"Round Rock Donuts claims to sell more than 500 boxes of donuts on busy days—a highly believable number, as lines often stretch down the block at this little timber hut by a bustling road right off the highway. The made-to-order donuts are soft, fluffy, and just sweet enough to want another. Everything from their classic glazed donuts and cream-filled éclairs to the specialty cake donuts and warm, yeasty fruit kolaches are exactly what donuts should be. A single one of their aptly named Texas-sized donuts fills an entire box." - clara wang, nicolai mccrary
"Round Rock Donuts has been a staple of the greater Austin area for nearly a century, and for good reason. These are the best of the best—simple, fluffy, appropriately sweet, and perfectly balanced. They’re what all the other little donuts in town want to be when they grow up, and they’re absolutely worth sitting through I-35 traffic for. If you really want to melt your brain, order the Texas-sized donut that takes up an entire box of its own." - nicolai mccrary
"The famous doughnut factory up in Round Rock with a Cedar Park location also cranks out some delicious sausage kolaches. Takeout orders can be placed in person." - Melanie Haupt
"It’s hard not to crave the iconic yeast creations with the signature yellow glaze. It’s horrifying to think that we nearly lost this treasure when the original Round Rock Donuts building was destroyed by fire in 2000. Takeout orders can be placed in person through the drive-thru." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Though it’s a bit far out, the Round Rock drive-thru’s doughnuts aren’t to be missed (there’s also a Cedar Park location). Check out the signature glazed or chocolate ones, or go all out with the giant namesake doughnut." - Nadia Chaudhury
