Top Donut shops in New Orleans, United States

Beignets were very tasty. Unfortunately, the smell at the entrance to the outdoor eating area was horrible.

We just did the take out order so I’m unable to rate based off that.

Again smell was really bad which took away from the atmosphere.

Had to stop here because it’s like a landmark of New Orleans. We made the best decision to arrive at opening time when it was practically empty. They look at you kind of crazy like you’re supposed to know that you just grab a table and sit anywhere… We were rushed to order and since it was my first time, I wanted to browse a menu, but you’re not really afforded the time so Chicory Coffee and Beignets it is. I was astonished at the heaping mound of powered sugar on top of the beignets, and spilling over the sides of the plate. It wasn’t overly sweet, and was hot and quite good, but it makes a mess if you don’t shake off what you can. The Chicory Coffee was fine. Nothing extra spectacular. Best part of the visit was the brass band playing outside. That was the real treat for an early morning!

Note: They only take cash and the nearest ATM is a block or two down the street.

This is one of the classic NOLA establishments. The beignets are fresh and delicious. It is a super busy spot so be prepared to wait to get a table. Cafe Dumont only accepts cash so don’t forget to head to the ATM across the street before you go

Great Coffee & Chikory, great French donuts. There is a long line up at front but don’t get confused, that is for take out. Just find an available table and sit. They will find you and take your orders.

We were able to drive up to it. Early that morning, we were leaving town. Moving on on our vacation and she wanted to get some kind of fancy pastry that they are known for. I forgot the name of it. But it was very good. Plus they had a live jazz Band playing Music. super cool.

Great beignets. Line does look long but moves pretty fast. Restroom also tends to form a line since theres only 2 dirty restrooms. If you sit down you have to order something as I was told by an employee. The beignets themselves are delicious and worth the wait. Definitely a must to when visiting here.

Fun place. Line will look long, but it moves fast. They will seat you as soon as a table opens, but it won't be cleaned. The mornings are so busy that it's simply a people moving operation. They WILL clean the table very quickly though.

Very friendly service. Has the New Orleans charm with the music. Definitely a place to visit. Price was reasonable. $4 for 3 Beignets

It was great to be able to come here and check this place out with the history behind it. Also the Beignets are delicious! Hot, sugary, a bit crispy. Definitely worth a stop if your nearby.
