K C Donut Store

These are the best donuts in the area. They are much better than Shipley’s in my opinion. They do often seem to get a late start, I have been by there twice at 7am and they were still closed. Their yeast donuts are the best, but they also have cake donuts, kolaches, and breakfast tacos.

10/10 experience with KC Donuts. We ordered ahead for a birthday party and got our exact order on time. The donuts are phenomenal. You'd think it's hard to mess up a donut.. but somehow these donuts are just better than any we've had around. Photo includes KC donuts, my display and decorations

This spot has everything I was looking for in a small/local donut shop. One surprise was the huge donut holes this place offers. Avoid chain donut shops and make this one a the perfect start to any day exploring the local life of south Austin.

Wasn’t a fan. I have been looking for a good donut shop for awhile. Tried here because of the reviews. Got there 45 minutes after they open hoping to have a good selection since it seemed so popular by the reviews, and they didn’t have any glazed yeast donuts. Only cake donuts. They told me that the yeast donuts wouldn’t be done for awhile. That frustrated me because our family prefers yeast donuts. Looking at the reviews everyone raves about their stuff that isn’t yeast donuts. I got some cake donuts, several old fashions, bacon maple, apple fritters, etc. bacon maple had way more frosting than I’m used to on a bacon donut. They were just okay. Just felt like a huge waste of money. I should have just left instead of buying donuts I’m not that interested in.

I love this place i’ve been coming here since i was a kid (17 now) and it’s so good they have the best donuts i can’t go anywhere anymore bc it’s not as good as them. also their donut holes are so big they are the size of ur palm. cheaper than shipleys but 50x better

Highly suggest…if they have a late start then they do. You can’t rush quality. Love these guys. Waited 3 min for the rest of my donuts to come out

Great donuts! Good variety. A little expensive. Often so busy that service suffers somewhat...but I keep going back. "Atmosphere?" It's a strip mall donut shop.

This store is run by such a nice family, donuts are fantastic cheap and the menu has good variety, GO HERE!

Austin has some bougie donut places, but spending $4-$6 per donut is a little ridiculous when places like KC Donuts are just as good, if not better, and much more affordable. The maple bacon donut was superb, as were the donut holes and the blueberry donut. My partner also loved his standard chocolate glazed donut. The donuts were airy with a nice crispy outside and not too oily. I'd argue they should pull back on the sugar a little, but that would be my only tweak. I also was served immediately and probably spent about 120 seconds in the store total, which is perfect for grab and go. I'm conflicted on whether I will go back (soon), because this place is too good, too convenient, and I'm trying to watch my weight and sugar intake. I don't have the will power to stick to one donut when they are this good.

The perfect powdered donut holes do exist. Crispy and powdery goodness, here! They have kolaches pigs in a blanket, tacos and other savory items aside from the donuts. Friendly and fast staff. This place has become our staple go-to on Saturday mornings. Have tried at least 6 other donut places in Austin, and we finally found our donut place!

Ahh... after years of searching, I have found a rival for Round Rock Donuts. KC makes great raised donuts - I was in heaven when I bit into the strawberry glazed one. The dough is so soft and gives into the bite... a heavenly experience. Their cases of donuts look all freshly made, not like they have been sitting our for half a day. I love freshly made anything and this checks the box. I also tried Boston creme, which was a thicc donut. It was tasty but I wish it was a little smaller so it could be more flavorful/manageable to eat. The cake donuts are goo, not great. They are too sweet, especially the maple one. My partner tried their kolache and he loved it. The workers were very helpful and even though there was a line, it moved quickly on the weekend day that we dropped by.

Cute little donut shop on Brodie Lane. There is always a line but it moves quickly. I am not a huge sweets fan but I wish I was because everything in the case looks amazing. I got a jalapeño and cheese kolache and it was fantastic.

They used to have the best raised donuts in Austin, but for reasons I can't even begin to guess, they no longer have raised donuts at all. Employee told us today they sometimes have filled ones but never have normal ones anymore. Their kolaches and old fashion and cake donuts are fine, but the raised ones are the entire reason we have always come here. Unfortunately will not be returning.

