The Best Donut Shops In The Lone Star State

Nothing says “Good morning,” better than a warm donut… or two… or five. Whether you’re an occasional donut eater, or if you’re a donut connoisseur like me, these places are a must-go.

Voodoo Doughnuts -- 212 E 6th Street Austin, Texas

A donut shop that's open 24 hours? Count me in. Voodoo Doughnut Shop is conveniently located on 6th street in Austin. So after a late night bar crawl, you can grab yourself a warm, delicious doughnut, covered in cereal, candy, or even bacon. With over fifty different donuts to choose from, this is a stop every donut lover must make.

The Grove Do-Nutz & Deli -- 815 Plantation Dr Ste 300 Richmond, TX 77406

You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy a minion donut and that’s pretty much the same thing. At the Grove Do-Nutz & Deli you can! In a town not far from Houston, you can feast on not only a minion-faced Twinkie stuffed in the center of a donut, but also a pizza donut, a rainbow donut, and even a Texas sized donut. This place is a must-try.

Gourdough's -- 1503 S 1st St., Austin, TX 78704

Whoever invented a donut truck is my new best friend. What better way to explore Austin than stopping for a quick donut on your way? From options like the "Rattlesnake" with Oreos, fudge icing, and a gummy rattlesnake -- to the "Mother Clucker" with a fried chicken strip covered in honey butter -- there are mouth watering options for everyone at Gourdough's. Even the picky eater, (you know who you are) can customize their donut by choosing their icing, filling, and toppings. I know where I’m stopping next time I’m in Austin.

Jarams Donuts -- 17459 Preston Rd Dallas, TX 75252

OK, but what’s a better way to say “Happy Birthday” than a donut? At Jarams, not only do they personalize any donut, but they also have some pretty darn cute ones that are almost too cute to eat -- almost. With fan favorites being the "Crème Brulee" donut, and their festive seasonal donuts, this place is sure to brighten your morning.

Kai’s doughnut Co. -- 4201 Wellborn Road Bryan, TX 77801

Every Texas Aggie, or Blinn Buccaneer, in town knows Kai's doughnut's is where you get your donut grub on. From their adorable Cookie Monster donuts, to their Nutella filled donut holes, every customer leaves with a full stomach ready to take on finals or their next Netflix binge. Whether you live in College Station, or are visiting, this place should be your hangover fix.

River Oaks Donuts -- 3601 Westheimer Rd Houston, TX 77027

Can’t decide between cereal or donuts in the morning? Why not have both? At River Oaks Donuts, each customer can get their favorite cereal on top of their favorite kind of donut. I'll take a trip to Houston for a fruit loop donut any day, y’all.

Round Rock Donuts -- 106 W Liberty Round Rock, TX 78664

Round Rock Donuts definitely fits the motto “everything is bigger in Texas” with its Texas sized glazed donuts. This shop offers traditional donuts and kolaches as well. Next time you’re in the area, stop at Round Rock donuts, and bring your appetite.

Christy’s Donuts -- 1103 W Gray St, Houston, TX 77019

While Christy's Donuts doesn’t have the extravagant toppings, this place does provide good ol’ fashioned donuts that we all know and love -- along with prices that you will love as well. This independently owned shop also has the sweetest workers. Next time you’re visiting Houston, stop in -- who doesn’t love nice people and donuts?

Hypnotic Donuts -- W Hickory St Denton, TX 76201

If you live North of Dallas, then you know and love Hypnotic Donuts. With flavors like "Expresso Yo Self," a chocolate cake donut made with coffee icing, salted caramel, and fresh ground coffee -- to winning the best glazed donut in Dallas (according to D Magazine) -- you’re sure to be a “hyppie” after trying these amazing donuts.

Krispy Kreme Locations Throughout Texas

I know, I know, it’s totally #mainstream, but a place serving up hot, fresh, donuts that are crave worthy is always a top pick in my book, y’all. Krispy Kreme's glazed donuts are to die for. They give you a free paper hat, and if they have a long line, they usually will hand you some free donuts while you wait. Hey, if ya got donuts and are handing out free stuff, I’m there.

The Original Donut Shop & Tacos -- 3307 Fredericksburg Road San Antonio, Texas, 78201

A place with amazing donuts, and the area’s best breakfast tacos? It must be heaven, right? Close! It’s the Original Donut Shop & Tacos! Whether you want a mouth watering donut, an awesome breakfast taco, or both, you won’t be disappointed!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
