Customer Reviews

This is a cute very small doughnut shop. It?s never been very busy when I?ve been inside. There are a couple tables to sit down and a tv. It?s very simple. I usually don?t eat in the shop, just take them and go. I?ve gone during the week in the morning around 8:30 and then once on Saturday morning at about 8:15 The doughnuts are so tasty! They are sweet but not too sweet, they are cooked perfectly so they are soft on the inside with a light fry on the outside. They are mostly large yeast doughnuts with som

The owner is very nice . The donuts was good to eat , I ordered stitch donuts. I think she did a great job with only 2 days to figure out how to do that . Inside of her store was very clean and nice .

These are some of the best donuts to be found and prices can?t be beat. I?m going to miss when I no longer live down the street. I buy a couple dozen once or twice a month for the office and they are gone by noon. Can?t say that about the competitors. Plus the service and great.

We love these donuts more than Dunkin and Krispy Kreme! They are light and airy and delicious! Ideal to go before 9a for the most selection. I went at 10:15 one time and the selection was minimal but still super yummy!

Friendly spot for good donuts with affordable prices;however, selection is fairly limited or was on the Sunday morning I stopped in.

Better donuts than most...and they have the best apple fritters in the state.

Best donuts I have had in a long time. Reminds of me the donuts I used to eat in California. Staff is amazingly polite. Keep up the good work.

Friendly place with delicious donuts. We?ve tried all types and all were good.

My favorite donut shop in town hands down! My coworkers aren?t huge donut people, but when I bring these in to the office they are always gone by the end of the day. Get here early if you want a variety because she always sells out- it?s just that good! Best price in town, delicious HUGE donuts, accepts card for $5 or over, and open everyday but Monday makes this place my all time favorite.

went in at 9:02am to preorder 2.5 dozen donuts for pickup later that day. They said they couldnt do it and I could only buy the stuff that was leftover. There literally was nothing to choose from except the stuff that they made at 4:30a until then that had not been picked through. Not sure why they have prices like a dozen or half a dozen when they couldnt produce the goods. May have been good if you can get there at 4:30am but probably won't be going back.

Went on a Sunday morning around 8 AM. There wasn't a lot of variety available. My grandson and I did get a donut. Service was great, the donuts were wonderful

5 out of 5! Great donuts for a great morning! Fresh and excellent selections. Bought a dozen reg and a dozen assorted. Fresh, fluffy and sweet. Just right for a chilly morning. Best place in East Wichita to grab a just perfectly made donut. Cheers!

Awesome donuts, twists, and other treats! Pleasant service and open early on Sunday, so my 7 AM Bible Study got the freshest throw-back donuts available! These are sone of the best tasting and wonderfully textured fresh donuts and pastries I?ve ever had! Strongly recommend! Yay!

Prairie Donuts is fantastic! I'm from Austin TX and we have plenty of donut shops however none of them are as good or fairly priced as Prairie Donuts! In addition to great donuts the young lady from Cambodia was personable, friendly, and all about taking care of the customer! She just makes a great business better. Thank you for the awesome experience.

Very little selection/variety by 8am. How can you be out of the most basic donuts by 8am? I wanted glazed donuts and there were none at all. Simple glazed donuts. No jelly filled either. I settled and got a dozen anyways. The actual taste of the donuts were fine, but I won't be back because I can't come earlier since I work nights, can't even get the donuts I want. Actually amazing to me that you wouldn't have regular glazed donuts. If you are running out of the most simple donut maybe you should make more

Get there early if you want any selection. Decent donuts but the case is always 70% empty by 8am

The donuts were good but nothing to rave about. As others have said, ?get there early if you want a larger selection to choose from?. The lady working the counter was very friendly and accommodating. Limited seating area in the shop itself but it was clean.

The cost for a dozen is excellent, and the audacity of the doughnuts is fantastic. The owners are very committed to their store and the fact that they sell out every day by 10am speaks for itself. Highly recommended!

