I happened to be in the area and wanted to try this donut shop. What really drew me in was rye pink color on the building. Since I'm not the biggest fan of donuts with any type of filling I purchased a cinnamon and sugar donut. It was just okay. Nothing I'd come back for but I wanted to give this location a shout to for the amazing customer service of Zack. My friend and I came through the drive in and he smiled, friendly, and told us to have a goodnight. The fact that it was after six in the evening it was good to know that he was in a pleasant mood. Overall I'd say to try it but I'm not sure what to suggest.
I went to this shop around 7 PM wanting a sweet treat after dinner. However, I was disappointed. I used to frequent Voodoo donuts back in college when I lived in Austin, and no matter the time of day (even 2 am), the donuts always tasted fresh and delicious. At that time, Voodoo donuts was not in a lot of cities, so I wonder if that has something to do with the quality. The Homer donut was good but nothing special as it is pretty hard to get strawberry glaze with sprinkles wrong. The texture of the dough was not as fluffy as a donut should be, but it remained soft, which was nice. The DOB ended up tasting incredibly soggy and stale, and I ended up throwing most of it away. There also was not a solid layer of frosting on it as there should be. However, I do appreciate the breadth of vegan options that the store has. They did not have any plastic utensils which would have been helpful for sharing since the donuts are so large. Service was quick and easy, the place was empty so it was easy to sit down and enjoy. I don't believe I will be back any time soon.
So I looked for nearby places/bakeries with vegan options. I was surprised (but then again, not that surprised) that Voodoo was listed as having vegan options. They have a whole vegan donut menu. I won't lie, even looking at the menu had me incredibly intrigued. I finally landed on the vegan Portland Cream. The cashier was nice. I really enjoy the energy inside of this Voodoo location. There is no good reason for this vegan donut to have tasted as deeply delicious as it did. Rest assured vegan voodoo donuts will enter my regular rotation for day I indulge. That being said, for a donut place, Voodoo is quite expensive, but given their ability to accommodate various dietary needs as a delicious donut spot the price is worth it!
Those donuts definitely put a spell on you! My kids were in heaven with every donut they ate. We got a mixture of the homer, apple fritter, strawberry something, blueberry cake and a few others. The homer was the size of my kid's head. I wish I would have gotten the cashier's name but he was great and patient. I'm not a big donut person so I'm indecisive when it comes to them and he really did try to help me. Love the vibes and decor. Not a lot of seats but there's a drive thru so you can Just wear them in your car.
Yesterday was National Donut day and so I brought my coworkers a dozen donuts for our last day of work! Summer break has finally arrived and this was such perfect timing. $12 for a dozen with one additional for free!!! I live 3 mins away and so this location is my location! Service was great by the morning staff and at first they thought I was another customer by the same name but different spelling. As they were loading donuts I noticed they were not mine, they apologized and mentioned it was such a coincidence. Welp, the other customer, Sara arrived and we had a laugh and greeted each other. Thank you for helping start my day with these delicious pink donuts they are so me and so cute to just look at. My coworkers were so happy as they are used to Shipleys and so when I bring them Voodoo they just LOVE me even more:) Have a great summer everyone!
First time here and could not wait to check this one off the list. The options on donuts can be overwhelming. You simply have to pick what you want and stick with your decision. I chose the D.O.B. Chocolate and Peanut Butter Donut. The only negatives here were the dining area and restrooms were in need of some attention. Service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be coming back. Kudos to the guy who served us. He looked through the donut choices and pulled out ones that were not up to serving standards. This was nice to see happen as it's always disappointing to get a stale donut.
