FRIDAY NIGHT TREAT ?????????? This is a bubble waffle in peanut butter flavor and it?s a fantastic treat! Doughnut has new hours and stays open until 6:00pm Tuesday - Sunday. GIT YOU SOME! It?s large enough to share with a friend. Peanut butter Peanuts Vanilla ice cream Hershey?s chocolate bar Oreos Whipped cream Caramel Syrup

Love this place! My go too for breakfast and lunch

Fresh donuts ?? with offering kolaches, burritos made fresh at order, coffee, boba, smoothies, bottled & canned drink.

This is hands-down, one of the best restaurants I?ve visited, since I moved to Lake Charles. Mr.Chaney and his mother are very down to earth and have an interesting and tasty menu selection. Their Vietnamese coffee has become my newest addiction!!! Starbucks doesn?t even come close to the perfection of freshness and exotic flavors like these folks!! I recommend this highly to anybody visiting, or staying in the Lake Charles area!!!

Five plus stars! These people try their best to be friendly and give good service. I've never had to wait more than a minute or two, and that speaks well that others are patronizing the Doughnut Hole. I've been a huge fan of "that place" that everyone in Lake Charles considered THE BEST place in town, but let me tell you, the Doughnut Hole's donuts beat them hands down! Super nice staff! I used to drive way out of my way to go to that other place, but am so glad I can get as good, actually better, at the Do

This is by far THE BEST donut shop in our area. Not only is their food the most amazing taste experience, but their menu offers so many more options than every donut shop in our area. I would give them more than 5 stars if there were a way. I?ve read complaints about the way people were treated poorly here, but that has not been my experience thus far. In fact, my customer service experience has been quite the opposite. Also, (I am scared to let you in on my favorite item because it may become so popular th

Awesome service great doughnuts always reliable friendly service

Always have the best breakfast burritos amd donuts. Super friendly people here, i would recommend the best donut / breakfast shop in Lake Charles. 10/10.

Always good and they are always polite

Went there 12/12/23 in the morning. I'm the only customer, I pull up to drive thru and the guy had his back to the window and the lady was just standing there. After a minute I drove off and while going up the street he was looking like oh snap I had a customer!! The bell chimes to let you know you have a customer!

Not only is the owner of this establishment extremely rude, but he refused to issue a refund after over charging me this morning and slammed the window in my face. This morning, Friday March 31st my brother and I ordered breakfast from doughnut hole per usual. As some of you may know, we are in the season of Lent, therefore we can not consume meat on Friday?s. While we were in the drive thru my brother accidentally ordered a ?sausage egg and cheese croissant? and I immediately corrected him. He then told th

Service was quick, and the food was good. I look forward to trying out some of their other stuff when I go back!

So good always and open early!!

Great location for downtown residents. Everything in the case looks clean and perfectly made. We tried a kolache, a sausage, egg, and cheese croissant, and the donut holes. Everything was delicious and the service was fast. Will return on another cheat day.

Best fresh coffee and breakfast crossaints with egg, bacon, cheese ??

This is my favorite donut place!! And the lady that worked on Monday January 16, 2023 is an amazing cashier!! She was super sweet and amazingly helpful!! Thank you for making my favorite donut place even better!!!

Love it! Me and my family go all the time and always leave with a big smile on our faces. 5 stars all around! I definitely recommend this for your daily morning stop.

Cashier on phone via headset. Very little attention to me and my ordering. Received cold burrito after asking her to heat. She did and seared the paper to the tortilla. my first visit here and last. A little customer service goes a long way.

Please, please do not buy from this place it?s one thing to have a business and make money but it?s another thing to know how to have customer service and speak to people. The owner actually hung up on me and was extremely rude to my kids as well. What makes it so bad is from day one since they open my entire family and friends supported this business in the community.

The food have a funny taste, very bad order coming from the box they gave me! Cashier wasn't very friendly I had to speak to her, I'll never come back to this place again 8-25-22

Love their jalapeno kolachie! People who work the drive-thru are always friendly. They have breakfast sandwiches and burritos and even a lunch menu...and, of course, the doughnuts are delicious!

I love the Barbecue kolaches. I wish they would sale Barbecue Breakfast burritos.

I didnt even want to give this place one star! It was discussing! The donuts were gooey and I know donuts are sweet, but these were just too much! Then to top it was the bags and box that my order came in stunk so bad!! It was discussing!

Cold every product at 530am. They microwave the sausage items in front of you.

It's nice to have a donut shop around the corner, but I enjoy the service here. I always get the sausage burritos. The service is great and always friendly. And the burritos are amazing.

I guess I'd have to say this place is, well.. FANTASTIC. If I was out at 2am and they open at 4:30am, you best believe I'm staying up. The people that work there are awesome They truly have the best donuts.

Really lovely doughnuts tasty and fresh. I just wasn?t 100% certain on the coffee.

One of my favorite donut place in Lake Charles. I highly recommend the burritos or breakfast tacos are amazing. I get the chorizo, add potato bacon

Great service, very nice people. Couldn?t ask for a better spot to grab a donut or a burger during the hurricane recovery

Had the chorizo breakfast burrito and it was great!! Will definitely be getting another!!

Had some amazing kolaches, definitely suggest getting the bbq kolache they had it was really good.

Great breakfast food, delicious smoothies and all fresh, always come here for breakfast and have a great service

The honey dew smoothie is a must try and the Kolache?s were very good!

The food itself is wonderful and there's almost no wait; it's relatively clean, for a donut place

They microwave all their food. Their coffee wasn't drinkable. I wouldn't go back.
