Home Cut Donuts

Excellent glazed and holes. Light sweet and pretty much best I’ve ever tasted.
Old school coffee in styrofoam cup with lid but just fine. Solid breakfast sandwiches — tasty and filling. Stuffed my son, nephew, and myself for $ 11 total vice $ 11 each at a hotel breakfast bar. Great pre-​fishing meal.
Go there again in a heartbeat.
Small counter so be ready for takeout.

Amazing amazing AMAZING piping hot food with the sweetest customer service. I will always come here every time in I’m Galveston! The whole experience was a treat!

So good! Got a dozen for $ 4! Glazed is solid but their éclair with angle cake was YUMMY. Get their maple & vanilla iced donuts. Can’t wait to go back!

Bring the old. Bring the young! Perfect little step back in time. Small counters and rotating bar stools line this little treasure as locals talk about the old days and baked delectables leave you with a delirious sweetness of days gone by. Must stop by any time you’re in the need for a little sweetness and comfort of home.

Went on a Friday morning around 8:30. Good variety still available… I had the éclair with vanilla pudding, and my husband had the apple fritter. Both were great, but if I had to do it over agin, I would get the apple fritter, too! He said it was the best he’s ever had. Both were fresh and yummy.
Clean, fast, inexpensive, and fresh.

Stopped by this am. 1^st time here in galvaston. great friendly service and warm fresh moist donuts. we eat donuts at least 1 –2 x month and this is by far light and fluffy when bitten into — thank you for your service

Great little spot for coffee and donuts. Donuts are just right on the density scale. Not too heavy not too light. Friendly locals as well

One otherwise boring Saturday morning my wife and I decided to find the best donut shop on Galveston Island. We purchased standard glazed donut holes from each establishment to compare.
Home Cut Donuts was the winner of our best donut shop quest. (Donut Palace on Broadway was a close second). Their donut holes are the best if you can get them; they sell out frequently. The other donuts are good as well – so are the kolaches, the breakfast croissant sandwiches, and the burritos. Definitely come to Home Cut Donuts if you crave any of the previously mentioned items because this is the best donut shop on Galveston island.

Great breakfast and impeccable customer service!!! Love coming here in the morning!!!

Not your usual Donuts! They are really fresh & have wonderful flavor! My first time to visit this place and I was pleasantly surprised. We picked up Donuts to take to watch the sun rise. With one bite we all agreed they were excellent! No greasy after taste like some other donuts places. We will frequent as our donut place! Very friendly customer service too! You won’t be disappointed.

Delicious! You can tell these are homemade and from scratch. Mine were even still warm!
I showed up about 10:30 on Sunday, and the selection was somewhat limited. You might want to show up a little earlier for a better selection.
Also a nice selection of burritos, biscuits, and kolaches. I didn’t have any of these, but they looked great! (Next time!)
Very friendly staff!
If you are on the island and have a craving for pastries, check them out!

Great little local donut shop on the island! My son is a chocolate with sprinkles connoisseur and he said it was the best ever. Their cinnamon twist with cinnamon sugar was a big hit with the wife! I really enjoyed their breakfast burritos. Thanks for making our morning delightful.

SO and I decided to try a local donut shop for National Donut Day and chose Home Cut Donuts. We came around 9:30 and they were already sold out of 80% of their selections which was pretty disappointing. We ended up ordering sausage-​jalapeño kolaches (which was the only type left) and a «fancy» donut and a blueberry cake donut. The fancy donut was very light and fluffy and the blueberry cake donut was perfect. The kolaches were also pretty good and not very spicy at all. Overall a good, diner-​feel place to stop for donuts in Galveston. Only wish they had offered a free donut today like their competitors!

Let me start off with the fact that there aren’t a great variety of donut shops on the island to choose from. As soon as we walked into Home Cut at 2:00 pm today, we became really excited because we saw a sign for Buy One Donut Get One Free from 2:00 — 5:00 pm (which is when they close). But then we saw that there were only about 4 different kinds of donuts and just assumed that the rest were in the back. When the couple in front of us was done, the woman that worked there told us that this was it. So I guess it was partially our fault for going so late. But $ 4 for a dozen donuts was too tempting of an offer to resist, so we ended up basically getting whatever they had left: a few honey dipped (their word for a glazed donut), an angel cream filled, a white iced, a strawberry filled, and some chocolate cake donuts. I like the honey dipped, it’s a little different from the usual glazed but still good. I wasn’t a fan of the white iced or the angel cream filled, & the others are still sitting in the box. I also asked for the croissant kolaches because I read a couple of good reviews about them, but they were out of those too. I’d probably return here because like I said, there isn’t much else to choose from. I’d probably go early in the morning next time though! I’m not sure if they have the BOGO sale everyday, but it’s a good deal for those that aren’t as picky about their donut flavors since they don’t seem to have many flavors left so late in the day.

