Customer Reviews

Everything they bake and sell here is AMAZING!! The people who work here are very sweet also. Stop by, you won?t be disappointed ??

I ordered delivery from this location. Nicely done. My delivery was on time and the food was superb. Thank you.

I had no problem with the taste of my order but was very disappointed in the quality. The attached picture is what they served as a boudin kolache. It ended up being 99% bread with a teaspoon of boudin.

First of all come very early around 6 am for fresh batch of donuts it?s super good and there very polite and quick service.

We ordered a King Cake to be sent on February 24th and arrive on February 25th for Fat Tuesday. Today, February 15th, it arrived all broken. To add insult to injury after my husband called and spoke to someone who took the call she said she would leave a note for the owner and he would call us back. He never did. We paid $60 for this cake. We are very disappointed.

Fabulous bakery items (any and all) along with great kolaches and beautiful and super delicious cakes of all kinds for all events. Items are fresh and made daily, everyday! They also cater and supply large events. Best food and friendly service. They appreciate your business, treat you well, and work hard. The owner is very hard working and wants all his customers to be 100% satisfied. Give Port Allen Bakery a try, you will love them!

Been here a couple of times in the past few weeks. Love the doughnut holes. Better get there early to ensure you get some. Always purchase the doughnut holes, dozen glazed and cinnamon twists. Didn't get the cinnamon twists the last time I was there. They are a little smaller than I remember and tasted a bit sour ( reason for the 4 stars). The ladies at the front are always so nice and pleasant to deal with.

Great bakery always got to stop in because they got great donuts and friendly staff always busy but they get you in and out quickly I feel five stars is too low because they are that great.

Very welcoming homestown bakery. Klochies, donut holes and sausage biscuit was fantastic!

I'd give this place 10 stars for its donuts, service, and unbeatable prices, killing Krispy Kreme in taste, friendliness, and value by far.

Got 1 sprinkle donut it was good bought 2 apple fritters they were rancid. Called shop and was informed by employee that the owners know they have problems I guess they do NOT care

This place is AMAZING! You can tell that these people love what they do. The customer service is above and beyond any other donut shop in West Baton Rouge that I have tried thus far. Donuts are fresh and delicious.Try the blueberry cake donut, you won?t regret it! ??????????

This place is AWESOME!!! Super cheap eats that can?t be beat! Hot donuts just literally melt in your mouth!! Service is great, always friendly! My morning stop every day!

Spectacular customer service!!! Made my son?s birthday perfect from a mom a few states away. Lady on the phone was super sweet and helpful! Thank yall soooo much!!??

Great service and donuts!!

Food is amazing! Always! I have been going here since I was 2! Love the place! I know the people personally! They have never let me down. Hard to pick just a couple of things when I go! Thanks so much for you guy's amazing service and good food. Also they cater! King cakes! Cakes! Cookies! Donuts and MORE

The Guy had Great customer Service and offered The Best selection on the king Cake . First Time every buying one and it?s delicious. praline and pecan .. Also I got 2 dozen of Donut holes ?????? VERY SATISFIED!! WILL BE BACK

I don?t know what is going on but it needs to stop or you will definitely loose customers. Doughnuts were dry and old not hot. Doughnuts should be cooked to order. Kolache?s are normally soft lightly baked and delicious. Kolaches were burnt and bread was falling off I just threw everything in the garbage because that?s what it was today, garbage! I definitely was extremely disappointed and will not be returning

Blink and you may miss it but for being a "donut hole in the wall" you won't find better donuts west of the river. Friendly and fast service. Always so nice to my kids(6&4) and thats always a plus in my book!

The food was really good and the staff was nice. The young lady waiting on customers ended up in a very loud, heated argument with a guy that walked up to the window using very vulgar language. The employee engaged herself in a screaming and cursing match with him, neither of them having any regard or respect for the customers that were forced to endure the confrontation. I always have, and will continue to stop at the RIVER QUEEN when I'm in Port Allen but from now on I'll always be on edge about the po

The donuts in the kolaches are pretty good here. they don't have a very large selection of stuff but what they have is usually pretty good. The glaze donuts are always fresh in the morning .

