Whether you’re craving a classic glazed donut or something piled high with all the toppings, Austin has plenty of sweet spots worth checking out. From neighborhood favorites to over-the-top creations, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite places around town to grab a donut (or a dozen!).
Little Lucy’s Mini Donuts
It’s hard to miss Little Lucy’s bright pink trailer on Rainey Street! These hot, bite-sized donuts come tossed in flavored sugars, from classic cinnamon to more adventurous combinations. Perfect for sharing, although we won’t judge if you keep the whole bag.
Gourdough’s
Gourdough’s isn’t messing around when it comes to donuts. Head to the original food trailer on South First Street for enormous, made-to-order creations piled high with everything from chocolate and brownie bites to bacon and maple syrup. Definitely bring your appetite.
Donut Taco Palace
Donuts, check…tacos, check…palaces, check—that’s three of our favorite things combined with multiple locations around town. As for the menu? Think breakfast sandwiches, kolaches, croissants, and, as promised, donuts.. Delivery option is available through food delivery apps.
Bougie’s Donuts & Coffee
Two words: Gourmet. Donuts. Truth be told, that’s exactly the kind of food you’d expect to find at a place called Bougie’s, and we aren’t mad about it at all. Bougie’s is elevating donuts to levels of deliciousness we never thought possible. Their coffee is something to write home about as well.
Voodoo Doughnuts
Originally from Portland, Voodoo Doughnut is known for its quirky creations, including the signature Voodoo Doll filled with raspberry jelly and topped with chocolate frosting and a pretzel stake. You’ll also find plenty of colorful, over-the-top options and vegan donuts. Austin has locations on Sixth Street and Burnet Road.
Round Rock Donuts
Round Rock Donuts is celebrating 100 years in 2026! Famous for its distinctive yellow-orange donuts made with fresh eggs, this Central Texas institution is worth the drive. And if you’re feeling ambitious, order the Texas-sized donut, which is every bit as enormous as it sounds. You can visit the original Round Rock location or the newer shop in Cedar Park.
WOW Donuts
WOW Donuts is one of our kid’s favorite spots for a sweet treat! Can defiitely recommend the vanilla and chocolate sprinkle donuts, but the real winners are the ones topped with little toy cars, trucks, and other fun surprises. It’s always a hit when we stop in!