The glazed donut holes are so incredibly delicious. I've bought them for multiple job sites and every group that tried them just raves about them. I've even had people reach out and ask me where to get them for themselves. We used to live just behind them which is how we found them but now we moved and we still make the long trip to get them- they are that amazing!!

I've been coming to KC donuts for years, and they have been consistently the best donuts I've had in Austin. Service is kind and friendly. The store itself is nothing but a hole in the wall, but what more do you need for a donut shop?! Try the maple bacon old fashioned! You won't be sorry.

This is my favorite place for donuts in Austin. Skip that Shipleys across the street! What you want is KC donuts. The kolaches and croissant sandwiches are always fresh and yummy. The donuts are just the right amount of fluffy and chewy and glaze on top. I'm also a fan of their donut holes.

Wow! I can't believe I slept on this place! It came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Some of the best customer service I've experienced in ATX! A small, cozy, but welcoming environment. As I was leaving, the shop filled up and out the door. I tried the maple bacon donut and bacon, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich. Both were delicious. They threw in a few donut holes, too. The internet was down so I couldn't pay with card. I had cash on me, but not enough. I did have some more cash in the car, and I was going to get it, but she smiled and said to take it and enjoy. Definitely going back, but with more cash to leave a tip.

I think they have the best old fashioned Cake donuts I have had in many years, and their breakfast sandwiches are great as well. Its also a pleasure to see the always smiling lady/owner behind the counter as well. And their huge donut holes can't be beat!!!

Best glazed donut holes ever, anywhere. Apologies to Portland Oregon but you take second place to KC Donuts. KC is a Small business, not a chain. Breakfast tacos are cheap and very good. Selection of yeast and cake donuts is large.

I wake up craving their croissant sandwiches!! One time I walked in and they did not have anymore sandwiches, but I came back 5 mins later and they had restocked! Their donuts are so fluffy and soft. Like I'm biting into a sugary cloud. I love the idea of Texas sized donut holes. Service is amazing. Everyone is always very nice. I appreciate the fact that they always ask if you want your sandwich warmed up (I always forget). 10/10 would recommend this place!!

Great place. Donuts kolaches and breakfast tacos. Every once in a a while they throw in some donut holes

Easy to see why KC Donuts always has a line! I literally see people either a) come in and take the wait or b) step out of their cars, see the line & leave. KC Donuts has more than just donuts (& those donuts aren't basic either). KC Donuts offers fresh-to-be-made Breakfast Tacos, a variety of gourmet donuts (maple bacon, lemon, blueberry lemon, etc), kolaches, AND MORE. My personal favorite is a classic-- the glazed donut. However, I highly highly recommend ordering the massive Texas-Sized Donut Holes!!!! Also, the Breakfast Tacos and salsa were perfect. You basically order what you want to be made. It does take a bit of time since once again, these need to be made. Kolaches were meh to me, as the ratio of bread/sausage had too much breading. They also have Pigs-in-a-Blanket, but these babies run out fast! Please note: KC Donuts is a small mom & pop shop owned by immigrants. Super sweet people. Be patient & kind, as they are doing their best!

So awesome and so delicious fresh yummy friendly and will absolutely brighten up your day We have moved up to Pflugerville, and have been away from the neck of the woods, but totally worth the drive on a beautiful Sunday afternoon

KC Donuts is THE GO-TO on So-Bro for breakfast sandwiches/tacos, kolaches and other goodies when it needs to be quick/ on the run. We've been here several times, and the service is quick with a great selection of donuts and other sweet treats.

Fantastic service and I always look forward to coming here to get a great donut or breakfast croissant! They even have some really good breakfast tacos! So glad I live close by!

Tacos are delicious! Donuts are way too good. And the staff is super friendly. I had to have an order ready to be picked up at 7:30 a.m. They let me put in an order the day before so it was ready to go right when they opened.

