Texas gives the world many great things, but a blueberry cake doughnut might be the best, and Southern Maid Donut is one place to get it in our neighborhood.

This locally owned franchise opened about 10 years ago in a renovated tire shop. Not only is it a convenient drive-through on the way to Interstate 30, it’s also cute, with public art and pleasant landscaping.

Southern Maid serves all of the typical doughnut shop fare, including sausage rolls in two sizes and Community coffee. A mid-morning visit likely will find old-timers lingering over their coffee in the booths. There’s also a covered patio.

A mixed dozen of “fancy” doughnuts costs $7, and a dozen of the blueberry costs $8. That’s one way to make 12 people happy for under $10.

Southern Maid, which also has a location at Wynnewood Village, serves croissant sandwiches that cost about $3.50 each, as well as $2 breakfast tacos.
