The Buttermilk Drop

This place is amazing. The regular donuts were fine, but the buttermilk drops are truly the star of the show. We got original and red velvet flavors. The red velvet is very good; the original is astonishingly delicious. The appearance of the place may be off putting; don’t let it. It’s open and the man behind the counter was so kind and friendly. I told my son that this bakery is exactly representative of New Orleans: it doesn’t always look open or even functional at first glance. But do a little investigating and you will end up with some delicious food and find friendly, kind, welcoming people.

I ate here twice while visiting NOLA. The food was good and decently priced. The staff were friendly and service was quick. I ordered pancakes with eggs and bacon one day and cheesy eggs & grits with sausage the next. I sampled my friends waffles and potatoes too. I also had a glazed donut and original and blueberry buttermilk drops. The only thing I didn’t like were the brownies which looked amazing but lacked the flavor I expected.

The food is so good I ordered bacon egg and cheese croissant and fried chicken wings omg the food was delicious like grandma cooking. I went next door and also brought donuts balls the best donuts ever…. Food so good will be back when we visit New Orleans again..

Ordered through doordash and the order was wrong. It was 6:30 am top of the morning. I recieved someone else’s food. Wasn’t what I ordered. The eggs looked runny. The donuts didn’t look fresh to say it was top of the morning. Ordered 2 cranberry juice and they took the money and bagged 2 waters instead. I could go on but long story short I’m never eating there again.

Great place to go for a sweet tooth. Everything is fresh and tasty. The dough has a nice citrusy/lemon back flavor. Different and loved it. Try the Buttermilk Drop. Deliciousness.

Truly disgusting and I wasted my money. I tried to call the restaurant and the number wasn’t working. Burned rice and old potatoes. Got two plates that were completely inedible. Ordered off Uber eats and couldn’t get a refund. If you know you’re food is not quality at the moment, cancel the order instead of making loyal customers waste money during a time like this. Ridiculous. It was the worse breakfast plate I’ve ordered in New Orleans completely inedible.the meals look affordable and sound appetizing but far from it. Do not waste your money here.

The buttermilk drops and honey buns are fantastic! There was a short line when I was there on a Friday morning.

The cashier was very nice, but the quality of the donuts were not. The glaze is way too thick it’s more like icing instead of a glaze. The raisin squares were too dense it was more like a cinnamon roll in a square shape and again the glaze was way too thick. The glaze donut was the same, too dense and loaded with icing.

AMAZE-BALLS!!! Just like the name, Buttermilk Drops is where it’s at! So soft and moist - you just have to savor it and enjoy the moment! These are addicting! Def a distraction from the Beignets!

Love, Love, Love! I’m always going to The Buttermilk Drop to get their Buttermilk Drops. They are so good and I’m So. Freaking. ADDICTED!! They melt in your mouth! I love their breakfast as well— they have a great breakfast menu which I order from often. Service has always been great each time I’ve visited. Tasty food + great service, you can not go wrong. Highly recommended! Please get the Buttermilk Drops:
