City Donuts

Just tried their cake donuts and WOW I've had so many different cake donuts but they are just so dense and crumbly. These are by far what you would call a cake donut so soft and NOT dry, loved them. The cinnamon twist is an other fav of ours, they are so soft and chewy. They stay for a while as well, we can't eat all that we get in one sitting so a couple of hours later they are still soft. Kim the owner was super friendly and nice. Definitely don't pass up this small shop!!!

ONE chocolate covered long John is all that it takes for a full meal deal. The icing…….the absolute best! The owners…….very friendly. You’re missing out if you go anywhere else. I have driven out of my way 3 mornings in a row to cheat on my diet. Y’all need to try this place out. What are you waiting for? Go!

The best in town! Everything they make is delicious and fresh every single time. They’re also very kind and personable. I’m lucky to live close but would be willing to make the drive for their kolaches and donuts!

Best doughnuts in Lubbock. The establishment itself isn't visually appealing but that isn't what you are there for.

Me and my family came here today for an Easter treat. The cashier up front was very busy, but still really friendly. She recommended some really good donuts. I bought an oreo, strawberry filled, lemon filled, blueberry cake, and a long maple. Man, these are good donuts. I'm not really a donut fan honestly, but these scratched that donut itch I get a few times a year. They were fresh, some were perfectly dense, others were light and chewy (my favorite). If you want a good donut, go here. My wife being a self named "expert donut enjoyer" raved about them as well. So that's all the approval you really need.

To be honest, my boyfriend and I frequent this place almost everyday! Not only is the quality of the donut consistent; their customer service is always friendly and speedy. The donuts are fresh and perfectly soft. This family run shop is the real deal! I never go anywhere else in Lubbock!

Ms. K is so sweet and patient, every time I come by for lunch she welcomes me with a big smile and the best customer service I’ve seen. My brother and I come by so often she asks “how many kolaches” because we love City Donut’s kolaches. She has recommended I try the blueberry cake and the cinnamon twist donuts and phenomenal would be an understatement.

If you want the freshest food, and outstanding customer service to start your day...then this is the place you are looking for. Good food made by good people!

Just came in from DFW and enjoyed the best and most fresh donuts! The people there were extremely nice and worked well with my family and I! I recommend the kolaches!

One of the few places I can go and order anything and always be happy and satisfied. Donuts, kolaches, fritters, whatever- it's all consistently good. The owners are super friendly as well, I can't recommend this place enough for your breakfast stop!

Best kolaches in Lubbock hands down. The two owners are both super nice and friendly. This is THE BEST donut shop in town by far.

fast service and excellent donuts + kolaches, go here instead of Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme. Open from 5am - 1pm.

Best donuts in town. They are our go to donut shop. Combest Funeral Homes loves you guys. If you need Donuts this is the place to go. They are an amazing group of guys. Best Donuts in Lubbock. With great care.

Small, unassuming spot on 19th has the best cinnamon rolls in Lubbock. Well worth braving the street construction! Don't miss the drive thru in back.

Best donuts in town, bar none. My go to is a spicy kolache, donut holes, and a Dr. Pepper. Breakfast of champions. Super friendly and sweet family that runs this business. Stop by and tell them Mark sent you. Who knows, maybe you’ll get an extra donut hole or something!

Y'all. In addition to being the best fluffiest gigantic donuts in town, TXDoT is doing everything they can to put these people out of business. Please go support this small business and don't be deterred by the blocked off drive, they are VERY much open and AMAZING.

