The donut place
Cooper C.

This a very neat little donut place. Their donuts so soft and fresh. They taste so amazing. If you're ever in Kansas City and you're looking for donuts, come here.

3pack of s'mores made to order

Located next to Betty Rays in the River Market area. The shop is inside a vintage street car. We stopped by late in the day (2:00) so regular donut selections were limited. The mini custom donuts are made to order so you get the freshest donut. You can mix and match on the toppings. We also got a cappuccino and the clerk advised us it is 50% foam. I appreciated his honesty. The donuts were a bit messy but hot and fresh. The server/cook/barista/cashier ( 1man show) was very friendly. I noticed they had some martini drinks paired with donuts. This is great for evenings.

I went to check out the River Market location for Donutology and was not disappointed! They renovated an old trolley into the cutest donut shop! I'm not super adventurous with my donuts so I got a cake donut with white icing. Fresh and delicious! I also got the Jelly Donut Martini ( they serve alcohol after 2pm) which was a decent blend of sweet and tart. Adding the sprinkles definitely helps with the sweet flavor. The staff were super nice and patient as I asked a lot of questions lol and it didn't take long for them to make our donuts!

It's time to wake up, smell the coffee, & enjoy warm & fluffy donuts at Donutology in Kansas City! Donutology is a staple in the KC area to enjoy mini customizable donuts with a variety of fun & delicious flavors. My personal favorite?? S'mores, Peanut Butter, & Fruity Pebble Strawberry. There is something for everyone!! Did you know you could pre-order platters for gifts and/or events?? Why spend time making desserts when you can purchase some that are already perfect. One of my good friends catered Donutology at her weddding instead of cake & cupcakes...it was a HIT!!! People continued to go back to the dessert stand to try all the flavors! There is a new location in the River Market area & you can find it inside of this ADORABLE train. Pop inside to enjoy your coffee or simply grab & go at the window. On a sunny day, there are some seats outside too. If you haven't had the pleasure of trying Donutology yet, add this spot to your KC Bucket List today!

Quirky, unique, trendy donut hub that is located centrally in the river market inside a repurposed trolly car. If you have a hankering sweet tooth and donuts are one of your vices, then you are lucky because a new donut proveyer has arrived in the river market proper. Down here, donuts are few and far between, so this transformation was needed. Where Made in KC Market Place used to reside donutology has moved in, and you won't be missing the old dweller because all your coffee and pastry dreams have come true. You can order in two locations, at the pick-up window or walking inside the actual trolly car itself. With a variety of options, donuts are endless with a vast array of cake and yeast options. Also, with icing abundant, there are fun mini donut options where you can go crazy with customization! The full coffee menu will allow anyone to pair a matching drink with a nice little bite of sweetness. On opening day, the crowds were steady and the donuts were fresh, with happy tunes blasting from the speakers on the patio. It was the perfect touch making guests linger and stay awhile enjoying the beautiful Midwestern fall weather. This is definitely a completely novel donut experience for locals and tourists alike. Me myself, I stuck with what I knew I preferred, the cake donuts and went with a seasonal sounding flavor, maple. The other donuts I ended up with were the complimentary, for opening day, pumpkin spice cake donut, and then a blueberry iced one, my usual go-to. Each donut was a sweet morsel of delightfullness with a generous coating of flavored icing. The frosting differentiating one not-too dense cake donut from the other, each tickling my taste buds and making me so happy I treated myself today. Thanks donutology, for providing the downtown landscape with a destination for donuts and one that provides locals and tourists alike with an unconventional and unorthodox location to grab a sweet pick me up (and an actual pick me up, coffee) . Anyone who doesn't stop by or venture inside is missing out on an experience that is just an eccentric as KC itself, a Midwestern town that wants to be a big city...a retired city transit car that wants to be a donut powerhouse...well it doesn't want to be- it's well on its way to being! Catch it before it takes off!

Absolutely stoked to have a donut place downtown finally! It feels like every weekend I wake up craving a donut, and now I don't even have to get in the car. I love the reuse of the train car/trolley. They have a lovely deck out front, and there's even a little bit of seating inside the trolley car. You order at the window, and there's a big menu that shows what flavors they have available. Since they're not making the donuts on the trolley, sometimes they do run out. I will say, donutology donuts are not my favorite donuts in the city. Sometimes I think their cake donuts are a little dry and boring. I also wish they had more filled options. They can fill a long John or Bismarck with jelly or marshmallow topping on request. I wish there were other filling options because who wants an empty long John? Thanks for bringing a donut option downtown!

