Master Donuts

Lots of different kinds of donuts and kolaches. I just got donuts this time and they were light and fluffy and delicious.

Great place ! They sell donuts, kolaches, croussants sandwiches and more. The pricing is extremely reasonable and the shop ladies are always friendly.

Great doughnut shop open early in the morning that has more than just donuts. They also have kolaches and breakfast tacos. I came in one day and got a doughnut, a kolache, and a breakfast taco. All were very good in their own way. The glazed doghnut in particular is light and fluffy — a nice contrast to say the Krispy Kremes of the world.
Family owned business that’d I’d support by returning again.

AWESOME little nook! The staff is as sweet as the goodies they offer. I love how there are fun creative options. I had the croissant sandwich which was super tasty. My kiddos had donut holes and special donuts. The prices are very reasonable and very clean. Definitely a new fav breakfast spot.

Very good breakfast tacos, sandwiches, and more!
And thier blueberry donuts are on point!

Upon waking up early at the Hyatt Lost Pines at a work retreat, I felt my need for a craft coffee and donut nagging at me than ever. Fortunately, 71 East of 35 is a breeze in the morning. I jetted into East Austin to grab some joe and punched in «donuts» on my way back.
Lo and behold, East Riverside boasts quite the selection of donut shops. Here, you find decent options with some of the better pricing in town. Not that the 6100 address block is often considered «in town.»
At $ 1.50/dozen of donut holes, the $ 6 I spent provided 8 people far more calories, sugar, and oil than they might have wanted at 9AM.

Cute place, friendly owners. The glazed donut holes were light and fluffy and perfect but my apple fritter was too heavy and full of grease. I also tried the egg, potato and cheese taco and it was kind of flavorless. I had to salt it and I never add salt to my food. My husband had a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. I asked him how it was while I’m trying to write this and he said «Uh, yeaahh… I liked it but the eggs were in a weird, pre-​cooked, flat square.» I asked him what the «square» tasted like and he said it could have not been on there and it would have tasted the same (read: bland).
They have pictures up of custom orders your can do to spell out a message like «Happy Birthday» in donuts. Very cute. The glazed donuts seem tasty so I’m sure that would make a unique gift to send someone. Or, like what if you spelled out «Feelings» in donuts and had it delivered to yourself on a bad day? That could be fun.

Master Donuts is a pretty neat place to get your donut fix. There is a great variety of fresh donuts, croissants, kolaches, and other delicious items. The service is fast and friendly.

There’s lots of goodness at the Master Donut but here are some highlights:
*About 20 varieties of donuts, including Chocolate Ganache w/​Pecans, White Chocolate w/​Fruit Cereal, Chocolate w/​Coconut Shreds, and Blueberry w/​Lemon Glaze – my favorite!
*This isn’t your typical donut shop that serves up mediocre kolaches as an afterthought though… just while I was in line this morning, the 3 people ahead of me only ordered kolaches!
*MD also has breakfast tacos & savory donuts… but if you’re looking for something substantial I would stick with a kolache
*A few free donut holes with every order: D
*Sadly no espresso drinks, but they have regular coffee and a huge refrigerator full of bottled drinks, including Arizona Tea, Gatorade, and Coke products
*Always smiley and friendly employees
*Clean clean CLEAN. I just read a quote by Bourdain where he said that he won’t eat at a restaurant with a dirty bathroom because if they can’t be bothered to clean something that the customer sees, you can only imagine what the kitchen looks like.
*Cheapest prices in town! $ 0.69 per donut, or $ 6.99 for a dozen!
*They make great gifts! Their boxes are adorable, so I often pick up half a dozen for friends to brighten their morning. They also do made-​to-​order donut letters which make for the perfect birthday present!
*Unlike most donut places, MD stays open (and continues cranking out delicious donuts) until 2 pm, although if you want some of the unique options mentioned above, you better get there before 9 am!
Luckily Master Donut is in my hood, but it’s definitely good enough on both the kolache and donut fronts to justify a drive across town.

The main purpose of heading to Master Donuts was to try the kolatche. This Texas tradition has a sausage in the middle of a sweet puffy dough — like a jumbo pig-​in-​a-​blanket. This place was the closest one that had a big selection. I had the jalapeño sausage version plus an apple fritter and blueberry cake donut. They threw in a few holes for free.
I did enjoy the kolatche, especially the sweet-​savory combination and the uniqueness aspect. The fritter was above average, but I was not impressed with the blueberry cake. I do not think Master Donuts was worth the extra drive, but it is a good option for the neighborhood. Thanks for the memories!

Master Donut for President please! I drive across town to indulge in this place. Kolaches and donuts are the freshest I’ve ever had. Blueberry cake donuts! All they need is some good strong Thai or Vietnamese coffee to go alongside the donuts. They even slip you some donut holes alongside your order which is always a lovely and welcome surprise. Friendliness + Low priced bake good + consistent quality and freshness = happy Liz
(Not to mention this area in general is sorely lacking the above)

They are friendly, their donuts are amazing, and they stay open past noon.
The selection of donuts is very mediocre, but that means they can focus on the few things they serve.
They also have a good drink selection!

This was our first time coming here. They were so sweet! We ordered way too many donuts and breakfast tacos… So she gave us some donut holes! We will definitely be coming back!

Hands down the best donuts I have eaten in my entire life!!! Seriously they are amazing, disregard the neighborhood and support this business. SO delicious, gooey and fresh! Great Price too! Only downside is $ 4 minimum for credit cards, but that gets you A LOT!

This place hasn’t been around long, but I’m already a total fan. The staff is very nice and friendly.
I’m slowly working my way through their selection of Donuts and breakfast Kolaches. So far, my favorite is the Apple Fritters. They are too yummy! The only problem is that by the time I get there, they only have 1 or 2 left and I want to get a dozen! The ham and egg biscuit and croissant are wonderful too. The only problem is that I’ve had to go on a diet because I can’t stop myself. Don’t worry, I will be back next month after I lose a few pounds.

Everytime i come here there always smiling and talking to me about my day i absolutely LOVE IT ! Awsome staff and great Doughnuts There Croissants are the best !
Gets me threw my day (:

My boyfriend and I were on our way to the airport trying to catch a 6am flight. What more could you possibly crave at 6am? A warm, glazed donut and/​or a sausage jalapeño kolache. Thanks to Unilocalers, we found out this place existed and left the house a little earlier to enjoy some breakfast. SO delicious! Friendly staff and very clean place. We will be back soon!

My work buddy and I were craving donuts and thought we had nowhere to go on the east side. Found this little guy on Unilocal and were blown away by the donuts and kolaches. The best part was getting surprise donut holes in our bags as we got back to the office!
This is definitely becoming a staple in our office breakfast repertoire.

The first thing I noticed was how exceptionally clean the place is. Very nice folks, very delicious donuts and kolaches.

So after our wonderful experience at Master Donuts today, I had to return to leave some more positive feedback.
I love that Master Donuts is part of the neighborhood. We come here at least once a week, normally for a weekend treat. I was so excited to walk in today and see that they have started making ham and cheese kolaches (a request on my last review)! We immediately ordered 4 and they were absolutely delicious! Thank you for listening. Not only did they recognize us from our review, they paid attention to our recommendations and delivered nicely. Awesome treats, and thanks again for the free donut holes!
The level of customer service has totally won us over. We won’t go anywhere else :)