In search of West Texas' best donut shop, look no further than Lubbock's beloved 'City Donuts.' A mere 5 minutes away from the TTU campus in central Lubbock, it is THE ideal breakfast spot for any pastry or breakfast snack item that could come to mind. I've been a loyal patron since my first year moving to Lubbock in 2019 when I was greeted with such sincere warmth and hospitality that reflected seamlessly into the service they provide and the products they proudly serve. This review features their famous "Sausage and Cheese Kolaches" and a "Classic Strawberry Sprinkled Donut," paired alongside a "Chocolate Powdered Croissant," and a "Strawberry Cream Cheese Donut." My personal favorites are their two variations of kolaches (that feature a jalapeño & cheese option and a regular sausage & cheese option), their "Blueberry Cake Donut" and "Apple Fritter." I find the quality amongst their regular and seasonal items that they offer to be superb and more delicious each opportunity I get to enjoy them again! The service is simply the best as you can be sure to always be welcomed in with a smile and a pleasant aptitude to deliver the highest quality service available with any qualm one may find themselves needing resolve. Today was no different than any other visit as I was serviced above satisfactory, and I was happily reminded how much my patronage matters on a business and personal level as a fellow member of the community. Can't recommend enough!

Today, I ventured into City Donuts for the first time, and let me tell you, I was not ready for what awaited me. I came for a simple breakfast, but I left questioning everything I thought I knew about kolaches and apple fritters. First, the spicy kolaches—soft, warm, and just the right amount of spice to wake me up without making me regret my life choices. Whoever is back there making these deserves a handshake, a raise, or at the very least, a “Kolache Artist of the Year” award. Then came the apple fritter. Or should I say, The Apple Titan. This thing is massive. I’m pretty sure it has its own gravitational pull. I picked it up, and for a brief moment, I thought I had accidentally grabbed a free weight instead of a pastry. But despite its size, it was perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and cinnamony on the inside, and had just the right balance of sweetness to make me consider taking up permanent residency inside City Donuts. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out. Come hungry, leave happy… and possibly bring a friend to help you carry that fritter. Highly recommend! Will 100% be back for another round (and maybe some arm day workouts with that apple fritter).

AMAZING!!! Just when you think they can’t get any better, you take a bite of a different flavor and they do!!! We were just passing through town and decided to stop, now we will be anxiously making this a regular stop. You won’t be disappointed!

This is the best donut shop in town, we go every Saturday and they are always so soft and delish. The owner are always cheery and sweet. Just freaking love this place.

This is by far the best donut shop in Lubbock! The donuts and Kolaches are absolutely amazing! The couple are so nice and sweet. It’s a must to come here. 10/10

Best local donuts in Lubbock! You can tell that everything they make is made with love for their customers and love for what they do! I love their cinnamon rolls and donut holes! So if you want donuts, go local and go city donuts!

Hands down, no contest, THE BEST DONUTS in Lubbock! It’s a small family business run by he loveliest people, and the donuts they make are DELICIOUS!! Their apple fritters are crispy perfection. Their cinnamon rolls are out of this world — SO MUCH BETTER than anywhere else!! Cake, filled, you name it — they do it better than anyone else. Even after we moved way across town, we still make the trek because no other donuts in town compare!

Some of the BEST doughnuts in town for sure! The raised doughnuts are so soft and pillowy! They were so fresh that the next day they were almost just as good! By day 3 they were definitely less soft but still good to eat...that's an impressive feat right there for a doughnut! Even better than the doughnuts though were the kolaches! Softest bread I've ever had surrounding a yummy sausage. I didn't even need mustard for it to be tasty! The owners were very nice, the building is a bit run down, but just like the best food comes out of little hole-in-the-wall places, so do the best doughnuts!! Go get you some...you won't be disappointed!!!😍

Tried them for the first time the other day and will now be my go to donut shop! Donuts are just absolutely delicious not to mention the kolache’s are delicious as well! Can’t go wrong here!

Best donut place in Lubbock! Really friendly service and it feels very nostalgic when you walk in! Very good donuts and other foods as well! Never ordered a bad thing from them - everything is amazing! 💖 10/10, will always reccomend!

I have been going to this donut shop for years and let me tell you, this year they have been pushing and mastering the perfect size, texture, and straight up delicious donut in Lubbock!!!! The bear claw is hands down the biggest, fluffiest, and TASTIEST in the entire Lubbock area!!

