My son turned me on to these donuts several years ago. Jim and Ann are dedicated to there art! I believe the glazed donut is the true judge of a quality donut. Simple, yeast risen, fried to a light crisp, lightly iced. No room for hiding mistakes or shortcuts. It was shortly after the first bite that I exclaimed, These are the best glazed donuts in North America! I was so impressed I had some t-shirts made, with Jims permission. I try to wear it whenever I get donuts, which doesnt seem to be often enough. Have cash and call your order in the night before. If you get a hot glazed, you might as well ask Jim for an apprenticeship, because you wont want to leave. All made by hand, the dough is too soft to go through a machine. Jim and Ann are the machines. Tell them Eric sent you!
I am not a morning person so I rarely get to visit any donut shops. I prefer the no chain type places when I do go out. I have been a fan of John Space Aged since my teens but its been closed for few years now. I would say fluffy Fresh is right up there with Johns. Fluffy Fresh just has basics but they do them right!!!! They do cash only, they dont do social media or anything requiring technology but if the donuts are this good who cares about technology. The owner helped me the day I visited and she was very sweet and kind. They do run out quick so get there early!!
What a cute little hole in the wall! Before warned, they absolutely do not accept any credit or debit cards so make sure you bring some cash with you. And make sure you get there early! Ive been there three or four times now all around 8:30 and usually all they have left are some long johns, cinnamon twists, and a few cake donuts here and there. I hope I can wake up early enough to get the full sampling someday!
My family, for as long as I can remember, have always had a standing order of 2 dozen donuts that we pick up every Sunday morning. They are easily the best donuts Ive ever had, Ive tried many, and theres no one out there that can best Fluffy Fresh Donuts.
Hands down the best donuts in KC and honestly anywhere in the United States. I scout donut places when I travel and nothing beats Fluffy Fresh. Highly recommend to anyone and you must go to the mission location. Everything is done by hand and all products are made from scratch.
Absolutely the best glazed Ive ever had!! The owners are great and prices are excellent!
We were spoilt by the legendary John’s Spaceage in downtown OP (RIP😕), but the fluffy fresh treats are every bit as good at this small, no-frills mom-&-pop store. Flaky-coated glazed (with a bit of vanilla?) are just great, but so is everything else too. Despite other reports the “no cards” sign is still up, so probably safest to still bring the folding stuff. I bought 15 glazed + a maple longjohn for $13😳. Great donuts at a great price.
Visited before 7 A.M. on a Tuesday. Had very little to choose from. Glazed left a film on the roof of my mouth. I travel a lot and always try to find the best donut shop in whatever city I happened to be. For traditional donuts, Gibsons in Memphis is still the high bar. Duck Donuts for gourmet. The best I have found in KC is Hanas. The 2 glazed I bought at Fluffys are in the trash. YUCK!!
Absolutely worth the high reviews! Fresh, homemade, REAL donuts! Cash only, but you only need a little - everything is very reasonably priced!
It is no contest, there is no debate.these are the best donuts in the entire world.its not even close.I tell everyone I know, that you gotta try these.Be warned, when they run out, somewhere around 8 am, they will close, so dont trying showing up at 11 or whatever it says on google, they will run out of donuts before 9 am and they will be closed.
Literally the best donuts I have ever had. Everything is handmade and fresh. Husband and wife team.. I consider myself a donut lover who has tried them far and wide and nothing has topped these.
Visited here while traveling and fell in love!! only downside is that they sell out quick so you gotta get there early!
Been coming here for years. I have stopped for donuts all over the country. I have never found a better donut than Fluffy Fresh! They are crispy of the outside and literally fluffy on the inside. Glazed & any flavor of long john are just unbelievably good. They make their own chocolate to cover the donuts....just go. Forget all the others in town.
Of course they run out of donuts, they only sell fresh--correction, fluffy fresh-- delicious donuts. I went in for half a dozen and came out with a full box. They are just that good.Hands down, these are the best donies for miles and miles. The cinnamon twists are scrumptious, so get 5 of those.Bring cash. Get there early. Eat your weight in donuts.
