Donuts, coffee, and beignets OH MY! - Thomas was a wealth of knowledge! Between each stop he gave us a lot of interesting information regarding the plant life, history of the garden district, etc. He was very funny / entertaining and kept us engaged the whole tour. Lots of neat tid bits you wouldn't learn just wandering by yourself. The donuts & beignets were all very tasty, I loved that each one was a different take on the yummy pastry. Worth taking note on where to go back to later as well to try the other menu items. I really loved the last place we visited, the s'mores flavored beignet was AMAZING.

Donut miss the underground donut tour! - Thomas and Kim worked beautifully in tandem to provide wonderful donuts and even better history! We got a little of everything - sweets, succulents, and sensitively-handled history, and sensational conversation. You certainly won’t leave hungry!
