A great place to pick up donuts and kolaches in Houston. This is a fixture in Houston. It has been around for many years. It is a small one-story building with a small parking lot that is often full. The interior is dated with a few tables for people to sit and eat inside. Now, what this location may lack in parking and decor it definitely makes up for in the food that it makes and sells. The kolaches and donuts are excellent and reasonably priced. We visited just last week to pick up food for an event and I am glad that we did. Parking was a challenge but as we entered there was a line. I think I have always seen a line when I visited. Do not be discouraged. The line moves quickly as it did when we visited. You order at the counter which is a display case full of their various offerings. It looks like 4 or 5 rows of deliciousness. We ordered and picked up 2 boxes of donuts and kolaches. The staff was very efficient and nice and the prices were reasonable since each of the kolaches are a meal in themselves. Overall, this is a great place to pick up some food if you want a delicious start to your day.

This place is such an awesome donut shop. I stopped by after my night shift downtown and was surprised by how inexpensive it was. I had an apple fritter, which was amazing.

I've been eating here for 20 years and it's still my favorite doughnuts in Houston! I love the little touch of throwing a few doughnut holes in every bag! The apple fritters really hit the spot! High quality and consistency has always been important to their product! You can taste it!

Lived in this neighborhood for the last 15 years.. Never went in this place until a week ago.. I was impressed!!! Priced right!! The best Apple fritters !!! YUM!!

The best donut shop in Houston. Honestly I can't tell why this place doesn't get talked about more often, and sometimes I'm grateful it isn't. They can definitely get busy, but they aren't city wide famous for some reason, so you can still get a parking spot. This is a Montrose institution as far I'm concerned, I've been going here since my days at UST. The building has never changed, and the quality has always been great. The plain glazed donut here is the only thing I've had that's better than a Shipley's plain glazed. Served hot and super fluffy, they basically just melt in your mouth when you get one fresh. The kolaches and other savory breakfast options here don't miss either, no mystery meat sausages or premade plastic wrap breakfast tacos. Every style of donut here is my fave compared to other neighborhood spots. Worth a trip into town for sure!

Solid kolache spot that's been in its location for a while and surviving in an area of high gentrification. Old school and located on West Gray and Montrose, Christy's has a small parking lot and a very small building that sells some tasty donuts and kolaches. The donuts remind me of Shipley's and the kolaches are decent as well. They're missing a high quality jalapeño cheese kolache with a decent sausage but it's still better than most of the other kolache spots in the area. There is some interior seating but we got ours to go like most other patrons.

Stopped by to grab early breakfast to-go for a road trip. This mom and pop shop is located in Montrose area and have a private lot. Got the jalapeños sausage&cheese kolaches and half a dozen glazed donuts. Turns out I've had Christy's many times through out the years in the office, and didn't realize since their boxes do not have logo or name. Tasted even better when freshly made! Kolache tasted fresh, the flavor and texture were good (much better than places with similar price point such as Shipley's and kolache shop, but not quite there yet compare to places with a higher price such as kolache Shoppe). The fresh glazed donuts are still warm and tasted like how a classic glazed donut should be, they also throw in couple free donut holes in the box! Will definitely come back again.

I love me a mom and pop donut shop (wow, I was practically a poet there...nah, not). When you walk in, you know this place has been around for decades, and that's a good thing. The decor is like "Dairy Queen salvaged", circa 1985, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It makes you feel like your favorite childhood place is still around in the neighborhood. The sleeper here (take this as a pro tip) is the boudin kolache. If you haven't had boudin for breakfast, LoL yourself an AirBnB I Lafayette, LA now and thank me later. The boudin kolache here is a fantastic. Yes, if you're on a Keto diet, this is a "carb on carb" crime, but get it anyway. My next favorite pleasure is the jumbo sausage and cheese kolache. Yes, it's a mass produced frankfurter in there, but I don't care. Nestled in their supple kolache dough, pigs never looked so happy in their blankets. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, and much prefer a savory brekkie. Yet, I still sneak some donut holes or a cake donut or two now and again. Service is always friendly, and love having this spot around.

Christy's has been in Montrose forever. In simple terms, they're a no frills mom and pop donut/kolache shop. The donuts and kolaches are all pretty good. Service is also fast and friendly. Parking can be challenging at times, but most people grab and go so just wait a little bit and you'll get a spot. It's nice to have a no frills shop among all these new and fancy places popping up around the neighborhood. Definitely check this place out.

Wow really cute mom and pop shop with tasty kolaches and lotsa donuts. There's an entrance on the side with an exit on the opposite side plus seating area. The kolaches aren't labeled so point and ask. Friendly service and ours got warmed up. Good prices and most people are regulars so staff greet them by name. We liked the croissant kolaches and the bigger sausage ones especially the spicy one. Shop local, buy local, and enjoy here!! Highly recommended when you are needing your carb fix!
