How is that a place that everyone thinks is so great, has the toughest donuts ever? Did they just start making donuts yesterday? Apple fritter? Tough and inedible- trash. Sugar twist? Terribly tough, not sweet and if I had been blindfolded and taste tested I would have called you a liar calling that a donut. Take notes from Tom's in Indiana. Michigan donut places seem to have all learned from the same bad teacher. Please stop. read more

Everything we bought tasted really good! The service was great even though they were busy! It's a small place but very organized! We will stop in again the next time we are in the area!!! read more

I've been here a lot of times and I love it. Don't know holes amazing the cupcakes perfection if I couldn't give it five stars, I would give it 1 billion stars read more

Louie's is a Marshall institution. I had a few slices of their chocolate cake several years ago at a birthday party and have only now been able to come here personally. (Sadly, they no longer make whole cakes for any occasion. ) BUT they do have little square cakes, which I made sure to get two of! The staff are extremely friendly and make you feel right at home. Both ladies in front greeted the regulars and out-of-towners like family. It is small, like most good bakeries are. But so much heart. I ordered the signature nut donut, several types of cookies and will be going into a sugar coma here shortly! What a great place to come see! read more

Picked up a banana cream pie. Crust never became mushy after 2 days. The meringue topping was delightful. Such over great pie! read more

A morning staple in our family. The chocolate fried cake donut is deliciously sinful.

I picked up donuts for the customer this morning from Louie's and they were a huge hit. Sadly, I couldn't eat any because I'm still enjoying my keto diet. But the office devoured them! If I was going to eat one, it would have been the custard filled but I did not. Chocolate, cinnamon roll, raspberry filled, plain, sugared, crullers and more. They smelled amazing. Note that Louie's has a $20 minimum for credit cards, so you'll need to pick up 15 donuts if you're not paying cash. [Review 11093 overall, 866 of 2019.] read more

Quaint and cute bakery right downtown Marshall. They don't have a ton of options, but what they do have is amazing. We indulged on a variety of cookies and a huge brownie. They had lots of donuts and pies too. Day old items were clearances which I always appreciate. Remember to pay cash when totals are under $10! I can't wait to go back. read more

Always PLENTY of really good bakery items! The staff is always friendly amd helpful! Wish I lived a bit closer...Or maybe it's really.a good thing that I don't! read more

A small but pretty town. We came quite late to this bakery. We came at 2pm when they would close around 3pm. Not have a lot left to choose from which was ok & totally understandable for us. We bought 4 donuts & some cinnamon swirl sandwich that only cost less than 8$. We were asking again to make sure as it seems not right. But it was right as the confirmation from the cashier. The donuts were delicious, even we ate 2 of them one day after. Heat up in microwave like 20s and the donut was perfect. Only accept credit card if you pay over 20 bucks, so have some cash ready in case. read more

Everything is awesome!! Best cookies, pies and breads around!! Pastries are delicious and wonderful!

Donuts, need I say more. Is a quaint place in an old down town environment. Take a stroll and enjoy the day.

Get there early for the best choices! This sweet little bakery has the best chocolate covered long Johns! All of their donuts and pastries are delicious. Very fresh and you will want them all. I saw yummy looking desserts and pies and cookies too but it did not try them. The staff is so friendly and helpful. If you have time, grab a cup of coffee and a donut and sit outside and watch the world pass by. read more

Wonderful baked goods, always busy. Know for chocolate covered doughnuts and nutty rolls. Also makes character sugar cookies for the holidays. read more

Wow. This is one of the better donut places I've been to and I've been to many. The dough at this place actually had flavor and their donuts were fantastic. The outside was a bit more well done with the inside nice and soft. This joint is in the top ten, if not the top five for donuts in Michigan. If you have the chance, go here! read more

Came from Chicago to get my favorite of all time NUT ROLL You can not find these anywhere in the USA And now that I found out that they ship nationwide and my heart rate went through the roof!! I'm a senior advisor and I rate Louie's Bakery more than 5 stars. Prices did sky rocket and I believe that it's ok to raise prices but to this extreme wow! But it is what it is . My whole Gutierrez family is from here as well As me coming here very 6 months to spend time with my grandfather and grandmother Raymond and Mercedes since I was a child and then they would drive me back to Chicago to be back with my mom Julia. My mother passed away July 13, 2015 My mother always wanted the Nut rolls and got me hooked on them as well. RIP mom My grandfather use to have his Mexican restaurant here called Gutierrez Cafe and when I came here inuse to run to the back door here behind Louie's and Louie would be making his rolls and he use to give me some to take back to my grandparents and my grandparents would send me back to Louie with some beans and rice and some of my grandmothers flower tortillas. I'm really thinking of opening up my own Mexican/Irish restaurant with a mixture of both foods together and call my restaurant "Irish I was Mexican " And hand make my grandmothers flower tortillas with her recipe and home made NOT retried beans like I've heard this other so call Mexican place makes and fake box rice!! Wow I couldn't believe they do this !! And I know exactly why, because they figure that whites people don't know the difference! And you just don't do this to people. My food will destroy many Mexican restaurants in the area and hope to be blessed by many of local Marshall community Thank you Louie's your the best read more

