YUM YUM YUM! if you love cream filled donuts then this is your place to be!!! After learning about all the sourdough donut hype, watching viral reels on instagram and seeing those delicious donut photos, I had to try it out and today was the day!!! I arrived at 6.45 am and there were already around 60+ people waiting on a Friday morning .. crazy right.. I heard Saturdays are even worse lol. Finally got to enter the shop at 8.15 am and picked up 6 donuts. I think they rotate flavors often or have one new flavor every week, so the ones I got were Bavarian, Blood orange raspberry, Pandan coconut, Biscoff cream and Hot honey pimento cheese. Honestly after taking a bite from each one, the wait time, the hype, all those viral reels actually made soo much sense haha. The donuts are packed with cream but still feel so light and airy, almost feels like biting into a cloud cake. If I had to pick favorites then it would be the Spicy pimento cheese and the Bavarian. The bakery is open Fridays and Saturdays, Fridays starting at 8 AM and Saturdays from 9 AM and the donuts sell out by 10 am. I also heard the owner mention they might open Thursdays soon!!! Each donut is around $5 plus, and I didn't really mind paying that much because the quality is top notch. I even saw the owners chatting with people in line which was nice, they seemed pretty friendly. Loved the ambience inside the shop too, especially the huge white hanging lanterns and how clean and simple the space felt. Overall, these donuts are a hitttt. If you're planning to go early morning, try to get in line by 6:30 AM or at least by 7 AM. If you do end up after the store opens, just know the line gets really long and there's a chance you might miss out. Good Luck!

Classic Bavarian!

Slow Rise is totally worth the hype!! I find gas station, Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' Donuts type places to be GROSSLY inadequate in comparison to artisan craft donuts. Slow rise sourdough donuts are excellent in every way. They are definitely worth a visit! Family owned and run, I love supporting businesses like this one!

I really enjoyed the donuts and the fillings. They may have a small selection but they're delicious. The coffee from the tap I think is really cool and it has a really good taste. The line moved more quickly than I thought it would. You can probably get there at 9:30 and still have a good selection. It's also very nice inside. It'll be nice if it dies down a bit at some point, to sit in the couch and enjoy what was bought.

I think it's been at least two years since I first heard word of Slow Rise. The donuts are Instagram perfection - I honestly can't even dream up something more visually appealing to dig into in the donut category. Each time I'd see someone rave about them online I'd think oh maybe this will be the weekend I'll give them a try, but with two little kids and a busy life there just was never time on a Saturday or Sunday to head over to a pop up and wait 1-2 hours for a chance to purchase a donut. When I heard they were opening a brick and mortar in 2026 I perked up, when I heard it was in Overland Park, I was thinking this is my chance! When I heard the lines on the weekend were still often a one-two hour wait I again thought ugh, I'll have to wait a bit longer. Flash forward to today when they've decided to open on Fridays as well as Saturdays. In my mind it would be less busy because... Friday - people are working right? It'll be slower right? Oh you sweet child of summer. As I pulled up around 8am (when they open) the line was long - like maybe a block outside the door long, but you know, I was already here, so I decided when in Rome and got in line. It DID take about an hour from the time I exited my car until I returned with donuts and a coffee in hand. The line moves, and I saw the owner making the rounds asking how many donuts folks were purchasing so they made sure you didn't wait if they were going to run out (this is much appreciated!). When I got to the front of the line they still had all of the seasonal flavors, and I took home key lime, bavarian, and nutella flavored donuts. When you take a bite they are honestly great. These are indeed top tier donuts. They are light, airy, savory, and sweet. The fillings are good and compliment the sourdough well. The flavor of success at trying such a hot commodity helps too as you've EARNED your donut by the time you take a bite! 4/5 stars because I really wish after so many years of hype and now a brick and mortar that they'd consider moving to an online ordering system so that you don't have to actually physically stand in line. I do get the marketing and the hype and respect if that's the end game, but as a customer I don't think I'll return until the lines get more regulated or there is an online ordering option - it's a good donut but for the price ($5 per donut/ $4 plain donut) it's not really worth it for me except for maybe once a year or if I'm getting a treat for out of town guests. If I could plan ahead or order in advance I'd consider this spot for family get togethers and other weekend festivities.

The hype was truly worth it for Slow Rise Donuts!!!!! I knew that the line would be crazy but I did not expect to arrive an hour before opening on a random Friday with the line clear down to the Planet Fitness in the same strip. People had clearly done this before and brought their lawn chairs and games. About 15 minutes before opening, they counted the line and got ready to open. Once they opened, they had their system down and the line moved super fast! Not many people were sitting indoors but it was super cute and cozy in there. And the donuts were to die for - truly the best I've ever had. The cookie butter, blackberry jam and savory donuts were the best things I've ever had. When I can plan my morning accordingly next, I will absolutely be back.

Slow Rise just recently opened a brick & mortar in Overland Park and I am thrilled! As someone who used to occasionally travel to Lawrence, KS to grab some doughnuts from the farmer's market, it is so exciting for them to have their own shop! Right now, they are only open on Saturday mornings. They open at 9am but you will want to get there much earlier to hop in line so you can grab some doughnuts. They offer both sweet and savory filled sourdough doughnuts and their offerings change weekly so check out their social media a day or two before to see their menu! If Pandan Coconut or Everything Bagel are on the list, make sure to snag those! Due to demand, they do have a 12 doughnut limit. Their store has seating inside, coffee on tap, Slow Rise swag you can purchase, and such a friendly, welcoming staff. These doughnuts are worth the wait!

