuts ever. read more

Dixie Cream Donuts - Sorry, I couldn't wait for the picture. The glaze is to die for. All of these are homemade and hand cut. You can definitely tell - Donuts Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Not only are their donuts the best in town, but easily the biggest. And cheap too. Haven't been in a while, and was greeted by Ruben, who I'm guessing to be the owner. He explained that they use only potato flower folded by hand, not a mixer in the building, to best preserve the glutens. I love a bit of science with a good sweet. Also said they were under new management, and would be expanding their hours and menu after a grand reopening in November. Sold. read more

Dixie Cream Donuts - Donuts Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

For all who grew up in SM, seeing the family who founded Dixie Cream at the window or making donuts in the back, this is not the same place. New owners bought it (Manske Rolls and Gil's broiler). Donuts are made off site, and are cold when they get here. The recipes aren't the same, you pay twice the amount for half the food and half the taste, and you're better off eating at Shipley's, or dare I say it, Krispy Kreme. Literally had the worst apple fritter there ever, which was always a Dixie Cream specialty. No one cares if the donuts are square if they don't taste good anymore. Save yourself the expense and go elsewhere. read more

BEST PIGS IN THE BLANKET EVERRRRR!!!! God I love this place. I've been going here ever since I was really little- and nothing has changed in 25 years, which is amazing! Same melt in your mouth bread and yummy sausage! I like mine plain but some ppl get mustard etc. their donuts are pretty great too! read more

Dixie Cream Donuts - YUM - Donuts Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Great Potato flour donuts. Locally owned and operated. This place is not a national company but has roots in the Ohio valley. Great Pigs in the blanket ! baked cookies and Cinnamon rolls to die for! Eat here when ur able. or check your church's coffee room the owners of dixie crm donated the donuts for the congregation . read more

Used to have the best donuts, kolaches, and the best prices. Going to miss this place.

My boss brought a box in to the office today. Opened the box, nothing fancy just chocolate and glazed. Took a bite and instantly I knew this was a donut that stood out amongst all other donuts. It was light yet creamy. Perfect texture. Well balanced. Other donuts just can't compete. Perhaps until today I've only had mediocre donuts throughout my life. All I know is that this place is special. read more

This used to be the best shop in town but they changed owners and now have gross tasting donuts and the worst customer service ever. Way to ruin something that made San Marcos great!!! They should do the public a favor and close. read more

I was here to get a dozen doughnuts - pretty straight up task. The Menu stated Glazed, Twists and Cinnamon Twists were $1.00 each. If I bought a dozen, then $9.00. But if I mixed and matched the types of doughnuts that were $1.00, then the Dozen costs $13.50. Hmm...let's see, I get penalized for purchasing $1.00 doughnuts, which are ALREADY produced and sitting there, because I want variety? So I end up paying MORE than $1.00 apiece? How does that work? Should I order them one at a time to get them for $12.00? The clerk was not seeing the lack of logic here, she said tough...the doughnuts are $13.50. Yes, I could have refused and walked out, and now I regret I didn't...they weren't $1.00 doughnuts! Sorry, local people, but if you do the customers wrong, they will leave, and support the "other guys": Krispy Kreme. I do not recommend Dixie Cream in San Marcos, TX read more

Really good, fresh, doughy, sweet donuts. And prices cannot be beat especially for how good the donuts are!!

How have I not been here yet?! 3 years in San Marcos and I just now stopped in this little gem of a spot. I went classic, one glazed and one chocolate glazed, a pig and a hog. The donuts are denser and heavier than your every day donut without being cakey, I love that. Also, they're square; how awesome is that! The pigs in a blanket are some of the best I've had. The dough is just as dense as the donuts and just a touch sweet. The hog is bigger, had some cheese and jalapeños cooked in the sausage to really set off the flavors. read more

WOW--I gotta say, these are some of the yummiest, hugest donuts I've ever had. They're nice and chewy and sweet. They're different than regular donuts (they use potato flour), but so good. The service was also really nice--and super cheap! Thanks Dixie Donuts, I'll be back for more! :) read more

