District Donuts & Coffee Bar

What a vibe! Loved everything from the service to the amazing coffee and food options! Do yourself a favor and skip Starbucks for a local gem like this. Can’t wait to go back. Kolaches, donuts, and coffee …..life is good.

Very nice, upbeat coffee and sandwich shop. Very friendly staff. Very good biscuit and chicken sandwich.

TOURIST BEWARE! The food was good,BUT my bacon and chozio breakfast taco had NO chorizo on it at all, ONLY bacon, I ordered this FOR THE CHOZIO. I ordered 4 doughnuts, and ONLY GOT 3. And this place isn't cheap. This would've been a 5 star review, forgetting a main ingredient in a dish and charging me for a pricey doughnut that wasn't there is giving ick. I am super disappointing since I'm from out of town and they have no way of making this up to me or my guests. The Vietnamese coffee slush was good, tho for what it's worth🙄😒

We visited as tourists after finding favorable reviews on Yelp. The staff was friendly to explain their menu and answer questions, as we arrived during a mid-morning lull. We loved our breakfast sandwiches and grabbed a delicious donut to-go. Highly recommend. Don’t think, just go!

Great coffee, pastries and service. Loved the cinnamon roll, espresso and cappuccino. Although a tiny place, great to hang out for a few minutes and enjoy the brews. The only issue is usually parking so drive carefully and don't fret walking a bit to get there, it will be worth it.

I would hazard to call whatever I had a donut, but whatever you would call it, was certainly delicious. The sign could be hard to spot and the exterior is a little-- on the intimidating side-- but through that door is a magician's workshop. The staff make no compromise, so when I thought of ordering something as innocuous as a ”cinnimon roll" I had no clue of the blowtorch that was about to be used (Awesome.) In summary, this place sells pieces of art. Bonus: coffee is great too

Very good customer service. However, the cinnamon sugar donuts were just ok. The pecan pie donut was good - it just tasted sweet without a lot of other flavor.

Pricey. Felt the donuts were stale. Especially the lemon meringue filled donut. Two out of the four of us liked what we got!

This place was a short walk from where I was staying. I checked the reviews and me and my wife decided to give it a try. The building is small but nice inside. I read about bad service, but did not experience this. We were greeted warmly and even joked with the barista. My wife ordered salted caramel latte and I ordered the fresh squeezed lemonade. She enjoyed her latte and said it was good. My lemonade was AMAZING! We also ordered a glazed doughnut which we both found tasty. The bacon, egg and cheese kolache was also good.

On our way to the zoo, we stopped for a quick snack. We tried the cinnamon roll and a couple of drinks. Unfortunately, we were not huge fans of the cinnamon roll. The flavor was a little strange, and the texture between the hard sugar glaze--think cream brulee--and the slightly undercooked dough was off-putting. The drinks were good. The service was fine, and the order was ready quickly. It would have been nice if they had wormed it up a little more, which might have fixed the texture issue. There is nowhere to sit inside at this location, but a couple of small benches are attached to the outside of the building where there is some shade.

I was in the mood for a cinnamon roll, and a quick search online told me that District Donut was the place to try! The cinnamon roll was unlike any I've had before: it was fluffy, generously filled with cream cheese frosting, and brûléed on top, adding a really delicious, crunchy layer of caramelized sugar ($4.75). It was also huge - it filled the entire doughnut box! I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee, which honestly was disappointing. I'm not accustomed to NOLA coffee shops' use of crushed ice, and I can safely say I am not a fan. There was so much ice and so little coffee, and the coffee itself tasted weak (with no distinguishable chicory flavor)...mostly like condensed milk. In total, I got five sips of coffee - at $4.60 for the cup, that's almost $1 a sip! The shop is tiny, basically a grab-and-go. It has limited outdoor seating, but the seats have seen better days, were sticky with some unknown substance, and were missing slats of wood. We ended up walking across the street to Whole Foods, which has ample outdoor seating. I definitely thought the cinnamon roll was worth the stop in, and given the high quality of the baking, I'd check out one of their more full-service locations in the future.

Great location and a cute spot. That being said, remarkably unfriendly and unwelcoming staff. Almost laughable.

