I decided to DoorDash from Buttermilk Drop Bakery and Cafe, and I am so glad I did! The order was prepared quickly and was still warm when it arrived. I started off with a honey butter biscuit, which was soft yet crispy on the outside and had a nice sweet flavor. The only downside was that butter wasn't included in the order, so it was on the drier side. I then got an order of pancakes, which were delicious. I love when pancakes have a crispy edge where it was cooked in butter, and these did that perfectly. The smothered potatoes were unlike anything I have had before and were flavorful and a nice side. I then decided to try the glazed beignets, which were a nice sweet treat to end the meal with. They were a little dense, but I still enjoyed them! I will definitely be back if I find myself in New Orleans again! read more

This was one of the first places I tried after moving to New Orleans and absolutely fell. in. Loveeee with their Pecan Glazed Beignets! They melt in your mouth and you'll have zero self control trying to save some for later. Went a second time and they were sold out and it was still early in the morning! People here are so friendly and this is definitely a locals spot! Can't wait for my sister to come into town so I can take her here! read more

The Buttermilk Drop - Honey bun! No corner store honey buns here ! - Bakeries Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

We visited April 2026. The woman behind the glass was the absolute sweetest! The moment she saw me, she said, "You're a pretty little thing!"--and with my very New Jersey accent, we immediately hit it off. She was so kind and genuinely helpful. She helped us pick out some really great donuts and pointed out the fan favorites, as well as a few she thought we would enjoy. I'm particularly skinny, so my best friend always has to tell people, "Don't let her size fool you--she can EAT!" And let me tell you, these donuts gave me plenty of reason to eat! My absolute favorites were the jelly-filled donut and the crème-filled donut. Dunkin' Donuts could NEVER. The shop itself doesn't have a seating area and, at first glance, looks more like a factory than a traditional donut shop--but sometimes that's exactly where some of the best food comes from! Everything felt fresh, and you can tell they're focused on making great donuts. Amazing staff, amazing donuts, and such a welcoming experience. PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS!!! You won't regret it! read more

I loved the chicken and beignets. The chicken was friend to perfection and the glaze on the beignets was so delectable! It is a carry out location but the employees are so nice and explained the menu to my party and the patrons after me. The whole locations smells like grandma's so good times for me. We will be back for the red velvet donuts! read more

Some of the best donuts I've ever had in my entire life. I was in from Buffalo, NY hanging out with some friends, and I wanted to treat them, and when I say Nene hooked us up, I really do mean she hooked us up. Wasn't sure what I wanted, and she said she'd make me a box. I trusted her, and she did not disappoint! read more

I ordered a breakfast melt with bacon, grits with shredded cheddar, and a honey butter biscuit. The breakfast melt was a bacon, egg, and cheese on thick Texas toast griddled in butter. The grits were also super cheesy, but I found them a little lumpy and wanting for salt. The portions were so generous I couldn't get to the biscuit. read more

I tried the chicken and waffles. It's chicken, wings and flaps, just average. The apple fritter was very large , tasty however, it was also extremely greasy. The rice hash had a very funny taste to it. The rice was way overcooked it was almost mushy. However, the potato hash and the grits were good. read more

Pretty close to the famous McKenzie buttermilk drops of old. Wasn't disappointed at all.

So I finally made it back to the buttermilk drop. I finally got the hangover omelette when I tell you it exceeded all my expectations full of meat cheese fluffy. This is the best omelette that I've had this year and I got three buttermilk drops to go with it read more

Visiting new Orleans and looking for good local food. Found and went in at 10 am on a Saturday. Line not long but consistent as this is a popular place. Reasonable prices and workers are friendly and nice. No indoor seating so got it to go. Seafood grits breakfast was delicious and a lot of food. My friend got Louisiana omelet and said it was good. Saw the chicken and waffles that included 5 pieces looked great but didn't try it. I also had the beignet with icing and pecans. It was 4 pieces and decadent. I would recommend this place but go early. By 10 they were out of bacon and hash browns but sausage and tater tots more than filled in. 4 + stars read more

For a hearty breakfast, go to this takeout-only, no-frills bakery inside a bare space. The people who create and sell the food are friendly and patient. From chicken and waffles to coffee, they have it all. I ordered a bag of $12 buttermilk donut holes for $2.50. The donut holes were sweet and large. They take credit cards. read more

It's a 5 for me dawg! Not my first time here but my first review. This 5 is for everything thing all rolled into one aka body of work not just one experience. You may go one day and they are out of hash or good too late and there is no food. Even the credit card machine could be down. It may be crowded but the line moves fast and the people working serve you with a smile. *le sigh* I am hopping ya'll to another one of my go to hidden gems in NOLA. Pro tip: They open at 6am. Go early. The earlier the better. True. You can DoorDash and the like but do it early! Some of you ask asking what is a buttermilk drop? For the uninitiated think of a big donut hole at the top of its game glazed to perfection. What else do you get? The bakery is on one side. The savory food on the other. Whatever you want for breakfast is available. Grits (no sugar, please. In how reviews with grits have I said this?), eggs, bacon, turkey sausage, fried chicken, breakfast rice. Yes! Breakfast rice. It saves lives! In the simplest of terms and for descriptive purposes only think of friend rice. Got the picture? Take out the carrots and peas. Add green onions and bits of link sausage, ground sausage, maybe bacon? Check out the picture. This deliciousness fixes whatever ails you from the night before. Speaking of pics, I know. You can hear the crunch on the chicken right? Tastes as good as it looks. Just a wee hint of spice. I didn't get a pic of a buttermilk drop (use ya googles) but I did get a pic of my Apple fritter. Big enough to share but I am not. Pro tip 2: Bring ya patience and your manners with you to the 7th ward. The Buttermilk Drop isn't some glorified tourist trap. read more

This is a top two donut shop in New Orleans. I will go here specifically for a buttermilk drop and one of their apple fritters, which is easily the best apple fritter in the city. Service is great and staff is always welcoming. Coming here on a weekend will continue to be a tradition of mine. Plus, the pricing really cannot be beat! read more

The Buttermilk Drop - king cake buttermilk drop, cake donut with chocolate glaze, the best dang apple fritter in the city - Bakeries Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Buttermilk drop for the win again! Fresh delicious donuts it's in the name because that's what they do perfectly. The buttermilk drops have a nice crunchy outside and a soft cake like inside and very delicious and the prices can't be beat. I'm also a fan of the apple fritter which has a decent amount of apple bits throughout the soft interior and the perfect amount of glaze outside. This is definitely a spot that's worth driving to If not to get the original buttermilk drops everything else. They also serve breakfast in the mornings. read more

Omgoodness this place is delicious!!! I ordered Postmates and the driver was extremely late, I just knew it would be gross and cold.., but, SIKE!! Even cold the food was seasoned well and delicious! The fried chicken made my mouth SIIING!!! Yummy, so yummy. Tender on the inside and crispy golden brown on the outside. Tater tots were good too and seasoned Bacon & eggs were delicious and cooked just the way I like them, scrambled and the bacon lightly crispy but soft. (I know, I'm a weirdo). Pancakes were not my favorite, but ok, a little too much dough for me, but it did not stop my son. I ordered what I thought was glazed donuts, you know, with the hole in the middle, but instead I got these big glazed nuts! Oops, I mean Knots! The best part of all of this.... THE PRICES!! I could not believe how reasonable the prices are!! I ordered A LOT, just to try them out and it all came up to only $42.92 , I still cannot believe it. YIPPIE!!! *Spencer & Richard, one day I'll be able to write reviews as dope as yours! Lol. (Thanks for the inspiration) read more
