This was really, really good! Not gonna lie. Food was 10/10 even though it's a donut place. Not pictured was that I also had their sausage kolaches and the apple fritter which was thin and crispy. My favorite though was this donut. I've never had a cinnamon old fashioned donut. It was perfect! Service was 10/10. The Korean ladies behind the counter were so sweet and friendly. Ambiance isn't anything special. It's a donut shop. You grab your stuff and go. I'm totally going back when I have another chance. read more

Shin's Donuts - Cinnamon sugar glazed old fashioned donut - Donuts Near Me - Irving, Texas

Shin's Donuts is a longstanding donut shop in north Irving that is so good it has withstood the test of time. It's been 11 years! since my original review of Shin's. Not only are they still in business, but they're also better than ever. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Shin's Donuts looks like any other shopping strip donut shop. Good news is there is plenty of parking, and the interior has been updated with glass cases showcasing their baked goods. Take a peek through the door and you can see the busy kitchen. On busy weekend mornings expect a line. 1 Star. Service - This family-owned small business has been here as long as I've lived in Irving. The employees are kind, patient, and will ask you if you want your baked goods warmed up. Coffee is self-serve, but if you're not here for coffee. 1 Star. Food - Shin's Donuts is the epitome of the saying "Not all donut shops are the same". While the word Donut is in the title, my favorite item is the sausage roll. On my most recent visit, I ordered my roll wrapped in a croissant dough. The buttery roll is an upgrade from the original sausage roll. It was soft and warm (next time I'll put it in the toaster oven) and quickly disappeared once my kids discovered them. And while Shin's has plenty of donut types, I only need a glazed donut. Shin's glazed donut is soft, airy, and never dries out. It's perfect when I dunk it in black coffee. Bonus - the staff always gives me a bag of donut holes to go. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. While it took me 11 years to update my review. I've probably been back to Shin's over a dozen times. Not only have I been back, but I will also drive out of my way past a dozen other donut shops just to get to Shin's. 1 Star. read more

When I saw that they had kolaches with bacon, I had to go because who doesn't love bacon. Unfortunately, the sausage that was also included was jalapeño sausage. So, that was a no for me. H O W E V E R, I went with the bacon and sausage breakfast sandwich. And yes, I was not leaving without bacon of some sort. Anywho, it was scrumptious. How many places actually season their scrambled eggs with salt and pepper? Shin's does. In my Schwarzenegger voice, "I'll be back!" read more

Stopped by craving donuts and saw this place had great reviews so came in with high hopes. Ordered 3 dozen glazed donut holes and 3 regular small kolaches. Said the order the same way, but not sure if she had selective hearing because she charged me for 3 dozens and began packing them. When I saw my total I clarified and told her I wanted 3 dozen donut holes glazed. She mumbled and said, "pft well next time say donut holes. *sigh* okay" and changes the order. She was also charging me for those 3 dozen boxes and 3 egg sandwiches rather than the kolaches? Donuts are okay; Kolaches are super tiny for the price as well. Customer service could be improved overall but place seemed pretty clean at least. read more

Shin's Doughnuts is a beloved local spot, known for its fresh, fluffy, and consistently delicious donuts. Anyone in the mood for a doughnut, try their classic glazed donuts. One of the best, try always warm and they melt-in-your-mouth like butter. Beyond the doughnuts, they also offer breakfast sandwiches and kolaches. I will try their jalapeño cheddar kolaches next time. This is a family-owned shop & they are warm, friendly, hospitable & quick service. They do throw in a few complimentary donut holes with every order. My sister & niece introduced me to their wonderful doughnuts. Highly recommend them!! read more

I never thought the day would come that I would review a donut shop. But this place has to be reviewed. I had a long John and a twist and when I took my first bite I knew wow this isn't normal. It was like biting into a cloud that has a crunchy exterior texture. I mean seriously my brain was like what is this amazing thing in my mouth I need more and every bite I was like wow wow wow definitely a must try read more

Gosh, these donuts are fantastic! I think this is what biting into a cloud would feel like. Been here a few times now and the donuts are always fresh, the service always friendly. Check them out if you haven't already! read more

You smell the freshness and yumminess the minute you walk in the door! I got 2 dozen mixed donuts and they were eaten as soon as I brought them into the office! They really are yummy! read more

great donut shop. I went to pick up at 6 am to bring to work and all my coworkers loved it. Nice and airy and not greasy or overly sweet. They even included some extra donut holes with my dozen. read more

Absolutely phenomenal donuts. Most donut shops are ok, but not great. Shin's is one of the exceptional ones. It's definitely worth a try.

