Mary Lee DO-Nuts

We went at about ten and couldn’t believe what a small selection they had. In addition, everything they had out looked like it had been out for quite some time. Okay to be fair it was around ten. So I can’t hate on them too much. However, the variety was definitely lacking. My girlfriend always told me how great the donuts were from there, but they didn’t look too impressive. I went hoping to get a kolache or something with meat in it, and when I realized they didn’t have anything for me I decided I would pass. I went next door to Subway for breakfast. I’ll definitely give them another shot. Probably earlier in the morning next time. We live right across the street. So we really don’t have much of an option.

«Donuts, donuts, donuts!» This is a very busy donut store at the end of a strip mall. Just when I think donuts are losing their flair, I walk into this place and about 5 people end up lining up right behind me and it was almost 11am. People still love their donut stores. The donuts here tasted fresh and were pretty yummy. As for the customer service, I was pleasantly surprised with it. The woman behind the counter was kind and actually happy to be helping me. I have not always had the best luck with customer service at donut places. Most of the time, I always ended up with someone grumpy and disinterested in taking my order. Donuts were not stale and were quite finger-​lickin’ good!

I have been a customer of this Mary Lee’s since moving to BR a year and half ago. This morning my wife goes out for my daughter’s birthday and places a relatively simple order — 8 glaze and 4 chocolate. The order was reversed. We didn’t realize that until she got home. I called the store and the employee that answered said to bring the order back and they would correct it. After the kids were served, the only doughnuts that were left were the 4 chocolate doughnuts. I brought the box back with the 4 chocolate covered doughnuts. The employee took the box and bagged up the missing glaze and said «sorry about that.» I called the store on the way home because I felt like someone in management she hear about the situation. The owner explained that it’s their policy to take back the wrong doughnuts. So I drove all the way back to MLD for 4 glaze doughnuts and was offered nothing but an I’m sorry. I’m a small business owner also and to not offer something extra because of their mistake is crazy. As an owner you offer to give the chocolate doughnuts back for the extra effort. A really good owner would have paid for the mistake that she admitted that she made.
The expectation to go above and beyond on an incorrect order is what really is disappointing. When you charge eight dollars for a dozen doughnuts you should really appreciate the customers that come through your doors. You lost a customer over 4 doughnuts. That’s sad!

There are a dozen and half of these in and around Baton Rouge, and after having been to several of the others (Florida, O’neal, etc) I think this is the best one.
My son and I go here almost every weekend (Sat and Sun). The two ladies who work the counter here know us as they do dozens (if not hundreds) of other faces that come through their door.
The donuts here are amazing and they know exactly which donuts to make for which type of crowd comes in at different times of the week. For the little ones the chocolate sprinkle doughnut is the go to for anyone under 12, they have as many or more of these than the glazed donuts ready to go, they even have doughnut hole versions with sprinkles, that’s so awesome.
The Apple Fritter is amazing, enough for two people, you have to get it!
They also have a king cake doughnut, pigs in blankets and the standard offering of Community Coffee, milk, OJ and soda.
It’s the service and smile I go in for. Even when D Donuts opened up down the road, we ditched them and came back for the quality of the doughnut, and the people. I’ve written reviews for other doughnut places and as awesome as they are, this one is the closest to where I live.
The only thing I have to say that I really don’t like are the very inconsiderate folks who park in the red zone right outside the door. It’s painfully obvious that parking is a whole 20 feet away. If it was the streets of Los Angeles, I would understand but here, it’s completely pathetic.

The best glazed donuts I have found so far in Baton Rouge. Always fresh and warm.

Always hot and fresh! the best donuts in Baton Rouge! the only down side is that you have to spend at least $ 5 if you want to use a debit or credit card.

YUM YUM YUM YUM. Hot gooey big donuts make me feel like Homer Simpson whenever I stop by. MMMMMMM doooonuts! I can’t believe how inexpensive it is! Try comparing prices to the bfast treats at Starbucks. This place is very dangerous for me and is contributing only to my sense of tast an my waistline! The only down side is that it closes at noon, so I gotta get my donut fix in before lunch.
