30 years ago, when I was a kid, my grandpa used to take me to Mary Lou's for breakfast while he drank coffee with all the other old guys. I loved it, and I loved the donuts. I live out of state now, but during my last visit home I stopped by so that my girlfriend could experience Mary Lou's. When I opened the door, that same great smell I remembered from 30 years ago greeted me once again. It's not only the memories that make this place great, but the donuts are the best you can find anywhere.

I'm surrounded by donut shops in the big city but discovered this Lafayette gem after a 20 year hiatus from the community. It's well worth your time standing in line at Mary Lou's because the service is pleasant, the donuts are huge and the price is a fraction is expect to pay elsewhere. The flavor of these confections are just right!

The apple fritter is by far my favorite though - just a little bit of crisp on the outside, and filled with chunks of apple on the inside. You won't find anything else, anywhere, that will beat it.

We love this little shop and the new owners have done wonders with the place and the new truck. However, there is something off with the donuts now... not sure if it is what they are cooking them in or a recipe change but they are not the same...

Ownership change. Same product so far. Hopefully the new owner understands that the folks behind the counter are the ones who make the business.

Best donuts in town! This place has been the go to place for donuts in Lafayette for many, many years. I was a little worried with the recent owner change, but fortunately they haven't changed the recipes one bit. Great selection and always fresh!

My suggestions: an apple fritter and/or a tractor tire.
