A legendary stop in Round Rock, Round Rock Donuts draws sweet-toothed locals and donut pilgrims alike.

Where the Donuts Are Yellow—and the Reputation Is Golden

Since 1926, Round Rock Donuts has been satisfying Central Texas sugar cravings with their iconic, golden-hued glazed donuts. Located at 106 W Liberty Ave in Round Rock, this family-run shop has earned national fame—thanks in part to an appearance on Man vs. Food—but it’s the quality and consistency that keep generations of Texans coming back. These donuts are more than a breakfast treat—they’re a rite of passage.

Handmade the Old-Fashioned Way

The secret? A unique yeast-based dough that’s rich with fresh eggs, giving each donut its distinct golden color and light, bread-like texture. Unlike most modern donuts, these can’t be machine-made. Every donut is hand-rolled, cut, fried, and glazed, just as they were nearly a century ago. On a busy weekend, the bakery might crank out over 500 dozen—but each one still feels (and tastes) lovingly made.

Glazed, Caked, or Custom-Made—They Do It All

While the classic glazed is the undeniable star, donut fans also rave about the old-fashioned cake varieties, seasonal specials, and even giant-sized donuts (perfect for birthday parties or sugar-fueled office mornings). They also create custom cakes and specialty orders with the same care and quality, whether you’re planning a celebration or just want to surprise someone with something sweet.

Early Birds Welcome—The Line Moves Fast

Doors open at 4:30 AM daily, and while there’s usually a line out front, it moves quickly and is absolutely worth it. Whether you're a longtime local or just passing through, one bite into that warm, sticky glaze and you’ll understand why these donuts have reached cult status.
