Got doughnuts there a week ago and they tasted like they were 2-3 days old. I have had great luck at other locations, but I guess this one serves their product until its gone and does not keep it fresh. $11 for 5 old doughnuts, I will not be going back. read more

My husband went to grab doughnuts this morning with our 3 year old son. We are regulars as we have 5 sugar loving kiddos. When he went to checkout he noticed a price difference and inquired about it. The young lady behind the counter immediately had an attitude. My husband then pointed out the price discrepancy on their board. The ladies exact words were "suck to suck".... umm what?!? The general manager, Shane was standing there the whole time, and instead of stepping in to remedy the situation, he told the lady to give him a discount and get him out of here, never even introducing himself as the general manager. My husband then proceeds to call after he has left to speak to the "general manager" and the young lady answers and continues with her very poor attitude, letting my husband know he had already spoke to the general manager.... after he tells her he didn't appreciate The way she treated him, she tells my husband he should be embarrassed to be our kids dad. We spend at least 30 dollars here every 2 weeks and they have now lost our business. Shame on both of these employees, I am a manager of 20 staff members in the medical field, and stressed or not, you never ever speak to someone that way!!! read more

Glazed Donuts that melt in your mouth - Best in Kansas City!! They treat you right and help you fast here read more

I always struggle to choose how many stars to give a business when parts of it were great and other parts not-so-great. Such is the case with LaMar's Donuts in Lee's Summit. We initially stopped here based on (surprise, surprise) Yelp reviews because it was a cold rainy day and we really wanted a good coffee. Bonus that they had donuts. Coming from someone raised in New England where there is a Dunkin' Donuts on every street corner, it's always a treat to go to a smaller establishment that makes donuts onsite because I find they are much tastier than Dunkin. Such was the case here - the donuts ranged from the usual sugar dusted to the exotic, with something for everyone. We got a dozen donuts and a coffee and sat to enjoy both - only to find the coffee was some of the worst I've ever tasted. It made gas station coffee seem like Starbucks. It was lukewarm and served out of a coffee pot like the ones you'd see in the church basements on Sundays. If I had to make one change to this business it would be recommending that they up their coffee game by offering choices and flavors, and investing in a good brand of fresh beans. I think if they had better coffee available, they'd get more customers, although given how many people came and went while we were there, I doubt that is a problem for them! read more

Lo how the mighty have fallen. LaMar's used to have world class donuts when I left KC 5 years ago. I came back, finally found myself near a location before they closed at 1 pm and stopped in. I got a variety of donuts to try but the only one that wasn't like cardboard was the apple spice. If Mr LaMar came in here he'd take away their franchise. I hope all LaMars aren't like this one. read more

Lamar's crafts some of the finest donuts you will ever eat. If you have never sampled their delightful confections, you should do so. They oftentimes sell out of the favorites earlier in the morning, so don't wait too long if you want to get something in particular. read more

We had a great experience here Easter morning after church! We are in town visiting our family so we ran by to grab some donuts and when I tried to pay I was told "Happy Easter! Your donuts are on us today!" What a nice surprise! We will make sure to go to this location every time we are in town now and let everyone know about the great experience! Another reason why we love Kansas City and the people from Kansas City!!! Thank you!!! read more

Now these are donuts. If you like sugary deep fried dough, them LaMar's is the place to go. Great selection of the best donuts you will ever have. They have everything from old fashioned donuts, bear claws, cinnamon rolls, and donut holes. read more

Awesome donuts. The coffee was great too. I highly recommend this place if you are anywhere near Lee's Summit.

Best donut on the planet! Old fashioned, chocolate long john, you can't go wrong. Get there early for the best selection.

