    Kolaches
    Khoa L.

    I am shocked I haven't reviewed this business because I always visit when I make it out to Houston. This is the type of donut/breakfast shop you dream of having close to your house so you can stop by any time. Mom and pop locally owned where the owner remembers you and always greets you with a smile and just simply makes you feel welcomed. But the most important part, the food. Donuts and kolaches! The kolaches are without a doubt, some of the best I've had because of the ratio of the light, airy bread and whatever filling you choose. I enjoy the jalapeño sausage and cheese, but my go to is easily the boudin (spicy version)! Flavorful and plenty. They do not skimp on portions here. The donuts are also great here. Again, the dough is light and delicious. They just have their recipes down. Just an awesome spot that'll have a forever customer in me.

    Their ham and cheese kolache is to die for -- the bread is perfection, as is the inner ham and cheese filling.

    Finally came back here after not coming for a few years. It's right next to my vet that I go to so…read moreI like to treat myself after taking my pets over there. I believe the first time I came here. I had some breakfast tacos and an iced latte which I did really enjoy. Today I went, and I had a chorizo empanada, a Horchata doughnut, and the Neapolitan latte. The empanada was nice and hot, I do wish it was a little more flavorful but next time I'll probably just add some hot sauce or something. The inside looks really cozy however I didn't stay and eat there since I had my pets in the car. The Horchata doughnut was interesting, was not what I was expecting, but didn't hate it. The Neapolitan latte taste like dessert, was definitely on the sweeter side which the cashier had warned me of. But overall, I really enjoyed it. I do love that they use Bendy straws, it's one of the only coffee shops I've been to that has consistently used them lol.

    Very cute little shop I had no idea existed. It's rosca day and I'm like dam where can I find a…read moregood rosca. Yeah there is el bollilo, mi tienda and hacienda bakery but this one caught my eye when going throughly insta. Let me tell you the bread was soooo good and the decor was super nice. It even had nanches which aren't my fave but my families so that was a very nice surprise. Had guava pieces as the jewels of the kings and candied oranges. Normally I avoid rosca because the bread as I mention is dry or too hard but this one was very good, I'm guessing it's the same dough as their donuts and I would take it! I called and asked if there were any and the lady was like I hear how overwhelm you are so I'll just set aside this one on display. Papa blesssss! Found my new go to spot for rosca! I hope in the future they have different flavors or even preorders because I def would place one.

    Updating my review to stay up with the times…read more I've been on a health kick lately so I rarely splurge on donuts -- or desserts for that matter. Still, I bring my son to Robin's on a regular basis. It's sort of become our place. My son loves everything he tries here and often asks for more -- whether kolaches or donuts. And me? Well, I can't help but cave on the Mardi Gras donuts. They are sooooo good. I had one last week - and another today. It makes me wish that Mardi Gras was year round. When we are in the shop, I see the same faces. It speaks volumes when you see the same regulars coming in. Peeps know what they like! Yes, the place gets busy. And sometimes you have to wait. That's actually a small price to pay for amazing delectables. If you haven't been - stop by! Robin, Brandon, Kayla, and Hung will take great care of you -- and you'll leave both full and with a smile on your face!!

The young man behind the counter was super sweet and helpful in helping me make my decision. There were just too many options for me to make up my mind. I decided to order an iced coffee to compliment my Donuts, and I was told this was one of their most popular drinks, I see why, it was creamy sweet and delicious. Next time I'm in the area, I will be stopping by snowflake Donuts and try something else, who knows maybe I'll even have a seat at one of their tables next time to just relax and enjoy.

    This Voodoo Doughnut location on Westheimer is a great Montrose neighborhood sweet spot. While…read morethe parking isn't the finest, there's usually a spot or two open so you can do a quick grab and go. The location is quite small with only two 2-person tables for those looking to devour donuts on site. The times I have visited, staff were enthusiastic and able to suggest doughnuts upon request. There are so many flavors and types of doughnuts it's easy to get overwhelmed. I think the doughnuts are all on the sweet side compared to other doughnuts places, but also large and dressed well! There are fruity flavors, savory ones (bacon, uh huh), and classic frosted types, if you don't like them stuffed. The Voodoo dozen includes 13 doughnuts with some cakes, crazy, and classics. If you're not feeling as wild, they also offer a box of Classics, which are not as fun in my opinion, the Vegan box, or even Baron's glazed...raised glazed. Some of my must-haves inclide the Apple Fritter, Maple Bacon Bar, Buttermilk Bar, Chocolate Old Fashioned, Homer, Mango Tango, Portland Cream, Strawberry Go-Tart, and of course, Voodoo Doll! Love that they are open til at least midnight everyday! The restrooms are locked and not open to the public, so be sure to make a purchase if you're looking to use the facility (customers only!)

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!
