Customer Reviews

My first time trying Cajun Donuts? the staff was super friendly and understanding that I had no idea what I was getting (which ended up being a ton) or what I wanted (which was almost everything). Product wise? so? I think donuts are all about taste. Some people like thick, cake, sweet donuts while others may like thin, airy, buttery donuts. For me, the donuts were good but were bread-ier than my preference. The Kajun Bread was absolutely addictive!! Of everything I tried (read velvet, bacon maple glaze,

Came in for donut hole day, pretty good lil donuts-not quite the consistency I wanted, but fun and sweet. Their cajun stuffed bread is so good! Would made the perfect meal for a roadtrip

YES THEY DO TASTE AS GOOD AS THEY LOOK! Chocolate Sprinkle Donut Holes (two dozen donut holes with extra chocolate sauce and a side of chocolate sauce) is a special treat that we order once a week from various donut shops in the area. We have been doing this for years? and by far there is one shop that stands out from the rest and that is Cajun Market Donut Company on Pinhook. For this particular order I called ahead because I was aware they would be closing in an hour and did not want to be of any inconve

We had a Donut themed birthday party for my 3 yr old. I called and ordered several dozen donuts and said 2 dozen donuts will just be cute girlie and colorful! Whatever yall want to do ! She said ok great! Omg! How wonderful they did!!! Everyone loved them !!

My absolute FAVORITE donut shop by far! Service is fantastic. Kolaches are spicy and addictive. Donuts are always super fresh and yummy. My monthly donut binge will always come from this spot bc they never disappoint ??

Had to try the famous king cake and I swear it's the best I've ever had and it's not all dry. Not traditional because it's like a huge donut twist but 10/10. Trying the boudin cake next.

I only had time for a quick bite while heading to the airport. Thankfully Cajun market was on the way and super quick! I?m so happy I had time to stop by. I grabbed a Boudain kolache and the last basket of beignets. The service was so friendly! The treats I got were very good!

Best donuts in Lafayette HANDS DOWN. Their pork buns and boudin buns are also 10/10, and their staff is an absolute delight to interact with!

Good service and nice place to sit and eat. Lots of Cajun memorabilia on the walls to look at. I had the beignets and a classic Community Coffee Iced Latte?. The beignets were good but more of a donut style than the classic Cafe Du Monde beignet. Lots of good choices of donuts and kolaches.

Breakfast Kolache was KILLER!!! Apple Fritter BITES are a must try! Two very lovely ladies waited on me, all smiles and good vibes. Will ABSOLUTELY be back everytime I'm coming thru Laf. 10/10

OMG BEST PLACE EVER . EVERYTHING WAS GREAT. ESPECIALLY THE BOUDIN/ SAUSAGE DONUT .CAJUN STYLE. From TEXAS.

I had an early flight out and stopped here before going to the airport and so glad I did. Had a cinnamon twist and a glazed that was still warm at 5:40 AM. They are delicious. How people working can be that friendly that early is beyond me but I appreciated it nonetheless. Great experience!

Best stuffed donuts, apple fritters. Offer Senior discount and paying cash. Cream cheese & chocolate stuffed donuts delicious. Serve some stuff with Ice cream ...have not tried yet. Check it out.

Did not care for Kaloche. Sausage taste cheap.

Sweetest staff ever and coming from Texas, the kolaches are amazing!!!

The best review I can give is this: the donuts were amazing. We arrived an hour and a half after opening time, and the donuts were still fresh. Service was okay. The lady at the counter was pleasant, though, we had to interrupt a lady in the kitchen a couple of times with questions who was not mean, but blunt. Altogether a great experience. If I am in Lafayette at breakfast time, I will go here again.

