Glazed donut
Friday B.

The donuts are pretty good! Very, very soft and squishy with lots of glaze. 6 glazed and 1 long John cost us about $13, which honestly seems like a lot for what we got. The woman at the counter also didn't say anything to us other than the total of our order, which was strange, but oh well. I'd recommend you stop and try them if you happen to be nearby!

Wow! These are fantastic donuts. The smell of this place is heavenly. I also appreciate the precautions they are taking in regards to Covid-19. My husband is excited to come back and try some of the food items! EDIT: Husband had the donut cheeseburger and LOVED it. They've set up even more precautions for Covid with a sign at the door that says "no mask, no entry." The small space is limited to 4 people at a time. I'm really happy about this, probably the safest takeout business in the city. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. My only wish is that they'd take cards, but I understand cash only for a small family business. Since they are limiting their space to 4 people at a time; Here's some good pictures of the menu to help you decide what you'd like before you get there .

When my Mom was at St. Luke's Hospital on the Plaza in 2019, I discovered this place. I was a little thrown by the cash only thing, but no biggie. I get it. Small businesses struggling to survive often can't afford the fees charged by the credit card companies. Same with the bulletproof glass I read some complaints about on here. I understand how they want to stay as safe as possible, and this seems like a reasonable remedy. So what if we're kinda yelling back and forth? It's part of the experience! Moving on... Johnny's classic glazed was the last donut my Mom had before her death, and she REALLY enjoyed it! I went there every morning to get her one when she was pronounced terminal. I wanted her to have a little deliciousness in what was left of her life. My son and I went there as a part of an homage after her passing. For that, despite being a fitness nut, I have remained a loyal customer who will make the trip from Lee's Summit specifically for Johnny's Donuts for my monthly "Cheat Meal." I love the classic glazed, and my husband loves the Long John. I've tried the cheeseburgers and fries, too, and they are mmm, mmm, good!!! My husband says the tenderloin sandwich is delish!!! 100% worth the drive into the city for a different and delicious experience! Don't be deterred by "the neighborhood" or the bulletproof glass. Like everywhere else in this world there are all kinds of people, mostly good, there. Stuff happens everywhere. The zip code should not be an automatic indictment of the establishment. This place ROCKS when you gotta get your donut on!

This place by far has the best glazed donuts in K.C. The donuts have a slight crunch like every perfect glazed should, they have a nice pillowy fuff, and they have the right amont of sweetness without being too sweet. If you are a donut fanatic and want the best this city has to offer, this isbm definitely the place. They also have items like: burgers, catfish, chicken, and wings that are also very tasty.

O. M. G. THIS jewel right here!!! The location is of no consequence, meaning you would drive by and never notice it. It is a small shop with a BIG offering. I had the donut cheeseburger. I have been looking for one for YEARS but couldnt find one. The service was SUPER friendly. The lady taking our order was extremely patient as we kept adding and changing our order! And the prices, the prices are soooooooo reasonable. I will Definitely be returning here!!!

I visited Hitide for the first time today and had a lovely experience. The workers were incredibly…read morenice and even wished me a good day by my name on my way out (what a great memory)! The space is very bright and cute - great for a visit to read or doodle (I did a little doodling of the shop during my visit). They even have a little shop area with some super cute and unique KC gear. I had a hot hazelnut latte and it was just okay, the flavor was pretty bland in my opinion and it was automatically served in a to go cup which bums me out. I like to sit and enjoy my coffee right there and love a good hot mug, it's part of the visit experience to me. The cute shop and incredible staff made my visit itself great overall, but the coffee could be leveled up a bit. Nonetheless, I would visit again :)

So the place itself was very cool and I loved the decor and ambience! However, the wait was a lot…read morelonger than I normally experience grabbing a coffee. I do appreciate the good quality though and thankfully had some time to kill. It isn't a place I would go if I was in a rush, but it great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. There wasn't a line when I went in, but there were quite a bit of people seated around. I got an iced hazelnut oat latte that tasted great. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely bring my laptop and hang out.

We were in KC overnight on a road trip and were looking for local donuts. The trolley was very cute…read moreand our kids loved getting to eat in it. The donuts were good but we did not get to try the made to order mini donuts everyone raved about. We were there at little after 8:30 (open at 8) and there was only one employee who said it would be a while for minis as she had not yet started the dough. We also were interested in trying a special lion king 6 pack that they were advertising but were told it was made to order for next day pick up and we were leaving town. Overall very cute trolley with delicious standard donuts but if you want to try the made to order minis ORDER AHEAD (like a full day).

This was located in a once used trolley it looked like. The inside was very cool with a small…read moredisplay of the donuts. There were a few tables outside to sit at. The menu had standard donuts along with minis to choose from. The service was friendly. We opted for the squad pack ($18.99) which included fifteen minis. For some reason, only five flavors could be picked. They were made to order so it took around twenty minutes to come out fresh and hot. The flavors picked were birthday cake, French toast, s'mores, nutter butter, and peanut butter cup. They were of the cake variety. The texture for them was a little crunchier than I thought, but still okay. The warmness really made up for that. My favorite was the French toast as it had very an apparent flavor. The nutter butter was disappointing. The birthday cake was sweet, but not overly done while the s'mores had a nice marshmallow fluff. The peanut butter cup was alright with just enough peanut butter flavor. Will I go back? Meh.
