Customer Reviews

Omg! WOW! I?m from TX and pulled in to get some treats for customers and couldn?t be more impressed with the service and food! Great down home, bakery! Do yourself a favor and grab the crawfish croissants! Or grab anything! This place did not disappoint! I will make sure I stop there every time I come into town! I would leave a picture of the croissants, but we ate them all!

Not much to say on the atmosphere it is a small bakery. The woman taking our order was very nice. I got two king cake ?slices? from here. Cream cheese && cookies & cream. The bread tasted stale and old. The cream cheese tasted extremely sour & off. For the cookies & cream the Oreos chips on top were soggy and you can tell are old and same thing the bread was stale. These clearly needed to be thrown away. They were not fresh but this business still wants to make a profit. I don?t recommend. #kingcame

We always enjoy delicious donuts. At one time I lived nearby and have them often. Moved out of state so it's been a long time. Not much different at all. Bought various products and shared at a party. The favorite was the maple and nut glazed cinnamon roll. I will say the chocolate filled donut was not at all what it used to be. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely try to return. What can I say... It's delicious donuts ??

Had such an amazing experience coming to Delicious Donuts & Bakery. Such great customer service with amazing beignets and donuts. Came from all the way from Houston to the casinos and decided to get a beignets and this spot came up with great reviews! Stoped by and everything was delicious and totally recommend for anyone who wants a delicious treat ??

Had an amazing experience at Delicious Donuts and Bakery. We came from Texas on vacation and all we wanted was a King cake to take home and this place delivered in all aspects. Customer service was AH-MAZING and they came in clutch with their delicious options. They have so many flavors to choose from and Paula even offered to give us a naked king cake to take home and freeze to save for Fat Tuesday. 10/10 definitely recommend!

A true mom and pop donut shop. It?s the best donuts I?ve had in lake Charles

Stopped in for some king cake. I was amazed at how many different king cakes were packed in this tiny little shack. I chose a pecan fudge Bavarian small king cake, and it was delicious. Definitely will return when we are back in town.

Whenever I go to Lake Charles I usually stop buying crawfish donuts. I m not crawfish person but I eat occasionally. This place is little dinky place but has character.

I have eaten a lot of donuts in my life. This place is the best by far. Don?t let the outside fool you. What is made comes from love for what we are hungry for. For over 30 years Paula and family have made something that will keep you coming back for more even if you have to order and have it FedEx shipped to your doorstep. They have survived everything that man and nature has thrown at them and come out on top. The customer service is one of a kind. You are greeted with a smile and taken care of as though

This little mom & pop spot is awesome. I absolutely love the beignets. Donuts are just as delicious! Very nice staff.

Great king cakes with a variety of options, including savory king cakes. The kolaches are tasty, too. We got a frozen boudin king cake to bake later & traditional strawberry and cream cheese. The strawberry cream cheese is comparable to New Orleans.

I was driving to Lake Charles yesterday and looked up bakeries that sell King cakes and came upon this shop. As soon as I got into Lake Charles I drove over there to get one. WOW! What a selection! I decided on a traditional cinnamon one and brought it to my office today back in Texas. It was fantastic and everyone loved it. Delicious. I would definitely go back to this bakery. Highly recommend.

Delicious beignets! Great service, totally would recommend!

King cake was absolutely delicious my wife and I really enjoyed the cream cheese and the blend of the bayou ??????

They concentrate on the donuts, not their sign! Hand made the old fashioned way right in front of you. Delicious, indeed!

Open early and stay late into the day. Good donuts, especially the cherry donut holes and chocolate donut holes. They also sell kolaches!

We love their Red Velvet King Cake!!! Picked it up still warm and even better the next day!!

This place is so cute, the service was excellent and the donuts and kolaches even better. Will return for a king cake very soon.

Best King Cake i have had in 2 years!! i bought 8. selections were amazing. Jambalaya KC was on fire for dinner! strawberry and Cream won the desert taste test. cant be a traditional though.

