First off, I've read some critical reviews of the donuts and I have to say that if you're looking…read morefor a yeasty Homer Simpson style donut, this isn't the place to get that. The donuts here are croissant donuts so their texture is that of a croissant. Now that I got that out of the way-- Their donuts are flaky, soooft in the center, and full of flavor. These are best eaten warm! If you do take out, pop them in the microwave for 15 seconds or so and they taste just as good as they do in the shop. Our favorites: The Glazed Donut, the Cinnamon Sugar, the Chocolate Iced. My favorite seasonal donuts are the Key Lime, Raspberry Lemon, and Maple Bacon. Tip: their donut holes are huge and sold by the piece. You can order one of each flavor or all of the same. A good move if you're wanting something smaller or you want to try more than one. They have flaky, delicious kolaches made with meat from local barbecue joint Guess BBQ. Our favorite is the Turkey and Colby Jack. They serve Intelligentsia coffee. Not sure what blend it is but it is perfect with their donuts. Their branding is on point. Fun colors and design on everything. Inside is clean and it's been pretty quiet whenever we've been there. A good place to bring your books and study for a bit.

We stopped by this place the next day after trying those horrible places and didn't except much because of such low reviews but we took a chance. THANK GOODNESS we did !! So we got there at 12:30 and they close at 1pm, i was shocked how many of a variety they still had AND had these kolaches, that I've never seen, was a nice variety. We bought soooo many donuts, & kolaches to try. Omg, their glazed donuts were AMAZING ! My daughter thought they were over sweet but she picked the one with the most glaze lol. I ate hers and she tried one with less glaze and loved it. They have great dough ! It was my first time trying Kolaches, we've never tried these and I had a boudain (?) one. First time trying boudain also. It had so much flavor !! I was supposed to take pictures but we ate them fast lol We ate 10 donuts and 4 kolaches and when we were leaving we got 12 more donuts to take home. The people are the sweetest and they make my FAVORITE donuts !!

I just so happened to be driving through Gatesville and thought hmmm I'm going to see if they still have them. YES THEY DID!!!!!! These are the best ever!

I stopped by this place coming back into town. I wasn't expecting it to be so busy. The line was…read moreliterally almost out the door. And even on the gas station side the line was the same way. We entered the main shop, and they only had two employees working. One collecting the orders and one being the cashier. We were probably in line for about 30 mins until somebody else came to assist. They had a lot of choices to pick from. I ordered a regular sausage, jalapeño sausage w/ cheese, and a cinnamon roll. What stole the show for me was the cinnamon roll. I was concerned that it was barely had any frosting on top but it was perfect! I wasn't a fan of the jalapeño sausage but I did like the original plain. Maybe just too much bread for my liking. This place has a lot of unique pictures on the walls and different flavors of pastries to buy. Definitely stop by if you're on a road trip!

I could not believe and still cannot believe that prices are this high, but apparently they are here. And on top of that, the sausage egg and cheese kolache that was advertised with a sausage patty had a little tiny bits of sausage barely discernible. I won't be back.
