Great service. She (hate that I didn't get her name) was very patient with me while I took time deciding what I wanted and made calls to complete other orders. Told her she can be creative on my doughnut and I was very pleased. I will be returning. Not only are the doughnuts good but the service was great.
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!
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!
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.
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.
Loved the donut selection at this iconic place Staff were great Super cute trendy pink decor A little overpriced in my opinion If you have kids - watch out for the "sexy shaped" donuts!! A must stop in Austin
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.
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!
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.
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.
Really good donuts -- great variety. The place is spacious but gets interesting traffic lol. Had gotten VD before in Miami, good stuff!
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.
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.

How fresh is the donuts ? I do not know but the ones that I tried wasn't to crazy, I guess it's A hype if you are in 6st you gotta check it out but it's nothing too crazy the taste is the there I felt it wasn't that fresh, my favorite was the Portland cream. We had like 5 flavors, we only finished the glaze and the Portland cream in two days. read more
I thought you could only find Voodoo donuts in Portland, so I was delighted to stumble upon this Gem on 6th street. I'd say the donuts live up to the hype... we stopped by in the afternoon and thought the donut was still fresh and tasty! There was plenty of seating, clean bathrooms and of course delicious sweets. I think I'm going to grab a box on the way out of town to treat some friends. read more
Voodoo Doughnut on 6th street takes credit cards!! I've been a number of times but finally am reviewing it. I got the Butterfinger donut and the Oreo one. So good! Friendly staff. read more

Thanks for visiting!
The place is too cute and delicious!! The donut selection is overwhelming!! So many great options!! I only wish I had a group of friends to spilt them with!! But I was in town solo. I opted for the maple blazer blunt! So delicious!! read more
Admittedly, I'm writing this review after only tasting one doughnut. But I was THAT impressed that I hopped onto yelp immediately to share my experience. I've been excited to try this place since before I even moved anywhere near a voodoo doughnut location. I saw them on tv YEARS ago and have been curious about them ever since. When I moved to Austin and noticed there was a location in downtown I knew I would make a stop in ASAP. Well, it took me a little longer than I intended but today, I finally walked in to give it a try! The store is pretty large, with a stage to the left as you walk in. They have these awesome display cases of the doughnuts so you can easily see which ones you want to try and their names. The cashier was incredibly friendly and took my order. When I tossed in a last minute blueberry cake doughnut her face lit up and she told me it was her favorite and I made a good choice. With all that enthusiasm, I couldn't wait to give it a try. I paid and immediately sat at a table to take a bite (after getting a picture for yelp of course). Their blueberry cake doughnut is by far the best one I've ever had. It's bursting with flavor, the perfect amount of sweet, and yes...moist (I hate the word too, but how else do you describe it?). I also got a classic glaze, dirt, voodoo doll, and cinnamon sugar and I can't wait to give them a try!! read more
So listen up, whatever you do You need to get rid of this hoodoo Your donuts taste like crap Which you eat while you fap But instead go and get some at Voodoo! Most of the things that I like about this place have nothing to do with the donuts. I like that it's open really late. I like the really friendly service. I like the not too bad prices. I love the decor. The huge American the on flag is awesome even though I have nothing in common with patriotism and blindly going to war against smaller nations in order to extract the resources and convince your own people that they are the enemy so that they will fund the damn war. Ahem. The bathrooms are awful and stinky but at least they have bathrooms. A shame they don't spend a little bit more of that donut money on keeping them nice. But I guess they wouldn't stay nice for very long especially in a town like this, in an area like this. Like I said I like that it is here and I like a lot of things about it but the donuts themselves are mediocre at the very best. I wish they would put out a better product. They taste Bland and dry and a little stale and based on the donut alone they would get one or two stars, but I do bump them up because of the facilities that they have, their wonderful hours, and that they are really nice people. read more
The donuts themselves are pretty good, nothing too special about the dough or anything. But where they stand out is in the flavors. I'm definitely coming back for the Grape Ape and Mango Tango. And it doesn't hurt that the donuts are relatively cheap while being decently sized. I love that the store is almost always open and you can pop in whenever you want donuts, and I love how the store is decorated, it's just a very chill place to be. One thing I wish was more handy was to have maybe like plastic forks and knives out so it would be easier to share. Not the biggest issue, but definitely something to keep in mind! read more

They never disappoint! We ordered all vegan options and my son loves the voodoo doll with the red jelly filling and the maple cream filled are just incredible! It's crazy busy every hour of the day it seems so we ordered ahead and they were ready to go! read more
Voodoo donut- we've all heard of it, and know it's known. The pink aesthetic is catchy and makes the place fun. The vast selection of donuts, ranging from simple to fancy schmancy, ensure that no matter the taste bud or dietary restriction, everyone will find something to fit their tastes. The donuts are huge! Which also means they're full of sugar. So for me, it's rare I make it through a full one. But for the sweet tooth folks, this is your place! read more

Visited on a summer trip to Austin. Cute location and decor. Wide variety of donuts to choose from. Solid donuts but nothing special in my opinion. My favorite was the maple blaze one. read more

