Stopped by about 15 minutes before closing. Was jonesing a caramel long John but was advised by super nice people that at this close to closing that the raised donuts are sold out. A little disappointed, but started looking at the cake donut selection and was delighted. Bought some caramel frosted, a salted caramel , blueberry and others. All were deeeeeeelicious. Donut King rocks!! read more

They started encouraging their customers to order online, without telling the customers that the prices online are 25% higher than in-store and do not apply any discounts. When I went to the store for pickup, I asked them to just cancel the online order and ring up the same order in-store (which would have saved about 30%), and they refused/claimed they couldn't do it. I told them, respectfully, they should stop telling their customers to order online. I'm never going back. I won't support a business that encourages their customers to their face to order online, without telling them it will cost substantially more to do so. read more

Best donuts ever and u have to it's a must try if your ever in kc gotta get their Appel fritters

I love this spot. Over the years, their hours have tightened a bit. But this is one of the only places you can get GOOD, fresh donuts made later in the day. The staff is super kind, the donuts are incredible - Hi, a salted caramel old fashioned? An oreo CRONUT? Tasty apple fritters and a seasonal apple crumble cake donut that has the perfect amount of autumn spice?! - and I may have been there enough to have personally funded continuing education for one or two of their staff members. (Guys, I love donuts.) If you want suggestions, let me know. Eat the plain glazed donuts quickly, or keep them in a super cool, super dry place. read more

Yelpers said this place was amazing. That's my assessment too. Donut King has been in my collections list for over a year and I finally got here! It's pretty far north for someone who lives in Lee's Summit. But I found myself in the area and couldn't resist bringing my wife some donuts from here. I had two of them as well. I heeded other reviews I had read and ordered the peanut butter doughnut, chocolate Bismarck and the cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was fine as was the chocolate longjohn. The peanut butter doughnut was pretty fantastic as was well as the old-fashioned. The store was bright, colorful and clean. The staff was incredibly helpful, patient, and kind. They were very good at serving customers quickly to mitigate the line and overcrowding. They also have a drive-through. Donut King ROCKS!! It's probably a good thing they are so far away from our house. read more

I love donut king! I would argue that they have the best donuts in Kansas City. They have the biggest variety of not only donuts, but cupcakes, and danishes as well. I appreciate that they are open late so you can pick up donuts for the next morning and you can utilize the drive thru which is extremely convenient. Donut King is worth the trip even if you live a little farther out. Their salted caramel old fashioned just won an award for a reason! They also have a nice area to sit and have a variety of milks you can purchase to eat with your sweets! read more

I'm a sucker for donuts and love to try a new place as often as possible. We recently tried Donut King and they definitely hit the spot. The cinnamon roll is as big as your face and it was a good mix of donut and cinnamon roll. We also enjoyed the caramel long john, glazed old fashioned, regular glazed donut, and the whipped cream bismark. My favorite donuts see usually an old fashioned and a long john, but the whipped cream bismark was amazing! I was really wanting to try their cronut but unfortunately they were sold out when I placed my order around 9am. Next time I'll definitely make sure to go earlier! read more

One of the few places to get fresh donuts in the evening. Best selection of cake donut flavors in town. They used to make donuts for Harrah's buffet. The orange donuts are good. read more

Quite possibly the worst donuts I've ever eaten and I've had a lot of donuts. Way too sugary, almost like they accidentally dumped the whole bag of sugar in every batch. Definitely not an ADA approved product. read more

Absolutely delicious! This was my first visit, but it won't be my last! So many flavors that all looked amazing; it was hard to choose. I ultimately decided on a cherry donut, which I ate in the car and grabbed a lemon Bismark for the next day. Both were so good! The cherry donut was cake-like yet airy, with crispy edges. The lemon Bismark was still pretty moist the next day, even though I'd just left it in the bag. Service was quick (honestly deciding what to get took the most time, and that's one me!), and the ladies working were friendly. Totally recommend! read more

