We love Ray's Donuts and are here nearly every Sunday. Friendly service, delicious donuts, they sponsor our elementary school and when I ask for two donut holes I almost always end up with five - who could ask for more than that?! read more

Great donuts but very rude customer service which isn't good. I see that many others have stated the same! In order to get a good selection go EARLY. Some of the donuts to be found. read more

I live less than 10 minutes from a Krispy Kreme but I'd rather drive 20 mins to get donuts from Ray's. It's an unassuming place in a strip mall between a car dealer and an Office Max but the donuts are incredible. Great selection of thick, dense, decadent donuts with a variety of flavors and great prices. The regular donuts are always fresh, and I also love the huge fritters, turnovers, and bear claws. read more

Simply the best glazed and long johns in KC, try the lemon cake and German chocolate. The cherry bow tie is outrageous, the finest pastry I know! read more

I've been going to Rays Donuts for yrs. Nothing beats their Bavarian cream filling!! Best in kc hands down!

Ray's is still a good little donut shop but I sure wish the staff would SMILE and act like they are happy you are there. To buy donuts. And spend money. :) read more

I won't be coming back here. I haven't even tasted the donuts yet but the "why are you in my store" attitude & exasperated sighs coming from the woman getting my donuts... Not worth a return visit. read more

Ray's has wonderful donuts that are in high demand! You have to get there very early to get the ones you want. It seems a bit pricey, but I guess it's worth it for the quality. One thing that I can't understand is how unpleasant the older woman is who is usually working. She never smiles, never even really looks at you. She seems perfectly miserable to be there. There is usually a big sigh and shrug when you ask for a donut. God forbid you ask a question! I know this is a family business, so perhaps that explains why she is always there -- she's probably a family member. Whatever it is, I guarantee that they lose some business because of the sour attitude. It does keep me from recommending it higher. One more thing -- watch as they ring you up. I've been overcharged a couple of times. I don't think it's intentional. read more

I was very thrilled when I walked in and saw all the variety of donuts they had to offer. I got a Oreo cookie donut and glazed donut holes. When I looked around to find a spot to sit down they had a lot of tables to choose from. Both of the donuts where very good and filling. The place was clean and the costumer service was great. It was a very good place for donuts and I will be returning soon! read more

Amazingly delicious donuts! Fresh, fluffy, delicious frosting, great variety! My donuts didn't even make it home - I tried a taste when I got back to the car and they were too good to stop. read more

Ray's has some of the best donuts in KC, if you prefer yeast-raised to cake (I do, and this place is my favorite). They've always been fresh and delicious whenever I've gotten them. All of the bases are covered with the classic flavors you'd expect, and then some. The cinnamon braids and some others are huge, and practically need their own boxes. read more

Was not impressed. I usually go to Donut King which has an awesome selection no matter what time you go. Also, I use a coupon at Donut King...look for it in the monthly value pack coupons that you usually throw away! A dozen donuts for just over $6. At Rays (10:30 Sat), it just wasn't worth the trip. Couldnt use the coupon I had for Rays which brought me in in the first place because they already had sold out of the item. Selection awful, over priced, good but not great donuts. Maybe I'll give them one more shot earlier in the morning based on others reviews but this was a joke. If your doing well and have good donuts, demand is there than you shouldn't have a crap selection last 3 hrs of the day. As others have posted, customer service was meh. read more

Great donuts and pastries. I've been going here off and on since they've opened and I've never been disappointed. I'm a big fan of their bearclaws and apple fritters, which are huge by the way. read more

Fresh, tons of choices but they sell out fast on the weekends so get there early. Lady behind the counter even shared donut holes with my toddler! read more

I am a self proclaimed donut aficionado who has eaten at "the best" donut shops all over the country, and let me tell you... these may actually be THE BEST donuts I've ever had. Please go here... you will not be disappointed. And contrary to some of the other reviews on here, the staff was very sweet and friendly. 12/10 read more

Best donuts in Kansas City hands down you can tell there donuts are fresh and not premade crap there donuts are amazing unlike that new place pikes place now that place has shitty donuts. GO RAY'S read more

Best donuts in the Northland. Quick, nonsense service just like East Coast donut shops. Love em!!!!

VERY good donuts! Always fresh and taste amazing! It's a small shop but great stuff! Get there early cause they sell out quick :)

Good selection of donuts. Good taste. We ordered 12 donut holes, a long john and a cake donut. Paid a little over $5. Taste is much better then a grocery store donut or dunkin donuts. But not something that makes me crave to go back. Nice and clean inside which is always an attractive point at a food service location. read more

They have the best plain cake and blueberry cake doughnuts I've found in town. Anything you order will be delicious. The staff is always pleasant and welcoming. I love going to get Saturday morning doughnuts from Rays! read more

Don't think you'd get a lot of sales when you close at 1pm EVERYDAY, but you do you. I'm cool with Hyvee donuts

They have awesome mini cinnamon rolls that are as small as donut holes! Just small enough that you don't feel guilty eating them.

