This place has become a meeting-place standard in my monthly routine. The earlier in the day you…read morevisit, the busier they are- but if you wait, you won't get a curry croquette! The staff are friendly, efficient, and well versed in their products. Some of the furniture could use a refresh (some of the upholstered chairs are looking worn) but overall the decor is pleasant and the entire facility is clean, clean, clean! I often order a hot tea with a savory pastry, but if you're looking for something special, the Mont Blanc pastry and the pistachio matcha latte are very popular. On one recent visit, my friend ordered the apricot pastry, and I got an ube donut and a mushroom tart. So good! The cream under the apricot was so light and fluffy. The combination of long open hours, friendly staff, and very fresh pastries makes this shop an essential spot in west Lawrence.

Not sure if this is a fair review because I didn't actually go to the restaurant. I can't tell you…read moreif it was clean if their selection was great or their prices because my niece bought me a couple of donuts after hearing me say I would like a cookie or a doughnut and the Hotbox in Lawrence was no longer open. I gave the twist a three average because that's how they tasted. They weren't glazed twist, they were baked and sprinkled with sugar and maybe some cinnamon. They weren't "the donut" I was used to. They weren't too sweet, which was good, but they really didn't taste like a doughnut it was more like sweet bread.

As a fellow small business owner, I would never leave a bad review, nor do I have any reason to,…read morebut I do have a request, nay, a plea! I have only had the pleasure of tasting your delicious donuts twice before, years ago, and only because I was fortunate enough to have a type A friend that was able to wake up and arrive hours early to Lawrence Farmer's Market, and they were kind enough to want to share the fruits of their early morning crusade to obtain Rise donuts. There are tales told of people waking as early as 3 and 4am to get in line for these donuts at the market. I know not what magic you are baking into them to have us all under such a spell, but it's working. I have not been able to forget the delicious and unique flavors of those couple of donuts since. However, due to my natural biology and 10+ years working as a bartender, I simply struggle greatly to muster the strength to wake up early enough to stand in line for these incredible donuts. Funnily enough, through a very happy coincidence, I recently started seeing someone that lives in Overland Park quite near to your new physical location, actually. Some might say I sought him out for this very reason, but that's just conjecture. But you can imagine my excitement and the schemes I may have begun to develop to have this seemingly serendipitous opportunity work in my favor! Some attempts have been made, but unfortunately it has still been impossible to convince my partner to stand in line for me for these donuts, and I have really talked them up, but I fear until they get to taste for themselves, they won't truly believe they are worth the hype. (and to this person's credit, they did make an incredibly thoughtful attempt recently, after working an all night shift, to try to swing by on their way home that morning, but the line was too long and they were understandably too tired.) So I implore you. Please, what's a girl have to do to get these donuts? (other than wake up early against my will and wait in line lol) Truly, congratulations on your success and popularity, and of course you obviously and heroically wake up at some ungodly hour to create said master pieces, and I am just one extremely late and 'slow riser' but I really want some of your donuts! They're that good!

Based on reviews here and TikTok videos, we brought lawn chairs and arrived in line at 7am on a…read moreFriday, and that is what I'd recommend doing! We got six flavors to try and here's our ratings (refer to photo). Pandan Coconut - 10/10, our fav by a long shot!!!! Bavarian - 6.5/10, needed a bit more flavor but we loved the creaminess. Strawberry Rhubarb - 6/10 (I liked it more than my partner but he's not a big strawberry fan, worth trying for sure!!). Everything Donut - 7/10, a little in the salty side but fun to try for sure!! Classic Cinnamon - 7/10, light, fluffy and airy. Nutella - 4/10, the Nutella was super thick inside this so you have to strategically plan your bites so you're getting and even amount of donut to Nutella ratio, my first bite was like eating a big spoonful of peanut butter, obviously tasty tho Nutella is delish. We would definitely come back!! Getting two coconut next time though!

The Ice cream taste very rich, they have choices of waffle cones or cake cones, dish, sundaes, milks shakes, and malts. I don't think anybody could leave disappointed from this place.

They had prompt service. I like a place that has wifi. One thing I overheard was that they were already out of chocolate milk. Kind of sad for a place that could cater to lots of little kids.

Well, I really wanted some cookies. I started out going to Hot Box, but unfortunately they were…read moreclosed. So I looked up bakeries in the area and this one said it was open 24 seven so put it in my GPS and there I went. It was about 7pm. When I arrived. I was so disappointed because of the lack of selection in the display cases. The only things that looked edible were mini cupcakes and a cake. There was also the lack of greeting from the one dude, who looked like he didn't want to be there, behind the counter. There were two other parties that came in front of me and I didn't see him greet them either. AnyWho, there was not anything that looked good or fresh in the display cases, I asked him if this was all they had and he simply replied, Yes, they bake in the morning. Why is it open 24/7 when they only bake in the morning? I don't know if the others purchased anything, but I left empty handed. I refuse to pay for old cookies and pastries.

I loved the color they chose, the bright green really made them stand out amongst the 30 some odd trucks at the event. They drew a large crowd but turned customers around fast so the long line was served very quickly. I had the coconut cream brulee and it was amazing. I would highly recommend! I wish they were slightly cheaper as the portion size was relatively small and mine did not even appear to be torched so I believe they were able to make it ahead of time and then serve, which probably helps them serve customers more quickly and manage the large queue they served at the event. Enjoy!

The interior is pretty small but they do have some seating outside-front and back. The service was good. I ordered the House Gimlet: cucumber infused gin, rosemary, orange blossom, and lime. This drink was so refreshing. It's a great drink for spring and summer. I highly recommend this drink! My boyfriend tried the Fugue State: Old overholt rye, bigallet China-china, tiki bitters, Lambrusco, and orange peel. He liked it and said it was like an old fashioned. It wasn't too strong and was really sweet. They had lots of other good sounding cocktails. I'll definitely stop by in the future.

Not only did they deliver my missing icing, they gave me what must have been an apology box of cookies which contained 75% of the cookies that had already been ordered and previously delivered! Omg, whatever will I do with all of these extra treats!??? Honestly, tonight was a terrible evening outside of the insomnia cookie experience. If I'm ever in a cookie emergency again, I will be ordering from these folks, even if they have to send out two cars to complete my order.

I was fine with a regular vegan chocolate chunk for my second one, but somehow they were completely out of that. This was at 10 pm, 3 full hours before closing; I'm not sure what is 'insomnia' about that. The cherry on top was realizing that I ended up paying full price for half of a cookie (it literally looked like they had sliced it in half to serve another). As someone who has worked food service, I'm not sure how this was served in confidence (we also started closing at closing time, not half a shift before it).
