Omaha Donuts — Restaurant in Omaha

TLDR: This is the place from which you want to get donuts!!!!!

So, prior to about 2 months ago, I did not really enjoy donuts. Of course, they tasted "good" but I seldom went to buy and eat a donut on my own accord.

Well, 2 months ago, I was reasoned that perhaps I just had not found the right donuts, perhaps all my donut experiences up to that point were not good. So I naturally decided to begin a quest to find the best donuts in East Texas.

To date, I gave tried Kason's donuts (Chapel Hill, Texas), all 3 Donut Palaces in Tyler (all under separate ownership and are unrelated), Whitehouse donuts (Whitehouse, Texas), Shipley's (Tyler), Donut Delight (Tyler), Sunrise donuts (Tyler). Of these, I can say that Omaha Donuts has the best customer service and the best average donut flavor. Allow me to explain with my experience on one recent Sunday morning.

I showed up to Omaha Donuts around 9am looking to try some donuts. For my family, I absolutely needed a raspberry filled donuts (for my mom - it's her favorite) and some other donuts for the rest of the fam. Unfortunately, they were out of all raspberry filled donuts. Upon completion of our order, the lady made us raspberry filled donut holes, on the house! This is the best customer service I have found yet. But it gets better.

While we waited for the lady to collect all of our donuts, my sister and I were talking. As we scoped out the chocolate cake donuts, we were talking about how neither of us had ever had a good chocolate donut. I presume that the lady heard us because she then proceeded to give us a double fudge chocolate cake donut on the house! Surprisingly, it was delicious - it was extremely chocolatey and moist!

Lastly, as a believer in constructive criticism, I will say that Omaha Donuts's apple fritters were not that good. They didn't have enough apple bits and they were too thin. They really just seemed pre-formed/not house made, unlike the other donuts I had just eaten from there.

Long story short: best donuts and best customer service I have found at an etx donut...

Omaha's best kept secret. I had the bavarian cream; the cream doesn't go in until ordered. The donut was light, fluffy like a cloud; heavenly good. I ordered 2 breakfast burritos I gifted and were enjoyed, the blueberry donuts I gifted were devoured, their blueberry scones are not typical for a scone but are moist and blueberries were big & juicy very fresh and tasty. They just started serving gravy & biscuits and I saw the biscuits being made fresh. The staff are friendly, establishment is clean, well stocked options. Hours are limited so look them up before dropping in. They open at 5AM great for early morning...

I'm from New York and moved down here in 2019. This shop is by far the best donut shop around here. I'm originally from Marshall, Texas and this shop beats other shops. The owners are spunky and so nice and donuts are always great! Never burnt, always soft and crunchy where needed. The breakfast options are really tasty as well. The ONLY downfall is that they are not open longer! 🤣 Get in there and get some soul food either through the drive through or walk on inside. You cannot be disappointed with what they offer you. Take your own word for it and...
