    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.

    We just happened to walk by this place on the way to breakfast. They had so many flavors of donuts that it was insane. We got a half dozen of different donuts and that red velvet glaze was awesome. I would definitely recrecommend.

    You gotta go. It's New Orleans!!!…read more Cafe du Monde is one of those places where you just have to embrace the chaos, get powdered sugar all over your body and have some fun with it. The beignets + cafe au lait are exactly what you want, and it's such a perfect spot to sit, relax, people watch and take in all the New Orleans craziness around you. My favorite time to go is either really late at night or ridiculously early in the morning. Both just hit different. Also... CASH ONLY!!! If you sit at a table the servers come to you quick! Powdered sugar covered clothes are basically a souvenir. 10/10 New Orleans experience.

I'd literally been told I had to go here so many times that by the time I landed in New Orleans, I pretty much made a beeline straight for this legendary cafe. This cafe is located right outside Jackson Square right off the waterfront. They are open late, as they close at either 11p or 12am every day. When we went in the middle of the afternoon, the place was very busy as it was hard to find a table in their outside patio, so we settled for a table in the indoor section(A/C SCORE!!). The ground was littered with powdered sugar as customers like myself don't always understand how to eat these beignets without making a big mess. The beignets themselves were pretty inexpensive as they cost only $4.53 for a 3-pack. I also got a large frozen coffee for $7.70. The beignets were delivered to our table very fast and very warm. The movie "Chef" says you only get your first bite of your first beignet from Cafe Du Monde once in your life and to cherish the moment and I do truly understand what they meant with that quote. These beignets were so great and that first bite with the powdered sugar explosion was so amazing-I really enjoyed the recklessness of having a beignet at Cafe Du Monde. Overall, I feel that anyone who visits New Orleans has to find their way to this legendary cafe and enjoy this dish that has been served since 1862. A really great bite!.

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.

    Very friendly service and amazingly delicious donuts that can be addictive…read more These are perhaps the most soft, fresh and huge glazed donuts I've had apart from Baker's Dozen. I have to say, these do not get hard after hours of sitting like some places. They actually remain super soft. I'm sooooo, glad they're located in the East, far away from me lol. Highly recommend!!

Like melt in your mouth good. They soooo good. The classic glazed is my go-to every time, but I'll grab other flavors for my coworkers too.

I don't get to go as often as I'd like because it's the opposite direction from my job and my son's school, but when I do? Yeah... it's worth it every time.
