Donut Empire — Restaurant in Austin

Update: Upping to 5 stars due to kind and friendly service, reasonable prices and delicious donuts.

Our favs are the blueberry and Boston creme.

Currently they have a glass covering, wearing masks and have contactless payment options.

Really nice people. Support local!

Prior Review: We needed some colorful donuts for a party last week and a quick yelp search along with glancing at the various yelper submitted pictures led us to here!

Upon arrival on a Sunday morning, we were happy to see a variety of colorful donuts (see pic) still available at what I consider to be reasonable prices. Needing for display and not caring for the taste, we got a dozen for the event and left.

Well, at the event, people took a liking for these and started eating them even though it's been a few hours they have been on display and no longer completely fresh. To our surprise, everybody loved the various types and there were only 2 left after it was all said and done.

My wife & I enjoyed the 2 leftover so much that we actually went back the following week and tried a few of them at the place while they are still fresh. Her favorite is the blueberry cake and I really enjoyed the Boston creme. Neither of them were overly sweet which both of us appreciated.

They also have kolaches, apple fritters, and breakfast tacos! The family behind the counters are nice and cordial. I am happy to have found this place so close to where I live and will be getting our donuts here...

First, I walk in at 12:50. A couple frosted twist donuts in the case. A couple twists glazed with Cinnamon. Some cake donuts etc and 3 strawberry strudel bars and 4 apple fritters. The whole case was almost empty. So I ended up getting 2 lg twist donuts, with a thin layer of frosting and 1 gazed Cinnamon twist. They are very fresh when you pull them apart and smell good. They are a bit on the greasy side. The three twist ones were put in a small bag standing up so there is no individual flavor. They were stuck together as soon as I picked them up. No way to keep them apart. 😕

They really need to have more product in the case and truly frost the donuts. It can be wiped off if anyone doesn't want it or less of it. But my experience is those people choose glazed or similar. They did have kolachis there. Apparently they are really good. I will have to go elsewhere just because our group...

So yummy! Came here while visiting Austin, the owners were so kind and cheerful and had beautiful smiles on their faces during our whole visit. One asked us to try the iced coffee and if I did not like it he would put it on the house! My friend and I both ended up trying it and loving it so we gladly payed for it. He gave us a free doughnut just for trying the iced coffee! Not only was their service amazing but the food was just as great! Those doughnuts were the greatest i’ve ever had, my friends devoured their breakfast sandwiches in seconds, and their breakfast tacos were simple yet delicious! Can’t wait to come back when I...