We're so happy this visit was a win!
Before what was once a Portland phenomenon is now an Austin staple. Where weird lives, lives Voodoo Doughnut. Such variety and variation but quite inexpensive. The most expensive doughnut is about 3 bucks. Well worth the calories and bragging rights. Indulge. read more
Not getting the vibe of why this place is so popular, yes they have a very large selection of donuts and very unique but it was a long wait at least on weekends, the line is about 30mins. It might be good for tourists but i don't like donut that's fancy and there are better donuts I have had in Austin. read more
Must Visit! I was so excited to visit Voodoo Doughnuts and it not only met all my expectations but exceeded. The experience was perfect from the decor of the location to the wonderful staff who took the time and treated each customer like the only one. Thank you for Making me feel special. The line moved fast for the amount of people, ordering and check out was a breeze and lots of tables and seating areas for big and small party's. The price point is perfect for the quality and service. We ordered the Voodoo filled with jelly. The jelly was thick but light on flavor which worked well with the tasty and Airiness of the doughnut. We also Ordered a classic vanilla glazed type doughnut and again just perfect in taste and texture. read more

Love the donuts from here and the variety is great. My favorite is the Grape Ape and the Hi Tea(seasonal). My kids love the Dirt donut and we decided to try the Vicious Hibiscus as well as the Birthday cake donut with Red, White and blue sprinkles. The Hi tea is the best seasonal donut in my opinion. Grape ape definitely leaves you with a tart and tangy taste but sweet afternotes. The dirt was devoured by my teens and now is listed as their favorite go to. The birthday cake was okay and the donuts could have been fresher but love the ambiance in the store as well as the funky displays and decor. read more

I'm not the biggest fan of doughnuts, I definitely see the appeal of this place. Their creative and funny doughnuts are definitely unique to Austin and its weird culture, and I'm glad I tried it! Before going, I'd recommend looking at their online menu since the one in person isn't the most descriptive and you can't just stare at the rotating cabinets of donuts trying to decide your purchase. Their signature is the Voodoo Doughnut, which is a donut shaped like a voodoo doll, and from what i heard from my coworkers, it was delicious. However, it seems like a batch of them were underbaked, but they were nice enough to exchange the underbaked one for another doughnut from a different batch. I wanted the C&Balls one, but unfortunately they were out. Instead, I got the Portland Cream (just like a Boston cream) and the Dirt (Oreo and cream doughnut). They definitely were good, but a total sugar overload! Overall, a good stop in Austin to experience and wouldn't mind going back for seconds! read more

Coworkers asked us to meet them here for dessert and as donut shops are trending, we decided to check it out. The line was pretty long for 8pm, but everyone needs a donut fix at some point in the day, right? After looking at the extensive menu of raised yeast, cake, and vegan donuts, I knew I needed to try a Voodoo, because yanno, it's the franchise's name and in the case, it looked kinda cute. Plus, it was a raspberry jelly filled with chocolate glaze raised yeast donut-who wouldn't want that? My friend ordered the Portland Cream, a "Raised yeast shell filled with Bavarian cream and topped with chocolate and two eyeballs, representing the vision of the great city of Portland." Yep-another store staple. I tried to get a milk (because yep, I'm a kid at heart who likes milk with her dessert) and they were sadly all out. Guess I'm not the only one out there with this habit (unless it's only kids ordering that and well, pffft). The donut was very fresh. It was oozing with raspberry jelly, which wasn't the best jelly I'd tasted out of a donut. The frosting was a bit too sweet for me (less chocolatey, more sugary), so it wasn't as good as I'd hoped. It was huge though (says the girl who rarely eats dessert), so what it lacked in disliked flavor, it made up for in size. Whoever decorated our donuts did not have the artistic hand as those fake ones in the case. Just sayin'. My friend seemed to really like hers. All in all, if you've got a sweet tooth, really like donuts, long lines and trendy flavors, definitely give them a chance. read more
They take credit cards now! My first time visiting Austin and this place was calling my name so I figured why the hell not. Normally I like my donuts Plain Jane, maybe a glazed one with some sprinkles if I'm feeling spontaneous, but i desperately needed a break from BBQ so here we are. I really enjoyed the Hibiscus glazed donut with chocolate sprinkles. My boyfriend went a little crazy and ordered a dozen (a dozen i didn't eat) but they looked pretty :) read more
Loved the idea of a doughnut joint open late night but after having gone to get a sweet pick me up after a night out...maybe not? Got a glazed doughnut and it was pretty dry, a little dense. Maybe going during the day will ensure fresher quality. read more

My wonderful sister delivered the Voodoo dozen to me for my birthday, and while the gesture was so wonderful, the donuts left a lot to be desired and I'm honestly shocked that these donuts have become so popular. I was so excited when I got the delivery, but from the moment Took a bite, I could tell these were stale. Like, next day stale. I was so confused, and after doing some research I found that the voo doo dozen are a batch of old donuts, and it tasted like it. Save your money and opt for something else instead. At this price point and quality, I know I won't be back. Sad. read more

