Le Donut

Donut shops are big business in Texas and many of them tend to be like a small cafe, Asian owned, and catering to a very local crowd. Le Donut is no exception and generally do a good job with most of what they offer. While it might seem like they're like other donut spots, they definitely do some things better than others. Also, I think the name is genius. (#1)In the mornings, this place smells like a fresh bakery. There is a steady flow of Med Center professionals coming in and out with their hot coffee, donuts and/or sandwiches. It's a fun scene, albeit a busy one, and easily the busiest store in their mini strip-mall plaza. Parking is solid, but can be a tad tough when they're at capacity.I'm a sucker for cake donuts over yeast ones and I'm pleased to report Le has a good number of both. The bavarian and sprinkles are always going to be a big hit with the youngins, but I personally enjoy their apple fritters, bear claws, eclairs, and plain glazed. Most of the flavors offered are typical but all are certainly worth trying. If cronuts are available, get all of them. For a dozen donuts, it's roughly $13.I am an even bigger fan of their ham and cheese croissant, as well as their selection of kolaches. For the latter, they have a jumbo sausage and cheese that is tasty and the jalapeño version is even better. The bacon, egg, and cheese kolache is in such demand that it's almost always out. Boudin and smoked brisket are always good choices. It's actually one of the better kolache spots in the area and should be heated up prior to consumption.The staff is super nice. They're really generous with dropping a few donut holes here and there and do a good job with the arrangements / packaging. These ladies never rush even if there are others waiting and generally do it all with a smile.They close promptly each day at 1pm or whenever they sell out. They accept credit cards and/or cash. Parking is never an issue and calling ahead of time to confirm availability is never a bad idea.___________(#1) Likely a family surname and it fits perfectly with the theme.

I tried this spot on a whim one day and was amazed at how good the Cronuts were! I have never had something like it so it was a surprisingly good change up from the regular donut. They have huge brisket kolaches that are to die for as well as ham and cheese croissants! They are so kind to throw in an extra bag of donut holes and I find that extremely thoughtful. As for the prices, they are a bit expensive. I had to call after the second time I went because it's hard for me to ask "what did I get for $X.XX??" in person so I just leave paying whatever they say. Brisket kolache- $5.49; Ham and cheese crossaint- $4.49; Cronuts- $3 for 1 I may go back every 6 months or so if I'm craving a cronut but other than that, I'll go to a different mom and pop shop.

Great mom and pop donut store. It is a hole in the wall but the food is amazing. All different types of donuts. The glazed and iced donuts were soft and fluffy. Amazing flavor. I bought 2 dozen variety of flavors and my friends completed both boxes in matter of minutes.

Wonderful small local business. They offer a wide variety of donuts and breakfast sandwiches. There were so many options it was hard to narrow down what I wanted. The sweet lady running the shop was very kind. She gave us an extra free treat. The prices are great and the offerings were much better that anything you can get at a chain. I also witnessed the sweet lady bagging up donuts and a drink that she took to a homeless gentleman that was behind the building. This absolutely touched my heart. This is a business that I will continually patronize.

The sweetest people ever, and the best donuts ever. If you haven't had a cronut, RUN. They also have boudain kolaches, which moving from SETX it's hard to find a good boudain kolache. Theirs are the only things remotely even close and they're super good and a good spice. The only thing I'll say is there breakfast burritos suck, but everything else definitely makes up for it. Love my local donut shop

This place is amazing! Best neighborhood donut shop. I'm a huge Shipley's fan, but y'all...... they are better. The staff are sooo nice and friendly! Run to this donut spot!

It was okay, they had a croissant donut that I really did enjoy tho melted in your mouthkolaches for some reason never have enough cheese in them Anymore. It's not just this location its all I see

If you need donuts before an early shift in Houston's formidable TMC healthcare labyrinth, Le Donut is a great spot. They open promptly at 5:00 daily and have a broad selection of donuts and kolaches to properly shower all your coworkers and team members with warm sugary (or savory) confections. It's a humble, straightforward "grab & go counter service" but the staff are prompt and friendly. We have tried some but not yet all of their offerings but have been delighted thus far. Le Donut for the win (FTW)!!

Not worth it IMO. Went to try a cronut. It must've fallen over in the fryer so was misshaped and tasted like nothing but oil

Great donuts. Very fresh and soft, tasty. I would recommend this place in all med centers. I've been coming here for years. Staff is nice and pleasant . Very happy as well.