I have been to both Rue Louis location and Pinhook locations. To say your donuts are good would be the understatement of the century. They are so delicious, fresh and warm. My absolute favorite is your Maple bacon bar, oh my word that is good donut! The employees are always so friendly and helpful, it really makes your morning to have a smiling face greet you. I just moved down here from Minnesota and there are not real donut shops up there. Coming here and discovering your shops LIFE CHANGING. Thank

Most Excellent!! The girl that helped me this morning was absolutely great and the hot, fresh, dozen glazed donuts were Fantastic...so was the fresh blueberry cake donut!! I thought the decor was awesome. That was my first experience there. I will be back with my husband and 3 children often to enjoy this fabulous establishment. Thanks for the great service!

Best kolaches and stuffed bread in town. Donuts are up there, too! Great friendly staff. A+

Very very delicious food and great environment .

The staff here is kind and helpful. I came with my three children to get birthday donuts. One of the Easter designs had a plastic egg on top, and we of course chose that one. When we were checking out, the sweet lady asked if we wanted two other surprise eggs as well. My kids were so excited and I loved the special attention to detail. We came home with an assortment of delicious donuts, eclairs, begniets, and a pulled pork stuffed bread. Not a single crumb remained!! If the impending weather wasn't so ugl

We had the jalapeno kaloches and they were phenomenal!!! We also tried a variety of donuts; cake, eclair, apple fritter bites, and they were all fresh, warm, and so delicious. The staff was patient and helpful while we made our decisions. Will definitely be going back!

Literally walked in then walked completely out! WHILE WE WERE LOOKING FOR DRINKS MONICA ASKED US WHAT WE WANTED TO ORDER. IGNORING THE FACT THAT WE WEREN'T AT THE COUNTER READY TO ORDER.AT 10 AM IN THE MORNING EVERYTHING WE ASKED FOR WAS UNAVAILABLE AND SHE COULDN'T DO. A SIMPLE ICING ON A DONUT WAS A "NO". EXTREMELY UNHELPFUL. WE WILL NOT RETURN!! POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. TRIED CALLING THE SHOP TO MAKE HER AWARE OF THE UNAPPRECIATED RUDENESS, BUT MY PHONES BATTERY SHUT OFF. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF MONICA

You know. One of my highlights to coming to Lafayette on business was taking donuts from CD. Always a cheerful and delicious experience. Sadly today I was met with a very cranky personal who made little or no effort to communicate in a reasonably legible way. Perhaps she was just tired or sick? Seeing i am in sales, I understand the Importance of conveying a positive and pleasant attitude at all times. Its can be tough but it's part of my job. "Food" for thought.

Love the donuts from this place, so many choices to choose from. Lots of other things to choose from too. Very friendly staff, quick service and great donuts. What else can you ask for???? Will be back too again soon. Keep up the great food.

Excellent food, friendly workers, and very speedy service. I was in and out of the establishment within a minute. I guess the owners don?t pay employees enough, so customers are asked for tips. I don?t mind tipping when I receive an actual service, but when I am in a store for literally 45 seconds, it is both tacky and unprofessional to ask for a tip.

These are GREAT donuts! I'm not usually a fan of cake donuts because they're usually dry but the Red Velvet was amazing. The Apple Fritter holes were SO, SO good. Just the smell of the Boudin was most excellent. We'll be back next time we're in town.

Weekend special red velvet donuts! Since Meche?s went wonky these are my favorite donuts in Lafayette (aka most Meches-like, melt in your mouth when hot). Friendly staff and they also have breakfast sandwiches and kolaches

The BEST kolaches ever This is a wonderful small town local coffee and donuts shop. I've had some of the donuts but I tend to gravitate towards the kolaches every time I go. Each location seems to have a different unique kolache the pulled pork kolache at the pinkook location is absolutely the best. And the one at this location uses ground meat and some awesome mouth tingling spices baked with a crispy crust that is great as well. The jalapeno and sausage is in a realm of its own. They roll the kolache in

Amazing coffee doughnuts and kolaches!

Great donuts, poor business sense. Regularly get cold donuts. The last few times I've gone both, right when they open, and an hour after they do not have certain kolaches ready. We went just for that item. Happened multiple times.

