Southern Maid Donuts Houston Reviews
I’ll give them 5 stars because it’s classic Southern Maid. Have not been to this location in 40 years, not sure it was a SM back then. Several Southern Maids throughout Houston, consistent donut and kolaches. She gave us each a couple donut holes with our kolaches. Cinnamon rolls were perfect, and an extra bag of Donut holes. Not Shipleys melt in your mouth, but still very delicious.
Their donuts and kolaches are seriously the best! Always fresh, soft, and full of flavor. You can really taste the difference. It’s a family-owned spot, and the people there are super friendly. One of my favorite breakfast places in Houston!
Great donuts for great price, lots of choices

This is your old school mom and pop donut shop with the best tasting donuts and kolaches. Gotta come early, those kolaches go quick. Great customer service.
Love the jalapeño kolache! Staff are always friendly and as quick as you need them to be. I've been eating there for 10 plus years.
Great and fresh Kolaches. Pricier than any other spot around but so worth it. Their doughnuts are awesome as well...
I stopped by this morning to pick up some kolaches and donuts. The place was clean and the lady working at the counter was delightful. My coworkers loved the Kolaches and many said they were much larger and better than the ones served at Shipley. The donuts were also fresh and tasty. I will definitely be stopping by again. Thank you.
Terrific & friendly service. Very good & seemingly ALWAYS fresh donuts. I tried going to another donut shop after we had been to this Southern Maid a couple of times, & my family darned near started a revolution! It is a smaller shop, with actual seating for customers...reminds me of older style donut places where the focus was on customer service & good quality rather than just having the largest variety.
Great experience donuts are always fresh & donut holes are delicious. They always put you a couple of extra donuts in the bag!! It also has seating for customers overall great experience & my stop every morning when I get off from work!!
Love their donuts! So fresh, and in my opinion taste better than dunken and Shirley's combined! Respect local businesses and the community will thrive!
Nicest owner and employee better than shipleys
Always very friendly! Very good donuts also!
Love this donut shop. They got the best kolaches and they always give you a couple of little donut holes for free with your order
They got there 3 hours early because of bad weather and got our order ready just in time before the power went out. We love the dedication!
Great neighborhood donut shop with fresh variety of donuts and kolaches.
Donuts are WAY better than any big chain. They don't have a lot of fancy stuff, just really great quality donut essentials. Staff is always moving quick to fulfill orders. We've never had to wait more than 5 minutes.

This place has some good donuts and kolaches, some unique donuts too. I just wish stuff stayed in stock a little longer into the day. I understand though, it's something that happens at a lot of donut shops. Also don't usually have sausage kolaches w/out cheese, but that's not my preference anyways.
I only come here for the sausage kolaches, so I can’t speak to the donuts, but the kolaches are solid. They have a great meat-to-bread ratio (not overly doughy like some places). My personal favorites are the small jalapeño ones. The service here is excellent—the staff is always friendly, and they’ve even opened up a little earlier than the posted time when they saw me walking up. The prices are a little higher than I’d like, but that seems to be the norm everywhere these days. Bonus: You get free donut holes if you buy a dozen kolaches!
I've always enjoyed the quality of their food, but the selection has continued to shrink. 🫤

“The owner of this place is disrespectful and has absolutely no sense of customer service. The employee provides much better service than the owner, who clearly needs to take a customer service training course. I have zero tolerance for being mistreated in a business, especially when I am being polite. Very disappointing experience.”
