Combo Donut

This spot is tucked inside an unassuming shopping center on S Lamar beside Starbucks. It's a great mom-and-pop shop that serves fresh goodies and breakfast as early as 6 a.m. You can tell they're a neighborhood staple because I've been in here a few times where the owners are chatting with families with kids. Excellent service no matter what time of the morning you come in.I used to come here early on weekends if I woke up too early to get a croissant breakfast sandwich (which they would warm up) and a few donuts. I almost don't want to tell y'all this, but this is the best apple fritter in Austin. It's crunch, craggy, sweet, and large. I once took a box of assorted donuts and an apple fritter down to family in SA and was tasked with returning with more fritters next time. Apple fritters are so good they taste amazing after an hour's drive. Come on!Next time you're in the area before 1 p.m., stop in to treat yourself and support a local business. Sidenote: I believe they have a card minimum, but I always come in here spending over $10 (and still try to pay with cash) anyway.

The reviews were good so I checked them out while in town. The donuts are pretty good. Not the best I've had, but good. I'm a donut snob so it needs to be OMG to get 5. Donuts are nice and fluffy, just the glaze is heavy.

Donuts so good they will turn a donut hater into a believer. The fact that I haven't written about Combo Donuts yet amazes me. The love affair I have with their glazed donut is truly the romance of the century. I will start off with the kolaches before I get into my ode to the glazed donut. The kolaches are actually spectacular. The jalapeño kolaches have whole jalapeño slices in them instead of just being in the sausage which I enjoy. I'd like to say I know a thing or two about kolaches being a born and raised texan, and these are my favorite in Austin by far. They really aren't trying to do too much, they're just a classic done EXCEPTIONALLY well. Honestly, that is Combo Donuts whole thing, classics done exceptionally well. The donuts aren't anything special or innovative. Not a maple bacon gold plated donut in sight. But, when I sit down on the patio with a cup of milk and eat my glazed combo donut it is truly me and that donut against the world. I seriously do not know what kind of sweet love they put into their donuts, but, I have been going for the past 2.5 years and have a religious experience every time.I love combo donuts. I love how you walk into combo and it's just the funniest little ambiance, truly a good ole ma and pa hole in the wall donut shop right on s lamar keeping this neighborhood alive and well. I have never been to combo and not seen the sweet lady who is always at the front. If combo ever tried to shut down I would chain myself to the building in protest.

Def best value yeast donuts in town. They're super soft, fluffy, and light - not oily. The glaze is nice but I would def prefer a bit less glaze. Overall delicious donuts at really reasonable prices.

Combo Donuts is truly a hidden gem of South Lamar! This place has the best kolaches, and the most incredible donuts, in all of Austin. The dough they use for everything here is out of this world and makes all their products so fluffy and delicious. Margaret and her family are also the kindest, friendliest people- I'm happy to support such a great local business. Combo Donuts really can't be beat!A few of my favorite items:Sausage and cheese kolacheBoudain kolacheMaple donutsCroissant bacon sandwhichDonut holes

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST YEAST DONUTS. I've lived in Memphis, Chicago and now Austin and this shop's yeast donuts cannot be topped. They are so soft, light and perfectly glazed. The prices are also great. & they have kolaches, croissant wrapped sausages/boudins and croissants sandwiches that are really good too. I feel like it's the only shop around Lamar Blvd that offers a simple but delicious croissant sandwich and that's how I like it.

Some of the best donuts and kolaches I've had in Austin!!! So so so delicious!! Very nice customer service. Family owned. Go support!!!

Same family have operated it for years. Very personable and polite. Great croissant sandwiches and the donuts are the best.

Unassuming, barely lit, donut shop that is the home of by far the best donut in Austin.

These are the best donuts I have ever had in my life. I love this place so much, perfect
