Christy's Doughnut

I believe I got food poisoning here from a sausage kolache on 9-12-10. I have only been here this one time, so I can't speak beyond this experience. But I wanted to let people know. more

I've heard a number of good things about Christy's for a while now. A lot of people have told me that they drive over there just to have their donuts (or is it doughnut?) weekly. I live right down the street from a decent Shipley's so until last weekend I hadn't ventured over to Christy's. I convinced my kids to go with me to get donuts (which took about 1 second) and we jumped in the car and headed there. The kids of course loved their chocolate donuts with sprinkles and devoured them. I was pleased but not amazed. Everything tasted as it should but nothing that made me say ""wow."" I sampled the Old Fashioned Buttermilk donut (always my fav) and an Apple Fritter. I will say that the fried pastries were not overly sweet, which is a very good thing. I didn't feel like my teeth were crumbling out of my mouth with each bite. Awesome. Pros: Not tooth piercing sweet Cons: Robots work there. more

I love Christy's! Best donut holes. They have consistently taken my debit card. Maybe there is a minimum. The breakfast croissants with egg, cheese and bacon or sausage are great! (aka Krusty burgers). The staff is friendly and you always get a few extras for free. Pros: great donuts, great staff, neighborhood feel Cons: not open 24 hours more

I'll keep it short and simple. The best doughnuts I've had in years!! Friendly service counts a lot with me. I highly recommend this place. Pros: Great fresh doughnuts made just right. Cons: Cash only. more

I just went to Christy's Donuts on Montrose, and I wasn't impressed. First, they only take cash, which was a problem for me. I had to go to a grocery store to get some cash to pay for the donuts. Second, their donuts aren't that great. They taste exactly like Shipley Donuts, and are about the same price and further away from where I live. I even have a Shipley Donuts right down the street. The other reviews on CitySearch convinced me to go there, but those other reviews do not describe the place at all. Pros: Donuts that taste just like Shipley. Cons: Cash only. more

This is my favorite donut place anywhere, and it happens to be two blocks from me!! The only drawback is that it takes cash only, but that's just part of the charm. The cake donuts are simply amazing, especially the powdered and the blueberry. The service is prompt and friendly. They never get your order wrong, and if you order a bunch, they'll stick in a couple freebies! Two thumbs up!!! Pros: Great product, good value, convenient location and parking lot Cons: Cash only, really busy saturday mornings more

This small donut shop has some of the best donuts in Houston. They're always fresh and delicious. It's nearly impossible to only eat one! more

Once a month, our account rep. brings donuts from Christy's. He brings a full box of each: Pros: Great Breakfast on a Budget, Variety, People Cons: NOTHING more

On Wednesday, 06/21/2006, we stopped by Christy's for sausage jalapeno & cheese kolaches and glazed doughnuts. They tasted fantastic! Most places we've been to either had doughnuts that were too sweet and/or kolaches that were 90% bread and 10% continents. Christy's is kinda far for us but worth the drive...despite the gas prices!! Pros: Definitely Thumbs Up!!! Cons: Additional Locations are Necessary! more

I have been a long time and loyal patron of Christy's. Christy's is very consistent- fresh and delicious. The donuts are not overly sweet like some donuts are known to be. The kolaches are outstanding. Christy's has a wide variety to choose from and the value cannot be beat! I would recommend Christy's to anyone. They have a nice staff and Christy's Donuts lives up to a great reputation. Pros: Value, Freshness, Prompt Service Cons: Variety more
