It looks Iike it would be a fun place to try- decor is fun, bright, bold. Staff weren't overly friendly-meaning, no one said hello or made contact just stood at the register. We decided not to order when we saw there were flies closed inside with the donuts. This is a huge problem. read more

I'm a local and this place has really gone downhill which is why you probably won't see a single customer inside. I entered and the worker unenthusiastically stood up from his seat. 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 read more

A great donut spot! This was close to our hotel and we came here to scope things out. I came here for breakfast before leaving the hotel. I had to let someone go ahead of me as I needed some more time to peruse the offerings. I ended up going with the Andes Mints donut. WOW! They did not skimp on the toppings! Service was friendly and efficient. Plenty of seating and it smells amazing! read more

You can't wrap up a day in New Orleans without stopping at Hurts Donut Company. At first, I was puzzled by the name, why would a donut shop be called "Hurts"? Well... now I know. Each donut is the size of a medium dinner plate! Holy cow. It kind of hurt after the three of us finished six donuts... but they were so good we couldn't stop eating. New Orleans does everything big and bold, but these donuts are something else. They're not overly sweet, the dough is just right, not too chewy, not too soft , just perfectly balanced. Hands down some of the best donuts in New Orleans. There are so many creative and interesting flavors. My favorites were the King Cake donut and the fritters. Go try a variety and find your own favorites. There's paid parking nearby, but if you're staying close, I'd definitely recommend walking over. Go hungry and be ready to understand why they call it "Hurts"! read more

The donut selection is amazing, and they are absurdly delicious and satisfying. The big negative was no coffee - their machine was out of order and there was no coffee to be had. I'm sorry, but coffee and donuts go together like salt and pepper or peanut butter and jelly. Luckily Chik-Fil-A next sells coffee, and that saved the morning. read more

Donuts!!! Gut bombs, diet pills, dog nuts, loce handles, etc. Whatever you like to call them. Lots of incredible choices but I can't do the too-sugary options like I used to. Like the traditional options more now than ever. Co-worker had the Boston Cream and he said it was packed full of delicious cream. I chose the glazed red velvet and it was delish. Fresh, soft, and moist. Cool kitchen view area where you can see the bakers at work. read more

It's smells AMAZING! There's a large variety and I wanted to buy 12 and take a bite of each. But I didn't! I chose blueberry streusel, caramel coconut on chocolate cake donut and Boston creme. The blueberry streusel is divine. It's a blueberry cake donut and I don't think it even needs the streusel, it's absolutely decadent. The chocolate coconut caramel is on a chocolate cake donut, which is perfectly done and topped with caramel and coconut. I like it but the topping could've been more... wet. The Boston creme was so so so yummy. The yeast donut was so light and fluffy and the creme was light and sugary. The chocolate topping was thick and the very best bite. I want to go tomorrow and try the Bart Simpson, strawberry filled and Nutella filled! Definitely worth a stop in! 10/10 recommend! read more

Hurts Donuts blew me away--hands down the best donut I've ever had in my life! The texture was perfect: soft, fluffy inside with just the right amount of sweetness. The flavors are out of this world and totally unique. Whether you're into classics or crazy toppings, they've got something for everyone. This place isn't just a donut shop--it's an experience. I'd go out of my way just to get another one. If you haven't tried Hurts Donuts yet, what are you doing with your life?! read more

Large well decorated donuts. There are numerous flavors to choose from. Plus they are reasonably priced. Unfortunately they didn't taste as good as they looked. We expected them to be more flavorful. The sprinkled donut was the best, the others were okay, drier and less exciting. They are frosted well and have ample toppings. read more

Hurts has the biggest variety of specialty donuts that I've ever seen! I don't frequent donut shops often because my metabolism would never forgive me but every now and then, usually for my events, I'll pay them a visit. My personal favorites include the bacon log, the apple fritter and red velvet. All so good but sooooo sweet. I definitely have to leave some space in between visits...like a month or two! read more

This place was right next to the hotel where I was for a conference. There were LOTS of varieties, specialty options. It was hard to choose, and the person on the counter was not interested in helping me pick a doughnut. Lol. Ultimately I got six different ones and they were all pretty tasty. They probably were better earlier in the day. read more

Based solely off the big a** cinnamon roll...this place is really good! Literally one of the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had. So many layers, not too much cinnamon, not a dry bite at all, just enough sweet glaze and it can easily feed 4-6 people easily! read more

