I think they have the best old fashioned Cake donuts I have had in many years, and their breakfast sandwiches are great as well. Its also a pleasure to see the always smiling lady/owner behind the counter as well. And their huge donut holes can't be beat!!! read more

Best donuts in Austin! The service could be better but whatever the donuts are crazy good especially the old fashion glaze

Yummy donuts and the best strawberry glazed and old fashion donuts in Austin! Service is fast and people are nice.

Really, truly the best donuts (and donut holes) in Austin. Hmm, maybe in Texas? My husband was in St. David's South after an auto accident and I wanted to take donuts to the trauma team, the ER department and 7th floor staff to thank them for helping him. I didn't get home till late and couldn't order in advance (the proper thing to do, obviously, for a large order). I arrived just when they opened and a few people were already there, but they took the time to make me 3 big boxes of donuts and donut holes of all different kinds. Of course I had to have my own little bag of donut holes, powdered sugar, cinnamon and oh yeah the BIG yeast donut holes. I was in heaven and the staff at St David's thought I was maybe an angel:} Ha! Make yourself happy. Make other happy. Be good to yourself, get your donuts at KC Donuts. The only issue is that you may find yourself obsessing over them, so you just have to return and get more donuts! read more

Wonderful donut, quick, efficient service, and wow do they know how to make a pretty display! There were too many varieties to choose from in one go, which was heartbreaking. The Oreo one, the cakey boys, and the kolaches were all top tier. I just wish the old fashioned chocolate donut was a little less oily. Maybe just an off day? Worth trying again! read more

Yum! Finally made it down South to go here. And boy and I'm glad I did. I mean donuts are all the same aren't they, absolutely not and K C Donut is one that will show you it's different. There is something for everyone. The donut holes here are fluffy lovable balls of dough they are the lightest things ever and super tasty. The cinnamon roll here is absolutely delicious. It's huge too! The fritter is also amazing. I also got a croissant sandwich as well and it was amazing too! The owner? lady was super nice! She was patient and they have such a great selection of items that I wish I lived closer or they opened one up north near me! Great and delicious all around. The price is fantastic too! Love it! I will always stop by if I'm down South and they are open. I would tell everyone to go here! read more

Great service. They overcharged me and ran out to let me know and fixed the issue. Their donuts just look fresh! Standard donut shop feel

Awesome little stealth donut place with excellent donuts and sneaky spicy kolaches. It has that old Austin feel I treasure and worry is leaving us as the days pass. The only reason I give it four stars is that there's usually a limited selection so I haven't had a chance to really experience all their donut magic. And no, I don't show up hungover at noon expecting fresh donuts, I usually roll in around 8/8:30 on the weekends. read more

It's a small shop full of deliciousness! I am so coming back here. Lots of great choices. We picked up an order of 30 dozen doughnut holes for a child's birthday party. They were good size and a big hit. I really want to come back and try their sandwiches and that bacon covered beauty! read more

KC Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Tacos are delicious! Donuts are way too good. And the staff is super friendly. I had to have an order ready to be picked up at 7:30 a.m. They let me put in an order the day before so it was ready to go right when they opened. read more

A surprise full of awesomeness. Zero frills at this spot. It's delicious small inside and tastefully simple. Our favs were the oversized donut holes! Wow! Sprinkled were a hit too. I had a croissant blast sandwich. Made earlier and reheated, whatever, it was still good. We got a tons and only spent $11. Can't lose! read more

KC Donuts is supposed to be one of the best places in Austin. It's as good as any other place we tried in Austin, but like all the others, it's not that great. We tried a number of their donuts, as well as apple fritters. All were just OK. read more

The best donut I've had in a long time! Their cake donut had the perfect balance of donut to icing. Highly recommended. read more

KC Donuts - Chocolate peanut cake donut - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

The Glazed Donut Holes & Cinnamon Rolled are Huge & Tasty and the Breakfast Tacos are the Best

BEST donuts in Austin! I'll go out of my way to get them. Try'em out! You won't be disappointed!