Best donut holes ever! Small place, cash only, in and out super fast. They also have Starbucks coffee pre-made if you like.

For nearly a decade, this was the best bakery ever. We drove there just to purchase their bread and baked goods which were extraordinarily good. Unfortunately, their young girls (this morning) were extremely rude about putting my donuts and rolls in a box. I even offered to pay for the box. They said that we were the "only rude customer they had today" and referred to us as "you people." One girl stated that she had worked there for the past seven months. It will be a while before I return. I really do not mind paying high prices when the items are as good as they are at Louie's, but I will not give my money to people who are as rude as they were this morning-----and all over not wanting to please the customer. This review should not be taken lightly, as I have taught PR and Communication Skills for nearly 40 years. I realize these girls are very young. Perhaps another position would be best for them so that they are not dealing with the public. Their attitudes are not suited for good customer relations. Dr. B Union City, Michigan read more

The best in the world even though they forgot there customers and it seems every day they keep raising there prices every chance and excuse they can, now they are using the Biden blame game and blaming Putin for the high prices read more

Ooooooo Louie's you are a staple and a treasure. Would love to see more ornate pastries like the Pecan crisp and Bunny Cakes! Oh so good!

I figured I would make my one hundredth review meaningful, so here goes. I grew up in Marshall as a child and have some of the fondest memories of summers spent eating ice cream by the downtown fountain, getting a whole dollar to spend at the one cent store, and watching the old car parade from the back of my grandpa's fixed up Ford. But hands down some of my absolute sweetest memories involve a Louie's Bakery nut roll or two. I've never had any other donut-y dessert quite like a Louie's nut roll, but I am SO glad that they ship nationwide now! I haven't had one since I was probably about 9 years old, but my 30th birthday is right around the corner and I think I'm going to gift myself with a whole dozen. I'm so happy that Louie's is still around and as much of an institution as it was when I was young. It's one of the places that makes Marshall great and I hope to bring my own daughter here some day. read more

This is a delightful little bakery in Marshall Michigan that has an enormous choice of delicious baked goods for the small place it is. I had never been there before and enjoyed my experience very much. read more

The doughnuts are good. But this place isn't worth it. Went in and was told it was a 20$ minimum charge for card. 20$ lol. It's 2020. They should update there paying system. There is no reason in the world why I should have to pay 20+ dollars just to get a a doughnut. Would give a better review and consider going back with cash, but the workers made me feel incredibly unwanted. read more

Great little hometown bakery! Best nut rolls and cookies around! Everything is so fresh and yummy, you will definitely keep going back for more! read more

Louie's Bakery has delicious nut rolls! We drive a fair distance to get their donuts. The place is small, the layout is a bit difficult to navigate with multiple customers, and workers can be moody but it's worth it! If you're in Marshall, you have to stop for a delicious nut roll! read more

I'm a tough critic when it comes to anything involving sweets. It's true. You may have read some of my reviews of bakeries/candy stores/ice cream parlors/sweet shops on here. I can be prett-tty brutal when I think a place that peddles sugar doesn't deliver. This is why I'd like to take the opportunity to give props to Louie's for having the best pies in the galaxy---if not the universe! I'll start with the lemon meringue pie. It's my all-time fav at Louie's--which is weird because I normally avoid lemon meringue at all costs anywhere else. I mean, c'mon. Think of the typical lemon meringue pie they serve at a Greek diner. It's a flavorless cardboard crust, some Jell-o instant lemon filling, and some soppy meringue that tastes lake pure egg whites. Then there's this gross, slimy perimeter of God-knows-what between the meringue and the custard that makes the meringue slide about like a roller skate on a sheet of ice. Disgusting. Then, there's Louie's lemon meringue. Oh Louie, how do you do it? Your filling is perfectly sweet-tart. I can see and taste the bits of lemon zest in your homemade curd, and your custard isn't dyed a disgusting sun-yellow but it remains a natural buttercream color. Delightful! Then there's your crust! And WHAT A CRUST! Is it shortbread? Is it phyllo dough? I can't tell, but whatever it is, it's sweet and it has flavor, almost cookie-like. And now we come to my favorite part. The meringue. To tell you the truth, Louie, I'm not even sure you can legally call this meringue. I think you're lying to all of us and you're really just making some homemade marshmallow fluff, piling 5 or 6-inches on top of the filling, and then lightly scorching it to a shiny, glistening brown. Is that what you're doing, Louie? Is it? Are you fooling all of us? Because that meringue sure doesn't taste anything like beaten egg whites. It's too sweet, too characteristically vanilla, too fluffly, too CREAMY. Louie's other cream and meringue pies follow the same equation. They're unbelievable unless you try them. Oh, and then there's this peanut danish that Louie makes that is apparently world-reknowned. It's an unrealistically tasty snack, but give me a slice of that meringue pie! read more

