Apple fritters are the bomb. These are some of the best I have had. Large, crispy on the outside and soft and tasty inside.

The Saturday morning drive-thru line is long! Long line inside, too. The 2-3 people working were making it as quick as possible, though. Great donuts! Some of the old McKenzie's Bakery recipes, New Orleans classics. I didn't try the buttermilk drops, but they looked fabulous. I had the bavarian cream filled chocolate donut. I asked the woman if it was custard filled, and she said it's ~bavarian cream.~ Excusez-moi. Great spot to pick up some pastries for church, the family, anywhere. They were cranking out the coffee, too. Nothing super fancy here. They have some savory items on their menu that I didn't see anybody order. I believe most of the business here is donuts. Nice tables inside, but most people did take-out. The fruit stuffed turnovers are my Uncle's favorite. read more

Tastee Donuts - Had to put this thing in the microwave just to eat part of it. - Donuts Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

My friend and I stopped by the drive-through to get some doughnuts on our way to get ready for our friend's wedding. The drive-through option was super convenient, service was quick and the doughnuts were delicious. It was the perfect snack to have around all day for the bridal party to snack on while getting ready for our friend's big day! read more

Tastte donuts has been my go to donut shop my whole life. Hands-down, my favorite donuts in the New Orleans Metro area.

Phenomenal and tasty food, both savory and sweet options. I had my first Bearclaw donut here and I've been coming back ever since. Old style 90s service with low wait times and smiles on their faces. This has been my go to for morning donuts and coffee for over 20 years and I cannot recommend them enough. read more

I go every year to the west esplanade tastee donuts to purchase 4-5 king cakes at a time for multiple family members and I. I usually make at least 3-4 trips from Folsom, Louisiana which takes me about an hour and a half. We grew up on these king cakes so we look forward to this time of year. Unfortunately I will have to find a different location because every visit this year this location has sold me Kingcake's that went stale after 1 day. I thought the first visit was just a fluke and hoping that the next visit would go better. Well, this last visit after waiting 45 min in line to purchase non fresh king cakes will definitely be my last visit. I'm very disappointed. These Kingcake's also went up in price so paying $100-125 dollars for non fresh Kingcakes is non acceptable. read more

Such a delight to come to this location for my Tastee fix. I love the fact that out of all the Tastee locations, this 1 is fully serviced where everyone is ready & willing to serve with such a quick and upbeat personality. The aroma that hits you in the face as soon as you enter is beyond memorizing so much it makes you want to taste every single thing that has been baked. I highly suggest the buttermilk drops read more

You have not had a real donut until you get a hold of a 3 am donut fresh out the fryer. Let the church say amen!

I have always loved Kastle Burgers, but everything they make is excellent. They also bought McKenzie's recipes. Every time I visit family, I go there four or five times. It is one of the best restaurants in the New Orleans area!! read more

They make the best cream puffs and apple fritters. In general all their bakery items are great.

This Tastee doesn't have the huge selection like the one on Loyola Dr in Kenner but they are, nonetheless, fresh and tasty. They have an assortment of donuts from glazed to cake donuts. Then there are numerous varieties of each one from a regular glazed to a chocolate ice glazed with sprinkles or a regular cake donut to glazed chocolate cake donuts. I usually get a small 1/2 dozen box for $4.99. Kastleburgers and a few other items are also available here (chicken and fish baskets). You can't go wrong with a few Kastleburgers late at night when on an empty stomach. read more

Tastee has been in my life for decades! I don't remember a time before chocolate sprinkle donuts and I distinctly remember my first Kastleburger with cheese! It was a rush of addictive wonderfulness that I have revisited, with fervor, time and time again! This location takes me waaaayyyy back with the sugar dressed donuts of my dreams, McKenzie's favorites, and the staple slider Kastleburger. Good coffee, tasty tasty treats and sweet smiling staff make this my favorite Tastee of all time! read more

Since quarantine began, the drive through is still open, but my husband and I have been coming here a couple times a year for almost seven years. Though the restaurant area is dated, it has always been clean, and the donuts are always, well, tasty. And very fresh. The service is friendly and patient too. Lots of people usually go in with their kids, and the baristas seem used to the usual picky routine that kids do. It's also really spacious, so you really can bring your whole family and enjoy a donut and some breakfast. For now, I'm thankful that they are maintaining standards of cleanliness and offering castleburgers and donuts for those of us who still need our weekend fix. Seriously, thank you, Tastee Donuts! read more