I wish it was easier to exit the parking lot

The Broussard store need to have all donuts ready by the time they open. I have gone in at 7:00 am a couple of time and all they have is glazed donuts ready and today it was 7:30 and they didn't have half of there donuts done .this is not good for business at lease when it was the other place i could get anything i wanted at 6:00 am. so i am done with this store

Simply put. I visit every time I'm in town. No pics because the donuts don't last long enough. You'll have to try them to believe me.

The people I sent it to love it great job

They started out soo great, amazing donuts that i raved about. But recently (the last month or two) the pinhook location has started slipping. The blueberry donuts have been less like a donut and more like a heavy cake that don't even have holes. I got 1 the first time and figured it a fluke, the next time I got 2, and Sunday I got 3 and then a flat one. And for the first time ever, their glazed one tasted burnt. I threw away 9 out of a dozen. It's a shame because they're literally my only go to donut plac

The staff has a phenomenal attitude and truly makes my morning better. The donuts are perfect, the kolaches are amazing. My favorite morning pitstop!!

First visit was on 5/28/17 before 9am. There was a line in the drive-thru, but the wait wasn't too long. The little girl working the window wasn't pleasant. After giving me my order,she took the money and walked away..no thank you or have a good day. Not good customer service and the ONLY thing I ordered was cold. I drove out of my way to come here..FIRST AND LAST VISIT!

While on the Cajun Food Bus Tour our first stop was here, where we experienced the most tasty and flavorful cake donuts, apple critters, and boudin filled pastry! Good job!

Donuts are good and so are the kolaches. The stuffed boudin kolache was awesome. There are several locations in the Acadiana area to make it easier to hit one of them.

I got doordash for here bc I currently cannot drive. Dasher comes with my food, nice chick, and I go inside with it. I check the bag and I only got half my order. Im missing like a whole 2 donuts. I can't call here bc the number just does a dial tone, the person who gave my dasher the food said everything was in the bag, haven't even responded to my messages about my food missing.

Donuts are fantastic, people are nice, but the Kolaches are really not good. The "sausage" kolache is not sausage, it is just a hot dog. The ham kolaches are always dry and half the time the dough is not cooked producing a terrible smell. I really wish UL would sell meche's kolaches!

Ok variety, but good doughnuts and boudin. Way better than Guilbeau Meches (less greasy and fully cooked). Really nice people even if they don't have the kinds of doughnuts I usually like (devil's food)

BEST DONUTS EVER!! They have the absolute best donuts and kolaches, everything is amazing! They never disappoint!! Kudos to all the staff!

Their King Cakes are just So Fresh & Delicious Periodtt. Especially the Pecan Praline flavored one! It was Everything 4sure! Hands Down.

I love donuts that aren't stale the same day like Meche's. I personally think Cajun Market blows Meche's out the water, Willie has ruined the Donuts at Meche's. I only wish Cajun Donuts had Jelly Filled Donuts when they Open bc I get off of work at that time but they never have any ready! Please make Jelly Filled Early your loosing customers that have to suffer for Meche's go stale fast donuts!

Mostly every time I show up I purchase $75 to $80 of Kolaches. When I get there 9 times out of 10 there is not even a dozen of one kind cooked! I will say I drive over to Ricky Meche?s place and they have it cooked ready to go. I would go once a week but there is never enough cooked.

The food was hot and delicious and the workers were so nice they even gave me a towel to clean up the mess me and NY family made. I loved the restaurant and will always come back if I want donuts.

The pork stuffed bread is heavenly. I've tried a most of the donuts now and the sugar/cinnamon one is my favorite. It's light and cakey and very tastey. Highly recommend.

Went there at 9:30am on a Saturday. They were out of everything but glazed and chocolate icing donuts (and cinnamon rolls). No kolaches. Conversation: Me: What speciality donuts do you have? Cashier: None we?re sold out Me: Can I get a ham and cheese kolache? Cashier: We don?t have that anymore. Me: What do you have? Cashier:Well, it?s not ham and cheese anymore it?s turkey (maybe you should change your menu) Me: May I please have that Cashier: We?re out Me: Well what type of kolache do you have? cashier

Great business that caters to front line workers and uniformed personnel. Not to mention that their donuts are great, nice variety with Cajun kick in flavor everyone should visit and taste test.

