Old faithful. After spending 4 hrs at Children's Mercy Emergency waiting room it was so nice to be able to stop at 2 am on my way back to Topeka and grab a couple of their FAMOUS cream cheese danish to satisfy my hungry belly. Just as good as the first one I ever had more than 10 years ago! read more

bad service lady was rude. dismissive. got out of bed drove over only had two donuts. why advertise 24/7 when your not!! lame read more

5 stars for simple reasons - they're open 24/7 so midnight cravings are solved, and they have a cream cheese donut that I haven't been able to find a replica of anywhere else. Absolutely fantastic. Well worth the value. Their other donut options taste great too. Whenever I'm in Lawrence I always make a stop. Counter service, and there's some tables with seating inside. I sometimes see people hanging out here or studying at night. read more

So many delicious baked items to choose from at reasonable prices. You can pick from cookies to donuts to cupcakes and more.

The bakery items were delicious I live in Topeka and I feel they beat all the bakery places here and I especially like that you can go there anytime and grab any kind of pastry or donut since they are open 24 hours -Munchers is the BEST!!!! read more

The service was so nice and they gave me time to look at the pastry's and it all tased so delicious I definitely recommend

Munchers is always consistent- you can get your favorites and know they'll be made to perfection. Always recommend a cream cheese donut and a fried cinnamon roll. Their baked goods are great too. The atmosphere is very old school donut shop. It's like stepping back in time. You can stay as long as you want and staff are always kind and friendly. read more

Always great mini cinnamon rolls at any time of the day or night fresh and light always have to pick some up when I'm that way!

Man, who didn't pay the fruit filling guy? I remember when I was a young, strapping Jayhawk, I'd go in here at 1 in the A.M. and I'd have a strudel and a fritter, and would be DELIGHTED to nearly eat a full apple in the process with as much as the saints of old decided to inject into these wonderful concoctions. Boy, have times changed! This was little more than sugar caked on sugar, with 3 pieces of apple per near $2 item. Has inflation hit that hard? Listen, let me know if you need apples; I got a guy, I can get as many apples as you can carry. Good deal too, just let me know. This got me wondering if the wonder years of collegiate yore are more imaginative than I let on to myself. I remember the excitement of KU, and the donuts to follow. I make it a point anytime I'm grazing the myelin sheath of Lawrence, I do right by my past to head 3 miles from any direction to acquire a box of heart attack memory from my alma donut mater. I think I'll give us some space. We need it. My heart needs it after that sugar explosion. Subtly in food is desired. Quit paying the sugar guy, and start paying the apple guy again. Like I said, I'll get ol' Johnny Appleseed to swing by, just let me know. read more

Got a Big Cookie, dont know how to explain it but it tasted like Chinese food, it wasn't gross perse but it wasn't exactly the taste i was going for. Also had a sticky bun with nuts on it, it was pretty solid. And a brownie, didn't realize it had icing on it, that's on me, also pretty solid. Probably on the higher end of a three star read more

Donuts and pastries are always great, highly recommend! Plus it's open 24/7, how could you beat that?! read more

Munchers Bakery - Donuts - Bakeries Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

We had Munchers as the dessert option for our October 2024 wedding. It was easy to place the larger order in-store & coordinate having our planner pick them up her way to the venue. The doughnuts were absolutely delicious and all of our guests raved about them! Munchers always has been and will continue to be the best. You just can't beat the cream cheese & strawberry cream cheese doughnuts. read more

When I first came to the area, I was told that I needed to visit Munchers to get some donuts. Well, in fact it was the first thing we "had to do" after a late night out. We had to visit this hole in the wall donut place off Iowa and 9th st... I was dubious. And in fact the place looks like it hasn't been updated since the 90s. There were a lot of empty racks where donuts had been earlier in the day, and the guy working the counter looked impatient that we stumbled in at 1am or whatever time it was. He curtly answered our questions and efficiently moved around to get the pastries we wanted, and we were out of there so fast I thought we might run into ourselves coming in! Gotta say... the pastries were good. I learned that basically you pick whatever is available, unless you get there in the morning when everything is available! And it has started a whole thing with us. Anytime we are in Lawrence (literally anytime, 24x7) and get a sugar craving, we dart over there. Once (1 time), it was closed for some family emergency. But pretty much a 24x7 place to get your donut and pastry fix. read more

My husband and I have this weird thing were we crave doughnuts at strange times of the day or night. And NO it is not for the reason you maybe thinking. We just really like baked goods. We were visiting our daughter at KU, and mentioned we wished there was some place with a 24hr doughnut shop. She said we have a place! And recommended Munchers. From what I understand it is a Lawrence staple and very popular with the KU students. They are located in a strip mall across from a bowling alley. The shop has almost a homey feel. And the lady who served us was very sweet and helpful. They have a good selection of doughnuts, cakes, cookies and other pastries. The prices are reasonable. The doughnuts have a good rise and are light and fluffy. The only downside, per my husband, is they did not have crullers (his favorite). But he was pleased with the cinnamon rolls (his 2nd fave) and cinnamon doughnuts. My daughter likes the cream cheese doughnuts. My favorite out of this trip was the strawberry knot. We will be returning next time we are in Lawrence. read more

