    Sausage kolache
    Greg B.

    Located reasonably close to where my in-laws live considering how large and spread out the Houston area is, Robin's Snowflake Donut & Cafe was the number one place I wanted to make sure we stopped at on our recent holiday trip. Specifically, I was interested in trying their breakfast egg rolls. In addition to the egg rolls I got a mild boudin kolache, a sausage kolache, and a strawberry cheesecake donut. The egg rolls were only ok. The egg roll wrapper was very greasy and it heavily masked the flavor of cheese and egg. Sausage was the predominant flavor I could taste outside of the wrap and it was fine. The sausage kolache was more like a hot dog wrapped in a crescent roll. As someone from the Midwest who's used to eating real sausage, a hot dog was not what I was expecting when I hear/read the word sausage. Like the egg rolls it was ok, but also like the egg rolls it's not something I'd want again. I took one bite of the boudin kolache and didn't take another. The texture was too mushy. The best part of the visit was the strawberry cheesecake donut and that one thing made the stop worth it. Their donut selection isn't massive, but it seems to be what they do best as the rest of the group also loved their donuts.

    I'm fairly convinced that if I lived up in Spring that I would be a regular at Robin's because they're just that good. In fact, they're so stellar that I'm actually a little jealous I don't live in Spring (#1) or that I don't have something similar in my neck of the woods. There isn't anything I've tried here that wasn't outstanding and based on the reviews / ratings, I'm certainly not alone. Based on looks alone, it looks like an average shop in a strip mall. There is limited seating, ideal for a coffee date or a solo meal. Takeout is what most folks are doing. Stick around long enough and one will always see a flurry of people going in and out of the place. They're coming for the same thing: excellent food and incredible customer service. Their donuts are top notch, however, it doesn't begin to scratch the surface of their fabulous offerings. Where they shine are their seasonal donuts and custom orders for special occasions. The letter donuts are popular for birthdays and are beautifully decorated. Their malasadas might be some of the best I've had outside of Hawaii, which is no small feat. Whether it's a maple bacon, cake donut, or fruity pebbles, or plain old fashioned, it's going to be a winner. The boudin / breakfast egg rolls deserve their own paragraph. Normally I scoff at fusion egg rolls but these are light, have the perfect amount of crisp and are delicious right out of the oven and when they're sitting around room temperature. Not one place can compare. This is one of the most foodgasmic businesses in Houston. Like any good Texas based donut shop, they also have kolaches and they're great. Jalapeño sausage or boudin ones are equally delectable. They also have fruit based (#2) kolaches as well and their fritters are enormous. Not enough people realize they also have a killer king cake that they serve during Mardi Gras season. All of their pastries are pretty, tasty, and very affordable. Lastly, the staff and the owners are some of the nicest people I've come across. Cambodian-owned donut shops are ubiquitous, but this has to be up there with some of the best in the country. Every time I've had their food, I'm left contemplating how much I enjoyed it for days. It sounds dramatic, but they've solidified their position as one of my favorite places to indulge. They get my highest recommendation and I can't wait to go back again and again. __________ (#1) Said by no one ever. (#2) You know, the authentic stuff. What kolaches *actually* are.

    Drove out to the Woodlands area and knew I had to stop by Robin's since it appeared on a Yelp top list. It's a small, unassuming donut/breakfast spot in a strip mall. Upon entering, I was warmly welcomed by Robin and allowed time to peruse what they had, even though they were close to closing. I got a few donuts and orders of all of their eggrolls. The donuts were awesome as they have Asian flavors like coconut pandan and ube but also traditional ones. I loved the coconut pandan cake donut and I'm not usually a cake donut person. What really won me over were the eggrolls, its ingenious to use eggrolls as a vessel for "breakfast" and various other fillings. Kolaches may reign as the supreme breakfast to go in Houston but these eggrolls are my number one. If I lived closer, I'd be there daily. My personal favorite was the boudin eggroll, such a great flavorful sausage filling with some creamy melty cheese and all wrapped in a crisp eggroll shell. You have to wait a bit for the eggrolls as they're made to order but that just makes them all the better. This is, to me, def a destination food spot and for those willing to drive for food (and early since they close at noon) make the time and effort to do so!

    We learned about Robin's Snowflake Donuts from a Yelp list of the best donut shops in Texas. When we were exploring northern Houston suburbs on our way to The Woodlands, it was the perfect opportunity to make our way to their shop. Upon arriving, you'll notice it's in a large plaza with many other businesses and plenty of non restricted parking. It's a cute little shop on the inside with elevated bar stool seating on one side and tables on the other. All of their donuts are front and center in the large display case. We chose a few that looked particularly interesting in the pandan coconut, ube cake, and creme brulee. We also had to try their breakfast egg rolls partially because of novelty and partially because we needed a protein fix. In terms of the donuts, you can't go wrong with any of these three (or for that matter anything else in their case on a given day). The pandan and coconut flavors were very pronounced and the texture of the donut was superb. It was like the perfect balance of sweetness and softness. The ube cake donut was also fantastic. The crème brûlée did a great job at mimicking the crunchy topping of the dessert with a custard center. In terms of the eggrolls, please go try these as well. With their perfectly crunchy exterior, flavorful fillings, and impressive serving size, you can enjoy them as a delicious main course for breakfast or brunch. Finally, you'll feel like a member of the family or a long time friend when you stop in. The level of service we received isn't routinely matched by other businesses. It added to the positive impression we had after devouring their delicacies. We'll definitely be returning soon!

