I usually get a coffee too, but that's hit or miss depending if you get an espresso drink (sometimes espresso is burnt), but I won't knock any points off because everything else is THAT good.

I have been frequenting Gourdough's original food trailer on South 1st for a long time. I got a…read morecraving for one of their donuts and decided to make a trip. Gordough's is one of those places that fully commits to indulgence. I was able to place my order online and schedule for pick up. The order was ready when I arrived. Parking was a bit challenging and the lot was full and they charge for parking. Service was quick, casual, just good energy and fast turnaround. I ordered my tried and true Miss Shortcake with their famous cake donut with cream cheese icing and fresh cut strawberries. The donut is so indulgent and was served warm with the most delectable flavor combinations. Tried the Son of a Peach with cream cheese icing, spiced peach filling, cake mix topping, cinnamon and sugar with honey butter. This one was a bit too overindulgent and sweet for my liking but was definitely worth a try. Portions are huge and can be shared as the donut is not as good warmed over. If you're in the mood for dessert and not think about calorie count, then this is the place.

Round Rock Donuts - The Morning Miracle…read more Stopped by around 8:30am and the drive‑thru line was wrapped around the block like they were giving away free Teslas. I figured I'd be there long enough to finish a podcast, pay a bill, maybe rethink my life choices. Nope. These folks must have personally trained the crew over at Chick‑fil‑A, because we ordered, paid, and had hot doughnuts and doughnut holes in our hands in just a few minutes. Zero stress. Zero delay. Pure breakfast efficiency. And the service? Friendly, fast, and on point -- the kind that makes you feel like they actually enjoy being the heroes of your morning. If you want fresh, warm doughnuts without sacrificing half your day, this is the spot. Round Rock Donuts still runs the game.

Oh, Round Rock you had me at donuts. Round Rock Donuts has…read morebeen around since 1926 and it's easy to understand why they remain a staple in the area. They're known for specific specialties such as the "Texas" donut which is as big as my butt. Ok well, maybe not but close. It's a 14" donut! The cinnamon rolls are just as ginormous. They have regular-sized donuts, donut holes, kolaches, and mini-donuts. Another specialty is their glazed yellow donut (color from fresh eggs). Yeast-risen donuts. The double chocolate (cake style) mini-donut is my favorite. The bakery offers walk-up window service as well as drive-thru. They get really busy and are open 4:30 am-6:30 pm. Lines start to form as soon as kids get out of school for the day. RR Donuts are absolutely worth the hype!

White Cream is a necessity. Unavailable. Ugh…read more I went way early in the morning. All the donuts were fresh and moist. The Glazed Yeast (The Prime Donut)......... if a donut maker can't do glazed, you might as well forget about the rest. Fantastic. Perfect. The glaze that flakes though moist and a donut that slightly squishes, pops slightly back and has that perfect texture....... And yes Flavor! Perfect Glazed. Well done. A good size and not a weak donut. I did a fancy chocolate cake donut of the Butterfinger kind. A fantastic blend of a good chocolate cake and the touch of peanut from the crisp. A good combo of about 50/50 share of flavor. Focusing on the cake donut resulted in a favorable chocolate cake donut. Freshness is key. Lastly was a buttermilk bar. Good, just good. I know where to get great. You'll have to read my other donut posts to find out where. Just good. Glaze could improve and the complete cool through would be helpful. The dough was alright, not bad. Good ingredients and a nice flavor. On a level of poor, fair, good to great........ Good.

We wanted to get the old dirty bastard, but they were apparently out on a Sunday morning. I thought the cinnamon doughnut would be good, but it was not. It was dry and didn't have a good flavour. The dirt doughnut had generic Oreo pieces on it, and it was okay. I felt like the doughnuts looked better than they tasted, but it was still a good experience to go to their 6th street location. They are open extended hours.

My favorite ice cream flavors have been ube and the Earl grey but you really can't go wrong. They have limited parking spots but often people will park along the side of the road when it's busy. Theres a few seats in front of the shop and a cute lighted outdoor area with picnic benches to the side. Highly highly recommend a visit, especially given how late they are open at night and night time soft serve is the best! The only thing I always struggle with is not getting the taiyaki with ice cream drip all over me, so I highly recommend getting a cup to flip it over into!

