Ray's Donuts

Great spot in the Northland for a sweet treat! Who doesn't love a donut? Ray's is tucked into the strip just off North Oak & Vivion (just north of Anita Gorman Park) and is super-accessible. There is no drive-thru, of course, but it's a quick in & out. Amble up to the counter that runs the back width of the shop and you're faced with racks on racks of beautiful pastries. A pair of donuts will run you between $3.50-4.00 and that's on par with the 'donut market' anymore (boo! inflation). But the value is beyond the price and Ray's offers up some *very* fluffy treats.Staff is friendly and invested and depending on the time of your visit, you might catch a coffee klatch of locals enjoying a cuppa & donuts while solving world problems in conversation. It's a great neighborhood spot with just the right 'donut shop' ambiance and a solid pastry game to boot.

Decent donuts. Not bad at all but certainly not as fluffy as Fresh Donuts a bit farther north. The chocolate yeast dough is not chocolatey like the Lamar's version is. Otherwise the donuts are moderately soft and sweet. Not overly iced. Not terribly expensive at about $20/dozen

The Long Johns chocolate Long Johns with chocolate fill are to die for....they taste so delicious...when you take a bite the tastes immediately melts in your mouth. These long John are just as divine as the long John Kelly's bakery had in Northeast...if anyone knows what I'm talking about Every since I can remember being a lil chica having Kelly's bakery right by my house on St. John & Jackson. I looked forward to Kelly's bakery Longs all the time...missed it But I was so Happy to find Ray's donuts because they are just as good maybe even better

Love when they do special recipes! The banana bread cake donut is one of the best donuts I've ever had!

Coming to Ray's reminds me of getting donuts with my Dad as a child. Everything about Ray's is amazing. The staff is wonderful and accommodating and the donuts are fresh and delicious!!!

I had never tried Ray's donuts before. I felt the prices were a bit high, but the donuts were big, fresh, and delicious. Will definitely visit again.

These donuts are awesome! Many to choose from. My finance went to the store and got a dozen of them and brought home. We got cherry, lemon, blueberry, red velvet, butterfinger, and M&M. I love glazed, but he forgot to grab a few. Ha. The 2 with the candy on top were different but really good! This was our first time getting donuts from here, definitely will get them again!

Ray's donuts is another Kansas City classic for your Saturday morning donuts or your weekday donut run for coworkers. The employees here are always friendly and very welcoming when you come in. The donuts are made fresh every day and the variety of options is ample. My children love coming here when we are in the area to get there sugary breakfast treats.

Honestly my favorite donut place in the metropolitan. Literally the donut cake has the best texture. The apple fritter is ginormous and so yummy as well.

Great selection of donuts. Best place for donuts for early in the morning. Refreshments are available. I only saw two employees so they were giving it their all. I'm definitely going back.
