So sad they had to close. I used to live nearby, but moved to Dripping Springs. I still would drive the 25 minutes for the best breakfast tacos, the best yeast donuts, my husbands favorite chocolate cake donuts, kolaches.... I can't think of anything there that's not the best. And their salsa- superb! Can't find that flavor anywhere else. Does anyone know when they will reopen? It's killing me to wait. Here I am on a Sunday morning with 9 boys at my house and ready take the 25 minute drive, and shucks again read more

KC donuts has the absolute best donuts in Austin! The donuts are very fluffy and airy. They have been temporarily closed for a bit and I cannot wait for them to reopen! The family that owns/runs it is very kind as well. read more

Man do I love and MISS KC Donuts, the best donuts in Austin!!! I love the blueberry cake donuts, but the donut holes almost made me crash my car when I ate one on the drive home, still warm from the fryer. Try the donut holes when they reopen!!! 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. read more

Nicest owners ever. Large selection at very reasonable prices. Simple donuts shop with no frills and looks clean and tidy.

We miss KC Donuts sooo much! Best donuts and great breakfast tacos. Cannot wait for them to reopen this summer :)

I loved this place so much!! Unfortunately, they have been closed for months. My understanding is that there was a fire in the kitchen and they did not have it covered by insurance. So sad!!! read more

Ahh... after years of searching, I have found a rival for Round Rock Donuts. KC makes great raised donuts - I was in heaven when I bit into the strawberry glazed one. The dough is so soft and gives into the bite... a heavenly experience. Their cases of donuts look all freshly made, not like they have been sitting our for half a day. I love freshly made anything and this checks the box. I also tried Boston creme, which was a thicc donut. It was tasty but I wish it was a little smaller so it could be more flavorful/manageable to eat. The cake donuts are goo, not great. They are too sweet, especially the maple one. My partner tried their kolache and he loved it. The workers were very helpful and even though there was a line, it moved quickly on the weekend day that we dropped by. read more

The perfect powdered donut holes do exist. Crispy and powdery goodness, here! They have kolaches pigs in a blanket, tacos and other savory items aside from the donuts. Friendly and fast staff.

Cute little donut shop on Brodie Lane. There is always a line but it moves quickly. I am not a huge sweets fan but I wish I was because everything in the case looks amazing. I got a jalapeño and cheese kolache and it was fantastic. read more

These are hands down the best donuts and kolaches I've had in my life. Not only that, but the service is always above and beyond. I've been coming here since I was a kid and the owners would always throw in extra donut holes. It's truly an amazing small business. A few weeks ago I tried to go and realized they were closed down. It's no exaggeration when I say I was heartbroken. I really hope they reopen soon and aren't gone forever. I dream about those donuts. read more

This is my favorite donut shop in Austin, hands-down. It's local, reasonably priced, a variety of options, and no where has donut holes as amazing as KC Donuts. Must try if you love donuts! read more

The donuts and breakfast sandwiches are a treat, every time. Concerned that they have not opened again since their fire last October. I hope they know they have customers who would love to help get them up and running again, so let us know! read more

Been going to KC Donuts for 25 years they are by far the best donuts & kolaches in Southwest Austin. I always say that they're hidden gem. My kids have grown up with these donuts and now take their babies to eat their donuts. I hope they open soon. We miss them so much!! read more

We love this place our whole family. I've got a couple brothers come in from out of town just so they can eat these donuts, especially during the holidays very sad that it closed down and we're hoping that it will start back up again. The Knepps (5125764623) please call and let us know if you're going to open back up somewhere or do a food trailer, we just really like to know you are the best donut etc. shop there was!!! Include read more

KC is the BEST donuts in Austin. Great kolaches and breakfast croissants. I miss them so much I hope they reopen !!

