- Hometown Bakery - 215 N Main St., Wakeeney, Kansas

Hometown Bakery Facebook Next up is the Hometown Bakery where these buttermilk bars are my ultimate choice. Family owned bakeries really do taste the best.
- Varsity Donuts - 704 N Manhattan Ave., Manhattan, Kansas
Varsity Donuts Facebook
Varsity Donuts Facebook With donuts large and small, this bakery knows how to treat you right. Plus, they’re open all day! 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. is when I like my donuts, how about you?

Yos Donuts Facebook If you’ve never stopped in Shawnee before, it’s a great time to. Yos donuts is a family owned shop that makes all your favorites, with new flavors popping up at random for you to enjoy. I can’t wait!
- Renee’s Bakery - 2 N Washington Ave, Iola, Kansas
Bake My Day, Inc. DBA Renee’s Bakery Facebook
Bake My Day, Inc. DBA Renee’s Bakery Facebook Renee’s is a magical place that’s perfectly fine for donuts, but I wouldn’t leave without a raspberry cinnamon roll, if I were you. Grab a couple alongside your donut picks for an extra treat.
- Cornerstone Bakery & Jasper - 100 W Rutledge, Yates Center, Kansas
Cornerstone Bakery & Jaspers Facebook
Cornerstone Bakery & Jaspers Facebook Fresh made donuts are hard to pass up, and if they’re from Cornerstone, then it’s even harder. While you’re here, grab some homemade bread to go!
- Ike’s Donut Shop - 909 N Summit St., Arkansas City, Kansas
Google Maps
Casey Scott/Google Ike’s is a local classic, and probably the best place in town where you can grab donuts alongside plenty of locals in the morning. Don’t be afraid to park somewhere else and walk up, their service is quite fast.
- Dough Co. Donuts - 1228 E 4th Ave., Hutchinson, Kansas

Dough Co. Donuts Facebook This amazing little shop really knows what they’re doing with donuts. Their tiny little donut bites are my favorite, but iced with sprinkles are too pretty to pass up.
- Mitchell’s Bakery - 1110 Main St., Great Bend, Kansas

Ali Davis/Google Mitchell’s also makes a mean donut, but it’s the icing choices that make them extra great. Their regular glazed sell out really quick, so head early or plan to grab a different kind when you arrive.
- J&D’s Donuts & Deli - 406 Grand Ave., Plains, Kansas
J&D’s Donuts & Deli/Google
J&D’s Donuts & Deli/Google Kansas has plenty of Daylight Donuts outlets across the state, but J&D’s is really setting the bar for hometown donuts. It may be a chain, but the shop itself is family-run just like we love. Plus, you can also grab a sandwich from the deli while you’re here to cut all the sweetness!
