I will be in New Orleans for the Rush concert this Friday and I will stay in town through Saturday. Consequently, I plan on paying a visit to that lovely doughnut shop in the Garden District.

I have two questions:

1. What are the discounts or prices if you order in bulk (e.g. half-dozen or dozen)? I can't seem to find any prices other than the cost per doughnut.

2. Do they serve doughnuts until close or do they stop at a certain point in the day?

Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

They serve donuts till close. Place is a little overrated IMO. Sure they have unique donuts but at the end of the day, the GOAT donut, Glazed, is just not that good.

Thank you good, Sir.

Luckily I'm not going for their glazed doughnuts. However, I do plan on trying one just to see how it compares.

Have you ever tried their sliders or breakfast tacos?

A donut place that sells anything other than donuts is offensive.

Sliders are good. But I'd rather go to steins

They aren't a "donut shop". You obviously haven't been there.

I doubt they give much of a discount for bulk because that really isn't their thing. They sell some pretty wild donuts and I've liked everything I've ever gotten there.

The Kolaches, breakfast tacos, etc are all super legit.

First off, frick the term "bougie". I pray you are a female because no self-respecting man should use that term.

And what is lovely about such doughnuts is that they are delicious.

The fried chicken slider looks very appealing. Then again, everything on their menu looks good to me.

I have heard good things about Stein's. I was unaware that they did sliders. It's definitely on my list of "must-visit" dining establishments.

The sliders and other specialty items are better than the donuts.

I think they are still learning how to do a donut. I really can't say I've overly enjoyed any donut I've gotten from there. Bakers dozen, tastee, KK do better donuts. District goes in the overrated pile for me

To each his own. I tried five different doughnuts from them and I thought each was delicious in its own unique way.

Arseinclarse knows whats up. I'm going to be hard-pressed not to pick up one of those bad boys this weekend.

The issue with their donuts, to me at least, is they're entirely too heavy. The dough is very dense and the toppings take over the taste of the donut itself. They server what is more like mini cakes.

I've been wanting to try the wedding cake and toasted coconut. Their filling/icing are great. The cake needs a little work imo.