Well, I know people are frustrated with how long the lines are every morning they open... I think the owners do a great job of keeping the line moving and updating everybody via social media when they run out of donuts. I waited in a long line, but the line only took about 10 to 15 minutes. The staff was extremely friendly and the donuts were delicious! I think the donuts were 100% worth the weight and I am excited to go back! The ambience was cute inside with tables and chairs for people to sit at and also a cute cozy couch corner.

I've been following them on insta for years but have never felt like getting up and going out to get them until today. I arrived at 9:45ish on a Saturday to say the least. The line was big and it reminded me of my LA days! I've never shied from waiting in line for food. I don't judge the food by how long I have to wait for it. I was prepared to wait. About 15 minutes into my wait someone came down the line and asked everyone how many donuts we were each getting. I thought that was very smart of them. I was also prepared not to get all the ones I had came for but was pleasantly surprised. The guy in front of my took the last savory donut but I did manage to score all the rest of the flavors they had for the day. The location is modern and cute. There was a lot of indoor seating. Overall the donuts were all delicious. They are soft and very tasty. The filling doesn't over power the donut flavor. The sugar is fine and it will get all over your hands and shirt. The draft coffee is so good. The service was efficient and they were all very friendly. For those of you wondering I got in line at 9:48 and was out the door with my donuts at 10:06am.

Worth the wait. I happened to hear about slow rise from some friends living in Lawrence and never got the chance to visit the farmers market but when I heard they were opening a store right down the street from me, I knew I would finally be able to go! They have a seasonal menu and use fresh and seasonal ingredients. It's best to check their social media pages to see what their menu offering is; it's usually posted by Thursday. Expect a line. I arrived at 8:30, it was rainy and they don't open until 9, and there was a line all the way down by planet fitness with people having chairs and umbrellas for the wait. Since it's sourdough, once a flavor is gone, it's gone so if you go later, expect a smaller selection or even none at all. I got to try the strawberry matcha and Nutella and will be saving the salted miso caramel for tomorrow but from those two donuts, I'm madly impressed. They're fluffy and coated on the outside with a light dusting of sugar and a little dollop of the filling. Majority of the inside has filling so don't expect just a little in the middle. I was wary about the creamy matcha paired with a jelly-ish strawberry but it worked out. Mine had more matcha than strawberry but nonetheless it was so tasty and I wish I could've gotten more. Plenty of seating inside, options for coffee, and bathrooms! The staff was friendly and kept the line moving, and since it's family owned, you get to see the whole family work together which is super cool! If you're ready to experiment from your usual donut order, make some time into your morning to try a slow rise donut (it takes a whole week to prepare so it's made with love!)

I just HAVE to go and wait in that 40 minute line every time I'm in town! If you're obsessed with crumbl cookie flavor rotations, this is literally the same vibe if not better. The pandan coconut was my ALL TIME FAVORITE flavor I've tried so far. Even after a late night out on Friday. I will wake myself up to get in line by 7am Saturday morning so they don't run out by the time it's my turn

Whatever question you are asking yourself about Slow Rise, the answer is that it is worth it. It's worth it to wake up early. It's worth it to wait in a long line. And it's worth it for the price. I tried Slow Rise for the first time at a pop up in the northland. The flavors rotate, so there's always something new to try. When I made it to the front of the line, the owner was so nice and really took her time to provide great service. You can tell the love and care she puts into her product. The donuts themselves are out of this world. The ones I tried had either creme or jelly filling. The flavors are so balanced against the sourdough, not too sweet. The savory flavor really shocked me in the best way. I was able to slice these in half and keep them in an airtight container for a few days. The outside was a little sticky, but they were still delish. It's worth it!!

Strawberry, Biscoff, and coconut donuts
Cindy R.

Absolutely the best donuts. They aren't as sweet as typical donuts. So good and unique flavors. Best time to go is Friday mornings.

coffee, root beer, and s'mores

i've missed slow rise since they've left the lawrence farmers market and finally had the time to make it to OP for their donuts!! so worth it. i love the space and they make it incredibly quick and easy despite the line. i arrived an hour before they opened and had all the flavors to choose from!

Ask the Community - Slow Rise

I'm curious about the price. I love sweets and donuts?

Filled donuts are $5 and unfilled (plain) are $4 so approx $30 for a half dozen or $60 for a dozen. Hope that helps!

Every time I visit I think this place gets better. Donuts, bagels, coffee... the ham and cheese…read morecroissant is to die for. It's the kind of thing you dream about and that makes your mouth water to just think about. I wish I lived closer! Coffee is always fresh and hot and the guys in there are always so helpful in answering any questions and giving suggestions. Love this spot!

Blackhole bakery is worth the hype and worth showing up early for. They know what they're doing and…read morethey do it well. What appears to be a mom and pop bakery is actually a baker who has carefully done his research and brings himself up to date on the latest trends of flavor in the baking world. The vibes are amazing - I especially love the art piece on the wall he commissioned from a local artist. I saw the Instagram page with several posts explaining how he did each part. Everything was absolutely delicious (I am biased with the ham and gruyere cheese since that is a favorite combo of mine), the danish was delicious (I could tell maybe it uses veryberryosa - a recent trend in baking to be used as filling), and the same was probably on the cinnamon roll looking crossaint. Now the grand prize - the mochi donuts were spectacular. The flavors I got were raspberry almond (my #1 favorite I got twice), cereal (this was carefully curated and not too sweet like most cereal based baked goods), Irish coffee (didn't taste like coffee, gave it to a friend) and the mango black tea was also a slam dunk for me. The staff are incredibly friendly here which is a huge plus!
