Hank's Donuts offers a delightful array of fresh, fluffy treats with innovative kolaches and outstanding breakfast sandwiches. Hot coffee, selection of drinks, friendly staff and cozy ambiance make each visit a sweet experience worth savoring.

The guy who took my drive thru order was the sweetest! Busy morning but he was cheerful and kind. I had a large order and he even threw in some extras! Everything was great. I would recommend the Boudain kolaches and the mocha frappe.

We've been visiting Hank's for years! Yummiest donuts and the sweetest family.. Atmosphere only got 3 stars simply because we get it to go .! Support local... ????

Ordered pink glazed, got glazed Ordered boudin kolache got regular. Great food but darn... get the rigbt order?

Purchased a Cinnamon roll, breakfast burrito, and orange juice. All of it was so good. Customer service was excellent and friendly. And very reasonable pricing. I will be back.

Delicious!! Hot and ready for us! We ordered 7 dozen and they were the kindest to get this order ready fast! Thanks

Great service and wonderful donuts! Kolaches are yummy too. I wish they were sold everywhere!

There cheap. I pd $14 for 3 donuts,2 ham,egg and cheese croissant and 2 large cheese kolochies. But the weiners in the kolochies were very small and the croissants was alot of bread to. They use American cheese instead of motozerrella cheese on there croissants. The donuts are good.

Best donuts in town. Best prices in town over. All the best donut shop in all of lake Charles

The food is good but the smoothies are very nasty . Poor customer service . I went in to ask if I could trade my smoothie that I only took one sip of because it was nasty, I was very polite about it because I didn?t think it would be a big deal . The lady tried to tell me no because she?d loose another cup so I told her no I just wanted an orange juice. The man gave me an orange juice but even he had a little attitude at the window . I will not be back , I don?t care for poor customer service . Especially

Bavarian filled and strawberry filled donuts are fantastic. The kolaches were good but Happy's is still my favorite.

The boudin kolaches are awesome! The donut holes are awesome! My favorite is the cream cheese donuts

It was 10 minutes before closing time, needed two dozen donuts. Perfect, fresh and delicious!

First time trying this donut shop. I tried 6 different items, and they were all super delicious! The staff was friendly, quick, and the prices were very cheap for the excellent quality that you get. I will definitely be back. You rock, Hank!

Tried they're donuts and coffee, both were great. I highly suggest the glazed donut holes, though everything was great. Pro tip. if your gonna buy more than 2 donuts, get a dozen because its cheaper.

I have great Donuts, but at 4:30 not one donut was made and 4:30 is there opening time. I was told Donuts would be ready in 15 minutes so I sat and weighted. At 4:50 the Donuts still were not ready, so I just left.

Pulled around the drive through picked what we wsnted. The two super nice guys who took our order had it out to us nice, hot, and ready in under 2 minutes.
