La Rue Doughnut

Fantastic pastries! The croissants tasted just like I was walking down the streets of Paris. Flaky, buttery perfection. They use real vanilla bean in their cream for the brioche. The bacon cinnamon rolls were executed better than I've seen. You can tell they par-cook the bacon before adding them to the rolls. I highly, highly recommend this quaint shop. 10/10.

The donuts are nice but if you’re looking for a good cup of coffee I wouldn’t recommend this place. They used an automatic machine so they can only make the drinks that the machine is programmed to do. I wanted a flat white and they couldn’t make it. My friend got a latte and the drink was pretty much 80% milk. She didn’t even finish the drink. Had the kolache and it was very delicious. My friend got the French toast donut and she loved it! Definitely going back to try more flavors of the donuts.

We were very lucky to try a wide variety of items at our first trip ever to La Rue. I loved everything we ordered and couldn’t believe how incredible the tomatillo pastry with cheese was! I will always be on the hunt for that item anytime I visit! The donuts were soft, fluffy yet flavorful! The vanilla cruller melts in your mouth, that is also a must try! The donut flavors we tried were strawberry cheesecake, classic chocolate and samoa! The beef kolache was also very flavorful and perfect to round out all the sweets, hope to try the jalapeno one next time.

There are two types of donut eaters in the world. The grocery store, gas station donut eaters. Then there’s the gourmet, I’m here for the unbelievable taste and quality of the donut eaters. Im the latter person and La Rue Doughnut is definitely right up my alley. The shop is small but progressing through the line is fluent. The case of delectable treats are very eye catching. The selections I had were very good, paired with the coffees and seasonal variations for drinks. Made everything so much better.

I got the tomatilo pinwheel, sausage & gravy adult pop tart (not sure the correct name) and French toast donut 😋 & honey pistachio latte......babe when I tell you delicious! I will definitely be back. They are located where the cake bar used to be. There is some seating inside, but alot more outside. The staff was super cool and knowledgeable. Love it there!!! You gotta try em

We tried several donuts, but my favorites were the Raspberry Crème Brûlée, and Chocolate Hazelnut, Pain Suisse. The raspberry jam was incredibly fresh, and the hazelnut flavor was delicious. The servers were so sweet, and I loved their reward system! Highly recommend!

All hype -- The aesthetic is super cute and bakery like. The seating is limited Parking is shared with other businesses winde it's located in Triniity Groves. The bakery has an open view as they bake it. The donuts are nicely baked and soft. Its beautifully decorated BUT the flavors taste NOTHING like advertised. The cookies and cream had no hint of cookies or cream. The pina colada has no hint of coconut or pineapple. Share it with someone if you decide to try it. I would go out of my way to try it

Looks can be deceiving. You'd assume these would be the sweetest things your tongue has ever tasted but they're perfect. Perfectly sweet, fluffy & thick 😍 😋

Best Artisan Doughnuts in Dallas, not even close. Doughnuts made from scratch, unique flavors, and to die for texture. I am personally not too hot on traditional doughnuts as they are heavier, but the signature crullers are so light and airy, with no loss in flavor. Highly recommend. The Honey Pistachio Latte is my personal favorite drink. Friendly staff, beautiful interior, lots of parking.

Best doughnut I've had in a while! I got the Pistachio Honey Brioche and it was delicious. It was fluffy, thick, sweet but not too sweet like most doughnuts, and certainly not dry at all! I also got a raspberry matcha and that was seriously GREAT. I didn't care for the caramel brûlée coffee. It lacked flavor and just tasted like espresso w/ milk. The customer service could definitely use some work though. They weren't rude per se, but weren't very helpful and seemed like they just wanted you to grab your doughnut and leave lol. Maybe it was just an off day. Lastly, for those wanting to visit, the inside doesn't have a lot of seating, but there is a covered patio outside that's nice! And they have tons of parking which is a plus. Overall, La Rue is very aesthetically pleasing w/ great doughnuts and matcha :)

Tucked behind Art Park on the edge of the Trinity Bridge, La Rue Doughnuts is a hidden gem that exudes elegance with its timeless style and cozy café culture vibe. My sister and I tried the jalapeño sausage roll and the raspberry passion crumble. The sausage roll was snappy, savory, and had a great depth of jalapeño flavor. The raspberry passion crumble was tart and fresh, with just the right touch of sweetness. I'm already looking forward to going back to try more of their delicious treats.

