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

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 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

I was advised this was the place in Lawrence to get donuts for a client meeting. It's an old style, no frills place in a tired shopping center that veers away from Iowa Street. I first drove past Munchers before locating it. The inside was tired too, but fairly busy with customers. The woman who served me seemed tired at 8:30 and filled my order with disinterest. My dozen and a half donuts were stacked on top of each other in the box, meaning donuts had to be handled later to get to those was below. .Where newer bakeries try to outdo each other with inventive recipes Munchers offers dependable and familiar choices. read more

There's a reason this place is popular- it's probably the best donut place for hundreds of miles. Selection is vast, prices are low, and most importantly- the donuts have incredible flavor. The blueberry fritters are definitely my favorite. They also have other baked goods that look amazing- cakes, cookies, etc. It's worth a stop if you're anywhere near the KC metro. read more

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

I stopped in here on an afternoon and the line was quite long (about 15-20 minutes). There were a few huge orders at the front in a row and only one guy ringing people so that's not really their fault. I wasn't expecting such a rush either. Really, the focus should be the donuts. The donuts are perfectly sweet-- especially the sprinkles one! I love that I can have one (or two) and not feel sick like I do with most donuts in this world. Donuts are my #1 pregnancy craving and I normally regret indulging but I didn't here. The dough is also DELICIOUS; it's not just a delivery mechanism for the icing. The cream cheese donuts were really interesting-- I've never had anything like that before. All in all-- really awesome donuts and I would 100% come back to try other pastries or donuts even outside of my typical favorites. The atmosphere was shockingly drab for somewhere that sells delicious baked goodness. It was poorly lit and grey-ish? The employee looked stressed out and everything was pretty unorganized. The whole interior could do with a face lift. He was so busy he couldn't restock so they had a lot of donuts on the back racks that weren't displayed. That is always a bit sad because you don't know what you could be missing out on. The donuts & hours are good enough to get 4 stars from me but if they had a better interior/morale they could get 5! Still 100% worth the visit. read more

I've been a fan of Munchers for years! I can't believe I didn't find out about them until partway through my undergrad career. As a grad student and part-time Lawrence resident, I love to stop in for donuts. We opted for a strawberry cream cheese donut (one of their specialities!), double chocolate cake donuts, and a maple frosted cinnamon roll. All were delicious! I especially loved the filling of my cream cheese donut! Another favorite is the mini cinnamon rolls, which come is regular and orange. Muncher's also serves other desserts and pastries, like cookies, cupcakes, fritters, and brownies. The space is pretty open with lots of seating. My boyfriend and I had no problem finding seating when we were in today. Overall the space had quite a bit of crumbs and some trash on the floor, but nothing major. We also visited around noon on a Sunday, and they had plenty of donuts in the case! Bonus - they are open 24 hours a day! This is perfect for a late night sugar fix or study break. read more

These people can't do math. If you order more than one thing they seem to get flustered and angry at you for giving them business. Anytime I ask a question the response is always cold and as if I'm doing them a disservice for even entering their shop. I get overcharged regularly and literally everytime I've went there's items missing in the bag that I don't realize until I've already left. Their cream cheese donut is meh, I guess it's iNcREdiBle if this is the only bakery you've ever been to. Do better Munchers. read more

Nice place. Home feeling with the lights and wooden seats. Service is well. Someone's there at the cash register to help out. You tell them which donuts or cakes you want and they put it in a bag for you. Drinks also available. Milk, pepsi, etc. Variety of fresh donuts. read more

Every time I visit Lawrence I have to get a least a half dozen of these cream cheese donuts they are amazing and out of this world wish they would expand to olathe or even Kansas City read more

My first time at Munchers it smelt really good inside. The prices were cheap and the food there looked delicious. But there were some serious problems I experienced. First of all, my server seemed to serve me in a rushed and uncomfortable way. I didn't know all of what I wanted to order since there are so many choices to look at when at the front, but she asked if I wanted a bag or a box, but I had know idea what I would need because of what I formally mentioned. I saw a doughnut that I wanted and saw that the sign closest in front of it said Sugar Cake Doughnut, so I said that I wanted the sugar cake doughnut. The server reached for another doughnut on the opposite side of the one I wanted, so I had to point out and clarify to her which type of doughnut I wanted. Then she pulled out the one that I wanted and said that it was the actually the Blueberry doughnut. So that was frustrating how the labeling of the doughnuts on display were way off. And another problem, perhaps the biggest, was that when she grabbed the Blueberry doughnut for me, it was with her bare fingers! Yeah, she had a parchment paper sheet in her hand too but it was crumbled up and not really being used to grab the doughnut with. It was quite unappetizing to watch my food get handled in such an unsanitary way. Waste of money. read more

Wonderful selection of delicious specialty baked goods very fairly priced. Eclairs were so good

Best donuts ever! Love the variety & they are the bomb! Always friendly service & quick in and out!

