19 Best Donuts in New Orleans

“My family and I absolutely love this place. We go to the Elmwood location most of the time! The staff is always friendly and helpful! Our only issue is we never know what to choose from because it’s all so good! Thank you District Donuts for always keeping your standards high and food fresh!“

“a very lovely bakery with very nice staff.“

“We have frequent this shop for many years. The donuts taste great and the selection is varied. You have to make sure to go early though so you can choose from their wide selection. Always a pleasure to buy my donuts here even though it may not be that frequent (I have to watch my figure 😀)!“

“These are by far the best donuts in New Orleans. I think my best experience here was an apple fritter right out if the fryer. Warm, crispy edges with a moist center with lots of apple filling big enough for two people to share. The best I've ever had!“

“love the place the Best food a host hospitality in Louisiana give them a try you won't be able to let fo the best food in the Big eazy“

“Grabbed a burger and fries and can of soda right after I got here and it was SO GOOD. The burger had more flavor in the first bite than most burgers have as a whole. Hand to bible. I left with 2 donuts for dessert and I couldn’t love them more. Nothing like a nice fluffy old fashion donut! The employee working (owner?) was super down to earth and personable. Anyone that came in felt like a regular, it was so comforting to see that kind of kindness and community. Awesome place. I hope I have time to stop by before I leave!“

“I love this location! Rob, Leola & Angela usually serve me and they are always so kind & pleasant! They even know my order beforehand because I’m such a regular. I have visited this location for more than 20 years & wouldn’t change a thing!“

“4 stars. One of the best donuts I have tasted. It melts in your mouth and ita not to sweet. Doesn't leave the sugar crumbs everywhere. Its definitely delicious but I took one star away for the price. Its worth being more expensive than other donuts but not 2xs more I was charged $20 for a dozen when I get a dozen from any where for less than $13 different states and countries. Its the most expensive I've ever encountered. Yes the taste is GREAT but for the price I wont recommend or re visit.“

“I came to love Nolita after someone recommended their King Cake at the King Cake Hub right after Covid and I never looked back. By far the tastiest confection I’ve ever had. That brown butter satsuma glaze is to die for. Perfection to say the least. Everything I’ve eaten from the display case has been so delicious.“

“We were treated very well by the staff. The apple fritter, cinnamon roll, blueberry, and the fancies(like apple crumble) are delicious. Loved the local feel to the shop and appreciated the fresh glaze that they were constantly cranking out. The Breakfast Platter was a great option that we enjoyed, too!“

“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.“

“Great service and food. Very helpful with directions.“

“We stopped by this morning and everything we tried was amazing!! The beignets were delicious and life changing, the king cake was the perfect amount of sweet and fluffy, and my husband was completely satisfied with his shrimp and grits that he ordered. We will definitely add this location to our regular stops when we travel through!“

“I woke up and saw a review on Tik Tok when I was looking for breakfast. Heard the review on the shrimp and grits. My heart was set on that. When I got there, they were out of shrimp so….chicken and beignets it is. Listen!!! Let me tell you, them glazed beignets had me wanted to drive back to MS to slap my mama for not taking me there before. My Goodness!!!! Cafe du who? I will never eat Cafe du Monde again! And because I wanted a little of everything, I had the pecan glazed ones too. I just ate them for a snack. They are so good, even cold! Definitely on my list to return. Had to take a picture of the building so I will know where to return.“

“Everything I want in a coffee shop! Great coffee & tea of course. Yummy muffins & other pastries. Delicious & satisfying Protein-packed breakfast meals. Clean & inviting seating areas inside & out. Plus my awesome sister Sarah is there!“
