Dozen

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.

Boston creme

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.

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.

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!!

The food is consistently good, which is why I keep coming back. They're almost always busy, so I definitely recommend putting your name on the waitlist as soon as possible because the wait can get pretty long. My biggest complaint, though, is the service. Unfortunately, it's been an issue pretty much every time I've visited. The servers often seem a little disengaged, forget things we ask for, and take a long time to bring out food or other items. During my most recent visit, the table next to us had their food brought out before we had even placed our order, even though we had been seated first. It honestly felt like our server had forgotten about us completely. We shouldn't have to keep trying to get someone's attention just to place an order or get the things we need. I understand that restaurants get busy, but there's a difference between being busy and making your customers feel overlooked. It's frustrating because the food is genuinely so good, and the service doesn't match the quality of the experience. Overall, I still love this place and will probably keep coming back because the food is that good! I just really wish the service were more attentive, organized, and welcoming. With better service, this place would be even harder to beat.

There are some cute tables and chairs outside as well as about 10-15 seats at counters inside. I was greeted when I walked in and got in line at the counter. The pastries looked so fresh and delicious it was hard to choose just one. I went with a Pan O Chocolat, a chocolate filled croissant and iced latte. The prices are typical for a coffee and pastry. The croissant was so flaky and mouth watering. I ate very slowly enjoying each bite. The iced latte was good as well. I sat right by the espresso machine and enjoyed watching the baristas making coffees. I saw one come out with a perfect heart on top. They also have full bread loaves for sale as well as items for breakfast and lunch. I will definitely be back to try another pastry.

I lucked out by finding Ayu Bakehouse. They happened to be located on the same block as my Airbnb…read more They have a wide variety of baked goods to choose from, with the ham & cheese croissant and parm & chive biscuit being my favorites. I wasn't a fan of the cinnamon roll due to the crunchiness of the raw cane sugar on top. Ayu is a counter service restaurant with a full service coffee setup. The line moves fairly quickly, so don't be deterred if the line is out the door. Seating is very limited, so we took our items to go. Definitely worth the visit!
