LaMar's Donuts and Coffee — Restaurant in Lee's Summit

You ever take a bite of something so good you question if you're still on Earth, or if Saint Peter just fast-passed you into the pearly gates with a maple-glazed halo? That’s LaMar’s Donuts. Specifically, the apple fritter, which I firmly believe was handcrafted by a higher power wearing an apron that says “Kiss the Baker, there Divine.” You walk in and it’s like Willy Wonka grew up, got a mortgage, and opened a donut shop for adults who just wanna feel like kids again, kids with credit cards and zero restraint. Let’s talk about that apple fritter. Oh sweet, holy carbohydrate it’s not just a donut. It’s a lifestyle choice. You bite into it and time slows down. There are choirs. You hear faint whispers of your kindergarten teacher saying “good job” and "You got this champ" and suddenly you remember how to love again. And don't even get me started on the classic glazed. That thing slides down smoother than a compliment at a family reunion. You eat six and suddenly you’re contemplating writing a memoir about “The Year I Got Fat and Found love in a Donut Hole.” The staff? Amazing. Literal angels disguised as humans, handing out sugar pillows with a smile and the quiet understanding that you're not just buying donuts—you’re buying happiness, healing, and the strength to survive a PTA meeting. So yes, I walked in for one. I walked out with a box that made my car smell like cinnamon heaven had a bake sale. And if anyone asks? No regrets. Just glaze. Go to LaMar’s Donuts. Reclaim your joy. Rediscover your childhood. And for the love of all that is fried and frosted get the...

I wish I could give a rating less than one if I had that option then I would. I spent $25 for a dozen of glazed donuts and they are disgusting! They taste like they were cooked in old fish grease. They have a fishy taste and smell and they are a little hard like they are old. I'm used to Lamar donuts being soft and fluffy and fresh tasting. These donuts I got this morning are very low quality and below the standard that I expect from Lamar. I don't like paying all that money for trash! These donuts are definitely not worth $25. They aren't worth $.025. I will not be buying donuts from Lamar ever again because they have raised the prices and lowered the quality of their product. I could have went to Yummy Donut and spent the same that I spent here and got 2 dozen of assorted donuts including huge cinnamon rolls, long johns, and twist and theirs are a much better quality. They be hot and fresh and doesn't taste like fish grease. I came to Lamar's this morning because my Mom wanted to try them since we hadn't eaten them in a while because their prices are too high. I tell everyone I know to go to Yummy and not Lamar. I used to be a loyal customer of Lamar but...

I've come to this place for years - a childhood staple. Unfortunately that seems to be coming to an end. The past few times I've gone there, without fail, the glazed donuts - the most popular product - are clearly old. The icing is crackly instead of creamy, and the donut isn't as fluffy. I come around 8-9AM, months apart. If you're already selling old product 2-3 hours after you open, what are you even doing? You're doing us dirty with day old donuts, Lamars. Not to mention, the price of donuts is going up so it is no longer a small purchase I don't notice anymore. For someone like me who lives in Grandview, there is no convenient Lamars location either. It's at least a 40 minute round trip. I can no longer rationalize 40 minutes worth of driving just to get enough donuts for me (2), that end up being old, and more expensive than they used to be.

Lamars, get a location in the Grandview/Belton/Raymore area...
