Nice, classic donut shop!…read more My family surprised me by picking these up after a recent half-marathon. They were swayed by the reviews, and my daughter's insistence that we go to a real donut shop, not just a coffeeshop that might have one or two. We ended up with some various sprinkly ones for the kids, a glazed, and several of the blueberry old-fashioned glazed that are always a favorite. They had great flavor, and were dense but not overly so (I say that as a compliment, the old-fashioned ones need to be a bit dense IMO.) Prices are good, and it sounds like a nice family-run spot as well. Donuts are a rare thing for us but fun when they happen, so we'll remember this spot down the road I'm sure.

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.

Yelpers said this place was amazing. That's my assessment too…read more 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.

We got six flavors to try and here's our ratings (refer to photo). Pandan Coconut - 10/10, our fav by a long shot!!!! Bavarian - 6.5/10, needed a bit more flavor but we loved the creaminess. Strawberry Rhubarb - 6/10 (I liked it more than my partner but he's not a big strawberry fan, worth trying for sure!!). Everything Donut - 7/10, a little in the salty side but fun to try for sure!! Classic Cinnamon - 7/10, light, fluffy and airy. Nutella - 4/10, the Nutella was super thick inside this so you have to strategically plan your bites so you're getting and even amount of donut to Nutella ratio, my first bite was like eating a big spoonful of peanut butter, obviously tasty tho Nutella is delish. We would definitely come back!! Getting two coconut next time though!

I've been following almost since their Lawrence farmer market days so when they opened up a…read morephysical location I was psyched. $5 a donut seemed a bit pricey at first but I've never found anywhere else that does sourdough donuts and I travel a lot so it's worth it to me. I don't recommend the savory donuts. I've tried the everything bagel flavor and it was way too salty. I dusted off most of the flavoring and it was still very salty. The sweet donuts are better. I also like the plain sourdough donut ($4) with no filling because I don't have much of a sweet tooth. My favorite flavor is the pandan one because it's not too sweet (saying "it's not too sweet" is a meme but also kind of an ultimate compliment for Chinese taste buds). I recently went on at 8:30 am on a Friday, waited in line for about 20 minutes and was able to buy the donuts I wanted. They always have a line but it seems like you can still have a solid chance of getting donuts if you line up to an hour even after opening. They also have some batch drinks on tap, a nice space with enough seating, and even some board games and books.

I've always been a big fan of LaMars but the pricing there has kind of gone through the roof, and I'd rather spend my money locally than drive thru Krispy Kreme so my kids and I found ourselves here around 9am on a Saturday. I was a bit worried it would be busy as many donut spots are around 9am on a weekend, but it was fairly empty except for a few cyclists that had ended their am ride here. The kids and I decided to get a mixed dozen of "small" donuts which the gal working said was essentially anything with a hole. The price with a small tip was around $20 which I think is reasonable, at LaMars I think a dozen can easily put you back closer to $50 which is absolute lunacy. When I arrived at my friend's house she said this place is her husband's new favorite donut spot and I could see why. I ate a chocolate sprinkle cake donut my daughter took one bite out of and it was fresh, tasty, honestly just as good as LaMars. I'm not ready to go all in on a five star review, but I'll be back! Definitely above average and reasonably priced. If you're in the area give them a try!