    We moved to the area a few months ago and we're so happy when we discovered Robin's donuts. My husband and I always look forward to the fresh kolaches and whatever the special is of the day, while my two-year old son has literally loved everything he's eaten from there. Everything is delicious, and I have recommended it to countless neighbors and friends in the area. For my son's second birthday, we placed a custom order for donuts instead of a typical birthday cake. Not only was their communication and service incredible, the donuts were adorable and exactly what I asked for. My son clearly enjoyed them from the pictures but so did all the other kids. They made great pictures and tasted delicious! Thank you for making his special day extra sweet!!

    I always love supporting mom and pop shops and this one didn't disappoint. Being our first time, the staff was very patient and helpful when placing our order and offered to bring the food to our car. Now, you might be wondering why do I have to wait for donuts...well actually we were waiting for our egg rolls as they are made to order, but oh boy was it worth it! Also, the wait wasn't bad as they had a table and chairs to sit, and a cute little kids play area, so something for everyone! In terms of food, I thoroughly enjoyed everything I tasted but my favorites were the egg rolls. I've had each of the components separately like boudin and the scrambled sausage and egg mix for their breakfast egg rolls, but man was it ingenious to fry it. I am still so amazed how crispy and flaky the "egg roll" was and the fillings just as tasty, especially that breakfast one! I also thought their kolaches/klobasniky were pretty tasty and was quite surprised how light and airy the donuts were. The flavors of each of the donuts were also so tasty, especially the maple bacon one where the bacon was still crispy! If you are ever on this side of town definitely give this cute little Cambodian owned donut place a visit! Oh, and just a heads up Robin's isn't on the storefront sign, look for the sign that says Snowflake Donuts N'Cafe when pulling up to the shopping strip. I can't wait to come back to try the fritters, so bummed I didn't get to order them but yay for trying new foods next time!

    I'm from Hawaii and am always on the look out for some yummy Hawaii treats. And this fits the ticket. We drive 40 min to get here and this is our second time here. This time I called ahead to preorder them and got a couple of them filled for my mom who just moved here from Hawaii. This was a special birthday celebration for her.

    How much time in advance to place an order for letter donuts?

    Is this the only location that sells the boudain eggrolls?

    Yes. We are independently owned and operated which means, the menu, prices, ingredients are all different.

The indoor seating area has a cool, relaxed vibe, and I sat in a comfortable booth. I also loved the wall decorated with hat. They specialize in a variety of bruschetta boards, which is what I was most excited to try. Some of the bruschetta options were just okay on their own, and I think a little balsamic reduction or a drizzle of olive oil would have added more flavor. My recommendations are the Sweet & Spicy Pepper Jam with Goat Cheese and the Burrata Bruschetta with arugula and tomatoes. Soooo good! The wines were amazing, and I loved that I was able to sample a few before deciding what to order. Overall, I think Postino is a great spot for a girls' night, catching up with friends, or just enjoying a chill evening out. I would definitely come back!

We went all-in on the desserts, and every single one was outstanding. The chocolate pie was rich, velvety, and deeply satisfying--perfectly balanced sweetness with a flaky crust that melted in my mouth. The pecan pie was a Texas classic done right: loaded with crunchy, fresh pecans in a gooey, caramel-like filling that tasted incredibly fresh and homemade. And the cream puffs covered in chocolate? Absolute perfection--light, airy pastry filled with luscious cream and generously draped in silky chocolate ganache. Each bite was a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. The portions are generous, the quality is top-notch (fresh, no preservatives, old-fashioned goodness), and the bakery case full of options made it hard to stop at just these. It's the ideal spot for anyone with a serious sweet tooth--whether dining in for that cozy atmosphere or grabbing treats to go. House of Pies turned my birthday into a memorable indulgence I'll be thinking about for a long time.

The selection of pies is incredible. Honestly, I can't think of anywhere in the Dallas area that offers this kind of variety. If you're a pie lover, this place feels like paradise. The highlight of our visit was the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. In all my years living in Texas, I don't think I've ever seen strawberry rhubarb pie offered at a restaurant. It was absolutely amazing, especially when paired with a scoop of ice cream. We also tried the Chocolate Cream Pie, French Black Bottom Pie, and Coconut Cream Pie, and every single one was excellent. Each pie had a fresh, homemade quality that made it easy to see why this place has such a loyal following. The food was fresh, hot, and served promptly. Beyond the food, the customer service was outstanding. The staff was attentive, friendly, polite, and genuinely seemed to care about providing a great experience. It's becoming increasingly rare to find that level of service, and it made a positive impression on us. The overall experience reminded me of Marie Callender's, but with better food and a much larger personality. There's a nostalgic charm to House of Pies that makes you want to stay a little longer and save room for another slice. The only thing preventing me from giving a full five-star review is the non-transparent service fee. I would much rather see menu prices increased by 2-3% and have the fee eliminated altogether. The final cost would be the same, but the pricing would feel more straightforward and customer-friendly. That minor criticism aside, House of Pies was one of the highlights of our trip to Houston. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu and, of course, more pie.