We stopped at Louis after a lunch at Win Schuyler's. The place was quite small but they still had quite a selection. I had the cream Horne which was filled with real pastry cream not that awful marshmallow stuff at most places....delicious!! We ordered several long Johns which were good but not my favorite. The coffee was good but a few tables were necessary to make it perfect. I know they are limited for space but tables in an extended location would really help. It was 1 pm and they had already sold out of their cinnamon nut rolls which I really wanted to try but we should have stopped before lunch. Really quite a treat! read more

Louie's is the beginning, the middle and the end of doughnuts. Period. No discussion. Thank You. read more

The worst god damn experience of my life y'all. I went in to get my self a god damn cookie. I tried to use my debit card and I couldn't use it because my total was 1.70 not 20 dollars which was their requirement. The worker said that I couldn't use it and that I could buy a 20 dollar gift card. Ma'am I could barely afford this cookie how the hell do you expect me to buy a gift card. I didn't have any other money on me so this old amazing talented sweet old lady (bless her heart) paid for my treat. I will NEVER STEP INTO THIS ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN PERIOD. read more

Get a nut roll, and some seasonal designed sugar cookies and start you day on the right foot. Still my favorite bakery and stop nearly every time I'm in town. read more

Anytime I roll into Marshall, I make a point to stop by Louie's. And oh, the nostalgia. The feeling of that place hasn't changed in 30 years... and that's an amazing thing. I've been all over the country, and Louie's stands alone with the best donuts I've ever had the privilege of eating. The chocolate covered donuts and nut rolls are completely unique and unparalleled. If you are in the Marshall area, it's a must-visit. read more

I awoke craving a good fat donut. Got prepared to go, then sadly realized it was Sunday. After letting that go and deciding I would go tomorrow morning to get Donuts I was once again disappointed to find out they are not open on the MINOR holiday of Memorial Day. Not even in the morning!! Closed to days in a row is a huge inconvenience to the people of Marshall and donut lovers such as myself. Sincerely, Angry and Hungry read more

We ate breakfast across the street at Kate's Diner (see my review on Kate's) and saw the bakery. Who can pass up a small town bakery!? Walked in to a small yet nicely arranged bakery. The staff was nice to answer questions about various pasteries. I ordered a cream filled, chocolate glazed long John to take with me. I ended up eating it later in the day and it was still delicious but it would have been better immediately after ordering it. There was ample filling which was a very nice surprise. They serve Starbucks which was a nice touch too. Be sure to leave room for a Louie's Bakery donut, cookie, pastry or small cake next time you're in Marshall, Michigan. read more

The Best nut rolls ever! They are closed during some holidays so good luck getting your hands on some.

Best bakery in the entire world (I've been a few places so I can say that with authority). If you don't think so, fight me.

Rude owner. I drove an hour to buy a pie today. I arrived with the open sign illuminated in the window and a locked door. There were two employees working behind the counter. They pointed to a sign on the door. They were closed today between 12-3. This was not posted on their website. The owner came to the door, laughed at me and walked away. I will not return. read more

Stopped in to purchase danish and was pleasantly surprised to find a wide assortment of products. This is not your everyday donut shop. In fact, there seems to be more special danish than doughnuts, evidenced by the lack of pricing by the dozen. Clean and friendly staff there to help with choices. read more

Great local shop, always great customer service and good pricing. Stop here many times on my way to work to start the day off with smiles.

Not pleased with the unwelcome we're closed yelled at us as my children and I walked past for the first time to Marshall new to Michigan from California hesitant to go back with my kids as they felt the people where rude to us was very surprised with the people there ? read more