Great local Kansas City place to visit. It's located in an old street car that has some history to it. They offer gluten free options but no vegan or dairy free. Bring the pup because they get free samples!

Cute little donut place, the mini donuts were made to order. My favorite was the smores, not a fan at all of the fruity pebble one (tastes stale) but the rest were pretty good. Were not not much donut fans but they were pretty good.

Inside the airstream.... Coziest vibe ever!!!
Julie C.

Go here!!!! Wait the 10 minutes for the fresh made mini's!!! You will not regret. This darling airstream is like out of a Hallmark movie. Decorated for the holidays with the coziest vibe. Coffee and donuts, an afternoon cocktail and a sweet treat... this is your place. You owe it to yourself to visit this little donut shop.

Donutology is now offering alcohol. Tried their specialty crafted cocktails paired with mini donuts. Absolutely a delicious treat. The donut shop 'spresso martini was my favorite. Bold flavor with a touch of sweetness. Using locally made gin and brandy! The trolley location is all decked out with Christmas lights. Making it the perfect spot for the holidays. Quick friendly service.

Checking out the Donuts!

Trying out this place was more of my sister's choice but I'm glad we did. We drove down to The River Market and found where it was, we parked along the street and walked up to the Cute Street Car. There was a Patio area and I wasn't sure if we ordered outside and took it to go but as we were walking up a guy who worked there was walking in and said we could come inside about the same time a worker popped her head out and said to come on in(it was fairly chilly out) It's a very cute, quaint and fun street car. We ordered at the counter top, they offered minis and a couple different regular donuts as well as cinnamon rolls. I opted for 6 minis so I could try out a few flavors. I ordered 3 Candied Bacon, Death by Chocolate, Fruity Puff and a French Toast. They were made to order which took a little time but soooo worth it! They were hot and delicious, not overly sweet! My sister also ordered 6 minis-I believe she ordered a few different ones than me-Nutter Butter,S'mores and Strawberry Shortcake. I also ordered a Hot Dirty Chai and my sister ordered an Ice Matcha latte. The vibe was fun as they had music playing and you could tell the employees were having fun, they all were very nice. We will definitely be back for these little delicious donuts!

Great donuts and friendly service at a fun and unique location with many excellent flavors, free wi-fi, and easily accessible by the streetcar. There is shaded outdoor seating as well as diner booth style seating inside the trolley. The manager is always friendly and treats his customers superbly well. I have stopped by multiple times, including working remotely from a laptop. I'll definitely be back!

Iced oat milk latte, with my cat Latte

My sister and I go every Thursday to say hi to our favorite barista, and to grab the latest gluten free choices. (Celiac friendly places are our favorite, it takes the stress off of worrying about cross contamination, and my sister appreciates the wide range of GF choices.) We originally started going for the coffee and doughnuts, but quickly found that we were drawn to this adorable trolly for the amazing staff and the warm welcome/conversations. Amazing service, amazing food, all of it makes the start of our day so much better. 10/10 place!!!

Extremely expensive for mediocre donuts. Converted rail car was cool. Service was ok, didn't make up for the donuts.

I visited Hitide for the first time today and had a lovely experience. The workers were incredibly…read morenice and even wished me a good day by my name on my way out (what a great memory)! The space is very bright and cute - great for a visit to read or doodle (I did a little doodling of the shop during my visit). They even have a little shop area with some super cute and unique KC gear. I had a hot hazelnut latte and it was just okay, the flavor was pretty bland in my opinion and it was automatically served in a to go cup which bums me out. I like to sit and enjoy my coffee right there and love a good hot mug, it's part of the visit experience to me. The cute shop and incredible staff made my visit itself great overall, but the coffee could be leveled up a bit. Nonetheless, I would visit again :)

So the place itself was very cool and I loved the decor and ambience! However, the wait was a lot…read morelonger than I normally experience grabbing a coffee. I do appreciate the good quality though and thankfully had some time to kill. It isn't a place I would go if I was in a rush, but it great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. There wasn't a line when I went in, but there were quite a bit of people seated around. I got an iced hazelnut oat latte that tasted great. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely bring my laptop and hang out.
