Donut Express — Restaurant in Decatur

Sweet little donut shop in Decatur. I stopped by for a small pick-me-up for the drive home after work.

Parking lot has seen better days but there's plenty of space. There are a few small cafe tables inside if you'd like to sit. The donuts are displayed nicely in a large case. They have a large variety of both cake and traditional donuts as well as kolaches. Decent bit of Spanish signage in the shop, too, which I thought was nice to have.

The gentleman at the register was warm and polite. After some mental deliberation, I got a chocolate glazed and a red velvet cake donut. I was going to try both and eat the one I preferred and give the other to my husband, who likes donuts more than me lol.

I thought the price was very reasonable -- two nicely made donuts for $2.15. They were packaged in a small sack and I was on my way!

After sampling both, I decided I liked the red velvet better, though both were good! The chocolate glazed was just a touch drier. That said, the chocolate glaze wasn't super waxy or artificial tasting, which is a pleasant if slightly unusual find. The red velvet was super moist, cakey, and soft, with a stunningly bright red interior. Oddly it had a slight coconut flavor? I was all in cause I like coconut but I think its proximity to coconut donuts might have been the cause, lol.

I'm not a donut connoisseur myself but this place offered a nice, quick snack complete with pleasant service....

If you want great authentic hot and fresh made everyday great tasty and affordable food all in one package with extremely amazing and awesome service this is the best place to go I've seen them knockout 12 or so more orders back to back within 10-15 minutes, the employees are super nice and make sure you have everything you ordered and make sure it's hot and fresh I usually stop in there for breakfast, they have amazing breakfast burritos and legit authentic jalepeno kolaches, churros, breakfast croissant sandwiches , almost every kind of donut you can think of and more plenty of drink selections as well definitely a 5 out of 5 I have visited this place at least 30 or so times over the past 2 years and have not once ever been...

So let me set the stage for you. It's 5am and you got a hankering for doughnuts. You drive up to a dark parking lot filled with cars and a small lit hut of a business. You walk inside and there isn't much there, some tables in the center with a line that wraps around. You look at the display walking up and there's about 15 items to choose from. All of them are fresh fried rings of dough, simple yet visually alluring. I could not decide which one's to get... So I got them all! I took them home and tried them all out in private, the most notable were the apple fritter and the red velvet. They were DEVINE. I, hundred percent recommended this place for any morning cravings. Stop wasting time thinking about...