I was once told my an employee of TD to NEVER eat here. With that being said, I can disclose that I wish I could eat the mini hamburgers here everyday. For many unnamed reasons, I'm sure I should not - but they're just that good. Not to mention, they are the closest thing you will get to a Krystal burger unless you want to go to Bourbon Street and spend an obscene amount of money on a tiny burger that shouldn't be priced at more than 50 cents. (I'm not driving to Lafayette for Krystal burger, would you?) Their desserts, while still good, have gone downhill over the years. You can purchase better desserts at Robert's, SAMs, Costco, or one of our amazing local bakeries if you feel like spending a little dough (pun-intended). I used to love their doughnuts, and I haven't found any other doughnuts quite like theirs. You should know that they're the thick kind, though. There's nothing wrong with that; people just seem to prefer the right off the conveyer belt, lighter-tasting doughnuts these days. The employees aren't the friendliest in town, but it's clear they don't have to be. This tastee has existed on this corner for as long as I can remember. My neighbors - past and present - have kept this place a staple in their lives. If you're around and need a quick, well-priced breakfast (not just donuts and pastries), give it a shot. You may just love their stuff. read more

I feel as though I've aged as soon as I walk in. I dont know if its the decor or the workers or the smell of stale coffee. On the other hand, they do sell cute New Orleans themed gifts. Oh and they offer alcohol aka cordials on the cheap read more

You guys the staff is so rude, they give out stale donuts. I purchase 6 buttermilk drops on May 4,2020. I always ask are hot donuts available. The guy said I have hot glaze just came out. I told him give me 2 glaze 4 buttermilk drops. I'm sitting in the car 5mins eating my kinda warm glaze donut; not hot but kinda warm. My familymember is eating the buttermilk drop hard as a brick dried out in the middle. I brought the buttermilk drop back inside tells the clerk just to give me the glaze because these buttermilk drop are stale.This guy gives me a whole attitude/fussing stating he can't resell those donuts. I told him whyyy would u want to resell stale donuts if I'm telling u they are stale.. This dude tells me I tried to tell u they were stale. I told him if you don't use keys words like they are not fresh/they are stale how would a customer know. Then, the cashier wants to act like he doing me a favor I'm going to change them this time. Y'all if these donuts are not fresh out the grease stay away from this place. These donuts are not worth your money or headache.. Then look at the donuts they give me;I don't know if that is chocolate or burn donuts.. This is the worst part the guy goes in the back to exchange the donuts the guy is cursing, fussing loud in the back about this situation.... This was horrible customer service. read more

My husband and I went here today to get some donuts. We stood there and there were 3 employees there. None of them even looked at us let alone wait on us. How terrible!!! What kind of people do you hire???? read more

I come here when visiting back home, mainly for nostalgic eating of the glazed/candies donuts and the heritage mckensie's stuff (petit fours and *king cakes*) of my childhood. Of course the petit fours are way too sweet to me now, but they are just as i remember them. The donuts are pretty good warm. And the mckensies king cakes are the best! Convenient location and nice to have a drive thru. read more

It was weird, we are a black family and felt the whole time we were being watched. You felt eyes on you the whole time. No one smiled at all. This is the treatment we receive after spending $25.00. It was not crowded. It was me, my husband, my son and daughter. We expected better. read more

AWESOME Staff!!!!! Very friendly! And a huge variety of items to choose from. Whenever I visit my hometown, I will definately visit this location! read more

When the donuts are fresh, they are great. At 9pm they are just good. Great variety and a super friendly staff. The Kastle Burger and fries is great as well. Plenty of seating, and some unique merchandise for sale as well. read more

You just don't know what you have until you lose it. And unfortunately, since McKenzie's no longer exist and Krispy Kreme taste like Krispy Dookie, Tastee has the #1 donut's in the metro. In my case, I am happy with their good o'l plain glazed donut. It's perfect in just about every way. The ONLY donut that has ever existed that could handle up on these was McKenzie's buttermilk donut. So if you re in NOLA and need something that's NOT Cafe Du Monde, this is your spot. read more

Was early for church, so I decided to stop in for a light breakfast with my 2 girls. Ordered 2 donuts 1 muffin and a specialty omelette. The food was great, the girls and I enjoyed it. The problem arose when the girl with the sandy red ponytail plat, brought my omelette to the table. She said "spinach omelette." I said "I had the specialty omelette." She said again "spinach omelette." I said "there is no spinach omelette on the menu, is that the specialty omelette?". She said "Spinach omelette, Specialty omelette, same thing!". She put the plate down and left. My 10 year old daughter then asked, "did she just roll her eyes at us and walk away?". I said "yep.". I told another employee what happened, and she said that she is rude to us too, and that she would tell the manager. That was comforting to us to know that she wasn't rude to us because we were the only "Black" family in the store, and that she is rude to everyone... I guess. I could say more, but I digress... read more

Our neighborhood Tastee. They close at 8 on Mondays. Went to grab kastleburgers at 7:54; gave them a call to give them a heads-up, we're two minutes away. "Oh, we're closed," says the guy who answers the phone. "No you're not. You close at 8. I'm in the car and I'm two minutes away." "Our clock says it's 8 now. We're closed." Great customer service. Not sure it's worth putting up with your Faux News television sets to get doughnuts from you anymore. Customers apparently just get in your way. read more

