Cool spot to check out in downtown Austin! The vibe hits you right when you walk in -- they've got this huge neon American flag that instantly sets the mood. Definitely a fun atmosphere. The donuts themselves were a bit of a letdown, though. Ours were a little stale -- now, in fairness, we did roll in later in the afternoon, so that might've played a part. But here's the thing: I'm a HUGE donut person. I can eat a donut basically any time of day, no matter how long it's been sitting out. So for them to fall a little flat, especially at the prices they're charging, I was expecting a bit more. That said, it was a nice place to sit and take a break while we were wandering around downtown. Would I make it a regular stop? Probably not -- but if you're on vacation and want to check it out for the experience, it's worth a peek. read more

Voodoo Doughnut - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

I know, I know... why go to a Voodoo Doughnut location when I live in the Pacific Northwest and with out too much work get to a Voodoo Doughnuts location with relative ease. Why am I going to one in Austin? Well, it's because I am a completeist and I try to go to as many Voodoo Doughnut locations as I can. Austin has two locations but Steve was only willing to tolerate going to one location so we went here. The doughnuts are going to be about the same as any other location however I did come across one that I haven't seen before. I am not sure if it was limited edition or what but I liked it. It was kind of take on a Black Forest Cake but it wasn't cherries that were on top of the doughnut and cream. It was more like blueberries. It was good and I am glad I tried it! I was really hoping to see the Ring of Fire Doughnut as it's my favorite but I didn't see it here. I got more of a powdered doughnut too as I do like their more basic doughnuts too. Steve got something that almost was like a Dubai-esque Chocolate Doughnut. It had pistachios on it and was a chocolate cake. That one was good too! Atmosphere is weird and quirky like all of their locations try to be which I can appreciate. So if you are addicted to Voodoo Doughnuts or have been wanting to try them but don't plan any PNW trips then definitely swing by the Texas locations. More and more locations are popping up all of the time! read more

This location is awesome! Tons of seating and there is bathrooms for customers! I loved the cute flag and all the decorations. The tables were also very cool and the napkins were custom which is also very fun! The actual donuts are really good too! If you like maple bars then you will love the maple bar here! It is the perfect amount of maple and the actual donut! I do wish they had a water station, but other than that this place is a fun visit! read more

The donuts could have been fresher but they had a wide variety of donuts that would please every palate. I had the maple bacon donut and it was very sweet. These are probably better to eat a half a time. read more

Voodoo Doughnuts is known for their crazy doughnuts with toppings. They have a lot of options. We got the cinnamon sugar cake and dirt doughnuts. We wanted to get the old dirty bastard, but they were apparently out on a Sunday morning. I thought the cinnamon doughnut would be good, but it was not. It was dry and didn't have a good flavour. The dirt doughnut had generic Oreo pieces on it, and it was okay. I felt like the doughnuts looked better than they tasted, but it was still a good experience to go to their 6th street location. They are open extended hours. read more

Voodoo Doughnut - Cinnamon Sugar Cake and Dirt - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

I forgot to check in, but see photo for proof we actually got donuts! We actually didn't finish all of them because we picked them up right before dinner. There was a blueberry donut, a mango filling one, banana, these flavors stood out and was what I remember to be good. I'm usually a plain glazed donut or maybe an old fashioned donut kinda person. But these were pretty good for a change, and the donut itself is also good by itself. Many of the fancy donuts I've had, the donut itself can be dry and texture or taste isn't great on its own. This spot deserves the good ratings. read more

White Cream is a necessity. Unavailable. Ugh. I went way early in the morning. All the donuts were fresh and moist. The Glazed Yeast (The Prime Donut)......... if a donut maker can't do glazed, you might as well forget about the rest. Fantastic. Perfect. The glaze that flakes though moist and a donut that slightly squishes, pops slightly back and has that perfect texture....... And yes Flavor! Perfect Glazed. Well done. A good size and not a weak donut. I did a fancy chocolate cake donut of the Butterfinger kind. A fantastic blend of a good chocolate cake and the touch of peanut from the crisp. A good combo of about 50/50 share of flavor. Focusing on the cake donut resulted in a favorable chocolate cake donut. Freshness is key. Lastly was a buttermilk bar. Good, just good. I know where to get great. You'll have to read my other donut posts to find out where. Just good. Glaze could improve and the complete cool through would be helpful. The dough was alright, not bad. Good ingredients and a nice flavor. On a level of poor, fair, good to great........ Good. read more

