BEST beignets of 4 different spots I've taste tested in Lake Charles. Hard stop. (Even without them…read morebeing warm. So that tells you everything you need to know.) I didn't think there was a world where I would enjoy or even consider a cold beignet. Wrong. If they're good and pillowy enough, you won't even notice. And the powdered sugar to dough ratio was perfect. Loved the drive thru and how quickly it moved. Great service and quality beignets. Cheers!

Honestly, when I looked at the pictures on Yelp I did not expect much, but I was pleasantly…read moresurprised once I tasted their goods and was glad that I went. I tried two of their versions of a kolache, which they spell different signifying the difference from a traditional kolache and their version. First was a ham and cheese with jalapeno and the second one was a boudin. Both were really good but I preferred the boudin but that's just me. I also bought an apple fritter which my wife enjoyed. Will do it again when I'm back in Lake Charles.

I gave 'em a shot & I swear I heard angels singing, the moment I bit into that 1st glazed donut !!!!! I've never tasted such a delicious donut in my life. They melt in your mouth, and they taste like no donut I've ever tasted. I wish I could properly describe the heavenly taste of Nelson's donuts. Please just take my word for it, they're the best donut you'll ever eat. I've sampled a whole lotta' donuts, across several cities/states for nearly 40 years, and I can easily say Nelson's has the best donuts ever ! My youngest daughter and I make a special trip to Nelson's, a couple of times each week during the summer, and 1-2 x's a month during the school year. She looks forward to it, & everyone there treats us like family. Hearing the news that Nelson caught on fire, recently, actually made me feel emotional. Nelson's is an institution in Lake Charles & none of the donut shops can replace them. I hope Mr Nelson himself knows how desperate the community is to see them back in action.

They were all so patient, kind and willing to help. The cronuts are something to write home about lol. They're huge, they're filled and they have so many flavors available. The cinnamon rolls are insane! They're HUGE. The kolaches.....um yes get you several!!!! I then topped off my order with a mocha frappe and it was the creamiest thing ever. If this place was in Houston I'd never go to Starbucks again in my life. The fruit teas are so delicious and with real fruit, no synthetic syrups. If you're even remotely close to lake Charles, go here!!! But do it before 2 or you'll be out of luck.

There were a few spaces at the front of the business so I grabbed one and walked up to the window and placed my order. With this many customers there aren't many products sitting around getting stale, I ordered a dozen glazed and they handed me a box filled with piping hot donuts that would immediately dissolve in your mouth with each bite. As much as I wanted to devour a few more I was taking them to my mom and dad's to have with coffee about 20 minutes away so I waited. These donuts were only $10 a dozen, it's no wonder the local are lining up for them. Hot Fresh Donuts without a "flashing sign"...

They have a drive thru, which makes you think it's fast but I ordered (after waiting in line a while) and then they made me go and park while I waited for my order. That's fine, get your line moving, I can wait. But I DID NOT expect to wait 20 minutes one time and 25 minutes another time on a couple of sandwiches. I allotted myself plenty of time to grab breakfast and get to work, but I did not expect to be waiting nearly a half hour. If youre in a rush, grab some breakfast croissant sandwiches from Burger King . They're 2 for $4.
