I moved out of town, but every time I come home, it's a MUST that I stop by Lamar's. I can't believe how expensive they have gotten. Their donuts never, ever disappoint. You can't go wrong with the original glazed and the devils food without the frosting. Service is really good, only downfall is, and I've seen this a couple times, the ladies taking the orders will also cash their customer out. They will take cash, and go back to handling food. We all know that's not sanitary. Please wash your hands every time after handling cash. It keeps everyone safe. read more

When I walked in I was hardly greeted, I picked my donuts, I was told my total and did I need my receipt, and he disappeared behind the countertop. Good donuts, not so good service. read more

Very solid. Our first time as we're not from the area. Service was very friendly and donuts were very moist. Just wished they'd offered a savory option like sausage rolls. We'd visit again though. read more

LaMars holds a special place in my heart and will forever be my favorite donut in Kansas City. The raspberry jelly filled is my go to. Paired with a chocolate milk and you have yourself the best treat in the entire world! The staff lately has been extra friendly and has brightened my day many times. read more

Lamars donuts is a classic for Kansas City. These are the best donuts I've ever had, and I've happy since I was little girl. These sweet treats are soft and perfectly baked, which makes it hard to stop eating lol. The woman who helped me was super sweet. I always recommend Lamars and I will forever be a customer. read more

Our baby's daycare introduced me to LaMar's. It was absolutely delicious! The man behind the counter was welcoming, helpful & boy is he quick. Actually thankful that they don't have a drive thru. I've missed the smell of an actual donut shop. One things for certain, LaMar's donuts aren't like the other donut shops. These donuts have another taste, smell and (some) weight to them! And, hell, they're massive too!! read more

LaMar's Donuts and Coffee - a box of doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

Amazing. Variety goes pretty fast though But so glad we have a store here. Get lots of variety that lasts and you will get more customers read more

The donuts here are pretty good! I once met Mr. Lamar and I asked him the secret to their delicious icing on the chocolate longjohns. He told me it was an incredible secret: they actually used real chocolate. Not imitation flavoring. A chocolate longjohns are still my favorite. You gotta go or they won't have any in stock. Also, $31 for eight donuts is a little steep. read more

Lamar's has the very best donuts in Lees Summit. Get there early for the best variety.

My favorite employee of three years is no longer with Lamar's. I can't help but feel a bit disappointed. He brought real value to the place and made people feel heard. It's frustrating to see someone with that much potential go. It feels different without him--quieter, less dynamic, in my opinion. At the end of the day, I do miss him around at lamar's, and I hope he finds a new better job where his strengths are ACTUALLY APPRECIATED. Also, I posted this on Google reviews, and they silenced me. Tell me everything I need to know about this company. Horrible! read more

This is the second time I've had a bad experience with this location. Today I payed for a dozen crueller donuts online, when I got home I looked in the box and there were only 8 donuts so I had to drive all the way back and asked why my card was charged almost $40 for a dozen (which is expensive for a dozen donuts) when I only received 8. The guy at the counter said that they ran out of the cruller donuts so they would refund me the difference. Why on earth would you guys not communicate that to me when I first came in to pick up the donuts? When I came in to pick them up, I should've been told that you guys ran out of the donuts and would either replace them with 4 other donuts or refunded my card. I will be keeping an eye on my account and making sure I get refunded for the 4 donuts I never received. I would not recommended this location. read more

Been going to this locations for years and having them fill a long john with the vanilla pudding today I stopped and the person behind the counter says they can cause they don't make the donuts there unfortunately they do and the employee was just too lazy to take care of a customer great donuts but bad customer service atleast today read more

Today the office wanted donuts I called and lady on phone said she wasn't sure if my order could be ready by time I got there. Well order was boxed and ready when I walked in the door. Thank you! read more

Delicious donuts but shockingly high prices. Almost $8 for a dozen glazed donut holes, ouch!!