Do not eat at munchers, unless you want to be addicted to their pastries, cookies and cakes. WOW! Kinda scared that I found this place. The goodies are as beautiful as they are delicious and this place is open 24 hours a day. That could be really DANGEROUS for your waistline. The counter service is quick & efficient, and the prices are great! Highly recommended. read more

Great little pastry shop. The selection was small, but the taste made up for it. I had a chocolate frosted doughnut and the strawberry and cream danish. Both were excellent. The service was polite and fast. Cute location with ample in door seating. read more

3.5 stars! On one hand I love that you can go there any time of the night, as a college kid it's a nice place to have a late night study break. The donuts here are great too. However, half the time I go they never have any donuts left. I know a lot of it depends on when you get there, but it would be nice if they had more options in the middle of the day. Also, there's been multiple times I've come here and waited at the register for a couple minutes before someone comes up. Honestly more worth it for me to go across the street to the Quik Trip and get donuts there, although munchers is more fun to hang out at. read more

This was definitely a grandmother/ bakery. I loved the prices as well as the yummy treats. I loved the sticky buns.

Visited Munchers Bakery after seeking donuts at Lawrence's Farmers Market on 7/13/24. Munchers was fully stocked in the morning around 8:00AM. Tried the cream cheese rolls based on the Yelp comments, as well as the strawberry cream cheese rolls. The rolls are filled with simple vanilla cream cheese mixture. They ice the rolls with a super sweet glaze; vanilla or strawberry. In our opinion, the glaze was too sweet. We also had apple fritters, orange danish rolls and cinnamon rolls. They looked great, but I didn't get to taste any of them. To top off the dozen pastries, I had a simple glazed, yeast donut as they are very telling of the other items. The glazed donut wasn't very good. Not light or airy and it didn't have much flavor. read more

It was 9pm on a Thursday night and we were craving donuts!! Specifically a glazed twisty and a chocolate covered donut. Nothing special, just the basics! We found Munchers Bakery opened 24 hours and so we called first to make sure. We got there and they weren't too busy. They still had a good variety to select from. They weren't fresh, of course because it's late. However, we were satisfied. Inside looked clean and in place. Overall experience was great! Most likely will be back! read more

good pastries, BUT...bald guy with beard had no patience and seemed annoyed to be there. he was not helpful and kinda rude.

We were recently in Lawrence for a college visit and decided to try Munchers Bakery. It was late afternoon and not at all busy - 2 people were sitting at a table and no one was in line. There were quite a few items available, so lack of selection isn't the reason for my poor review. To say the gentleman at the counter taking our order was rude would be an understatement. He was unwelcoming, hateful, and barely spoke. It was uncomfortable enough that we almost turned around and walked out but didn't (probably should have!) The donuts and cupcakes were mediocre. The staff member we encountered would have ruined the experience matter how great the product was. read more

Beat cinnamon rolls in town. Only place to get mini cinnamon rolls too. A must visit in LFK

Overall this place is good but every time the bald dude is working there ARE NEVER ANY DONUTS, the shelves are literally bare. For it to be 24 hours and your shelves are bare at 7:30, and nothing else is being made then he doesn't even want to help you, I only say this because he doesn't make eye contact, and of there is a period where donuts don't get made JUST SAY THAT! I work in retail and i know sometimes things happen that they aren't prepared for but not every encounter with the one employee should this be the thing, and i travel to get some donuts and yes thats my choice but at the end of the day if you don't like ya job quit, because when the ladies are there they are kind and on point EVER TIME!! No matter what time of day it is. read more

After living in Lawrence more than 3 years, and living next to The Merc Co+op it would be a shame if I didn't try this Bakery. I heard all this commotion about these infamous "strawberry cream cheese" donuts. Although I wanted to be a rebel and get the regular cream cheese donut, but I'm so glad I didn't! Believe the hype over the strawberry cream cheese donut!!! I honestly thought it would be too sweet and overpowering but the filling is light and has just the right amount. The original glazed donut was regular, but aren't they all? The apple fritter isn't what I'm used to, but everyone has their way of making recipes their own. I read other reviews about the cleanliness or how they should remodel, but I personally like the 70s vibe I get from here. It's amazing they stay open 24/7, and even more ironic their business name is Munchers. I'll be stopping by more often when I get the munchies or a craving for something sweet. read more

Munchers is one of the things in Lawrence that defines the town for me. Any time I'm in the neighborhood I have to swing by for a cream cheese donut fix. Often chocolate croissants and cinnamon rolls get added to my order too. I'm more of a walkin customer who carries his purchases out in a paper bag, but they make some amazing looking cakes and and can handle large orders if your the bakery boxes type of buyer. read more

Great donuts for a great price. Cream cheese donut is the best donut in Lawrence(2.20), and for half the price of any of Taylors donuts prices. Apple strudel is huge and creamy filling (1.22$), and their orange mini cinnamon rolls(.80) are divine. read more

