Customer Reviews

Kara and her husband made my husband?s grooms cake king cake tower. Everyone absolutely loved it! Kara was very easy to work with and bent over backwards for us. Everyone is still talking about how old yummy the king cakes were! Especially my out-of-state family. Will definitely be ordering several king cakes next season!

11.10.24 came for the first time to buy some donuts... I was greeted and my order was taken care of by the Sweet Asian girl at the counter. I ordered a glazed donut: 1 out of 5 stars I can't explain it, but it just wasn't Sweet enough or didn't have enough glaze probably on it. I ordered a cinnamon roll: 1 out of 5 stars. The cinnamon roll didn't have enough glaze, either...and it lacked cinnamon. The pleasing item that I did try was the eclairs. There were only 2 left, and I bought them both. When I go

Best king cake I?ve had this year! Mouth watering good! And they do the traditional sugar topping ?? I will definitely be back for another! Not to mention chocolate stuffed donuts the have are addicting!

I got the plain king cake. This is honestly the best king cake I EVER had! Also, the staff were very sweet!

So I have been getting my king cakes from here along with all other confections to satisfy my sweet tooth since I moved back home . Pleasant service and delicious treats. Thee first time I visited it was the Sherwood store then I stumbled upon the Highland store and was surprised when I ran into the short lived prairieville one. Oh yeah I?m going wherever there?s a Thee Heavenly! One year I was so frequent the owner gave me a Zulu king cake (chocolate & coconut) how divine. Oh my! If you?ve never tried one

The donuts are AMAZING and I wish I could take a couple dozen boudin Kalashas back to our home state. The treats are wonderful, but the people running the shop are pretty awesome too.

Boudin kalatches.... Uh. Mazing. Also had to sample the sweet offerings. The eclair was huge and deliciously airy, filled with sweet cream and topped with a nice layer of milk chocolate. The apple fritter was sweet, cinnamony and mouth watering good, especially washed down with some strong dark roast.

Great friendly service but getting a 4 stars due to not offer bottle water, when I asked for tap water, it had no ice in it. I asked for ice & was told they didn?t have ice. They also had very limited selection of donuts. Do better owner/manager -how do you not have water!

Very kind staff Very good donuts

Good and hot donuts. First time trying it up has a little spot for the kids to play while having breakfast. Excellent advertising/marketing using the box!!

I went in with 2 kids and ordered 4 doughnuts and they would not serve us and they served 2 people behind me and processed an Uber Eats order. So we walked out.

Waited over 45 minutes for 2 sprinkled donuts and when asked they told me there would be an even longer wait. Donuts don?t even taste good.

Must try the cronuts! Fresh product and best flavor! Very friendly and helpful

Actually the only thing about the king cake I bought..was cajun boudin king cake i give it a 3 out of 10 rating. More bread than boudin as a filler. Maybe stuff it more to get a bite of the bread and the filling at the same time, yes bread not sweetened ok. waited a day to make and that's what I got. I reccomend getting a regular traditional king cake or any other variety this year in 2024

Great different flavor Kingcakes.We want lemon but they only had blueberry left. Order on phone first.Was amazing.

My only regret was I actually came into early, but all-in-all the atmosphere was extremely friendly!!! I also probably had the best blueberry cake donut I've ever had.They also offer two different unique flavors of fritters(blueberry &peach) which in BR anything besides Apple pretty hard to come by. I cannot wait to come back and explore more of the donuts that they offer

Great service, great donuts. The king cake was awesome.

I came in with my father and sister after a friend recommended that they had the best king cake in town. I couldn't be anymore satisfied than I was. Not just was the king cake delicious, they had the nicest people working there which reflected the owner who was amazing. We will definitely be back.

We always get these for delivery when we want a sweet weekend treat. Everything is so good and fresh. I love all the flavors of the cake donuts. I?ve never been inside either store, but they always call to make sure your satisfied with your order if they?re out of something.

There are always so many options I can never decide what to get. The staff is always patient and kind, and helpful to find the perfect choice! We are always treated like family when visiting, and the donuts are the best!

The best bakery in town hands down!! Creamy donuts melt in your mouth. I like the variety of different items and the customer service is spot on.

Their king cake is the best I have ever eaten. Very friendly and warm atmosphere. They make sure you are satisfied with your order and go out of their way to help you. Thank you ??

I ordered 7 king cakes for some clients of mine. Heavenly doughnut did an excellent job and having them delivered on time!! All my clients RAVED about how great the king cakes were too!! Thank you so much!!!

Such good donuts! They where so so good and the service was wonderful. The ladies thar worked this morning Friday Oct 20th, 2023 where amazing! Will be back!

Update 6/24. This place doesn't care about COVID at all. Employees don't wear gloves and use bare hands to open inside of bag and them put donuts in same bag. Won't be going back. In the past they've been good but not today. Went in store and no one came to help. Waited for a while but wasn't gonna wait forever. Who ever worked today (4/19) lost business for you.

I purchased 2 king cakes from Heavenly donut for the first time for Mardi Gras. I?ve eaten donuts and apple fritters from Heavenly Donut in the past which were excellent. But I am very disappointed with their king cakes. After buying numerous king cakes from Harvest Foods in Geismar, I decided to try something new....the fried king cake at Thee Heavenly donut. The cake was dry and with very little filing. I ordered the almond cream cheese and the LA mud. I plan on doctoring the cake with some extra

The donuts were good?the lady that checked us out was RUDE! Absolutely unnecessary. She informed us that she?d been there 30 years?yet she couldn?t count and tried to act like it was our fault (eye roll here) time to retire?ruined the experience and won?t return.

We ordered an almond cream cheese king cake that was out of this world. Our entire office raved over how moist and delicious this particular king cake was...highly recommend trying their cakes. AMAZING

Wonderful food and even better people!! The Boudin Kolache is great, the cheddar/sausage Kolache was super cheesy and tasty. The donuts were delicious. You can tell that they mix their own chocolate sauce. It is heavenly!!

Wonderful service! Love the bright colors and pictures. Our two kids throughly enjoyed their doughnuts they picked out. The benets are great and baked fresh when you order!

Stopped here for breakfast one day craving beignets. Today is my third day in a row going back. Really nice people and delicious food. Everything freshly made.

No dry, stale king cakes here! It?s like a donut and a king cake have a baby. Where have you been all my life?! So good! Go get one!

Overpriced, terrible food, and the service was an uncomfortable situation. It felt like they were over being hospitable and ready to close.

The donut seemed a little dry the kolaches we got were good but small the service was great and friendly we probably have good coffee

Delicious! The cinnamon rolls are huge, I recommend the one with honey icing. Great kolaches as well, we had the boudin kolache and it was fantastic.

I wish I took pictures , i went in, nobody was there, I walked around it was deserted. I went to get a king cake, waited 10 minutes nobody?s showed up, I walked all the way to the kitchen, there was nobody in the store. This is not good for business

Very friendly and helpful staff.

People are rude, only worried about money, hypercritical, the lie saying everything is homemade when its not they buy the bags of icing by bulk. There is also a roach infection in their kitchen, saw it myself

The best donuts and kolaches I've had yet. Staff is also very friendly. Prices are great as well as the coffee.

Excellent service and quality king cakes and donuts. Yum yum the pecan praline filled with cream cheese is my favorite.

The best donuts and king cake ever. You will always get service with a smile if you go here.

We order the tutle king cake and the cream cheese at my office. We are always satified. Best kingcakes in the south