It's a bummer, because I do love Voodoo. Or, at least I used to. I paid $40 for donuts, so I could have them delivered to my house all the way in Cedar Park, and I received what tasted like 1-2 day old donuts. Maybe they weren't that old, but they were stale. We ordered an "Old dirty bastard" donut, and they definitely included the "old." Disappointed, felt like I wasted my money on niche donuts when I could've been more satisfied with Krispy Kreme read more

We stopped by after hearing great things about this place, and it definitely lived up to the hype. We tried the Portland Cream, and it did not disappoint--everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the flavor was amazing. The cream filling was a custard, which made it even more delicious. I highly recommend checking this spot out. They also had some comical donuts that gave us a good laugh, and the inside was decorated in a really cute and inviting way. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town! read more

If you are in the mood for a late night indulgent snack, Voodoo Doughnuts is the place to go. Was hitting Voodoo donuts up after a night of music on dirty 6th, and they offer more than 40 artisan flavor options, including over 10 vegan options. The doughnut shop has a New Orleans French Quarter vibe very dark and mysterious. I had to get the apple fritter fried dough with apple chunks and cinnamon and topped with glaze. It was monstrous and big enough to share. They had a variety of other flavors we tried like blueberry cake with glaze and the sprinkle cake plain cake doughnut with vanilla frosting and colorful sprinkles. Great for a late night sugar rush! read more

Voodoo Doughnut in Austin is exactly what you'd expect from a place that serves over-the-top, sugar-loaded treats right in the middle of a buzzing nightlife scene. When I visited, the area was absolutely packed with people heading to and from the bars, which made the experience a little chaotic but also kind of entertaining. It is definitely not a quiet stop, but if you can handle the crowd, the doughnuts are totally worth it. The selection is wild in the best way. From cereal-topped creations to classic glazed, everything feels a little extra and a lot of fun. The staff kept things moving quickly despite the crowd, and I walked away with a box full of sweet, overindulgent happiness. If you're downtown and in the mood for something fun and delicious, this place delivers. Just be ready for a bit of a scene. read more

Now I can say "I've been there." Heard about this place & decided to check it out in this Weds Am. It's kinda cool, kinda muggy. Locals say it's cool, this Californian says, It's Whew Hot. Walked here from my Hotel, it's a quick walk & decided I was going to be a donut Queen of the day. Wow plenty of choices. They are big & just full of sugar. I decided to get The Homer & a Cinnamon Cake. I opted for a water since it's pretty warm. Delicious & Wow super sweet. This place is cute, big, with plenty of seating. There's a large banquette and plenty of chairs. There's a stage & a cute Photo Booth. Service was quick as it was 10am & the early morning crowds had died down. Dare I say it was pretty Dead. Ha-ha I crack myself up. I purchased some merch. It figures all my first choices-they were out of stock. I still found some cute things to wear to remember my visit here in ATX. Definitely a place to stop by when in Austin. read more

Spacious late night donut shop on 6th Street, with lots of pink all around. We tried the Dirt and the Homer donuts. It's hard to eat a cold donut and enjoy it. Wish they could warm the donuts up slightly but alas not possible, yet. Staff were kind, served us quickly. Nice place to throw a donut party. read more

My first time visiting the Austin location, but I've been to the Portland, Oregon spot a few times. The vibe here still has that same fun and quirky energy that makes VooDoo Doughnut stand out. I tried the Pop Tart donut with the strawberry filling and it was really good. The donut was fresh and the strawberry center added the right touch. This place is really good especially if you want a sweet treat after dinner.. So many options to pick from. Great service.. Quick and easy! I will be back. read more

I'm starting to feel like I run into a Voodoo everywhere I go, but I get why: the donuts are creative and tasty. They are slightly pricey, but as an occasional splurge, it's not unreasonable. Also, especially the bigger (and more expensive) ones are reasonable to share -- and you'd probably be better off doing so. This particular location has some cool decor like the donut trees and flag. Nice setup to see what's offered, though we stopped at a not busy time, it seems like it'd be challenging to decide quickly if there's a big line. read more

