Overland Park knows how to do sweet treats. And on a day like National Donut Day, skipping the sugar just feels wrong. So we rounded up eight spots that understand the assignment: crisp edges, soft centers, and flavors that go way beyond your basic glaze.
If you're a donut enthusiast, you might want to indulge in the latest trend: Mochi donuts made with rice flour. Originating from Hawaii, these donuts are quickly gaining popularity due to their unique shape and texture. Featuring a crispy coating and a soft, chewy inside, each bite offers a unique experience unlike traditional yeast or cake donuts. Mochinut has quickly become the prime destination for these irresistible treats along with Korean hot dogs, bubble tea, and soft serve ice cream.
Have you ever tried a sweet corn cream donut? If not, you're missing out! Tous les Jours, a neighborhood bakery specializing in French-Asian inspired baked goods, believes that the best way to ensure the quality and freshness of their products is to make them from scratch every day using only the finest ingredients. Their diverse array of pastries, breads, and donuts presents customers with a distinctive pastry experience. Our top picks are their sweet rice donut, red bean donut and sesame donut!
Aurora Cafe & Bakery has gone viral for its Crème Brûlée Conchita, a dreamy fusion of a fluffy Mexican concha and caramelized French crème brûlée. Filled with vanilla bean pastry cream and topped with a crackly sugar shell, this limited-quantity treat is a must-try in Overland Park. Get there early or order ahead, because this pastry sells out fast.
A Kansas City staple, McLain's Market has been serving up pastries in the metro since it's flagship bakery opened in 1945!

Stop by for the yummy treats, and stay for the charming pink interiors.
You can't go wrong with a box of Daylight Donuts! Freshly made every day, these mouthwatering treats guarantee a delicious delight in every bite.

It's a time-honored classic that's captured our hearts for over eight decades. Krispy Kreme has been serving up their famous hot Original Glazed doughnuts since 1937, and they've become a beloved staple in communities around the world.
