Many people have celebrities they "know of", but have never met. The ones you see online all the time, performing at awards shows or being discussed on a recent podcast. You know their birthday, birth place, who they're dating, maybe even their cocktail of choice. But have you ever seen them in real life? Shook their hand? Gave them a side hug while taking a selfie? Nope. And in the foodie world this is also true of restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, wineries, breweries, and more. We follow them on social media, know their Michelin Star rating, who their new sous chef is. But we have never set foot even near their entry way. Such is the story with me and Voodoo, until recently. I love pastries, with muffins and doughnuts constantly competing for the top spot in my foodie heart. But often doughnuts win out because of 1) their high level of availability and 2) their many, many options. Cake, glazed, seasonal, creme filled. Have you ever walked into a doughnut shop when they first open? The ovens are still warm, the display case glass is steamed up, the aroma is from a time and place only accurately described in some foodie fantasy novel written by a James Beard award winning chef while residing in the depths of a ancient wine cellar for 38 days and nights. And this, all this brings me to my first fateful visit to Voodoo. A short visit to San Antonio and quick search on Yelp had made this life changing experience possible. I was staying but a few blocks from the brown and pink many already know well. I was grateful that day for the line as I needed time to select what I could only hope would be the "perfect first" doughnuts. Banana cream pie was definite. Then I saw the pumpkin pie cake doughnut. Now I'm not a big fan of cake doughnuts (just being honest), but if anyone could change my mindset on this subset it would be Voodoo. Having already consumed two cups of coffee and a homemade pop tart, I had to stop at two. (Listen, this wasn't the most prepared foodie journey I've ever had, but at least I made it there.) Within a few minutes I had ordered, paid, and sat down (to take photos then eat). I'm not sure which took less time. I ate the pumpkin first, thinking the sweetness of the banana cream might overpower it. That doughnut was somehow a mix of air, dough, pumpkin, sugar, and your 8th grade kiss at the Spring Formal all warped into one. Seconds later, the banana cream followed suit. My only regret? Not buying more and not returning. But mark my words, I will be searching for another in the months ahead. read more

I want to start by saying I love donuts I will eat them morning noon or night they are my guilty pleasure. So what I got from Voodoo got the bannana fritter had chocolate and peanut butter on it also just a plain glaze. They looked amazing but unfortunately both tasted like donuts from a gas station that have been left out for 2 days and cooked in month old oil. They were not edible in the slightest. I even tried to warm it up in the microwave but still just bad all around. If you are in the mood for donuts find a local place skip the hype on this place. You will be happy you did. read more

This place is always a little difficult to get to since the parking around it is atrocious but once you get your hands on that raised glazed, it's over! Super delicious. The service is chill, everyone's always relaxed there and laid back, not like some places (Dutch bros) lol. But anyways, the prices for everything is a little more expensive than your regular place, but hey, it's funky and different and good! I gave it four stars this time due to the parking always being really bad. read more

What a cute doughnut shop. They have lots of flavors and very unique ones as well as the name are unique. The facility is clean and the workers there are friendly as well. Tip: they have a military discount read more

Doughnuts were nothing but straight sugar and no flavor except an overwhelming taste of processed sugar. A little stale tasting as well. Not worth the money or snack/dessert option. read more

I first ate Voodoo Doughnuts in Orlando--fabulous. I was excited to stumble upon this store in San Antonio. Unfortunately my bacon maple bar was inedible. It was stale. The glaze fell off the doughnut. It was disgusting. And don't get me started on the vulgar doughnut shaped like male anatomy in the display case. I will give this store a pass in the future. read more

Stopped by Voodoo Doughnut while exploring downtown and it was the perfect little treat break. The donuts here are so fun and colorful -- definitely super appealing to kids (and adults who are still kids at heart!). I went for the classic chocolate old fashioned and it was exactly what I hoped for -- simple and delicious. read more

Very good donut shop. We all got donuts there on three days of our stay in San Antonio. Yeah, we liked them!!!!! What's funny is we got fresher donuts late at night then during the day. I had the old fashion chocolate and the chocolate ring. Great chocolate flavor. Our group tried the old fashion maple, and the Portland creme. All of them were good. Really, you can't go wrong with any of them! I can't even remember the names of the other ones! They sell some cool coffee cups and shirts. read more

