5 stars for simple reasons - they're open 24/7 so midnight cravings are solved, and they have a cream cheese donut that I haven't been able to find a replica of anywhere else. Absolutely fantastic. Well worth the value. Their other donut options taste great too. Whenever I'm in Lawrence I always make a stop. Counter service, and there's some tables with seating inside. I sometimes see people hanging out here or studying at night.

Man, who didn't pay the fruit filling guy? I remember when I was a young, strapping Jayhawk, I'd go in here at 1 in the A.M. and I'd have a strudel and a fritter, and would be DELIGHTED to nearly eat a full apple in the process with as much as the saints of old decided to inject into these wonderful concoctions. Boy, have times changed! This was little more than sugar caked on sugar, with 3 pieces of apple per near $2 item. Has inflation hit that hard? Listen, let me know if you need apples; I got a guy, I can get as many apples as you can carry. Good deal too, just let me know. This got me wondering if the wonder years of collegiate yore are more imaginative than I let on to myself. I remember the excitement of KU, and the donuts to follow. I make it a point anytime I'm grazing the myelin sheath of Lawrence, I do right by my past to head 3 miles from any direction to acquire a box of heart attack memory from my alma donut mater. I think I'll give us some space. We need it. My heart needs it after that sugar explosion. Subtly in food is desired. Quit paying the sugar guy, and start paying the apple guy again. Like I said, I'll get ol' Johnny Appleseed to swing by, just let me know.

Donuts

Donuts and pastries are always great, highly recommend! Plus it's open 24/7, how could you beat that?!

We had Munchers as the dessert option for our October 2024 wedding. It was easy to place the larger order in-store & coordinate having our planner pick them up her way to the venue. The doughnuts were absolutely delicious and all of our guests raved about them! Munchers always has been and will continue to be the best. You just can't beat the cream cheese & strawberry cream cheese doughnuts.

My husband and I have this weird thing were we crave doughnuts at strange times of the day or night. And NO it is not for the reason you maybe thinking. We just really like baked goods. We were visiting our daughter at KU, and mentioned we wished there was some place with a 24hr doughnut shop. She said we have a place! And recommended Munchers. From what I understand it is a Lawrence staple and very popular with the KU students. They are located in a strip mall across from a bowling alley. The shop has almost a homey feel. And the lady who served us was very sweet and helpful. They have a good selection of doughnuts, cakes, cookies and other pastries. The prices are reasonable. The doughnuts have a good rise and are light and fluffy. The only downside, per my husband, is they did not have crullers (his favorite). But he was pleased with the cinnamon rolls (his 2nd fave) and cinnamon doughnuts. My daughter likes the cream cheese doughnuts. My favorite out of this trip was the strawberry knot. We will be returning next time we are in Lawrence.

Very yummy and affordable baked good and cakes!!

I would like to know if you guys do cakes as well as pastries? I have a great boss and our group of people would like to do something special for him. If you do, do cakes could you give me a pricelist with size and how many persons served? Your help…

Yes! Unfortunately, we do not have an online pricing list as each cake is going to be different depending on the individual ordering. Please give us a call at 785-749-4324 between 6am and noon to speak with our cake decorator. Thanks!

Based on reviews here and TikTok videos, we brought lawn chairs and arrived in line at 7am on a…read moreFriday, and that is what I'd recommend doing! 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!