I love Tastee! Best coffee in the area! Love the donuts and pastries. The staff is super friendly and always willing to brew a fresh pot of coffee. read more

Apparently Tastee Donuts do not have babies in their king cakes. I bought 2 for my son's classroom and they were a bit disappointed. I didn't think to ask if there was a baby in there ‍. read more

My favorite donut shop. Good selection, nice staff and very clean. Have everything from donuts to burgers to cakes to bring to a party. Delicious. read more

Good fresh donuts!!! I had the Bavarian cream, chocolate glaze, glazed donuts with a cup of coffee and a breakfast platter to boot. The grits and biscuits were amazing, bacon, was see through and eggs were on the small side. Total was 11.25, kind of pricey read more

Donuts are amazing. Service is great and i love the chocolate sprinkle donut. love the atmosphere of the store

I know this isn't the BEST place out there, but there is something to be said for comfort food. This place is pretty quick and easy to get in and out of.... they have hot breakfast, not just doughnuts,even though I do like the doughnuts too. Also, they have good ol' McKenzie's turtles and king cakes. Oh, and the other night, after the parade, I ran in and got some Kastle burgers.. nothing hits the spot like a six pack of burgers and a couple of turtles to chase them.... makes my heart and my stomach happy, happy, happy!! read more

I don't know how people eat krispy kreme and rave about them. I am a cake donut girl and therefore I love the Tastee/McKenzies buttermilk drops and they will forever have a place in my heart! The Tastee burgers are also awesome and up there for cheap late night eats. I wouldn't recommend the McKenzie recipe king cakes though. They are a bit dry (even for a brioche style) read more

Very rude and unaccomadating. I had three really bad experiences at this location. Go to another location. They don't deserve your business!

They're donuts are amazing! Esp the apple fritters fresh out of the grease. Not a fan of the kastle burger. Friendly staff and cheap sweets.

Disgusting! If I could give negative stars, I would. I ordered their catfish special, which I had to wait fifteen minutes for. When I went in and saw the employees, I should've just made a beeline for the exit...completely and utterly un-hygienic. I wasn't expecting five star food for the price. However, I expected palatable food. Instead we received rancid fish and soggy fries. I will not return and will warn others to stay away. Their seventh ward and kenner locations are much better. read more

I have only had donuts from here twice, but both times they were fresh and delicious . I highly recommend the donuts from here if you want some place other than dunkin donuts. read more

Never order the beignets. They were delivered to our table. Covered in way too much powered sugar to disguise the fact that they were burnt. The inside was raw. These were the worst. The owner should scratch this from the menu. read more

Absolutely freakin disgusting will never set foot in here again. Nor will I ever recommend to someone ever again. We went in after a soccer game with my son one night he had done well and asked for doughnuts so we stopped in. While we ordered a young man had come from the restroom took the order and the money and we waited. While standing at the counter the same man who was now using a filthy rag to clean the counter and tables came back around the counter and started plating our food. French fries that he grabbed over the top of touching the entire top layer!!!!! I asked him nicely why did he put his hands all over our food he stared at me like I was an idiot. So I asked do you guys wear gloves. He said no and sat the food on the. Counter. Gross. The fries went in the trash and I asked for a number to talk to a manager.. Called several times and no one could give me an answer.!! So eventually I left it alone. But I will never go back ever.. Ugh read more

I've always been a BIG fan of McKenzie's growing up in New Orleans and mourned the loss of my favs (chocolate blackout cake, chocolate petit fours, turtles, cinnamon rolls, buttercream coffee cake with the coconut and pecans, brownies, pineapple delight cake,buttermilk drops) when the shop closed. After moving away from NO following Katrina and returning for a visit just recently, I was delighted to see the sign above Tastee's announcing the return of my McKenzie favorites. Never mind the less than friendly girl standing at the register, I had to have my fix prior to heading out to the airport. The buttermilk drops were passable. Very sweet but not as moist as I remembered it. The chocolate petit four was a far cry from the original. I recall the authentic chocolate petit four to have a green leaf on the top vs the dark purple star found on the new cake square. The frosting was dark brown vs light brown and shiny vs dull and sticky vs dry. I recall the authentic frosting to be more candy like vs sticking to the roof of my mouth like Duncan Hines canned frosting. I passed on the cinnamon rolls which had always been my all time favorite. The packages sitting on the counter had no appeal whatsoever. PURE DISSAPPOINTMENT. Someone got duped. Then again, you can't have doughnut people making McKenzie's favorites. I bet that the doughnut people have never tasted or have ever seen a McKenzie fav. Satisfied my curiosity but I'll continue to keep the memory alive and scrap the Tastee/McKenzie experience. read more

The drive-thru can not be trusted to sell fresh donuts! I complained so let's see if they are fresh when I return! Stayed tuned.
