We went to Druber's today the service was fast, professional and nice. They were kind and patient as my kids took their time to pick out donuts. The donuts were great, very tasty and fresh, my kids loved them. They even gave us an extra donut when my daughter couldn't decide which to get. I would recommend this donut shop to anyone in Newton! read more

These donuts are so delicious very light and soft but, you have to be there early because they sell fast!!

If I could give them a negative 5 stars I would. They shouldn't even be called a donut shop. Unfortunately for a donut shop they don't have hardly any donuts at all. They basically always to order. No one should have to wait 15 to 30 minutes for a donut. Don't even waste your time with drubers go to the other donut shop in Newton or the gas stations at least they know how to make enough donuts so no one has to wait half an hour read more

After eating there stomach shortly started turning then started throwing up throughout the day at one point hurled three times in two hours.

Just stopped in, the lady at the counter was super nice and filled our donuts with a variety of fillings. She even threw in a free donuts at the end. Very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend read more

I wish they still had their longer hours but this is one of the absolute BEST places to get donuts and coffee, and milk too. They usually have whole vitamin D milk for 79¢. Can't really beat that. read more

I hadn't been to Druber's for a while. I think maybe it had been 5 years. I'm super glad they're offering breakfast now. It's delicious and filling. The donuts are as classic as ever. It was a trip down memory lane for sure. I hope people continue supporting this shop. read more

A must stop any time we come to Kansas these doughnuts are amazing!!! Can't decide what I like best

Gone downhill of late. Food - donuts are fresh daily, I think. Wide selection. They just aren't the best donuts around, like they use to be. Atmosphere - Utilitarian in nature. Many tables and booths. Seems there is always a group of retirees sitting in the place, which is not bad. It's just a little uncomfortable when they watch everyone come in as if saying, "who are you and what are you doing in our donut shop." Service - The few times I've been in lately I have had to wait for them to make coffee. Seems to me if the pot(s) are half full they should start a new pot, instead of waiting until the pots are empty. Employees don't seem to enjoy their work. They aren't friendly and don't smile. read more

I came to Druber's Daylight Donuts with my girlfriend who is from Newton. She praised it as though it was the best thing since donuts were invented. Period. The hours are great she said, they open at night for the college kids & stay open through the morning for the older regulars that have been coming here for generations she said. I believed her because she's smart & I was hopeful because she said they also have awesome Bierocks with 4 flavors (Taco, BBQ, Ham & Cheese that reminds her of her child hood growing up & my classic fave original with onions, cabbage & ground beef like I had growing up as a good Catholic school boy jk) My day got better when I saw the coffee is fairly priced at $1.45 & cappuccino $2.40 for the large. Take that Starbucks. Their donuts are 60 cents each & $6.60 per dozen. Compared to Dunkin donuts 95 cents & $8.99 per dozen. Good job again. That's all the good news. Sorry but I'm not usually the one to complain about a small business but I see Druber's as the business that's ran like it's still the 1960s. It's usually a restaurant that has dated pictures of trains on the wall, the countertops are the same original yellow hue as your grandparents house which was built in 1920. The floorboard creaks in some spots. The AC is a window unit that isn't turned on since it's November but today is oddly hot 63 outside but closer to 80 inside because of the ovens. The restrooms are behind the kitchen counter. Who does that? There's no wifi, no electrical outlets to plug in your laptop computers, phones, or other mobile devices. And yet, this Daylight Donuts survives. They may in fact be doing OK. The food is still pretty good. There remains a loyal customer base of older retired people here in the mornings and college crowds in the evenings. I believe the business does well because it has little competition in the neighborhood besides Charlie's truck stop that has food 24/7 but no donuts except the gas stations around town. Finally, for my lack of 5 star review is that this place is making one colossal mistake: "Sorry, we don't accept credit cards." Do you ever hear this at bigger donut shops, coffee shops, or 7-Elevens? I asked, why not? "I've been here 18 yrs. Nothing's changed" said the Daylight Donut Lady. Here's a fact: many people aren't carrying cash anymore. You will have to accept credit cards, and soon you will have to accept electronic payments. Don't try to pretend that we, your customers, don't know the real reasons why you don't accept credit cards. You don't want to pay the extra fees, right? Yes, there are fees. All the credit card companies charge them. And so do mobile payment services such as PayPal and Square. Welcome to 2015. Remaining cash only may not only cost you new customers, but keeping the ones that you have. I may really like the Donuts at the little family joint in Newton, but I'm getting tired of the "we only accept cash" sign that hangs in front of the register. There are plenty of other places in Newton that serve a good cup of coffee who accept credit cards, have wifi, and let me charge my phone while on Yelp. read more

This is a great place to enjoy the premier donuts of Kansas. The owners Phil and Lena provide excellent service and great hospitality. They make some items that the previous owners did not make, like breakfast sandwiches. The price is more than reasonable and if you time it correctly you can hear all the latest new in the community. There is a community newspaper that is available most days. The coffee cups are bottomless while you are in the store. read more

I have been there twice. Both times I ended up leaving because they had only a couple doughnuts left. This is no way to run a business.

