One of our favorite parts of living in Houston is the delicious donuts you can find here. Whether you’re a glazed donut aficionado or you’re looking for something you’ve never seen before, there are plenty of shops to satisfy your dessert demands. Here are our top picks for the best donut shops in Houston:
Hugs & Donuts
This is by far one of the most top-rated donuts shops in the city. There are so many flavors to choose from at Hugs & Donuts. There are two main donut categories: yeast and cake. Their yeast creations include strawberry shortcake, maple bacon, classic glazed, Biscoff cookie butter, and filled donuts, which change fillings every day. Their cake donuts are sweeter — think Fruity Pebbles, birthday cake, and chocolate toffee. You can’t go wrong with Hugs & Donuts.
Christy’s Donuts & Kolaches
If you’re looking for a solid mom-and-pop donut shop, head to Christy’s Donuts & Kolaches. Fritters, creme-filled donuts, chocolate-covered, plain, blueberry cake — Christy’s has all the classic options you’d want from an old-school donut shop. Grab a cup of coffee and a couple of your favorite flavors, and start the day off right at Christy’s.
Sam’s Fried Chicken and Donuts
Sam’s Fried Chicken and Donuts is the beginning of a beautiful relationship between you, fried chicken, and donuts. Sam’s is well-known for marrying the two in a delicious sweet and salty combination that will make you want to come back again and again. Grab a dozen of their praline bacon donuts with caramel icing, Mexican chocolate donuts, or birthday cake donuts with sprinkles and you’ll be the new favorite at your office.
Donutlicious
This brand-new shop was instantly one of our favorite places to get donuts. As the name suggests, their donuts are delicious. Dine-in to enjoy their happy, exciting atmosphere and dig into their great donut options. Orange cream, matcha green tea, strawberry Pop-Tart, cotton candy — this place will hit anyone’s sweet tooth. If you want to wow the kids, Donutlicious is a great place to do it.
Glazed, the Doughnut Cafe
Glazed, the Doughnut Cafe has every taste and style covered. Looking for something earthy? Try their chocolate bacon, pecan melody, or praline donuts. Something extra sweet? Go for their Death By Chocolate, Fruit Loops, or red velvet donuts. If you’re looking for lunch and dessert on the same plate, get their bacon grilled cheese sandwich (no bread — all donuts). We can’t get enough of Glazed’s artisan product.
Morningstar
This is the ultimate coffee and donut shop. Morningstar offers barista-level coffee drinks to pair with their top-notch donuts. You’ll find vegan donuts, pineapple fritters, matcha, chocolate, and fruity creations. They have specialty flavors they change every weekend, so every trip to Morningstar is a new experience. Mornings are better with Morningstar.
Nothing hits the spot quite like a well-executed donut masterpiece. The hardest part about finding good donuts in Houston is choosing between these reliably delicious shops. Let’s live our best lives with all the donuts we can eat.
