Daylight Donuts

Tasty fresh donuts. The lemon filled was good, I guess I prefer custard or cream. But still delicious!

We always went to daylight in Oklahoma when hubby was stationed there. It was nothing compared to this one. This particular location should win some kind of award for just the service they provide alone. I know each one is separately owned and operated. Good job to the owner of this one for picking a winning team. We are never disappointed.
The kolaches are my favorite. They are just delicious. Their donuts and pastries are really good too.
The kids area is wonderful. Such a great idea. My little ones love it. They always are able to have a great start to their day when we bring them before school.
Just a great place overall. A wonderful place in the community.

I love this place! The abundance of a large selection of delicious donuts is amazing. The shop is well maintained, clean, and cute. I like the front patio. Perfect to hangout on a nice day. I think this would be a great place to have a baby shower or a get together with girlfriends. Staff is always attentive and friendly. Keep up the good work!

Love stopping here in the mornings! Wonderful customer service & delicious donuts! They are so friendly! Every time we pull up, my 2 year old daughter begs me to go inside because they are always so nice!

Absolutely love Daylight Donuts!!! Kolaches so fresh! The bread they use amazing!
Donuts love the speciality ones for different seasons. Such as salted Carmel in the fall! So good. Cake donuts are not heavy. Just amazing. Service is excellent and friendly.
Down fall, not over on the Northeast side of town, but I’m willing to drive for great donuts.

Nice clean place. Guys working there were fast, courteous and the donuts were great I’ll be back again

I first tried here served months ago. I was totally blown away at the size of the big Cimmion Rolls. I bought some to take home, my family all just said «WOW» when they saw them. I showed my Mom and she said the same thing. She took some to Houston to visit my Brother and his family and they all said «WOW», my nephew asked what every one else was eating. First my son in law saw them and his jaw hit the floor. These are not the bakery style rolls, but the kind you find at any doughnut shop, just a lot bigger. (They do have smaller ones too)
They also have white iced cake dounghts like what Dunkin Donuts used to serve but changed and now I just get them here.
I’m happy I can pass by on my way to work and as I start at 7:00am I can get a good selection.

Love the kolaches here!!! They are huge and very tasty! The are made fresh daily just like all of their donuts. The owners are very nice and the place is so cozy! If you are in the area do yourself a favor and stop in for some morning goodness!

Cool little donut shop in the medical center. I like the hours, open and close early. Donuts are really good and bad fresh daily. Kolaches are better than most places in town.

Marty is the sweetest and everything I’ve tried has been delicious. Donuts are baked fresh daily, so you know they’re going to be soft with a slight crisp and full flavor.
They’re only open till noon, so make sure you go early.

Went in at 6am to pick up donuts. Went here because they are just across the street from work. I guess I should have asked for hot donuts, or at least from the morning. Will not return to this donut place, shouldn’t have to ask for fresh donuts, when paying regular price.

Their kolaches are GREATNESS! What are donuts? I come here for the kolaches. Service is great, friendly staff and the kolaches never disappoint. Possibly the best ones in town.

Hands down the best donuts I have ever had. Very nice staff every time I come in. Prices may be higher than others but worth it. We eat here and it has a very back woods feel in the middle of town. It’s a must. Go. Enjoy.

Very delicious donuts! Definitely homemade and fresh. Many options and the kolaches are awesome! My only tick is that prices are a bit high but then again the quality is high.

Their hours are kind of unusual but their donuts are heavenly. You really need to go before 8 AM and try a little bit of everything when it’s hot. The plain glazed are so good and so are the chocolate sour cream! What’s really too much to handle are the kolaches. They’re heavy and you might need a nap afterwards, but there’s really nothing like it. GIVE IT A TRY!

The donuts are good but the kolaches are better.

I remember coming here as a child.
Their kolaches were the beez kneez.
Spicy Sausage with melty gooey American Cheese wrapped in a soft bread.
It was nice treat every now and then.
I went back recently just had a urge for it.
For one thing it did not look the same nor Taste.
I bought 2 kolaches
— First bite was ALL bread had to rip more off
— Second bite sausage burst and ooze hot oil on my hands and lips
Hardly any cheese taste.
The Sausage tasted and looked more like a hot dog and most likely was.
Cheese looked just like a Craft Cheese slice then when you look closer to a sausage.
The cheese was like yellow slime really left a film coating feeling in my mouth.
Lastly Bread was too chewy.
I don’t know what happened to the place.
Even the kolaches themselves were smaller than I remember.
I can only assume they changed ingredients or not the same baker as before.

