Max’s Donut Shop

These donuts are MAGICAL! Our family have been faithful customers for 18 years. Another favorite for us are what we call «Little Smokies». You can not compare Max’s Donuts to any other donut shop. Hands down Max’s is THE BEST!!!

We love this donut shop. The prices are super and the taste is fresh. We’ve never had stomachaches from eating donuts from Max’s, unlike other donut shops. We’ve eaten here and taken our order to go.

Amazing donuts. I got here when they were about to close; do they only had glazed, chocolate, and donut holes left. I got all 3. The dough is amazing. It’s slightly sweetened (the dough itself). The best part is… They have it on a heated surface. So you get everything warm which makes it 100x better! I will definitely go back to try all the other flavors they offer!

Awesome! Huge and delicous, We drive out of our way to eat these. If there’s a line, it will move fast. We love chocolate glaze, glazed, cinnimon rolls and sausage rolls.

Great little donut shop down the road from my house in Allen. My dad recommended it to me after he heard about it from work. This has been our go-​to donut shop ever since. Definitely recommend going between 7−8am while the lines are shorter and before they run out.
The chocolate donuts and donut holes are to die for! The chocolate donuts taste like they are glazed donuts with an extra layer of chocolate icing… my mouth is watering as I type this. My step mom gets the cinnamon roll and seems to like it (HUGE ASS PASTRY.) The donuts are always very affordable.
Definitely a local favorite in this area! I just started training for a half marathon so these are still my cheat meal favs! Allen may not have that many places to eat that are extraordinary but this place would be one to visit if you are anywhere nearby. Kolaches are really good as well. The earlier you get them the warmer they will be.

Tried the cinnamon roll for the first time. SERIOUSLY. AMAZING! And bigger than my hand!

Best donuts in Allen. Not a boutique donut shop. Always fresh and delicious! Come very early or late. Be prepared to wait in a long line upon arrival. It’s worth it because the donuts are delicious!

I’ve been coming here my whole life literally. It’s the best place ever. The donuts have no comparison to any others and I will wait any day in any of their lines.

Best donuts so far in Dallas. Melts in your mouth. The glazed is my favorite. The original cake is a tad bit sweet for my taste. Sufficiently sized. Go early in the weekend or you’ll be waiting in a a long winded line.

Max’s… Oh, Max’s. This place has the best donuts of any shop, local or far, that I’ve ever had. Light, fluffy, melt in your mouth. I think the original glazed are the best, but everything I’ve tried has been amazing. Anyone who has been in the Allen area for a while knows this is the place to go!
Heads up, though! The line can be long and there is limited seating. Also, the owner isn’t the friendliest gal on the block, but the regular employees are happy enough. Your wait time isn’t too bad, as they really get the line moving quickly.

I was craving for donuts so I found Max’s Donut Shop on Unilocal which was highly rated. I ordered a bunch of donuts to try. My favorite are the Glazed Donuts which were big, fluffy and fresh. As for the other donuts, they were too sweet for my taste since it had frosting and filling on top of the sugary glaze. My taste buds can only handle a limited amount of sweetness. I will come back for the glazed donuts.
BTW, you can find a line out the door on the weekends so this place is a hit among locals.

The best doughnut place in Dallas. Delicious unhealthy gooey goodness served by awesome people!

These are the best donuts I’ve had in my life! Duncan Donuts and Krispy Cream can’t even compare! However, they WILL run out early. We arrived around 10am one Saturday and the line was out the door and down the sidewalk. They were selling the donuts as they were still making them and after about a 30 minute wait… our donuts were still warm and dripping with warm frosting. They pulled apart as we picked them up out of the box! Seriously, the best donuts ever.

I must say this is one of cleanest donut shop and it smell so good walking in. The donuts are nice and warm and goes down with a halalujiah thank u Jesus dance

I’ve been eating Max’s donuts since 2005. They are the best donuts. They are fresh, warm, and just sweet enough.
(But come early, the best donuts are the batch!)
I have moved out of Allen, Tx but often return just for the famous donuts.
I recommend this place to everyone.

