What do you all think of District Donuts in New Orleans? I thought they were pretty amazing albeit different/hipsterish and not your usual standard donut.
They were hands down the best doughnuts I have ever had and are contention for being the best breakfast I have ever consumed. I've already planned to stop by the next time I venture down to New Orleans.

Mr. Ronnies in Houma
Most people tend to favor the original location. I have visited the Baton Rouge branch twice now and I am very conflicted about my overall opinion.
On the one hand, it's some of the most well-priced doughnuts you will ever find. And on the other hand, those damn cake doughnuts are so coated in glaze and sugar that you are liable to wind up in a diabetic coma just after eating two. I will say that their yeast doughnuts are pretty damn good.

but don't even get me started on Mr. Ronnie's -- those things are like rocks. I feel like I've eaten a lead weight smothered in glaze every time I make the mistake of eating one.
I made the mistake of ordering a dozen as part of a cheat/re-feed day...worst mistake of my life. I got 12 different doughnuts (around five cake and seven yeast) and I wanted to kill myself after the first round of six.

Best donuts ever are in the Magnolia/El Dorado, Arkansas, area. Spudnuts. Made with potato flour.
I remember the Food Network did a special on potatoes and talked extensively about the versatility of potato flour.
The stopped at a spudnut shop in Idaho and those things looked divine.

This. I have never cared for cake donuts.
Cake donuts are the honey dew or candy corn of the bakery world. I swear I have never met someone in person who eats eats any of these foods, yet they are still for sale. How is it possible?!

They offer a cake-like doughnut which I don't like. I'm also not in to putting a bunch of toppings or fillings in there either which is pretty much everything @ District. I know people love them but they seem a little too trendy for my taste. Just fry a light doughnut and put some glaze on it.
bullshite. I've had cake doughnuts before and District is nothing like a cake doughnut. I'm sorry you don't care for a creative filling or topping on your doughnuts, but they are a welcome change from the usual, run-of-the-mill glazed and chocolate glazed options.

Nothing like Shipleys....
the "chocolate filled one" will do me in one day...
so glad I live miles from a Shipley's

I agree with this. I was really disappointed in the Ronnie's in BR after hearing all the hype about them.
I tend to agree with this having read the hype and finding it a let down. I will say I loved the maple/bacon eclair at Ronnie's. It was heaven and probably 2000+ calories.

Annnnnnd this is what I'm talking about. People are apeshit for this place. What they serve is a huge, dense, dry, baked doughnut with a ton of toppings and fillings. They have the market cornered if you're looking for a doughnut with Nutella on it or all the fixings for a banana split. That's just not what I'm looking for when I want doughnuts. A girl at work brings them every Friday. Every doughnut is the exact same dough flavor with different toppings. I think she said a dozen runs her something like $30. That's just silly.

If I can time travel, McKenzie's Buttermilk Drops (the Tastee-produced ones are good, but not the same). If I can't time travel, Antoine's makes a suitable successor.

Ok so is TatoNut in Ocean Springs still in business or not?

Eat one of their filled doughnuts and you'll swear you just consumed a sugar-glazed boulder.

McKenzies Buttermilk Drops
Try Wink's Buttermilk Drop bakery. He starred in the film 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' and his buttermilk drops are fantastic.

Well, we all spend money on things that are silly to someone else.

The blueberry cake donut from Port Allen Bakery is heaven.
