“Doughnuts… Is there anything they can’t do?” These excellent doughnut shops will bring out your inner Homer Simpson, guaranteed. From just plain glazed to toppings like cereal, bacon, and Oreo cookies, bakers have gotten more creative about satisfying Houston’s sugary needs. Here are the best places to go to take part in the doughnut revolution.
Glazed, The Doughnut Cafe
Glazed, The Doughnut Cafe makes fresh doughnuts 24/7. There’s often a line but the wait is definitely worth it. There’s an expansive variety to glaze it up with, like the dirty zebra, the brisket doughnut, and a classic favorite: cookies ‘n cream. The macon (maple icing and bacon) is a must-try, perfectly fluffy with a balance of a sweet and salty crunch that’s irresistible.

River Oaks Donuts
A cute little shop on Westheimer called River Oaks Donuts cranks it up a notch with doughnut holes and a plethora of creative flavors. With a friendly staff, superb coffee, and fresh doughnuts at a fair price, what more could anyone ask for? River Oaks Donuts also happens to be one of the three doughnut shops in Houston to sell cronuts, a combination of a croissant and a doughnut that originated in New York City. Amazing, right? Waste no time indulging in one of these.