I LOVE IT!!! ---- and it's coming from a Krispy Kreme fan!! Druber's Donut is the best. When they open the shop at 11.00 pm, the whole town is filled with sweet scent of sugar and spice!! I love their donut. Everything tastes great. The peanut butter glazing is heavenly delicious. Muffins are first-rate. It reminds me of a summertime. Now, I'm 1,300 miles away from Newton and I miss it so much. Sure, I have Krispy Kreme right around the corner but nothing compares to homemade donut & muffins I had at Druber's. read more

Get up, get in your car, and drive to Newton for the best donuts in life. People go out of their way for these donuts for a reason. They are made week taste well and perfect! Now when I try other donuts I realiZe they don't compare to how amazing these are. They only take cash so make sure you take plenty so u can try everything! Their peanut butter twist thing is one I always get. Eat relax and enjoy! I'd i could freeze them and eat them later I would. read more

Druber's Donut Shop - Donuts Near Me - Newton, Kansas

This place is timeless. If you have not been by Druber's in the last couple of years, it has yet to change. This is one of the very few places in Newton that is open late for the insomniacs, drunks, HS/College kids, and people who have a sweet tooth for something fresh. They have all kinds of drinks to choose from and the fresh smell of hot donuts. It feels nostalgic to order some long john donuts with a carton of chocolate milk to hit the spot. I do miss the donuts they used to have that had cherries in them. read more

This was also one of my college hangouts. I'm not super crazy about donuts, but these were really good. You walk in and see those Mennonites making donuts fresh. The customer service was great. The prices were low. It's a perfect hangout for college students. read more

Drove 30 minutes to get donuts and had a sign saying they were closed, nothing on their website or facebook, get it together

It's 3 am my train is running a little late. Went for a walk looking for something to eat. I was told about this place by a local. I'm glad he told me about it. I had a very good apple fritter. I'm not an expert on them but have had a few and this ranks pretty high in my book. Very friendly person at register. And did I meant on 3 am. So I recommend this place off of main a half block on 6th Ave. The train runs behind occasionally and this isn't too far to walk. read more

If you want the best donut you've ever had AND a place to hang out all night long, then Druber's is the place for you. Swing by around opening time (10 or 11 PM) and you will find a pack college kids from one of the many local small colleges. A couple hours later the next wave of college kids will hit, these ones will be in for the long haul. Once they filter out around 2 or 3 the place is ready for the early morning trucker crowd. ] As far as ambiance goes, I am sure this place hasn't updated since the late 60s or early 70s, and that's how it should be. The baffling round/octoganal table is great for large groups and board games. My two gripes about Druber's are these: One, the owner/manager can get uptight when a group of kids gets rowdy. Two, using the restroom is kind of a sketchy adventure--you've got to kind of battle your way through the kitchen and make it to the back of the store! read more

Best donut shop ever! The guy that owns it is very kind and hard working. Best part is that the are are DELICIOUS & cheap! Go try it out!!

Ah, Druber's. I have such fond childhood memories of you. My mom used to work at the newspaper across the street, which is perhaps part of the reason we stopped in semi-regularly. As a three to five year-old, I was a big fan of the bear claw, donut holes, and long John with either chocolate milk or hot chocolate, depending on the season. I guess some things never change. Druber's is your classic small-town, old school donut shop. You'll be sure to see primarily locals and that group of old men at the corner table who've been coming every morning for coffee and donuts since anyone can remember. The donuts are cooked fresh each morning and they are delicious! Step aside Krispy Kreme, you got nothin' on Druber's! (P.S. Although I was born in Newton, I grew up in Oregon and I think it's kinda funny that all of these reviews have been written by West Coasters. We must be starved for a good fried pastry.) read more

Oh man this place is great for late night gatherings. I remember when I use to live in Newton, we use to come here all the time. After moving away for a while, I came back to visit. The place hasn't changed much and it's still awesome. We make it a habit to stop by and eat at least once each time we come. It's a small town donut shop with lots of appeal. read more

These doughnuts are some of the best (if not the best) doughnuts I've eaten. I don't want to hype it up and have your expectations dashed, but seriously, great doughnuts at great prices! If you want doughnuts and this place is open, there's no need to stop anywhere else! Make sure you take cash or a check though. They don't take credit cards. read more

Druber's is a triumph of local economy, a cultural experience and a joy to frequent. They also make doughnuts, spectacular doughnuts--I personally recommend the peanut butter twists and coffee sticks. Their prices are scandalously low. This is doubly true on Christmas Eve when they halve their prices for any customer (as well as providing free pictures with Santa, if that's your thing). Early early in the morning Druber's is the haunt for older gentlemen who meet, share local gossip and drink a whole lot of coffee. At night it turns into "the cool place to be" for local high school and college students. If you stay into the wee hours of the morning, you might see local railroad workers stopping in for a mid-shift snack and a coffee. Now the coffee won't win any awards. It is a simple working-man's coffee that tastes like it hasn't changed since the Second World War--the perfect compliment to the hometown atmosphere and fresh, warm doughnuts made and served daily. Druber's is the kind of place you would see on one of those "Let's get back to work, America" type of commercials with the very Midwest-looking lady pouring coffee and raising the blinds, readying her caffe for another Monday. It is a doughnut shop with character, lots of it. read more

A local institution in Newton. As it should be. My recommendations: squid; peanut butter twist; old fashioned; donut holes; maple nut roll.