Family owned business with fresh donuts and exceptional customer service!

This was the best donut experience I've ever had. The gentleman behind the counter was super friendly and helpful. I got a kolache (kalatchie)--I can't remember the type, but it was the best kolache I've eaten (he said he eats one everyday). I also had a cake donut, Frootie Pebbles donut, and 2 more donuts. All of this was only $10. If I'm ever back in Lake Charles, I will definitely come back to Delicious Donuts!

Once you have their KING CAKE, you will be completely in love with them. ??????

We get donuts here every time we are in town. So delicious, especially when warm. Only sad that they aren't open every day.

Delicious Donuts is a South Lake Charles institution: A family-owned, community-serving business that has been serving great donuts and other breakfast favorites for decades now. I no longer live in Lake Charles, but when I do, Delicious Donuts is on the "must-visit" list, up there with some of the most revered eaters in the city. A bag of donut holes and a couple kolatchies recharge the soul.

This place is amazing! Best glazed donuts I have ever had fresh and still warm. Bacon egg and cheese kolache was so satisfying, there is magic in the bread they use. Locally owned hidden gem! Will definitely be back!

Man the red velvet donut ce? bon! I miss home?.

This place is one of a kind. The various types of kolaches, donuts, cookies, and king cakes are the best ??. My Autistic daughter is a very picky eater, and she loves the donuts holes! If you need donuts for church, work, or home, I highly recommend this place.

I recently made a trip to Lake Charles, Delicious donuts were always on my list to go by, and purchase what were the best donuts ever, when i lived there. But my last visit there, on Jan. 3rd 2019, i spent over $40 there to bring donuts back to N. Texas. I was do dissatisfied and let down, they were down sized, heavy, and more expensive! Not worth it, I won?t be going there again! I really had to throw some away, my family wasn?t impressed. Sorry Paula, your quality in donuts has gone way down! I must

I went to delicious donuts at 6 am on 9/25/23 and had a terrible experience. I ordered 2 packs dozen donut holes and a dozen 1/2 and 1/2 glazed and chocolate. Not a single donut was even warm. When i asked why the donut holes were cold she said she didnt know. I asked for fresh donut holes and she said no. The only reason i went to get donuts was for fresh donuts and delicious donuts failed tremendously. Seriously dont go

The whimsical donut toppings are adorable and unique I mean who would've just thought of putting cereal as a donut topping. It's colorful, gives texture change, and combines two well admired breakfast choices into one. Definitely has kid approved eye appeal

Small little cute shop. Old style full of character. They treat you like family. Everything we bought was delicious.

Very delicious King Cake. Card machine wasn't working but he let me take the cake to my rv and come back with cash to pay for it. He also sent me away with complimentary donut holes for the kids. The donut holes were also very good. There are many different fillings you can choose from for a custom king cake. Great service. I highly recommend this place for donut, cake, and/or other baking needs!

Lovely Bakery with a small-town homey feeling. Large selection with many options for your sweet tooth and boudin Kalotchies like no other! Customer Service is always quick and friendly. They remember my name every time I walk through the door and I'm always greeted with a friendly smile and Delicious Donuts!

Stopped on our way home to Texas to get a king cake, everyone was so sweet and friendly. It's a small shop but you can tell everything is made with love and care. Definitely coming back again!

Best donuts in all of Lake Charles

Oh what can I say this place is fire the beignets were so good damn and the the bayou blend kolahettes fack the best can wait to go back great service nice people.

Out-sized variety for such a cozy location! The 500-lb gorilla of donut making. Best donut holes we've had (stellar glaze), and had never heard of fried kolaches until here but now we're hooked. Our kids are ready to move to Louisiana for this place alone. Absolutely amazing!

Excellent customer service! King cake & kolaches were delicious! Stop by if your in the Lake Charles area you won?t be disappointed ??

