Great coffee at this walk through establishment. The service is attentive and engaging. Fancy Donuts to delight the sweet tooth, and biscuit breakfast sandwiches if you're hungry. My favorite is the iced coffee, which must be cold drip of some high quality beans and solid roasting.
On our way to the zoo, we stopped for a quick snack. We tried the cinnamon roll and a couple of drinks. Unfortunately, we were not huge fans of the cinnamon roll. The flavor was a little strange, and the texture between the hard sugar glaze--think cream brulee--and the slightly undercooked dough was off-putting. The drinks were good. The service was fine, and the order was ready quickly. It would have been nice if they had wormed it up a little more, which might have fixed the texture issue. There is nowhere to sit inside at this location, but a couple of small benches are attached to the outside of the building where there is some shade.
I was in the mood for a cinnamon roll, and a quick search online told me that District Donut was the place to try! The cinnamon roll was unlike any I've had before: it was fluffy, generously filled with cream cheese frosting, and brûléed on top, adding a really delicious, crunchy layer of caramelized sugar ($4.75). It was also huge - it filled the entire doughnut box! I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee, which honestly was disappointing. I'm not accustomed to NOLA coffee shops' use of crushed ice, and I can safely say I am not a fan. There was so much ice and so little coffee, and the coffee itself tasted weak (with no distinguishable chicory flavor)...mostly like condensed milk. In total, I got five sips of coffee - at $4.60 for the cup, that's almost $1 a sip! The shop is tiny, basically a grab-and-go. It has limited outdoor seating, but the seats have seen better days, were sticky with some unknown substance, and were missing slats of wood. We ended up walking across the street to Whole Foods, which has ample outdoor seating. I definitely thought the cinnamon roll was worth the stop in, and given the high quality of the baking, I'd check out one of their more full-service locations in the future.
This place was a short walk from where I was staying. I checked the reviews and me and my wife decided to give it a try. The building is small but nice inside. I read about bad service, but did not experience this. We were greeted warmly and even joked with the barista. My wife ordered salted caramel latte and I ordered the fresh squeezed lemonade. She enjoyed her latte and said it was good. My lemonade was AMAZING! We also ordered a glazed doughnut which we both found tasty. The bacon, egg and cheese kolache was also good.
If you're on magazine street, this is the place to stop for coffee. This was the first place I've tried a Vietnamese coffee and instantly fell in love. I just LOVE this spot. They even added outdoor picnic tables so you can sit outside and enjoy your coffee.
Cute little donut coffee shop. We arrived in the rain so it was easy breezy and all to ourselves. I chose the Vietnamese Iced Coffee donut along with the Caramel Glaze Latte. I enjoyed both although I was slightly underwhelmed with my donut. It was coffee glaze, condensed milk pastry cream, tapioca pearls and chicory sugar- sounds phenomenal but I couldn't really and truly identify the flavors which may partly be my own fault for ordering a latte too rich in flavor. When it got time for my donut, it wasn't a party in my mouth as I was expecting. The condensed milk was a little watered down so not as thick and sweet as expected. Overall it's a donut...so I'm not mad at it but definitely wasn't as amazing for me as it sounded. They have plenty of options but noted no vegan ones which was a bummer for my husband whose plant based but they had good beverage options with non-dairy substitutes. In South Florida we're used to every spot having at least one option whether it's a donut, a muffin, a something...that's plant-based but in either case it's a sweet spot.
GET THE BRÛLÉED CINNAMON ROLL. If you love sweets, it is a must!!! Cozy & hip little coffeehouse in the heart of Magazine Street, they have a delicious array of donuts and baked goods on display at the front counter. Their menu also offers interesting coffee choices (like lavender & Vietnamese iced), along with savory choices (like Croque Madame & Monte Cristo sandwiches). There's just enough to choose from, and (visually speaking) everything looks delicious... We had already eaten breakfast when we stumbled upon this place on our stroll. So, we only tried the infamous cinnamon roll and a berries & cream donut... OMG, both were phenomenal! This isn't just any ordinary donut shop - it's where you'll find an elegant snack that will likely taint you from getting your breakfast goodies anywhere else. So good!!!
Stopped by for breakfast and we got the bacon, egg and cheese biscuits (they're huge!) pumpkin & pineapple fritters and coffees. The breakfast sandwiches were delicious and really hit the spot after a night of drinking on bourbon street. The fritter was tasty and paired well with our coffee. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again. There is outdoor seating and service is good.
I would give this place a negative 0 if I could...terrible service!!! We arrive literally standing in line for 10:59 and we were informed we could not order breakfast. The manager was a totally butt about accommodating PAYING CUSTOMERS. This is not how you do business! I'm a professional on many levels and I know how business should be conducted! No WONDER their location in Baton Rouge is closing. You can't thrive with terrible service in this industry! #districtdonuts The Magazine Street location.
This location is unlike District Donut's other venues, which are all decent-sized restaurants, most of which I seem to have been to. This one's just a little hut with coffee, donuts, and a few other things but not, sadly, the delicious beet-based veggie burgers the other locations have. But that's okay; you're probably here for the donuts. And they offer the same donuts as they do at all the other locations. There's nowhere in this little space to make them; I saw them being carried in on trays, presumably from the other Uptown location. And those donuts remain ludicrously ostentatious, with premium-sounding flavors that generally live up to the names. I sampled a black and gold, some kind of peanut butter and banana thing that I believe is in support of the local football team, as well as a horchata donut stuffed with some kind of cinnamon-flavored cream. They're expensive, but totally worth it for the occasional treat. Rarely does something look, sound, and taste so good.
I've been meaning to review District Donut for a while now. Their coffee is great, and I'm a particular fan of their cold brew. And, as the name suggests, their donuts are very good too, with the standout being their brûlée'd cinnamon roll, which is just phenomenal. (It's worth trying the breakfast sandwich too, though it could use a nice sauce.)
Do yourself a favor and stop by this place if you are in the area (and even if you are not)! We were looking for a place to get a quick bite to eat while waiting to visit the zoo. A quick search on Yelp found this place, and when I saw that they offered kolaches, I knew we had to go! They had a nice assortment of biscuit and kolaches for breakfast, each made fresh daily and warmed up for you upon selection. We couldn't decide, so we got an assortment and sampled a little bit of each. The biscuits were soft and buttery, and the kolaches were just little bundles of heaven.They also have a different assortment of donuts every day, freshly made, and they all looked amazing.