My favorite place to get donuts in the greater Kansas City area! I will make a trip out to Lawrence just for these donuts. Cream cheese donuts are their specialty and a must-try! The strawberry cream cheese donut is my go-to every time. The plain cream cheese donut is great as well and tastes like a toaster strudel. Their plain glazed is decent, but if you're making the trip out, I recommend going with a specialty donut instead. While I definitely prefer some of their donuts over others (blueberry , you really can't go wrong here. They used to be open 24/7 before COVID. They may have reduced their hours during this time, but I know they still have much longer hours than most donut shops. If you haven't tried Munchers, you're missing out! read more

At the outset of the current Coronavirus pandemic, panic set in across Lawrence as the citizens here and from surrounding communities were faced with the worst possible scenario: we would be without Munchers cream cheese filled donuts until they re-opened. People started frequenting their Facebook page, even causing them to remark that the shutdown had created the biggest ever increase in Likes. And finally, when it was announced they'd re-open for carry-out, we collectively breathed a sigh of relief. Shortly thereafter I entered, and there they were, and I swear their was a glowing light around them in the case, and angels were singing. Or was that the Muzak? The horrible suffering ended, we sank our teeth into one and all was right. As I said in my 2013 review, everything you ever had here, it's still in the same place in the same case for display, just like it was when I walked in the door for the first time in 1983. They taste the same, they look the same, the place is frozen in time, and it gets no better than this. I wonder how many hundreds of employees have worked here since I first entered, and yet, nothing ever changes. Whoever is responsible for this, and the cream cheese filled donuts, genius. That, my friends, is what makes this place special. So at 8:30 on a Monday evening and couple of orange minis in my stomach, the cream cheese filled donuts await morning with a fresh cup of world class black coffee. Awaking to these treats during this crisis, that's the best revenge for what we must endure. read more

Our go-to for donuts! I say donuts, but they have it all! From cinnamon rolls to danish and all kinds of variations of sweet rolls. Everything tastes fantastic. The service is super fast, even when there's a line, and they're always friendly. read more

I have never been to a bakery this good for this cheap. We went around 10:30 am on a Sunday. The place was pretty full and for good reason. We got a snickerdoodle cookie, a mini orange roll, an apple fritter, and a strawberry cream cheese donut. The total was under $4! For some reason, the apple fritter has become the measuring stick with which I will gauge a bakery's ability. Their apple fritter lacked the usual apple chunks present in most cases. But, it was still quite good. I will absolutely go back whenever I'm in the mood for a very cheap, very fast pastry. read more

Classic. The cream cheese donuts are so damn good. Only "complaint" would be that I wish they had better coffee.

The cream cheese donuts are fabulous! To die for! However, the bald headed gentleman that works there is flat out rude. He is never friendly and doesn't need to work with people. read more

Munchers Bakery - the front of the building - Bakeries Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

This place is so nostalgic for me because I graduated from KU and went here a lot as a student. I just went back this past weekend while on a weekend trip to Lawrence and was so happy to find it was still the same great munchers I know and love! Best doughnuts in my opinion? Cream cheese, blueberry fritter, strawberry knot, and their cream cheese danish. Thanks for having me back and please don't ever change! :) read more

#nationaldonutday and we grabbed some yesterday and couldn't help trying them before today when we headed out of town. This little shop is tucked into a small plaza. The lady who welcomed me let me know they were cleaning one case, but had all those to choose from too. I picked three for the hubby-apple fritter, apple streusel, and chocolate glazed. I picked a long john and strawberry cream-cheese. I also got two HUGE chocolate chip cookies for our drive to our next stop today. Couldn't resist the long john after lunch yesterday and was mildly disappointed it was not cream filled, but the maple icing was great and the donut was light and fluffy. Hubby ate the chocolate glazed and enjoyed it. Saved the others for today and that strawberry cream cheese donut was legit amazing. It had a strawberry glaze and tucked inside was a strawberry cream cheese filling. The donut was almost crescent roll like, but heavier with some layers of goodness. Saved my cookie for an afternoon pick me up. Is it shareable? Yes. Did I share? No. I bought my hubby his own. Lol. The cookie hit the spot. Great texture-not too hard and not too soft with perfect amount of chocolate chips. read more

Strawberry cream cheese donut is the best donut in the state. Old school family business, friendly and fast.

I get why this place is popular in a college town. 24/7 donut shop with coffee and wifi. I'm thrilled about the hours, the service was great. The guy behind the counter was kind and fast. The donuts them selves were pretty good, but they were just covered in sugary glaze. Again, I would have loved this as a college student, as an adult, not as much. I would say there was a tiny bit of strawberry flavor in the twist and no apple at all in the fritter. It was mostly cinnamon. I was really bummed about that. I love a craggy gooey apple fritter. The chocolate cheesecake tasted good, but had lumps of cream cheese in it that were unmixed. A little bit more homemade than I was looking for in a bakery. read more
