Coffee call in new building ain’t the same by a mile. I have been once and never went back, where as I used to go after every game.

Shipley in Bunkie was different from the regular chain. The old man that made the donuts was a damn wizard.
Clarence Villemarette TYFYS and RIP good sir. He used his own personal recipe and it was so good that Shipley allowed him to deviate from their franchise wide recipe. His kids carried on the tradition and original dough recipe after he passed.

I can easily put down 5 Mary Lee's with some milk. I can feel my waist expanding a couple inches too.

Good thing I quit buying them at home unless there's company over. At work I would only eat 1-2.

I don't know about the best but a cake type donut is the worse one.

Its a toss up between Mary Lee and Town Donuts. There is no better than those two in Baton Rouge.

What about the Mary Lee on Florida?

Agreed about Meche's when hot but if you ate them a couple of hours, not so good and that is where KK beats them.

They also had some of the best king cakes that I've ever had.
