I'm a sucker for donuts. I love the soft, chewy, yeast-y bliss of a freshly baked donut. I'm from Chicago, and I grew up with Dunkin' Donuts. Then Krispy Kreme hit Chicago and I fell in love with their original glazed (hot off the conveyor...belt, it's still pretty heavenly) and their raspberry-filled. But then I moved to San Antonio and I discovered Shipley and they rocked my world. As always, freshness is key, but a fresh donut from Shipley was just about my most-favorite thing in the world. This year, I finally decided to give a little hole-in-the-wall place up in Boerne a try--Snowflake Donuts. After just ONE visit, this unassuming donut shop owned my refined sugar allegiance. Why? * The donuts are flippin' amazing. You offer me a choice of a fresh Snowflake donut or a fresh Shipley or Krispy Kreme donut and I'll pick Snowflake 9 times out of 10. (Sometimes I really just crave a hot KK donut, ok?) * The staff is the sweetest bunch of people around. Down to earth, patient, and just...kind. That sort of thing goes a LONG way with me. * And omg, they have MAPLE BARS! What's a maple bar? It's a long-john donut with maple icing on top and it's been SO hard to find in the San Antonio area! KK doesn't have it and I'm pretty sure Shipley doesn't either. (Tip: They'll even fill the maple bar with some filling if you want. I don't, but you might like it!) * Snowflake has a deep bench. I can't decide which is my favorite donut--the basic glazed, the chocolate glazed, the maple bar, the maple iced with BACON (!!!), or one of the donuts with fruit-flavor icing. Snowflake also has other delicious baked goods--apple fritters, donut holes, and more. They also have kolaches, but I'm part polish and I've had real, authentic polish-style kolaches--these bread-wrapped sausage things still strike me as abominations. I'm sincere when I tell you that I have to use considerable will-power to limit my visits to Snowflake Donuts to just once a week. It's that good.More

The doughnuts were dried up 1 hour after picking them up, I was so embarrassed to serve them. They knew our pick up time, and when we would be serving them, there was just no excuse, what we got tasted like day old doughnuts, but...they were what we ordered sans the staleness. I feel like if you are doing a special order they ought to be fresh. Also they were on the small side. I would not recommend getting a special order to go.More

These are the very best, they are so good that if you don't get there early, you better call and have what you want saved for you. The Cin/glazed twist are GREAT!

Early morning fresh out of the grease donuts. Doesn’t get much better than that. The ladies that run it are adorable. My wife likes the donut holes.

Delicious donuts made on site and friendly, helpful employees. I didn't have the coffee but if I lived nearby I could imagine dropping in frequently to have a donut and coffee in the morning. They also have "kolaches" which are not sweet but look like...savory snacks, maybe sandwich substitutes to grab on the go. Not a fancy place and without a lot of choices but what they do, they do well.More

Took a cold Motorcycle ride sat. morning at 34 degrees to meet my brother and other vets at the Snowflake donut shop in Bandera for Breakfast and those famous Hot Cinnamon rolls. We had to wait a while but that place is crazy busy which...means its usually good. Well that is the case, had coffee and visits w/ all the local crowd till the hot rolls came out. This is a great place but limited seating presents a lot of folks from sitting down to eat, its mostly a take out place but there are 4 of 5 small tables usually for waiting for the hot rolls or sitting down to eat donuts and other hot pastries.More

The staff here are super friendly and helpful. The baked goods are delicious or in the words of my daughter "amazing".
