Donald’s Donuts

I hate that we moved away from the area but still come back when we can. There are no other shops around that can compare to their croissant breakfast sandwiches. The egg is cooked perfectly and the croissant is soft and delicious. If you become a regular (and you will) they remember who you are and are wonderful people. Don’t forget to try the boudin kolaches.

Hands down, best glazed doughnuts in Houston! I am flummoxed as how this place doesn’t have more reviews.
To say I am obsessed with doughnuts may be a bit of an understatement. My Unilocal URL is
. I purchased an annual bike rental pass here in Brooklyn for the sole reason of biking back and forth between my favorite doughnut shop. I’ve eaten more doughnuts than I care to admit. So when I say Donald’s has the best doughnuts in town, I don’t take that proclamation lightly since I know my reputation is on the line! Their glazed doughnuts here are ridiculously good — they have a certain density/​substance to them, yet retain their fluffiness and just completely melt in your mouth when you bite into them. If you haven’t tried them, you owe yourself a trip here… it’s like eyes rolling into the back of your head good!
In addition to their sublime glazed doughnuts, their kolaches are amazing. Specifically, my favorite is their spicy boudin kolache — they are HUGE. And the spicy boudin with the soft, slightly sweet breading is a match made in heaven. FYI I believe this is the original Donald’s Donuts, and the others you notice around the southeast area of Houston are franchises branched from this location (although I think these franchises are individually owned).
For those who follow some of the major food players in Houston, even David Buehrer (@greenwaybarista) declared on social media that Donald’s has the best doughnuts in Houston (
). So take it from me too, the self-​proclaimed DonutKing (
) — do yourself a favor and head down to Webster and experience the best doughnuts H-​town has to offer!

What a load of junk.
We ventured here on Monday morning at 8:15AM on the way to work. This was a little out of the way, but we were hoping that the puffy goodness of fresh glazed donuts would be worth the trip. Upon arrival we found that they were closed! What donut shop is closed at 8:15 on a Monday morning? Well this one and apparently they don’t give a damn.
We gave them another try one day when we were in the neighborhood. The cold, soggy glazed donuts were so disgusting that we threw them away. When I asked about them being closed, they just kinda shrugged it off. Trust me, you will find far better donuts at Randall’s.

The donuts were some of the bet I’ve ever tasted and the service was very good. And then came the price, and I had a big smile as the price was very reasonable.

I feel strange giving five stars to a donut shop, but this place really deserves it. I’ve been a patron of Donald’s Donuts for almost twenty years. Like most people we usually get donuts take out, but every so often my kids (and now my grandkids) love to go out and eat there on the weekend.
The place is small, simple, and clean. It is often busy, and there is not much seating, but there is usually a booth available despite the brisk to-​go business.
The selection of donuts is about normal, only missing french crullers and maple bars from what I’m used to seeing. Their donuts are much more like the mom-​and-​pop scratch made donuts common several decades ago, rather than the manufactured mix donuts of the big chains that you commonly find now. Don’t get me wrong, I like a Dunkin or a KK every now and then, just like anybody else… But Donald’s are the best I’ve had in quite some time.
Then there are their kolaches and breakfast croissants. These are also fantastic. I am especially partial to the bacon, ham, and egg croissant, which is my favorite breakfast sandwich from anywhere, and quite a bargain. There are several choices for kolaches including the boudain kolaches which are quite unique.
For years Donald’s prices were obscenely cheap. They’ve raised their prices recently, but they are still below their competitors and quite a deal in this day and age.
About the only thing to worry about with Donald’s is that the donut and kolaches selection begins to dwindle as you get closer to their noon closing time. So go early for the best and freshest selection.
So if you live in this area and are craving a donut or kolaches, skip the chains and stop in at Donald’s. Just try and do it before 10:30 or so.

We’ve been here several times now, and have never been disappointed. The breakfast sandwiches are my favorite. my boyfriend really likes the kolaches and apple fritters. The old fashioned donuts with chocolate icing are really yummy too. Can’t go wrong with breakfast from Donald’s

Great donuts, kolaches, breakfast sandwiches! They have several sizes of kolaches and even a Chapel Hill Sausage kolache!
My family & I are long time customers!