Ordered a Bavarian cream king cake box was marked the correct way come to find out it was another flavor came back up here to get it straight and the treated me like I was lying to them. They supposedly have one of the best cakes around br but one of the worst customer service around br. I won't be back hope the 16.00 last long time for them

The glazed donuts were fresh and hot and so soft and I don't even do glazed as much. If course the chocolate covered ?? donut was the bomb. Oh and don't forget a jalapeno kolache and a pineapple fritter.?? ??

I have changed my review because I have been ripped off twice. Once I paid more than what I should have. Another time I paid the right amount but didn't get the amount I ordered. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Check the price and the product! It gets 2 stars because the food is good . I challenge the owner to make it right.

Excellent biscuits and donuts.... Kalashi's...are made fresh some of the best I've had...always love going to this place I will be back

Great little shop for breakfast or mid-morning snack. Super customer service, always friendly and welcoming. You?ll have to watch close or you will shoot right past it. You?ll be sorry if you don?t turn around and go back! The donuts are excellent and the boudin kolaches are the best that you will get east of the Atchafalaya river.

Awesome beignets, glazed donuts, cinnamon roll & eclairs. People working were very nice. Made us a fresh pot of coffee also.

The young lady that assisted me was not wearing gloves and her bare fingers touched the doughnuts as she picked them up to place them in the box. Each time that happened, I had her replace the pastry. She was using paper to pick up the pastry but for some reason her finger and nails kept coming in contact with the pastry. She had icing all over her fingers from coming in contact with the pastry. She was nice but still, that was not good. I would have told her forget it and left but I told my family I w

The donuts are always hot and fresh they are truly the best, I will drive from neighboring Pointe Coupee parish just to get a box.

Absolutely delicious. I was covered in powdered sugar from the beignets and they were delicious.

Oh my goodness. This place is delicious and the staff is so helpful and friendly. This is where you should start your mornings with some delicious kolaches!

Usually good fresh and hot I get the same things everytime I go the bear claw and apple fritter. This morning they both were cold hard and not fresh. I threw them out.

Always a pleasure to visit port Allen bakery! Just the regular glazed donuts will astonish you. The best on the east coast , hands down!!!!

This is the best little Donut shop around & yes you can order king cakes however you want them. Apple fritters, donuts & pastries have always been great.

Awesome King cakes! Friendly service.

Donuts were better than Krispy Kreme. REAL homemade food.

Everything is so yummy!

Went there at the last minute. The ladies there were still polite and generous with my order.

Used to come here as a child,moved and came back last week and didn?t change a bit. Plus they have the BEST strawberry cream cheese king cake I?ve ever had.!

The gentleman were extremely kind and even served me a free donut while waiting on my order. Will definitely go back again.

I never miss the opportunity to get a dozen of the best donuts on the planet when I'm in the area. Terrible for my diet, but definitely a guilty pleasure for my inner fat kid??

Fresh hot donuts on a Saturday morning. Fresh kolaches, sausage biscuits, friendly people. What more could you ask For? Great place!

My absolute favorite place to get donuts. Place is always packed but they are super quick and incredibly friendly!!

The associate was very friendly and sweet... Not just sometimes but, every time i go there. Please keep her... Just not sure what her name is.

I love the brownies. I just wish they'd be back in stock. I pretty much come there almost every day. Lol

The glazed donuts where hot and fresh. Brought back many childhood memories of the bakery in a little town in Texas that we used to go to.

Best doughnuts.....period. I grew up eating here and at every chance I get I go there... Mmm.....donuts....

The lady at the window was so nice,she had a refreshing spirit that was appreciated so much.Thank you for your kindness.

Short hours, decent selection of donuts made daily, fair prices. Great stop for this side of the bridge!

I work at night, so when 4am rolls around and I'm nearby, I have to swing by for some great baked goods, such as the donuts and the kolache!

apple fritters are wonderful, kalaches are good, currently have multiple flavors of king cakes available right now, ready to go

Bought a king cake. It was stale and had little to no filling. For $20.80 for a small king cake it was terrible.

Great staff and delicious food. Donuts and boudin kolaches are my favorite!

They make the best pastry in port Allen and they have a wonderful fast drive though

The donuts are delicious but the wait in the drive thru was terrible. Customers waiting in line left because of the wait

Always come here at like 6am for Donut Holes, Kolaches, and Lemon Donuts. Its the best locally.

Love their donuts and the best worker they got is Rachel.

Quick grab and awesome customer service, delicious donuts ??
