If you are anything like me and love breakfast food and Louisiana culture, you will also love Mary Lee’s Donuts. Mary Lee’s, located at 4253 Perkins Road, is that one donut shop that everyone knows is the best around. Customers leave feeling like Buddy the Elf in the scene where he yells “world’s best cup of coffee.”
One morning I was craving a kolache, and I walked right into the local donut shop, with the treats encased in the glass warmer. There they were. Boudin kolaches that were ready to be taken home. If you aren’t a native Louisianian, then you may be confused as to what boudin is. If you aren’t a Texan, then you also might be questioning what a kolache is.
These pastry-like breakfast items are a large pig in a blanket; however, they can also have other fillings. In this case the dough was filled with a Cajun sausage, seasonings and rice. The kolache is $3.18 and is perfect for those on the go. The breakfast items can be paired with a sweet scrumptious donut or consumed on their own, making it the perfect quick breakfast for your fast paced morning in Baton Rouge.
