I've heard the hype about beignets and had to try them for myself. I visited this location because…read morethey stay open pretty late. And because it's a popular tourist attraction. The venue was pretty happening as they were packed when I arrived. Nevertheless I was still able to find a good place to sit. This place was a total vibe. And I am one who doesn't normally like crowded places, but they had live music and it was just so comforting and chill. I loved the beignets as well as the coffee. I ordered the cafe au lait and honestly, I felt so sophisticated! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here. My first time trying beignets was amazing. Thank you for the experience!

I have been excited my entire life to eat here. I finally got to try the coffee and the beignets,…read moreand they did not live up to the hype at all. The service was great, our waitress got us in and out. The place is very high paced environment. They informed us after we asked for the bill that they are cash only. The ground was very dirty. There was a loud band that played outside the entire time. So its not a place to go and talk. Their coffee was VERY strong and when I say coffee is strong, it was. It actually gave me heart burn. The beignets were also sub par. I was disappointed in the lack of flavor. It really was just a piece of fried down with a mountain of powdered sugar on top. I was expecting their to be dipping sauces but there was not.

I started off with a honey butter biscuit, which was soft yet crispy on the outside and had a nice sweet flavor. The only downside was that butter wasn't included in the order, so it was on the drier side. I then got an order of pancakes, which were delicious. I love when pancakes have a crispy edge where it was cooked in butter, and these did that perfectly. The smothered potatoes were unlike anything I have had before and were flavorful and a nice side. I then decided to try the glazed beignets, which were a nice sweet treat to end the meal with. They were a little dense, but I still enjoyed them! I will definitely be back if I find myself in New Orleans again!

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.

Mr. B Donuts -- 5 I…read moremust say... Mr. B's has some of the BEST donuts I've had so far on the Westbank. And I only know of one other spot over there that can even compete with them! A true Algiers staple. Real hole in the wall energy, but don't let that fool you... they should be way bigger than they are. The donuts? Baby... Pillowy soft, moist, and fried perfectly. 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. Now I will say, they lean a little sweeter than your average donut, but that didn't stop NOTHING. Still tearing them up. 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. This is definitely my preferred donut shop. And the prices? Very reasonable. They really the front runners of the donut game from Algiers to Harvey. I said what I said. And on top of that, Black owned and operated by Mr. B himself. Yeah... go support.

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 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!
