I grew up in Amarillo and have always loved The Donut Stop. Anytime I come to town, I have to stop in for a Cherry Glazed Donut. My family loves the chocolate! This location is always clean and friendly workers. I wish there was a location here in Chicago. Do yourself a favor and grab a few cherry and chocolate donuts when you are in town. read more

I went through the drive through but this location looks like a cute diner! I heard the cherry glazed and maple glazed are great. I also love blueberry cake donuts and apparently they are known for this! My husband has been coming here since high school and highly recommends! Service was great! Everyone was so kind! Definitely get the jalapeño cheese kolache! read more

Donut Stop - Donuts Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Went through the drive-thru for a half dozen. The lady at the window was nice, but the donuts were cold and not like the usual "melt in your mouth" texture, the whole reason we go to the Donut Stop. They were super thick and very heavy. Totally disappointed today. If you have someone new making the donuts, it shows! read more

Stop by this morning the lady was not very friendly at all and I the donuts she gave us tasted like day old donuts! Such a horrible experience!! read more

Oh my gosh - we spent 2 days in Amarillo & had these donuts both days!! Great, fresh donuts!!

Excellent service. Donuts are great. Good place to get some donuts for the office or the grandkids at the house.

These donuts are really good. The service was also amazing! We will be back when we pass through again.

I enjoy good donuts but sadly these are average at best. To be perfectly honest they tasted of being day old donuts. Not soft at all hard and stale like. I ordered a buttermilk cake and maple crunch. They make crunch flavor saved this from being a 2* experience. Additionally, I read several comments stating the staff is rude. I would say my experience they weren't rude but just not warm and welcoming. They came off as not wanting to be working there. read more

Terrible tasting donuts; tasted like burnt chemicals; not worth it to go there. Especially overpriced

Went here with the expectation that it would be as good as the reviews. Was sadly disappointed though. The staff was abrasive and extremely rude. The donuts looked fresh and delicious, but I'll let you judge what they gave us compared to the pictures. Will not be going back. read more

Donut Stop - a bakery with trays of donuts - Donuts Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Stopped by to try this place out before making my way back to Dallas. These are some good donuts. Big, fluffy, soft, and the glazes treated great. Staff is friendly and i was able to get in and out pretty quick. If you're ever in Amarillo, give this place a shot! read more

Such amazing service and GREAT donuts and kolaches!! The guy at the front was so nice!!! Thank you!

Fabulous and friendly! According to the employee who welcomed me and gave me a descriptive tour of all the fresh donuts in the rack, this location is the original. Just off route 40 at Bell, it was a convenient way to cure my curiosity after passing two other locations with big tall signs on our way thru town. I asked if Donut Stop was everywhere in the area and he replied that's it's everywhere in Amarillo with 7 locations. (This employee might be the owner as well) So after I knew the selections, I asked what was popular. Apparently the cherry donuts are seriously cherry flavored so people who are into that get their cherry fix there. That's not me though. Lemon filled, cinnamon glazed, cinnamon frosted, Apple fritters looked great if that's your thing too. And if you aren't in the mood for sweet there's a breakfast sandwich and sausage kolache (pronounced KOH-LOTCHEE) which is a sausage wrapped in a bread dough. After this thorough analysis of all the possibilities I chose a cinnamon glazed. It was warm and fluffy - so soft maybe with a little more egg than the usual donut and probably a finer flour than standard. The glaze tastes fresh like it might have a touch of lemon. I grabbed a cup of the coffee they keep in glass carafes on the burner old-school style - which was surprisingly smooth and a little nutty. Gas station just across the street and right next to on/ off ramps for route 40 made this a perfect stop for a quick morning bite. I left satisfied. The covid compliance was comfortable. And there was plenty of covid compliant seating if you aren't in a rush. Seems like a historical gem not to be missed. Established in 1974 I hope this place sees many years in its future! read more

Weekend tradition. Best donuts ever!!! Glazed, chocolate, and cherry are my favs. Donut holes too!

As soon as you step in the door you smell the sweet aroma of freshly baked donuts. We were just passing through Amarillo and decided to stop and we were not disappointed. Leo tended to us and he was so friendly and engaged in conversation with us. We will definitely be back when we pass through amarillo. read more

Donut Stop - Chocolate Chip Donut - Donuts Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

This place was fabulous! The donuts were delicious, the price was less than we expected, and the place had a cool retro feel.

I'm pretty sure I had some leftover donuts from the 1947 grand opening. How to you serve burned stale donuts? Even the kolache sausages were tough and chewy. The donut holes were the only edible thing. read more

Kolache was stale. Apple fritter and blueberry dough was thick rather than airy. Disappointing.