Been waiting to try this place since we moved to Texas. I think I was overly hyped - this location is found down in Riverwalk area. Obviously very busy- they stay open until 3 am on Friday and Saturday for the drunks after the bar closes (smart business!) . The decor is awesome - the customer service was alright... I guess I expected a little more "uniform" appearance from a place so very well known- like a tshirt that says VOODOO or something but the crew were all in laid back street clothes. The Operations Manager in me says " EYE OF THE CUSTOMER WOULD NOT BE IMPRESSED" - nothing wrong with having crew be a little more put together. The gentleman we got was just basically there to ring us up - no interaction or greeting. We ordered 4 different donuts. I myself got a Maple Bacon bar and Apple Fritter. My daughter got a Maple bar and The Homer - I got a bottled water she got a coke. We sat outside to enjoy the cool breeze and people watch. It was about 10 pm so the streets were starting to fill up. I have seriously been so excited to try these donuts- haven't found a Maple donut that even compares to back home in Boonville California at the Redwood Drive In- and I was just let down :( the donut was obviously not fresh. But... it was 10pm.. it felt like it had been made yesterday or early that morning. So I decided to try the Apple Fritter - it was better - sweet apple taste with little chunks of apple and great cinnamon taste. My daughter enjoyed her Maple Bar but she realized she didn't get the one with the cream so that was on her. As soon as we had sat down they got slammed - so people obviously enjoy them or maybe hear all the hype and want them. I will try again in the early AM. But.. I realized this is not an easy location to get to for a GRAB AND GO.. it's literally in the very busy part of Riverwalk area and no parking spots - if the location was near more parking AM GRAB AND GO would be much easier. Overall - for 24$ I'm not that impressed. read more

Doughnuts that are overloaded with flavor and sugar and (in most cases!) everything but the kitchen sink! Plenty of seating inside and outside but you don't sit down for long as the doughnuts are so delicious- they are finished before you can blink. Definitely a special treat kind of place. If they had a coffee bar / barista serving nothing but expresso - then I would be back every weekend read more

They were aight. The donut itself, minus the topping, was a perfect donut. The toppings were fun though for the kids. Line was long and out the door, but moved rather quickly. I wouldn't have to go back, just more of a novelty place to say yup I went. The kids got a kick out of the cock and balls donut... that we found out was cream filled when we got home (insert eye roll lol). This used to be a bomb pizza place, I wish I could remember what it was called... located in the heart of downtown, so there were a lot of homeless people in and out. read more

One of my favorite donut places! My donuts yesterday though were not fresh my grape ape was dried out and not as tasty as they should be for the price!

First time and stopped in to see what all the hoopla was about. They had some unique donut names but nothing spectacular. The donuts were not fresh, they had been sitting and had started to harden a bit. They are pricey, we spent 21.00 for 4 donuts and 2 waters. I could have gotten triple that at one of the Mexican bakeries. It's downtown so I saw lots of tourist coming in. Locals I don't think would be coming here. I wouldn't go back. Too many other options that are fresher and cheaper in this city. read more

First try Voodoo Doughnut. Yes, we have one in Austin but I don't venture downtown that often. I'm in DT San Antonio for two days. I go bounding in a door and blast straight to the case to see the creations. I was thinking of ordering for my kiddo when an employee pointed to the line going out the OTHER door. I was at the mobile order pick up counter lol. Made my decision on where to grab breakfast the next morning pretty easy. Grabbed my phone hit a few buttons and walked over from the hotel with my mom. They handed me my order with a sprite and I was like this isn't me. Two different James F's had ordered at the same time. My order was still coming and they had to switch a few ingredients out because of availability. Finally ready we walked back to the hotel and gathered on the 3rd floor just off the rotunda. Of course I ordered too much and most made it home to the ranch the next day. Good bites but not any better than your average donut in taste for the plain ones. Extra star for creativity; making my GF eat the dick and balls one. In front of my mom tee hee! read more

In case you've been living under a rock. Not to offend rock dwellers, my favorite star fish lives under one. Voodoo offers a variety of spooky doughnut options for the hungry and twisted of souls. I love this place. Though it can be hard to decide which one is the one for you. Stopped in this fine Halloween, rain, chilly weather (for Texas standards). This cold brew is smooth and delightful. Patio was junk free and smell free. It's downtown, iykyk. Service was cheeky and delightful. All in all, compared to the other 4 Voodoos I've been to in other states, this is a great one. Thanks voodoo San Antonio! read more

Voodoo Doughnut - Donuts Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The donuts are overpriced and tasted horrible. Left a bad taste in my mouths. Glad we only bought two.

This is a chain, but they make really great doughnuts. This is not far from the Alamo. They have a giant selection of donuts and there is a display case where you can see what you want. There are so many that look good, it can be tough to make a decision. I finally decided on an apple fritter and a glazed donut. I had the glazed donut first. This was very nice, you could tell it was fresh and the donut itself was cooked just right, very tasty. The fritter was a surprise. It was about twice as big as the one in the display case, like two that were stuck together. As it that were not good enough, it was really delicious, with a nice hard outer shell and a gooey center with just enough apple and cinnamon. Everyone loved their donuts. It is definitely worth a visit. read more

Voodoo is always a fun experience, and this was a good location made great by really friendly service. My friend and I went in to get doughnuts for her birthday breakfast. The woman working the register listened to what we liked, and when we were about to check out, she threw in an extra doughnut that she thought we'd like as a birthday present. All the doughnuts were, of course, delicious. My favorite is always the voodoo doll. It can't be beat! read more