Drubers has been awesome since the 80s, when I started going there. It recently underwent some minor changes (rearranging of furniture in the room you enter into). The other HUGE change is that they ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS! You have to eat over a dollar to use this service, but it really bugged me that you had to run past an ATM to go there, and now we know that next time we can just come. Also, they are open on Sunday morning. They even have special pricing for church groups! My husband grew up with a "Donuts every Sunday" tradition in his family, so no ability to get donuts on Sunday was really weird to him. No more. Now the two things that were annoying are solved. Oh, and Peanut Butter twists and cream filled Long Johns or Bismarks are the BEST! read more

I don't know what the hype was about. The doughnuts and coffee were mediocre. Personally I would've prefered a box from the local Dillons, where the doughnuts are a lot softer. read more

Took the kids for the first time and all 3 said the shirt drive from Goddard to Newton was worth it! We were able to wait for the glazed donuts fresh from the fryer absolutely worth the wait! It's a family tradition to get donuts to start summer and close it out for school! Bring cash or check. New owner has new hours too. This is a charming small town donut shop that has they nostalgia of past times. Will always be on our to do lists anytime of the year! read more

this is an old fashioned place that knows if youre doing something right, you dont change it. Moved here to Newton from Tx and i heard all about how this was THE PLACE to be in Newton. Now that ive been there, i can see why. Its timeless charm and warm atmosphere is the perfect combination of what makes America great. And the fresh twists are the bomb. read more

I had a really nice review on here and deleted it after last night! I flew all the way from San Diego in hopes to buy a small bag of donut holes. I walk in and see a huge tray of fresh donut holes are made. I am placing my order and the cashier Matt tells me they are out of donut holes. I pointed at the huge tray of donut holes and asked why he could give me some of those? He said those are for orders. I said for what time, he said 3 or 6 am orders. It was midnight, I said aren't you going to make more donut holes by 3 am and he said yes, I asked why they couldn't sell me one small bag of donut holes and later when they make more set those aside for the 3 am order. He said we can't. I think this is the most absurd experience I've now had at a restaurant! Matt said if you want to place an order and return at 10 am we can have some ready for you. Don't worry Druber's Donuts you have lost my business I won't ever be back after this BS incident! Zero customer service! I even asked if I could just buy one single donut hole and the guy would not budge! I had to go to my grandmother's funeral the next morning so I didn't make it back to pick up donut holes. Thanks for nothing Drubers! There is competition in town and you go treating your customers this way you may not stay open much longer! Also, the donuts I ended up buying do not taste like the old Drubers! Something is off. Very disappointed and won't go back. read more

Came here for the first time ever tonight! Had the peanut butter roll off of suggestion and it was 100% worth it. The family who runs the place is very friendly. Awesome place for us Tabor kids and surround small areas to flock to for a late night snack! Definitely recommend! read more

These donuts are amazing. When visiting, I look forward to getting up early to pick these up to share with my dad. Not a donut - eater normally, but these are the best. read more

Every trip into Newton results in a stop here. We even end up taking a box back tho Missouri with us!

Delicious donuts including the amazing peanut butter donut. Things have changed a tad since the shop came under new owners. There is now more frosting on the donuts and the "pink" flavor is different. The lunch menu "cheese coneys", while still delicious, are not the same. There is a different breeding. It is now more bun like. Still yummy and I frequent! read more

We bought these donuts for friends, and they absolutely loved them-- both the regular glazed donuts and the variety dozen. This is their favorite place, and I agree! Thank you to the owners for their kindness. This is a great local business. read more

The donuts are the best in town!! Great for a late summer night go to spot or something to surprise the family with on a Saturday and now Sunday morning!! The new owners have been keeping up with the same goals and values and look forward to many more years of patronage. read more

Donuts good, customer service is good only if you're local. Oh, bring cash only they aren't very modern. Very small town very old fashioned

Delicious food! Defiantly recommend coming here, even if passing through or not! Great place to hang out with friends and family! Wonderful atmosphere with very kind workers, also very reasonable prices. A great place to go if you're in the mood for a midnight snack. read more

Nothing fancy. Nothing crazy Just plain Jane yummy donuts. The owners are always there and everyone is so helpful and friendly. Plus has a good cheap cup of coffee read more

I've lived all over the country, and I have never had better donuts than Druber's. I love love love them. And I love the fact that they have wheat donuts and wheat donut holes. And I love their meat pies. When I was a kid (15 years ago), they had the greatest chocolate chip cookies, but then they changed their recipe or something, and now they're mediocre. I used to go there right as they opened and get a donut that hadn't been frosted yet and that was still warm. Sounds weird, but it's GOOD! read more