They suck 425 for a long John then he would not let me pick out the one I wanted he picked it out for me.at that price I should be able to pick which one I wanted. $9.00 for 2 donuts that's my first and my last time giving them my business!!!! read more

Same guy is there everyday, at least every time I come, lucky for a business to find such a reliable employee. So many people don't want to wake up that early, let alone be cheery and kind every time, even when im indecisive. Hope he is treated like family. Hard to find someone who cares to show up. He definitely deserves appreciation. I messed that up before and lost a great employee. Comfortable salary, time off, benefits keep people around. Great to Teach the grandkids how to treat trusted employees so this local business will last another 100 years. Lamar's has huge influence on how to be a example of generational wealth in action. A community builder from the inside out, generous and mindful. He's worth it. That guy inspires me to keep on. Only swiftly spoke, got the feeling he's overworked, but he even had a good attitude about it. I guess everyone calls out every day. Which indicated that I should write this review. He seems to be running the place. Wonderful shop. Great donuts. Amazing employee. Cheering you on guy. Worth my time to write this even if only he sees it. If you ever need a job you have one. There's plenty to go around. So Blessed. LS read more

LaMar's Donuts and Coffee - Donuts Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

The man at the counter was very nice. I purchased 2 donuts and they were terrible. I haven't had one for about 15 years. I remember them being the best donuts ever. I'm not sure what happened. They had a very small selection too. They were really expensive too. I'm not sure what the return policy is on donuts, but I drove from Lee's Summit to Blue Springs to share with my mom, so I don't think that caused them to be stale. Very disappointing. read more

5 stars any day of the week. They have the best donuts I've ever had and the service is always amazing. The wait is usually long, but that's because so many people want their donuts. Must try read more

horrible donuts bought today. NOT FRESH at all. icing falling off donuts and HARD as a hockey puck!!! Managers special and 2 milks for over $40. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! read more

What has happened to the quality of Lamar's donuts in Lees Summit? They may need to borrow the baker from Blue Springs. Quality keeps going downhill and I notice the answer from the owner/manager is always canned so I am not even sure they are reading the problems people are running into. I don't mind paying more but expect good quality and polite service. read more

Lamar's is our go to for donuts. The last few times have been hit or miss, but this one was so disappointing! It started with the service. The young guy working was so nice and helpful to the person in front of me. The female working that helped me, not so much. She was rude to the guy working, then was no better to me. She missed one of the donuts I asked for (only had 4), then when I caught it at checkout, she acted put out. She then rang out 4 reg, 1 specialty. When I mentioned that was one too much, she tapped the screen and never spoke to me again, even after I said thank you and told her to have a good day. The donuts were good, but quality control was way off (sizes). We got the smallest Lamar's bar and glazed by far. Not a big deal, unless they are so much smaller than the rest! Price for what we got was not worth it. We will definitely be driving to another Lamar's moving forward, longer drive and all. read more

To start the donuts weren't terrible. They were actually better this time than the previous time I went to Lamars but what would stop me from coming here is the price. I paid $17 for four donuts basic donuts not anything fancy. I'll stick with Baxters. read more

Shout out to Lamar's! So good to see an old friend working there! They really blessed our small group with donuts as we were doing serve KC with Abundant Life! There's nothing like a Lamar's donut! Thank you so much!!! read more

What a bummer! When this location opened it was run by older ladies snd the product was a lot like the original Lamars We haven't been there for a very long while and when we stopped at 10:00 am Saturday everything looked noticeably different. All young people working and the donuts looked different. We got a cinnamon roll and a couple glazed. They were horrible! The icing was grainy and they were all wet like they were old. They had a different taste. Obviously the original crew took pride in the product. Will not be going back. read more

Lamar's has the best donuts anywhere. Just not *this* Lamar's. They taste like the frying oil has been in use for a month. And then they cram a dozen donuts into a box that clearly isn't meant to hold that many. Used to love this place. Not anymore. read more

I wanted to say something about my experience this morning at 6:15am. I guess I was not clear enough when I placed my order with the lady behind the counter and for that I do apologize. I was ordering two dozen donuts with holes and I guess I must have said two dozen donut holes, as she started to fill my order I noticed that she was grabbing donut holes and I told her that I wanted donuts with holes. Now I understand that working behind the counter can be frustrating, however the eye rolling and the way you talk to someone "so you want the donuts with holes!!" needs to be controlled. Her point was definitely made. I hope your day gets better and again I apologize for the way I placed my order. read more

i came back home to visit and I was so disappointed. Quality was not good for the price i paid.