Probably the best king cake in south Louisiana. Right up there with Randazzos & Dong Phuong in NOLA. Kolaches are bonkers. Absolutely recommend.

Bought a King Cake there. It was delicious. Will definitely be back for more. I would have taken a picture, but we wolfed it down too fast.

We stopped here on the way home from Key West. We needed to take some beignets home for our grandchildren. Not many are open on a Sunday. We went here it was a small shop, drive thru only, the girl was so sweet we stopped by and picked up a dozen, the best beignet?s I?ve had! Stop by and support this quaint lil shop you will not be disappointed.

If you're looking for the best kolaches in town, you must swing by! The shrimp and jalapeno was my favorite. I'm used to boudin, but Delicious has so many varieties that fit my southern palette. There's nothing better than being able to watch their creativity come to life making the donuts. This is my go to for breakfast any time I'm in Lake Charles.

I?m not one to give bad reviews but I was very disappointed this morning.Came through the drive through Early about 7:30 and asked for Hot donuts and they gave me room temperature and to make matters worse... I asked for two Kolaches which were ice cold and stale and when i asked if they could heat them up.. He said I would have to get out the car go in a warm them up in the microwave myself (Mind you I had two small children with me) and I was on my way to church and in a rush and little did they know we b

Delicious Donuts is my favorite place in Lake Charles for bakery items. And my customers love it when I bring anything from here. Can't wait till they allow walk-in again. I don't really like just driving thru the window.

I?m huge on customer service which is the only reason I?m leaving a 2 star rating. The older lady who took our order was rude the minute we walked in the door. Not sure if it was because we were LGBT or brown skinned, it was clear we were being mistreated when a white woman walked in behind us and was giving superb customer service. She was even telling her to join a raffle for a free king cake and we weren?t even told to join the raffle. It?s clear she just wanted us to leave. Considering we tell all of ou

They were by far, the best donuts and donut holes me and my family have ever had. So glad to have found this place! Prices are fair, and choices are plentiful. Customer service was great! Will be going back!!

Not enough words to describe how great this food is. I've never seen such a selection at a donut shop. Great Regional selections like boudin kolaches and King Cakes. They even have mini king cakes. Incredibly fast service for such a small place! And they turn out so much product! And they do it all with friendly, courteous service.

I am so glad I called my King Cakes in, they were wonderful. I will be driving from Texas every year now for these. The cakes were moist, the filling was wonderful, not to mention they were decorated beautifully. Must also get the crawfish and three cheese kolaches, just as amazing.

Best donuts in town! Perfectly thick and sweet. Also, they have a lot of options. I love the beignet and chocolate covered sprinkle donuts (big recommend). Don?t leave without trying the kolaches! You?ll be back for more :p

I was super excited to find an American donut place so close to my house, but unfortunately the donuts have tasted terrible every time we've tried them. I know a lot of colleagues that come here to buy their king cakes, but I personally haven't tried them because of the not so great experiences with the donuts and kolaches.

I don?t understand why anyone would choose to work in customer service if they do not take pride in serving their customers. You cannot treat one customer very bland and transactional as to rush them out of your store and then treat the customer behind them with the utmost respect and pleasure and tell on customer about a promotional drawing but not the customer directly in front of them. That is profiling and unacceptable. The people you disrespected are a well known couple which is what sucks for your com

I adore this place!!!! As a migraineur, I have to watch my salts and sugars, but these kids people looked on bottles for me and have vowed to avoid things with those triggers. I can have their baking, and that means more than they will ever know. Their people are patient and kind despite being a rather busy establishment.

Absolutely love this place, locally owned and family managed. 100 recommend this place to anyone!!!!!!

If you need a quality taste of lake Charles culture this is a must first stop for your coffee in dough nuts to start your day! Always an excellent experience every visit and the beignets are to DIE for.