Even before walking in, there was a sweet scent permeating the air. It was even more delicious smelling when you walk in. I was able to quickly order and they packed it immediately! For added convenience, they even have a drive thru window. They have a wide selection of donuts! But I chose to try the basics - glazed and chocolate. They were fresh and fluffy! The chocolate glaze was not too sweet but still strong in the chocolate flavor! read more

We wandered in while waiting for our reservation up the street. They have a wide variety of donuts that look tasty. We ordered a couple donuts and tried to order an iced coffee, but the didn't have coffee, so we settled for an energy drink. The donuts were ok. Cake was crumbly, and not too sweet. The real weird part of our visit was the two clerks working that evening. They spent the entirety of our visit talking about ticks and the one girl talked about ticks she found on herself while she was at work. That's not appetizing. The dining area was clean and it was air conditioned, so the ambiance was comfortable, but the conversation was definitely not. read more

It's a donut. I wanted it to be fantastic, but it's a donut. The service was friendly. The interior clean and bright. I would warm you if the light post that is really easy to back into if you park right up front. A cheap donut can make an expensive repair bill. Luckily I just missed it. read more

I kept hearing great things about Donut King and finally decided to try it out for myself, and they did not disappoint. Not only were their variety of donuts both interesting and delicious, I found out that Donut King makes a cronut, which was all the rage about a decade ago. I made sure to try it as well and it stood out above the rest and was the best thing I tried. Make sure to include a cronut next time you visit Donut King.

Former WWE referee and now talents person owns this shop with their wife. I heard all about it form their sister who was running the shop. That's cool! I wasn't expecting that. The service: Nice guy. But he gave me hot coffee's instead of iced coffee's but that wrestling guy's sister quickly stepped in and took care of it. Kudos on their customer service. It was a steady crowd of people coming in but Donut King was prepared- lots of workers on and assisting people. The donuts: Sea Salted Caramel: Not too rich or overwhelming for my taste buds, quite enjoyable Peanut Butter: Not too peanut buttery- just enough. I wish someone near me offered this donut! Glazed: Good. Soft, just enough glaze to not be over powerful but could be softer. (It's not hard but the best glazed donut I have ever had was very soft and airy if that makes sense) True score: 3.5 read more

Stopped in last night after visiting vignettes with some friends because we needed a snack. The pumpkin donut was good, as was the cherry with sprinkles. The apple streusel donut was reallyyyy good. The staff was nice enough but not exactly friendly. The store wasn't the cleanest, but it wasn't bad either. The delicious donuts make it a 5 star though! read more

I don't get the fancy donut trend. Have you seen those? They're usually uniquely flavored with tons of toppings and cost $5+ each. That is not for me. A donut should be a simple pleasure you can acquire for little more than pocket change. An affordable sugary pillow of delight. Donut King has those aplenty. Whether you prefer yeast-raised or cake donuts, with sprinkles or simply iced, they have those and more, and they are indeed delightful. My recent assorted dozen came in at just under $20. The shop is open 7 days a week (!) and is bright and clean with helpful staff. They also have a drive-thru window available, but I like to go inside and see the stunning array for myself. The fun is in the choosing! However, I never leave without a sublime chocolate-iced, cream-filled bismark. It's very reminiscent of a favorite treat from my childhood, the Alligator from the long-gone but forever-missed Kelly's Bakery. An echo of the past, to be sure, but an appreciated one. read more

I was craving donuts. I've had a rough morning and I came in about 7:30AM on a Wednesday for some donuts. They had about 2 other customers in there. The lady at the counter was rude and seemed like she just woke up and didn't want to be there. In a rude tone of voice, she asked if she can help me, I told her I would like these donuts over here. She was very monotone and mean and her face was grumpy. It was my first time here, the donuts were okay, the shop was painted purple and it was bright inside. Overall the donuts were decent, but customer service was horrible. I love supporting small family owned shops but this was not the case. I might try it again just to see. But it deterred me from coming back. read more

WOW! So many options to choose from! A great local donut shop for all your sugary sweet needs. Drive thru is prime for not wanting to go inside if you make an early morning run in your pajamas. Great selection and great prices! read more

Outstanding reviews were confirmed true! The donuts are overpriced. But the quality and customer experience was outstanding! read more

Wait for 15 minutes. No service. Leave. Why be open if you aren't going to serve people?