Great atmosphere with the way everything is set up, all donuts on a revolving display. They also had a poster and menu with all available donuts. Had a hard time deciding which to try. Ordered the banana cream donut, it was ok, overly sweet with a strange after taste. Staff was friendly. If you're wanting to try something out of the ordinary there are plenty of choices here to try. Would return to try a different donut.
I haven't had Voodoo Doughnuts in awhile! Our realtor was super sweet and always does a Father's Day Voodoo Doughnut treat. I grabbed a great box, and the blueberry and cinnamon donuts were great! definitely love a good little treat. Parking can kinda be a mess, but they do have a drive thru, which is nice!
Zach was awesome! He was kind, patient and customer service was on point. Typically the place is lit up and doughnut cases are picture perfect but tonight the place was looking a little rough. Chandeliers were off and it almost appeared that they were closing. Nevertheless, I got what I came for tonight. I wanted to participate in the 12 days of voodoo! Today was half off of pink tote bags and yes I got one!! And of course doughnuts...glaze, a homer and blueberry cake. Happy Yelping!
This place never does you wrong the doughnuts are legendary I like the ODB and the one with mango
Being from Louisville, people always posted about going to Voodoo on trips and how good it was. I was excited to see I was finally going to get to try it! They were open late, they had a ton of different donuts in a rotating display case to choose from. I like that the doughnuts had creative designs and flavors. All the ones I chose were fluffy and delicious. If you're looking for a great spin on the traditional doughnut- don't hesitate. They have so many options. They're iconic and well known in the foodie community for a reason. They also offer merchandise.
Omg - can you say exquisitely delicious?! These donuts are not your typical donut. They've got funky flavors and fun, funky names to go right with them! Chocolate Bavarian Cannolo and Dirt are my two favorites - with Dirt being #1. My mouth is watering right now just THINKING about how delicious it is! It's a plain donut topped with vanilla icing and Oreo cookie pieces. To. Die. For. They've got a drive-thru which is super great seeing as the first few times I've tried these donuts out has been during this oh-so-fun pandemic. The customer service is great and the donuts are very reasonably priced. TOO reasonably priced, if you ask me, because I can afford to buy waaay too many at one time.
I've heard many great things about Voodoo donuts in Austin. On Saturday morning at 11:30am, I decided to try out the new Houston location drive thru line. The parking lot is very small. For a Heights location, that was no surprise to me. I waited in the drive thru line for about 30 minutes. There are plenty of signs with all the donuts listed as you wait. I ordered 7 donuts: Mango Tango, Coconut Guava, Butterfingering, Sprinkle cake donut, Old Dirty Bastard, Maple Bacon Bar, Hi-Tea. Mango Tango- 5/10. My least fave. Tang was a childhood memory that should've stayed in my past but my donut was fresh. Coconut Guava- 9/10. A great combo of flavors and creative. Loved it. Butterfingering- 8/10 I absolutely love cake donuts and this was great but it was so much smaller than my other donuts. Sprinkle Cake Donut- 9/10 The best cake donut I've ever had, just wish it was a little bigger. Old Dirty Bastard- 9/10- big fan of this flavor combo but the Oreo was very soft. Wish it was a little more fresh. Maple Bacon Bar- 9/10 highly impressed with how well balanced this donut was. So fresh. Hi-Tea- 7/10- not as strong of a flavor as I was looking for but still a great donut. My cashier was super nice and told me Saturday Is their busiest day. I'll be back on a different day! read more

