Blue Dot Donuts

This place has many yummy donuts that will satisfy any sweet tooth. They make all the staples and some tasty unique varieties like red velvet, wedding cake and maple & bacon bars! Reasonable prices along with ultra friendly staff earn this place 5 stars!!! Glad I found this place!!!

After reading all the reviews I was expecting something amazing. I had the maple bacon bar which was a little too sweet for me and the peanut butter and banana. It was good but not great.
I will probably go back and try some others if I’m close by. Prices weren’t bad I got both donuts for under $ 5.

I was thoroughly impressed with the donuts here. We bought 4 donuts (1 a 2.99 maple bacon log), 1 regular chocolate sprinkle, 1 filled lemon, and 1 red velvet cake and after tax came out to around $ 6.00. Very reasonably priced. They were also very good, tasted very fresh and were fluffy without too much dough. The lemon cream filled one was nothing special. The other ones, however, were very good. I loved the icing on all and the red velvet cake one was delicious without being overpoweringly sweet. Will definitely be back earlier to try more of their flavors.

Blue dots it’s now 9 o’clock and you have run out of my favorite donut for the 100^th time bye bluedots hello district donuts

Great donut place, but nothing spectacular.

Y’all, these are some pretty solid donuts. Not too greasy, lots of flavors. My fiancé and I got a whole slew of donuts when we went. I love their cake donuts! The blueberry is right up my alley and the strawberry cake donut is soooooooooooooooooooo good. Got the chocolate and coconut frosted regular donut too. Decent coffee! Solid place.

I love this place. People often try to compare District Donuts and Blue Dot but they’re just in two totally different categories. When it comes to classic delicious donuts, Blue Dot is the best in town. As others have said, they ARE prone to run out of the good stuff really early. That’s the only downside. I went at 8 on a Thursday morning and they were already out of 50% of the donuts for the day. With that said, if you get there early, you’re in for a real treat. I recommend the apple fritters, red velvet donuts, cake donuts, and maple bacon logs. Huge upside is the value of Blue Dot. A dozen donuts for 9 bucks? Can’t beat it.

Been wanting to try this place so bad after hearing so many good things about the Bacon Maple Long John, after only finding out that they had ran out when we got there at 9:30. Seriously? I did not think it was that late to get a donut. So we settled for the following:
— Glazed — I thought this was mediocre, a bit doughy, not too sweet, but nothing special
— Blueberry Donut — this was also mediocre, nothing special
— Wedding Cake Donut — this was delicious and very tasty
— Butter drop Cake Donut — thought this was also mediocre
— Key Lime Pie Filled — perfect amount of filling and lime flavoring, this was delicious
I am never really in the area, but if I ever am around here early in the morning, I still want to try the Bacon Maple Long John!

These donuts are amazing. I went about 30 minutes before closing and got fresh donuts. The maple bacon bar is delicious. We also got a red velvet, smores, and boston cream. All were amazing. Went back the next day about an hour to close and while there were many less donuts in the case, they still tasted fresh and they were also discounted. A little odd that they were not discounted the day before, but they are not overpriced anyways so I didn’t really mind. This is way better than District Donuts which has better reviews but was incredibly underwhelming. You really cannot beat the price and selection at Blue Dot.

Just landed from my morning flight into New Orleans and headed to a meeting for the day. Before I was about to buckle down in a meeting room, I quickly looked up a donut place so I can fuel our day with some sugary treats! Blue Dot had a lot of great reviews, with some tantalizing variety of donuts, so I jetted there as soon as I got into my rental car to get 2 dozen donuts.
My variety consisted of Banana cream filled with Nutella topping, red velvet with cream cheese frosting, blueberry cake, bacon maple bars, Eclairs, sprinkled, glazed, and so no. Needless to say, I think I had a chance to sample a bit of everything.
With the high reviews and array of donuts to select from, I couldn’t believe this place wasn’t that memorable for me. Sure, the flavor combos seemed to be good mixes, but I was looking for the fluffy, airy, delicate but sinful flavor when biting into these, and these descriptors were no where to be found. Are they good? Of course. they’re deep fried bundles of dough! However, when going back to NOLA this place isn’t on my must haves list.

WOW! King cake donuts?! What more could I want here in New Orleans! Seeing the tiny plastic baby laying on the side of the bright green, purple, and white sugar coated donut! Honestly, staring into the case was a magical experience, seeing the numerous donuts laid out, the options were endless! I came with two of my other friends to this place, so as soon as we went in, all of us could smell the amazing decadent donuts through the case! Anywho, let’s go on to what I chose:
Red Velvet Cake Donut (3.9÷5.0)
The donut itself was delicious, the creamy frosting on top tasted like cream cheese, and the red velvet cake crumble on the frosting gave it much more texture. My only complaint would have to be the lack of moisture. Whenever I bit into the donut, certain sides of it were somewhat dry and hard. I’m sure if the donut was much more moist, the experience would’ve been heavenly overall. The appearance of the donut which resembled a red velvet cake in itself was gorgeous, which made it a must have on my first visit.
Banana with Peanut Butter (The Elvis, is what I would call it. 4.5÷5):
Now whenever I went on campus and started giving out donuts to random friends, everyone seemed off putted by the idea of a donut with banana and peanut butter. It was actually kind of odd, what could make people veer away from it as much as they do? Is the idea really that unappealing? Well, needless to say when I went home, I carried the one donut with me that no one wanted.
Similar to life, looks are deceiving. After I had my dinner, I decided to share the donut with my dad. As I stared down at the donut, I thought to myself:
«Why is it that no one wants you?»
So, I took a bite, and to my surprise, the donut was amazing. Even better then the red velvet! The peanut butter gave the donut a creamy texture, while the filling was banana cream.
You may have noticed in my other photo that I had another donut, the one with the white swirls and a red gummy bear (strawberry) in the center. That one was actually the strawberry cream cheese who I gave to one of my friends. She had no complaints besides the fact that the donut was lacking in a good amount of filling. After three of four bites she finally got to the jelly filled center. Overall, a great experience, and definitely a nice place to go when you have the time.