Very fun & inviting atmosphere. I was on a layover in the city and decided to stop by to taste a few donuts. I got a variety of flavors that the cashier picked out for me. They were very filling and thick donuts. They come cold of course. My favorite would have had to be the blueberry cake. read more

While these donuts are definitely on the more expensive side, they are so good! My friends and I decided to get a couple of them and split them amongst all us so we could try a couple of flavors. The donuts themselves are really big and perfect for sharing (or not sharing haha) I especially if you just want a little sweet treat. We got the Old Dirty Bastard and the Mango Tango. The Old Dirty Bastard is your standard chocolate and peanut butter. It's great if you want a more classic flavor. The Mango Tango was easily the favorite of the two in our group. Not only is it just different from other donut flavors that you can typically find, it is also so delicious! The mango isn't too sweet while also being so flavorful. Highly recommend that one if you are looking for some different and fruity. This store itself is huge so it's great if you want to go with a group. They have a lot of open tables and space. There's also a stage where my friends and I took some pictures. It's all very cute! read more

Voodoo doughnut has always caught my eye while walking across the 6th and once I wanted to venture into their business and the place was in a bad condition. It was smelling, empty and was having a lot of scattered garbage. Wouldn't recommend this place. The entire set up is great and theme is nice but I'm sure it is a very unhygienic place. The entire place was smelling and don't even wanna start with the restrooms! If you want creative doughnuts get the special ones . They were cute and funny and very voodoo! If you're smart, you can get a large doughnut for just $4.5 but they aren't special anyways. I got the Voodoo dozen, it comes with 13 special doughnuts. This was for a party and they came in all sizes and looked cute. 13 doughnuts, some cakes, some crazy, some classic. Voodoo Dozen includes: Dirt, Marshall Mathers, Portland Cream, Sprinkle Cake, Raised Glazed, The Homer, Bacon Maple Bar, Grape Ape, Blueberry Cake, Voodoo Doll, Oh Captain, My Captain, Chocolate Coconut, and Maple Blazer Blunt. I did try one of them and did not like the taste at all, they did not taste fresh and they were crumbling & dry! read more

Needed a sweet pick me up treat after a few drinks on 6th street and I can never turn down a donut! I've always heard of this place but don't live in an area that has one. The inside is fun, pink walls and the decor is cute. The staff might have been having an off day, cause they weren't the happiest, but we all have those days, lol. Got the powder sugar and a limited time donut, cheesecake flavor. Honestly, it was hard to pick a donut with the variety they offer! read more

I absolutely love Voodoo Doughnuts, but the location on Dirty Sixth is not the vibe. I want to enjoy my Bavarian Cream Donut in PEACE. I do not want to be bothered by unpleasant BO &/or lingering urine on the streets or worry about my safety. I'm just trying to eat my damn donut!! Compared to other Voodoo locations I've visited outside of Austin, this one lacks the same magic and charm, which is such a shame. The donuts on display don't look as fresh or appealing and service lacks TLC. read more

For me the location and look is pretty cool and that's about as far as it went. We tried 4 different doughnuts ( glazed, powdered, banana cream pie, churro cheesecake) glazed was the only decent one but the rest all had a very heavy artifical/chemical taste and just not enjoyable. read more

Voodoo Doughnut - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Service? Meh. Barely a word exchanged, but hey--it's a donut, not a therapy session. The donut? More like a $4 illusion. A tiny dab of cream hidden in the middle, surrounded by a cavern of empty dough. Imagine biting into what looks like a filled donut, only to find it's mostly air. A culinary catfish. Ambiance was the highlight, honestly. Cool vibe, nice spot to stroll to from the hotel. But if you're not within walking distance, good luck figuring out where to park. Maybe we just got the "oops" batch. Or maybe that's the norm. Who knows? read more