I noticed today they have a Remodel permit on the windows. I think it's the real deal to reopen! The permit says it's for interior only, not exterior so that would make sense that it'll stay as KC Donuts. Let's hope they'll reopen! read more

Wow! I can't believe I slept on this place! It came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Some of the best customer service I've experienced in ATX! A small, cozy, but welcoming environment. As I was leaving, the shop filled up and out the door. I tried the maple bacon donut and bacon, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich. Both were delicious. They threw in a few donut holes, too. The internet was down so I couldn't pay with card. I had cash on me, but not enough. I did have some more cash in the car, and I was going to get it, but she smiled and said to take it and enjoy. Definitely going back, but with more cash to leave a tip. read more

Easy to see why KC Donuts always has a line! I literally see people either a) come in and take the wait or b) step out of their cars, see the line & leave. KC Donuts has more than just donuts (& those donuts aren't basic either). KC Donuts offers fresh-to-be-made Breakfast Tacos, a variety of gourmet donuts (maple bacon, lemon, blueberry lemon, etc), kolaches, AND MORE. My personal favorite is a classic-- the glazed donut. However, I highly highly recommend ordering the massive Texas-Sized Donut Holes!!!! Also, the Breakfast Tacos and salsa were perfect. You basically order what you want to be made. It does take a bit of time since once again, these need to be made. Kolaches were meh to me, as the ratio of bread/sausage had too much breading. They also have Pigs-in-a-Blanket, but these babies run out fast! Please note: KC Donuts is a small mom & pop shop owned by immigrants. Super sweet people. Be patient & kind, as they are doing their best! read more

KC Donuts - Maple glazed donut! - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

So awesome and so delicious fresh yummy friendly and will absolutely brighten up your day We have moved up to Pflugerville, and have been away from the neck of the woods, but totally worth the drive on a beautiful Sunday afternoon read more

Austin has some bougie donut places, but spending $4-$6 per donut is a little ridiculous when places like KC Donuts are just as good, if not better, and much more affordable. The maple bacon donut was superb, as were the donut holes and the blueberry donut. My partner also loved his standard chocolate glazed donut. The donuts were airy with a nice crispy outside and not too oily. I'd argue they should pull back on the sugar a little, but that would be my only tweak. I also was served immediately and probably spent about 120 seconds in the store total, which is perfect for grab and go. I'm conflicted on whether I will go back (soon), because this place is too good, too convenient, and I'm trying to watch my weight and sugar intake. I don't have the will power to stick to one donut when they are this good. read more

They used to have the best raised donuts in Austin, but for reasons I can't even begin to guess, they no longer have raised donuts at all. Employee told us today they sometimes have filled ones but never have normal ones anymore. Their kolaches and old fashion and cake donuts are fine, but the raised ones are the entire reason we have always come here. Unfortunately will not be returning. read more

Best donuts in the area. Really always went to a competitor that was local and good.. but not as good as KC. Love the donut holes, very good glazed donut. read more

I've been coming to KC donuts for years, and they have been consistently the best donuts I've had in Austin. Service is kind and friendly. The store itself is nothing but a hole in the wall, but what more do you need for a donut shop?! Try the maple bacon old fashioned! You won't be sorry. read more

Incredible donuts and a line out the door. You know you're in the right place! What a treat. read more

Great place. Donuts kolaches and breakfast tacos. Every once in a a while they throw in some donut holes

KC Donuts is THE GO-TO on So-Bro for breakfast sandwiches/tacos, kolaches and other goodies when it needs to be quick/ on the run. We've been here several times, and the service is quick with a great selection of donuts and other sweet treats. read more

I wake up craving their croissant sandwiches!! One time I walked in and they did not have anymore sandwiches, but I came back 5 mins later and they had restocked! Their donuts are so fluffy and soft. Like I'm biting into a sugary cloud. I love the idea of Texas sized donut holes. Service is amazing. Everyone is always very nice. I appreciate the fact that they always ask if you want your sandwich warmed up (I always forget). 10/10 would recommend this place!! read more

Best in town by far! My wife and I have been coming to this location for years, and we have never been dissatisfied. I highly recommend checking out this great spot. read more

I only come here for their gigantic donut holes. Been here a few times, and I am a sucker for their donut holes. Especially when they come out fresh early in the morning. By the end of the day, the quality isn't quite the same...so I highly suggest going when you have an early start to your day! I've been here solo as well with other people, and the majority of us think that the donuts here are on the sweeter side. My go-to donut is the old-fashioned donut, and I also feel like their old fashion is a bit too soft. I'd like a little bit of a crunchier bite, but that's just me being picky. They also serve breakfast tacos, but they ALL have meat in it...so my vege-eaters, beware! They also have a no credit card rule if your order is less than $5 I believe, so make sure you have that dinero on you. Service has always been efficient and nice, so I would come back again for the folks. Their donut shop is unassuming with only a few seating options indoors, but some more outdoors. No wifi, but they do have a fridge of drinks like coconut water and juices, and they do prepare hot coffees and smoothies. read more
