Customer Reviews

We visited here for some quick breakfast on a Sunday and had such a great experience. We are from Florida and Thomas was very welcoming. We got the grits, turkey sausage egg & cheese sandwich on a croissant, bacon egg & cheese sandwich on a croissant, and several donuts and drinks for $40. It was great pricing and the food was delicious. The donuts had amazing icing!!! They even let us sample their donut holes. We sat outside and Thomas checked on all repeatedly and brought us napkins and condiments. We had

If you?re looking for a delightful breakfast spot that hits all the right notes, Not Another Donut Cafe is a must-visit! I can't rave enough about their donuts?10/10 all the way! The star of the show for me has to be the strawberry glaze donut. It?s perfectly sweet, with a light, fluffy texture that makes it an absolute treat. But the indulgence doesn?t stop there. Their breakfast sandwiches are simply the best! Made with crispy bacon just the way I like it, they are hearty and satisfying. Each bite is pac

The doughnuts and breakfast sandwiches were both very good. The employees were very friendly.

Hidden gem - I went to give this place a try, and I didn't know what to expect. I certainly wasn't expecting to find my new favorite donuts in the city, but I think I did. The glaze are incredible, and I blueberry glaze were fantastic too. The staff was friendly, and the chef was onsite to answer my dietary questions (child with dairy allergy, and he told me what he can and can't have - at the time of me writing this, he was able to have the donuts so there is another plus - always check for yourself tho

Best donuts in New Orleans! They just opened up, so they had a couple of minor glitches in hardware (checkout). The apple fritters are good!! And HUGE along with the cinnamon rolls. Actually all the donuts are big! Went back 2 times!

The people were fast! The berry donut was the best take on a Chantilly cake I've ever had. My apple fritter had zero apples, but it was fully cooked (lots of places leave the center barely cooked). The worst thing was the chocolate milk. It was absolute trash. It was like drinking a diabetic meal replacement shake from CVS. Why would you sell 2% chocolate milk. Also, the other milk was 2%. I didn't see whole milk. Why is a donut shop acting like everyone is trying to cut calories? I would absolutel

Absolutely delighted with my experience at Not Another Donut Cafe! The doughnuts here are nothing short of spectacular?each bite is a perfect harmony of flavor and texture, with the perfect balance of sweetness and decadence. Whether you're a classic fan or looking to try something unique, their selection is simply unrivaled. And don't even get me started on the breakfast offerings?every dish is crafted with care, bursting with fresh ingredients that elevate the experience to a whole new level. What truly s

randomly visited and got a box of 6 donuts. I thoroughly enjoyed the glaze, they melted in my mouth but I also enjoyed the one that was frosted with chocolate and another that had pink frosting and sprinkles. I will definitely be back when I need another donut fix, thank you!

Oh my goodness?????? Donuts were sooo good, we got strawberry iced, choc iced cake and an iced filled jelly!!! They all had REAL flavor not just sweet!!! On top of great donuts we met Ms. Stephanie and was she a pleasure to talk with.

The owners and staff are all very friendly. This is a family owned establishment, and it feels like it as soon as you open the door. The vibe is welcoming and laid back, the donuts are fresh, the breakfast sandwiches are made to order, and the traditional King Cake is delicious.

Absolutely delicious! I didn't realize they also have hot breakfast options, like an egg sandwich & a grits bowl (with bacon or sausage). Can't wait to try those next time.

I was in and out in a flash with some of the best donuts I've had in the city.... ever. All of the people that I shared these donuts with exclaimed how amazing they were.

Was a fan of blue dot, stopped in this morning to check it out. The donuts are just as if not more delicious, and including some breakfast foods was a great idea. Cheese grits were great! Will definitely be stopping by again.

Such a change to the previous place, in a very positive way! It is bright and welcoming. Very clean. Customer service was amazing!! Apple fritter 10/10, strawberry glaze doughnut 10/10, will definitely return to try the other breakfast items.

Best donuts in New Orleans hands down. My kids and husband agree too! We?ve had their glazed, chocolate cake, and chocolate covered donuts, and they?re all delicious.

Fresh and wonderful donuts. Hit the spot for a mid morning snack.

Fantastic donuts, equally amazing owner and staff. Thomas and his staff make you feel like family when you?re in there. So glad we got a solid donut spot in the neighborhood.

Stopped in on a whim for my favorite kind of doughnuts. I was elated that they had them and even happier that they wer the most delicious and freshest chocolate frosted cake doughnuts I've found in a long time. There was a wide variety of frosted doughnuts in the case and they were bringing out freshly made breakfast plates too. Will definitely be back!

Highly recommend you check out this shop! Great spot for breakfast and a sweet treat. Food was delicious and folks were friendly.

All I can say is 10/10 ! Don?t walk run / everything is made fresh daily and the taste is amazing . Best donut cafe around .

Was across the street getting all of my tires replaced (bad) Ordered a (delicous) donut to try to ease the pain and got a second free (and equally delicious) donut (good) I'll be back...

Really fresh doughnuts even though I bought these in the afternoon

Everything was great. Glazed beignets were delicious and huge variety of different donuts.
