Had a nice first visit to Zak's Donuts this morning. I was in the mood for some sweetness and so I stopped in to try this place out. I had seen them for years, but had just never tried them out. Today I made it happen! The service here is great. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. Being my first time, I had to ask them to hold on for a few while I figured out what to get and that did not bother them at all, in fact quite the opposite when they told me to "take my time". I ordered a couple Blueberry Donuts and a Cinnamon Roll. I really enjoyed the Blueberry Donuts. I had bought one for me and one for my dogs to share, but let's just say it never made it to the dogs! The Cinnamon Roll was just ok. Not great but certainly not bad at all. Overall, I will give this place 3 stars as a pretty solid place. read more

When we went in, they had almost no inventory and no backstock... thankfully they had like one donut that my son could have, and he really enjoyed it. Seems like it would be fine if you needed a quick fix and came earlier than we did read more

Absolutely love their jalapeño sausage kolaches but they can be pretty spicy sometimes. Solid donut place my family loves to visit while we do our laundry across the street read more

Fresh and yummy, plus they warmed the kolaches. My daughter likes the drink selection and her sprinkle donut. Friendly employees, clean shop. Eat we have found in Richardson so far read more

Once you have your favorites, that's usually what you stick with. I love the cinnamon sugar twist and hubby likes the chocolate frosted twist. I'm also weird because I like day old donut holes, so I usually order a dozen and let them dry out a little to enjoy the following day. I don't seal the bag all the way so they can get a little dry. That's the way I like 'em! Consistently fresh donuts every time! read more

Got a glazed donut w/ cream added. So yummy. They even gave my toddler a free donut hole. Nice place

The staff here are outstanding!! I make it a point to call at least an hour early to make sure they have enough donuts for my order each time. I'm a marketer so I hand out dozens of donuts at a time. I have even had a sweet lady help me bring all of my boxes out to my car. 5 star!! I have always been pleased with the service and goods. Everyone is so very nice and the donuts are delicious! Always hot upon arrival and pure heaven in your mouth. If you haven't tried their donuts and other goodies, you're missing out! Give them a try!! read more

Great kolaches. The extra spicy are my favorite. If you like fresh jalapeños then grab a couple of these. The glazed doughnuts are one of the best I have had in the north Dallas county area. My standard is the cinnamon roll. I am always on the hunt for a good cinnamon roll. Zak's has a top notch roll. I am putting them on my top ten list with Donuts by George when George was still with us and Revolution in Georgia. I like them even more than Donut Palace. If you want to try one you better get there early. The first time I stopped by was at 9:00 on Friday and they were out. The second time was at 8:00 on Saturday and I was able to grab a few. Zak's is a go to doughnut shop when in Richardson. read more

Zak's Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Richardson, Texas

We stopped here on Sunday before heading to church. We walked in with low expectations but we were pleasantly surprised. My husband ordered three glazed donuts and I ordered a chocolate glazed and a regular glazed donut. We also ordered to large chocolate milks to wash it all down. The total was $6.14! I couldn't believe how cheap that was for everything that we had purchased. The donuts were good and had a nice glaze to them. My chocolate glaze was tasty as well. For the price and the location, I could see us frequenting Zak's Donuts more often! read more

Been here several times, and they never dissapoint... Kolaches are fresh, and warmed up if thats how you roll.. Donuts are fresh, and they have a lot of drink options coffee, juices etc... Very friendly staff! read more

Delicious donuts! When we pulled in at 9am on a Saturday and saw how busy they were, I knew it would be good. They did not disappoint. We got all yeast donuts--strawberry sprinkle, maple, and cinnamon sprinkle. I'd 100% go out of my way to get these donuts!! read more

Zak's Donuts - Maple donut. So good!! - Donuts Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I was looking for a donut shop close to my residence. I happen to try a couple of subpar donut shops before coming to ZAK's. I'm sooooo glad that I was able to experience the MOST delicious donuts I've had here in Richardson, Texas. I will be back every time I come into town!!! read more

