Donut Palace — Restaurant in West Monroe

Over the years I have been a pretty faithful customer. In the past 5 months, I've stopped by most every morning to get one or two pigs in a blanket, which I usually pay cash for. Since I wanted coffee today and wanted to fix it myself, I went inside, order the coffee and 1 pig. Total $2.67. I am out of cash, so I give the cashier my card, which she refused to take. They have a rule the purchase must be over $3 to use a card. She wanted me to purchase something else or use cash. Truthfully, I understand that it costs the establishment money for small purchases, but I'm there almost every morning for my breakfast. Seems helping a faithful customer out would make more sense; however, that would be wrong apparently. So, when I tell her I don't have cash and I don't want to purchase anything else, she thanks me, puts my food order up and pours the coffee I had ordered back into the pot (which I know is a health code violation). It is the last time I will go there. A new place is opening closer to my house, so I'll stop there instead. Inflexible rule = one...

The N 7th Location is awesome! Always have fresh, delicious goodness! It deserves 5 stars.

However, the Cypress location, can't even eat it. Donuts from tuberware? Maybe legal, but I don't want Donut Palace tuberware. I want the fresh delicious donuts you are known for. I also had the croissant from hell. It was a croissant that had "green" seasoning pounded into the egg. To add insult to injury, the entire thing was stale to the point I couldn't not forcibly cut it with the hard end of my fork. I tried to eat it and give it a chance, but it made me violently sick when I got home because my stomach couldn't handle it.

Such a shame that the beloved Donut Palace I know opened a sister store that cannot even compare to it.

TO ANY CUSTOMERS, IT IS WORTH IT TO DRIVE THE EXTRA MILE TO THE NORTH...

Very nice personnel, but the worst donuts and coffee I have ever experienced. There was very little chocolate filling in the item I ordered, for which I was soon grateful. It was a super sweet, thin, brown colored anomalous goo, ...could have been any flavor. Along with the filling, the cake part had a chemical after taste which was hard to get rid of. The coffee was weak and not fresh ...and well, I threw that out at the first trash can. My companion had the same experience. I hope this was a one off as our conversation with the window server...
