My son begged for donuts this Saturday morning. The young blonde lady serving the drive-thru smiled the whole time; she was just so pleasant- a truly natural "people person." I embarrassed myself by making an order before noticing their huge "CASH/CHECKS ONLY" sign and had to come back. She was very understanding and kind about it. Donut King, your delicious donuts and your smiling employee made our day. We'll be back! read more

New Owners, now take Cards, awesome biz staying local in Mandeville, will miss it when were gone.

Not impressed. I know donuts can be sweet, but I don't wanna go into a diabetic coma. Every time I think about getting donuts in the morning I think about going here because it's so close to my house, and then I remember how much I don't like them. If you want a decent donuts you have to go to Covington to that little pink shack, forgot what it's called. But that's where I go. read more

Love the service here! They're always friendly and give my pup some donut holes too. Honestly some of the best donuts I've tried! They offer coffee with chicory too! Always recommend. read more

First of all, who in the hell accepts cash only?! That was my first annoyance with the place. The second was that the doughnuts weren't amazing- they were ok and heavy. I feel like it was over hyped by so many others in the reviews and in this area. The glaze doughnuts were also not hot. If I'm getting doughnuts they better be hot! It's a small town restaurant and I do feel like the vibes were the same. Check it out for yourself. read more

Donuts are always fresh!! And great drive thru service that is fast!! It is also neat and clean inside too...

Long time customer. But things have gone down hill since last visit. Donuts were cold, colder than room temp it seemed. The owner (older gentleman) was very gruff with customers. Other staff weren't friendly as well. And the whole cash/check only thing, is annoying, However, they do conveniently have an ATM inside if you need cash, i'm sure for a nice fee. read more

the chocolate donuts are the best on the northshore... any negative yelp reviews are from people who hate sweets! i love the connvenient drive thru. read more

I love the buttermilk drops, apple fritters and cinnamon rolls. Always fresh and yummy!

Best donuts in the area You definitely want to give them a try but they so close at noon read more

If your in the mood for donuts, this is a great place to satisfy your craving. On Sunday mornings they are extremely busy. When I went today, there were at least 8 cars in the drive through and 10 people in line inside. The donuts are worth the wait. Their cinnamon roll is excellent and I've been told their lemon filled is the best in Mandeville. I hate lemon but that statement came from a reliable source. The staff is very friendly and the owner is usually in the store. This location is new and much nicer than their old location. There are three tables for eating in if you decide to stay. read more

Best apple fritters in the area. Big enough for two people. Local owner. Not a franchise.

In 2023 you either need to accept cards or close your doors. It is literally the cost of doing business these days. And over $20 for a dozen donuts. A donut isn't worth that kind of trouble. But they did point out the atm next door, which meant half a block up the highway. read more

This is where I come every time I am in town. The donuts are sheer perfection. I like people watching here, too. The owner is very personable. He saw my son and invited him to come around to pick out his donuts. He joked around with him and really made his day. The place is immaculate. I like the swinging chairs. Growing up in Nola, I could have sworn I used to swing on chairs like that at a donut shop but I cannot remember where. A drive thru is also available if you still want to wear your pajamas lol. read more

Best donuts! Light and fluffy. Delicious. Mouthwatering. You have to try the cinnamon roll too.

Tried to buy donuts here this morning but, the sign said closed due to staffing issues. No offense but, you're only open for one shift. The owner should be in there making the donuts and selling them. Short if that, sell it. By the way, never had an issue with the taste or quality of the product. read more

Got donuts through the drive thru this morning. Great quick service. Know they only accept cash or check. We got frosted chocolate donuts and some chocolate donut holes. I was a little disappointed they were cold because I love a good fresh warm donut. This is a great quick snack if you are looking for one though. read more

Not sure what is going on with Donut King lately. The last two times I purchased donuts, they were terrible! I will not be returning.

I've lived in seven states over 45 years, and these are the best donuts I've ever had.