Wonderful donut, quick, efficient service, and wow do they know how to make a pretty display! There were too many varieties to choose from in one go, which was heartbreaking. The Oreo one, the cakey boys, and the kolaches were all top tier. I just wish the old fashioned chocolate donut was a little less oily. Maybe just an off day? Worth trying again!

Best in town by far! My wife and I have been coming to this location for years, and we have never been dissatisfied. I highly recommend checking out this great spot.

Amazing doughnuts! I wish I could go more often. I love supporting family owned businesses!

Way over priced and $5 min on credit card. Walked in for a single apple fritter, $4 plus tax. Won't sell it to me b/c of a $5 min credit card limit. Shipley's is across the street and apple fritters are much cheaper. I've tried KC before years ago but the food and service was horrible. A friend insisted I give them another shot...epic fail.

Best donuts in the area. Really always went to a competitor that was local and good.. but not as good as KC. Love the donut holes, very good glazed donut.

Wow, I was going in to have a simple glazed donut and walked out with a half dozen. Too much good looking variety to pass up! These donuts are really good! The line was outside the door, but it moves quickly. Definitely coming back! All their types of donuts were delicious!

Best doughnut shop in Austin.friendly staff very clean restaurant definitely delicious will be back

Best donuts in Austin! The service could be better but whatever the donuts are crazy good especially the old fashion glaze

Really, truly the best donuts (and donut holes) in Austin. Hmm, maybe in Texas? My husband was in St. David's South after an auto accident and I wanted to take donuts to the trauma team, the ER department and 7th floor staff to thank them for helping him. I didn't get home till late and couldn't order in advance (the proper thing to do, obviously, for a large order). I arrived just when they opened and a few people were already there, but they took the time to make me 3 big boxes of donuts and donut holes of all different kinds. Of course I had to have my own little bag of donut holes, powdered sugar, cinnamon and oh yeah the BIG yeast donut holes. I was in heaven and the staff at St David's thought I was maybe an angel:} Ha! Make yourself happy. Make other happy. Be good to yourself, get your donuts at KC Donuts. The only issue is that you may find yourself obsessing over them, so you just have to return and get more donuts!

Incredible donuts and a line out the door. You know you're in the right place! What a treat.

Yummy donuts and the best strawberry glazed and old fashion donuts in Austin! Service is fast and people are nice.

The Glazed Donut Holes & Cinnamon Rolled are Huge & Tasty and the Breakfast Tacos are the Best

Great service. They overcharged me and ran out to let me know and fixed the issue. Their donuts just look fresh! Standard donut shop feel

I used to come here as a kid and now that I'm back in this part of Austin I was so excited to come back to KC donuts!!! Their apple fritters are the absolute best! You can't go wrong with anything! Absolutely delicious and a great way to start any morning with a treat from here!

BEST donuts in Austin! I'll go out of my way to get them. Try'em out! You won't be disappointed!

The donut holes from KC give me life. Seriously, probably the best donut holes I've ever had.

100% best donuts in South Austin. Going anywhere else is silly. They sell out of the best donuts early on the weekends so don't sleep in.

An Austin local's secret. Fluffy soft glazed donuts. Better than any big chain stores out there.

Hands down the best donuts in Central Texas. If I could give 6 stars I would. The customer service is always great and the donuts are always fresh. They don't have an over complicated selection which is hard to find nowadays. Simple, delicious and fresh every time we go.

I only come here for their gigantic donut holes. Been here a few times, and I am a sucker for their donut holes. Especially when they come out fresh early in the morning. By the end of the day, the quality isn't quite the same...so I highly suggest going when you have an early start to your day! I've been here solo as well with other people, and the majority of us think that the donuts here are on the sweeter side. My go-to donut is the old-fashioned donut, and I also feel like their old fashion is a bit too soft. I'd like a little bit of a crunchier bite, but that's just me being picky. They also serve breakfast tacos, but they ALL have meat in it...so my vege-eaters, beware! They also have a no credit card rule if your order is less than $5 I believe, so make sure you have that dinero on you. Service has always been efficient and nice, so I would come back again for the folks. Their donut shop is unassuming with only a few seating options indoors, but some more outdoors. No wifi, but they do have a fridge of drinks like coconut water and juices, and they do prepare hot coffees and smoothies.

