This small family owned business is by far the best donut shop I have ever been to. Me and my bf love going here anytime we can! The owners are so sweet and quick and it's very personable seeing the same kind faces every time we visit! We got to build a relationship that makes our day anytime we want a boba or breakfast. The food is better than any Shipley shop and it's always so fresh! The donuts are heaven and the boba is always consistently perfect. This is by far the best hidden gem by the lake and so fun on those summer mornings read more

Great pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Don't be discouraged if there is a long line- it moves quickly!

The staff was soooo friends but the food was soooo bad. My kolache tasted like it was loaded in salt and so did the croissant... avoid if ur hungry. read more

Meh... I'm not much of a donut guy but I got a kolache, it was okay, crappy, super fatty meat inside of it though. I paid something like $3.50 for a "Cappuccino," only to be told that I go over to a machine and push a button and it comes out. That was a real kick in the pants, you could've warned me of that... $3.50 for the worst coffee drink I've ever had in my 40 years. It didn't taste anything like coffee, more like watered down, hot chocolate flavored water... They gave me some free donut holes, which was nice, but they were just bleh. The "coffee" drink was so bad I just threw it out the window of my car like a dumb child, I didn't want to be anywhere near that drink or that near $4 waste of money. I'll never go to this place again. Crapppity crap poo read more

Smiling Donuts - How I felt after spending my hard earned cash at this place. - Donuts Near Me - Lago Vista, Texas

The perfect one stop shop for early morning donut/kolache/boba cravings. We were staying at the Udoscape Eco-Glamping Resort across the street and came to this area for gas. We loved how early their hours were (4AM-2PM) because we were able to pick up breakfast and a coffee slush. I loved that the slush was not super sweet (the ultimate Asian compliment) and the breading on the kolache was perfect - fluffy and flavorful. It's also an Asian-owned business! Staff were super helpful and kind and both the drinks and food came out fast. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. read more

Smiling Donuts - a variety of doughnuts and drinks - Donuts Near Me - Lago Vista, Texas

The staff is great, donuts are solid and it's a local establishment. Try the kolaches!

The donuts here are as good as anyplace...yes, even those places. The comments saying these are like grocery store donuts are just silly. These are small batch, family made donuts. Yes, sometimes they run out later in the day, but that's because they can't afford to throw their extra donuts out at the end of the day. The folks are super nice here. I go occasionally before they close. Sometimes they're out of donuts. Sometimes they throw in extra stuff for free. Place is yummy. read more

First off let me start by the service. This place might be small but their customer service is huge. Always helping with a smile. This is a true statement to their name! The donuts, well. Another statement and reason to smile. They're amazing. Fresh and flavorful. First time trying the slush. And I love it! read more

Smiling Donuts - Pineapple slush with boba! - Donuts Near Me - Lago Vista, Texas

Tremendous Donuts!! All we had were the cake donuts, but they were out of this world good. Super fresh. I showed up one day at noon and they had one donut left. I asked what time they opened and they said 4AM. Too easy. Showed up the next morning at 3:55AM. Waited... until 4:20. At that time, someone finally opened up shop. When I asked for other donuts beside cake, she said they don't do that until 5:30 ‍. Can't make this up. So I got cake because that's all they had. Ended up being fantastic , but the journey was a bit frustrating. All this is for your knowledge. 5 stars because donuts were worth the frustration in the end. read more

My first visit here and they were very nice. I ordered the strawberry banana slush with Boba at normal sweetness and it was delicious! Due to the promotion that they have going on until New Year's I got free donuts!!! Woot! I got a chocolate sprinkled one and a half dozen of donut holes. The chocolate sprinkle was pretty average I love the amount of sprinkles they put on there and the donut holes were very good practically melted in my mouth. read more

Smiling Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Lago Vista, Texas

Brand New Just opened 2 days before Christmas. I got there right at 2pm when they were closing but they had some Kolaches left. A few tables inside and a cooler with some drinks. This is in the same location as that Xpress Chevron Station and Taqueria. I saw a sign that said minimum to use a credit card is $5. Since they are new they may stay open later. Call if you are unsure. read more

Absolutely amazing! The service was incredible, they were so friendly. They gave us recommendations and even gave us some free donuts. We had the smiling kolaches, the sausage and cheese kolache, the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit and some breakfast tacos and all of it was absolutely delectable! The donuts were some of the freshest donuts I've had in a long time. The Apple fritter was incredible, as well as the blueberry. Even the plain and simple donuts were good. We also had some smoothies and they were also very good and well served. The people in there ordering were also very nice. The store itself is super cute! read more

My husband & I recently moved to Lago Vista. It is a growing area but we were pleasantly surprised when we found out that the Smiling Donut offered kolaches & boba tea!

The people are so sweet as soon as you walk in! Amazing Kolache's and donuts! If I lived around here I would definitely come back!

They just opened yesterday but you would never know it. Fully stocked. Super attentive and friendly service. Tried the BOBA tea which was really good and grabbed some croissant breakfast sandwiches too which was super convenient and they were GREAT! Already made so no wait. They were warm before the BOBA was ready. And they gave us 2 free donuts for the grand opening. Plus a gentleman walked in without a mask and they handed him one lickety split. No scolding. Just a smile and a free mask. read more

This donut and bubble tea shop has been open for about a month. Jamie the owner was very friendly and welcoming. They had a wide selection of breakfast sandwiches, kolache's and donuts. I enjoyed the bubble tea smoothie. The location is very clean and well-maintained. I can't wait to go back and try other items on their menu. All the prices were very reasonable. read more

Very clean - friendly staff - quick service - food looked fresh & tasty in the beautifully displayed cases. Croissant breakfast sandwich was a 4/5. The donuts tasted like grocery store donuts. Personally, I'd rather go to Shipley Donuts for better tasting donuts. read more

Tasted like grocery store donuts. I was very disappointed. Staff were friendly and they do stay open until 2pm. However, the other donut store in Lago is much better and will keep my business. read more