This place never disappoints! The people working are always so nice and friendly. They warm up the kolaches for you and the dough is nice and fluffy. The apple fritter is also a must have. read more

Best donuts by far! We've had donuts from all over the metroplex but in my family's opinion these are the BEST! Plus the staff are super courteous. My kids have been short a few bucks before and the owner let em have it on credit even though my kids were opposed to doing so the owner was adamant for them to take their items and pay next time which was awesome as most businesses do not do that anymore. read more

Great experience today. Person who waited on me was friendly and helpful. I ordered some glazed, chocolate covered and assorted other pastries. The did not disappoint. The jalapeño cheese sausage rolls were the best I've had with slices of real jalapeños rolled up with the cheese sausage. Just the right amount of spicy. We got 3 and they were gone in minutes.... wanting more. They also had great apple fritters, crisp and perfectly glazed. I will visit here again. read more

I'm sorry, I can't give a donut shop a bad review. Okay, I could, but I have yet to have a donut shop give me a particularly poor experience. It's donuts after all! Zak's is up there. I used to come here a lot since this place is on the way to church from my parent's house. I'd pick up a dozen donuts and bring them to sunday school and chow down on at least 4 of them. Good times. It's been 10+ years since I've been back to Zak's since I moved out of my parent's house and on my own but I've been coming back because it's near the local parts store I frequent (not Autozone). I went in there one day as they were closing down the shop and I've been on a buttermilk cake donut kick. I went in to get my fix and the owners were walking out. They saw me pull up and motioned for me to come in. "What would you like?" Me: "I'd just like a buttermilk." "No problem. $.75. Here, I'll give you two for $1. Makes it even." Me: "Oooh, great! Thanks!" Do I recommend them? Of course. Are their donuts good? Absolutely. read more

I would have given this place 5 stars but still bummed the original owner sold. I can understand after 20 years of of waking up early to cook donuts I would want out at some point too. The food has not lost any quality since the change in ownership and they are using the exact same recipes but the old owner would make small talk with anyone at the store and I miss that extra touch and have heard from friends that they miss speaking with him as well. I still come here when a friend wants it for breakfast but I have been going elsewhere if its my choosing since I found a newer place same distance from my house that is as good if not slightly better at least to me. All in all still very solid and only thing I would change is I wish they were open until 1pm like some others since I do have that breakfast urge on weekends for lunch at times. read more

Very fluffy perfectly glazed donuts. Kolaches were delicious and they had a nice variety. This just became my new favorite stop!

DAMN...hot damn. There should be a warning label on the jalapeno sausage kolache. It should read "HELL NO WE DO NOT REMOVE THE SEEDS FROM THE PEPPERS!" You could actually see the little buggers down in there. Yes, I went there again. This time was better. The donuts were just okay. We had an empty glazed pocket filled with goo of our choice and the aformentioned jalapeno kolache of death. I love spicy food. I laugh in the face of any salsa. And this kolache had me looking for a little more juice at the bottom of the bottle. Still, it was hot enough to overshadow the taste of anything else in the dough. Eventhough it was still much better than last time. They get the award for most improved. read more

I bought a dozen chocolate covered donuts...the frosting tasted like acrylic nail powder never coming back

I love trying new places. On my recent visit I ordered donuts I know my coworkers like but are not my favs. The donuts were okay. I'd like to test them out on my favs next time to put them to a real test. I do love pigs in a blanket I ordered the large ones - two jalapeno and two just cheesy. OMG I have never seen so many jalapenos inside of a pastry. It was pretty spicy. A little bit much for me but great flavors. I am sticking to the cheesy one next time. I'll be back for some fritters. See ya there! read more

We took a quick walk over here one Sunday morning to discover a shop that is very clean and neat, with a friendly staff and wide selection of donuts and kolaches. We tried a couple different items - maple donut, cake donut, jalapeño kolache, a raspberry filled donut, and a couple glazed. The kolache was good, pretty standard like you'd get anywhere. The donuts looked lovely but did NOT taste good or fresh, which was a big disappointment. read more