Revisited recently as friends, former residents, were in for Jazzfest and wanted to try this "cute" spot. Bitter coffee is still being served by a self-preoccupied staff. Doughnuts were good, but should be great for the price. No wonder the B Rouge location closed it's doors.

Cute little donut coffee shop. We arrived in the rain so it was easy breezy and all to ourselves. I chose the Vietnamese Iced Coffee donut along with the Caramel Glaze Latte. I enjoyed both although I was slightly underwhelmed with my donut. It was coffee glaze, condensed milk pastry cream, tapioca pearls and chicory sugar- sounds phenomenal but I couldn't really and truly identify the flavors which may partly be my own fault for ordering a latte too rich in flavor. When it got time for my donut, it wasn't a party in my mouth as I was expecting. The condensed milk was a little watered down so not as thick and sweet as expected. Overall it's a donut...so I'm not mad at it but definitely wasn't as amazing for me as it sounded. They have plenty of options but noted no vegan ones which was a bummer for my husband whose plant based but they had good beverage options with non-dairy substitutes. In South Florida we're used to every spot having at least one option whether it's a donut, a muffin, a something...that's plant-based but in either case it's a sweet spot.

The coffee I got was pretty good, but the barista was very rude. Came in at 1:40 (admittedly mistaking that they closed at 3) and she very bluntly said "we close in 10 mins so all we have is a little coffee." Whoops!!

I've been meaning to review District Donut for a while now. Their coffee is great, and I'm a particular fan of their cold brew. And, as the name suggests, their donuts are very good too, with the standout being their brûlée'd cinnamon roll, which is just phenomenal. (It's worth trying the breakfast sandwich too, though it could use a nice sauce.)

If you're on magazine street, this is the place to stop for coffee. This was the first place I've tried a Vietnamese coffee and instantly fell in love. I just LOVE this spot. They even added outdoor picnic tables so you can sit outside and enjoy your coffee.

I would give this place a negative 0 if I could...terrible service!!! We arrive literally standing in line for 10:59 and we were informed we could not order breakfast. The manager was a totally butt about accommodating PAYING CUSTOMERS. This is not how you do business! I'm a professional on many levels and I know how business should be conducted! No WONDER their location in Baton Rouge is closing. You can't thrive with terrible service in this industry! #districtdonuts The Magazine Street location.

The two girls working on shift at 10:40a at the coffee bar location across from Whole Foods.. one of them rolled their eyes and threw/slammed the box down when we received our order because we simply asked for a small modification. They said no they can't then we politely asked for one other alternative then we got served attitude. Sandwich had a cold spot too! This was unwarranted. I wish I could take back my tip as well.

GET THE BRÛLÉED CINNAMON ROLL. If you love sweets, it is a must!!! Cozy & hip little coffeehouse in the heart of Magazine Street, they have a delicious array of donuts and baked goods on display at the front counter. Their menu also offers interesting coffee choices (like lavender & Vietnamese iced), along with savory choices (like Croque Madame & Monte Cristo sandwiches). There's just enough to choose from, and (visually speaking) everything looks delicious... We had already eaten breakfast when we stumbled upon this place on our stroll. So, we only tried the infamous cinnamon roll and a berries & cream donut... OMG, both were phenomenal! This isn't just any ordinary donut shop - it's where you'll find an elegant snack that will likely taint you from getting your breakfast goodies anywhere else. So good!!!

Stopped by for breakfast and we got the bacon, egg and cheese biscuits (they're huge!) pumpkin & pineapple fritters and coffees. The breakfast sandwiches were delicious and really hit the spot after a night of drinking on bourbon street. The fritter was tasty and paired well with our coffee. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again. There is outdoor seating and service is good.

This location is unlike District Donut's other venues, which are all decent-sized restaurants, most of which I seem to have been to. This one's just a little hut with coffee, donuts, and a few other things but not, sadly, the delicious beet-based veggie burgers the other locations have. But that's okay; you're probably here for the donuts. And they offer the same donuts as they do at all the other locations. There's nowhere in this little space to make them; I saw them being carried in on trays, presumably from the other Uptown location. And those donuts remain ludicrously ostentatious, with premium-sounding flavors that generally live up to the names. I sampled a black and gold, some kind of peanut butter and banana thing that I believe is in support of the local football team, as well as a horchata donut stuffed with some kind of cinnamon-flavored cream. They're expensive, but totally worth it for the occasional treat. Rarely does something look, sound, and taste so good.

