District Donut & Coffee Bar

On our way to the zoo, we stopped for a quick snack. We tried the cinnamon roll and a couple of drinks. Unfortunately, we were not huge fans of the cinnamon roll. The flavor was a little strange, and the texture between the hard sugar glaze--think cream brulee--and the slightly undercooked dough was off-putting. The drinks were good.The service was fine, and the order was ready quickly. It would have been nice if they had wormed it up a little more, which might have fixed the texture issue. There is nowhere to sit inside at this location, but a couple of small benches are attached to the outside of the building where there is some shade.

This place was a short walk from where I was staying. I checked the reviews and me and my wife decided to give it a try. The building is small but nice inside. I read about bad service, but did not experience this. We were greeted warmly and even joked with the barista. My wife ordered salted caramel latte and I ordered the fresh squeezed lemonade. She enjoyed her latte and said it was good. My lemonade was AMAZING! We also ordered a glazed doughnut which we both found tasty. The bacon, egg and cheese kolache was also good.

I was in the mood for a cinnamon roll, and a quick search online told me that District Donut was the place to try! The cinnamon roll was unlike any I've had before: it was fluffy, generously filled with cream cheese frosting, and brûléed on top, adding a really delicious, crunchy layer of caramelized sugar ($4.75). It was also huge - it filled the entire doughnut box!I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee, which honestly was disappointing. I'm not accustomed to NOLA coffee shops' use of crushed ice, and I can safely say I am not a fan. There was so much ice and so little coffee, and the coffee itself tasted weak (with no distinguishable chicory flavor)...mostly like condensed milk. In total, I got five sips of coffee - at $4.60 for the cup, that's almost $1 a sip!The shop is tiny, basically a grab-and-go. It has limited outdoor seating, but the seats have seen better days, were sticky with some unknown substance, and were missing slats of wood. We ended up walking across the street to Whole Foods, which has ample outdoor seating. I definitely thought the cinnamon roll was worth the stop in, and given the high quality of the baking, I'd check out one of their more full-service locations in the future.

Great location and a cute spot. That being said, remarkably unfriendly and unwelcoming staff. Almost laughable.

If you're on magazine street, this is the place to stop for coffee. This was the first place I've tried a Vietnamese coffee and instantly fell in love. I just LOVE this spot. They even added outdoor picnic tables so you can sit outside and enjoy your coffee.

Revisited recently as friends, former residents, were in for Jazzfest and wanted to try this "cute" spot. Bitter coffee is still being served by a self-preoccupied staff. Doughnuts were good, but should be great for the price. No wonder the B Rouge location closed it's doors.

Cute little donut coffee shop.We arrived in the rain so it was easy breezy and all to ourselves. I chose the Vietnamese Iced Coffee donut along with the Caramel Glaze Latte. I enjoyed both although I was slightly underwhelmed with my donut. It was coffee glaze, condensed milk pastry cream, tapioca pearls and chicory sugar- sounds phenomenal but I couldn't really and truly identify the flavors which may partly be my own fault for ordering a latte too rich in flavor. When it got time for my donut, it wasn't a party in my mouth as I was expecting. The condensed milk was a little watered down so not as thick and sweet as expected. Overall it's a donut...so I'm not mad at it but definitely wasn't as amazing for me as it sounded.They have plenty of options but noted no vegan ones which was a bummer for my husband whose plant based but they had good beverage options with non-dairy substitutes. In South Florida we're used to every spot having at least one option whether it's a donut, a muffin, a something...that's plant-based but in either case it's a sweet spot.

I would give this place a negative 0 if I could...terrible service!!! We arrive literally standing in line for 10:59 and we were informed we could not order breakfast. The manager was a totally butt about accommodating PAYING CUSTOMERS. This is not how you do business! I'm a professional on many levels and I know how business should be conducted! No WONDER their location in Baton Rouge is closing. You can't thrive with terrible service in this industry! #districtdonuts The Magazine Street location.

The coffee I got was pretty good, but the barista was very rude. Came in at 1:40 (admittedly mistaking that they closed at 3) and she very bluntly said "we close in 10 mins so all we have is a little coffee." Whoops!!

I've been meaning to review District Donut for a while now. Their coffee is great, and I'm a particular fan of their cold brew. And, as the name suggests, their donuts are very good too, with the standout being their brûlée'd cinnamon roll, which is just phenomenal. (It's worth trying the breakfast sandwich too, though it could use a nice sauce.)
