I had never been but was planning on bringing them to a friend who said he liked them. I ended up getting 6 glazed holes. In hindsight I'm glad I didnt get the donuts since the donut holes were dense and not great. I guess they are trying to reduce waste by stopping production so early but I wonder how much they lost with the people in front of and behind me who walked out. I saw 3 cars roll thru the drive thru without a purchase.

I recently discovered their boozy coffees and that they sell Vietnamese coffee - eff the world condensed milk glory! So, freaking good. During the holidays, they sell egg nog lattes which are creamy and so delicious. But if you want the boozy one, go with the District Lebowski. Jaw drop, so good! I still think the donuts themselves need more work - I wish they would taste sugary like the ones in Lafayette called Meches. The toppings are exquisite and those hot honey fried chicken sliders are the best! The staff are very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I kind of wish those boozy coffees were at the other locations, but other than that, keep doing what you are doing!

District meets the suburbs…read more I've been to the locations on Magazine and Harrison several times but 1st time I have been to this one. This one feels like a chain restaurant (which it now is) and has no real personality being pinned in between a bike shop and a Jersey Mike's inside of strip mall. The kolaches at District are really good. They have a variety of flavors, I usually get a smoked sausage, cheese and jalapeno which is tasty but this time I got a brisket boudin and cream cheese kolache in a collaboration with Gonzo's. This was phenomenal. I also got a regular glazed donut. This was not that good. It's too dense and too thick. I like my glazed donuts to be light and airy; I want it to almost melt in my mouth. All of District's donuts are thick. Most of them are good especially the banana pudding donut. The issue is these aren't really donuts more like cakes or just a dessert. If you are coming to get your order to go this place is fine but if you want to hang out, I prefer the other locations.

This time I went with the glazed donuts, easily some of my favorite donuts. This spot does require patience since everything is cooked to order and it's almost always packed. That said, I've never had a bad meal here. It's definitely a hole-in-the-wall, so don't expect a lot when it comes to cleanliness, and that's the reason for the 4 stars. If you're coming for flavor and don't mind the wait or the no-frills atmosphere, it's worth the stop.

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing visit to Sweet Things Metairie…read more From the moment I walked in, the service felt off. There were no menus visible, and when I asked what was available, the employee didn't offer any guidance--just asked what I wanted. When I said a dozen donuts, she pointed at the display and said "this is it." No explanation, no friendliness. Only after I specifically asked if they had breakfast sandwiches did she pull out a folded paper menu, which I found odd since it wasn't offered at the start. The biggest issue was the food quality. When I got to my car and opened the croissant breakfast sandwich, the bacon was completely burnt--so burnt it wasn't edible. I threw the entire sandwich away. The donuts were also handled poorly. Two of the iced donuts were placed upside down in the box, with the icing smashed and stuck to the packaging (as shown in the photos). Between the lack of customer service, poor food quality, and careless packaging, this was not a good experience. I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend it to others.

The staff were friendly, and the $9 croffle, which came out hot and fresh, was truly excellent and the highlight of the visit (a tip I got from another customer, not the staff). Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. I ordered the Shokupan (Japanese milk bread with ice cream and strawberries), which the menu clearly listed at $13. I was charged $15 on the receipt. When I brought this discrepancy to the associates, they explained that the price had been recently changed and the manager was "not good with technology," making them unable to correct the digital board. I explained that having a misleading price displayed at the point of sale is false advertisement and requested a simple $2 refund for the difference. The associates stated there was "nothing they could do" and suggested I speak to the owner. The owner came forward disgruntled. When I explained the situation, he did not apologize or attempt to de-escalate. Instead, he flatly stated there are no refunds, told me the price was $15, and tried to reprimand me for not accepting his verbal price correction after I had already been charged. He said it's not a big deal, prices change all the time, all this over two dollars, making me feel incredibly uncomfortable. The sheer lack of professionalism, transparency, and simple customer courtesy was staggering. The owner's refusal to honor the price they were actively advertising left a sour taste that no dessert could fix. To add insult to injury, the Shokupan itself was underwhelming and in my opinion, not worth the $15 I paid: just a big chunk of dry bread topped with a scoop of ice cream. While the croffle was a treat, I cannot in good conscience recommend giving business to an establishment whose owner is willing to cause a scene over a $2 error of his own making (although he eventually gave me the $2 refund) demonstrating a clear disregard for community and honest business practices.

So I decided to order two King Cakes to be shipped to Michigan. Most of the popular bakeries had long wait lists, but Caluda had availability. They even had the option to schedule the delivery in advance to arrive on a particular day. So I ordered (2/2) and scheduled the delivery on Lundi Gras (2/17). I paid and received an email confirmation. On the Friday before (2/14) I received an automated email from saying "Your Caluda's King Cake order has shipped!" Woohoo! So far so good, but the package never made it to Fedex. I watched the tracking for the next few days but the status never changed. Still "Label Created". On Lundi Gras there was no delivery. I called Caluda's - no answer. Mardi Gras - no delivery. On Ash Wednesday I sent them an email. The following day I got a reply saying that "Fedex must have lost it" What a waste of my time and effort and dissapointed children who didn't get King Cake. To their credit they did refund my payment promptly, hence the two stars instead of one.