This is a very tiny location, so don't go and think you're camping out in the restaurant or hanging out for very long. This place is a great pick up and go locale. Much like the other Districts, they have a great variety of donuts, some delicious coffee, and I finally tried their sausage biscuit breakfast. Service came up quickly (although there wasn't really a line when I was there), so even if there's just one worker, they're fairly efficient. The biscuit was expensive, but it was also HUGE. It ended up being a brunch for me because it was so filling. Then, for dessert much later, I picked up my favorite sopapilla donut. This is always a great place to take friends or pick up some goodies for your loved ones, but this is probably the smallest of the locations, so I would pick another one if you'd like to dine in or relax with your meal before heading home. read more
I enjoyed district donut and coffee bar. I stopped in on a Saturday morning - they weren't too busy & the staff was really friendly. The donut flavors seemed so cool!! I got the mango sticky rice donut. It was hard to pick just one, all the flavors seemed so unique. I thought the texture was good & the filling was really delicious. It was a great donut! The iced coffee was good too. I will say - there is not a lot of seating here. The location is quite small. But fun to stop in and grab a donut to-go read more

When Velvet coffee closed before I could try it, I was disappointed, but I believe this had taken its place around the time I was in New Orleans. I anticipated this place, since I felt like at the time, New Orleans didn't really have any great cafes that offered the whole package. Initially, this place was a bit disorganized, but it did pick up, and the coffee is pretty decent. While on the expensive side, they are one of the better places to grab a cuppa joe in New Orleans, something more along the lines of the 'third wave' of coffee. Their matcha was also delicious, but expensive, along with their pies. They have pretty interesting flavors and creations for their pies, but again, expensive for what it is. The ambience is hipster, rustic, and local, with limited seating. You can tell the interior has been well thought through and the service is pretty friendly most of the time. Their donut and slider place is good as well, with more seating and a larger fare. read more
Visited this place hoping to order the Nutter Putter, was a bit disappointed they did not have it that day. We decided to go with the most similar flavor and choose peanut butter with marshmallow donut. We also never tried king cake before so we ordered that flavor as well. Both were good (they are donuts after all!) but nothing spectacular like voodoo donuts. Worthy visit nonetheless. Here are my ratings: Peanut butter and marshmallow: 8/10 King cake: 8/10 read more
Holy donuts! I hail from a land of countless old-school donut shops and a few trendy ones. On top of that, I'm a donut lover. So when I saw District was .2 miles from my rental, I knew I had to pop on in. The space is tiny, deff made for a grab and go situation. I went around 8:30 or 9:00 on a Saturday and they were already out of a handful. The selection they had was still decent. They don't do any cake donuts so if that's your thing this isn't the place for you. I went with the chocolate glaze, cinnamon bun (not a donut), Nutella and cookie dough. They were all great but my favorite by far was the "classic" chocolate glaze. Even though it was traditional, it wasn't classic. It was monstrous and way more flavorful than your typical donut. Note that this wasn't all for me. These donuts are massive. We fed four and still had a bit leftover. i also got a cold brew coffee which was delicious. They pack the cups with Sonic-style crushed ice so you don't get at on of coffee out of it.. Overall a great spot. If you're a donut lover then District is a must. read more