Go check it out. The line is fInally reasonable. I've tried the bacon maple, Homer, blueberry cake, Bavarian cream (it's called something else here), grape, Captain Crunch (?) and Voodoo donut. My fave is the Homer, followed by the blueberry cake donut (something I would not have thought to try if it didn't come highly recommended by the employee). It's a nice treat for my little one, when i want to reward him, and it makes a great "shareable dish" when you're invited to a dinner party. read more

It's 2am. Katz, Ihop, House of Pies, Shipleys on I-10 or Voodoo Doughnut? Voodoo wins every time. Unfortunately for my cholesterol, but fortunately for anyone looking for advice, here's a few things I've learned about the donuts. Do you trust my tastebuds? *The yeast donuts are huge, sweet, thick and definitely sharable. My cake donut picks are somehow less sweet? *If you're easily offended by voodoo doll and giant dick shaped desserts this may not be the donut shop for you *they offer vegan options & surprising delicious smooth yet strong coffee *I like to keep in mind that these are specialty donuts, placed in a separate category from Shipley and Krispy Creme *I always make a custom box, it IS allowed *dirt is my friends favorite (a classic cookies & cream) but I prefer fresh cookies *chuckles tastes better than the old dirty bastard (I wouldn't have guessed either but try both and if you disagree we can bicker about it in the messages) *the chocolate ring is a giant version of the classic *the homer is delicious, yeasty, sweet, another classic *both the maple bar and the bacon maple bar are requested again & again by friends so if your making a sample box I'd include them (maple bar is vegan) *Portland cream is the Boston cream. The chocolate used is a perfect pairing to the Bavarian cream *The Raspberry Romeo is not exactly "jelly filled", but the filling is fitting and delicious *Voodoo doll is cute but doing Portland cream or raspberry Romeo taste better separately instead of combined *viscous hibiscus is one of the strangest donuts I've ever tried but I find myself ordering it every time *the cinnamon sugar cake, blueberry cake & buttermilk bars all make fantastic guilty breakfasts *the ring of fire- I know this is a divisive donut but my tastebud are unwilling to accept...but it's fun to share with friends *the Apple fritter is one of the biggest "donuts" I've ever purchased That's all I've got. Thank you for attending my TED talk read more

Stopped by Voodoo Doughnut to see what the hype was about! I've passed by it a couple of times and I've always noticed tons of cars lined up! Today, after working out (hehehe), I stopped by as the crowd was light. It is very cute inside. There is a neon Texas sign that appealed to me. There isn't much seating inside, maybe about 5 tables total. They have several choices in doughnuts, I got the Homer which is a doughnut with pink icing and sprinkles along with a coffee. Overall, it's not bad. Would I wait in line for this--no, but on a light crowd day, it's cool to stop and get a doughnut. The staff was friendly. I parked in the front, parking lot is not that big, however, there is some street parking along the side. read more
Definitely one of the better donut places I've been to. Their menu has a lot of unique and interesting flavors to try. I actually went in thinking I was going to get 3-4 donuts, and then saw the menu and kept adding donuts until it was around 6-7, which the price came out to be around $17. Then I noticed they had a Voodoo Dozen deal where they give you a dozen donuts for $20. It's a great deal because the Voodoo Dozen has a lot of their unique and interesting flavors in there, many of which I probably would have ordered on my own anyways. In terms of the donuts, their yeast donuts have great rise and are very fluffy and large! - We added on a hibiscus donut because that was one of the flavors we really wanted to try that wasn't included in the Voodoo dozen. I'd say it's definitely worth the extra $3. It has an interesting flavor that would be hard to find elsewhere. It's kind of tangy and floral. - The captain crunch donut was okay. The cereal on top was a little stale, so it didn't add the crunch factor you'd expect. - Their grape donut was also okay. The grape flavor is pretty artificial and in my opinion didn't go super well with the donut, but some people might like it! - I really liked the Dirt donut (oreo). I'm normally just a big fan of oreo, so if you are too, you will love it. They really pack on the oreo, which is amazing. The oreos themselves are also not really crunchy anymore though. - The Homer Simpson is a classic. You will like it if you like glazed sprinkle donuts! Overall, I'd recommend going for some of the more interesting flavors here! Some of the more standard donuts were good, but not far from other places where you can get similar kinds of donuts (like the regular glazed, cinnamon, etc). read more