A modest storefront contains delicious local treats. Fluffy Fresh doesnt overly sugar their glazed donuts, which is terrific because you get a stronger flavor balance. The owners are friendly, and offer free coffee, which was a fresh strong brew. Would definitely like to come back to taste their other donut options.
The best donuts and the best prices. Gotta get there early though. I think they’re usually sold out by 10 am at the very latest. Oh, and it’s cash only.
Always soooo amazingly good. They melt in your mouth. Super friendly owners too. Hands down the best donuts I’ve ever had in my life.
These donuts are exceptional! The store really lives up to their name because these donuts are so FLUFFY. Will only be buying donuts from here now on.
Worth the hype. Visited first thing in the morning, about 7 or 8, after Christmas my first time and there were just 8 donuts. I bought two and the guy who came in after bought the rest because every time I drive back youre sold out.FYI: Each day has a specialty donut flavor.You can and are encouraged to call ahead for orders!
Best donuts in KC, dont even @ me. Old school classics, the cinnamon twists and apple sauce are a must try, but everything is good. Get there early early early or leave a message with your order the day before, they sell out quick.
Best in the metro. Gonna be a line on Sat morning, but so worth it. The standard glazed is a work of art!
I drive from North of the River just to get Glazed Donuts Love this Place
Super fresh means extra delicious !! Get there really
The name says it all.... They make the fluffiest donuts around.... Open on sundays and holidays is a major plus in my book.... The owners are super nice and their prices are unbeatable..... If you decide to try them out be sure to bring cash because that is the only form of payment they accept!!!!
Best doughnuts in KC!
The best donuts in KC, youre up early enough to get some do yourself a favor and pick some up.
The reviews are right. These are the best donuts in the city hands down. Much better than Lamars as one other reviewer pointed out. Why? Better ingredients. Reasonably priced as well. Get there early, they do sell out. Jimmy, the owner and donut maker, is an absolute doll.
I love their doughnuts! Their glazed and cinnamon twists are so fresh, (usually still warm) that they almost melt in your mouth. I drive past other doughnut options to get these.
Great dounts. Charming old fashioned donut shop. Cinnamon twist was still warm.
Classic doughnuts. This is one of my favorite places to get my doughnut fix. You gotta come early though. They sell out fast because they’re just that good! Bring cash too. No cards.
Best Donuts I have ever tasted. Crafted with care. Specially the chocolate ones. Not too much chocolate and always fresh !! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Seriously some of the best donuts in KC. Mission is the original and still hand made!
Just a happy experience with a solid dose of authentic
Loooooove this place.
Consistent, old school quality. Try the cinnamon twists--Others come close but cannot quite match. Closed Mondays. Early visitors get donuts . . .they close when they run out.
Fresh cinnamon twists! What a nice surprise!
Nothing beats these glazed donuts 🍩
The BEST donuts EVER! This donut shop is exactly what is pictured when you think “ma and pa shop”, they’re cash only and sell out early so be prepared for that. I am not a morning person but these donuts are worth the AM effort.
Best doughnuts in town!
If you have the chance to go get fluffy fresh donuts. Get them. Cash only.
This is an amazing place, reminds me of a similar place in McPherson,Ks that closed years ago, I thought the fluffy maple long johns were lost forever, not so! Visit this Donut Shop for the best sweets anywhere!
Donuts made by hand every morning. The couple that owns it is great.
This is the best donut I have ever had (glazed or cinnamon twist), and Ive had more than my fair share all over the country. They only take cash so be prepared.
This place has the best donuts Ive had in the entire United States. I am not speaking hyperbolically. I have tried numerous donut shops from California to New York and nothing else comes close. All the donuts are great, the Bavarian Cream is particularly special. It has a real chocolate ganache on top and what must be real Bavarian cream inside. Everywhere else you will get chocolate flavored icing and sugary pudding. This is an entirely different experience. If you look through these reviews, the only reason this place has 4.8 and not a perfect 5 star average is become some people are upset about this place being closed when they arrive. They are special donuts and they will be gone by 8am. If you show up late you can always overpay for a far inferior donut at Lamars on the next corner.