This is a satellite shop of District Donut, they have the same great donuts with a smaller selection. They bring them over in the morning from the main location and have shorter operating hours. I got the German chocolate donut and wasn't disappointed. It wasn't too sweet and the dough was light and fluffy. Pair it with a coffee and I can't complain! read more

Stopped here for breakfast while in NOLA. The place is very small so you can just take your order and go out, outside there are few tables. Coffee was good, dounuts were the biggest I ever seen and were very tasty. The only complain: they were a bit to stuffed with the filling in my opinion. read more

WHY WASN'T I INFORMED ?!?!? Quietly last August, ill-conceived and over-priced "District Hand Pies" folded and was mercifully replaced by its far superior sister company "District Donuts & Brew". OUT: Hand Pies IN: Donuts, Savories & Kolaches KOLACHES WORTHY OF "ORIGINAL KOUNTRY" bakery in Schulenberg, Texas, the heart of the klobasnek belt. Most importantly the dough is perfectly buttery like a Mrs. Schubert on steroids. The link sausage is spicy and pairs well with the melted cheese and slice of jalapeño. One is $3, but so good I actually rounded the block and bought another! (See pic) read more

I live in Chicago and am swamped by donut shops but these donuts are some of the best I've had! They are yeasty donuts that aren't overly sweet with both classic and creative non-traditional flavors. This location is small but has a cute outdoor seating area. I loved the 5 spice and pistachio. My friend liked the chocolate. The staff here could not be nicer because they added 2 free donuts to our order without even mentioning it! Such a lovely surprise! read more
This is the best donut shop I have ever gone to. I went with a few friends so we split a bunch of donuts. And usually one donut at a shop is not so good. Well everything was delicious. My favorite was the pumpkin cheesecake and the cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was so fresh and they torched the icing so it melted and caramelized. If you're looking for donuts in New Orleans. This is the place to go! read more

Items Selected: Tiramisu Chocolate Milk Brownie Batter Sweet Root - Beet Glaze, Candied Carrots Apparently unable to capture lightning in a bottle twice, a Hand Pie concept from the team behind District Donuts + Sliders + Brew quickly shuttered and reconcepted as a tiny Coffee Bar on the corner of Arabella and Magazine Street, District Donut + Coffee Bar nonetheless shows just as well as its bigger brother when it comes to fried breakfast pastries while making the most of its incredibly limited space. At most 200 square feet in size, the wedge-shaped bar still slinging out a multitude of Coffees, Cappuccinos and Lattes alongside Donuts, Biscuits and Kolaches brought over from the mothership, it was with window paintings of Donkey Kong looking on that a total of four selections were made to the tax & tip tune of $14, a steep price once again justified by the taste. Changing up the options daily, everything including sprinkles and fillings made from scratch, in house, first bites of Brownie Batter were tasty despite not offering the Chocolate base that might be expected, a second unfilled choice of Sweet Root offering a complex flavor both earthy and aromatic thanks to sugar-encrusted Carrots and the faintly pink Glaze. Moving on to two cream-filled pockets, both using the same stretchy Brioche base as the rings and holding up nicely without a bit of sog, Tiramisu does not play around with artificial booze or concentrate when infusing its center and topping with Espresso, Rum and Dark Cocoa, the Chocolate Milk a spot-on representation of the beverage, though quite messy and best eaten with utensils over a plate or napkin. read more

Coffee: pretty standard coffee. Enjoyed my latte. Ambiance: neat place to get dessert/beer/coffee. Donuts: maybe because I went in the afternoon, the donuts weren't fresh and a little dry. Probably won't head back but it is probably better in the morning. read more