Donuts can mean many things for different people, and many things for one person depending on his age. I drop in here every so often on my way to work or on the off days where I wake up early enough to still make it. I like to keep it simple. Two plain cakes, and a coffee. Sometimes I go a little nuts and splurge on a fritter, or a chocolate donut. And let me tell you, I can't say I remember any specific cake donut in my life that tasted better than these. They're perfect cake donuts. The coffee on the other hand is so-so. I see old men chit chatting about whatever old people talk about. I see kids rambling their little mouths off to parents who are trying desperately to look like their intending. It's a great place. read more

I've been going to this donut shop since moving to Texas and today will probably be my last time. I spent $20 on donuts and discovered later on they were all cake donuts. There is no sign to differentiate the two glazed donuts and I thought I was getting regular glazed not cake. I acknowledge I was at fault but when I questioned the price they could of told me I had ordered cake donuts and that's why it was said price. The ladies here weren't friendly and it didn't have the same customer service as it did before. Just point blank a disappointing experience today. read more

Best jalapeño kolaches! They use fresh peppers which gives better taste and heat. My kids love the chocolate sprinkle donuts. Very friendly staff. read more

Oh my god the fluffiest lightest most delicious donut I've ever had..... beyond better than anything I've tasted living in New York. A classic yeast donut. Really cute decor too - very authentic read more

Zak's Donuts - I couldn't even wait to take the picture - Donuts Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Best jalepeño kolaches near me. I go here just for them And they're afforable if you enjoy spicy, these are for you! Other than that, the donuts are pretty average. Service is always nice :) read more

We used to come here exclusively for donuts and do when it's an crunch, but that being said they have lost their pride in their products over the years and the prices keep climbing. I go down the street and get bigger better donuts now. read more

Not much selection at 10am but staff was friendly. Coffee is so strong that I couldn't drink it!

Best donuts ever. Hands down. They are so soft and delicious! We ordered the strawberry and maple donuts. I will definition choose these guys anytime I need to bring donuts to the office! read more

Jalapeno kolaches are made with fresh jalapenos! Kids loved the donuts. Great donut shop.

First time going today! Great selection and everything tasted delicious! I wish the place was a little bigger so there was more room for seating. Great customer service! Friendly staff! Will definitely go back! read more

Changed owners. Not the same. These ladies don't even seem friendly. And the quality sucked completely downhill from its previous owners. AVOID AT ALL COSTS read more

It truly is the little things. The warm, genuine smile and greeting when I walked in the door. The appetizing food lad in front of me like a row of toy soldiers. And yes, legit fresh jalapenos in their sausage rolls. Perfect for what we needed this morning. read more

Mom and pop donuts are the only way to go. The best donuts come from places where family is the number one priority. That is the case here and customers are a part of that family. read more

Zak's is a fantastic little place run by fantastic people. Affordable food, bright and happy store that makes me think of days gone by. Very old fashioned and accessible. Wish there were more places like Zak's around. read more

Awesome huge appple fritter! Freshly made and local owners. #shoplocal

This is the only donut shop that matters. I've been.coming here since I can remember. The donuts are always top notch and the owners are really great people. I love donuts and I have tried countless donut shops across the city and none of them compare to this place. The dough is light and fluffy, the icing is perfectly balanced and sweet and no matter how many I eat, I never feel as heavy or unsatisfied as I do at most other donut shops. To top it off, thy have some of the best prices I've seen. This place is simply the best. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. read more

The donuts are great. A loyal customer base here and a steady stream of people every morning.

I use to come every day until today because yesterday I found out that lady did not gave me proper change of $20 i just buy two donuts and two small kolache so I paid with $20 dollar bill never received dollars bill back. I came back lady said she will check the register machine so i wait till today they just say that is not possible for them to know so thats mean they don't track their daily earning. So that is easy to steal money from people just saying that they don't remember the transaction also is probably they don't pay taxes. Every business where is involved register machine should be able to know how much money there are from the beginning and how much there are at the end but people just blame me never gave me my money. So never will come back to that place. By the way IRS should check that business. read more
