Munchers Bakery

My husband and I have this weird thing were we crave doughnuts at strange times of the day or night. And NO it is not for the reason you maybe thinking. We just really like baked goods. We were visiting our daughter at KU, and mentioned we wished there was some place with a 24hr doughnut shop. She said we have a place! And recommended Munchers. From what I understand it is a Lawrence staple and very popular with the KU students. They are located in a strip mall across from a bowling alley. The shop has almost a homey feel. And the lady who served us was very sweet and helpful.They have a good selection of doughnuts, cakes, cookies and other pastries.The prices are reasonable.The doughnuts have a good rise and are light and fluffy. The only downside, per my husband, is they did not have crullers (his favorite). But he was pleased with the cinnamon rolls (his 2nd fave) and cinnamon doughnuts. My daughter likes the cream cheese doughnuts.My favorite out of this trip was the strawberry knot. We will be returning next time we are in Lawrence.

We had Munchers as the dessert option for our October 2024 wedding. It was easy to place the larger order in-store & coordinate having our planner pick them up her way to the venue. The doughnuts were absolutely delicious and all of our guests raved about them! Munchers always has been and will continue to be the best. You just can't beat the cream cheese & strawberry cream cheese doughnuts.

Very yummy & affordable baked goods as well as cakes!! Staff is friendly and happy to be working no matter the time of day!

Man, who didn't pay the fruit filling guy? I remember when I was a young, strapping Jayhawk, I'd go in here at 1 in the A.M. and I'd have a strudel and a fritter, and would be DELIGHTED to nearly eat a full apple in the process with as much as the saints of old decided to inject into these wonderful concoctions. Boy, have times changed! This was little more than sugar caked on sugar, with 3 pieces of apple per near $2 item. Has inflation hit that hard? Listen, let me know if you need apples; I got a guy, I can get as many apples as you can carry. Good deal too, just let me know.This got me wondering if the wonder years of collegiate yore are more imaginative than I let on to myself. I remember the excitement of KU, and the donuts to follow. I make it a point anytime I'm grazing the myelin sheath of Lawrence, I do right by my past to head 3 miles from any direction to acquire a box of heart attack memory from my alma donut mater. I think I'll give us some space. We need it. My heart needs it after that sugar explosion. Subtly in food is desired. Quit paying the sugar guy, and start paying the apple guy again. Like I said, I'll get ol' Johnny Appleseed to swing by, just let me know.

When I first came to the area, I was told that I needed to visit Munchers to get some donuts. Well, in fact it was the first thing we "had to do" after a late night out. We had to visit this hole in the wall donut place off Iowa and 9th st...I was dubious. And in fact the place looks like it hasn't been updated since the 90s. There were a lot of empty racks where donuts had been earlier in the day, and the guy working the counter looked impatient that we stumbled in at 1am or whatever time it was. He curtly answered our questions and efficiently moved around to get the pastries we wanted, and we were out of there so fast I thought we might run into ourselves coming in!Gotta say... the pastries were good. I learned that basically you pick whatever is available, unless you get there in the morning when everything is available! And it has started a whole thing with us. Anytime we are in Lawrence (literally anytime, 24x7) and get a sugar craving, we dart over there. Once (1 time), it was closed for some family emergency. But pretty much a 24x7 place to get your donut and pastry fix.

Do not eat at munchers, unless you want to be addicted to their pastries, cookies and cakes. WOW! Kinda scared that I found this place. The goodies are as beautiful as they are delicious and this place is open 24 hours a day. That could be really DANGEROUS for your waistline. The counter service is quick & efficient, and the prices are great! Highly recommended.

Visited Munchers Bakery after seeking donuts at Lawrence's Farmers Market on 7/13/24. Munchers was fully stocked in the morning around 8:00AM. Tried the cream cheese rolls based on the Yelp comments, as well as the strawberry cream cheese rolls. The rolls are filled with simple vanilla cream cheese mixture. They ice the rolls with a super sweet glaze; vanilla or strawberry. In our opinion, the glaze was too sweet.We also had apple fritters, orange danish rolls and cinnamon rolls. They looked great, but I didn't get to taste any of them.To top off the dozen pastries, I had a simple glazed, yeast donut as they are very telling of the other items. The glazed donut wasn't very good. Not light or airy and it didn't have much flavor.

It was 9pm on a Thursday night and we were craving donuts!! Specifically a glazed twisty and a chocolate covered donut. Nothing special, just the basics! We found Munchers Bakery opened 24 hours and so we called first to make sure. We got there and they weren't too busy. They still had a good variety to select from. They weren't fresh, of course because it's late. However, we were satisfied. Inside looked clean and in place. Overall experience was great! Most likely will be back!

The cream cheese donuts are just amazing! No donut is good for you but these make life a little happier for a bit. What sets this place above the rest is the different options like the cream cheese rolls and orange danish rolls. Served by ladies who know what tastes good & they are so polite

Overall this place is good but every time the bald dude is working there ARE NEVER ANY DONUTS, the shelves are literally bare. For it to be 24 hours and your shelves are bare at 7:30, and nothing else is being made then he doesn't even want to help you, I only say this because he doesn't make eye contact, and of there is a period where donuts don't get made JUST SAY THAT! I work in retail and i know sometimes things happen that they aren't prepared for but not every encounter with the one employee should this be the thing, and i travel to get some donuts and yes thats my choice but at the end of the day if you don't like ya job quit, because when the ladies are there they are kind and on point EVER TIME!! No matter what time of day it is.