The bakery items are so delicious! It's a cute shop with about three tables and a very airy, modern feel. The prices are average with a range of $4-9 per item and with well-priced coffee at $4-7. The presentation reminded me of boulangerie in Paris and the open kitchen was a nice addition. Its simple menu and bright interior was elegant. They do not accept cash.

Gorgeous little bakery in Trinity Groves. Service is prompt and very courteous and helpful. The Donuts are amazing and delightful. Drive down for some of their occasional limited run specials is worth it!

I really wanted to love this spot since I was an avid Carte Blanche go-er in Greenville Ave and was literally obsessed w that place but when I came into the Trinity Groves location, from first glance they had all of my favorites pastries so it brought back joy but when I was ready to browse and order, I was so disappointed in the service/friendliness from the young people working the front and since the door kept constantly opening, there were a lot of flies in the pastry case line and it kind of turned me off in even wanting to order anything. The pastries were good but I do hope they figure out the fly situation

La Rue has a delicious lineup of pastries. I loved the salted chocolate chip cookie and the cookie butter brioche. I would order both again! The cookie was layered and easily bested any competition like Crumbl. I wouldn't get the iced chai latte again. I barely tasted any chai.

My wife and I stopped by around 11 a.m. on Saturday and had no trouble getting in. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the warm, inviting aroma of fresh pastries. We ordered a mix of gluten-free donuts and a honey pistachio donut, along with a snickerdoodle latte. The pairing was fantastic--the latte was sweet and flavorful without being overly syrupy. I could've easily had a gallon of it!

I loved everything tasted here at this amazing bakery. Including seasonal flavors of passionfruit crullers, beef kolaches, chocolate chip cookies, and, banoffee doughnuts. Lovely service no matter when. Bright and cheerful is their shop. At this point, with no inside seating, I usually take my box of treats home. Yet best it is when weather permits, I would also order one of their delightful coffee drinks and enjoy my treats out at their wonderful patio right there and then! CHEERS!

Our baked good were very tasty and also quite a big size! I got a tomatillo croissant and my girlfriend got a Samoan doughnut (something like that) both of ours were very tasty and the staff was very friendly as well! I would recommend and return if I was in the area! Also, there is a great view of the skyline from their patio!

Carte Blanche was a weekly outing for my family. I finally got the chance to check out the new spot. La Rue has the same great taste and quality ingredients that I remember. The milk and cookies brioche donut was pillowy and decadent. The vanilla cruller was soft on the inside and perfectly crisp on the outside with just the right amount of sweetness. The kolache was the size of a hotdog. Thick flavorful beef sausage. You can't wrong with anything you choose. Come here...get one of everything...ENJOY!

this location used to have Tracy German's cakes that we've always enjoyed and it was interesting to see something new. I had the Brown butter chocolate chip cookie super crisp on the outsideanf gooey and in the Center super thick and tasty we also picked up a couple of the passionfruit marshmallows that were very interesting. They really have made a good use of the space looking forward to them being able to put more product in there. But based upon the nature of the freshness of the baked goods there's only so much you can do. The service was wonderful by a nice young man who appears to be the son of the father who is the baker. He was flawless even though he was rather young it looks like father and son worked very hard and doing a great job in this location looking forward to going again

I was one of the many fans of Carte Blanche before it closed, so I was eagerly awaiting La Rue Doughnut's opening day, which ended up happening on a weekend when I was out of town. Finally was able to make it out twice in the past month and got to try many of the different flavors on offer -- so glad to report that the baked goods remain some of the best in town, especially our beloved cruller! The brioche doughnuts are pillowy and light and all the various flavors are super balanced and work well together. The only "sad" part for me is how often flavors rotate -- wish I lived closer for the excuse to drop by more often. The Elvis doughnut from October and the lemon pistachio brioche from the latest seasonal flavors were so good, as is the permanent butterscotch toffee brioche. Loved the cookie we tried in October as well. Even the gluten free offering is a wonderful texture and flavor! And of course the kolache is an absolute unit, super savory sausage with a lovely za'atar seasoned dough. Can't wait to stop by again soon to try the next round of new flavors!

