Meche's Donuts — Restaurant in New Iberia

Wonderful neighborhood donut shop!!! The limited variety of donuts and "kolaches" are well made up for in quality and uniqueness.

GIANT DONUTS appear to be one of their specialties. Available in chocolate glazed, chocolate glazed with colorful sprinkles, or regular glazed, these were the first offerings that caught my eye. Big and delicious, airy and sweet, don't miss them!

In Texas, where I'm from, there is a massive Czech influence that dates back to the mid 1800s. Plus, my late mother--in-law (may she rest in peace!) was Czech, so kolaches are a thing for us. That being said, what Meches sells are not kolaches. They are closer to a Bismark than anything else. Nonetheless these soft, delicate pastries are a joy. Special recognition goes to the BOUDIN STUFFED KOLACHE. If your looking for a local cultural twist on a traditional donut, YOU MUST TRY IT!!! Warm, pillowy-soft pastry is wrapped around tender, savory boudin. YUM!

Bite-sized eclairs are perfect for those of us who lack discipline but want to indulge our breakfast cravings. And donut holes are offered with a side of chocolate sauce. Really? REALLY??!!!

Forget the diet when you visit New Iberia, Louisiana, and take a sweet trip to MECHES, 403 St. Peter...

What happened to meches donuts I haven't been there in a while and when I got there the loud music almost made me turn around. Y'all ran all the old people out of there that used to sit in there and drink coffee. I couldn't even hear the lady take my order with the loud music. They had two hoodlums outside smoking whatever and they work there. The old people don't have anywhere to go anymore and drink coffee and talk. So sad!! I never thought I'd see meches change...

My first negative experience with Meches. I went in at 7:30 am and ordered 1 dozen hot glazed donuts. The person waiting on me went in the back and came out with a box of donuts. 10 minutes later I opened the box to discover cold donuts. They tasted like day old donuts. I've been going to this Meches for 24 years and in the past was always told if they were out...
