“Such fabulous service!! I am out of state and I have an Aunt in New Orleans. I was checking to see if anyone needed anything - she said fresh donuts. Long story short - found Blue Dot Donuts on Yelp! Spoke with the nicest young man over the phone and he made her fresh donut wish come true! Thank you so much❤️ She said they were delicious!“

“Our king cake arrived yesterday. It is so deliciously fresh and instantly transports you back in time when your mouth would water all day long waiting for the teacher to cut up the class king cake. Thank you for sharing your talent.“

“There's no better way to cap off a Sunday morning in New Orleans than a visit to District Donuts. As the city buzzes with the brunch crowd post-church, finding a spot that combines ease of access with exceptional taste can be a tall order. Yet, District Donuts stands out as a perfect option for a Sunday afternoon treat!This delightful spot not only serves up some of the most delicious burgers in the city but also a rotating selection of inventive donuts that keeps you coming back for more. On my latest visit, I indulged in the spring beignet donut filled with an exquisite coffee mousse and a cream cheese-filled berry glazed donut. Both offerings were beyond phenomenal, perfectly capturing the essence of spring with their freshness and innovative flavors.District Donuts is a testament to the culinary creativity and quality that New Orleans is renowned for. It's a must-visit for anyone looking for a quick yet utterly satisfying dining experience on a bustling Sunday afternoon. Whether you're in it for the burgers or the donuts, you're in for a treat.“

“Four years ago, I moved from my beloved Arizona to Florida. Turns out nobody there knew how to make a apple fritter to save their life. Rolled up on my birthday this year and a move to New Orleans. Thought I'd give my all-time favorite sweet treat one more shot. Sure glad I did. These are incredibly, incredibly delicious. Perfect, apple fritters. Yum ... going into a sugar coma.“

“Pleasant workers best doughnuts in the East Area.“

“This coffee shop is one of my favorites in New Orleans, I always go here when I’m in the Bywater. They have delicious drinks and food here and such a good atmosphere. The outdoor patio is well shaded, large, and perfect for a nice day (though somewhat lacking in outlets), and the inside is filled with local art and good vibes.Vegetarian options: I got a delicious bean and potato and cheese bowl that was very affordable and tasty.“

“I'm not a donut fan myself but I was immediately confronted with a wide arrangement of donuts to select from and not a single one in my dozen was bad. They all had different flavor profiles and served their theme, I was pleasantly surprised at how innovative a donut shop could be! The server couldn't have been more helpful truly great service!“

“The glazed beignets are a 10/10! I'm not the biggest pastry or donut lover, but these are delicious! They're light and the glaze isn't overbearing. They even taste good after they've cooled if you throw them in an air fryer. Customer service was great! I definitely recommend giving them a try, especially for the glazed beignets.“