Delicious donuts. Wish they had boxes of coffee. Yum twists were delicious Fantastic read more

I think this is the first review I have ever written. I just wanted to shout out the ladies at Shin's donuts. They were so kind, and when I asked them to pick a random assortment, they included their top sellers (not just donuts they wanted to get rid of). They also gave us two extra donuts on the house. Shin's donuts is a great example of why small businesses rule the world and make the state of Texas great. Please give them your business! Those women deserve the world! read more

Excellent selection! Very good kolaches, large and small ~ donuts were also Delicious!! read more

Best donuts in DFW! Used to come here regularly years ago, but they've gotten a lot more pricey. So I usually go to spot closer to home for half the price. But when I feel like splurging, I definitely stop here! read more

Fresh, tasty and quick. Not the cleanest or Best maintained place. But good for Me. :-) read more

This is a cute little donut shop off of Beltline that also sells kolaches! I love that they give you the fresher donuts available (i.e. straight off the cooling racks as opposed to the ones sitting in the display case). What's even better is that they threw a handful of complimentary donut holes into the box! At just over $8/dozen, everything is priced fairly here. I didn't grab any kolaches this time around but I will in the future. I'm pretty sure the weiners were wrapped in bacon!!! read more

Shin's Donuts - A dozen for $8 and change, plus they throw in complimentary donut holes! - Donuts Near Me - Irving, Texas

Shin's Donuts - Inside - Donuts Near Me - Irving, Texas

Definitely understand what the hype is about! These practically melt in your mouth! Everyone at work loved these so much so that there were not any left - and I bought at least 3 times more than was needed for our small team thinking they might take some home to their kiddos. I purchased plain cake, regular glaze, chocolate glazed, an assortment of "pretty" donuts plus bacon + jalapeño kolachies as well as a single spinach / cheese kolachie type thing for myself. Shin's is close to the office so as other individuals on our floor discovered that's what was on the table, they quickly disappeared!! The few times I've been in, the same two women were working the front and are always so pleasant and ever so sweet. They know their ingredients very well and have always been gracious in answering all of my questions, even if they have a rush inflow of customers which seems to be the norm. (I unfortunately have a long list of allergies so I'm often that annoying person in front of you - so sorry if you've been lucky enough to be behind me but I do try to be quick about it. I have most of my Q&A's down to a science.) That being said, I cannot emphasize enough how amazing their customer service is - I know the vast majority of donut shop employees are fairly decent but those two ladies are truly genuine, never rush you and always greet / leave you with a smile. (Very refreshing early in the morning, especially on Mondays!) Even if they were rude, to be honest, their donuts and pastries are so delectable, I'd seriously suck it up and go back and that is saying a looooot. read more

Excellent place!! Ever since Jerry's started to get less-than-stellar reviews after he sold the shop, I started coming here, and it is super close to my house; five minutes away, and they're just as good as they say! Nice crisp, but soft cinnamon rolls, incredible classic glazed donuts with a pillow-like texture, and the donut holes were just an incredible addition overall! You can absolutely count on me coming back for more!! read more

Incredible kolaches and donuts! The ladies there were so sweet and the taste of all of the food is wonderful. Will definitely be back.