Small building but big hearts and big flavor! The staff were very friendly and attentive. We ate inside although that space is very small. It sort of feels like you are eating in the kitchen. The apple fritters are equal or better than any we have had anywhere and we have had MANY! Their savory croissants with ham and cheese were melt in your mouth delights. And their famous Manske Rolls are killer! If you eat in you should ask them to heat one up for you. This cinnamon roll is fluffy, gooey, sweet perfection. It's good we live nowhere close to this place, otherwise we would be blimps from eating here so often. Go now! read more

Stopped in here on my quest to find the best donut in San Marcos, and thought is was ok. I believe an older couple own and run the place, so it is a nice local business to support. However, the cake donut was not my favorite, but it did have a nice light, fluffiness to appreciate. The flavor just wasn't quite there. I will try again. read more

Easily the best donuts in town. They been around the longest so that should speak volumes. Their donuts are always fresh and soft. Very light and sweet. Don't go anywhere else but HERE for donuts. So yummy. You won't regret stopping in (they even have a drive through if your in a rush) read more

I have been going to Dixie for over 15 years and have always thought the donuts were melt in you mouth amazing. Not so much anymore. Now, they are huge, heavy, and dense and of course more expensive. Took some to my office and everyone was really let down that the new owners changed the recipe, size and shape. Guess we have to find somewhere else to go now. Really a let down and a sad day. I gave 2 stars because though the staff is nice, they are very unorganized and slow. Very different from the original staff. read more

Best donuts ever! And they open super early like at 6am! Great service especially from Gracie, she's great and always has a smile on. I took a dozen to work with me in Austin and my entire office was raving! read more

I once was a fan of this place. When I started coming here every so often, the donuts were amazing, the staff was nice, and the overall experience was happy. I loved their chocolate recipe and thought it was cute when they switched to square donuts. I hadn't come here for some time but I was craving a good donut so I decided to stop by. What I got however was disappointing to say the least. The glazed are hardly sweet anymore which I could live with but the chocolate, MY FAVORITE, is a sad excuse for a chocolate donut. The chocolate looks like it has way too much water. It's so thin that it looks like a glaze on the donut and where the glaze lacked in sweetness, they overcompensated with the chocolate. Maybe they switched bakers too because the donuts are now very dense as well. Very sad that I will have to resort to another donut shop now... read more

Dixie Cream Donuts - A picture of the disappointing chocolate - Donuts Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

One of the only old fashion donut shops I can think of left in Texas. I live in San Antonio and this is a must when Im in the are in the am. Drooling as I think about it! Donut holes are my favorite!!! read more

Not the same. Used to be one of my favorites as a native San Martian. Donuts don't taste fresh and do not have the same taste as before. Now they are just the same as anywhere else in town but double the price. Very disappointed! read more

I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Dixie Creme Donuts! Their apple fritters, chocolate, vanilla & donut holes are absolute favorites! I will say they are THE BEST donuts I have EVER EATEN! Additionally, I love the fact that it is locally owned and operated and the people are soooo friendly. read more

Ok let me start off by saying the young woman at the drive through window was super nice and accommodating, great service! BUT, what happened!?!?! I've been DREAMING about a Dixie cream long-john chocolate covered with cream center for YEARS as I haven't been here since I was a kid, probably 30+ years ago. It was literally my favorite donut on the planet. Finally got a chance to return. My dad and I drove through today and they were just horrible, almost inedible. First They no longer offer chocolate covered long-johns with cream center, huge mistake. Second the chocolate covering on the Bavarian custard ones we were offered was absolutely disgusting, almost chocolate liquid out of a can tasting, the custard had a funky after taste. They were cold and hard and the size of the long John has reduced by at least half. Everything about it other than the price and service was just plain horrible. Whoever now owns this joint needs to seriously reconsider their recipes and return it to the way it was. Sooo, sooo disappointed, sorry to say you've lost a couple old, old customers. read more
