This place was cute and had good doughnuts even though we didn't pop in until after 9pm!

Downtown Austin Texas, Voodoo Doughnut is a great experience and one of the most memorable doughnuts. Vibrant location, great selection of doughnuts.

Knocking off a star because of the location, but otherwise a great donut spot! I'm someone who does not like sweets. But, I love an apple cider donut, and Voodoo's cinnamon sugar donut is pretty similar (just no apple cider flavor, of course)! Always hits the spot. There is only ever 1-2 employees working outside of the kitchen (not sure about in the kitchen, because you can see inside too much), and they are always friendly! Nevertheless, this spot is only convenient if you are traveling through town and feel brave enough to go to 6th, or if you are an undergrad already going out on dirty 6th street. And when I say dirty, I mean literally very very dirty. Think rats, feces, and vomit. Sadly, when I went to Voodoo this weekend (my friends and I were walking through downtown Austin for some F1 events, so we were in the area) there was a massive splash of vomit right outside the doors of Voodoo. Mind you, this was at maybe 4pm.

Yum yummy for our tummy. We stopped in here at 1am and the donuts still looked fresh. We decided to grab breakfast for the next morning and sweet treat for a night cap. Venue was nicely decorated. Plenty of Voodoo Swag and coffee to purchase. This is only my second time at Voodoo and I have been meaning to try the new one in West Loop (Chicago). Big selection even at 1am. We opted to share the Tart donut before bed, which taste like a strawberry pop tart. So good. For breakfast my husband got a fancy donut and I just got the chocolate glaze, which he said is boring but I like simplicity with my coffee. Good experience here minus the person strung out drugs laying in the middle of the street. I would say this location is not for kiddos as there was giant penis donut (Austin Pride) and heavy drug users right out side the door.

the place is super cute !! I love the decor and the pink everywhere. I felt quite bad because there was only one girl working and she was working up a sweaaaat but she was lovely and efficient :) $14 for 4 donuts + tip is not a bad deal! We got the diablos rex, chocolate coconut, maple glaze, raised glaze & homers. My partner said the latter three were incredible, and I loved the two chocolate ones! It was a litttle dry but nothing to complain about. Great experience :)

I gotta admit, I love sweets but since my metabolism doesn't agree with my age I stay away from them as much as possible. However, when I lived in Kansas City back in 2017 I remember watching some food/travel network show and this place from Seattle called Voodoo Donuts was featured. I thought to myself, boy that's one cool place and I'd love to see it, but I'm not traveling cross country for a donut; after all, I'm not Homer Simpson. Fast forward to 2024 and living in Austin, which now has a Voodoo Donuts, I decided I have a few calories to spare so I'm gonna spike my sugar levels to a near death experience, of which only "voodoo" can bring me back. Located in a relatively safe part of town on Pecan St, I found parking at 9pm on Friday was fairly easy. That said I've been anticipating my trip for some time so I brought my hunger and sweet tooth through the hallowed doors. The ambiance is low key almost as if everything was thrown together with the last pennies from the owners' pants pockets, yet it works. Chandeliers of brass next to one's created from tree branches, an American flag of lights, brick walls of mismatched colors and basic tables with yard sale chairs. Yet I felt comfortable. The menus are hard to see but they have cases of donuts with cards so crisis averted! Actually I'm a sociable person so I wanted to strike up a conversation anyways. The cashier was knowledgeable and simply a joy to talk to as she was enthusiastic about her product and my presence. With all the fun and interesting combinations, the coffee needs a series upgrade to compliment the rest of the food. My coffee was the most boring part of my visit and honestly my home coffee is better. After you get the coffee, you have a couple creamers and some sweeteners for self-serve. No crazy lattes or mochas here just the most basic brown caffeinated liquid is offered. Ok, enough of the supporting cast lets get into the A list stars of this show. My first donut was the maple old fashioned. A great little concoction of cake dough with a strong maple frosting. Next was their flagship pastry the "Voodoo Doll." This is a BIG tour de sugar force and is a meal in and of itself. Tons of chocolate icing hides the seed-free raspberry jelly filled figure that looks like Beetlejuice on a bad day with a pretzel through his evil heart. It's really good but I literally felt sleepy after eating it with all the sugar coursing through my veins. The Strawberry Go-Tart is an interesting creation trying to simulate a pop-tart and while it didn't nail the flavor exactly it's a darn tasty pastry. The Homer is a normal donut dipped in strawberry frosting and sprinkles on it, ala what Homer Simpson eats. It was decent but not exactly memorable. I saved my favorite for last, the Portland Cream. This is another one of those HUGE undertakings as I tried to eat it after the voodoo. It's a great big yeast beast stuffed with a wonderful Bavarian cream that will make you slap your mommy and thank your dog. I'm a prisoner of what I like so this was my favorite, bar none. Overall, I don't think you can go wrong at Voodoo and I didn't even scratch the surface of many of their offerings. Once my kids see I went, I'm sure they'll want to come with me and get anything with bacon on it (I'm not big on swine). While I was disappointed with the coffee I think of it like going to a Metallica concert and complaining about the opening act. The food ROCKS. So go to the gym often and save room for thousands of calories of tasty goodness. MMMMM... Donuts... ahhh....
