Although their donuts are amazing, customer service is awful. Rude and unfriendly. Such a shame read more

The blueberry donuts and the Jelly filled are mouth watering -I don't mind gaining lbs read more

The donuts are so fresh! Hot or even warm, they are delicious. They have coffee available as well

Donuts are good and well priced, but served cold. If you're looking for fresh out the grease glazed, go somewhere else.

Lady was very sweet and quick. Apple fritter was big as my head so that's 5 stars by its self!

I'll FOREVER be a fan of a good, quality donut and this Mom and Pop donut shop delivers just that! A GOOD, QUALITY DONUT! The donuts are ALWAYS fresh and never hard or stale tasting. You can truly taste the difference in "Made Fresh Daily". The prices are low and affordable! My favorite glazed twist is only $1.25 and you can grab 10 donut holes for the kids for $1! The staff is friendly and inviting every morning! They make you feel like family, which I love! This donut shop is truly a hidden Gentilly Gem! I think I've found my new NEIGHBORHOOD FAVORITE! read more

The doughnuts were delicious I would have given them another star but since I only ordered 4 doughnuts they put them in a bag and all of the icing was stuck on the bag read more

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. read more

They serve wonderful donuts. The maple bacon bars are especially good. Be sure to get there early before they run out.

Business is clean, donuts are decently good. The complaint I have is how they choose to package their products to cut corners on cost. . . There isn't any reason a half dozen of donuts should be thrown into a paper bag vs having them in a box and neatly presented. read more

What a breath of fresh air (as it relates to donuts). This donut place is ALWAYS busy & they always rise to the challenge of having piping hot, oh so delicious, mouth watering donuts in a timely fashion. Staff are friendly & they don't get in the way of me and those mouth watering delights... lol. This is my #GOTO donut place!!!! GO Daddy Go!!!! read more

Daddy's Donuts - the front of the building - Donuts Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I try to make it to Daddy's Donuts almost every weekend to get a couple glazed donuts and a coffee. The coffee is delicious. Love supporting this local Gentilly gem! The reviewers who say the owner/operator is rude are WRONG. Her sassiness and humor brighten up my day - just don't rush her checkout process and you'll be fine, K?! read more

Since I've moved back from Texas, finding a delicious donut has not been the easiest. I found Daddy's Donut through the map app and I am extremely happy I stopped. I bought a blueberry and an apple filled doughnut. The taste was superb, the donuts were not heavy, and is simply priced. The service and appreciation for the business is refreshing. read more

Needed a last minute birthday treat this morning. We just moved to Gentilly, so I pulled up Yelp and found this place close by. 34 donuts for $19 with the ladies very personable and nice to the birthday boy. We each taste tested a glazed on the way to school/work and my son declared these the best donuts ever. They were a big hit at school and we will be back! read more

Hands down my favorite place for Donuts in the city. The staff has ALWAYS been friendly and helpful. There are times when they don't have the donuts I'm looking for (we keep it simple glazed, twist or donut holes) but they are always willing to drop a batch. It's a smaller shop so going close to when they close may mean they don't have as much because the amount they'd waste would be insulting! If you want something on the more creative side this isn't the spot for you ‍. But they excel at really good simple donuts. Every time someone comes in from out of town I get a dozen at least once. read more

We went here on a Saturday morning about 9 am. I know it's kinda late for donuts but we were disappointed. Pretty awful donuts and rude service. read more

Visiting for work and stopped by to grab a dozen for my work. Melanie was so kind and sweet.

I've been living in Gentilly for almost two years and Daddy's is a short five minute drive from my home. Being from BTR I grew up on Mary Lee's donuts, which are the die for, btw; coming to NOLA everyone loves Krispy Kreme - I'm not a huge fan. Daddy's Donuts have the same style as Mary Lee's, they melt in your mouth. But, every time I go in to Daddy's I'm greeted by nothing but RUDENESS. After giving them my business (AKA my money) several times over the past two years I've come to realize why I'm greeted by nothing but discourteous, uncivilized, ill-mannered attitudes. You can watch it unfold in front of you, which I have three times. How can you be nice, pleasant, and talkative to some customers but then be short, disrespectful, and hateful to the next? Sometimes it doesn't matter how nice you are to employees if they are stuck in years past then you won't get far. read more

Went here today the lady working was so rude and made me want to walk out the front door. I understand the covid pandemic is going on but you don't have to be rude to your customers. We are the reason you are still operating. Piss poor customer service. Do better! read more

