Get there early and bring cash. Their glazed donut and their cinnamon twist are the best donuts in the entire city. And that's enough to make this the best donut shop. If you are looking for ambiance, crazy varieties, or an endless supply throughout the day, you will be disappointed. They run out so quickly because they're really that good. They've been open for 40 years and have new owners but the donuts are still on point. The couple who runs this place do everything. They start at midnight and by 9 am when they run out of donuts they go home. And that part is so charming. We love Fluffy Fresh, and I will sing their praises forever. read more

Had these donuts first time today! Amazing, lots of variety! Best donuts I have had in years. Great owners!

Excellent local donut shop and Korean owned. The owner selected 2 dozen donuts for my coworkers. The quality and taste was excellent. So yummy. read more

This was the best donut shop in the metro. Like, these donuts were so good, family asked us to pick them up and take them when we visited. Sadly it has closed. read more

Love the new ownership. Met Eric earlier today and took an assorted box to go. Yahoo, Fluffy Fresh is back with the origanal recipes! Credit card processing coming soon. read more

Decent donuts, but I've arrived a few times now between 8-9 am and they've been nearly out of donuts. Inexplicably low on inventory given demand, which means if you're not up early you're going to miss the boat. Make more donuts. read more

Best in town. We tried the Korean coffee and loved it. This is exactly the doughnut you are looking for. Thanks for bringing them back

Best kept secret donuts in KC. This Mom and Pop shop is cash only and they only make a select amount of donuts daily. But rest assured, they have the best cake donuts that are worth a 6am wake up. read more

The as noted, the current owners have kept Jim (the prior owner's) recipes alive and the donuts are FANTASTIC! So happy to see Fluffy Fresh continue - these are the best dounts in Kansas City. read more

Their new grand opening is scheduled for Thur March 19, 2026. I stopped by today the 18th to check them out. The new couple running it were taught by the original owner Jim and they are using his receipt. Our great donuts are back. Stop by and support the new owners they are a real nice couple and you might even run into Jim who is there off and on. Same great taste as always!!!! read more

Been going to FF for years. Despite the same name, it is NOT just like the one on State Line. This one is better. Pro tip: Call the night before and pre-order your donuts. It doesn't matter the size of your order. read more

The best doughnut in the whole entire city hands down. This place opens like at 5 AM and I see donuts sell out by 7 AM. The only downside to this restaurant/donut shop is that they only make enough for the day and they accept cash only. The ambience is mid due to most of the nostalgic decor being dirty and needs a good steam cleaning. read more

They aren't even open. Sign outside says we will return when we can. Seems sketchy, wasted part of a morning just to discover this. How can it be a great donut shop when it's not even open! read more

The best donuts I've EVER had. And I consider myself something of a donut connoisseur *chefs kiss*. Every time I've had Fluffy Fresh, the donuts are exactly that - extremely fluffy and incredibly fresh. read more

Tried to come here 3 times lol. Closed the first 2 times. Finally opened the third. They close once they sell out (makes sense) so beware of the hours online! I'd suggest calling before hand if you're a late riser like me. But the owner is so kind! Love him! Such a cute history of the shop. The donuts themselves are great. Definitely fluffy. Watch my comprehensive donut review vlog for the full synopsis! PS THEY ONLY TAKE CASH OR COIN (;. https://youtu.be/tA0JbL7yMCE read more

These are some of the best donuts in town! Their glazed is by far the best. They are best nice and warm. Literally fluffy and fresh!! The best part is that they are very affordable. You can get a dozen for less than $10 bucks and assorted two dozen like the one in my picture for mess than $20. This donut shop does sell out fast so it is best to go early. They open as early has 6am. You can also call the night before to put in a large order or to ensure that you get an order. They usually close by 10am from selling out. The service there is also excellent! read more

Fluffy Fresh - Two dozen of goodness. - Donuts Near Me - Mission, Kansas

Good donuts. Mom and pop store that only accepts cash. We had enough to choose from but it looked like they were making more.