Awesome little stealth donut place with excellent donuts and sneaky spicy kolaches. It has that old Austin feel I treasure and worry is leaving us as the days pass. The only reason I give it four stars is that there's usually a limited selection so I haven't had a chance to really experience all their donut magic. And no, I don't show up hungover at noon expecting fresh donuts, I usually roll in around 8/8:30 on the weekends.

First time trying this place and I think we've found our new doughnut shop! The lemon blueberry was perfectly balanced with tartness and sweet. They also gave us some fresh doughnut holes and they were just as good! Definitely recommend coming here and giving it a try!

The best donut I've had in a long time! Their cake donut had the perfect balance of donut to icing. Highly recommended.

Yum! Finally made it down South to go here. And boy and I'm glad I did. I mean donuts are all the same aren't they, absolutely not and K C Donut is one that will show you it's different. There is something for everyone. The donut holes here are fluffy lovable balls of dough they are the lightest things ever and super tasty. The cinnamon roll here is absolutely delicious. It's huge too! The fritter is also amazing. I also got a croissant sandwich as well and it was amazing too! The owner? lady was super nice! She was patient and they have such a great selection of items that I wish I lived closer or they opened one up north near me! Great and delicious all around. The price is fantastic too! Love it! I will always stop by if I'm down South and they are open. I would tell everyone to go here!

It's a small shop full of deliciousness! I am so coming back here. Lots of great choices. We picked up an order of 30 dozen doughnut holes for a child's birthday party. They were good size and a big hit. I really want to come back and try their sandwiches and that bacon covered beauty!

The donuts are better than Shipley's. I give them that. But their customer service is not good at all. The lady with the sunglasses is rude and the guy just stands there staring. Unfortunately this is the main donut shop in our area and I don't even feel like walking in there anymore, because they never have anything but cake donuts from when they open. It's a frustrating venture every time. As for their hours, that's wrong too. They say they open at 6:30, but they don't actually open until 7 or later. Even then, they're not ready for a real donut order. Sigh.... I won't be back.

A surprise full of awesomeness. Zero frills at this spot. It's delicious small inside and tastefully simple. Our favs were the oversized donut holes! Wow! Sprinkled were a hit too. I had a croissant blast sandwich. Made earlier and reheated, whatever, it was still good. We got a tons and only spent $11. Can't lose!

KC Donuts is supposed to be one of the best places in Austin. It's as good as any other place we tried in Austin, but like all the others, it's not that great. We tried a number of their donuts, as well as apple fritters. All were just OK.

Jennica is a maestro of donuts! She is inventive with new flavors yet consistent with old standards. New to me German Chocolate. All the cake donuts were light as a feather with a nice crispy exterior. Probably the best raised glazed I ever had. Love this donut shop and happy it is so close to home!

AHHHHH MAZING but damn.. when do they open?! You'll find several things online but nothing is accurate. Even the door opening times have been removed and the times open here are incorrect too. I know this because at 615 I drove past an open Shipley's thinking it'd be worth it to wait 15 min until KC opened at 630. One hour later at 7:15 they flipped on the light. Yay! The lady confirmed that they 'usually try to open between 7-715'. I forgot to ask her what days they're closed but I think it's Monday, Tuesday, or both. Also they had everything available except regular glazed donuts and donut holes. Of course the only reason I was there She told me that 'regular donuts aren't ever ready until about 8:30' SOB! Since I work a 9-5 I suppose I'll never get to enjoy Either way, hope this helped!! I couldn't find accurate info anywhere and I had a full hour in the car to research too lol

Amazing donuts. Lemon blueberry is the best! Lots of variety. Highly recommend!