I didn’t get a chance to taste everything but what I had was pretty good. First the kolache croissant and donut dough is really very good and frankly the best I’ve had. It’s way better than Shipley for sure. I like that the glaze is not too much and the donuts look nice and taste as if they were made with pride.
There are 2 main reasons this is not a 5 star place:
1. The workers (Asian owner lady) moved donuts between trays with her bare hands and didn’t bother to use gloves. That upset me and frankly was not sanitary.
2. The sausage wiener in the kolache was not flavorful and the small kolache dough was over cooked and too dark.
Everything else I tried was pretty good.

I’m updating my review because of one terrible experience we had on a Saturday morning. My sister orders a beans, egg and cheese burrito and alas – none of that is in her burrito. She takes it back and the lady that regularly runs the floor offers her a new croissant with no bacon because we don’t eat meat. My dad comes in and orders the same thing. The other Hispanic lady says «yeah we still have that» when my dad asks about the beans, egg and cheese. Lo and behold!!! None of that is in his burrito. He takes it back, explains we don’t eat meat. The Asian owner comes over with the same thing they offered my sister and says, «the bacon’s not mixed in there, you can just pull it out.» Excuse me?! This is the worst thing I have ever heard said in a restaurant, let alone a place I regularly go to! The point is that yes, we don’t eat meat and WE DO TAKE THE MEAT OUT, but WE ORDERED SOMETHING ELSE that we were told they had, turning out that it’s not there and someone else says something rude?
I love the caucasian woman that runs the floor, but I’m never going back here. Ridiculous.

The food is great, especially the croissant kolache, and it’s just a cool neighborhood kind of place to check out.

You know a donut store is going to be great if at 11 am the parking lot is packed. People were sitting at counters eating donuts and chocolate milk with their kids on a lazy Saturday morning.
I got a blueberry cake donut, 2 jalapeño sausage kolaches, and a sausage, egg, cheese croissant. It looked like they were sold out of a lot of donuts, but I was happy to get what I got (my usuals). Donuts are on display behind the counter, and kolaches and other sandwiches are on bottom display in front.
Cake donut – really good classic cake donut. Tender crumb, lightly glazed, and nice blueberry flavor (but not artificial tasting!). Doesn’t fall apart in your coffee.
Kolaches were great! The bread was flaky and buttery. The sausage was just the right length for the bread, and the jalapenos were pickled, but only 1 – 2 so it’s not too overpowering. Just as good as Shipley’s (sacrilege!) or anywhere else. I may have eaten it in the car.
The sausage, egg, and cheese croissant was so good that I may have not shared with my husband and just eaten it in some maniacal fury. Croissant was buttery and flaky (but not Paris crisp and flaky), perfect for the innards.
Note: it’s kind of at a weird intersection, so be careful when exiting the parking lot. I almost went the wrong way while eating my kolache.

This place is so cute! Right when you walk in you see people sitting down at these table bar things that are all connected. It’s an old-​school homey environment that’s hard to explain!
We ordered only the kolaches and crossaint ham and cheese sandwiches because there happened to be a storm the night before which resulted in them not having as many items are they usually do. And our morning started out at 1pm haha partially our fault! The croissant was so flaky and it was warmed to just the right temperature. The kolache bread was also really soft.
The kolaches that were left were slightly beat up and person working even gave us a discount without us even asking! She was so nice and welcoming, I usually don’t give 5 stars out often but her attitude is what pushed this review from being a good 4 to a 5! If I still lived here this would def be the place I’d go for breakfast.

This is a great little doughnut shop with good inexpensive eats. The staff is incredibly friendly and there’s a good selection of doughnuts, kolaches, and other pastries.
I agree with the review that says it’s a no frills doughnut shop… no crazy flavors, just simple and tasty doughnuts. My favorites so far are the blueberry cake and powdered raspberry. I have to say I prefer Shipley’s when it comes to the chocolate sprinkle. Nonetheless, this a great place to just relax and eat delicious doughnuts made by wonderful people!
