Why are there no donuts places in the CBD in Nola?

It's a good question, but I'd guess that rent is high and demand is less than your might think since professional folks tend to be more health conscious. Still, you'd think someone would make an attempt at the market. Maybe Swiss bakery or Rouse's.

There's a relatively new doughnut shop on MLK by Claiborne, but that's not walking distance.

This is pretty funny.

Because you would only have about 3 revenue hours a day, 5 times a week. That simply wouldn't be enough to support, rent, insurance, equipment, labor, etc...

The places in the CBD that are just open for breakfast and lunch are pretty ratchet.

best glazed donuts here in town are 4.95 a dozen after tax. Hard to beat.

Pre Katrina, there was a Dunkin Doughnuts at the corner of Common and (St. Charles?). It was pretty ratty, but it did a pretty solid business. There are so few traditional office-hour workers left in the CBD, I doubt an ordinary, non-destination doughnut shop would make it anymore.

And charge $6 a donut