I had the rental car and others didn't so I got to be chauffer. My oldest wanted to find a Starbucks but none of us knew where one was. We were told this place had good coffee so we stopped here instead. There was a counter where you bought the donuts and another counter where you could order coffee and sandwiches. I wasn't hungry but those who got coffee and donuts said they were really good. We got ours to go but there were lots of tables to sit at--probably all full during their rush hours in the mornings I bet. I would have liked to go back there again but ran out of time. Next time! read more

They didn't have much selection, they were out of everything we would have liked. None of the available tables were clean. Staff was not pleasant, no coffee available. read more

Coffee was better than I read on another review. Doughnuts are amazing heavy and full of flavor. Jelly filled must weigh half a pound. Not crowded and a perfect I 40 location. Glad we made our last stop for a Texas doughnuts here. read more

Donut Stop - Entrance with budding trees. - Donuts Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

We stopped in from out of town very excited to get donuts. And our sausage and cheese kolache's weren't very good overcooked maybe held too long. read more

The donuts here are pretty popular and my friends want me to always grab them donuts when we tell them we are going here. Also the people who work here are super nice! The cherry donut is pretty popular but I didn't really care for it read more

Donut Stop - A cherry donut - Donuts Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Super nice crew and the donuts are absolutely amazing.. A must try. I will definitely be back

Amongst my favorite food groups is a chocolate frosted cake donut! Unfortunately, in my neck of the woods this is not a popular donut and typically so dry full immersion in chocolate does not rescue the dryness. The donut stop blows them all away. Simply the best chocolate frosted cake donut I have ever had! Fluffy, moist with no hint of over frying. Great coffee and service. read more

The donuts are still good. The staff is continuously getting ruder and ruder. I am beginning to feel as if customers annoy them. Management needs to look closely at this, just "good donuts" won't make it, teach your grown adult staff to greet you at the counter and how to say "good morning" and to be helpful...yes, the adults!!! read more

It's hard to improve something that is so popular and familiar, yet the Donut shop has delivered. Their Donuts are very such and delightful. A staple to my Amarillo trips. read more

Favorite donut place when traveling through Amarillo! Great coffee, too! Convenient locations and easy to access from I40. Been here several times in 2021. read more

I just LOVE the Donut Stop!! This is Amarillo's local favorite for donuts. If you're visiting or new to Amarillo you must give it a try!! I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the blueberry cake is the donut known to fame here! I promise you won't be disappointed. I always get a bluberry cake, cherry, glazed, or donut holes! Oh and don't forget their coffee. It's not the fancy shmancy stuff, it's the good home town diner coffee, just the way I like it! If all of these things haven't won you over, then the prices will!! I'm not sure about all the locations but the Donut Stop on I-40 and Bell has a glass window where you can see your donuts being made. read more

donuts and fast service. They aren't the best, in my opinion. I find them to be a little dry most of them time, though.

Every time I come to Amarillo to visit my brother I always stop in this Donut Stop specifically for some glazed donuts. The donuts here are by far the best I have ever had. Damn these donuts are just super soft and scrumptious especially when are warm and fresh of the rack. I would literally throw down half a dozen of glazed donut (4.50$) and still crave for more. I wish they have a place like this in Dallas. read more

Best cake donut of my life. Sorry that's all I want to write. Yelp doesn't think this is enough. But it's to the point. (Sour cream, cinnamon, and chocolate were all incredible.) Light and satisfying. read more

Maybe we came on a bad day - father's day 2016 - but I was so disappointed!! The building looked amazing and the parking lot was full but when you entered the atmosphere was lost. There was no greeting, no music, and the only decor was printed off posters. The service was sub par when you made it to the counter - again no greetings or smile; just a what do you want? No napkins were given even with two kids in tow and the donuts were heavy, and kolaches burnt. So much potential. read more

I don't like donuts, so what the heck am I doing here? I was hungry, it was open and it looked like a really cool place. And it was close to the freeway. Glazed donut and Bavarian cream were good. Uber driver said a local guy started with one and now there's a bunch in Amarillo. Cool. read more

The donuts are really good here! I would've given them a 5 star rating, except the coffee is horrid! Don't let the big "gourmet coffee" sign fool you like it did us. It's coffee-flavored water and it's terrible. I took one sip in the parking lot and poured it out on the grass. Go for the donuts, but go elsewhere for coffee!! read more

This really was a memorable place! Delicious donuts! We bought half a dozen fresh. I mean *FRESH*! You can watch them make the donuts through the glass windows into the kitchen. The cherry and chocolate iced donuts were scrumptuous! My mom opted for glazed, which she said were great! Kevin chose the maple iced, his favorite, and he loved 'em! We all ordered coffees as well. The total for our bill was only about $6! Take that, Starbuck's! ;o) read more

I can't say enough good reviews about this place. The staff is always friendly, the donuts are still the best I have ever had in my life. I miss this place and go everytime I am back home visiting. I do not like that it is only in Amarillo (and should come out West to give these craptastic donut places a run for their money), but it is truly one of the best places to go for a donut. Apple Fritters are also highly recommended here, even though I am a Cherry fan. :) read more

Donut Stop is EXCELLENT. They make amazing, fresh donuts. I like every single type of donut they offer. My friends also report that the coffee is pretty good (I'm not a coffee guy). This place is so good and so cheap that they ran Krispy Kream (which I hate anyway) out of town almost immediately. read more

Incredibly yummy donuts and super friendly service. You can only get their yummy cherry donuts in Amarillo. Every time we pass through, we make a quick stop. Super good!!!!! read more

Let me start off by saying how sorry I feel for the population of Amarillo. Yes, these donuts were ok, but if these are worth the hype and the wait in the restaurant wait until you go to a real city with real restaurants. Even the coffee was watered down. I have never experienced such bland food as I did my weekend in Amarillo. read more