I love the fact that this place is open 24 hours! The donuts are great! The Apple or blueberry fritters are so good. My husband loves the cream cheese donuts both varieties. Their small cake donuts are awesome and their pudding balls are rich! I do wish they served jelly donuts---that is the only thing missing. The service is 9 times out of 10 good! You definitely need to check your bag or watch them when they take your order because they sometimes give you the wrong thing! read more

Munchers Bakery - Strawberry cream cheese donut - Bakeries Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

The staff were kind and everything smelled and looked amazing! However, ALL of the donuts we bought were super dry. I was honestly so disappointed, I've been hearing a bunch of good stuff about them. I'm still giving 3 stars because it was late afternoon when we went, so maybe that was the reason? I'm not sure. I'd probably try them again, preferably in the early morning! read more

To me, a bakery touting doughnuts should first be judged on the deliciousness, or lack thereof, of their glaze doughnut. Munchers makes a quality glaze doughnut- though I was left neither blown away nor turned away, which is a good thing. Had I left this place based on thier glaze doughnut alone, I would have missed out on the almost numbing joy brought to me in the form of their strawberry cheesecake doughnut. Simply put, go to Munchers and eat one of these. You'll thank me... after thanking the bakery staff. Well done. read more

Excellent baked goods, but service sucks. Was in there tonight and orded about 45 dollars worth of baked goods. Asked clerk to read order back, and he refused. This would have earned him about a ten buck tip had he not been a jerk. As it was, no tip, and I almost just walked and left it there. The doughnuts were excellent, so I guess they think tjis entitles them to get away with crappy service. read more

Super Super Super Bakery! What more can I say?! Excellent selection of bakery products and friendly staff.

I love this place! Great selection of donuts and other bakery items. If your looking for a good donut that's not from a chain, this is your place! read more

My favorite snack/treat shop in Lawrence. Locally owned and everything is made with love!

These were, hands-down, the worst donuts I have ever had. Tough and tasteless. I selected a maple long john and a cake with chocolate icing. Took one bite of each and threw the rest away. The staff was extremely friendly, and the bakery was very clean and inviting, however. read more

I gotta say this cake was the most perfect tasting, looked beautiful, and was admired by all, exactly what I hoped it would be. Check, check and check. Thank you. It's been a while since purchasing a custom cake and I winced at the cost but was so worth it. I get it read more

Very strange way of serving it's customers. No greatings or checking if I am done with my order. The worst part is turning his back even before I said good night or tell of I want my receipt after the payment. Terrible business practices. read more

Cream cheese donuts. Yep. That was the promise a friend made to me that got me to go to a donut shop at a time I would never even think of wanting a donut. Given I am not from here, I have to say I was a little worried when we pulled into this non descript strip mall that Munchers is located in and and thought it was an odd place for a 24 hour donut shop. Where were all the people? I pulled open the door and a few people were studying or having coffee with a pastry. But there were no donuts. The cases had brownies, cupcakes and cinnamon rolls. There were muffins and other tasty treats, but no donuts, let alone the cream cheese ones I had been lured with. I asked the rather surly guy at the counter if they would be making more and he just shrugged his shoulders. Not very helpful. So I ordered a brownie, bought my friend a cupcake and we left. And while they do now take credit cards, I left my cash on the counter cuz the guy was shuffling off to help someone else. Cream cheese donuts? Sounds delicious. But I think if you want them, you need to be there in the morning cuz at night they are no where to be found! read more

Customer service was horrible AND i saw a cockroach run across the table. Definitely not the type of person to write a review but i'm not a fan of rude people. Cupcake tasted like a run over squirrel and the cream puff was disgusting. I would have not wrote this review but the guy at the counter was extremely rude. read more

I have recently had two negative experiences at Munchers. On both occasions, employees have been rude, the pastries and baked goods were either incorrect based on item description, or stale. read more

An old standby for Lawrence, KS. They have a great variety of donuts and danish, and are always good. I hadn't been here in a long time (haven't lived in Lawrence for over 14 years now) and needed some Sunday morning donuts. Picked up a few dozen for very reasonable price and they were all delicious. The mini cinnamon rolls disappeared like crack candy. read more

We love Munchers Bakery, food was awesome! Service was great and friendly. Love the atmosphere and smell of fresh baked donuts.