These are the fluffiest doughnuts ever! Picked up several since the kids are in town. They came at those doughnuts like true savages! They were delicious. Highly recommend the eclairs. It’s all nice and sweet.
It just might put you in a sugar coma! Enjoy!

I decided to check out Max’s Donut Shop after reading a review from a Unilocal friend, Dave W. I headed over around 10:30 on a Saturday morning. The parking lot was jumping and apparently everyone was there for a Max’s donut! Inside, the line wrapped around the inner perimeter of the entire shop, and I placed myself at the end. I’m not joking, there were at least 20 – 25 people in front of me! The line moved pretty quickly, I ended up waiting maybe 8 – 10 minutes. I figured with that many people waiting for donuts, there’s got to be something to it! I grabbed a milk from the fridge (and also noted the big blocks of cheese in there. maybe it’s also used for storage?) and was getting nervous the donuts I wanted would be gone by the time I got to order. I did see them add more donuts while waiting, so they are still making donuts at that time to keep customers happy.
When it was my turn, I ordered two maple bars (my favorite) and a bowtie which was a twist with cinnamon and sugar. Prices seemed comparable to other donut shops. Once I got a good look at my donuts in the car, the maple bars seemed like giants! Way larger than a normal donut shop’s maple bars. They also looked less uniform and more handmade, which I liked. The maple glaze was so creamy and had just the right maple flavor. The donut itself was flaky and slightly chewy, so so good! I did not care for the bowtie, but that’s just my preference, I’m sure it’s a perfectly fine donut. I will probably be back, but I’ll try to find a time when it’s less packed!
Edit: Came back on a Monday morning and at 9:30 a.m., very few donuts left. With 2 and a half hours before closing, that’s just not acceptable in my book. Had to leave without any donuts because what was left were the donuts nobody wants.

Small donut shop that is EXTREMELY busy, and for good reason, they have great donuts! We got there around 10:30 and there was a line almost out the door. Everyone was ordering a dozen donuts or more, my wife and I just wanted a couple for breakfast.
I got chocolate with sprinkles, my favorite, and these donuts are the kind where they glaze them and then put the chocolate on, so it was extra sugary. It was almost too much for me, I was starting to get a sugar headache after just two. My wife couldn’t finish her single order of donut holes.
They also had some good pigs in a blanket, called smokeys, with cheese and beef sausage.
It was pretty good, the donuts are just too dang sugary for me. Probably would be a 5 star place for most anyone else who doesn’t mind the sugar :).

Co-​worker brought these in with the tag line in his email (best ever) donuts by my desk. Not really a donut guy, because I try to eat healthy (er), but with that hype I figured one bite and I’d inconspicuously throw away the lard filled goo after I confirmed how they taste like ewwww (just like every other donut I’ve tried in my life).
But no. These freaking things are literally the best donut I’ve ever tasted, maybe one of the best dessert type things as well. They are light with almost a pastry like croissant quality to them. I didn’t want to know where they were from.
Literally after the first bite I was mesmerized. I’ve never had a donut even close to this. I’m from the northeast originally, and have lived in 15 states, and had business in 30+ (lots of obligatory «best ever» donuts for morning meetings), so suffice to say, I have tried my share.
I’ve always been in search for the one that actually one that tasted good and did more than satisfy the morning after craving g for fat and sugar. I not only found one that tastes good, but holy freaking cow amazingly good.
Darn you Max’s for creating this yumminess. Why doesn’t Kale taste like this?
I’m not sure I ever want to visit this place, because I’m afraid I’ll look like Violet and the umpaloompahs will have to wheel me out.
I’ll say this one final time… wow.

People rant and rave about Max’s Donut Shop, I’m thinking. WHATEVER, it’s a Donut. Well, I may have been wrong. The donuts here are freaking yummy, like abnormal yummy, like «how did you do this» yummy. I’ve been twice and I’m just now leaving my review, but I gotta say, they make a good donut and they treat the customers well. Every time I go, it’s usually a weekend and there is a long line. The employees get through the line fast and always seem to have a smile. Even when there’s a spill or a loud kid crushing donuts on the floor, the attitudes are great.
LET THE DONUTS BEGIN!
I’ll drive across town for this place, they are THAT GOOD.
