They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And while I will agree with that statement, sometimes, a healthy indulgence is just what you need to put you in the right frame of mind to start your day. So that's why I got up a bit earlier than usual and on my way into work stopped by Lamar's Donuts on the corner of 6th Ave. and Kalamath in Denver. I picked up an assorted dozen, (for the morning crew, too, as I am not that indulgent) and I can honestly say that Lamar's deserves its reputation as one of the finest donut shops in the Metro area. The counter staff was very friendly, helped me in choosing a variety that would please just about everyone, (so next time I won't forget the jelly filled, I promise) and they were a perfect way to start the day. Every once in a while, you just have to enjoy a walk on the wild side. And one way to do this is enjoy a small indulgence that just makes the day a little more tolerable. And that tolerance comes in a box with some of the best donuts in Denver. Lamar's Donuts on the corner of Kalamath and 6th Ave. in...
Read moreWe were intentional about visiting this donut shop today! We actually walked through the city for their donuts - a 35-minute trek. All for sub-par service. From the moment we walked in, we didn't feel at all welcome, or that those serving us we were thankful we came. I asked the gentleman who helped us about the rewards card sitting on the counter - he didn't offer any information or even explain how the reward points worked. It was clear he didn't want us to return. Secondarily, I asked the young lady for a bag for our leftover donuts. She put the bag on the counter and walked away - oh wow. Clearly we were not welcomed.
That's super unfortunate because the donuts were delicious. And, that doesn't matter because we will not return. I wasted my morning, and over 8000 steps. I could have just gone to Voodoo - where the service is always amazing!
Reminder. if the owner or manager reads this review: your customers are your greatest asset. They help to pay your bills! Do your best to treat them...
Read moreI haven't had donuts in so long, but when I stopped by here the other week to buy my co-worker some donuts for their birthday, I was reminded of how great this place is. The guy at the counter was extremely patient and helpful and I went here because I knew that they would taste delicious. They didn't last more than an hour once I make it into work. (a dozen donuts for seven people).
These donuts are (in my opinion) the best in town! You should definitely dry their old fashion donut! It is amazing, but honestly they all are. The blueberry cake, the sprinkled, the pumpkin spice, and the fritters ... all good stuff. I don't treat myself (or my co-workers) to cake for breakfast very often, but when I do I want to make sure I am going to enjoy this once in a blue moon treat to the fullest. That's why I always like to get my donuts from here. Any time of day, these donuts are always tasty and fresh. Also, since I'm sure this is seasonal - you should try the pumpkin spice donut dipped in coffee ......
