If you want a cold, damped donut that taste like it was made last week then this is your spot! It’s hit or miss with this place and lately I’ve been getting more misses. How can anyone serious about donuts serve some cold and hard. I’m done with this place
If a crackhouse could be made of sugar, surely it would look like District Doughnut. My spouse is throughly addicted to these doughnuts. The small shop at 8th street SE is but one of their many outlets around the city. As the supreme HQ, it has the best selection. The earlier in the day you go, the better the selection. Get your fix today!
Not a bad coffee and doughnut shop, but lacks some amenities, like a customer restroom; raw brown sugar; and a ‘recycling’ bin. The coffee and doughnuts were also a bit pricey in my opinion, too. The doughnuts do taste very good, though, and the coffee was good. Had the cherry blossom doughnut and regular coffee…
We’ve been going here since they first opened and just had Dulce de Leche and Brown Butter doughnuts as standard. Love the seasonal flavors to keep things fun and interesting. LOVE that the sufganyiot are now available outside of Chanukah. The only downside is that when we got them in February, they were dry and definitely not as good as when they were a special item. Service is usually slow despite and they sell out of flavors throughout the day. So get there early for best selection.
I usually get donuts for my office from this place and really loved it. Last time I went in, I was incredibly overcharged. I asked for 2.5 dozen donuts but was charged by the half dozen (you save $10 when you get a full dozen). I asked for a refund and they told me to come back the next day. When I showed up, no manager was available and they told me to come back in two days. I asked to have the manager call me so we could do the refund over the phone. They agreed, and I still have not received a phone call or my refund. I won’t be coming back.
On a family trip to D.C we went and got lunch and then went to District Doughnut for a doughnut. They did not have an overwhelming amount of choices and overall the doughnuts were really good.
Simply delicious!
Have been a patron of DD for 4 years and since they transitioned to an automated cashier system the customer service has declined to a new low. Very disappointed.
Great donuts and sweets. I tried their pumpkin spice cinnamon roll and it was fantastic! Their donuts have a variety of flavors as well.
Fun and interesting flavors of donuts! We got a berry donut which was nice and sweet. And the everything bagel donut was... interesting for sure. Basically a bagel but in donut form. We got another one that had chocolate on it that was nice. Lots of different flavors to choose from!
Omg!! Ordered the half dozen via door dash. The site will not allow you to pick the donuts you want. So I took a chance (won’t make that mistake again). Whoever thought an everything donut with onions was a good idea. I wouldn’t put that in someone’s order that didn’t have a choice. That is definitely something that someone should have a choice to order. Absolutely disgusting
Great array of doughnut choices, awesome taste! Would definitely go back! I thoroughly enjoyed my brown sugar butter doughnut. The creme brulee one they torch the sugar right there before they give it to you.
This is a review of the service of the place as I didn’t get a chance to order. My family and I walked into District Doughnuts and every worker was on their phone except for a worker in the back. We were greeted (a quick hello) without the person behind the counter ever looking up from their phone. The other worker behind a clear glass was also just staring at her phone and didn’t acknowledge our presence. It was hard to miss us since it was my husband, 3 children, and I. This is disappointing as I was looking forward to trying this place.
Terrible . Supermarket Donut for $4. Stay away. Horrible horrible . Tough , chewy ....just awful. The coffee mist have been sitting there for hours tasted like gas station coffee. Don't go. Worse than Dunkin or Krispy Kreme . The worst I have ever had. I wish I could post a negative star
I loved my experience at District Donut!! Very calm and welcoming environment with a delicious donut and amazing Compass cold brew. One of the only places selling coffee around Eastern Market on Mondays and it’s worth it. Hope to become a regular during my time here; staff is very friendly and helpful! Check them out! 🍩
Let me preface this first. I live in Los Angeles which is THE donut capital of the world. There is literally a donut shop on every corner. I like to try donuts wherever I visit to compare. This unfortunately was by far the worst! It is truly a 1-star place but I gave it a +1 because the counter help was nice. I got a salted butterscotch and a brown butter. The topping was nothing memorable, but not bad. However, the actual donut was the barely edible. These are yeast donuts and should be airy and light right? Nope! Was dense and chewy?! Yep chewy. I've never had a chewy donut before and hopefully never will. I noticed a few other commented on this too. And now for the worst part... the price. Each donut was $4!?!? I understand the location has a part in this, but c'mon. These should be half that, and I'm being generous. Take a hard pass and, sadly, stop by the nearest Dunkin' as it is better.
They have some cool flavors.
I'm not a doughnut person, but I know a good product when I see it. I went in to get doughnuts for my coworkers and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Also the doughnuts were a huge hit in the office. If you like doughnuts, stop here. Do it! Do it now!
I would give District a 5 star review but I was disappointed to see their offerings were not inline with the menu they had displayed on their webpage, so I dropped a star. Aside from that their stuff is fantastic and I was able to find other items to my liking without the two doughnuts I had hoped to get. The staff were friendly and the cinnamon roll was MASSIVE. Make sure you check the hours for the location you are going to because it seems each of their locations go by different hourz.
The donuts were lovely! Great place. A tad on the expensive side, and I only say that because I've had donuts with similar flavors for less. I would still highly recommend this place!