Oh my goodness this place was good. In line we met a couple that drives from Denton every other weekend. They had lots of tasty options from sweet to savory and seemed to have a seasonal/rotating menu. Their honey pistachio coffee was also really good. Sampling these goodies outside in the spring sun was a perfect way to start our weekend.

Nice spot with plenty of options. Customer service was great, the cashier gave me recommendations. These are not your classic doughnuts. I did appreciate them not being super sweet. However, they didn't have much flavor in my opinion. Not sure that I'd go back but if someone bought them for me, I'd give them a second chance.

Can you say yummy fluffy donuts!? That's what you'll find here. These donuts were freshly made moist and delicious. The staff was okay. I was acknowledged as soon as I walked in. The space was clean and well lit. If I lived closer I would visit more but....

After having sushi the other day; our sushi chef recommended me check this place out. I was told it was the same owner that had Carte Blanche before they closed. I of course ordered and assortment of doughnuts, croissants and crullers. Presentation and creativity is a 10/10 here. The doughnuts themselves are large and some are tastier than others, the matcha croissant was not my favorite, but the show stopper at this establishment is the crullers. I love crullers and these are some of my favorite ones I've ever tasted. My only disappointment was not just ordered two boxes of the crullers. Definitely would drive back just for the crullers.

Bought a box took two bites of the French toast and omg I had to come on yelp to give my 5 star review! The sweetness is perfect for me! Just perfecto! So good! Can't wait to try the others!

Delicious! I tried several options but my favorite will always be the plain ole glazed brioche. The other stars of the day were the 2 different kolaches...both wonderful. I visited on a Wednesday and was able to walk right in and begin ordering. The servers were nice and friendly! It was worth the 25 min drive from Lewisville!

Fantastic donuts. I am not normally a huge donut person but loved these. The vanilla brioche and apple cider were so well made. We also got a sausage kolache which was excellent. My only complaint is that the sausage kolache was bit expensive at around 8-10 dollars. I would definitely come back here to try more of their flavors. I was highly impressed.

There are two types of donut eaters in the world. The grocery store, gas station donut eaters. Then there's the gourmet, I'm here for the unbelievable taste and quality of the donut eaters.

Went to check out La Rue at around 8:30am on a Sunday and there was very quick service with almost no line! The shop is very small with no indoor seating, but there are plenty of tables outside. The vanilla brioche is one of the best donuts I've ever had. Sweet vanilla glaze with a pillowy brioche texture that you're gonna have to experience yourself. The passionfruit guava cruller had an interesting tanginess to it but I really enjoyed how light it was with the eggy cruller taste. Finally, the chicken brioche pocket was also great- well seasoned, filled with a generous amount of chicken and Oaxacan cheese, and crispy. You definitely can't go wrong with any of the pastries at La Rue and I would highly recommend it to any donut lovers in the Dallas area!

Prepare your wallet for a workout! These donuts are $5 a pop, and the kolaches? A cool $10. But hey, who needs savings when you've got sweet, sugary bliss? My daughter inhaled her $5 donut and a $5 hot chocolate like it was the last two things on Earth, so clearly it was a hit. Definitely a treat-yourself kind of place--delicious, with a side of 'who needs financial stability when you have tasty calories?' Worth it for those moments when your taste buds want to throw a party! Service here was standard, not much to a wait so that's a big plus. Ambiance is nothing to write home about, feels like a to-go place mostly unless you take it outside.

100000000000/10 Incredible, clean, stylish place that gets through the line fast! Was there for opening and the staff was so friendly (they were already sold out of kolaches). These donuts are seriously the real, delicious deal! Pumpkin is gluten free!

