The glazed donut was amazing because it was warm. The chocolate frosted was good but not great - the bottom isn't glazed and it was dense. The smoked Gouda grits were delicious - very heavy for breakfast but worth it. The matcha latte was disappointing. It was lower end matcha and not a proper proportion to the oat milk.

I said, hey how are you. He spoke and I said excuse me because I couldn't hear what was said. Turns out he had AirPods in and didn't even acknowledge that I had spoken. He just continued his conversation with no regards to my greeting. I ordered my two donuts and the entire transaction was in silence. The donuts are very subpar, the only reason i return is because of convenience. After ordering a total wasn't given, no receipt was offered, and no farewell. Im not expecting top notch service but it's just plain rude to be ignored. I'm not coming back and I hope this location closes to make space for something better. TLDR; terrible attitude, bad service

District meets the suburbs…read more I've been to the locations on Magazine and Harrison several times but 1st time I have been to this one. This one feels like a chain restaurant (which it now is) and has no real personality being pinned in between a bike shop and a Jersey Mike's inside of strip mall. The kolaches at District are really good. They have a variety of flavors, I usually get a smoked sausage, cheese and jalapeno which is tasty but this time I got a brisket boudin and cream cheese kolache in a collaboration with Gonzo's. This was phenomenal. I also got a regular glazed donut. This was not that good. It's too dense and too thick. I like my glazed donuts to be light and airy; I want it to almost melt in my mouth. All of District's donuts are thick. Most of them are good especially the banana pudding donut. The issue is these aren't really donuts more like cakes or just a dessert. If you are coming to get your order to go this place is fine but if you want to hang out, I prefer the other locations.

She explained that their Japanese donuts are made without flour and are very tasty. I'll have to try one for myself to confirm that lol but there is a nice selection of Japanese ice cream to accompany the donuts. They have strawberry, vanilla. butter pecan, red bean (IKR!!). cookie and cream, and sesame ice cream. There's also Yuzu and mango sherbet! Along with the donuts, they have fried Oreos and freshly baked apple pie. I was also encouraged to try their Korean shrimp and chicken. I only purchased three mochi donuts (buy two, get one free), not a bad deal. I think I'll stop by again and try that Korean style shrimp and chicken. The store is nicely decorated with a cute wall mural. I don't like a lot of sweets but depending on how these donuts taste, I'll be back.

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing visit to Sweet Things Metairie…read more From the moment I walked in, the service felt off. There were no menus visible, and when I asked what was available, the employee didn't offer any guidance--just asked what I wanted. When I said a dozen donuts, she pointed at the display and said "this is it." No explanation, no friendliness. Only after I specifically asked if they had breakfast sandwiches did she pull out a folded paper menu, which I found odd since it wasn't offered at the start. The biggest issue was the food quality. When I got to my car and opened the croissant breakfast sandwich, the bacon was completely burnt--so burnt it wasn't edible. I threw the entire sandwich away. The donuts were also handled poorly. Two of the iced donuts were placed upside down in the box, with the icing smashed and stuck to the packaging (as shown in the photos). Between the lack of customer service, poor food quality, and careless packaging, this was not a good experience. I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend it to others.

I had never been but was planning on bringing them to a friend who said he liked them. I ended up getting 6 glazed holes. In hindsight I'm glad I didnt get the donuts since the donut holes were dense and not great. I guess they are trying to reduce waste by stopping production so early but I wonder how much they lost with the people in front of and behind me who walked out.