The donuts are better than Shipley's. I give them that. But their customer service is not good at all. The lady with the sunglasses is rude and the guy just stands there staring. Unfortunately this is the main donut shop in our area and I don't even feel like walking in there anymore, because they never have anything but cake donuts from when they open. It's a frustrating venture every time. As for their hours, that's wrong too. They say they open at 6:30, but they don't actually open until 7 or later. Even then, they're not ready for a real donut order. Sigh.... I won't be back. read more

AHHHHH MAZING but damn.. when do they open?! You'll find several things online but nothing is accurate. Even the door opening times have been removed and the times open here are incorrect too. I know this because at 615 I drove past an open Shipley's thinking it'd be worth it to wait 15 min until KC opened at 630. One hour later at 7:15 they flipped on the light. Yay! The lady confirmed that they 'usually try to open between 7-715'. I forgot to ask her what days they're closed but I think it's Monday, Tuesday, or both. Also they had everything available except regular glazed donuts and donut holes. Of course the only reason I was there She told me that 'regular donuts aren't ever ready until about 8:30' SOB! Since I work a 9-5 I suppose I'll never get to enjoy Either way, hope this helped!! I couldn't find accurate info anywhere and I had a full hour in the car to research too lol read more

KC Donuts - Hours - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Way over priced and $5 min on credit card. Walked in for a single apple fritter, $4 plus tax. Won't sell it to me b/c of a $5 min credit card limit. Shipley's is across the street and apple fritters are much cheaper. I've tried KC before years ago but the food and service was horrible. A friend insisted I give them another shot...epic fail. read more

Jennica is a maestro of donuts! She is inventive with new flavors yet consistent with old standards. New to me German Chocolate. All the cake donuts were light as a feather with a nice crispy exterior. Probably the best raised glazed I ever had. Love this donut shop and happy it is so close to home! read more

KC Donuts - A dozen delicious donuts plus some holes thrown in for good measure! - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Best doughnut shop in Austin.friendly staff very clean restaurant definitely delicious will be back

The donut holes from KC give me life. Seriously, probably the best donut holes I've ever had.

OH MY GOODNESS!! Why did I wait so long ??? As the donut stalker that I pretend to be, I have failed by not coming here years ago!!! Wow wow wow ! I have read previous reviews and I agree with my fellow 5 star helpers ! This place is way better than RR donuts and their glazed donut is the lightest, fluffiest piece of glazed heaven EVER! There is no wonder why this place has a line out the door all weekend and probably struggles a bit to keep the donuts coming out as fast as they are flying off the shelf ! DUH!! people are off on the weekends and with donuts this freakin good , if you don't want to wait , don't complain !! Geez! Some people!! I ordered a half dozen donuts, 1 dozen holes and couldn't resist the maple bacon donut (I know I have a problem) all for 9.75! Great deal, friendly service and delicious donuts !! This place is a must try ! read more

I was eating practically next door at Evangeline's Cafe, a wonderful place by the way, when I saw I was next to KC Donuts and decided to stop in for some kolaches. Unfortunately they were out of the kolaches so I decided to get a half dozen donut holes and a couple of old fashioned donuts instead. We must have had a communication error because I ended up with only one old fashioned donut but it was good. I split it with my daughter. Maybe if I get back to Evangeline's I'll stop in KC Donuts again and see if they have any kolaches. In the meantime I I happened to be driving past another donut shop down the street so I went ahead and got some there to hold me. The lady behind the counter was very nice and the donuts were good. read more

I go here about every Sunday. It's a mom 'n pop stop and a hidden gem if you're looking for a humble, but delish, morning meal. There's often a line out the door because these unpretentious donuts are legit the fluffiest. No weird or creative toppings--just good donuts. The fresh yeast donuts almost get crushed when you pick them up because they're so soft. I recently tried their blueberry old-fashioned cake donut, and may have found a new favorite! The donut holes are ginormous and are a delightful combination of crisp outer layer and soft inside. I usually grab a breakfast taco and an iced coffee, in addition to a donut, and it's around $6. I haven't tried them, but there are kolaches, croissant breakfast sandwiches, frappes, and other items to choose from. read more

KC Donuts - Simple yet magical. - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

KC Donuts - Melts in your mouth! - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Hands down the best donuts in Central Texas. If I could give 6 stars I would. The customer service is always great and the donuts are always fresh. They don't have an over complicated selection which is hard to find nowadays. Simple, delicious and fresh every time we go. read more

This place is tiny. Tiny tiny. From the counter to the exit were six people in line. We almost had to wait outside.We anticipated waiting as the person at the counter seemed to make friendly small talk with everyone. The service was surprisingly fast for the one person behind the register, and the donuts were great! You really can't go wrong with a plain glazed donut to be fair. I definitely want to go back to try something else. It really hit the spot and the prices are good. read more

Solid Cali style donuts. Cake, glaze, old fashioned. People paying $1 for a good donut and expecting 5 star service from someone's aunty are comedy. read more

100% best donuts in South Austin. Going anywhere else is silly. They sell out of the best donuts early on the weekends so don't sleep in.

