Customer Reviews

After Hurricane Ida hit everywhere in Houma has gotten some damage, we're all still rebuilding and recovering. Times are rough and you have to take it one day at a time. Recently, while working I have gone to Petersen Donuts, not once but twice. Having a reliable donut place that opens early & is ready to serve so quickly has been a blessing. After the first time I was so pleased that I told myself "that place is gonna have more of my business" and went the second time. Thank you Petersen Donuts for giving
