“2025 UPDATE: Previously, I gave this place 2 stars in 2021. They've worked their way up to 3.5/3 75. They've mostly done away with those overly sweet novelty donuts and instead stepped up their basic glazed donuts. A fresh, warm. glazed Hurts Donut has become my favorite bakery donut in the city. (Since Blue Dot closed)

2021 Review:
THE NAME SAYS IT ALL!!! These are NOT good New Orleans donuts like that of the old McKenzie's, Shipley's, The Buttermilk Milk Drop, or Blue Dot. These donuts look cute, but they HURT your stomach! Poor POOR quality ingredients, LOADS of crappy sugar, and NO real FLAVOR. They are just trendy and Instagramable, but as far as actually eating them... never again. We ordered a large box with a variety of flavors. The Jesus donut was the absolute sweetest! The Strawberry Cheesecake was the most artificial tasting and disappointing. No strawberry. No cheesecake flavor. Walmart Great Value Graham crackers thrown on top.. Just a large quantity of crap disguised as cool novelty donuts. Then I read they are from Michigan, no disrespect to Michigan, but that explained a lot. I'd take a classic donut from a place like Starbucks before I ever subject myself to another night on the toilet with these. FLAVOR over AESTHETICS!!! I gave them 2 stars because I do love the Andy Warhol theme boxes, but obviously, the bandaids over the donuts were a warning. Also,the best one seemed to be the Butterfinger/Bart Simpson donut. Still super sweet but actually tastes good when slightly warmed up.“

“We moved nearby a couple months back and we find ourselves in the store multiple times a week. The lady behind the counter remembers us and specifically our dog (layla) and is always so welcoming, helpful and friendly. We have tried almost all the donuts and really like everything. Favorite is the apple fritter and bacon maple donut. Kids just love the donut holes.“

“Love this place they always have amazing food amazing service affordable prices!“

“Mochinut NOLA made our sweet boy’s 15th birthday so special! The donuts for us were delicious as always but Chewy gave four paws up for his special birthday donut from the girls! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!“

“Listen, I'm from Durham NC and know about the hole in the wall spots having THE BEST food...I wished I would have studied the menu more to try more things but what I had was 🔥🔥 the Hot Sausage half dressed was good and the donuts were 10 out of 10! There was a large group with us and the lady taking our order was patient and kind! If I'm ever back in NOLA, I stopping back through!!!“

“Get away from that overrated corporate chain on clearview and w metairie, and go get legit classic donuts with tons of options. Best chocolate glazed donut, and when you can get a fresh cinnamon twist, it's life changing. Also the staff is always extremely nice every time I go.“

“This place is a hidden gem! The staff is committed to providing top notch service to their customers. I came in looking for some of their incredible cake donuts with strawberries and blueberries on top (yes- a donut with fresh fruit on top- yum!), and when they didn’t have any in the display case they offered to custom make them for me. While the girls were decorating my donuts, the other customers in the shop were all discussing how this shop is has the best service in town. Amazing donuts and top notch service- kudos to the owner for understanding that his employees are the heart and soul of this wonderful local business!“

“Amazing lunch and top notice service from Ms Angie and Mr Mike. Ms Angie talked to us and made us feel like family. She was so awesome! She made recommendations and Mr Mike had our meal up in no time flat and even came out to tell us goodbye!“

“Pleasantly surprised! Stopped in for a quick breakfast. Want expecting much. Lots of menu options, waitress was great, good came quick, a nice filing portion. I got an egg white omelet with turkey ham and cheese. Came with hash browns and toast. Left with afew doughnuts on my way out. Place was clean. I will keep this place in mind next time I pass this way. Thank yall :)“

“We were visiting from Kansas City , MO over the 4th of July holiday. We had benêts from café du monde,which were delicious. The ambience was soo New Orleans. Then someone told us about the City Donuts establishment. So of course we had to check out yet another way to consume sugar. These were glazed and the
just as café du monde“

“Martha delivered a beautiful cake for my daughters birthday. Not only was the cake beautiful but it tasted amazing! I definitely recommend Nolita Bakery!“

“We always try to go here when we are in New Orleans. Last weekend we took my niece for her first visit and she left her purse that was filled with all of her makeup. She was so upset because we are 5 hours away and she was starting school this week. I called the next morning and they located the bag and overnighted it to us! What a blessing! That is great customer service.“

“We walked into Joe’s cafe and the staff were immediately friendly. They welcomed us and answered all of our questions with a smile. They had so many options there it was amazing. Thank you so much, this will be our number one donut shop everytime I’m in town.“

“Delicious and great wait staff“

“Audrey wanted MochiNut this morning and since we were on the westbank, we opted to come to this one. Great staff, yummy selections and a clean, relaxing atmosphere. 😋“

“We have a tradition of coming to Tastee #73 on the first day of school every year for a Tastee treat! This year marked 10 years from Pre-K3 to 7th grade! The staff is always so sweet and friendly. The staff presented us with complimentary petit fours to celebrate the occasion! (Along with our traditional fresh donuts) 🍩 Highly recommended (must try the donut holes)!!“

“Started the day at a quaint and friendly coffee shop with an 80's vibe. They had some great vegan and gluten free options, clean and fun atmosphere, and pet friendly 😋 Plus a unique little boutique area in the back. There was a lot of pay it forward kindness to some of the local homeless that wandered in as well...made the heart smile to see kindness in the world.“

“Oh my goodness ! Beats krispy Kream hands down!!! They have the best donuts and smoothies. I tried the boudin Kolache it was amazing ! I’m calling them Boulaches lol very good. Friendly people.“

“The apple fritter was as big as my head and weighed at least a pound! Big chunks of apples and the glaze was just right; not too sweet. The server was friendly and the place was very clean. Def be back to try the beignets! They have traditional powdered sugar, glazed, and cinnamon sugar. Yum!“

“I recently just moved to the neighborhood so I was really delighted that I would get the opportunity to visit this wonderful place they have such delicious food. However what I do not like is that they have horrible service and the attitude of the staff is lackluster that it is very confusing when you walk in there as far as directions. That aside they tend to miss plate items simple as meat and bacon I have to keeping me waiting seems that I was number 16 and they call 17 18 19 20 then I became a little concerned they hastily put together my plate where the items did not match my order it was no due diligence in checking the tickets to make sure that the items match with the person actually paid for as if there’s no kitchen manager or it’s just a free-for-all back there seems I’ve worked in the kitchen previous places I can spot the weakness maybe they need a staff that’s more enthusiastic about working at such a fine establishment and if they can appreciate that maybe that whole family dynamic atmosphere that they try to create something that’s really a hindrance to the business model and with overall discourage people who want to return and spend their heart on money so that they can keep this black on establishment on and Poppin but as you can see this is why people say black on establishment suck and black on businesses suck and they don’t give you a type of business and respect that you deserve because Black people suck but as another black person I’m not able to say that because that means that I suck so what a predicament this put me in oh my gosh and bring back the turkey Bacon please.“

“Everyone was so sweet at Krispy Kreme! The hoomans loved the doughnuts and Sunny loved the DOGNUTS!“

“Service with a smile, DELISH beignets!!“