Austin's finest doughnuts are now available in H-Town! Seriously, the best doughnuts in town. Voodoo has personality and a definite swag and attitude about themselves. Perfect place for revitalizing Washington Ave. read more
The positives are the fun donuts and yummy fudgey chocolate toppings! The raspberry filling was delicious and used to represent something different. The downside they couldn't really do any variations on the donuts. Not even a basic glazed dipped in chocolate after. Lol. read more
I was soooo excited to check our Voodoo Doughnut because it's been on my list forever. This is a big name in the doughnut business! Came by on a holiday weekday morning and the shop was busy. Not super packed but there were several customers. I saw one person who took one bite of her doughnut for Insta and then discarded the rest of it. The store is really cute so it's definitely 'gram worthy. It was super hard to choose which doughnuts to try but my husband and I finally narrowed it down to: 1. Apple fritter- this was my husband's favorite. Not super sweet but the dough seemed a bit undercooked. 2. Oh Captain, My Captain- I was so disappointed by this doughnut. The Cap'n Crunch was stale and the frosting was so so so sweet. Like pure sugar. The doughnut was on the stale-ish side as well. 3. Peanut cake- great tasting doughnut but again, kind of stale. 4. Powdered sugar cake- it was fine; didn't blow me away. I have to agree with some of the other reviewers here that said their doughnuts didn't taste fresh- mine didn't either. Since doughnuts are essentially a bread product, they taste best freshly made. And these didn't seem freshly made. It was kinda disappointing. I took a star off for that and another one because these doughnuts are just too sickly sweet for me. 4 stars for amazing flavor selection and cool merchandise, though. read more
Their line was a little long still, but after about a 20 minute wait, we made it in. Extremely worth it. The donuts are just made perfectly, sweet but not too much. They are on the bigger side so the prices are justified i think. Also got to try one of their specialties (attached pic)...which ended up being their biggest one made all day actually. Definitely worth it and enough for at least 3 people read more
Man! I've driven by this place soooo many times and said "dang I need to go there" lol! Well I finally did and it was totally worth it. Not going to lie, we went late in the evening so some of the donuts had been sitting out for a while so they were a little stale but still really good. The ladies working there were super sweet. They even made me a special request donut which was freakin awesome! I got a glazed with chocolate icing and coconuts. read more

Voodoo Donuts I learned about this place on my trip to Denver, Colorado in 2016. I found the location in Austin, Texas earlier this year. Now I had to stop by the one in Houston, Texas and try out their selection. You can't go wrong with a nice vegan bear claw. This is the only establishment I found to do a vegan bear claw that tastes better than the original. Took my family here for a post Thanksgiving outing. It was the experience the kids truly enjoyed and it brought back fond memories for us adults. read more

I came here early on a Sunday morning. Plenty of parking in the lot, none of the crazy lines I usually see. Maybe that happens later in the morning. There wasn't a line inside and I was served right away. Customer service was friendly but not too intrusive and over the top, which I appreciate. I ordered the Vicious Hibiscus to go since it was something different that I've never had elsewhere. If someone asked me to identify the flavor without knowing that it was hibiscus, I don't think I would have been able to guess. Then again, maybe I just don't know what hibiscus tastes like. It kinda tasted like strawberry or raspberry. Either way it was fine. I was really impressed by the size of the donut. It costed $3.00 and it was definitely bigger than your standard Shipley's donut. One was enough for me. I'll probably return and try a more traditional flavor or one which I know would certainly taste like. read more

Thanks for visiting and sharing about your experience! We look…
What do you do when you crave something sweet at 2am in the morning? Drive to voodoo and get these donuts! My all time favorite is their Captain Crunch donut and that was killer. All donuts were delicious and worth the late night drive! Money well spent! read more

The manager and employees were super nice!!!!! The inside of the shop is very clean and I really loved the rotating donut stand! They had soooo many donut options and the stand made them all the more desirable!! Also, each of their donuts taste like a warm soft cake where the frosting melts in your mouth. I would recommend the Chocolate donut, chocolate doughnut and the homer donuts! Yesssss! Tell them I sent you when you go! read more

