"Creatively glazed and finished with housemade toppings, touts the menu of New Orleans’ District Donuts when it comes to the Fancy doughnut, an ever-changing creation that might include garnishes like crumbled Oreos, rainbow sprinkles and tasty glazes."

Jane & Michael Stern

"Beignets are New Orleans’ signature fried dough, but this cheerful eatery makes a grand argument for regular donuts. Actually, regular is not the right word. Here are donuts of every imaginable (and unimaginable) variety."

Karlynn Johnston

"I chose the Brown Butter Pistachio donut, which was seriously the best donut I have ever eaten. The donut was a gorgeous yeasty creation that almost melts in your mouth with a lovely brown sugar glaze and toasted pistachios on top."

"As the name implies, DISTRICT excels at coffee, sliders, and donuts, all while making innovative changes to each."

Scott Gold

"They’re best known for their rotating cast of 200+ fanciful flavor combinations, with options like a maple-bacon-Sriracha donut topped with candied thyme, as well as a "red beans and rice" donut (just try it). But the true hero here is the "dough à la Mode," a warm griddled donut stuffed with Creole Creamery ice cream. Yeah, it’s as good as it sounds."

Munchies

"You’re not coming here for donuts—you’re coming here for donuts styled after banana pudding, a ginger-mint julep, tiramisu, dirty almond chai, and essentially anything these geniuses come up with that day."

Edible New Orleans

"If doughnuts dreamed, they'd dream of this place – where they'd be worshipped and adored in flavors like Limoncello & Poppyseed, Salted Caramel, Maple Siracha, and Nutella."

"The donuts at District are oversized indulgent treats made with unique ingredient combinations – have you ever heard of a Sriracha donut or bacon and banana combo!?"

Nalini Raghavan

"The donuts, ranging from fancy, cream-filled varieties to plain-Jane glazed, are not your grandmother’s donuts. They aren’t even your mother’s donuts. With lightly sweetened dough the consistency of angel food cake and airy fillings, these decadent treats are worth the trip alone."

Matt Sigur

"District's doughnuts are delectable treats made in small batches with flavors rotating daily. The crew adds toppings like cookie dough and doberge cake to make it more gluttonous. Personally, our favorite is the classic chocolate glazed with a few sprinkles on it."
