Stumbled upon this place while waiting to catch the bus. Their donuts are fresh and it pairs well with black coffee. I asked about the donuts toppings and cashier was kind enough show the tub to me and friendly too.

Great variety of flavors and pleasant staff. The line moved quickly and everything was reasonably priced.

You can't wrap up a day in New Orleans without stopping at Hurts Donut Company. At first, I was puzzled by the name, why would a donut shop be called "Hurts"? Well... now I know. Each donut is the size of a medium dinner plate! Holy cow. It kind of hurt after the three of us finished six donuts... but they were so good we couldn't stop eating. New Orleans does everything big and bold, but these donuts are something else. They're not overly sweet, the dough is just right, not too chewy, not too soft , just perfectly balanced. Hands down some of the best donuts in New Orleans. There are so many creative and interesting flavors. My favorites were the King Cake donut and the fritters. Go try a variety and find your own favorites. There's paid parking nearby, but if you're staying close, I'd definitely recommend walking over. Go hungry and be ready to understand why they call it "Hurts"!

Yum!

Donuts!!! Gut bombs, diet pills, dog nuts, loce handles, etc. Whatever you like to call them. Lots of incredible choices but I can't do the too-sugary options like I used to. Like the traditional options more now than ever. Co-worker had the Boston Cream and he said it was packed full of delicious cream. I chose the glazed red velvet and it was delish. Fresh, soft, and moist. Cool kitchen view area where you can see the bakers at work.

It's smells AMAZING! There's a large variety and I wanted to buy 12 and take a bite of each. But I didn't! I chose blueberry streusel, caramel coconut on chocolate cake donut and Boston creme. The blueberry streusel is divine. It's a blueberry cake donut and I don't think it even needs the streusel, it's absolutely decadent. The chocolate coconut caramel is on a chocolate cake donut, which is perfectly done and topped with caramel and coconut. I like it but the topping could've been more... wet. The Boston creme was so so so yummy. The yeast donut was so light and fluffy and the creme was light and sugary. The chocolate topping was thick and the very best bite. I want to go tomorrow and try the Bart Simpson, strawberry filled and Nutella filled! Definitely worth a stop in! 10/10 recommend!

Hurts Donuts blew me away--hands down the best donut I've ever had in my life! The texture was perfect: soft, fluffy inside with just the right amount of sweetness. The flavors are out of this world and totally unique. Whether you're into classics or crazy toppings, they've got something for everyone. This place isn't just a donut shop--it's an experience. I'd go out of my way just to get another one. If you haven't tried Hurts Donuts yet, what are you doing with your life?!

Large well decorated donuts. There are numerous flavors to choose from. Plus they are reasonably priced. Unfortunately they didn't taste as good as they looked. We expected them to be more flavorful. The sprinkled donut was the best, the others were okay, drier and less exciting. They are frosted well and have ample toppings.

This donut shop conveniently located next to our hotel so we grabbed some donuts after checking out. The customer service was very friendly. The glazed donuts were really big and delicious. The fruity pebbles tasted more like a donut stick than. The girls really enjoyed them.

I got the Maple Bacon Bar in the top right corner lol

Based solely off the big a** cinnamon roll...this place is really good! Literally one of the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had. So many layers, not too much cinnamon, not a dry bite at all, just enough sweet glaze and it can easily feed 4-6 people easily!

We were so excited to see the doughnut sign from a block away- we only had 10 minutes to catch our bus. When entering I was glad to see no one in line. The place was bright and cute decor. There we 3 people at the counter we told the we were in a bit of a hurry and started picking out doughnuts- the older lady couldn't find the ones we were pointing to and the two young ladies were counting the donation box money. They finally came over and showed her which one (even though we were pointing) Got our doughnuts after taking the box to close it ourselves. (Made the bus) The doughnuts overall were disappointing- the chocolate, chocolate mint and red velvet had tasty frosting but the doughnut part was Really dry. Glazed one was fresh and soft. Lemon didn't taste like anything. The best one was the sprinkle doughnut it had good flavor and fresh.

You can smell and feel the vibes just by passing by this place. We walked pass Hurts Donuts on the way to Chapter IV leaving the Hyatt Regency, and the smell was making my taste buds dance, and my tummy sing. Walking back to the Hyatt we passed Hurts again, and this time we turned and walked inside. Hurts have an heaven scent you can not ignore. Service was really great! They have so many gorgeous decorative pastries. I just wanted two donut holes. Because I was so fully from Chapter IV, they lady handed me two donut holes and they just melts in your mouth. They are slightly larger than any other donut holes I've ever had. My friend still placed an order of a dozen and a half, and what ever else he selected. They have a 2.5 pound cinnamon roll, and no other cinnamon rolls to offer. that Cinnamon roll can feed a half a dozen of people. Only suggest I would make is possible place the donut holes in a tiny box, it was sticky on the outside of the bag when I heated them up for breakfast the following day... and they still as very good. I ate them with my crawfish étouffée, and they were paired nicely together.

Hurts Donuts is right beside my organization's New Orleans office. When visiting on a business trip, some co workers and I visited one morning. There are so many donuts to try! I went with the classic with maple icing. The donut was so good! If I'm ever in the area again, I'd stop by.