You can smell and feel the vibes just by passing by this place. We walked pass Hurts Donuts on the way to Chapter IV leaving the Hyatt Regency, and the smell was making my taste buds dance, and my tummy sing. Walking back to the Hyatt we passed Hurts again, and this time we turned and walked inside. Hurts have an heaven scent you can not ignore. Service was really great! They have so many gorgeous decorative pastries. I just wanted two donut holes. Because I was so fully from Chapter IV, they lady handed me two donut holes and they just melts in your mouth. They are slightly larger than any other donut holes I've ever had. My friend still placed an order of a dozen and a half, and what ever else he selected. They have a 2.5 pound cinnamon roll, and no other cinnamon rolls to offer. that Cinnamon roll can feed a half a dozen of people. Only suggest I would make is possible place the donut holes in a tiny box, it was sticky on the outside of the bag when I heated them up for breakfast the following day... and they still as very good. I ate them with my crawfish étouffée, and they were paired nicely together. read more

Hurts Donuts is right beside my organization's New Orleans office. When visiting on a business trip, some co workers and I visited one morning. There are so many donuts to try! I went with the classic with maple icing. The donut was so good! If I'm ever in the area again, I'd stop by. read more

We were so excited to see the doughnut sign from a block away- we only had 10 minutes to catch our bus. When entering I was glad to see no one in line. The place was bright and cute decor. There we 3 people at the counter we told the we were in a bit of a hurry and started picking out doughnuts- the older lady couldn't find the ones we were pointing to and the two young ladies were counting the donation box money. They finally came over and showed her which one (even though we were pointing) Got our doughnuts after taking the box to close it ourselves. (Made the bus) The doughnuts overall were disappointing- the chocolate, chocolate mint and red velvet had tasty frosting but the doughnut part was Really dry. Glazed one was fresh and soft. Lemon didn't taste like anything. The best one was the sprinkle doughnut it had good flavor and fresh. read more

While staying at the Hyatt Regency, which is right next door, I saw this place one morning and the line inside indicated it might be a popular donuts joint, so I stopped in. I intended to simply buy a single donut, because I had to travel to the airport and fly back home in a few hours, but after looking at their very impressive selection of donuts in the display case, I opted for a half dozen instead. The lady working the counter was very helpful and their selection of donuts and eclairs and those types of pastries were amazing! I left with my box of donuts and everyone I encountered, from the place I ate breakfast to the airport commented on my box of "Hurts" donuts! Eveidently, this is a very popular place and rightly so, the donuts were amazing! When I got home, I had the éclair for dessert after dinner. I also tried their Andes donut (has Andes candies on it) and a peanut butter cup style donut and each were amazing! Highly recommend stopping in!! read more

I came across this hidden gem while attending a conference and let's just say you're not going to be disappointed. It's even better in the 6 in the morning if you're a morning person to get you an old fashioned, the Homer, or the chocolate covered yeast doughnuts. I know it's a long sentence but you get my gist. This is a great donut shop to take care of your sweet cravings. The shop was clean with a large glass display of many varieties. The customer service was filled with that sweet southern hospitality. read more

Service was uninspired to say the least and I'm 99% they double charged us on purpose (I saw the look between the two employees and also I can read a menu board. Alas, I was not paying so I let it be as not to cause a scene. As for donuts, I've heard Hurts is good, but my local Kansas Daylight Donuts can't be beat. Would not go back, especially in New Orleans..:you will be taken advantage of. read more

If a donut joint has anything red velvet cake on the menu, I know it's going to be good! I recently tried the red velvet cake milkshake at Hurts Donuts, and to my surprise, it came topped with an actual donut!! and had blended donut pieces inside. Talk about amazing! Whilst Hurts Donuts might be a challenge for your waistline, it's worth every calorie. Enjoy this place in moderation and savor the creativity and flavor they bring to the table. Hurts Donuts definitely gets my FYE stamp of approval! read more

Currently wondering WHY this place doesn't have more reviews?! Came in here on a whim because I was staying right around the corner and was craving something sweet. The service...amazing! The guy working the counter was so passionate, helpful and steered us in the absolute right direction! He gave us his honest opinion and without him, I wouldn't have fell in lust with a donut. They have a variety of donuts- something for everyone wether you prefer a cake style, old fashioned or yeasty concoction with all the fixings. I'm not big on cake style donuts but the blueberry streusel was out of this world and I cannot wait to go back and get a whole dozen of these. Just YUM and a must try!!! We tried several different kinds and were crazy about the blueberry streusel, red velvet and Bavarian cream with chocolate. We didn't really care for the Bart Simpson (chocolate cake with butter finger sprinkles). The chocolate cake was on the dry side and just mediocre. We didn't have coffee but they have plenty to chose from! Cappuccinos, lattes, etc. We were told that the donuts stay good for a few days. Loved that! Most donuts you get need to be eaten fresh or they're just not the same. We didn't get to test this theory, they didn't even last 24 hours! Maybe next time?! read more

