Delicious Donuts in Kansas City

Fresh Donuts

The number one stop for donuts in Kansas City is Fresh Donuts. While simple in name, the selection is spectacular and the donuts have remained top quality for so many years. This has made Fresh Donuts a fixture and by far the best donut shop in the northern half of the city. The menu includes yeast donuts (fluffy), cake donuts (dense), and a tasty menu of sausage rolls and croissants. You can see their amazing selection on display the moment you walk in. Once you make your choice, you can take your spoils to the small tables along the side or head home for a donut feast.

Hana's Donuts

Hana's Donuts are individual works of art with a variety of other pastries to explore. Each delicious donut or pastry is beautifully decorated so that your plate or box of treats looks like a festive party any time of the year.  The shop itself is small and cozy, but the selection is amazing. Whether you're looking for donuts full of Bavarian cream or fruit tarts, each with its own lattice of pastry, you'll love the freshness, style, and flavor of Hana's Donuts.

LaMar's Donuts

For a delicious coffee and fresh donuts close to home, swing by LaMar's Donuts and Coffee. The donut selection includes all the standard options, including glazed, chocolate icing, sprinkles, and filings. You'll find fluffy donuts and cake donuts, bear claws, and eclairs to go along with your hot morning cup of coffee. Locals love that the donuts are always soft and fresh with rich flavor in every bite. While the price is a little higher than other donut shops, many enjoy the quality and convenience of this tasty little breakfast stop.

Johnny's Donuts

Johnny's Donuts has been part of Kansas City for so long that it's become a relic. The sign looks a million years old. You order your donuts (and hamburgers) at a walk-up window. This blast from the past is like stepping through a time machine, but don't let that fool you. The donuts are just as good now as they were when that sign was brand new. The staff is also incredibly friendly, and they will help you get the meal you are craving. Want a burger with donuts for buns? No problem!

Just remember to bring cash, as it's a cash-only operation. We consider it part of the nostalgia.

Ray's Donuts

If you're north of downtown from morning to brunch, you simply must try Ray's Donuts. This adorable little shop is a local favorite, drawing hungry breakfasters every morning for their fresh, fluffy donuts, sausage rolls, bear claws, and more. The shop is spacious with plenty of seating for friends and family if you want to stay for a snack, or you can order a dozen to go, and the prices are excellent.

Ray's has also been getting extra attention with availability on DoorDash and UberEats, so you can have fresh, delicious donuts even when you can't stop by in person.

Doughboy Donuts

Doughboy Donuts is a great place for breakfast if you're on the east side of the city. You can get your fill of sweet and savory with the hot made-to-order breakfast menu, including biscuits and gravy, omelets, breakfast burritos, and biscuit breakfast sandwiches which are wildly popular. But what about the donuts? You'll find all the classics hot and fresh every day, including yeast and cake donuts, donut holes, apple fritters, cream and jelly-filled donuts, and their enormous cinnamon rolls. Best of all, they have great prices for boxes of a half-dozen, full dizen, and awesome variety pack deals if you want a little of everything or are quick-catering a breakfast meeting.