I was craving Ube and might have gone a bit overboard on ordering dessert because they had so many Ube options. The building is colorful and decorated in bright pink with fun artwork and decor for an uplifting vibe. The line moved quickly and the service was friendly fast and efficient. I was able to place my order and pay with Apple Pay. I ordered the Taiyaki Sundae with black sesame and ube swirl soft serve served in a fish shaped mochi Belgian style waffle with Oreo dust on top. You can customize your sundae with filling like organic red sweet beans, Nutella or custard and toppings like Oreo dust, fruity pebbles or rainbow sprinkles. I ate this on site and the nutty black sesame balanced the sweet ube perfectly, and the Oreo topping added the best crunch. They had a variety of mochi donut flavors. Lucky for me, nothing was sold out today. I ordered the Oreo ube mochi donut and ube milk tea to-go. I ate the mochi donut later that day and it was probably my least favorite item from my order. It had the chewy mochi texture however I didn't get enough of the rich ube flavor. It had somewhat of a bitter aftertaste and the Oreo overpowered the ube. I drank the ube milk tea the next day and it was creamy, smooth, and not overly sweet. I really enjoyed the flavor profile of the beverage and would order it again. Overall, enjoyed my selections and will be back to try more dessert options and flavors from one of the most unique Asian dessert spots in Austin!

Regardless, it looks like S-H is also a neighborhood cult favorite as people kept coming in & they were slowly selling out of individual items. They move fast, so you should know your order pretty quickly. But they also were flexible when I changed my mind on one thing. They have some beverages you can pick up from two coolers to the right of the cash register diagonal from the counter. We took a Robotaxi to the location so didn't deal with parking, but I can see how that can become difficult.

We were on Rainey street for SXSW and I had seen several people with the pink bag with a dog stamped on the front and wanted to see what all the hype was about. We came across the pink trailer with the dog logo and decided to give it a try. Service was quick and friendly, I was able to place my order and they accepted Apple Pay. Everything was made fresh to order, so there's a bit of a wait, but it's worth it when you get them hot. I tried the Italian cream cake donuts. They have specialty flavors that were $1 more and all of them were appealing to me. Unfortunately, you can not order a sampler pack of different flavors and have to just pick one flavor which is why I am giving 4 stars. My recommendation would be to offer a sampler pack as to not have to commit to one flavor. The pink dog stamped package came with multiple tiny donuts inside. They were freshly made, soft, and served warm. My friend ordered the regular donuts and I have to say that I didn't notice the Italian cream cake flavor as much as I would have liked compared to the original. There was a good balance of sweetness and a creamy, slightly rich profile without feeling overly heavy. The mini size is perfect because you can try a few without feeling like you've gone overboard and it is great for sharing. Overall, Little Lucy's is a solid dessert stop when you want something warm, fresh and satisfying. I would not recommend paying extra for the specialty flavors like Italian cream cake donuts and will just go with the original donuts in the future.

The apple fritters are as big as a man's head. I love the double chocolate ones. Never tried the maple bacon. They have coffee and beverages and breakfast tacos, but I think the breakfast tacos taste a little sweet, like they got a little bit of powdered sugar on them just because they are made in a donut shop. This is not a criticism, just an observation. KC Donuts was damaged by a fire in October 2024 but I am anxiously waiting for them to reopen! No other donut will do.

They looked sweet to me at first but they weren't at all. They were the absolute perfect ratio of sweetness and dough. Then the texture was confusing because it seemed chewy but not chewy. Then for me there was a funnel cake after taste which I quite enjoyed - but without the greasy taste. They somehow seemed light and simple yet flavorful. A mystery for sure!

The interior is cute, with a few tables and chairs that make it a comfortable spot to stop in. Service was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. The donuts are especially fun to eat because they can easily be separated into individual pieces, kind of like donut holes, so they're great for sharing or enjoying on your own.
