Dippin Donuts — Restaurant in Lake Charles

So if you don’t know, Dippin Donuts on Nelson is amazing. The owners not only remember my family and our orders but also regularly ask about my daughters, check in on us, and are genuinely caring amazing people. I say this because my father, who lived with us until he passed of cancer last fall, would always have me bring him an apple fritter on the weekends. After he passed I stopped ordering the apple fritter, but every time when I get home it’s always there. It took me until today to really process that they don’t know my father passed, but they do know I might need that extra apple fritter I used to order. This personal touch, while small, means the absolute world to my family and I. Sometimes it’s the smallest gesture of kindness that can mean the world to someone else’s day. This is something that’ll never happen at a chain and just another reason why I will always support local. Keep being amazing...

I’m about to sing the praises of the absolute best donut & kolache joint, around ! Everyone MUST know about & try Dippin Donuts’ delicious donuts/kolaches ! Seriously, In my 41 yrs, I haven’t had any kind of donut that competes with Dippin Donuts. My family & I have been obsessed w/ Dippin Donuts since they opened. I don’t know what they do to make their donuts so incredible, but they’re better than Nelson’s, Southern Maid, Krispy Kreme, Shipleys, etc… they’re better than every donut shop in SWLA, Shreveport & Bossier. They are always so welcoming & happy, they get to know their customers & they always throw in a few extras, for free. Sometimes it’s a paper bag full of donut holes, other times it’s 3-4 specialty donuts like Apple fritter & cake donuts. Take my word for it, the donuts are incredible you’ll be glad you...

Be aware of the African American lady working the window. We stopped and got donuts yesterday for breakfast and it was the only charge on our card. My husband said the lady did take a while giving him his card back. We woke up this morning with over $500 in fraudulent charges. She is only common denominator as our card was perfectly fine until we only used it to buy donuts yesterday and now it’s hacked. Thanks for the lovely...