I've lived in Lawrence since late 2011 and I have had Munchers a dozen times, but I've never actually been to the store. That changed today! I went in a little before 7am. There were a few people in line too. Their donut selection is very classic! You won't find bacon topped donuts here. But the donuts they have are so well done! They are light, chewy, and so delicious! I got some strawberry cream cheese and chocolate iced donuts! For 5 donuts, it was $5 and change, which is very reasonable! The inside of this place is older and basic, but I think that's part of the charm! They do take credit cards now, so that's a relief! Overall, great experience! Highly recommend stopping in! read more

Underwhelmed. The glazed donut was not even remotely warm. In fact, it seemed stale. I much preferred the old Joe's donuts on 9th Street that always had hot, melt in your mouth fresh glazed donuts! read more

Can't miss. Excellent selection to take care of your cravings. Highly recommend. Bought 30 dozen for an event. Nice to work with. Recommend.

This was a regular pit stop at 2:00am for me when I lived in Lawrence in the early '90s. I was so surprised to see it still there and looking pretty much the same as I left it 20+ years ago. The middle of the night stops were always great because we could get what ever was just coming out of the oven or fryer. Nothing better than a 30 second old glazed donut or apple fritter. On my visit today I picked up a huge chocolate chip cookie, a "KU" iced sugar cookie and a couple of mini cinnamon rolls. They lasted all the way back to KC, but now wish I had bought enough for the week! 4 stars for product and a bonus star for longevity and nostalgia! read more

Time to update and upgrade my rating again. To their eternal credit, Munchers seems to be responsive to community feedback. Soon after my previous review, they tightened up shop in a big way, and were reliably safety conscious with masks and food handling. Still the best donut source in town, hands down. A Lawrence treasure. read more

24/7 donuts? Heck YES. The fresh glazed donuts are delicious, especially at four in the morning when you are pulling an all-nighter. The coffee is nothing special, but the donuts are worth every penny! read more

I can't believe this place only has 7 reviews. After finding their cream cheese donut, I had a new all time favorite! The first two times I stopped in, they were out. However one Sunday morning, when the cream cheese love nuggets were still in rows, I was changed forever. Munchers, an ugly-named joint in an ugly strip mall off the beaten path. The place, with it's faded decor hasn't had a makeover...ever. All of this, it just makes the bakery a real bakery. Munchers is what it is. Go there now. It's always open. read more

Munchers Bakery - Muncher's famous Cream Cheese Donuts. - Bakeries Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Stay away from anything with a lot cinnamon. I had an apple fritter and it tasted like they slathered a pound of expired cinnamon in the fritter. So gross! It was chalky. I will never forget that cinnamon sludge. Blechhh. The other donuts are great. The service is soooooo slow. Make sure you wear your patient pants. read more

It is hard to believe that I have not reviewed Munchers Bakery. It's a Lawrence staple that just keeps improving over the years and my go-to for breakfast sweets. They remodeled last year and now accept credit cards, so you can always access their delicious fried donuts and pastries. This local gem has been around a long time, but still keeps cranking out delicious baked goods daily. Always open, always delicious (but best first thing in the morning when the donuts are still warm and the glaze has just set). My personal weakness is the cream cheese donut. A delicious fried pastry shell wrapped around a dense, sweet cream cheese filling. This fat bomb will keep you running all morning long, but don't stop there. They also make delicious fried cinnamon rolls, chocilare-filled croissants, blueberry and apple fritters, butterflies, twists, cake donuts, and mini rolls (in cinnamon and orange). Be the hero of the office in bring in a dozen or two. They also make cookies, cakes, cupcakes, and pudding balls. I've heard good things about these items as well, but whenever I visit I only have eyes for the breakfast pasteries. read more

You haven't had donuts until you've had a fresh, warm cream cheese donut from Munchers. It's a Lawrence staple - especially on parade day. I was so happy to find them open during Coronapocalype! read more

While in town for a college visit, we overheard someone on a bus talking about the cream cheese donuts here so we had to try them out. Ordered the cream cheese donuts and some cinnamon rolls. Of course they were delicious! What would you expect? Surprisingly, we liked the cinnamon rolls even better. We're going back in the morning to have some more! read more