Good donuts. They had big selection. The place was clean and service was good. I thought it was little more expensive then other places.

Love this place. Donuts are so good, fresh and reasonably priced!!! I love that it's family owned and ran.

Ya know, I rarely write reviews and try to understand that people have bad days. But every time I go in to this store, I'm greeted by one of two ladies, who are so obviously annoyed by having to serve me a donut. I also cannot believe how many times I have been in, at several different hours, and they're out of such a basic donut: chocolate long johns. How can you be out of such a popular donut all the time? You are a donut shop. This is what you do. Such a waste of time to go in there when on several occasions, their donut case will look empty when they still have 2-3 hours left until close. I also have gone here on a couple occasions when there has been a sign on the door saying they're closed because they ran out of donuts. Again, with 2-3 hours still left until their normal closing time. Seems like a poor way to run a business. read more

I have been a customer of Ray's Donuts for years. I have always found their donuts to been of the highest quality and extraordinarily delicious. Their customer service is friendly and more than helpful. I want to thank the owners and staff for the outstanding donuts and friendly service. read more

Lamar's is a Kansas city classic. I am not sure why. Many of my co-workers would rate it much higher than I do. I find the donuts to be of reasonable size, but they have, to me, a faintly bitter taste. read more

Great! pay no attention to the negative reviews about the employees. this is a donut shop. and the donuts are great.

Every town needs a donut shop. That's it. Nothing fancy. Just donuts. Picked up a dozen mixed donuts for work today. Wow. Great variety and fresh flavors. Mango. German chocolate. Red velvet. Even Oreo. Props for creativity and for sticking to the tried and true plain and old fashion donuts. Yummy. read more

After trying this place today, I skimmed through the reviews and I was struck by how different some of these reviews are. Maybe the selection is better on the weekends and there are different employees during those times, but I've seen a better selection of donuts at gas stations at 3am than what I saw today. And even then, I didn't really care. What truly irked me was the employee I met. Protip: customers can actually see the faces you make in reaction to their questions, and if you can't manage to curb your looks of utter disgust then maybe customer service isn't your thing. Even if these were the 'Best Donuts I'd Ever Eaten', they still wouldn't be worth having to interact with someone who can't at least PRETEND to be pleasant and looks like she just drank a pint of vinegar. And these donuts were just 'okay', they weren't anything to write home about. It left me asking myself why I didn't just get off 35 at Armour for Donut King instead. And I wouldn't have even bothered to log on to write a review if it wasn't for being treated like I was an inconvenience or something that needed to be scraped off of one's shoe. read more

3 donuts. LOADED Bavarian filled maple long john, lemon iced, and double chocolate. Delicious. Ladies working were very nice.

I called ahead to order 6 dozen holes. I was told "That's $12 worth of donuts." A co-worker was with me when I called. I walk in, wait behind 2 customers, owner starts my additional order of 18 donuts when a regular customer walks in behind me. Owner greets her, confirms what she wants, stops my order and fills hers. I ask her to finish mine first. She tells me "I have ears and can multi task, I'll fill it all at once." I said never mind, I'll just take the holes. She was quite snarky at my request to fill my order first. I said clearly the lady behind me is a regular and more important since you stopped my order and filled hers first. She said "I didn't do that." I'm not sure what she calls that then. I look at my receipt and realize I was charged $15, not $12. I said I was quoted $12. The owner said "I said it would be about $12." Ok, no you didn't, but as the owner, you don't know how much 6 dozen holes will be? Current and previous workers confirm if you are a regular she tries to be nice. If you aren't and you question anything, she is extremely rude and does not care about your patronage. read more

Very friendly and personable staff and the donuts are excellent! Came in for a large order for my office and everyone loved them. You can also call ahead of time and they will have them ready for you! read more

It was soooooooo bad. The donuts tasted like plain bread with icing on them. I got a glazed donut and it legitimately tastes like plain white bread and I also got a red velvet donut and it was so bad i couldn't finish it..... 10/10 do not recommend read more

Love this donut shop! Stopped in on a saturday morning, they were busy, which to me says, good donuts!! I was not disappointed, donuts were great, fresh, good selection. The staff was very friendly. Even grabbed a great cup of coffee! I will be visiting again! read more

One star is being generous, I went in and there was hardly any donuts at all and they looked like they were hard

absolutely with out a doubt the best ,most delicious donuts ever. if you're in town and close you must stop in have one of these donuts. chocolate cream filled long john's are the bomb. read more