We received a special treat for our birthday boy at this location, and it made his day even better! Lol... He originally had his eye on the largest doughnut he could find, which happened to be a giant penis shaped one, but settled for an apple fritter (the second largest doughnut type in the display) after a little dad guidance. After the kids picked their treats and sat down, I asked the man at the register if they did anything special for birthdays. While he said it wasn't standard, he went above and beyond to surprise my son with a birthday hookup. We chatted briefly about how this is the second year in a row my son has chosen this VooDoo Doughnuts location for his birthday celebration. He absolutely loves coming here, and to top it all off, he won a hat outside at the spin-the-wheel game! Thank you so much for making his day extra special--your kindness and generosity didn't go unnoticed! PS: His friends thought it was hilarious and the doughnuts never disappoint!! Absolutely delicious!! read more

Voodoo Doughnut never misses! Staff is always helpful with recommendations and service. The raised glaze is a classic--light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet. The Raspberry Romeo is another must-try with that perfect balance of tart and sweet. The vibe in the shop is fun and quirky, and I love the merch they offer--definitely adds to the experience. Coffee menu is simple, which I actually appreciate when grabbing something quick with my doughnut fix. Always a solid stop! read more

First time stopping because I had been itching to try these and they did not disappoint! The service was quick although not super forthcoming- that was a bit disappointing because as popular as they seem to be I expected friendly outgoing service. Nonetheless the place itself is uniquely decorated- have plenty of merchandise and the display cases let you see the variety they have to offer. The donuts were really fantastic! The Portland creme was delicious! Oh captain my captain was just like eating a bowl of cereal. At home other faves were the Homer and the Dirt. Definitely wanting to go back for more and hopefully friendlier service. read more

Quite surprised there's a location outside of oregon! To sum up the service, it's quite efficient with 3-4 counters to order. Located on the corner, the pink building offers plenty windows, outdoor bench seating and minimal seating inside ( mostly roped up space to line up). This place is quite popular even all the way out here in texas. I got the homer and the banana Foster one. Voodoo donuts are quite hyped, but they were too sweet for me. While I expected Jimmy like sprinkles for the homer it came with dots and a distinctly strawberry glaze. The banana foster had an imitation banana filling, cinnamon glaze, and banana chip that wasn't too sweet. Overall, the glazes are overpoweringly sweet and more on the liquid side and the raised donuts are risen quite well. If I were to get this again I'd recommend a less glazed one or a chocolate glazed one but still risen. read more

10/27/23. 5:30 pm This was the first visit we've ever made to the voodoo chain. The storefront is inviting and clean The doughnuts are visually appealing and offer some unique flavors. Tried the vicious hibiscus, Oreo, strawberry tart to go. The doughnuts were very dry. Not sure if this is the norm, but I'd need to try a couple more to be sure. Hubster liked the strawberry "pop-tart" and it was "ok". ( Because we paid a pretty penny , he made sure he ate it anyway. I ate the top of the doughnut and left the rest. Maybe next time! read more

Voodoo Doughnut - Vicious Hibiscus - Donuts Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I decided to stop in and grab a single doughnut to take home with me as I wasn't too hungry, but wanted to try them. I thought it was great that they had both vegan and non-vegan options... easier to order when I have my friends who are vegan with me. All of the doughnuts looked and smelled delicious - you could smell the pure sugar. I decided to get a maple bar and was excited to dig in. The thing that surprised me was that the bar was so thick and yet there was nothing inside (no filling). I suppose I should've asked before assuming. The doughnut was more of a cake style doughnut with maple frosting and was on the dry side. I ended up not finishing half of it as it just wasn't that great. My friend tried a bite and felt the same. Overall, this is a cute store with fun looking doughnuts but I wasn't impressed with the taste. read more

Yummy yummy doughnuts! I've always heard of them but there are none in Dallas, yet. I hope. I got a variety of donuts for me and my family. My favorites were definitely the C&B and the raspberry jelly. The shop was super busy and it showed in how messy and sticky the tables were. The C&B was fresh and soft but the cream filling was the star of the show. I believe it was Bavarian cream, its a sweet and creamy custard that was busting with candy-like flavor. Raspberry Jelly donut was super fresh with tarts and yummy jam. C&B: 10/10 Raspberry jelly Donut: 8/10 Cannoli: 8/10 read more

I love the atmosphere and vibes of the place, but the donuts just did not taste fresh. We got the Voodoo Dozen which is 13 donuts for around $30.

Get the donuts (all of them if you can!) This was the one thing I needed to get to when I was visiting my friend in San Antonio and I was overly thrilled a Voodoo came to her town. So the actual Voodoo donut was good but nothing out of the ordinary. The star of the show was a flavor of the week or however often they change. Honey lemon Bavarian cream. It was lovely and just everything you want from a donut. I should have gotten two of that one because my friend was trying to finish it too lol. They have some fun flavors and some flavors that children shouldn't see.. but it's donuts and no one is mad about donuts. read more

So what's with the attitude here? I get y'all might have a lot of annoying tourists visit (source: me, probably an annoying tourist), but like we're paying an exorbitant amount of money for a'ight donuts.

Anyway, I had a strawberry go tart, bacon maple bar...and again these were okay. You're paying for novelty really. My favorite was the Portland cream, but I feel like that was pedestrian.
