Customer Reviews

This is a cute little donut shop run by awesome people. They make all kinds of fun, interesting donuts, kolaches, and other pastries.

Cleanliness and friendliness goes a long way. These people value their business, customers and provide a fresh variety of products. Will continue to stop by when I pass through. Appreciate you!

This place is horrible!! Maybe it was a bad day for them but the donuts tasted old and I could taste that the Greece was old too! The place smelled worse than the donuts taste it! It?s a shame because the lady there was so nice and pleasant, but they really need to do something about keeping fresh donuts and changing their grease. The only reason I did not go back inside and ask for my money back was because the lady was so nice. I read all the other reviews and they are not even close to what I experienced

I picked these up around 5 a.m., and you can get the glazed ones warm. They will warm up anything, though. They have a variety of kolatches which are good. Nothing beats a fresh warm donut. It's flavorful it' definitely has that vanilla flavor you look for in a donut and not greasy.

Nice donut shop. Really good kolaches!

The sausage koleches is not bad, but they have to warm your food up, but not at 5 in the morning, should be fresh and warm at that time, also the milk I brought is a month expired, so that is a minus star right there, if buying any package items from this place, make sure to check the expiration dates, other than that, their donuts and coffe still hit the spot, so 5 stars there and minus one for the expired milk.

Okay, I know, this place is supposed to be all about the donuts etc. but I have to mention the Boba "Bubble" Tea selection they have! Peach Popping Bubbles!!!!!!!! :))?????????????????????????? Wooo!?????????This place is now my favorite place of refreshments!!!! Thank You for your awesome friendly service as well a few mornings ago, when a friend of mine and his awesome friends recued me from being stuck in the parking lot with a flat tire:(( in a dress... Of all mornings, and absolutely no means of being

They have the best sausage egg and chessboard croissant ever. Just have to ask for a couple of minutes to warm it because they had to warm mine 2 times. Was kinda cold on the middle but overall they are delicious.

Very nice place. The people are always so nice and the food and drinks are always fresh. The shop is always clean and well kept. They are open early enough for me to go before work and late enough for late morning snacks. Highly recommend

4 stars because I have only been one time. What I got was good and affordable. The store had more than donuts and noticed some small items for sale. I will stop in again in the future!

Jalapeno cheddar kolatches are extremely tasty and great but 3 stars is given because they the best crispy donuts and they only close afternoon and it won't be easy get there in time unless the business hour change to neither 5 or 7 pm in the evening. Crispy donuts it's great but not good but not bad. And ill give 5 stars if business hour close changes towards somewhere in evening and not afternoon.

Love the family owned business, and the doughnuts and kolachies are awesome!!

Hidden little gem. Cake donuts have a crispy outside. Apple fritters taste great. My number one favorite are the sausage and cheese kolaches. Didn't love the breakfast burrito.

Always greeted with a smile and treated like family! I always leave feeling great about the service and everything on the menu is absolutely delicious! ??????????

I have been eating their doughnuts since they opened. They are so much better than Meches donuts as they are small, lighter, but pack so much more flavor into them without being overly coated in glaze. I take 3 dozen to work and within minutes everyone comes running and cleans them out while leaving the Meches or Cajun Doughnuts on the table untouched.

Best donuts in Acadiana and the cashiers are always so sweet and helpful. It's definitely a nice little start to any day. Highly recommend

Great doughnuts and a beautiful human behind the counter.

They were open Christmas morning only place I could find some breakfast and they weren't half bad for a little Mom and Pop Shop so I do recommend if it's a holiday go here if you're close to it

Clean, very friendly, good food. Love the giant and mini kolaches, and the cake donuts!! Add bubble tea with popping boba to the menu and I?d be so happy!!

Kolaches are divine! Especially love the minis. Donuts are delicious. Ladies are friendly. Store is clean.

Still a great place to stop and get some good doughnuts in the morning. Pro tip: When the nice lady at the front desk says "hot hot" she's not kidding.

Very good! Not as sweet as other donut shops. That's why I like them better. And I also like the Apple Fritters!????

Delicious. Girl was super nice.

Great presentation but the donut is thicker on the inside than I prefer

Almost any kind you want is here at an awesome price... Awesome quality and tste.