Very tight/small location. No indoor seating. There's some limited outdoor seating. Wish they had more varieties in their donut selection. I ordered 4 different donuts. They tasted pretty good but nothing out of this world. I did feel like the dough part was like a day or 2 old. Didn't taste fresh. I also tried the location in the lower garden district and the donuts were kind of stale too. I won't be returning.

I too would give this place a zero if I could. Horrible service! They threw us out of the store to make room for "other customers ". And there was absolutely no other customer in the store. And perhaps that is why. The service and people are rude. Save your money and your time and go somewhere else.

Wanting to explore this part of Magazine Street, I had bookmarked this little spot on Yelp to visit. It was mid-morning during the week and I was able to check out District Donut. I must give y'all a fair warning there is very limited seating here. It's all outside and there's probably about 12 seats total. This location is more of a grab-n-go spot. They have an assortment of donuts, kolaches, and sandwiches to select from. I was craving a biscuit so I decided to do my go-to bacon and cheddar. The sandwich was so good, and I loved the biscuit itself. The portion was big and it definitely held me over for the day. The coffee was good but not necessarily my taste. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever as we all have our preferences. I will say though what has me open to coming back is the customer service and the food! Take a look around the walls and enjoy the funny sayings and theories. My favorite one was 3.14 = pie. I had a good chuckle. See ya later District Donuts. Next time I'm coming for ya donuts.

Glad they use Califia nut milk but my coffee was so watered down for being a double americano and NO vegan pastry items. Would be great if they had them gluten free vegan also. Why don't enough coffee shops in Nola cater to the health minded?? Plenty of us!

Do yourself a favor and stop by this place if you are in the area (and even if you are not)! We were looking for a place to get a quick bite to eat while waiting to visit the zoo. A quick search on Yelp found this place, and when I saw that they offered kolaches, I knew we had to go! They had a nice assortment of biscuit and kolaches for breakfast, each made fresh daily and warmed up for you upon selection. We couldn't decide, so we got an assortment and sampled a little bit of each. The biscuits were soft and buttery, and the kolaches were just little bundles of heaven.They also have a different assortment of donuts every day, freshly made, and they all looked amazing.

When Velvet coffee closed before I could try it, I was disappointed, but I believe this had taken its place around the time I was in New Orleans. I anticipated this place, since I felt like at the time, New Orleans didn't really have any great cafes that offered the whole package. Initially, this place was a bit disorganized, but it did pick up, and the coffee is pretty decent. While on the expensive side, they are one of the better places to grab a cuppa joe in New Orleans, something more along the lines of the 'third wave' of coffee. Their matcha was also delicious, but expensive, along with their pies. They have pretty interesting flavors and creations for their pies, but again, expensive for what it is. The ambience is hipster, rustic, and local, with limited seating. You can tell the interior has been well thought through and the service is pretty friendly most of the time. Their donut and slider place is good as well, with more seating and a larger fare.

Visited this place hoping to order the Nutter Putter, was a bit disappointed they did not have it that day. We decided to go with the most similar flavor and choose peanut butter with marshmallow donut. We also never tried king cake before so we ordered that flavor as well. Both were good (they are donuts after all!) but nothing spectacular like voodoo donuts. Worthy visit nonetheless. Here are my ratings: Peanut butter and marshmallow: 8/10 King cake: 8/10

Holy donuts! I hail from a land of countless old-school donut shops and a few trendy ones. On top of that, I'm a donut lover. So when I saw District was .2 miles from my rental, I knew I had to pop on in. The space is tiny, deff made for a grab and go situation. I went around 8:30 or 9:00 on a Saturday and they were already out of a handful. The selection they had was still decent. They don't do any cake donuts so if that's your thing this isn't the place for you. I went with the chocolate glaze, cinnamon bun (not a donut), Nutella and cookie dough. They were all great but my favorite by far was the "classic" chocolate glaze. Even though it was traditional, it wasn't classic. It was monstrous and way more flavorful than your typical donut. Note that this wasn't all for me. These donuts are massive. We fed four and still had a bit leftover. i also got a cold brew coffee which was delicious. They pack the cups with Sonic-style crushed ice so you don't get at on of coffee out of it.. Overall a great spot. If you're a donut lover then District is a must.