Couple of things to mention... I went at like 11:30pm on Halloween weekend so the line was LONG and barely moving. Thankfully someone else stepped in to help out. Playlist is fire and interior is cute. I tried the portland cream pie, the voodoo doll and the hibiscus one. The hibiscus one was the best to me because it was tart and not overly sweet. It doesn't really taste like hibiscus to me, more like a berry of some kind. Voodoo doll is cute but the chocolate layer on top is THICK so it's pretty sweet. The cream pie one was horrible; the cream inside tastes so artificial it tastes like one of those plastic food toys. It was very difficult to eat and I wouldn't recommend that to anyone. The cake ones look tiny compared to the other normal flavors. Perhaps I ordered wrong but I don't think I would come back. read more

Voodoo Doughnut - Portland Cream, Voodoo Doll, Viscous Hibiscus - Donuts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Knocking off a star because of the location, but otherwise a great donut spot! I'm someone who does not like sweets. But, I love an apple cider donut, and Voodoo's cinnamon sugar donut is pretty similar (just no apple cider flavor, of course)! Always hits the spot. There is only ever 1-2 employees working outside of the kitchen (not sure about in the kitchen, because you can see inside too much), and they are always friendly! Nevertheless, this spot is only convenient if you are traveling through town and feel brave enough to go to 6th, or if you are an undergrad already going out on dirty 6th street. And when I say dirty, I mean literally very very dirty. Think rats, feces, and vomit. Sadly, when I went to Voodoo this weekend (my friends and I were walking through downtown Austin for some F1 events, so we were in the area) there was a massive splash of vomit right outside the doors of Voodoo. Mind you, this was at maybe 4pm. read more

What in the actual heck did I just spend $20 on? Certainly not fresh, flavorful doughnuts. More like overpriced sugar goop bricks with a side of regret. This is the Roppolo's Pizza of doughnuts--fun to stumble into after a few drinks, but a hard no if you're sober and craving something remotely delicious. We ordered a Portland cream, a blueberry cake, a buttermilk "log" of some sort, an old fashioned, a cinnamon sugar and a powdered sugar. Not one was fresh. Not one was good. Not even memorable--except for how universally disliked they were by every single member of the family. The one saving grace? The staff. Friendly, fast, and deserving of the tip I happily left. Honestly, if the doughnuts were even half as good as the service, this review would be going a whole different direction. While it's Easter Sunday... a great day for Jesus, but a truly sad one for our taste buds. Boo on VoodDoo. We went, we tried, we won't return. read more

I'll make this short and sweet: way overrated. Skip it, and find something better to pay at an overpriced rate. The donuts are fine, but they are significantly better looking than they taste. On top of it, the employees seem to be as miserable as it gets; I'm sure it's not a fun job working in that location, but the side of rude they serve is unnecessary. read more

Ordered a few donuts to try as the hotel staff had recommended this location. The line was super short, the location had neat decor and staff was friendly. However, the donuts were not impressive.

Yum yummy for our tummy. We stopped in here at 1am and the donuts still looked fresh. We decided to grab breakfast for the next morning and sweet treat for a night cap. Venue was nicely decorated. Plenty of Voodoo Swag and coffee to purchase. This is only my second time at Voodoo and I have been meaning to try the new one in West Loop (Chicago). Big selection even at 1am. We opted to share the Tart donut before bed, which taste like a strawberry pop tart. So good. For breakfast my husband got a fancy donut and I just got the chocolate glaze, which he said is boring but I like simplicity with my coffee. Good experience here minus the person strung out drugs laying in the middle of the street. I would say this location is not for kiddos as there was giant penis donut (Austin Pride) and heavy drug users right out side the door. read more

Wednesday 7/24/2024 I got the dirt (cookies n cream) $4, strawberry go-tart $4, and apple fritter $4.50. - The dirt (cookies & cream) was alright but was a bit dry and tasted stale rather than fresh (especially the cookie toppings). - The strawberry go tart was solid but only the ends had the strawberry filling while the middle had nothing so it would've been a lot better if it was filled throughout the entire donut. - The apple fritter was my favorite of the 3 and tasted a lot better when warmed up. Overall, this was an alright donut spot and could've been better if the donuts were fresher and made a better but it's not bad by any means. If I was ranking the donuts I'd say: Apple fritter, go tart, and then dirt. read more

