The Donut Bakery

I absolutely love this donut shop. It's definitely a hidden gem in New Orleans East. I stumbled upon this place while visiting one summer driving Lyft/Uber, dropping someone off to the apartments across the street. The lady who works the counter is so friendly and welcoming. This place is better than Krispy Kreme, Tasty, and Dunkin! They always have warm, glazed donuts, and they give an extra one for you to enjoy in the car, too! My favorite are the Texas sized honey buns with just the right amount of cinnamon inside and glaze on the outside! If you're in New Orleans, you definitely need to try them. You won't be sorry, and you'll definitely be back for more. (The breakfast plate was made at home, but the donuts are from The Donut Bakery)

Don't let the location scare you away. It looks like it is in a residential area but check it out anyway. The ladies working were SO nice! The donuts were some of the best I've ever had! I can't wait to come back for more!

Incredibly friendly owner and employees. The donuts are always hot and fresh. Great atmosphere and service. You always receive an extra donut or two no matter your order size. 10/10

Best hot glazed donut you ever had!
Don’t let the surroundings intimidate you, it’s what’s on the inside that matters.

Hannah is SO LOVELY and the donuts are DELICIOUS!!! Ask them about their king cakes!!!

Some of the best doughnuts ever. I went for the first time Sunday 11/28 to see if the reviews were accurate and they were. I let the woman know it was my first time there, she let me sample and I immediately bought a dozen. The service is excellent (the woman that took care of me was very friendly) and she told me to come before 10am to get the best out of the product. It was already amazing so next time I come to New orleans I know I'm coming back.

What's Sunday morning without a hot glazed donut and PJ's coffee. My two favorite things in the East😋

Came across this donut shop by accident bc the hubby wanted a snowball nearby. So glad I stopped in. The hot glazed donut was soft and had a light crunch on the outside and just melts in your mouth. It was delicious! The lady behind the counter was very nice and friendly. Highly recommend 👌!!

OH MY Goodness! Everything taste great when excellent customer service is sprinkled on top. Please let The Donut Bakery take care of all your sweet needs. I will be placing a standard order every week

Big pain for parking right now. Street work = mound of Sand right in front on Tara Lane. But they are open & serving those made fresh Every Morning DONUTS .
YOU GOTTA HAVE.

The Owner and employees are friendly, also the donuts and other pastries always taste delicious!

If you want always fresh donuts and a super friendly staff, get over to the Donut Bakery pronto! I love the donut holes, especially the chocolate. I haven't been on a weekend in awhile but when I did they were crowded, so expect a wait. The times I've stopped during the week, I was in and out.

This lil gem in New Orleans East..... is a reminder of hope for the community. Always busy, but line stays flowing..... IN & OUT. Glaze donuts are always hot & fresh. The other flavors are always fresh & delicious. One thing I truly love to see is pictures of kids in the community posted to the wall through the entire front area. They appreciate US & we appreciate them.

Amazing customer service and the doughnuts were to die for. Softest, freshest doughnuts I’ve ever had! She recognized that we were travelers and asked us where we were from, and then gave us a few extras “for the road”. So sweet and so generous! 10/10, will come back here next time I’m in the area!

Found this place by accident otw to work one morning. Don't let the area make you a skeptic. The owner was very friendly and gave me a fresh donut to try before I bought. Was probably one of the best glazed donuts I ever had. Not one person at work was disappointed

This is such a wholesome place. Y'all are so friendly. The donuts were fresh and tasty. I'll be back again and again. 💜

My favorite donut shop in New Orleans, hands down.

This is a mainstay in New Orleans East and the most fresh donuts cooked to order while you wait cause the sale out when you walk through the door. 😋

Just discovered this place & I love It! Affordable prices, friendly atmosphere & amazing donuts!! The apple fritter are top notch! If you are ever around the area, please drop in! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Great fresh donuts, still warm in the box, on a Sunday no less.
