    a variety of donuts in a display case
    Quin B.

    I dropped by here on a Sunday morning while in Tyler, Tx. I was very surprised by how good these donuts were. This is 100% the place to get great traditional classic donuts. They were like small bites of sunshine in my life. The dough was soft, light, moist, and slightly sweet. The glaze was thin, flaky, and sweet. The donuts also held up very well over a day without getting to dry, stale, or soggy from the glaze. I could not have been more satisfied with these delightfully tasty treats as the elation traveled from my mouth to my heart.

    We love visiting Donut Delight while in town! Always greeted with friendly and fast service- I don't know how she does it! Selections are plenty- husband loves the Earl Campbell hot link kolache while I really appreciate she carries no cheese pigs. The old fashioned donut is my favorite too! It's nice you can sit and enjoy a bite with coffee with the booths they have or take it to go. Highly recommend coming to this one than all the others!

    The donuts were so soft and fluffy. The egg croissant sandwich looked delicious. I got it for my husband and he ate it before I could get a photo LOL. They were sold out of a lot by 8 but was able to snag a few things. I definitely feel their donuts are better than an average donut shop so it was worth going a little bit out of the way.

    I contacted them for a custom donut order and they were very accomodating with customization. The donuts looked amazing and they were ver delectable I enjoyed the not overpowering sweetness of these donuts as some donuts give me headaches. Overall a great experience!

    I was craving some donuts here in Tyler, and this spot had the best reviews on yelp. My consensus? Friendly service, good variety of donuts, but on the sweeter/oily side on the donut spectrum. There's a good amount of parking, especially when you go early in the day. They share parking in a plaza with a bunch of other shops/stores, so don't worry about getting a spot here...even during peak times. Donut Delight is a tiny shop that seems to have a lot of local support. They sell donuts as well as breakfast tacos (which all have meat), kolaches and beverages. I enjoyed the donut holes, but they were on the soft side and left that oily aftertaste. I think I've been spoiled by Round Rock Donuts and my favorite donut shop in Austin. BUT their blueberry and old-fashioned donuts are pretty good. They bag all your donuts up for you, and service is with a sweet smile. Support your local businesses! It seems like Donut Palace is the chain to go to here in Tyler, but I'm all for supporting the stand-alones.

    My daughter started picking the cookies off. Of course.

    It's true that there are donut shops basically everywhere, but Donut Delight here on Amherst always has a great variety, even late into the morning. They have a ton of drink options too. Most importantly, the staff is extremely, and genuinely friendly. I came today and they saw my daughter trying to decide between a blue iced donut or a vanilla frosted one with little cookies on it. She decided on the blue one, we went to check out, and they gave her the cookie donut free anyway. And as I am writing this, a little boy came in to buy donuts for him and his mom in the car. He paid for the donuts and then casually grabbed a drink, just thinking that's how it goes, and the staff just laughed off the dollar they lost. I tried to pay for the drink on his behalf and they refused. Super nice folks, deserving of your business.

    I don't eat donuts but these donuts are delicious! The bacon maple donuts are the bomb.com, real bacon bits on top of a really good maple donut. Recommend it 100%. The sausage links are also super good, it's not a kolache which they also have but a tastier and bigger version. You only need to eat one to be full. When I asked the owner what her favorite donut is she said that she could eat the plain glazed every morning and I could see why. Everything is fresh, well displayed, and delicious! The people here are super friendly and welcoming. You have plenty of beverages to choose from along with decent coffee to go along with the donuts. It's open really early in the morning, which is nice, especially for people who have to be up at the crack of dawn. Plenty of parking in this plaza and it's very well lit.

    BACON!!

    I've been to many, many coffee shops through my early adult years, but the first I started going to…read moreon a frequent basis was The Foundry, located right off the downtown square of Tyler, sitting on the first floor just beneath Bethel Bible Church. Though The Foundry is ultimately connected to Bethel as their nonprofit, and many Bethel members spend time there, it misses the mark of being what feels like a "Christian coffee shop". Instead feels like a coffee shop that is driven by God, which is a very important difference to make. The Foundry is welcoming to all and is a place of peace for all. Their space is quite large, with plenty of tables of all sizes in the back, bar seating, and more. There is an outside coffee garden space that is peaceful if you happen to be around during the three weeks where Texas weather is bearable. There are also a few tables in front of the shop. There's a room that always displays local artists' work. The Foundry roasts all their own beans under Porch Culture. The team behind Porch Culture seems to have a genuine care and passion for coffee roasting, which they obviously benefits from. Certain days in the shop, you can see them roasting and experimenting in the back. I, of course, had to leave with a bag of beans to take back to Austin with me. Recently, upon my trip back home, I had a vanilla latte of theirs, which was great, plus a cinnamon roll, which was delectable. They can get pretty busy on a Sunday before a Bethel service starts, but their team usually seems on top of it most times I visit and are all very friendly and talkative. I missed The Foundry. From my time in high school when I'd go to study, or through college breaks where I used it to get out of the house and work on side projects, it was a great place to hide out, and it still is as good as I remember. RIYL: That warm coffee smell and a good co-working space.