Stopped and got 6 specialty donuts paid 18 and change for two powdered donuts and 4 bars jammed on top of them in a chocolate smeared mess of a bag. Given no box, no napkins, and the guy that crammed them all on top of each other complains about how messy they are. Done with this place. Will go down the street where they have boxes and napkins. read more

Just bought a "premium" twist donut. It is the smallest twist I have ever seen! Going back to Quick Trip for my donuts. Same size as Lamar's and half the price! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. read more

Stopped in for a donut after church as my 2.5 year old daughter told me she "needed a donut in her life" (how could I resist?). Customer service was both fast and pleasant. Even though it was after 12:00 PM, the donuts were still fresh, tasty, and surprisingly a good selection remained. The girls all loved their donuts (as did I) as they quickly devoured them. Pretty sure we may become regulars here as there is a GREAT selection. read more

Lamar's, in my opinion, has the best donuts in the KC metro area. It is unfortunate though, the owners don't give the respect their donuts deserve with the customer service and the store set up. If you are wanting donuts during peak donut-buying hours, expect a long, long wait in a crammed store with lots of customers. On a couple occasions, their internet was out and I was unable to make a purchase with my debit card. Employees are hit and miss. Sometimes pleasant, other times downright ornery like you better be grateful they are there to serve you undeserving peasant instead of realizing you are what brings them a paycheck. But the donuts are indeed the very best. I just wish the owners would do more right by them in store size, presentation, employees and working card machines. read more

Their donuts are great, but on more than three occasions I have seen live flying bugs in the donut case/counter.... flying amongst the donuts. They REALLY need to work on keeping the small flying bugs out of their donut case. Also, one minor thing that irks me is they dont make crullers. And I love crullers. And their donuts are a little on the expensive side. Nearly $20 for 6 specialty donuts (like jelly donuts) and 6 regular donuts (like a simple devilsfood donut). read more

Over the top amazing donuts!!! They are DELICIOUS. Not high priced. And they have happy, friendly employees.

LaMar's donuts is about the only donut specialty place in this area. So when I have a work event, I almost always have to use them. I've tried placing an order ahead of time (the day before) and when I call and check on the order that morning, I'm always given an excuse as to why they didn't receive the order and/or why it's not ready. Another time I order ahead of time by 2 hours, got there and was told that they've been very busy and haven't had time to get my order together. Mind you, I always order 1 box of glazed and 1 box of cake assorted - no specialty donuts. Really, 2 hours was not enough time? The last time I was in there again ordering 2 dozen, again not ready- the cake donuts were so dry - customer's thought they were day old donuts. With prices being over $1 a donut I expect better quality. We've also ordered for our events (6 dozen) which were not ready and had to be rushed together then they shorted us donuts! I have not received good service there from any employee on top of the pre orders not being ready. I've never been told "I'm sorry" just an excuse as to why they are not ready. I'm ready to start going to Price Chopper or Hy-Vee for donuts. read more

Best doughnuts in Lees Summit!! Always fresh and so good!! Love the maple bars and doughnut holes!

Excellent donuts and we like the Major Saver. However, why does the 291 store take so many Old Fashions from the south store? They are always out. read more

I spent time to pre-order $102 worth of donuts with no discount. The manager stated that she had been there for some time and totally messed up the order. They crammed 5 dozen donuts in a box so they were pancakes. and they looked terrible. This was for a child's birthday party. They were to be boxed separate and I stated as such, she said that's the way we do things. I said 3 times it was bad customers service and not once did she offer to make it right or apologize. She said have a nice day and shoved them at me. She did NOT care at all! I was taking the donuts to my child's school for his birthday and when I got there I heard 2 more horrible stories about Lamar's and one was ordering weekly large quantities and ended up having to discontinue getting them because of the manager's bad attitude and service. I am an executive and if I had a manager with this attitude costing me business she would be GONE! We did spend money often in your store and as of today NO MORE business from us until she is gone. If the owner or district manager cares this will be addressed, and it will tell a lot of how you do business. read more

Yeah..they are the best donut shop in town because they are the only donut shop in town. Everytime I have gone into this place we are greeted with discontent and annoyance. You try and look around at what they have (because HELLO I dont go out for donuts everyday) and you are hurried out of there and feel like you are holding up everyone in the place. I go there very rarely because of the negative experience we have everytime we go in there. read more