Its hard to beat the donuts and breakfast options here. The chicken biscuit is one of the best in the game and I recently had a banana pudding donut that was awesome. Whenever I go down to NOLA, this is an absolute must stop.

Who doesn't love donuts in the morning? Or in the afternoon? Or for dinner, OK you know what I just love donuts. I was super excited to see that there is a donut shop located across the street from Whole Foods. I'll be honest, I went into whole foods to get a healthy breakfast and immediately left to go to District doughnut. I was surprised to see that this location is extremely small. There is no where to eat inside either. I believe there was about six donuts to choose from when I went in. Nothing screamed my name, but that didn't stop me from ordering three donuts. I went with a cinnamon sugar doughnut, regular glazed donut, and a brown butter drop donut. Luckily the good thing about this place is three donuts cost me about seven dollars. The brown butter drop was extremely hard. Have you ever ate something hard and it cut the roof of your mouth? That is exactly what happened when I ate that donut. I would probably not order this donut based on how hard it was. The cinnamon sugar donut was nothing special, your basic cinnamon and well sugar donut. Part of me wonders if I should've went with a more extravagant doughnut, maybe the bananas Foster, maybe the bacon? Either way, I probably won't be back to District doughnut. There was nothing that drew me in. However; if I was going to visit again I would definitely go to their other location that is much bigger.

I went here for the first time today. The coffee was delicious but I wish I could take back my tip back. The workers were not kind at all and it wasn't even very busy in there.

This is a satellite shop of District Donut, they have the same great donuts with a smaller selection. They bring them over in the morning from the main location and have shorter operating hours. I got the German chocolate donut and wasn't disappointed. It wasn't too sweet and the dough was light and fluffy. Pair it with a coffee and I can't complain!

Donuts with personality and taste to match. Fresh, amazing real bakery smell. Kinda pricey I paid $19+ for 6 donuts and 10 ounce OJ.

Super cute coffee bar and friendly staff. Coffee and breakfast sliders were delicious! Definitely coming back.

Love their praline bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit and Vietnamese iced coffee! Best of all, they are dog friendly (dogs are allowed inside and outside). The outside even has a doggy water "tap" (handle shaped like a bone). This is a super tiny spot--best for grabbing items to go--since there is no indoor seating.

Stopped here for breakfast while in NOLA. The place is very small so you can just take your order and go out, outside there are few tables. Coffee was good, dounuts were the biggest I ever seen and were very tasty. The only complain: they were a bit to stuffed with the filling in my opinion.

I'm disappointed I usually go to the one in Elmwood and have no problems, but the last two times I tried the one on magazine the food was HORRIBLE. The meat was beyond under cook, like to the point where it had blood dripping. I had to throw the whole thing away. And the manger that I spoke to was just rude.

WHY WASN'T I INFORMED ?!?!? Quietly last August, ill-conceived and over-priced "District Hand Pies" folded and was mercifully replaced by its far superior sister company "District Donuts & Brew". OUT: Hand Pies IN: Donuts, Savories & Kolaches KOLACHES WORTHY OF "ORIGINAL KOUNTRY" bakery in Schulenberg, Texas, the heart of the klobasnek belt. Most importantly the dough is perfectly buttery like a Mrs. Schubert on steroids. The link sausage is spicy and pairs well with the melted cheese and slice of jalapeño. One is $3, but so good I actually rounded the block and bought another! (See pic)

I live in Chicago and am swamped by donut shops but these donuts are some of the best I've had! They are yeasty donuts that aren't overly sweet with both classic and creative non-traditional flavors. This location is small but has a cute outdoor seating area. I loved the 5 spice and pistachio. My friend liked the chocolate. The staff here could not be nicer because they added 2 free donuts to our order without even mentioning it! Such a lovely surprise!

This is the best donut shop I have ever gone to. I went with a few friends so we split a bunch of donuts. And usually one donut at a shop is not so good. Well everything was delicious. My favorite was the pumpkin cheesecake and the cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was so fresh and they torched the icing so it melted and caramelized. If you're looking for donuts in New Orleans. This is the place to go!

