It might not look like much from the outside, but trust that Good Morning Donut deserves all the…read morepraise it gets. They have kept the classic donut shop of the 1980s feel alive all while keeping customers in good spirits every morning. This woman-owned and Asian-owned spot always makes me happy each time I pass it. And of course, the donuts are excellent. The place is tiny and there is no seating. It's strictly takeout and/or drive thru, the latter of which is the preferred method for most. There are only a couple of dedicated parking spots, but it is at the tail end of a mini-strip mall. Their service is always fabulous, greeting folks with smiles, and making everyone feel extremely welcome. The donuts themselves are a classic batch of glazed, iced, filled, and cake, with specialty items like donut holes, eclairs, and cinnamon rolls. While there is a large sign for a "croissant sausage", they also are among the only donut shops that serve kolaches. Their small variety of kolaches would make any Texan proud. After taking a bite of the croissant sausage, I understood why they have their own sign. It's flake wth a nice crunch and the sausage was juicy throughout. The jalapeño and sausage is addicting and has a nice kick. I appreciated the kick from the bits of jalapeños. I'm particularly drawn to cake donuts, so their old fashioned is probably going to be my favorite. They're generous with the donut holes, leaving in a few extra for every dozen. Overall, the prices are on point, the service is phenomenal, and the food is simple but good. As a neighborhood joint, Good Morning Donuts definitely has my vote for one of the best small businesses in Baton Rouge.

When they're warmed they are PERFECTION. If they're cold they're a little too thick but nothing some milk can't help with! Their kolaches are the best I've ever had. The sausage is fully encased in the dough and this is something I didn't know I needed. It was fantastic. I haven't been back and I'm very sad about that fact but plan to rectify that soon! I'm excited for yummy donuts!

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.

They have a variety of donuts kolaches and other breakfast items just as biscuit or burritos. Prices have gone up since the menu pics . I didn't get to take new pics bc they had covered their counter with a clear plastic thing. I ordered two reg jalepeno cheese kolaches, one burrito and one dozen donut holes and my total was $14. Not sure why it was that expensive. My kolaches was good. The bread was flaky and wrapped the sausage. The sausage itself is made up jalepenos and cheese so it wasn't as cheesy or any extra pieces of jalepenos inside. My hubby got the sausage egg and cheese burrito. He didn't care for it too much bc there was sliced cheese inside instead of shredded therefore it was kinda of cold even after heating up. I really liked the donut holes! It was soft and had a vanilla glaze on top. I think if I heated them up...it would be just as yummy if not better! My goals are to hit up all these donut shops to eat donut holes! This place ranks #2 on my list so far.