3/5 stars for their donuts. 5/5 stars for their service. Here's the breakdown: If you're looking for good cake donuts, come here. Their basic vanilla cake donut base is pretty darn good, and I've had my fair share all across the US. If you're looking for a good yeast-raised donut... meh, keep looking. I personally prefer Lamar's a little bit better. I found that the chew of Donut King's glazed donut was a bit too dense and a bit too salty. If you're looking for a filled donut that has filling similar to Krispy Kreme's, you'll have to look elsewhere. I believe they only have whipped cream filling, chocolate filling, fruit fillings, and Bavarian cream/custard. If you're looking for a good French Cruller, this may or may not be a good spot; I felt that mine was just a teensy bit undercooked and a bit too "eggy." All that being said, these days, sometimes I'm willing to support a place that just has good service-- service with a smile! It's so hard to find these days, and the woman that helped me was so sweet. Overall: It's worth a try! read more

Lively little donut shop with lots of personality! Brought my son by on his b-day and they put little candles on his donut. I tried a brownie and got a pineapple upside-down cake. Plus got some glazed and a twist. They were all so good and didn't break the bank...plus the people are friendly and service was offered with smiles all around. Love it and will be going back regularly. read more

I ordered the small dozen from Donut King which consists of Vanilla Cake Donuts, Chocolate Cake Donuts, Seasonal Donuts, Old Fashioned Donuts, and Small Yeast Raised Donuts. Immediately I was greeted by the store clerk and she carried on a conversation about my students and how I was getting donuts for the class. She let me pick from a variety of donuts and even gave recommendations. The best part? It's affordable costing less than $20 for a dozen. The students were excited about the donuts and liked the texture. However, we did find that the icing made each donut entirely too sweet. I will definitely be back to try the regular donuts, but with the icing they are diabetes in a bottle. read more

My wife and I ended up bumping into this place by accident as my wife needed to stop by the bank and some a line outside the door. We ordered a dozen of mixed donuts for $18 dollars and we got a coffee too. I can not recall all the donuts we ordered, but here is what I can recall and all were good. I would recommend the Bavarian crème chocolate and powered sugar, bacon maple, strawberry cheese cake, the curlers, Oreo donut. If you love sugar then this place is for you, but your stomach will hurt if you eat a lot of it, so I recommend pacing yourself for these. Line moves by really quickly. read more

The best donuts around! Perfect cake donuts and customer service is top notch! The price is very fair!

I'm search of birthday donuts for my girlfriend, we journeyed north to Donut King. I am so impressed with the variety of donuts -- particularly fruity flavors! For example I've never had an orange donut before, and it was delicious. From the bright pink interior to the HUGE display cases of donuts, it's hard not to fall in love immediately. The staff was super helpful with recommending flavors. You can even customize the filling inside some of the filled donuts - recommend the vanilla pudding! Definitely recommend getting a punch card if you buy dozens of donuts frequently. Plenty of convenient parking in the strip mall lot, and it looks like there's even a drive thru!! I can't wait to come back and try more! read more

I always love a good donut from Donut King. Today I went there around 5pm which is usually late for a donut shop but I love that this place is open till 10pm most days. The service was quick and nice but we were also the only customers at that time. Store seemed clean and well kept. Love the fun colors! Only thing I'd change is the selection throughout the day. If they want to stay open until 10pm, they should have their good donuts all day. I'd happily pay extra if I had to. Their chocolate whipped cream bismark is my FAVORITE. read more