Drove 20 minutes. Pull up and they were closed on a Tuesday Morning at 0700. (12/12/23) I had checked their FB page and the web prior to going and everything said they were open. Poor business practice. Luckily Lamar's was open up the street. read more

There is no better glazed donut in Kansas City. This mom-&-pop shop cranks out the most delicious and FLUFFY donuts I've ever had! Do yourself a favor and visit Fluffy Fresh if you're in Mission - you'll never hit those better-known places again! Important to note- the donuts go fast, so get there early. Also, bring cash! They do not take credit or debit cards. I believe they take checks, but cash is king here. read more

Excellent doughnuts, best service...nice and friendly folks that just want to make your day. I can only say try them and you will be back for seconds. You will not be disappointed! Run don't walk as they sell out fast. Word has gotten around. YUM, YUM! read more

Let me preface this by saying I'm no donut guru. I associate donuts with occasional Fridays in an office or those rare mornings that I wake up too early and am out of the house. My latest donut adventure came on the summer solstice, when I found myself wide awake at 5 a.m. on a Sunday. I figured I should get up and enjoy the longest day of the year and see the streets without any cars on them. After cruising around and getting coffee I found myself at Fluffy Fresh in Mission. I walked up to see the big "We do NOT accept credit or debit cards" sign.... D'oh! Determined at this point, I run to an ATM and make it back at 6:45. Some dude in front of me literally orders up every good looking donut I could see and skips back to his card leaving me wondering if this is really meant to me or not. The selection was SO paltry and the sun had just come up. I couldn't believe that they didn't have more, and I communicated as much to them. At this point, my easy Sunday mornin' was turning into a one or two star experience. Then something changed - I'm talking with the woman running the shop who had been in since 2 a.m. and she shows me miles and miles of donuts that are packed and ready to go for Father's Day. Oh yeah! So it's not typical for them to be down to their last dozen at 6:45, they've just been busting their ass all night to make sure the orders were covered. Makes way more sense. So I'm thinking three stars at this point, and I grab a single glazed and head out. Sensing my frustration, the owner grabs me a warm one. I tell you what, a warm, glazed Fluffy Fresh donut will make you feel better real fast. Four stars. I'm not going to hustle back anytime soon, but it's a good, small-town feeling donut shop that's worth going to. read more

This place is incredible! I believe it is a husband wife that work there. They are always super nice. Always go above and beyond. When I ask for them a jelly filled donuts for my wife they never have a problem getting them ready for me. The glaze donuts are incredible. O and on top of that you will not find a better price for donuts than at fluffy fresh. Make sure to bring cash though. They do not accept credit cards. read more

These are my favorite donuts in KC. Now let's get things straight. This is a no frills donut shop. No flashing lights or fancy donuts here. Just good Old Fashioned (see what I did there?) donuts. They do a different flavored old fashioned each day of the week. My favorites are the orange and cherry. The glazed donut is one of the best things I've ever put into my mouth. It's fluffy, yeasty, sweet, a little crunch from the frying. And their chocolate frosted long Johns are amazing. Every time I am in town visiting family we always make a trip to get donuts. The best part is you can call them and leave a message of what you want for your order and they will have it ready for you the next morning! That is the best way to ensure you get what you want. There have been times I've gotten a craving and I walk in around 8:30 -9. And they are about sold out. This small mom and pop style donut joint puts a smile on my face every time I talk about it. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Think of this place like it's the soup nazi on Seinfeld. Walk in the door step to the left place your order and make sure you have cash. If you want service don't come here, if you want the best damn donuts in KC this is the place. Don't listen to the one star reviews they are all wrong and can't handle beauty, art or truth. If they say they are open on their Facebook page but they are closed change your plans and check tomorrow, or the next day or the next because you want these donuts. Don't call because they won't answer because you are not important, the art of the donut is the only thing that matters. Hand made with care in the back by someone who needs to take my money. If they raised the prices I would still eat here. Thanks Fluffy, I'll be there in the morning cash in hand. read more

Fluffy's is a real treat!! Such delicious donuts and the kindest owners. Favorites: cinnamon twist and glazed - so fresh! Their vanilla sprinkle is very good also. Here's the trick - call the night before and place your order and let them know what time you plan to pick it up. Shoot for 8am! They close when they run out so plan to be an early bird. They may even offer you a complimentary cup of coffee! They have some nice vintage Kansas City memorables hanging around in the donut shop. Overall a pretty cool place, I highly recommend! read more