Total hidden gem. There were so many goodies I had trouble deciding and the staff is so incredibly kind and had a ton of patience for this picky customer. I got the chocolate croissant, lemon blueberry fritter, and the powdered donut with strawberry and cream cheese. Each were amazing in their own way. I will be back.

Absolutely worth the drive in road construction to one of the best small businesses in town. The warm friendly smile and amazing donuts and food will brighten your day. The huge lemon blueberry fritter and chocolate croissants are my favorite! The kolaches are warm and soft. The sweetest staff ever. I will absolutely be sharing their wonderful donuts with clients. Thank you!

The BEST donuts in town! The chocolate is real chocolate flavor, which no other donut shop has! Don’t let the road construction keep you from going!

Staff is super friendly! And I love their donuts - perfectly done every time. They’re some of the best in town in my opinion. Apple fritters and old fashioned chocolates are my go to and they do not disappoint. They even offered a sample of the lemon blueberry fritter - which while it isn’t for me - was still very good. Just a wonderful little shop with folks that clearly love donuts and interacting with folks.

We make the ten mile drive across town just to get City Donuts! We have been going monthly for the past few months and never go anywhere else for donuts or kolaches. The husband & wife duo each are personable & friendly. Our go-to is a chocolate donut and a blueberry cake donut. Their kolache breading is NOT like any other. (tastes like the best dinner roll you’ve ever had). I don’t think anyone in Lbk can compare to City Donuts. Don’t let the constant city of Lubbock construction deter you. It is worth it!

These are by far the best donuts I've ever had!!

This place is definitely worth the hype! Everything was really fresh and the donuts were soft. I highly recommend the strawberry cheesecake donut and the chocolate croissant, super tasty! I went at 11am and there was still plenty to pick from, but some things were sold out so I'd recommend going earlier if you want something in particular.

I absolutley love this place! The donuts taste amazing and I would say are the best in the city. I have tried other local shops and this one blows the other ones out of the park. You can actively taste how good the donuts are and can feel the love that is put into them. Definitely try them out!

The best donuts and kaloches in lubbock by far! Friendliest service and they did some minecraft themed donut holes for my sons birthday! I look forward to my saturday morning here every week! You guys are awesome and always have an outstanding attitude!

My go-to donut shop! I drive past several shops on my way to work because the donuts here are so fresh, soft, & chewy. Service is excellent & the construction on 19th Street hasn’t changed their hours of operation!

City Donut is, without a doubt, the best donut in Lubbock. Period. We have several donut shops near our house, but we insist on driving 4-5 miles to get our donuts and kolaches at City Donut. Their donuts are generously frosted without being too decadent. My kids and wife like their strawberry and white frosted sprinkles. I prefer their chocolate donuts because they are exceptional. The large kolaches with sausage and cheese are very tasty and filling. The breading is out of this world. The owners are super friendly and hard-working. I highly recommend you get your donuts and kolaches from City. You will not be disappointed.

The donuts was Soo good the lil K. Had too much 🍞 but it was good 😊

Depends on what you are getting most everything has been really good, however the service is VERY SLOW. Then when people want to walk up to the drive thru just slows it down even more.

Not impressed. This is the first "donut shop" I've encountered, in my 30+ years over the road, that doesn't allow people to sit inside. The coffee is only average, and the glazed donuts about the same. Long live Mr. Twister (Krispy Kreme)!

The best donuts I've had in Lubbock so far! We like supporting small businesses and they have always had good service/yummy sweets! Wouldn't recommend going when they first open at 5:30am because they don't have everything ready, just the basics.

Closed 😥 Hope it was just because of spring break and major road construction. The owner let me know they are open. So glad as the reviews had me driving 60 miles to try their donuts. Will try again and will revise my rating. NOTE: My stands are high ( Dutch Girl- Detroit-fried buttercream) and (Hurts Donuts-Tempe-Andes mint).
