The word on Grand Donuts (Hero Way)
Here's the word going around
I haven't joined the dawn line here yet, so this is the regulars' read, not mine.

By most accounts the donuts here are the freshest people have had in ages, and the crew makes it better than the sugar does: young women working the counter in harmony, welcoming and quick, the kind of genuine cheer you rarely catch at 7am. The place reads clean, with a few booths, a drink cooler, and a full lineup, donuts, kolaches, breakfast tacos, even kid-themed donuts now, a longtime Leander go-to that earns the loyalty. One thing keeps it honest: the pricing has traps. Reviewers flag a service charge on orders under $5, so a single donut costs extra, and filled or festive donuts run higher without a heads-up until you're paying. Order a proper haul to clear the minimum and you'll leave happy.
Fresh donuts and a counter crew working in harmony? I'll happily clear that under-$5 minimum.
The Order
Reviewers say order a mixed dozen with a couple kolaches and a breakfast taco, enough to clear the under-$5 fee.
⚠ Gotcha
There's a service charge on orders under $5, and filled or festive donuts cost extra without being flagged, by several accounts. Order enough and ask prices upfront.
That's the word on this one.
