Stopped in at the Merkel donut shop, coming back from the WASP museum in Sweatwater. Such a friendly lovely owner in this hidden little gem. I think we bought one of everything in her shop, and it was all so good! My favorite donuts are the apple fritter & the glazed old fashion. They were really really yummy!!! If you have a chance to stop in, you’ll be happy you did!

In old downtown Merkel. Place was busy with locals when I arrived which is a good sign. Good selection and great prices. Place was very clean with good customer service. The donut shop is easy to miss but right across from RR track.

I loved the jalapeno kolaches.. second best but might be tied with my favorite donut spot on kolaches. Nice gentlemen who assisted us this morning.

This is a great little donut shop. Merkel is pretty small and this place is right in the down town area. Super friendly owners. The gentleman is quite and the lady speaks in a real high squeaky voice that is just too cute.

For a small town, we have some of the greatest businesses in the world. This place is one of the best. Always you are greeted with a smile. Good donuts and she always throws in a few donut holes. Please try it.

The owner is the sweetest lady! She's always so happy and appreciative of your business. Prices are fair. And by far the best donuts I have found in Abilene, Tye, and Merkel areas.

The only place in town prices are low considering the area! But donuts are no good you taste the oil more than the sweet from the glaze
