Bakery Donuts — Restaurant in Mont Belvieu

UPDATED - Response to owner Dear Bakery Donuts,

I understand the difficulties small businesses face, especially when it comes to managing limited parking. However, in this lot shared by 8 other businesses, I’ve never experienced or witnessed another owner approaching customers in such an aggressive manner. Unfortunately, I’m not the only one who’s felt uncomfortable, as many community members have had similar encounters.

Additionally, the reserved parking signs are just yellow "wet floor" stands with copy paper taped to them, which doesn’t make it clear that these spots are officially reserved. This has likely contributed to the confusion, as they don’t appear to be sanctioned by property management. Clearer, more official signage would go a long way in helping customers understand the parking arrangement and reducing tension.

As someone who values supporting local businesses, I hope this feedback is helpful in fostering a more welcoming environment for all customers.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,

Disappointing experience with this donut shop. They’ve blocked off multiple parking spaces with makeshift “donut parking only” signs that have no legal basis, causing unnecessary tension with the neighboring Pilates Studio. The owner has even resorted to chasing off moms and locals who need the parking for their workouts.

It’s a shame, because these same customers would likely grab a box of donuts for their families after a workout. Instead, due to the owner's petty behavior, they’re choosing to support other local shops. I can’t support a business that alienates its community over...

This small business had been my go to for donuts but not anymore. The owner came out yelling and flailing arms at a female going to Pilates because she parked in a spot that had makeshift reserved parking on it. This has happened to several other women who are going to Pilates. This aggressive behavior that is targeted towards women is not tolerated by this community. If next door was a workout center for men, would this business owner feel empowered to be aggressive towards a man? So far the target audience of his anger has been females.

To the business owner: get legal signage. The verbal agreement between you and the building owner of said parking spaces will not hold up in court should a lawsuit arise due to your harassing behavior. If you need help getting said legal signage, please let me know and I can lend a...

Wow! What an experience! Welcome was warm and attentiveness was great. Family owned business with care and love in what they do and the people they serve.

I have been here before but never had the opportunity to leave a review and felt like I needed to share with the community how great this local business is.

I also saw a family was hosting a birthday get together for their son upon my visit.

In case you need a place to gather your mommy friends or dad friends , they provide a lot of seating to accommodate large groups.

Thank you for the great service! Looking forward to...