We sent you a DM about this experience.
I have officially lived long enough to experience what Donut Heaven must feel like. Soft. Hot. Fluffy. Crunchy. Fresh. I'm going to keep it short and straight to the point: I think I'm pretty picky about everything in life, so when I give Voodoo 5 stars, I truly mean it from the bottom of my fluffy, donut heart. In order of best to not best but still good: 1. Old Fashioned dipped in Chocolate - this round crinkly donut was fresh out the oven yall. And our cashier pulled on some gloves after taking our order and dipped it in chocolate himself. It was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and the perfect perfect perfect sweetness of chocolate on the outside. I could have honestly eaten 3-5 of these in one sitting. If you get this one, ask for it fresh and eat it IMMEDIATELY. 2. Old Dirty Bastard - Oreos and peanut butter have and will always go well together. Pair this with a fluffy donut. 100,000,00x yes. Please get this. If you don't like it, I will personally take offense and refund you. 3. Glazed Donut - the donut in its original, delicate form. Soft and fluffy yet chewy. I love Round Rocks donuts, but this is even better. I know, hard to believe. Just get it. No hesitating. 4. Boston Cream - not bad, but too sweet for me. I read so many reviews before coming and it seemed like most people loved this one and didn't think it was too sweet. So I was a bit disappointed on how sweet it was, but the flavors were really good and if you are sharing and just have a bite or two, that's more than enough! Just. I can't wait to come back here. Like maybe once a week? read more
I've come here twice where I've tried the voodoo dozen and the classic dozen. The classic dozen is your general bundle of typical doughnut types like chocolate, powder, sprinkle ect(with their own unique names) while the voodoo dozen has more " speciality" types that come in unique shapes and flavors. Honestly trying these I thought these doughnuts sort of tasted OK. I feel shipley's and your other typical doughnut brands do some of the more classic flavors better. It tastes more like I'm biting into a bunch of sugar rather than unique flavors if that makes sense. I suppose much of the appeal of these comes more from the picture friendly looks these doughnuts have with even the box that they come in looking very presentable. I suppose if you want something to show off on social media then come here. If you want something that tastes good, I suggest going somewhere else. read more

First time trying Voodoo Doughnuts. I love the carousel display of the donuts they have. Very visually appealing and makes it hard just to choose one! Grape ape: 3/10 for me. Very fake grape flavor that reminds me of medicine. Portland creme: 7/10. Good amount of filling, quite sweet though. Maple creme: 8/10. Best of the three. The maple flavor was very prominent. Still quite sweet for my taste. read more

This was my first time dining in. I'm normally the customer that drives thru and orders Togo. To my surprise the inside of the establishment is not as clean as it should be. Bathroom was out of papertowels in the women's restroom and the tables / floors in the dining hall was gross. The BeesKnees was good but they didn't have any silverware and for my husband with a long beard it was hard for him to eat such a messy donut. I ordered the double chocolate, and it was served hot and not cooled off yet. I wasn't a fan.... Probably won't be back. read more
I came to visit and found a Voodoo had graced us with its presence so I had to get my fix. I bought the Voodoo dozen but swapped out the maple bacon and grape flavored one for more m&m and blueberry cake donuts. I added on an apple fritter and butterfinger donut. These donuts were amazing and delicious when eaten fresh. Some are more sweeter than the others. Our favorites were dirt, apple fritter, butterfinger, m&ms, voodoo doll and Portland cream. The staff was friendly and everyone was taking precautions wearing masks. read more

I know I've probably done several post for this place but as long as I'm going I'll keep reviewing. The donuts so good you have to tell someone!! Expect a lone cause that's what you get when the word is out that it's good! Expect freshness cause they always baking people keep constantly buying! Expect goodness cause it is what it is read more

Ask the Community - Voodoo Doughnut
Do they always stack in the box? How do they charge for a custom dozen - just charge the amount per donut? Wanted some insight before going.
When we went the packaged them beautifully, and they were not stacked on top of each other. It's just a charge per donut.
Is the ‘bucket of donuts’ deal available at this location?
They almost never have day old donuts here. The only time I have seen day old here is because they were not quite right, and there was only 5. Did not see any mention of it…
How do we order a specialty donut when there's no option online or call in order?!?
Call them and they can hold your order for you. Specify vegan if you want. No problem.
Can we order through the phone and just go pick up and pay?
Currently, no but this could change in the future!
Do you guys ever run out of donuts?
I've only been once and at 10 am on a Monday morning, they ran out of 4 types my party had wanted. So, yes. They do run out of certain flavors.