Stopped in Monday morning for a half dozen. Service was fast and the donuts were soooo light and fluffy-my favorite kind. The classic glazed is normally what a judge a donut shop on, and theirs is delicious :) Bring some cash and get you some! read more

Don't bother. They have slipped big time. Whomever was making the donuts in the past is gone. The dough is now overworked. The donuts are kind of greasy & they are now using some premix with a heavy fake vanilla flavor that permeates all of their donuts. My six year old even commented upon it. The Apple fritters have gone from sublime to yuck. There is just a general lackadaisical quality to their output. If you are looking for a quality donut, go somewhere else. read more

A neighborhood donut shop featuring a good selection of donuts and hot glazed in the early AM. Haven't tried any of their other goodies but from most of the reviews they look and should be good too. read more

Tried them for the first time today. Lady at the counter was confused and gave me the wrong filled donuts. Told me there were 3 left, I said give me 2, the man behind me said that's what he likes. So I'm wondering if she gave me the wrong thing so he could get his. I don't know but I'm disappointed. Other than that donuts good, fresh, apple fritter great. read more

I'm really disappointed with this place and will not be going back. Today was my second attempt at getting donuts with my kids. The first time was pretty much exactly the same experience I had today. So both times I've gone we came between 11am-12pm. I know they close at 1pm, but they barely had any donuts at all both times we went. By that I mean they maybe had a dozen donuts at most of random donuts which were ones most people don't like. I understand trying not to make a bunch more towards the end of the day, but there's always a good amount of people when we come and if I owned a donut shop my mentality would be to keep making donuts as long as people are coming through the doors, just maybe make less than you would in the morning. Each time we were shouted at by an older woman (with awesome nails, props for that!) when entered saying "What you see is what you get". No "Hey y'all!! Thanks for coming in! We're a little short since it's getting close to closing, but let me tell you what we have left". She had this interaction with most folks who walked in, and if someone questioned her about it, she would just throw her hands up and say "This is it. We're aren't making anymore at all". A decent amount of people just turned around and walked back out, but I had my kids and knew leaving would be pretty hard with them and I just wanted to get some and leave at this point. So we're looking and discussing what we might want out of the very few options we have, and this woman is just staring at us with a look of anger and suspicion for some reason? My 4 yr old is obviously very excited to be there and is asking me lots of questions because ya know, learning words and all. The woman is seeming to get more and more agitated as I ask her a few questions that I couldn't answer myself for my son. Each time I ask her a question, she stared at me like I had horns growing out of my head and that I had just asked the dumbest question she had ever heard. She would respond in a very patronizing tone and would return to staring at me again like I'm the biggest idiot in the world (with horns!). I honestly just wanted to say screw this awful place and walk out cause I had zero desire to spend any money there again, but alas I had a crying 3 month old and my son who had already picked out a donut he was really jazzed about. At this point I was really more so buying these donuts to keep him from having a meltdown because if I didn't my gut told me pretty quickly that this woman and the business in general would not be empathetic to me having to deal with a tantrum, especially if we didn't buy anything. We bought our donuts and that was it. I guess they were glad to have us leave? Maybe they just hate having customers past a certain time for which I would think they would maybe change their hours if they don't wanna make and sell donuts past whatever time is to late for them? It really sucks because this place is so close to us, and we get donuts as a family every Sunday and sometimes during the week, and I really was hoping this would be our new spot. I was wrong. We're gonna go back to driving the extra couple miles to Tastee in Lakeview where they at least attempt to make it a fun, sweet, and engaging experience for my son, and have much, much, and did I mention much more of a selection of donuts regardless of what time it is. My gut and common sense tells me Daddy's Donuts wont be around forever like some other donut shops around here, because a business can't sustain itself when they're goal is to leave as soon as possible instead of make money and have an ounce of positive customer service. read more

I've been going to this donut shop since 2nd grade and I absolutely love their donuts! They have never been rude to costumers and their donuts are delicious read more

Unlike some of the reviews, my experience has always been positive. Go early, buy fresh and hot. Don't expect the same after 11 AM, by then the morning is almost over, besides they close at 1PM! read more

I really enjoy Daddy's Donuts. It's one of my favorite donut shops in the city. I always can count on them to have fresh hot glazed donuts available. read more

Fresh, hot, soft, freeze well, friendly staff, quick service...What more can one say? I love this place. My favorite is the blueberry cake donut. I buy 6 at a time, then individually wrap (in Saran Wrap) and freeze them. They thaw just as soft and tasty as when they went in! They stay CROWDED and busy until closing time, so go early! read more