Good donuts for a good price. Had a jelly donut, and it was fabulous! One donut was enough to fill me up for a few hours!

I love Blue Dot. They make the best donuts in the city. Nevertheless, I needed to take a star away from them, as they simply do not make enough donuts on the weekends.
Especially since the closing of their uptown location, I find that they run out of most varieties of donuts VERY early on weekend mornings (I can not speak to the selection on weekdays, as I try not to eat donuts Monday-​Thursday). It is typical for them to have on a couple dozen left by 9:30 or 10 on a Sunday morning. I once went in to find them sold out of everything except a pair or ragged looking orange frosted cake donuts; needless to say, I left empty handed.
The donuts are mindbogglingly good, and the secret is out. Blue Dot, please make more donuts on the weekends. I implore you, please!
If you bake them, we will come.

After a friend referred me to Blue Dots I was skeptical. (she usually has bad taste) I have to say though, She was dead on. I was craving a maple Bacon donut the first time I came here but they was sold completely out. Its kind of first come first serve when it comes to speacialty donuts. So that day I settle on Maple bars and another raspberry filled treat. I know… not exotic enough for Unilocal but extremely tasty. Prices are not bad at all.
My only complaint is they are closed and Modays and parking is sometimes a hassle but all in all I love the place. The owner is very big on asking his customers for feedback. He then gave me a card and told me if I ever want something specially made to call up early and they would make whatever it was freash and ready to pick up for me. Now thats what I call good service. Blue Dot earned my business.

Delicious selection of donuts for a great price. Not a lot of seating — couple tables inside, couple tables outside. Most people grab and go. We however sat and enjoyed the morning. Bear claw was really good — fresh, good amount of cinnamon and apples. Chocolate glazed with sprinkles was a hit with my husband. Many specialty donuts with some not on the menu — like the snickers donut which was incredibly rich but to my dismay not actually made with snickers. Excellent service. We WILL return!

Wow. Just wow. The bear claw I had this morning was phenomenal.
The blueberry cake doughnut was good I didn’t expect it to be fried.
Holy hell the maple bacon doughnut was outstanding. The picture looks a bit beat up because it was put in a box but looks aren’t everything! Wow! So glad we decided to try this place and I love supporting LEO!

I came with a friend this morning a little after 9am. A friendly young lady was assisting customers, there were two in front of us. The service was quick. There was not much of a selection left. I tried the blueberry cake donut and the orange glaze donut. I am in love with the blueberry cake donut. The shop was neat, clean and very cute. I am only giving 3 stars due to the lack of selection. I will be back, and hopefully early in order to see more of a selection.

I’m not the biggest donut eater in the world, possibly because I don’t usually do much sweets (thankfully), and I enjoy original glazed donuts almost exclusively, but I have found myself making a stop at Blue Dot more often than I should. What hooked me? Their maple bacon long johns and blueberry donuts.
I’m not sure why I enjoy the maple bacon, since it is on the sweeter side. Let’s not forget the bacon fat sitting in the glaze that oozes with every bite, but nevertheless, this is one of the items that I always get when i’m at Blue Dot. The blueberry donut (not the blueberry glaze) is another of my favorites because… blueberries are delicious! And I do prefer the non-​glazed donuts more since they’re usually less sweet.
Another item they have during Mardi Gras season is the King Cake donut, which is possibly my favorite king cake out there — just cause it’s a king cake AND a donut! The texture is less dense than a king cake itself and just like a donut, with sugar sprinkles on top! Mmm…
The location of this Blue Dot is away from most other businesses and restaurants — but this does make the parking a bit easier. There is as five dollar minimum for credit card charges, which can sometimes be inconvenient, but hey, more donuts for everyone! There is some seating indoors and out, and though it’s not particularly trendy, there are usually people sitting around enjoying a cuppa with their scrumptilicious tdonuts.

Great little place. Had a blueberry iced cake donut and it was yum! While we were enjoying our donuts a gentleman came out with a tray of fresh blueberry muffins. He gave a free one to every patron present! I saved it for later, and yes, it was excellent. Get the maple bacon log donut. You won’t be disappointed.

IF YOU MISS HUBIG’S PIES opt for the glazed lemon-​cream filled.
IF STEEL MAGNOLIAS is your favorite movie, get the red velvet & cream cheese.
IF YOU’RE TOWED & FINED on street cleaning Thursday a box of 3 is just $ 4!
3 stars because they run out way too early
