    Apple fritter of gargantuan proportion. A meal unto itself.
    Rok J.

    *HUGE!!!* apple fritter. Seven inch diameter (I measured!) monstrosity of wonderously fried, sugar glazed, calorie packed doughy goodness your cardiologist would have his/her own heart attack over if they knew you were adding this beast to your beltline. So keep him or her off the memo to get on down to Mary Lee Donuts to find this kind of way good tasting, slightly chewy, solidly crunchy, plate filling fried Nirvana of the great American South. One demerit for not having a customer bathroom to clean the aftermath of the fried sugarfication off your hands. Premises were clean & the hustlin' staff were as friendly as the combat conditions allowed, which was putting a premium on efficiency over effusiveness.

    About to order!

    I get donut holes and milk only and my entire day starts off 100% better. Love Mary lees and the quick service upon entering the small donut restaurant

    The best, freshest donuts in Baton Rouge. Simple as that! Apple fritters the size of my face are a quick way to my heart.

    Donuts are cold. Website says credit cards but they only would take cash. Unwelcoming, unaccommodating staff/owners.

    Tasty donuts! My dozen donuts were fresh, like they were still warm when put in the box. Reasonable price.

    Best donuts in Baton Rouge. One of these donuts weighs as much as two Krispy Kremes. Not for someone on a diet, but so good!

    Having thought I've eaten through most donut shops in BR, I was surprised to learn the existence of…read moreCrispy Donut, which has supposedly been around for the better part of the last two decades. Located along Highland Road just outside of the LSU campus, this Asian-owned biz has been hiding behind a popular Chevron gas. station. It's not much to look at from the outside, but fans of donuts and kolaches will be able to enjoy something here. The inside is quiet and has limited counter seating and goes heavy on the LSU decor. It feels like a cafe that is dated but still hasn't finished the renovation. I imagine the idea is to pump some gas and get a donut, which has a staple format for so many BR peeps. The menu will always elicit a double take from me, with its awkward placement of numbers and the fact the stickers are so large that they had to abbreviate kolache to "kolach" and jalapeño to jalap. What's not condensed is those prices, which show nearly $40 for a dozen boudin kolaches and $12-20 for a dozen donuts. The breakfast croissants are $44 for a dozen, which just feels very steep. If a donut maximizes the taste, then the value is sometimes justified. However, trying their glazed, sprinkled, cake, fritters, and chocolate donuts, I can't say they're exceptional. The jalapeño kolaches and boudin kolaches were solid, but I'm not likely to order them again. The fact they still have Yoohoo in the fridge, is a nostalgic throwback I can appreciate. The owner is a sweet Cambodian man and is welcoming for every customer. Any attempts to use a credit card will incur a 50 cent surcharge for any purchases less than $5. Parking is limited to the gas station spots, but it's never crowded enough in here to be an issue. Lastly, every pastry shop is guilty of this, but the mini flies stuck inside of the display case is a massive turn off. ___________ (#1) Thank you, Yelp app.

    Even though it was at the end of the day for them, they filled my donuts and cream and made me a…read moregood cup of coffee. I would stop in again.