My team and I at work were all starving one morning and decided that the only solution would be some awesome donuts. We searched Yelp and found this place on belt line and after missing the turn (twice) we finally got inside. Color me surprised to find some delicious kolaches and the most amazing donut holes I've ever had. Instead of just a plain sugar glaze on their donuts, they add VANILLA. I know it sounds like a small thing but the result is somewhere between heaven and nirvana. They would definitely have five stars if it weren't for the fact that sometimes their kolaches don't taste right, and I'm a kolache fan! However, if you are looking for DELICIOUS and affordable donuts to take to work in the morning, Shin's is the place to be. read more

My first time at this donut spot was pleasant. I bought the jelly donut (smaller than what I'm used to). I had to choose which flavor jelly I wanted. l chose lemon. I was not disappointed. The donut was delicious! Soft and fresh. I will return to this location. read more

The best donuts around. Friendly service and decent prices. Since I've discovered them (not far from my house), I've gone often. The glazed donuts and donut holes are awesome! Definitely better than the other donut shops in the area. One negative: They no longer carry sausage rolls that don't have cheese. That's poor catering to a diverse customer base read more

Amazing donuts. They were literally so soft. It meets all the criteria for a perfect donut. I had a $20 bill and I asked the lady how much I could get with it.. I left with an apple fritter, a little over a dozen assorted donuts, and 4 sausage rolls. I'll be recommending this place to everyone. The texture of these donuts cannot be beat. I got all this for my husband for valentines day- they had cute heart shaped donuts! I tried the sour cream donuts too for the first time. FANTASTIC. read more

There are good donuts, fancy donuts, popular donuts and donuts that should be regulated by the Drug Enforcement Agency as they are so great they are addictive! Shin's Donut is the later. I had to stop being a regular as I was seriously addicted to the world's best glazed donut! I've had donuts and pastries from all over the planet. Shin's glazed donut is the best. You can't eat just one. During my last fix, I mean trip, I mean stop, I quietly walked in and ordered a mix for my coworkers. A couple of the nearly addictive apple fritters, a couple of blueberry cake, a few chocolate covered and a mix of whatever else they opted to put in. A couple of dozen sausage rolls and 4 dozen glazed donut holes. (After all, a donut hole is lower calorie than a donut, right?) And secretly, I ordered 6 glazed donuts for me. I normally get a milk, but that denies room for a couple of more donuts. Shin's glazed donuts, when hot, should not be eaten all by yourself. You need a friend or your mom to help you control yourself. You may laugh or chuckle, but I'm deadly serious. The dealers, I mean counter staff, are absolutely wonderful people and are always friendly as they were this trip. I really need to learn how they can be so in shape while working here. They must walk to and from work. I know they help keep me in shape; round is that shape. Put it on your bucket list. Make a pilgrimage to Shin's. They are THAT great. read more

These donuts are seriously amazing! I'm so glad to live so close to this place. I love going on a Saturday morning to get an assortment of donuts to have with coffee at home. It's only about $7 for a half dozen! The donuts are so soft and they melt in your mouth. My favorite is the blueberry glazed. The customer service is always so friendly too! read more

Yummy kolaches and donuts. friendly owners. Great service and very accommodating of last minute larger orders. I'll call ahead next time to give them a heads up. 10/10! read more

Well I went here after reading the reviews. And the reviews did not disappoint! I ordered serveral things here and it was all fresh and the pig in the blankets they sell by the dozen and its a bang for the buck! With each other they suprise you by adding a few donut holes in your order, which is always a nice treat! They open bright and early and people are there ready to get these fresh donuts! I loved the variety they had and I will be returning here. My favorite thing was a huge Pig in the Blanket that had BACON in it!!! WHAT!!! Bacon! Yes and it was crispy! I almost feel over in the car. I didnt even leave the parking lot until it was all gone! I just sat there thinking to myself, who came up with this idea! It was to die for! Anyway, if you are in this area, please stop by and grab you some of the yumness! read more

I came here to pick up some kolaches before heading to the airport. Did you know they only make kolaches in Texas!? I definitely took them for granted until I moved to CA and they are no longer anywhere to be found. They sell small kolaches with the doughy bread, small kolaches with croissant bread, and jumbo kolaches with and without jalepenos. I bought a half dozen of the jalapeno ones to bring back to California. The owner, Ms. Shin, is super sweet and gave us a bag full of donut holes in addition. You should definitely reheat them in the microwave for 20ish seconds or warm them up in the oven before eating them! I've had softer, doughier bread elsewhere but for now, these did the trick. read more