I gotta admit, I love sweets but since my metabolism doesn't agree with my age I stay away from them as much as possible. However, when I lived in Kansas City back in 2017 I remember watching some food/travel network show and this place from Seattle called Voodoo Donuts was featured. I thought to myself, boy that's one cool place and I'd love to see it, but I'm not traveling cross country for a donut; after all, I'm not Homer Simpson. Fast forward to 2024 and living in Austin, which now has a Voodoo Donuts, I decided I have a few calories to spare so I'm gonna spike my sugar levels to a near death experience, of which only "voodoo" can bring me back. Located in a relatively safe part of town on Pecan St, I found parking at 9pm on Friday was fairly easy. That said I've been anticipating my trip for some time so I brought my hunger and sweet tooth through the hallowed doors. The ambiance is low key almost as if everything was thrown together with the last pennies from the owners' pants pockets, yet it works. Chandeliers of brass next to one's created from tree branches, an American flag of lights, brick walls of mismatched colors and basic tables with yard sale chairs. Yet I felt comfortable. The menus are hard to see but they have cases of donuts with cards so crisis averted! Actually I'm a sociable person so I wanted to strike up a conversation anyways. The cashier was knowledgeable and simply a joy to talk to as she was enthusiastic about her product and my presence. With all the fun and interesting combinations, the coffee needs a series upgrade to compliment the rest of the food. My coffee was the most boring part of my visit and honestly my home coffee is better. After you get the coffee, you have a couple creamers and some sweeteners for self-serve. No crazy lattes or mochas here just the most basic brown caffeinated liquid is offered. Ok, enough of the supporting cast lets get into the A list stars of this show. My first donut was the maple old fashioned. A great little concoction of cake dough with a strong maple frosting. Next was their flagship pastry the "Voodoo Doll." This is a BIG tour de sugar force and is a meal in and of itself. Tons of chocolate icing hides the seed-free raspberry jelly filled figure that looks like Beetlejuice on a bad day with a pretzel through his evil heart. It's really good but I literally felt sleepy after eating it with all the sugar coursing through my veins. The Strawberry Go-Tart is an interesting creation trying to simulate a pop-tart and while it didn't nail the flavor exactly it's a darn tasty pastry. The Homer is a normal donut dipped in strawberry frosting and sprinkles on it, ala what Homer Simpson eats. It was decent but not exactly memorable. I saved my favorite for last, the Portland Cream. This is another one of those HUGE undertakings as I tried to eat it after the voodoo. It's a great big yeast beast stuffed with a wonderful Bavarian cream that will make you slap your mommy and thank your dog. I'm a prisoner of what I like so this was my favorite, bar none. Overall, I don't think you can go wrong at Voodoo and I didn't even scratch the surface of many of their offerings. Once my kids see I went, I'm sure they'll want to come with me and get anything with bacon on it (I'm not big on swine). While I was disappointed with the coffee I think of it like going to a Metallica concert and complaining about the opening act. The food ROCKS. So go to the gym often and save room for thousands of calories of tasty goodness. MMMMM... Donuts... ahhh.... read more

My sister and I each placed an order online for pick up at 10:45pm on a Tuesday night. It said they would be ready in 15-20 minutes. The location was about 15 minutes from the hotel, so that was fine. I got my son a regular glazed. I got a blueberry cake one and a maple old fashioned. I also got an ice coffee with mocha and oak milk. We arrived at 10:58pm. The inside area is decent in size but above average for a doughnut shop. With a stage, I assume that have live music at times. I enjoyed the pink decor and the artwork. There was a family in front of us. When it was our time, our order was boxed and ready but our coffee wasn't. The staff proceeded to make our coffees. The box is pink and appealing. When the coffee was ready, I did not like mine at all. It was nasty. I exchanged it for what my sister got (ice latte with caramel and oak milk). The remake tasted much better! I add the blueberry cake doughnut and it was as suspected but smaller. My son's glazed was huge! I ate the maple old fashioned the next day for breakfast. It was good. I'll note that with the wait time, I thought they made them fresh with each order. They were already made an on tray. I honestly would've just ordered when I got there had I known that so I could see the products in person. The employees weee friendly and helpful, which is always nice. I did notice a person who appeared to be unhoused sleeping on the stage area. There were a couple others lingering outside the entrance as well. read more
