Paw Paw's Donuts has become a market showstopper with their custard-filled brioche donuts - so much so that WWLTV's Great Day Louisiana invited Alex Marse to feature their iconic fried goodies on their morning news program.
What makes Paw Paw's Donuts so special is the story behind the small bakery pop-up. "We believe there is nothing more delightfully nostalgic than the way a delicious hand-crafted donut can taste. We are named after our late Paw Paw, who would always wake up before dawn on Sundays to fetch donuts for our whole family to enjoy together. Like our Paw Paw once did, we now wake up before dawn to meticulously hand craft every single donut that we produce so that you can enjoy them perfectly fresh. We love to support our community, so we always make an effort to source our ingredients locally whenever possible. Our ultimate goal is to use our passion for donuts to bring you together with the people you love most. Come and share a moment with us!" - Alex Marse, Owner Paw Paw's Donuts