Items Selected: Tiramisu Chocolate Milk Brownie Batter Sweet Root - Beet Glaze, Candied Carrots Apparently unable to capture lightning in a bottle twice, a Hand Pie concept from the team behind District Donuts + Sliders + Brew quickly shuttered and reconcepted as a tiny Coffee Bar on the corner of Arabella and Magazine Street, District Donut + Coffee Bar nonetheless shows just as well as its bigger brother when it comes to fried breakfast pastries while making the most of its incredibly limited space. At most 200 square feet in size, the wedge-shaped bar still slinging out a multitude of Coffees, Cappuccinos and Lattes alongside Donuts, Biscuits and Kolaches brought over from the mothership, it was with window paintings of Donkey Kong looking on that a total of four selections were made to the tax & tip tune of $14, a steep price once again justified by the taste. Changing up the options daily, everything including sprinkles and fillings made from scratch, in house, first bites of Brownie Batter were tasty despite not offering the Chocolate base that might be expected, a second unfilled choice of Sweet Root offering a complex flavor both earthy and aromatic thanks to sugar-encrusted Carrots and the faintly pink Glaze. Moving on to two cream-filled pockets, both using the same stretchy Brioche base as the rings and holding up nicely without a bit of sog, Tiramisu does not play around with artificial booze or concentrate when infusing its center and topping with Espresso, Rum and Dark Cocoa, the Chocolate Milk a spot-on representation of the beverage, though quite messy and best eaten with utensils over a plate or napkin.

I'm not much of a coffee person but I crave the iced lavender latte. Currently my favorite place to grab a latte.

Coffee: pretty standard coffee. Enjoyed my latte. Ambiance: neat place to get dessert/beer/coffee. Donuts: maybe because I went in the afternoon, the donuts weren't fresh and a little dry. Probably won't head back but it is probably better in the morning.

A solid choice for the type of donuts you only want to eat one of. This isn't the type of place you're going to eat three or four donuts. My personal favorite is the cinnamon sugar, it tastes like an elephant ear from a carnival! My only complaint is that this location is pretty slow, so if you're hoping to run in real quick for an AM drink or just a quick bite, give yourself a little bit of time.

Love their coffee! Food not suitable for vegans, but they have milk substitutes. Had an oat milk latte and a vanilla oat milk latte while here visiting. They were both delicious, but I preferred the plain latte because the coffee was so yummy! Note: good lattes are not cheap :)

Giant donuts!! They looked so good that we may have gotten 6 donuts for 3 (normal sized) people... the donuts were really tasty too. A bit on the sweet side, but just an excuse to get some coffee to go with it. All their flavors were pretty good, even the bright colored ones that I usually don't go for. I'd suggest to split some with your friends so you can try different types!

In search for a quick coffee while picking up items on Magazine street, I finally had the opportunity to come by the younger sibling of District Donuts Sliders Brew. A little bigger than a food truck with only outdoor seating; this is a great spot for a grab 'n' go coffee and bite to eat. The interior was nice and toasty while I waited, and has cute references to pi (as in 3.14). I grabbed my usual, a mocha, and their Kung Pao Chicken hand pie. The jury is still out if I think the hand pie was worth $5, but it is damn delicious in my opinion. Hand pies start with the breading, and they're nailing it. Perfectly flaky, warm, and not stale in the least bit. I like the kick to the chicken, and they give you a little side of cabbage/green onion to enjoy with it. I only needed a bite, and this was great to hold me over for the day when I usually eat a bagel. Their mocha...I had to go back to make sure it wasn't a fluke. I really really enjoy their mochas. Like dangerously so. They're not syrupy in the least bit. I think they make them with chocolate milk, but not the heavy whole milk kind, but like a perfectly blended chocolate milk. It wasn't overly sweet, and I could still taste hints of the espresso. I may be hooked because I know I'm going back today for another one. The seating outside is cute, but more intimate so I wouldn't necessarily meet here for an interview or meeting with someone you wouldn't know. They also have a really cute dog watering hole as well. Don't think I'm crazy, District Hand Pies, I'm coming back in today for the third day in a row...