YUM YUM YUM! if you love cream filled donuts then this is your place to be!!! After learning about…read moreall the sourdough donut hype, watching viral reels on instagram and seeing those delicious donut photos, I had to try it out and today was the day!!! I arrived at 6.45 am and there were already around 60+ people waiting on a Friday morning .. crazy right.. I heard Saturdays are even worse lol. Finally got to enter the shop at 8.15 am and picked up 6 donuts. I think they rotate flavors often or have one new flavor every week, so the ones I got were Bavarian, Blood orange raspberry, Pandan coconut, Biscoff cream and Hot honey pimento cheese. Honestly after taking a bite from each one, the wait time, the hype, all those viral reels actually made soo much sense haha. The donuts are packed with cream but still feel so light and airy, almost feels like biting into a cloud cake. If I had to pick favorites then it would be the Spicy pimento cheese and the Bavarian. The bakery is open Fridays and Saturdays, Fridays starting at 8 AM and Saturdays from 9 AM and the donuts sell out by 10 am. I also heard the owner mention they might open Thursdays soon!!! Each donut is around $5 plus, and I didn't really mind paying that much because the quality is top notch. I even saw the owners chatting with people in line which was nice, they seemed pretty friendly. Loved the ambience inside the shop too, especially the huge white hanging lanterns and how clean and simple the space felt. Overall, these donuts are a hitttt. If you're planning to go early morning, try to get in line by 6:30 AM or at least by 7 AM. If you do end up after the store opens, just know the line gets really long and there's a chance you might miss out. Good Luck!

It was difficult to decide which I wanted. It was like an assembly line of perfect little treats. The staff was very nice and helpful. The selection seemed endless and they had drinks in cans that were delicious. I had a very difficult time choosing which I was going to try. There is a seating area in the rear of the restaurant. It was full of happy people eating pastries and chatting. It was a perfect setting. I had heard about this place for years but never ventured inside. I regret not going to this lovely place sooner. I will definitely go back and recommend. I guess this is a franchise business with locations all over the US. I am just glad we have one in Lawrence. Still... WOW!

Couldn't believe it when I a friend told me this place has been in operation for years. Guess I need to venture over to Lawrence from Topeka more often! While not the case across the board, we found a number of the items we selected to be on par with the quality of treats we enjoy while visiting France. Needless to say I will be wearing out the Turnpike making return visits to this real gem.

This includes of course the history of Lawrence and how influential this building has been over time. Since I've been in Lawrence (which is about 10 years now which is so nuts) this has been Merchants. I love Merchants. It's consistently (to me) a top 3 restaurant on Mass St. The food is high quality. The service is high quality. The chefs table is a vibe (idk if they still have it but they did a few years ago). Anyway, the duck and dumplings was so comforting. It was the perfect ratio of duck to dumpling to vegetable to broth. The bison burger always slaps and the fries are so yummy. Dare I say they have the best burger in town? Also you guys have the BEST Diet Coke. So good and crispy. I love you Merchants! Also sitting next to the window and looking out to the twinkle lights on mass was so dreamy.

The restaurant itself is beautiful inside -- a cozy mix of rustic and modern that creates a really inviting atmosphere. Service started a little slow, though our waitress became more attentive once she came by. We mentioned it was our first visit, so I was a bit surprised there wasn't much guidance on the menu or any recommendations. At one point I asked about the two kinds of fries (I love fries!), and the explanation was simply that they were "fancy fries," without much detail on flavors or differences. We started with drinks and the Brussels sprouts appetizer. The sprouts were actually very good, with a nice balance in the sauce, and both the wine and sangria were refreshing. Unfortunately, dinner is where things went downhill. Our meals -- a steak and a gluten-free chicken sandwich -- took about 45 minutes to arrive, which felt long for relatively simple dishes. I had asked about the gluten-free bun since they can sometimes be dry, but didn't receive much insight beyond "it's gluten free," and sadly it was indeed very dry. The chicken itself lacked flavor, though the goat cheese cilantro sauce helped make it somewhat enjoyable. The fries looked homemade and delicious but arrived cold. The steak was cooked as requested, but it didn't have much flavor beyond the mushrooms on top. The broccoli side was tasty, and the potatoes were good, though it on a bed of Some kind of cheese sauce that wasn't quite to our liking. Overall, the space and gluten-free availability were promising, and the appetizers and drinks were enjoyable, but the food execution and service details didn't quite meet expectations for us this visit.