5 stars for donuts 1 star for service Drove all the way from galveston [bd month] been here all week and wanted a voodoo donut...got am voodoo doll...filled w/raspberry jam...yum. got one topped w/fruit loops...and one pink w/chocolate sprrinkles....OMG...huge and yummy there was a line but, it went quick. the dude working the closest register to the front of the line was a TURD. young guy...with a bad attitude. there was a sign about $5 something...i really didnt get it and, when i thought maybe it was a $5 min...he just grunted when asked. i was like...o...k. i got the first donuts, no problem...but, when i asked for the dark pink one w/chocolate...he brought the pale pink one w/sprinkles. i told him, sorry, no..the dark one...he literally turned around and threw the pale pink donut towards the trash can...but, he missed the can so the donut fell to floor. i was like...ohhh nooo, im sorry you didnt have to throw it away, i would have taken it. he IGNORED me. at that point, i just shut up. HE totally RUINED my experience. saturday november 17 @315pm VOODOO check this boy! read more

If you want beautiful but tasteless and stale donuts with slow and rude service, come on down to VooDoo Donuts! We went the first time on a quiet Tuesday night. One would think the staff would be happy to see customers - not really. The donuts were beautiful but tasteless. We tried them again on the following Saturday night. This time the place was swamped. You might think when they're busy the donuts would be fresher... Nope, just as dry, tasteless and stale. The staff moved slow and demonstrated no manners whatsoever. The best part about the whole experience was throwing out the leftovers and leaving. If someone told you this was a 'must' experience place, they were pulling your leg and I've got a bridge to sell you! Hey, is there an owner or manager around? You may want to provide some customer service training or find staff that actually appreciate having a job. Good things may come in pink boxes, but it's certainly not VooDoo Donuts. read more

Vegan reviewI was so excited to find a place that sells vegan donuts along side regular donuts. It makes life so much easier when you are with ppl who are not vegan. We ordered half a dozen at 2pm, they still had all the ones we wanted in stock. We went & picked up them & they were great!!! The donuts are huge & very "cake like", they are thick. They have a few options for vegan kinds & even the non-vegans couldn't tell the difference. Overall definitely a great place to try. Vegan or not #HAPPY_EATING read more

The donuts here are amazing! They have a decent amount of vegan options, and they all seem to be yeast donuts except the fritter. The donuts are MASSIVE and delicious. I really like the vegan mape creme one and the fritter. I wasn't a huge fan of "school daze" (a PBJ donut) but I think that's mostly because I eat a lot of peanut butter already and like trying different flavors. I would definitely eat all of them again but. my god, that creme one is sooo yummy! They have cute souvenir type things too, although I so far have come here just for the donuts. Yum! read more

This place was close to our hotel so we had to check it out. Delicious donuts great service and clean. Nice assortment of donuts also serve the regular stuff if your not into m&ms and Oreos lol. If your in the area I recommend stopping by. read more
As a voodoo fanboy, my 5/5 may be skewed. However, I just completed the holy triad of Voodoo donuts. I've been to the Portland and Denver locations and this one was probably the best. It was a lot bigger for one, albeit we're in Texas. But it just felt a lot more efficient. Perhaps it was just the time of day that we went, but it was 7pm on a Saturday. Wasn't busy at all. Love this place just simply for the variety. Definitely would visit again and it's a must for nothing else other than the novelty. I'm sure Austinites would argue there's better donuts here, but I don't care. Go eat a voodoo donut and be happy. read more

What can i say but WOW! First time having these and talk about sugar rush lol. We meet up with friends for lunch and she stopped and grabbed donuts for us. I got the voodoo donut and the capn my capn. So sweet! They are good I'm telling you but just sweet. On the voodoo i was a little disappointed that there was no jelly in the middle. I thought it would be where the pretzel stick was stuck in but it was in the foot area of it. And it had some but like 1/8 teaspoon worth. Either way i loved the chocolate on it and how fluffy it was. We also got the Old Dirty Bastard, the one with Oreo on it, and the bubble gum one. The bubble gum was just plain in taste to me. But the best one and we all agree was the Old Dirty Bastard. Delicious!!!! If you go please try it you won't regret it. read more
-I had a friend pick these up for me since it's so dam far and way to much traffic. He said it was empty and he even found parking based on a Sunday. - I only made him get it based on the ratings online and clearly am not even impressed -While the donuts are beautifully decorated some are tasty some are not. I have to say my personal fav was blueberry and the one with bacon and maple. - I really don't know what the big deal is about this place I did not like the actual donut itself. The texture of the donut is really strange has a strange texture and flavor to it. - While it's highly priced and pretty looking am not sure what others are buying I'd be curious to know though maybe he just got the wrong ones. read more

Ask the Community - Voodoo Doughnut
Are you open for business?
Yes! We are currently open everyday from noon to midnight.
Are dogs allowed?
Yes, unless they say otherwise. If they allow the homeless to sleep at the tables then I dont see why they would turn away a Pup.
Around how much does it cost to do custom donuts and is there a minimum you have to order?
I've heard they have a 10 dollar bucket filled with donuts! Is this only at certain times? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Buckets are usually available in the morning from 6-7 am Monday - Wednesday and sometimes on other days (depends how busy it was after midnight).…