This was an amazing donut shop that caught me by surprise. My sister told me about this place when I brought up my favorite donut shop, she said that she liked this spot better but she wasn't sure that I would agree. And after my first visit I definitely agree. I definitely went there for donuts but I must say the kolache stole the show. It is a $7 kolache that is made with a full size sausage. The bread was seasoned to perfection, the sausage was delicious, it was so good. I came back to this establishment the next day and I must say the that it was the kolache that brought me back. As for the donuts, they had a French Toast donut that tasted as appetizing as it looks. It is covered with some type of dessert crumb on top of a yellow custard. I was able to sample a few other donuts and they were good, but none stand out as much as the French toast donut. I will say that the banana Foster is an honorable mention. The donut shop is located in a popular plaza. It used to be the home of a cake shop and they didn't change much in terms of decor. Just very simple and clean. The only non-positive thing that I can say about this establishment, is that compared to one of their competitors the quality is not as good. Please don't confuse that with me saying that they don't have quality donuts, it's just that comparatively I have had better quality. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend checking the spot out. I do not think you will be disappointed.

This place is amazing, the pastry's and matcha are absolutely the best I've had in Dallas. Service was great very kind and answered all of our questions. Definitely going back.

Cute little bakery, friendly staff and delicious pastry's. The chocolate hazelnut croissant is to die for and we tried their new bacon cinnamon roll, which I was hesitant about but the bacon was crunchy and added just the right balance of salt, well done!

Overall, the pastries were great but the drink was okay. I enjoyed the pistachio cruller! Wasn't too sweet but was moist soft and crunchy.

Decided to treat myself for my birthday to this donut spot! This is not a traditional donut place, these are elevated donuts and they have some very unique flavors. Since a lot of them looked a bit heavy or too decadent for my taste, I just went with the churro chiller. I'd give it a 7/10. I asked about the kolaches and they told me it was $7 for just 1. So be prepared to spend a little more for this experience. Such a cute location in trinity groves. It's in the same location where Cake Bar used to be. I'll come back and try another flavor soon!

Love La Rue!! Have been a fan since Carte Blanche so knew this place would not disappoint

So many wonderful things that I can say about this place...to start, the staff was so warm and welcoming! Their display case of donuts is truly a work of art. Not only do they look good, but they also taste great! I can't even find the words to describe the softness of the doughnut when you bite into it. The flavors are unique and perfectly paired. I also tried an iced coffee and it did not disappoint!

I am a big fan of the cruella's- not sure if I spelled that correctly. They are soft and slight crunch on the outside. It was not too sweet. The service was okay and the place was clean and orderly. I had the carrot cake and it was okay. I know I will back for the cruella's.

The place is very small, but there is outside seating. The donuts are scrumptious. I expected them to be dense, but they are so fluffy and soft. I got the vanilla brioche. Yum! My daughter got the Samoa inspired one and she said it tasted just like the cookie. Sorry I don't have any pictures. I took the donut down so fast lol. Just go. The donut I got was $3 and it was worth it. They have some savory items too.

First let me say, the doughnuts are DELICIOUS!! La Rue offers a combination of traditional flavors & rotating specialty flavors that are all prepared very well! The glazed brioche is chef's kiss! We've visited 3 times and tried at least 4 different flavors....all were great. The store is really cute and the team is ok. Where I'v had issues and docked a couple stars is around their operations. We live 45 minutes away and always have high hopes, but the experience is never smooth. I believe they're still ironing out kinks, maybe? One issue is consistency with the non-specialty flavors. On every visit, the flavors we were hoping to try weren't available. Even those that are mainstays i.e. brownie and strawberry for example. We always arrive shortly after opening, so it's never that it's too late, which would be understandable. The flavors were in production on those days, just not available at that particular time or something? The other issue is with their online ordering for pick-up. We've tried a few times and It's never worked for us. I'll place the order, get charged for it, then I get an email that it's cancelled immediately after. The refund or hold release doesn't come until a few days later. The first couple times this happened, we just brushed it off and went to the store to stand in line and paid AGAIN. Now, it's just annoying. If a business commits to offering online ordering, they have to ensure a smooth experience for customers.....or just don't offer it. Ironically, I went to their site this morning before I typed this review to see if things are better. The current flavors are not listed, it just says "there are no items to show here yet" and again...the "order for pick-up" option isn't working. For now, we'll continue frequenting The Salty, to get our donut fix. Their donuts are chef's kiss, online ordering always works, and production is consistently on point with their non-specialty and specialty flavors!

