Daylight Donuts

Five hours here this morning, Blackbird was my office. It was noisy enough that I could sit at a…read moretable in the back, enjoy my cortado and then a second swimming pool sized drip coffee, and have no issue with emails, Zoom calls and just generally working undisturbed. It's not quiet, but it's comfortable and at least in the back, easy enough to sit and pound away at the keyboard. Oh, and the coffee was excellent. I love it when a coffee shop serves their cortado in the proper short glass. It was perfection. [Review 794 of 2026 - 134 in Kansas - 25975 overall]

It's usually busy but the service is fast and friendly. They do have some baked goods as well as some breakfast/lunch items but I have not tried the food there yet. I would def recommend trying out this local coffee shop.

Seasonal drinks menu, just seemed like marketing gimmick- the actual drinks don't match up.

In homage to the Girl Scout cookie - a Samoa Cronut that has all the buttery layers of a croissant with the springy chewiness of a donut, coated in tiny flecks of coconut adhered with delicate fresh-made caramel and a chocolate drizzle. It's divine! Also extraordinary: a classic cinnamon roll covered in a generous layer of buttery cream cheese frosting, every bit as satisfying as homemade, without the hassle. For here or there, a Brown Butter Cookie with chocolate chips the consistency of s'more's and a healthy sprinkle of sea salt that's crunchy and surprising in the best way. The space is minimal without feeling cold, with indoor workspace opening to a large landscaped patio. Don't forget the coffee - full circle, it's very good here.

The food was top-notch, bursting with fresh flavors that never let me down. The carrot cake was a slice of heaven--moist, perfectly spiced, and topped with a smooth, rich cream cheese frosting that complemented the cake's warmth beautifully. Each bite was just the right balance of sweetness and depth. The hot chocolate was decadent and comforting, with a velvety texture and just the right amount of chocolatey richness. It was served piping hot, topped with a fluffy cloud of whipped cream, making it the perfect pairing to finish off a cozy night. The service was impeccable - our server was warm, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambience was perfect for a night out, with a cozy yet lively vibe. And the live music was the highlight of the evening, creating such a great atmosphere. Five stars all the way - I highly recommend it!

The guy, Kanti Patel, that owns this place sexually harrases the female employees, even going to the extent of violating personal spaces and groping to offering money for sex. He is in trouble in another state, being sued for sexual harassment. He treats his employees terribly (Excluding famly) . He does not claim taxes and has no workers comp insurance. He works people hours over their 40 hours. He pays with personal checks and makes the employees alter their time cards. Very bad people own this shop. These allegations can all be proven. read more

My wife and I tried their donuts and donut holes with the $10 deal(dozen donuts + 20 donut holes + 1 fancy) - by the way which is AMAZING. Oh and the donuts, well we couldn't stop eating. Their food is WONDERFUL. I highly recommend this place if you want some fresh and tasty donuts. P.S. Their coffee is great and very nice on the wallet.

Never have I left this place disappointed. 1) The donuts are delicious, you can taste the freshness - unlike the frozen donuts across the street or at branch stores such as Dunkin Donuts. 2) The employees are friendly 3) Best donuts in town! If you're looking for donuts, this is the place to come. Make sure you try their apple fritters - delishhhh. 10/10 for this donut shop. read more

Since Dillon's pulled out of the KC area, I try to find a Dillon's when I venture outside of the area. So when we went to Topeka yesterday, there was a Dillon's three miles from where we had to be, so we were excited when lunchtime rolled around and we were getting ready to return to Olathe. Went to Dillon's specifically for the Chinese food. Discovered that the tradition of fast and delicious Chinese food from a Dillon's isn't a given. The lo mein noodles weren't the tradiltional flat lo mein noodles at all; the noodles they used in it were the thick heavy noodles one usually finds in pho. The biggest thing, though, was the lack of any kind of flavor. Just tasted like noodles in a broth with no spices or flavoring. The entrees fell to the same issue: no real flavor at all, very bland. Egg roll was not crispy at all. Service was good. Man behind the counter was very friendly and acknowledged us almost immediately as we walked to the counter.

I don't know if that is common practice, but it was on the sign out front that day and I flashed my ID and took advantage. They also cooperate with local business for promotion. That is actually why I was there that day. My focus group of REALTORS had teamed up with them to offer a promotion to our customers. So, I had to go in and cash in one of our offerings plus spend some extra pocket sugar. I was pleasantly surprised. I will definitely be returning. I am very happy they are offering sweet somethings in downtown Topeka now, and they are also located right next door to my favorite downtown coffee shop, the Classic Bean.