Cafe Du Monde - Beignets with hot chocolate

Cafe Du Monde

Cafe du Monde is one of the most famous places in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It's very…read morecasual and definitely cash only. It's a place many tourist bureaus tell you to go and have a beignet or 10 with their own signature coffee. Their beignets are made fresh with a lot of excess powdered sugar on them. It's a definite place where friends are made and experiences are often shared with friends in the French Quarter. I've been here twice before but didn't file a Yelp review until this trip in 2026 October. The ambiance here can be wild and I can tell they do swift business here daily since it's so popular with the locals and the tourists. The seating area maxes capacity about maybe 50 people at any given time. You order from a window and it's cash only. There's an ATM nearby so be prepared to bring cash or your ATM card before ordering. The beignets are definitely made fresh and served 3 per order. Order enough and you'd have a party for one in your mouth while vacationing in New Orleans. Best bet would be to come early enough before the craziness swoops in. On my latest endeavor into the French Quarter, I arrived here around 12:45pm on a Tuesday afternoon and the tables had been overrun with tourists and locals alike, scrambling for the freshest beignets available that day. Maybe I got lucky, since I found an ATM nearby and withdrew $40 and bought enough beignets for a snack and possible dinner companions later in the day, since I had lunch already before walking over. No matter what your itinerary is in the French Quarter, make it a priority to come here on your trip to New Orleans. The overall experience here at Cafe Du Monde - French Market was crazy and a lot of turmoil due to the sheer size of the people who come here everyday. I managed to order my beignets (16), couple of cold sodas, and ordered it to go. While waiting for my order, I saw a bunch of people leave after dining in and another group seem to swoop in for their empty tables. I was surprised and mad at the same time. Oh well, must be tourists I guess. I ended up walking to the Caesar's Palace casino on the north end of the French Quarter and sat in their food court and enjoyed some of the beignets along with the sodas in tow. Cafe Du Monde is an open air restaurant and it has been here at the French Market for so many decades. This location is the first Cafe Du Monde location that ever opened up in New Orleans before it expanded into varying locations around town and even at the MSY airport - terminal B. It was nice to be here and order in a big amount of beignets for my own consumption. It's always cool to see a New Orleans institution thrive here and there's many tourists and locals who love beignets as much as the next person. For the most part though, Cafe Du Monde is a treasure and definitely a must do on your trip to New Orleans. Beignets are great but it's always a delicacy here in New Orleans. Do yourself a favor if you are craving some good and fresh beignets or just looking for an excuse to come back to New Orleans. Cafe Du Monde -French Market is located in New Orleans's French Quarter. It's physically located at 800 Decatur Street, New Orleans. They are cash only, as mentioned before. Bring cash beforehand or find an ATM nearby first. As far as parking goes, you'd be hard-pressed to find street parking, although there are some paid parking garages nearby, if you can look for them. There can be street parking though, but hard to come by on a random day. If you're a lover of public transportation, consider the right local bus routes to get here from your original destination. They'll be glad to have you but bring cash. Cash is king around here. And as always, there's always Uber or Lyft to assist you with bringing you here expeditiously and timely so you don't miss out on these delicious beignets and all these goodies that Cafe Du Monde has to offer. Do yourself a favor. Come here. You belong here for real. Make your stomach sing here on your next trip to Cafe Du Monde in the French Quarter. 5.0 stars for the overall experience, while crazy ambiance, it's the iconic place. Support local! A+

This is a must visit for me!…read more Yes, there are plenty of places to at serve beignets BUT not this way! Staff are experts servers. They can clear out a table, take an order and deliver the awesome beignets, coffee and even souvenirs within minutes. Our server was the best. She whisked in and whisked right out. During this Halloween weekend, the lines were massive. It's basically grab a table if you see one. Others stand in line for takeaway. The beignets melt in your mouth with its boatload of powdered sugar. Coffee is chicory. Strong as ever! Tables are cleaned in minutes so don't stress over a table not cleaned.

Donut Bakery delivers a quality product and customer experience. I called this morning to ask if…read morethey take Apple Pay, and the owner answered the phone. She was polite and hospitable, and said she couldn't wait to see me. It was the type of interaction you'd expect from Chick-fil-a. When I arrived, a young lady, perhaps a teenager, took my order and quickly boxed up my two dozen donuts. Again, she was hospitable and patient. I felt valued, and not like I was bothering them for patronizing their business. The donuts were still warm when I got home. The family quickly devoured them. And the icing on the cake? Two dozen mixed donuts were only $22 including tax. Other donut shops and bakeries could take a lesson in customer service from this place. It's simple--either train your staff to interact respectfully and professionally with customers, or if they lack the people skills, consider placing them in roles behind the scenes where they can still contribute without impacting the customer experience. I'm talking to you Buttermilk Drop and Adrian's Bakery. Regarding ambience, it's seen better days, and it's in a sketchy part of town. And, yes, there was a car parked on the grass, almost on the sidewalk, in front of the store. Hehe! That said, it's a great value.

We were also seeking solace from the heat and the humidity, it was a really really warm day in October. I ended up choosing a chocolate babka and ordered an iced matcha latte with lavender.

Service was fast and friendly, my matcha came out so quickly, my matcha came out perfect exactly what I wanted.

I had a bite of my husband's chocolate Babka and it was pretty good too. I also got the egg salad sandwich to go and ate it for lunch while wandering the French Quarter. The croissant was flaky, the slices of cucumber and tomato were fresh. My only complaint was that there was diced red onion in the egg salad with which gave it an overwhelmingly pungent onion flavor. Other than that, it was good. The kaya buns alone would bring me back! Oh and the service was good; they were slammed but very patient.