DAYUM, DAYUM! DAYUM! I found KC kind of by accident. Kind of.... I mean, I was on a diet and craving donuts and I accidentally searched for donuts on yelp when I was visiting my friend in Austin, so it kind of fell on my lap. In a city full of overpriced fancy donuts with cereal and other unnecessary toppings, KC takes you back to awesome basic glazed donuts at fair prices. There are the fluffiest motherf#$% donuts I've ever had. It's like eating a delicious deep fried fattening cloud covered in sugar. My friends loved them, and they are kind of mad at me for finding them because they live less than a mile away and they are now addicted. We ate KC's 2 days on a row. We tried their glazed, chocolate, chocolate eclair, giant cinnamon rolls, egg and cheese croissants, pig in a blanket and maple/bacon donuts. Everything was incredible. You will find a line around the place, but it goes fast and it's totally worth it. Also, if you live in Austin you are probably used to long lines everywhere anyway, so go now. read more

The selection was weak, nothing exciting. They have the same selection at the H.E.B. The two donuts I had were ok, definitely not great. The lady behind the counter had no personal and I'm pretty sure she was annoyed that I was there. I was the only person in the shop at 8:00am so not sure why you be rude to your only customer. Won't be back. read more

I absolutely love this place. All the doughnuts are wonderful. The yeast doughnuts of Austin! . It's a classic traditional doughnut and they have just the recipe for such a tasty treat. The lady that owns / works here is super sweet!!!! She has been serving me for over the past 10-15 years and always tosses me a doughnut hole or two for the ride. This place reminds me of being a kid and having donuts with my granddad. I can't say it enough you've got to try and take some to your friends. It will make them so happy. read more

My family and I love KC donuts. This morning, the 2 elderly working were so sweet and kind. I don't mind spending the extra time it takes to walk in because of this. We ordered, kolaches, croissants, & donuts. All delicious. EVERY time we go they give extra, we don't ask, they just give. I love supporting this business, their family. read more

An Austin local's secret. Fluffy soft glazed donuts. Better than any big chain stores out there.

Amazing donuts. Lemon blueberry is the best! Lots of variety. Highly recommend!

Ok I like this place's food but they need to figure out what days they are going to close. I'm sitting here on a Tuesday morning in front of a closed store, again, because their closed days are seemingly completely random. There is no way to tell if it will be open. Do not go out of your way to come here on Mondays or Tuesdays because there is no way to tell whether it will be open. read more

In town to spend the week living like the locals. We wanted a highly rated shop with fast breakfast items. Kolaches, croissants, and donuts are popular options. We tried most of them in our group. Loved the pigs in a blanket the most. I ordered ham/cheese/jalapeño but mistakenly was served sausage. A happy accident because I loved it the most. My son was not a big fan of the sausage kolache. He said there wasn't much inside, just bread. Donuts were soft and doughy. Lacking cinnamon flavor in cinnamon roll. I thought it was more of a glazed donut :/ Overall, I can tell this is a popular shop from the constant flow of customers while we were there. Something to consider when determining if this is a place to visit. read more

After trying a lot of Donut shops around Austin I finally found the best spot. This place reminds me of Donut shops in Southern California. The flavor selection is amazing! The donuts are not dry and bready like a lot of other donut shops I've tried in Austin. If you want a donut done the right way go here. If you go on the weekend you want to get here early because they sell out of most the good flavors fast. By far the best donut shop in Austin! read more

First time trying this place and I think we've found our new doughnut shop! The lemon blueberry was perfectly balanced with tartness and sweet. They also gave us some fresh doughnut holes and they were just as good! Definitely recommend coming here and giving it a try! read more

KC is the best of south austin! Always so nice and the donuts are always amazing! Do yourself a favor wait till around 7:45 and go and enjoy the amazingly fresh donuts. They stay past their time sometimes which is an awesome surprise when you're in the area. It's a family business so know that they run their business how they see fit. They may need a few extra minutes in the morning. True Austin fam know what I mean. Just enjoy the awesome donuts. It's worth the line! Don't miss out try everything it's all good! read more