Pros: Great donuts, great selection, great service
Cons: I wish they were open longer hours!
Daylight Donuts, originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, has become so successful that they have locations in 27 states. Daylight is a direct competitior with Dunkin’ Donuts, Krispy Kreme Donuts, Shipley’s Donuts, and the local River City Donuts (though River City is locally-​owned, I am not a fan of their product). Daylight does so well, in fact, that it is better than Krispy Kreme, Shipley’s, and River City and on par with Dunkin’.
Make sure to try the blueberry cake and coffee cake donuts. They are as close to heaven as anyone can get. I have liked pretty much every Daylight donut I have tried. They also have kolaches, donut holes, cinnamon rolls, bear claws, eclairs, fritters… you know, the usual suspects. They also sale coffee and bottled juices and milk. The prices here are a little bit higher than you would pay at River City or Shipley’s, but the product is better.
I wish that they would extend their hours a little bit so that I could enjoy their baked/​fried treats in the early afternoon on occasion. But, alas, they close at noon, and probably for good reason: they make just enough product to ensure that all items are sold and that all items are at optimum freshness. After all, nobody likes a stale donut!
Daylight is conveniently located in the Medical Center on Fredericksburg Road. Try it out. Walk in one morning, waft in the sugary air, and indulge yourself. Just don’t give yourself a belly ache by overloading on donuts like I have!

I never had the pleasure of walking in DD to purchase donuts or even to smell the deliciousness of the freshly baked goods. However a really good colleague of mine at work brought a couple of dozen from here to share with the entire crew. First one I got was the blueberry cake donut. Pure awesomeness! It’s like a blueberry muffin and a cake donut’s DNAs were intertwined in some sort of machine from the 1986 sci-​fi classic The Fly and produced it. Chocolate glazed was alright, regular glazed was better than the soft sugarbombs from Krispy Kreme but one step below the ones from HEB bakery. I also liked the cake donut. The maple crunch donut was impressive but filling. For a little chain donut place based from Tulsa, OK, Daylight is a huge step up from the assembly line, genetically engineered «perfect» donuts like Krispy Kreme.

Grabbed breakfast here with the boyfriend this morning. I’ve been in San Marcos for the past two weeks for work and got addicted to kolaches at an amazing place out there (Dos Gatos) and wanted to see if any closer to home compared. Boy has lived in this area for a few months and immediately knew a place to try.
Walking in, this place is cute and sunny and looks like someone’s home kitchen. Giant display case of sugary donuts, which are not my thing at all, but there was a free plate of donut holes for sampling– I tried one and it was tasty, but I’m not a sweets person and definitely don’t like sugar in the morning. Regardless, they’re priced at $ 1.50/dozen, so I may need to keep that in mind for future early-​morning staff meetings.
Anyway. Boy got a chocolate donut and inhaled it while we waited for the kolaches to come out. He ordered a selection for us and his roommates, totalling a little under $ 20, admitting that he went overboard. Seemed like $ 2.50/ea was a little pricey to me, but who knows.
Once we got home, we each grabbed one and bit in. Mine was ham and swiss and though that is totally NOT what I think of when I think of kolaches, I am a huge cheese freak, and this one was melting and gushing and fabulous. I ate half and gave the rest to bf, then picked at his sausage/​cheese/​jalapeño, which seemed low on cheese in comparison to the ham one. Noticed this as a trend for all of the other flavors, actually. Picked at another half of a kolache that was just sausage and cheese, and don’t get me wrong, they were tasty, but not amazing. The ham and cheese should not have been my favorite, but I can’t really figure out what I didn’t like about the others, other than lack of cheese. The sausage just wasn’t that great, but I’m not a big sausage fan in general to know what was different. Sorry if that isn’t helpful, guys!
TLDR: Just a review of the kolaches, not the donuts.
All in all, this place is nice and definitely has huge donut selection, but their kolaches are overpriced for a product that is just okay. If you do go though, def try the ham and cheese, even if that seems a little ridiculous at first.
