Are these donut shops ranked?

No. Every shop here is one we would happily send a friend to, so we list them by neighborhood instead of ranking them.

Where can I find churros and mochi donuts in Austin?

For churros, try Churro Co. on South First, San Ginés on South Lamar and the churros at Torchy's Tacos on South Congress. For chewy mochi donuts, head to OMG Squee in East Austin or Mochinut in North Central Austin.

Can I try several of these on one tour?

Yes. Our Austin tour visits The Salty Donut, Torchy's Tacos, Jo's Coffee and Gelato Paradiso, all on South Congress. Lineups can vary by day and season.