You know it's a good donut shop if there is a cop giving it top marks on a Yelp review. Yay Chief Wiggum! This place is the bomb! I came here based on a friend's recommendation and it was worth the detour. They offer a variety of flavors but their two main staples seem to be glazed and chocolate glazed. Both were melt in your mouth, light fluffy goodness. When you order a bunch of donuts, they also include a few donut holes, which could be the star of the show in their own right. I also recommend their hot dog rolls, which are so delish. It's a perfect balance, with the saltiness of the hot dog mixing with the sweet light dough of the roll, I could eat a dozen of those, wait, I have eaten a dozen of those.... I would rather eat at Shin's than a Krispy Kreme any day. I give this place 5 stars. read more

I've had Shin's Donuts on my bookmarks for a while now, and was lucky that my colleague picked up donuts from here during my last work trip to Dallas. We got to try a variety of different items: -Original Glazed Donuts (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/shins-donuts-irving?select=09filXzvycBhao-efVfGHA#09filXzvycBhao-efVfGHA): Sadly, the original glazed donut was just ok- it looked really light and fluffy, but was a little dry. Skip! -Old Fashioned Buttermilk, Chocolate Éclair, Devil's Food Cake, Blueberry (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/shins-donuts-irving?select=09filXzvycBhao-efVfGHA#chRrX4C69F0Ebg48k_MR5Q): The old fashioned buttermilk was delicious, a tiny bit too sweet, but I would still get this again. The chocolate éclair was also good, since there was a good amount of custard filling. Devil's Food Cake was really good if you don't like your donuts too sweet, and it had a good chocolate-y flavor. The Blueberry was just ok, and my least favorite out of the four. -Sausage Breakfast Rolls & Donut Holes (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/shins-donuts-irving?select=09filXzvycBhao-efVfGHA#NmndpPS6l1XMTckWiMjyUg): The kolaches were delicious! I loved the breakfast sausage inside, and the bread part was nice and fluffy- highly recommended! I didn't try any of the donut holes so can't comment on those. Overall, Shin's has some solid donuts (and delicious kolaches), and I will definitely be back! read more

Awesome donuts and even better sausage rolls! Our favorite donut place! We get several dozen sausage rolls to have throughout the week.

What's better than donuts for breakfast? Apparently in Texas it's a kolache. We visited Shin's Donuts to get our fix of both things. We went around 10am but from what they're telling me, the best kolache flavors sell out by then so it's better to get there early. I had no idea what a kolache was before I visited Texas. It took me a few visits but I finally had the opportunity to try a kolache! So what is a kolache? A kolache is a warm, delicious, slightly sweet fresh-baked pastry traditionally filled with sausage, cheese, or fruit. I haven't tried the more popular fruit filled kolache but I had the pleasure of trying a plain sausage kolache as well as a jalapeño cheese kolache. From the two kolaches I tasted, the Jalapeño cheese kolache was infinitely better. I really think that you need more flavor than just a sausage and the jalapeño cheese definitely helped. I think next time I'm going try a sweeter kolache rather than a savory one because I felt like I was essentially eating a hot dog. Granted, it tasted better but that's the impression I got. We also got some donuts to go. The blueberry donut is delicious and their maple custard donut is to die for. They fill it on the spot with whatever filling you want so it's not soggy! The donut holes were also pretty tasty. Airy and not greasy at all. We enjoyed our pastries in the car and don't really have any complaints. They heated up our kolache in the microwave for us without asking which was nice of them. It was a tad expensive I thought with each donut being over $1.50 or so. But the service was very friendly and we will probably be back if we are ever in the area again! 4/5 read more

The donuts, kolache, breakfast sandwiches and coffee are all very tasty. The pricing is fair and reasonable. The checkout team is all very friendly. Sometimes, around dinner time, I wish they were open so I could sneak a couple of donuts for dinner. Its a wonderful locally owned establishment. I visit it often for breakfast. You should too. read more

They have easily the best donuts I have ever had in my life. The family who runs it are all very personal and proud of their shop as well as make great connections in the community. I was sad to hear they were moving from their Coppell location but I'm always willing to drive a little distance for their donuts. Love coming here when I can and would recommend them to anyone in the area. read more
