    I stopped in to grab a quick breakfast on my way to work. It's a nice little "mom and pop" type shop. They didn't have a huge selection of donuts when I went in, but they covered the basics. They also offered a variety of kolaches and croissants. I ordered a boudin kolache and two apple fritters. The kolache was good. I liked their bread a lot better than the usual Shipley's bread. The fritters were ok. They were a bit crunchy, especially on the outside. Good flavor though. My man didn't like them on account of the texture. He did eat some of the inside parts. I ate mine, but prefer them fluffier. The lady at the counter threw in a bag of donut holes for free. They were awesome! So fluffy, definitely very fresh.

    Nothing crazy, just regular ol' donuts. Nothing more or less special than any other place.

    Great to see a new donut shop in the area with a lot more breakfast options than other shops in the area.

    The popular Portland based Voodoo Doughnut came to the Houston food scene not too long ago and had…read morebeen a frequent stop for me when I have a donut craving. I don't get the cravings often, but sometimes I just want an apple fritter and most all donut spots close early in the day. That is where Voodoo holds the advantage. They stay open late. You will always get a long line during late night hours at any of their locations around town. They are known for their wacky donut creations. Things like a voodoo doll donut, grape flavored donuts or even a donut shaped like a blunt. In my opinion, all the crazy flavors are either way too sweet or are just doing too much. Give me a regular glazed donut or an apple fritter or something along those lines. They also do a buttermilk bar that is outstanding. The vibes are great at this location. They always got some good music going on and the staff are always friendly and match the vibes of the store. It's a great option when the donut cravings hit late at night.

    Im not really a fan of the doughnuts at Voodoo but let me tell you that their staff is bar none…read more These guys are the most helpful, genuine down right amazingly kind individuals I have ever encountered. Special shout out to Micah (I hope I spelled your name right) and if I wasn't senile I could remember the name of, who I think was the manager, there earlier in the evening. Idc if I like the doughnuts or not but I'll keep coming back because of the people. But the old fashioned was pretty damn good.

    Apparently all Shirley's Do-Nuts are not created equal! This Shipley Do-Nuts experience reminded me…read moreof the beauty of the Shipley Do-Nut experience. In fact, when friends visit from out of town I'm going to take them to this (and only this) location to experience Shipley in its best form. When I tell you, all the I's are dotted and the t's are crossed at this location I mean it! I truly wouldn't be surprised if they trained new franchise owners at this very location because pretty much everything is elevated or on point. Pup in tow I chose the drive-thru. Pulling up to the order speaker I was greeted with an automated we'll be with you shortly message. After placing and receiving my order I opened the box and nearly audibly gasped. I've ordered one too many Shipleys Bullseyes in my day, but I've yet to see one that looked this perfect. The middle seemed piped. I also ordered two cake donuts, a buttermilk for now and blueberry for later. Both were delightful! The slight language barrier at the receiving window had me a bit worried, but this spot delivered. I'll be back on my next cheat day!

    High expectations, but a bit disappointed…read more Service 5/5 - The lady at the counter was very friendly and nice. She provided great service and had a great attitude. Beignet - Surprising hit. They are made fresh to order and it was actually my favorite thing from our experience there. Donuts - The batter used made the donuts not quite as light as Krispie Kreme and had a bit more of a bounce/chew to it. The donuts are definitely better when slightly warmed up for a few seconds. Their glaze is where I think the donuts fell short for me though. It had a nice crispy texture but there is a slight added fragrance to it that I found distracting. I can't quite put my finger on what that fragrance is, you can't necessarily taste it but you can definitely smell it. The other non-glazed donuts like maple didn't have the fragrance but the maple flavor was a bit too mild. Jelly and cream ones were OK, were very filled. Kolache - Got the plain sausage one and it was nothing special. The sausage tasted like a breakfast sausage you'd get from a complementary breakfast at a hotel and then wrapped in bread. Would not get again. Americano - Pretty good, went well with the sweets. Overall not bad but I feel like we've had better donuts elsewhere. The fragrance in the glaze was off putting though and that made me quite disappointed.