Incredible. Sets itself apart with consistencies and flavors that don't imitate local standard Meche's. I love and crave Meche's but now I have a completely different option that I crave equally at different times. Good stuff in a cozier environment than Meche's.

I love this place and it's always good when I go. They will even add stuff to your donut if you ask them too. (I like mine with extra icing) lol.

Great donuts and baked goods! Clean, nice place, friendly staff waiting to serve u! Do yourself a favor....go visit them!!!

Delicious donuts and great service! Plus they have a great impact in our community with their support of Miles Perret Cancer Services

Meches way better and never run out of glazed donuts. Just went @ 8:45 this morning and they were out of glazed donuts? Unreal. Won?t be going back.

My son prefers Cajun Market. He loves that they aren't as overwhelmingly sweet as others. Selection is good but they sometimes make only a few of a special type.

Great donuts but the drive through like was ridiculous. Employees did not know what they were doing and it took forever. Not returning to this location.

The people were super super nice, knowledgeable and worked quickly to get our order in. The donuts and donut holes were fantastic but I don?t recommend getting any kolaches, especially the boudin or jalape?o boudin.

Savory and sweet Cajun goodness

I Love Cajun Market Donut Company!!!! I first went to y?all last weekend and been going every morning since. Y?all have the best donuts and omg the boudin kolache..

Even tho they forgot to give us one box of donuts over all everything was good. Just wish they answered they phone when we called for our other box of donuts

Went there this morning with my sis and we had the bacon donuts. They were so delish! Will be back for sure.

The donuts and donut holes are amazing..the kolaches ?? not so much..especially the spicy boudin one. But otherwise, I love this place

One of my favorite donut shops in town! Great spot for a quick breakfast with the kids!

Very good food and service. Very good customer service and willingness to help and coordinate every need. Will definitely be back again as this was my first time trying it out.

Wonderful apple fritters and fritter holes A little on the fatty side for my stomach but tasty. People are nice and the place is very clean.

Best donut around and lovely staff.

They were ok. There was too much oil on the donuts.

Amazing donuts & boudin kolache. And the loveliest staff!

Loved those kolachies and donuts. This will be a stop on our next trip(s) for sure and I will be trying g those flat apple fritters for sure !!

I went kind of early so only a few Donuts were ready. But it says it opens at 5:00 so I just expected all of the donuts to be ready and the lights to be on

Stopped by this morning and got the best sausage egg and cheese buscuit. The lady at the window was fast and friendly.

The best donuts in Acadiana. Just melts in your mouth! I recommend this place to all my friends & family.

Love the donuts but can't ever catch the warm light on.

Best donut place in town.

Best donuts I?ve had in years. Great staff as well.

Best breakfast I've had - try the breads or the chili cheese dog kolache ??

Tasty food, friendly employees and beautiful decorations. When you go, make sure you go inside and use the bathroom, it's so cute!

The workers were very friendly and polite. Doughnuts we?re fresh

Fantastic donuts with very friendly service. Owner is often present to greet and visit with the customers.

This is the 3rd time I get there at 10 and they are already closed! If you're door says open until 1130 7 days a week you stay open until 1130! Breaux Bridge Loacation

Great donuts and other baked goods. Great staff too. Hats off to them.

Fantastic donuts. Best donuts I have had in the area. Definitely recommend them.

My wife called and ordered ahead I got here but my wife called the wrong store and the lady was very rude about it when I asked if I can just buy it here This is the 1st time someone was rude at this store we come here a lot Now that I know there is a nother location I will never come back to this one 2 stars because of the donuts.

I get the chili dog kolaches every couple of weeks. Tried a number of other things, and I liked them all.

They made me a Boudin Kingcake for me at 11:15 when they close at 12:00. OUTSTANDING SERVICE! Above and beyond...

Ehh doughnut tasted stale and looked like it sat on the rack for a while, the boudin was just ok