They used to have a large variety of specialty donuts like chocolate icing filled eclairs and white icing filled donuts that set them apart. But now you can?t go inside and pick what you want. It?s drive through only and without the variety they are not as good as the other shops around. Disappointing!!!

Boudin and the Bayou Kolachies are pure deliciousness!

Great donuts and kolaches. Strangely, you can get peppers in all kolache varieties except sausage. Finally open again for inside shopping!

Really good but they are more of a pistolette than a kolache, when we ordered. There were egg bacon and cheese pistolettes, boudin, sausage and seafood. Different, delicious.

Usually when I have something bad to say I keep it to myself but a coworker suggested them to me so this was my 1st visit to this donut shop and I probably won?t be back! I got there when they opened at 4:00am and the donuts were extremely cold and stiff seems like I got donuts leftover from the day before! Even if they were made at 2:00am they should not have been this stiff!

Love this place! Always good and fresh!

The service is amazing and their food is to die for!!! It makes me glad that I live an hour away or I would go there WAY more than I should. Their boudin king cake is well worth the money!

Yes been there 2-3 times unfortunately no one there to conduct business on each visit most recent was on 04/15/2024 about 6:10am

Just tasted the bananas foster king cake and almost got a little faint. One of the most decadent things I've ever had and EASILY the best king cake in town. Would give it 10 stars if I could.

This is my favorite donut shop hands down. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to satisfy the customer. Their donuts are hot and fresh everything I go there.

Great king cakes and kaloches

The sausage with peppers kolaches were absolutely amazing. The chocolate filled King Cake was one of the best I have ever had!

"Scrape" king cake was SOOOOOOO GOOD!

This donut shop had the best customer service. If I'm in lake Charles again I'm going to Delicious Donuts! It's all love for them!

The absolute BEST King Cake I have ever had in my life!! We actually make a special trip from Houston every year "just" to get one!!

The Red velvet was fabulous, beignet was my favorite in Lake Charles and plain glazed was excellent. Service was friendly and welcoming.

This is my favorite donut shop. Their king cakes are my favorite because they put a lot of filling in each one. The best king cake they have is the boudin king cake!

The donuts were okay, i have a feeling they would have been even better had we went when they first opened instead of after lunch.

My favorite donuts in town! They've been around since I was a kid and have consistently been great. Awesome service, friendly.

Great service! Fresh Donuts and coffee can be head here whenever they're open... Bar-none the BEST Donuts in Lake Charles!

The owner is rude to customers and employees. While I was there an employee was trying to get his paycheck and the owner didn't want to pay him. This employee was one of the nice ones. Now I know why they couldn't keep employees.

We have purchased kolaches, donuts, and donuts from Delicious Donuts & Bakery for many years. Always fresh and delicious!

Excellent king cakes and kolaches! ??

Great donuts a little high for me compared to other donut shops that are just as good but overall I get this place a 7 out of 10

Such a beautiful beautiful place with amazing donuts. I love how they made daily fresh donuts. Will be back again

Best place to get donuts for me lol and so many other items too many to list but if you haven't had the pleasure please dont wait!!

was handed a bag of frozen donut holes and told they couldn?t heat them up, how do you sell doughnuts but not have a microwave.. i am now crunching on my ice cubes of donut holes

Great kolaches.. I had blend of the Bayou... Crawfish, shrimp, and imitation crab with cheese and jalapenos... Delicious

Amazing! I love everything here .... The food the service the location... Not even 1 complaint from this customer!

Best King Cake ever!! We drive 2 hours from Texas just for their King Cake. And their kolaches are awesome!

This place is great, I?ve only had the doughnuts and cookies but the Kolaches look amazing too.

All my king cakes come from here. any cake on the menu is going to have you coming back for another.

The owners is a mean person. I asked if he could warm up our donuts and he got mad and told us to come if we wanted them warm. We wont be back.

The King Cakes are amazing. Every time I go I try to get a different kind and all of them are great.. ??
