Great food + great service! The croissant sandwich is huge! I got the sausage, egg, and cheese croissant and it was so good I ate half before remembering to take a picture. There’s a 4 plug outlet in case you need to work or study or charge your phone. It’s definitely a calm place to be especially compared to the other brunch/breakfast spots in Austin. Saving this place for my next visit to Austin. Next time I’ll try the breakfast tacos and coffee.

I enjoyed the donuts for years from the South Austin store, but it sadly closed. However, I was thrilled to see this one open and made the trek north. The donuts are superb, I highly recommend the chocolate honey dipped. Very friendly staff, I got an extra donut free because it was a slow morning.

We’ve been going to this place for years and I can’t recommend it enough. They have a drive through and everything tastes fresh for the same price as McDonalds. Check out one of the croissant sandwiches and you’ll definitely end up coming back. The potato eggs and cheese tacos with salsa are delicious!

Firstly, the coffee here is amazing.. its better than the coffee place next door. Everything I have tried is great here including the kolaches, breakfast tacos and breakfast croissants.Of course the donuts are also fantastic and weve tried almost every kind now. The woman that runs this place is also one of the nicest and friendliest people I have ever met.

A hole in the wall donut shop owned by a family who always greet their customers the right way. Their donuts are unique and are quite delicious.

Our favorite place for tacos and donuts. The staff is nice and friendly and goes above and beyond to make us happy.Tacos are the BEST and the salsa on the side is nectar from the gods.Muffins are big and delicious.Some of the best donuts in the biz.We live nearby and try to come here once a week. Highly recommend.

I actually came here to kill time and wanted to just drink a tea. I saw their plain glazed donut and said sure what the hell. Ill just eat a 🥗 for lunch (thats not how nutrition works but whatever).Its legit. For $1 that glazed donut is light and fluffy. It takes me back to my childhood. I prefer these donuts, due to their soft presence, to the Dunkins and the Krispy Kremes. I know that this is a Texas thing at least, but go to an Asian-owned donut shop while youre here. This one is as good as them, and they are all five stars.

Always a favorite of mine when visiting friends at the Folio apartments. The donuts are consistently great and the staff is friendly and personable. This is just a donut shop but there is definitely something extra special about River City that puts it a cut above the rest.

Always pleasant and helpful folks and their products are worthy!

Review №19

A lot of donut places are similar or basic, but I still love them. River City could technically fit that mold, as they dont go far outside the box (like the super expensive, trendy donut places). That said, between their consistently awesome donuts and their superior tacos, it has become our go to donut place.Bonus points - the drive thru is incredibly convenient, especially during COVID times, and they are always super quick and kind.

Review №27

So usually a donut place is just a donut place. But River City Donut is way better than that! We had kolaches, a croissant sandwich and donut holes and all of it was great. My sandwich was super dank and perfectly warmed. Also, their donut holes selection rolls 4-6 flavors deep, which is AWESOME! I havent had a blueberry cake donut hole in years and they absolutely hit the spot. You have to try them out!

This is the only place I will go to to purchase breakfast tacos because they taste like the ones my mother made. Theyre not greasy like in some restaurants, nor are they salty. The owners are such wonderful and nice people, which is why I am a repeat and loyal customer for like... 4 years now. Also their donuts and donut holes are super delicious! Especially the blueberry cake donuts.

Came from Dallas to Austin for a training that I had to do. Got there when it opened at 5am. They asked if I could wait for fresh hot ones that I wanted. I had the time and I absolutely loved the experience. Wish there was a River Side Donuts in Dallas. I have trainings pretty regular in Austin so I plan to keep going back for those fresh hot donuts!! ;)

I’ve had their food before, it’s quite good. 2 stars because the last couple of times I’ve went while they were supposed to be open, their open sign has been off. As well, the building looks empty, and there has been no response at the drive through.

I started eating here by chance, after meeting with a friend who lives in the area. Its a bit out of my way between dropping the kid off and work, but its well worth the detour; I stop there pretty much every morning. Their taco sauce is absolutely amazing, and their donuts are good too.

This is our weekly treat on Fridays. My kids love kolache day! They can usually tell me my order before I even open my mouth. Bacon, egg, and cheese croissants are the best!

Came here for a quicky breakfast on a Saturday I had to work. I came in around 10am, so it looked like a lot of their bfast sandwich selection was gone as I got the last of the bacon egg, cheese, croissants. I also got an americano and a choc donut w/sprinkles. Everything was just kinda OK. The Americano was not as strong as I would have liked and the sandwich was warmed in a micro, so it was not that great either and the donut was just so so, but everything for $6 wasn’t too bad either.I don’t know that I would go out of my way to come back here unless it is “close to work and need a bfast fix” situation again.