Fluffy Fresh - a box of doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Mission, Kansas

Damn these donuts are good. Look, if you're looking for swanky or "pairing with a cappuccino", go elsewhere. But if you're looking for donuts that were made fresh at 5am served in a box by a dude who was worked here forever, this is your place. Definitely don't sleep on the cinnamon twist. There's nothing fancy about it. And that's what makes a good donut, IMO. Prices are reasonable but make sure you HAVE CASH! (If the donuts weren't so good, it would be minus one star for not keeping up with the times for digital payment, but oh well). This little hole in the wall is a great find. Get a box, you won't regret it. read more

You're a donut shop and you're sold out before 8 o'clock. It doesn't make sense. Figure it out or retire.

Don't answer the phone, owner/cook was a bit brusque and rude. Barely any selection even after just opening, surprised they spend the effort for the little stock and potential sales. read more

Best donuts in Kansas City. The glazed, maple long John's and cinnamon twists are amazing. Also have daily specials. Get there early as they only make a limited quantity each day. Usually sold out by 9am. Cash only, so don't come unprepared. A kc institution for 40+ years. read more

My wife and I agree, the glazed donuts are tied for best in Missouri/Kansas. Excellent texture (soft + chewy somehow), just right on the glaze, good size, and well priced. Will be back. read more

Best donuts of any of them. This place has been around forever and the reason is because they are awesome. I don't go anywhere else if I'm getting donuts. I bought some for my class and they loved them too. read more

Nothing compares!! Worth the drive for the best glazed donuts and long johns you've ever tasted. My daughter's 8th birthday is coming up - forget the cake, she wants a big birthday donut! Definitely get there early or call an order in the night before. read more

Never before in my life would I hustle out the door on a bright and early Saturday morning stressing whether donuts would be sold out...that was before I became addicted to Fluffy Fresh. I have never been a donut lover, I always figure they aren't worth the calories. These donuts melt in your mouth! Bite by bite, I fall in love each week and wish I'd bought more than a couple. Best donuts-worth every calorie. Favorite way to start my weekend. read more

This place is a trip back in time where people took pride in what they do. The inside has not change but neither has the donuts. Ran by a husband and wife, they get there in the middle of the night and make donuts while we sleep. What you get is one of the best donuts you have ever had. read more

THE BEST donut place in Kansas city. My dad uses to get these and then I followed in his foot steps. Been coming here for YEARS!! When you walk in, you'll find yourself in a cloud of smoke. At first, it's like being transported back to when people smoked I'm bars, but soon you'll smell bread baking with hunts of cinnamon and sugar and instantly feel nostalgic. There are TWO locations, but I'm talking about the one off Johnson drive, not state line. It's run by a couple. I do not know how long it has been there, but judging by the pictures on the walls, at least 20 years? They don't even have a sign, it just says "DONUTS" and when your product is that good, you don't need to waste money on a fancy box either. Thia place is old school all the way!! I go just for their cinnamon twists (they run out by like 8 on weekends) so be warned. You also can't beat their prices, which is good because it's CASH ONLY, so keep that in mind. So worth every penny. It makes me feel sorry for the overpriced Lamar's that is a block away. read more

Fluffy Fresh reminds me of being a kid. I grew up in a small town where there was a little donut shop for the farmers. No, you don't see many farmers around Fluffy's, but it's the same atmosphere. It's kind of a grungy little shop. CASH ONLY. Prices are cheap & product is tasty. Don't plan on them passing any white glove test, but take it for what it is: a mom & pop shop. read more

The donuts here are AWESOME!! If, they have any..... If you go here on a Friday morning after 7:00am, you are rolling the dice. The best way to get your donuts is to call the night before and leave a message with your order. Again, the donuts are incredible, but when your son tells you at breakfast that we need to get donuts for school on a Friday........... Best go somewhere else, but if he tells me the night before, we are golden. It's very easy to get what you want if you call it in. They also don't take credit cards. Im old now (42) and I'm rarely carrying cash anymore. My suggestion would be to raise prices 5% and get a square. The glazed donuts here might be the best in the city. The couple that runs the place are really nice. Needs more donuts after 7am Needs to accept credit cards. read more