Very fresh doughnuts. You have to get there early though becuase they close at 12pm and they make a certain amount every morning. They open at 4:30 am so yeah. 12pk box only $8 and some change, i got some twist and maple bars in the box as well. Tired some new one and I wasn't dissatisfied.

Great donuts that are better priced then the other shops. Open earlier too. Super nice sales lady even gave me a free chocolate long john since it was my time in. This is my new place to get donuts!

They have the best doughnuts in Wichita, and they are always fresh.

Best yeast donut I?ve had in the area (not the best ever). Decent selection, very affordable, and fast service. The Pinecone was our favorite, the blueberry cake ok, but the old fashioned was not great.

Never knew we had a small doughnut shop. We just moved to the area and just needed a quick breakfast. Stumbled across this place, and boy was I surprised! This small bakery has excellent prices, and even better doughnuts! No gimmicks with bacon or cereals, just the kind of doughnuts I remember as a kid!!! We will be going back!!!

My coworkers said and I quote "this glazed donut is better than Krispy Kreme" Not to mention this place is much cheaper, it's perfect!

This place blows Krispy cream out of the water!! All my co workers prefer this place over any other donut shop!

I really enjoy these donuts. Get there early for the best selection. They go fast. Delicious!

Best glazed donuts ever!!! Very pleasant owner, shop always clean. You have to go early because she runs out.

Solid donuts. I had glazed and chocolate frosted raised donut. They were decent. On a scale of 1-10. I give it a 4.7. Which is still a solid donut for those who are in area

Amazing donuts! They tasted perfect in every way. fluffy, flavorful, fresh and not overpowering in sweetness. Really friendly staff.

First and last time I go there. Very limited selection. The place had an awful oder. On the way home, I kept smelling the place in my car. It was the donuts. Not only did they stink as well, but they tasted god awful. I threw them away.

They had a great donuts if you just want classic flavors and styles. Also the prices were reasonable.

The guy who leaves one star and totally bashes, is a deeply angry dude. The doughnuts are so good, they are fluffy on the inside, they are crispy on the outside and are quite a delectable treat.

Been there twice. Not a huge selection but everything there has been tasty. Donuts have that fried crunch, so good.

Great Old Fashioned doughnuts at a better price point! Will definitely be going back before 7AM! Shop local folks!

Absolutely incredible doughnuts! My family prefers these over the higher priced competition. Their apple fritters are Huge AND outstanding!!

Ypu need to update your hours on here if you are not open on Mondays people look in here to see if you are open and you are not open on Mondays as stated on this site.

Not the fanciest and not the biggest but great fresh donuts at a really great price. Nothing beats a Saturday morning with kids picking out fresh donuts.

Polite, quick service. The food is very good and there is always a good variety to choose from. Price is very reasonable. I always stop here for a quick grab on my way to work.

Good donuts and decent prices. Make sure to get there early to get the best selection.

Coming from Texas back home to Kansas, this place has the best donuts. Great customer service!

Good doughnuts. Might want to get there early as there wasn?t a whole lot of selection when I went at 10am

Absolutely mouth watering donuts. Very happy this store is near my house because whenever I get donuts, I go here

Great donuts. fantastic service. Try the bear claws they are wonderful.

These are the softest, lightest, old-school doughnuts I've found in Wichita. They are perfection.

My favorite donut shop that doesn't rip you off for a dozen donuts

Very good donuts and affordable prices

Excellent donuts, love the early open time too!

Cheap and consistently good. No gimmicks with bacon or cereal, just good old fashioned donuts.

Wonderful apple fritter and pine cone. Nice Saturday treat. Friendly staff

These are fantastic! Kind staff. Go early so you don?t miss out.

Excellent donuts. Fast in and out, friendly staff.

Very fresh and nice flavor. The lady who waited on us was very pleasant.

Opens early. Great tasting doughnuts for a great price.

If you want a change from the super mega sugared Krispy Kreme doughnut, then give this place a try.

Good donuts for less than you'd expect to pay. Kudos!
