Customer Reviews

Very friendly staff, great donuts, not long of a wait so I'm ??% satisfied each & every visit...

This place is horrible and disgusting. The smell of smoke will get you. The video poker room is filthy. Got donuts from there and they were nasty plus the flies buzzing around them. I would give them a 0 stars. The health dept. needs to shut them down.

The best donuts I?ve had in a very long time. I really didn?t know what I was missing until I had a bite of the softest Bavarian cream filled donut with a nice crispy outside I mean it was amazing. It was like heaven definitely a French creation almost and I?m definitely traveling back to Chalmette to get these donuts.!

The best homemade hamburger, worth the wait. Great atmosphere, good donuts, fresh grind coffee. Glass mugs to drink coffee from a plus in my book. Don't let the looks decieve you.

Best donuts in the parish nowadays.

My boyfriend and I have made a few trips here from Alabama and let me tell you it is worth the drive! The donut holes are out of this world they're soft, fluffy, and there has never been a time we came and they were stale.

I got to admit I did not know up until about a month ago that Aaron's donuts and Barker's dozen are actually the same entity. This news has made me very glad. I live down in St Bernard village by the islaneous museum. Needless to say I go to Barker's dozen quite often and love their shoe soul. Now when I go up the road I know I'll definitely be stopping at errands every time to get the same good donuts that I get at Barker's dozen. Thank you and keep up the good work!

It was like somebody was in my own kitchen cooking but didn't know how to cook the food was not that good and have never been back.

i was refused service because of the person who makes the donuts dara has a personal problem with me after being friends with the owner for over 15 years. i would not do business with this place or Barkers dozen Donuts are not all fresh and a day old

Was there yesterday & 'ran into' people i hadn't seen in a while. Ms Eva is friendly & always has a smile! I would have given 5 stars-- had they had the chocolate cake donut holes i was craving (they are DELISH!). BTW- this is a donut shop (not sure what the vp is about).

Some nice ladies cooked breakfast for me. I needed it as I was energyless. Almost nothing was open restaurant wise or grocery store wise, but Aarons Donuts came to the rescue. No spot to tip either. I would have went to the atm and gave them cash...