They have a large selection of very pretty doughnuts. All that decorating is probably why freshness appears to be an issue. Not that the freshness matters cause, to me and more importantly to my kids, they are so sweet as to be basically inedible. I don't think I've ever tasted anything as sweet as these doughnuts. My sugar junkie kids were even turned off. Though the freshness might have had something to do with it. They are relatively expensive doughnuts, it was a shame to toss 2 boxes of them in the trash. We won't be back read more

Creative donut shop will have kids especially clamoring for one with candy or cereal toppings. I'm turning in to an old man I guess, because while I see the novelty of these, I didn't think they were donuts I'd regularly select from their choices. They make a decent donut but I found them overpriced. I recommend the shop, and I love the name, but I was hoping for better. To be fair, my expectations were probably too high. They make a quality product and serve them fresh. Still a solid recommendation. read more

No one ever goes to New Orleans for donuts.... it's beignets all the way.......but...... I encountered the motherland of donuts. The place was cute and clean. The service was awesome. I tried a few of the server's favorites. They might be costly for some but I buy gourmet donuts and I didn't find them too expensive. $16 for any 6 round ones for free. It took me a few days to eat all 6. They were filling!!! I wanted a nap after trying to eat 2. Out of the ones I tried: Old fashioned: Good. Classic. But meh in comparison to the others. Cookie Monster: My baby loves Cookie. I got it for her. They have them in pink and blue. Blue colors your tongue. My baby is an adult! Apple Pie: Super filling. Huge. It was a favorite. S'more: Good. Strawberry Cheesecake: Filled. A favorite. Server's Choice. Fruity Pebbles: A surprising favorite. Another server's favorite. I normally don't like filling....I loved these. I'm still working out. read more

My favorite doughnut shop in the city!! The doughnuts are nice and fluffy and have dough without being too heavy. They also reheat well. Coffee here is average. My kid loves the maple bacon doughnut. Service is always friendly and fast and the place is nice if you want to sit in and enjoy your doughnuts. The parking is troublesome since they opened the Chic-Fil-A but it's worth it. read more

Smelled like bleach when I walked in. Well, at least we know they clean throughout the day. The young lady cleaning with the bleach was also the one handling the money/credit cards and the food (donuts). Not her fault. But this is not standard food service handling. The young lady did not include wet wipes or napkins. I took a few on my way out, from off the dine-in tables. Add napkins to peoples order y'all or sani-wipes. Otherwise, the lady working was pleasant and had a sweet mannerism which I appreciated. The donuts were good. I had the bacon maple glaze and it did not disappoint on the generous bacon amount. Appreciate that! The other was a Nuttela donut. I didn't eat but a pinch (just to check on it! ;0) ) it too, was good. I'm not sure but I think the Nutella is in the chocolate scoop at the center of the donut. The donut isslef is a cinnamon crusted, almost beignet-like cake dough. i didn't taste Nutella but like I mentioned it's probably in the chocolate center. Thank you Hurts. Well located - right next door to the hotel I was in .I wished I woulda gone here first before the nearby restaurant that was super disappointing. I was thinking "Heck I couldve just got the maple bacon and a cute drink or coffee here, and been good for dinner!" Sometimes dinner as donuts is all ya need. read more

Hurts Donut - Andes mint donut - Donuts Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Placed an Uber eats order for a random assortment and requested no fruit and they mostly delivered. I ended up with the following half dozen: Jesus, Andes mint, Caramel delight, Streusel, Blueberry, and Old fashioned and I added on a Cookie Monster as well. I have to say, the streusel one was probably my favorite. It was incredibly fluffy and light and amazing. Second favorite was probably the old fashioned. Third may have been Jesus. I would say I didn't love the caramel delight as it had coconut on it and the cake donut was way too dense. I didn't mind that I got Blueberry actually and it had a lot of flavor but it may have been too much flavor. Mint was definitely a lot of flavor but again was overpowering. Cookie Monster could probably be a kids favorite and it was a good yeast donut but I think the blue goop just got to me and also colored my lips blue. read more