The donuts are fine, but the prices are just ridiculous! $14+ a dozen for basic glazed or cake. I walked in this morning and asked for 2 dozen glazed and my total was $32. The employees are curt and always looked a bit disheveled. Between that and the prices, there are better donut shops around. read more

On a whim I tried LaMar's Donuts this morning. It's was so overpriced and underwhelming. I will not be going back. The staff were polite enough. The store was clean. There were plenty of donuts, even at around 10 am on a Monday. I had a chocolate Long John with white fluff. The fluff was sickening sweet. Basically cake icing, at least that's what it tasted like. The donut was super soft. That part I liked. The chocolate icing on top was OK. Nothing I haven't tried. It was a very long donut but still overpriced. The other donut I tried was the German Chocolate twist. This was just too much. The icing tasted like pineapple coconut icing. Again, the donut itself was soft. It was another large sized donut. I think I tried a few bites of each and discarded the rest. For $8 one would expect more out of two donuts. At least I know now. I probably would have been better off with a tried and true glazed or old fashioned. Even still, the prices are much too high. read more

Accidentally gave me a full dozen when I asked for 1/2 dozen. He said sorry but I gladly accepted

Taylor and his staff at this Lamar's location are an incredible team. We come to this location because of the people and leadership by example from Taylor. Friendly, kind and professional! read more

This particular Lamar's franchise location is not as good as the one in Blue Springs (State Route 7), and pales in comparison to the original downtown. Their selection and quality is consistently average, so you'll know what to expect each time you visit. Or perhaps they're simply trying to lull us into a false sense of security, and then one day they'll unveil unveil a brand new chocolate long john filled with ground beef. Safe bets include the standard glazed, lemon-filled, blueberry cake, and creme-filled long johns. Do NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES order the white fluff-filled long johns! Each one of those contains enough sugar to disintegrate every single diabetic who has ever lived. I don't know what "white fluff" is; I couldn't even find it on the periodic table. Perhaps it's the antagonist from the 1985 Hollywood blockbuster, "The Stuff." read more

Lamar's definitely has THE best doughnuts in town. They're not cloyingly sweet, greasy, or heavy. SOMEHOW. I need to learn the secret. My personal favorites are the ones with crushed M&Ms, cinnamon twists, and simple glazed. I've never met a Lamar's doughnut I didn't love! This is one of the places you have to try, and I'm shocked when locals haven't had a Lamar's experience. What are you waiting for?! read more

We were meeting with some folks and were responsible for breakfast so we decided to make a stop for donuts. I'm not a huge donut fan and my husband thinks that nothing compares to Round Rock Donuts back home, but it is what it is. We picked up 10 regular glazed, two chocolate glazed, one cherry iced with sprinkles and one chocolate iced with crushed M&M's on top. The total was just over $15. Holy cow that's expensive. I can't tell you the last time I paid over $1 per donut. Anyway, the chocolate glazed were for me and they weren't too bad (remember, I don't care much for donuts). The kiddo liked the sprinkles and M&M's. The line was out the door and they had quite a variety so while I'd give them 3 stars in general they get an extra star for obviously being a hit in the neighborhood. read more

Praise to The Lord for a great donut place in LS. If not for Lamar's, LS would be good-donut-less. My personal favorite is the old fashion donut (it may be called a sour cream donut... I can't remember). It has a firm texture and a sugary melt-in-your-mouth taste. The other donuts are all pretty good. My other favorite is the donut holes. They rock! The plain glazed donuts are OK but the cake donuts are better. read more

Very disappointed in Lamar's today. To make it easier on the gal I just said to give me 2 dozen assorted donuts, when I opened the box to put out the donuts I have the most aweful box of cake donuts, one glazed donut and one iced chocolate donut . They looked like leftovers from the day before. I thought by asking her to choose an assortment it would be faster but don't trust them unless you want a box of crappy cake donuts for $30. I could have gone to grocery store and bought 2 dozen cake donuts for $10.00. So disappointed and angry read more

I was mocked by the person waiting on me. She was given a chance to retract what she said and did not. I turned to leave without making a purchase and stopped to ask her her name and she proudly stated her name was Lora. read more