Since my first visit a couple months ago, I have visited at least 2-3 times a week! She even learned my coffee order. These donuts are amazing and it's super cute how they have it set up inside. Definitely recommend trying it out.

Omg, this place is a heaven! I got two vanilla crullers, one blueberry muffin and one some kind of savory meat bun. Their brioches looked so good, but I don't usually like overly sweet, so I just got a few things looking not so sweet for trying out. Well, actually I regretted not buying more or every single one because everything I had was very quality and impressively delicious! Also I live far away from Dallas (bummer!). They have a special price for a dozen of your choices, which is worth to buy. I can't wait to go back to this cute doughnut shop and try everything on the counter!

I ordered the vanilla and cinnamon donut when biting into it it was good, but I did not expect the airiness of it. The location was clean and they were nice

Where do I begin? I loved Carte Blanche so much and was absolutely devastated when they closed in the spring. When I heard they were opening a doughnut shop, I knew I would not pass them by! Once again, everything they bake is so delectable. The cookies, crullers, quiches, doughnuts, you name it! I even think this go around they're even tastier since they're an all day operation and they're pumping out donuts fresh through out the day unlike others places. The donuts are so light and the flavor combos are so unique and as a Certified picky eater, LaRue has gotten me to try so many new things because I know if anyone will do it justice, it's them! If you see a flavor you might wanna try, please get it. I understand that some people are disappointed when their favorite flavors are gone and replaced with something new, but I truly enjoy the element of surprise to try a new seasonal flavor. They post on their Instagram about flavors leaving and new incoming flavors or products so that really helps me keep track of my favorites as well. All in all, I love LaRue and wish them nothing but success because they truly deserve it. Can't wait to see how they grow.

A-MAY-ZING!!! French pastry in the form of donuts. Crullers are feather light. The pistachio was divine! Brioche donut with passion fruit curd was pillowy soft with the zing of the curd plus some whipped ricotta. Bacon jalapeño scone with honey glaze had perfect crumb and sweet savory combo delish!

The best pastries in dallas hands down! Have gone here multiple times and it never disappoints

I believe this is the same pastry chef who had the Carte Blanche location on Greenville. The goodies are just as awesome! Smaller place with some tables outside. Worth the occasional drive to enjoy the best vanilla cruller in town

In my opinion, another top two or three donut places in Dallas. They're starting to bring back some of the croissants from the legendary carte blanche. Happy to see them being successful.

This place is sensational. The same couple that ran and operated Carte Blanche. La Rue has all the same great food; but smaller space. There was no line when we went, which is criminal. This place has the BEST baked goods I've had in my life. There is attention to detail in everything. Even the sausage in their beef kolache for the day you could tell was homemade. This place is worth a detour. Must come!

Definitely some of the best donuts I've ever had. You can tell that they really workshopped what they wanted to do and put real thought into the presentation and flavors. I went opening weekend, but it looks like they are already rotating different flavors through. I can't wait to try them all!

The doughnut of all doughnuts is here! I moved to Dallas from Chicago a few years back & one of the things I missed most was quality artisan doughnuts, and La Rue ANSERS THAT NEED! I tried the butterscotch brioche, chocolate brownie, strawberry shortcake, & pumpkin spice doughnuts. Every single one of them hit the mark with flavor, texture, and craving satisfaction!

I was looking for a donuts shop... not just any run of the mill donuts shop. I was looking for a place that would excite my taste buds and make me scream from the mountains tops how delectable the selection was. I have found that place at La Rue! I want to give extraordinary attention to the Chai Latte. I am a Chai Latte taste tester and this is #1 in my books. This place is quaint. It has cute merchandise to buy and the customer service is exceptional. The woman behind the counter knew everything about everything. Thanks for making my first visit an awesome experience!! I have already been two days in a row and I will be bringing my friends and family.

Co-workers and my self give this place 10 out of 10. The tomatillo pinwheel was my favorite. We be definitely stopping by again.

Holy moly these are the best donuts in Dallas!!! I've tried the plain, the cruller and the chocolate chip cookies, all amazing.

My favorite doughnut I've ever had in my life I had today and that was the French Toast doughnut chefs kiss is all I'm going to say ‍