I love this place and would normally give it 5 stars but can't bring myself to do so after eating the Praline Bacon, Egg, Cheese Biscuit - ahem, my favorite item on the District Menu. My children and I occasionally stop into this District sub-spot on our way to school with anticipation. Whoa! Totally new menu - gone are the amazing hand pies that we loved and replaced with 10 different donuts. Okay, no problem. But....those hand pies..... :( Then I laid my eyes on the Praline Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit. Actually, it was the first thing I saw when I walked in. I LASER FOCUSED on the item, not noticing that the egg was, ummmmm, NOT what I'm used to at the MAIN District location. This wasn't scrambled eggs either - this was (ohhh, I hate to say this), upscale version of McDonalds. The biscuit top was nothing like how it is at the main location either. I looked at this food item and it stared dully back at me. I could just hear it whimpering, "please don't hate me," over and over. So.....hungry as I was, I cut into it. Sigh....no runny egg. I did take a bite out of curiosity and was disappointed. Even a poached egg would have sufficed (in fact, I was hoping for a poached egg to save me from writing this review). The praline bacon was amazing as usual, biscuit too. But gone are the days that they took a torch to anything to crisp it or warm it. My biscuit a la McDonalds was also warmed in similar fashion to McDonalds. Honestly, I don't mind waiting. Maybe I should change my rating to 3-stars. Ugh, I'm on the fence here. Good points to mention: gone are the ridiculously small cups of espresso drinks that were priced ridiculously high. Those have been replaced with 12 and 16oz cups. Good for you if you can drink 16oz of espresso, milk and sugar. I betcha you are an energetic bunny at work: go-go-go till ya drop and give me 20 (more shots of espresso). This rating deserves a 3.5 - I say this because the staff admitted they are "streamlining" because they have expanded. Well, sorry not sorry - when you streamline you need to REMAIN CONSISTENT FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS. Like me. Sigh.... I miss your hand pies and over easy eggs in the Praline Bacon extraordinaire biscuit.

Good coffee, one of many choices footsteps apart in this neighborhood. It's a tiny place, with very limited inside seating and a couple of interesting converted bench seats outside on the sidewalk. The diminutive size is one of the most interesting aspects--how the owners converted what was a small barber shop shack into a coffee house, and made it work. Pies are interesting for the occasional breakfast or lunch, but pricey.

Delicious cold brew and the best bacon sandwich ever! Highly recommend the Miso Praline Bacon Biscuit and pink lemonade donuts. Update: just ate the buttermilk drop we ordered to-go...kiss your diet good bye and eat one of these ASAP!

YUMMY and very cute! You have to get the Breakfast Muffin, everyone must try this Breakfast Muffin!! It is THAT good! Think perfectly tender savory muffin with cheese, bacon and chives but the real perfection is the soft egg inside. They warm it for you, so the muffin is warm and as you break it open and the egg oozes its gorgeously orange yoke. Best Muffin Ever!!! I'm drooling just typing this... Oh, the Kouign-Amann was sooo delish too! It is a buttery, sugary pastry that I never tried before. Almost like a buttery croissant with caramelized crunchy sugar in the shape of a muffin. Soooooo good!! The coffee was good too!

Great place in the Lower Garden District for the pastries & bakery fix. Great variety of options to choose from whether your craving something sweet or savory.

A cute breakfast spot! Line was out the door but moved quickly. Workers were on top of things! We went later in the morning so many of the donuts were sold out but we were still pleased with our options. The Nolache was so great! Bacon, egg, & cheese wrapped in pastry. Cold brew was also on point. Great experience!

If I could, I would give this place no stars. They are beyond rude. Me and my family came in to order coffee and donuts as it was pouring rain outside and then as soon as we received our drinks and food they asked us to leave as we were taking up space inside. We were the only ones there.

This is the best District Donut location of all! It's never busy and still has all the great donuts and beautiful layouts. We got there a bit late in the afternoon so there weren't as many options of donuts as usual but still great choices. I make sure to stop by each time I come to New Orleans. The layout is beautiful, the people are nice and there's great seating areas outside. If you're a person who loves donuts, or happiness in general this place should be at the top of your list.
