I was visiting family in Kansas City area and we wanted to pickup some donuts. This place wasn't too far and had good reviews. Its located in a small strip mall and the sign just says Donuts- not Fresh Donuts. This place seems more family owned versus a chain- it sticks to classics. I really like how you can pick your filling and they do it right in front of you. It looked like they had strawberry jam, lemon and frosting- not sure if that changes. We got a random assortment- jelly filled, frosted filled, chocolate sprinkle cake, vanilla sprinkle yeast, 2 chocolate long johns and a glazed yeast. They were all really fresh and good- the service inside was also really friendly. I would absolutely go back! Overall experience 4.5/5

Yep, not just hype...best donuts North of the River. Contact with employees is short & limited so if you have a beef with any of them I suspect you have issues. Only negative I see is when you ring up the order there is a mandatory screen for a tip. A tip for what? You handed me a donut.

Amazing service, so friendly. An amazing old fashioned donut shop. You get choose your filling and they fill your donut right In front of you. Probably the best donuts I've ever had!!

We only live about a mile away, but first time coming here and wow it did NOT disappoint. The donuts were so light and airy and so delicious. Would wake up early on the weekends to come here every weekend!

I first saw this donut shop online thanks to Yelp saying it rated the best in all of Missouri and I was not disappointed one bit. The donuts here were a bit different from what I expected but I guess that is what makes it better than the rest of the state. The nice lady at the counter, Fulesia, was so kind I felt like I was seeing long lost family! I even asked her what makes their donuts so special and she told me it was that they were made with love. I did not believe her at first but when I tried my first bite of the donut, I knew that was the only answer that made sense. I will have to bring some of my people around so they can see for themselves!!

This donut shop is a real local gem. They have a wide selection of donuts and breakfast sandwiches. My favorite thing in the menu is the CRONUT!! A mix between a glazed donut and a croissant, it is heaven. The cronut holes are also to die for. They do sometimes run out of these later in the morning, so go as early as you can to get the cronut treats! I see people rave about the apple fritters, but I actually don't care for them here. Too thin and too much cinnamon for my taste. Everything else I've loved from the long johns to cake donuts. There are also many drinks available here. Staff is friendly and service is quick.

The best apple fritters around! They actually have real APPLES in them! And it's not just a few hear and there. They fill the fritter up with them! Always our favorite donut shop in KC!!

I love supporting local Kansas City restaurants, especially when they're only six miles away. This morning I made my first trip to Fresh Donuts to see why it has almost a perfect rating on Yelp. I also wanted to know why the line snakes out the front door. Given it was Father's Day and a Sunday there were 10 customers outside in line and maybe five inside. The line took maybe five minutes and then it was my turn. The place just smells yummy when you walk in. My wife loves Apple Fritters and the last two were sold to the person in front of me. So I bought some classic Glazes and cake donuts with Strawberry frosting. Our call - super fresh, great flavor and texture. It's waiting line worthy! We've wanted a new local donut shop to replace the long-gone one in a drive-up location near the QT by Zona Rosa. And now we've found it!

I haven't found a donut shop worth getting fat for since moving away (3yrs ago) from Fluffy Fresh in Mission, Kansas...until Fresh Donuts was introduced to our morning taste buds recently. Hello my new friend :) Clean corner shop right off of Barry Rd. Plenty of workers inside working the lines. Yes, lines, but worth the wait, cause it moves quickly. The Red Velvet Cake Donut was made from heaven! Moist and delicious with a light, crunchy glaze on the outside. The rest of the family devours the Long John's, Cronuts, Jelly's and more. Not a complaint one, just crumbs. A bit more pricey than I was used to donuts costing, but guess that can be said about all things now. Considering the quality, I don't mind so much the price.

I scored on another hidden gem! Hands down the BEST doughnuts I've ever had! Very cute and clean inside, I haven't came across freshly made doughnuts that literally melts in your mouth with every bite! They have all types of assortments to choose from; cake, yeast donuts, pastries, breakfast sandwiches you name it. I was greeted immediately when I walked in, the lady helping me answer all the questions I had. I ended up buying a dozen of donuts due to all the different options. Lol. The red velvet and strawberry shortcake were my favorite. The glaze were a 10/10, and per my coworkers the chocolate covered donuts with sprinkles were a 10/10 as well. They are only open 5am-1pm so go while supplies last! I'm definitely coming here every chance I get!