Donut King is just Ok to me. I always seem to be passing by this place on Sunday mornings and the store is packed and there's a long drive thru line. I don't really get it. To me the donuts are really not that great. In fact it's my least favorite donut shop in Mandeville. Last time I was here I was served my glazed donut hot. There is another donut shop in town that does this. They seem to think it's a bonus to give you a hot donut, but not everybody is crazy about hot ones. I let mine cool off before eating it. I think if they are going to serve hot donuts that they should offer you the option and not just assume that's what everybody wants. read more

This place is awesome. Even has a drive thru. Buy as many donut holes as you want, just leave some for me. Their Apple Fritter is our favorite and it is GIGANTIC...it fills inside the dozen donut box...wow!!! read more

Best Donuts on the Northshore. If you want fresh, delicious, handmade, large donuts, like you got when you were a kid, server by a friendly staff, this is the place read more

The donuts and pastries are always fresh and delicious. The staff are excited to help and go above and beyond to get you what you want. Love this place! read more

If I could give it zero stars I would... The owner is a bumbling idiot with anger issues who threw a mop handle into my teenagers face, then blamed it on having a medical issue. My son worked there as a MINOR and put up with this aggressive behavior for too long. In October, two adult employees were SMOKING in the kitchen, which is right behind the counter where customers are served. When my son complained, he was threatened with violence. The owner's wife stated that she would take care of it because apparently the owner is too much of a p#$$y to handle his own business. A month later, those same two ADULT employees again threatened my son in front of the owner and he did nothing. Needless to say he will not be back and I will be filing a complaint with OSHA. read more

Donut King used to be a sat and sun staple for us but not anymore. Nothing better than their hot glazed donuts but that is the problem. I usually pick up donuts between 9:30 and 10:30 and they are never hot anymore. They must cook them early because they aren't hot even at 9:30 anymore. Just not worth it. Sorry but will drive up 190 to Butter Crisp now. Bit of a pain but only way to get em hot. read more

Their donuts are amazing!! Especially the hot glazed, the big apple fritters and all the cake donuts.... Their customer service is on point!

If I only had one hour left to live u would spend it in your drive thru line because you guys make it feel like an eternity. Slow service. It isn't hard. I give you cash, you give me donut. 2 seconds. read more

My favorite place for donuts in Mandeville. Growing up in Mandeville I always went to Mandeville Bake Shop, but I choose these over them any day. They are very nice here too which always makes my mornings better. read more

I can remember Donut King next to a video store with a red police light flashing in the window as I ate Mc.D's before i got on my bike to ride to the jr. High. Well today the building is long gone , but a shrimper now sells his catch at the location. Donut King is alive and well just up hwy 59. The drive thru is always full, as well as the shop. If you want the freshest donuts make your way here. Can't go wrong! Just wish I knew then, what I know now! read more

The best donuts and friendliest staff in town! They also have good coffee. Their customer service reminds me of Chick-fil-A's.

Worth the 20 minute drive! Love their blueberry drops, huge cinnamon rolls and donut holes melt in your mouth. Cash/check only--Do wish they would take "plastic". read more

I LOVE this place!!!! The owner is so nice, the donuts are fabulous & the service is awesome. I come here all the time & I love it!!! Highly recommend! read more

I went inside the store today to get donuts. Two workers (one the owner) working. There was a customer ahead of me purchasing 6 dozen of a variety of donuts. That wasn't the problem at all. The owner greeted me and went to assist a drive up customer that arrived after I walked in and I was already waiting to be helped. The owner proceeded to help about 5 other cars in the drive up as I stood there for 10 minutes. So I left. To me this is poor business and I thought I should my frustration. We did frequent this donut shop pretty often. Sorry, but I will go elsewhere from now on. read more

So sweet! I am talking about their donuts and their staff! My personal favorite donut is the chocolate and glaze twist! Yummy!

I usually dont write reviews, and am a pretty laid back person, but I felt the service I received here justified a review. I've visited Donut King twice, and both times felt disappointed by the owner. The first time he was yelling at a young teenage worker behind the counter accusing him of stealing cash. He was being extremely rude and aggressive toward this child, all the while the kid was trying to calmly serve customers since the owner was making a huge disruption. The second time the owner was rude to me. He insisted I said I wanted a dozen donuts so he put them in a box. At checkout he got frustrated with me because he misunderstood I only wanted a couple of donuts, but he used a box to put them in. At the end of checkout he looked away and threw my change on the counter not saying another word. I agree the donuts are great, but I will never be back and support an owner who is both rude and aggressive toward his young workers and customers. Apparently I wasn't the only one who noticed this, as another google review user said the same thing. read more

This place is so great! Donuts are fresh & delicious. They also offer a wide variety to choose from. And if it's your child's birthday, they let them go behind the counter & fill a bag of donuts....for free! Love it! read more

Best Donuts in Greater New Orleans. Similar to Shipley's Donuts if you've had those but better. Great people in there and if you take your child on their birthday, they get to fill a bag as their birthday gift from Donut King. Awesome HOT GLAZE!!! read more

The people here are rude. Don't ever ask them for sprinkles on donuts that do not already have them. They are so rude. I don't know about the donuts, but I can say that the people are reason enough for me not to return. read more
