    Pastry Case
    Minh D.

    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.

    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. This place has become our staple go-to on Saturday mornings. Have tried at least 6 other donut places in Austin, and we finally found our donut place!

    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.

    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!

It's a very popular place here and some donuts were out of stock for the day despite coming here not all that late in the day. I got two donuts. I got the Glazed Donut and the Brown Sugar with Salt. The Glazed one was all right at first as the tingling of salt mingled with the sweetness and it definitely came across as a novelty but by the end of the Glazed my enthusiasm diminished a bit as that was all it felt like I was tasting but salt. I don't think that was entirely it but that's all my taste buds were picking up. But now the Brown Sugar and Salt Donut... now that was a good one! The flavors blended much better and I had more than enough enthusiasm to finish it. I do like Brown Sugar very much so this was a Donut I can definitely recommend if you come here. I wanted another but I controlled myself. They have coffee drinks as well that are solid so they make a nice pairing as you nosh on your donuts and want some coffee to go along with it.

I prefer the mini but they're sold out a lot which shows you how spectacular this place is. My go to is the nutty valentine. The donut is always warm, fresh, and crispy. And the toppings of Nutella, cinnamon, and strawberries adds dimension & the perfect story. There is plenty of patio seating and lots of parking outside. There can be a line on the weekends and they tend to sell out so keep that in mind. The staff is friendly and service is quick!

    Doughnuts made to order out of an airstream, you say?…read more Looks like they used to offer mini versions but that side of the menu is all mask taped over. When we went our choices were $9-$10 donut base desserts. I say base because the toppings cover up the donut visually. Despite that, there's no covering that scrumptious taste and texture. Wowaweea. Yes, you feel your cells expand and pants tighten and it is for sure run club pre and post, but quite worth it. These divine donuts have that cakey interior I love so much. We had the Puddin': cream cheese icing, vanilla pudding, fresh bananas with nilla wafers. According to the menu. Ours didn't have any nilla wafers and the presentation was uneven, hence the four stars. I didn't miss the wafers. The icing and pudding were one goopy topping and the bananas slices were half scattered slices and half banana chunk that I had to separate. Side notes: Gourdough sits on a corner with parking spots that are not free. There's a pay via QR code so you'll need a phone or something to scan that. Boo for digital shackles. Next note- I feel like this is a low key meet up spot. Like the way they tried to make the first train cars on the MTA the singles car? There was a series of singles getting doughnuts and they were a little done up for the occasion. Who knows. With the little IG ready love seats and doughnuts made for sharing, you could walk away with extra sugar.

The donuts themselves were a bit of a letdown, though. Ours were a little stale -- now, in fairness, we did roll in later in the afternoon, so that might've played a part. But here's the thing: I'm a HUGE donut person. I can eat a donut basically any time of day, no matter how long it's been sitting out. So for them to fall a little flat, especially at the prices they're charging, I was expecting a bit more. That said, it was a nice place to sit and take a break while we were wandering around downtown. Would I make it a regular stop? Probably not -- but if you're on vacation and want to check it out for the experience, it's worth a peek.

Why am I going to one in Austin? Well, it's because I am a completeist and I try to go to as many Voodoo Doughnut locations as I can. Austin has two locations but Steve was only willing to tolerate going to one location so we went here. The doughnuts are going to be about the same as any other location however I did come across one that I haven't seen before. I am not sure if it was limited edition or what but I liked it. It was kind of take on a Black Forest Cake but it wasn't cherries that were on top of the doughnut and cream. It was more like blueberries. It was good and I am glad I tried it! I was really hoping to see the Ring of Fire Doughnut as it's my favorite but I didn't see it here. I got more of a powdered doughnut too as I do like their more basic doughnuts too. Steve got something that almost was like a Dubai-esque Chocolate Doughnut. It had pistachios on it and was a chocolate cake. That one was good too! Atmosphere is weird and quirky like all of their locations try to be which I can appreciate. So if you are addicted to Voodoo Doughnuts or have been wanting to try them but don't plan any PNW trips then definitely swing by the Texas locations. More and more locations are popping up all of the time!
