People Are Going Crazy Over The Handmade Donuts At This Small Texas Shop
If you’ve been searching for the best donuts in Texas, you’ll find them hiding in plain sight in the Capital City. Lola’s Donuts in Austin offers handcrafted, gourmet donuts that are elevated even further with both brioche and cruller options on the menu. Your sweet tooth will be in heaven!
If you're in the mood for basic donuts, you may want to look elsewhere - but for those in search of a truly life-changing donut experience, Lola's is the place to go.
This small Austin donut shop is easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. Locals, however, make a beeline for Manor Road every weekend and could probably find Lola's in their sleep. That's how good these donuts are!
What sets Lola's apart from other bakeries is their use of brioche and cruller donuts instead of the standard cake and yeasted donuts you'll find at chain shops.
Crullers are made with a special dough called pâte à choux, which is used to make pastries such as éclairs and cream puffs. With flaky edges and a moist interior, these beauties practically melt in your mouth.
Lola's is only open Friday-Sunday, and the menu changes regularly. Your best bet is to preorder on their website to guarantee you'll get exactly what you want, as they often sell out of certain flavors quickly.
You'll see gourmet offerings such as dark chocolate strawberry, maple cream, lemon lavender, brown butter sea salt, brownie, and more. Once you sink your teeth into a Lola's donut, you'll be back every weekend to get your fix.
Lola's also offers vegan, gluten-free cake donuts, donut holes, and even doggy donuts! You can also place a custom order for a special occasion by filling out the form on their website.