We found Daddy's after moving to the area from Tastee/McKenzie's territories. These are our favorite donuts. I personally adore the maple bacon bar, and wifey loves the donut holes. My better half always has a smile after coming back from the shop. She gets a hoot out of the wonderful staff. read more

I was on the hunt to solidify my superstar status as the newest office employee by bringing donuts to a mandatory morning meeting. Thought about bringing beignets, but was turned off by the messy prospect of powdered sugar everywhere. Searched around the Marigny to no avail...so when I called the lovely Cake Cafe re: my quest for donuts they recommended Daddy's Donuts to me. After acquiring some rough directions (head up Elysian Fields until you hit Gentilly Blvd, then take a left) I was on my way. And oh what awaited me is quite a delight: affordable, donut deliciousness. Yum Yum. If you need a cool dozen for a meeting, this is your spot. These donuts are top notch and native Orleanians were asking me where Daddy's was. Just a note on directions, this amazing local spot is tucked into the L-shaped strip mall, set back off Gentilly Blvd. The Gentilly Temporary LIbrary is also located back there (utilize your public services - people!) and next to the Post Office. read more

Open 6-1 with pure deliciousness. The glazed donuts seem to always be hot and fresh. Right next to the usps plenty of parking. Nice staff

This is one of the best donuts I have had in a VERY long time. The staff was personable, the prices reasonable and the donut D-LICIOUS!! Very light and fluffy and the perfect amount of glaze and not too sweet. I ate my donut in not more than 2 or 3 bites. This will be my donut stop from now on. read more

Daddy's Donuts has absolutely amazing donuts, but they also have a large selection of sweet treats. It's not JUST donuts. They also sell fritters, cinnamon rolls, honey buns, and personal favorite Bacon Maple Bars. Unlike other places, Daddy's Donuts does not short you on the Bacon topping; they really pile it on. The price for their Donuts are some of the best I've ever experienced for pastries and the line is never too long. My only qualm is the operation hours (6a-1p) but it's to be expected with a breakfast pastry joint. read more

Great glazed donuts! They are yeast donuts in the same vein as Krispy Kreme, but bigger, fresher, and made by hand in small batches and you can definitely taste the difference. However, the coffee is standard coffee you would find brewing at a gas station. Get your donuts early and go home and make your own coffee. read more

Glazed are a BEAST...usually warm and fresh, I'm pretty sure they are made fresh daily, which is what we all want!! Great location as for it's down the street from my house...hope I don't get fat eating all those daddy's donuts!! LoL read more

I am originally from New Orleans now live in PA. Everytime we go to New Orleans, I have to stop and get these donuts!!! Their buttermilk donuts are like the ones that McKenzies was famous for except Daddy's buttermilk donuts are better!!! I have had others but these are the best!! They are so fresh and yes they do run out so get there early!!! And the coffee it is the best!!! To Nut G's review on 1/22/14. We actually were in New Orleans that week and again in March, and the donuts were just as fresh and great as they alway are nothing is every fake!! We have even toured the back, as far as mixes go his top grade flours etc. are stacked in plain view!!! We would so love it if our local donut shop was as good as this!!! Its fine if you don't care for their flavor but you really shouldn't comment on things you know nothing about ! And if you know anything about the donut biz. People come and go all the time, the owner has the recipe and their donuts will always be terrific!!! The lines are out the door some days!!! read more

They have a new girl behind the counter, went this morning and got a 1/2 dozen doughnuts, 3 different kind, and had to repeat what I wanted 3 times. She can't possibly last long. Doughnuts are great!!! read more

To say this is a donut shop is to say Michael Angelo was a painter. This place is a studio that produces donut art. I recommend sampling all they have to offer but highly recommend the apple fritter. Warm, soft, perfect balance of fruit to bread to sugar glaze ratio that gives the impression this might just be healthy... Ok, maybe not but it is delicious. Haven't tried the bacon and caramel covered donut but it does look interesting. So many donuts, so little time. read more

Picked up 9 dozen donuts. Everyone loved them. Glazed were perfectly soft. And chocolate were equally good. Will be back next time I'm in town. read more

Sometimes you go to a neighborhood place for convenience but when you get your donuts at Daddy's Donuts, you are not settling ... you are getting a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth tasty treat! I also love the delightful staff that is eager to serve! I highly recommend that you find this out-of-the-way spot and treat yourself and others to Daddy's Donuts today! read more