    What is the best coffee in Tyler? What's my favorite coffee shop I've ever been to? The answer to…read moreboth is Brady's. A local Tyler establishment open for 30 years and named after the owner, Brady's Coffee was there before a Starbucks reached Tyler. Brady's might have been one of the first true coffee shops in Tyler, Texas, and it is definitely the longest running. Even in 2026, the coffee is as good as ever. For the most part, James Brady himself is slinging beans and creating masterpieces. Alongside Mr. Brady is his team of young baristas working under the maestro, taking orders and helping him where he needs it. Brady's hours have now expanded, but the quality has remained. Upon revisiting Tyler, I was very excited to go to Brady's again. As we walked through the Azalea and Brick Street districts of Tyler, we landed on the classic off white building with a green awning. Walking in, there were a few people ahead of us in line. Some ordering drip, some getting a specialty beverage, and me and my girlfriend with big smiles. The prices are still as affordable as ever, especially as places are charging $6.50 for a latte now. Brady's is selling drip for $2.50 for 16 oz, a latte for $4.50, and espresso for $2. What a steal. As we ordered, they asked if I wanted cinnamon on top of the latte, a Brady's classic. I obviously said of course. My girlfriend, with her cappuccino with a little bit of chocolate, was asked if she wanted chocolate shavings. She said no, and I told her she was crazy. She said yes after I protested her choice. We took a seat at the most iconic chairs in Brady's, the Sinners Only chair and the God Bless America chair. I got my girlfriend to sit in the Sinners chair without knowing. Inside, there's plenty of charming decor, from the "customer is rarely right" stickers. A little wait later, our drinks were brought to us. Grateful Dead played over the speakers. The music at Brady's is always on point. My girlfriend was very impressed by the cappuccino. To her, it tasted classic. The chocolate shavings were really nice according to her. My latte was also fantastic as always. What's amazing is how welcoming Brady's feels to all. It has this natural hometown feel and though the owner is strong in his religion, Brady's doesn't have Christian coffee shop "vibes" where only a certain group feels welcomed. We went back a few days later, and she got a mocha. She was impressed that it was a true mocha using real chocolate like cocoa powder versus chocolate flavorings or chocolate sauce. I told her Brady's does it differently. I dream about Brady's. There is this classiness to it that is missing from most places. It's not trying to be something it's not. It is never trying too hard. It's just a classic coffee shop. It feels like 2004 inside with a little touch of Global Village Coffeehouse. Maybe some of the best coffee I've ever had when you step back and take it all in. Thank you, James Brady. RIYL: Coffee. Like good coffee.

Opening just in 2021, Crema has become…read moreone of the top spots to get local coffee in Tyler and has built a large group of fans already. I think Crema is good, but to me, they are not really a coffee shop made to get your standard drinks at. Their specialty signature drinks are really what sells them. They are sugary, they are sweet, it's like a dessert in a cup at times. I categorize that style as "sweet treat coffee." Less about the coffee and more about coffee being the base of a sugary fun drink. That's their style, and it works for them. I think that can make a lot of people dislike them for not being as traditional as other coffee shops in the area, but that also opens the floor for people to go to Crema instead of a Dutch Bros/7 Brew and actually have an establishment with a cafe vs. just a drive-through. Their specialty holiday drinks can be pretty over-the-top and exciting as well. I remember they did a Cinnamon Toast Crunch drink once, and it was a behemoth of a drink. Crema opened after I had started going to college, but I've been quite a few times since it was the closest coffee shop to my parents' house for some time and my mom's co-workers loved going there. I would go every trip back and I started working it into my routine to hit up Crema before driving back to college every semester, getting their matcha. Before the matcha craze really took off, I tried Crema's Vanilla Oatmilk Matcha Latte, and I was pretty impressed with it because it tasted earthy but still sweet. I could best compare it to a flavor of Lucky Charms. I went to Crema when I was taking a quick trip to Tyler, and I ordered their iced Dolce with no whipped cream. I thought that it was a great treat after a long morning hike, but possibly too sweet on the wrong day. They now serve their drinks in those rounded bottom cups like La La Land does, which seems to be a trend, but it all makes sense for the concept of Crema. The spot is nice, the baristas are all very friendly, and it was buzzing with people that Sunday afternoon. The drive-through line was stretched super wide even though they were moving orders very quickly. It's great to see it doing well since I've left Tyler. RIYL: A sweet treat.