Still the best donut in the universe. Their dough is an original from the past. Before machines took over. I can only guess how long theyve been doing this for. I imagine its been quite a while. The owners are there every night to prep the dough and cook the donuts every morning by hand. Try the glazed and the cinnamon twists those are my favorites. But maybe its the specialty blueberry cake Donuts on Saturday mornings. You can also call in and leave a message on their answering machine if you have a larger order. They will be ready by the time you get there. So with that being said If you dont get there by 9 in the morning. Dont bother heading down they will be sold out. I usually show up around 6:30 am. Its worth a visit to try them. Ill have to add photos of the Donuts later. I keep forgetting to take a picture before I eat them all. After second thought Ive changed my mind I think my favorite is the chocolate long johns.
The best donut I have ever had. They are incredible.
Best donuts in town! Really lives up to its name - I had the fluffiest, most pillowy glazed donut in years! So happy to find this gem!
After reading all kinds of reviews, I finally popped into Fluffy Fresh and got a combo pack to take into work. Everyone at work (even the Missouri folk) says that the glazed donut from Fluffy Fresh is the best in town. We will definitely be getting Fluffy Fresh again really soon!
Best donuts on the planet! They make donuts the way they should be made, by hand! The chocolate on the long johns is a long held family secret and is to die for! You will NOT be disappointed! Get there early when they are out of donuts they are done!
Best donuts in town, hands down. My kids or coworkers get excited when they see Ive brought Fluffy fresh donuts!
Best donuts in Kansas! If youre close stop by but come early, donuts go quick. Best bet is to call the day before noon, after that leave a detailed short message.
First time here, loved it. Made truly from scratch and by hand. I have been to every other donut place and these are the best.
This place is the best. Havent had doughnuts like this since Weavers on 77th troost!!!!
The best donuts in town. Nothing fancy, but so good. Cash only. Get there early, or miss out. Pre-order the night before and your donuts are boxed and ready to go. Try it!
This place is one of my favorite places in all of Kansas City!! Amazing donuts hot and fresh with local owners who put their hearts into their food. Great piece of Americana in Mission Kansas.
This is the best donut shop in Kansas City hands down. Get there early as they sell out.You havent lived until youve had their cinnamon twists and glazed donuts hot out of the fryer.
Truly the best donuts Ive ever had! Totally worth getting up early. Make sure youre there by 8 because they still out quick!
The donuts are amazing but the owners are even more amazing!!
Too bad they sell out so early in the mornings, and close for the day!
Closed until end of year...? After reading all the Five Star Reviews, I was looking forward to driving the 25 minutes to this house of tastie pastries and other delectable wub-wub. I decided to torture my taste buds and have a look at their posted pictures. I do agree, yet, based on sight alone those fluffy fresh donuts were doing their photogenic job for sure.Then I saw it... The sign...CLOSED from 9-20-19 until end of December. Shoulder SurgeryTaste Bud torture indeed. I will patiently await my first FLUFFY FRESH DONUT. Prayers and speedy recovery to the Baker and sore shoulder responsible for such goodness provided to a city in great need of all things GOOD & KIND.
Probably the best donuts in Kansas. Definitely the best donuts Ive ever had.
Fluffy donuts for sure. Good flavor. Get there early cause they will sell out.
Probably the best donuts Ive ever had. They dont do a bunch of fancy toppings or flavors etc, just good old fashioned classics done amazingly well!
On my way to work with my and I normally stop by Lamars right down the street for donuts but caught the sign of Fluffy Donuts and turned around. I was kind of skeptical being that i didnt see many donuts in the display but they had 3 glazed left. i took the last 3. And I actually do love their donuts better than Lamar.
Jimmy the owner is the best, and the doughnuts are great too.
This is absolutely the best donut shop around! A family favorite for decades. Make sure you call in your order the night before because they sell out before 9am even hits the clock!
Without a doubt the best doughnuts ever!
This is a great locally owned shop. They have some of the best fresh and fluffy donuts in the entire city
Been coming to fluffy fresh since I was 8 and it hasn’t changed yet. Best donuts period
Best donuts hands down, but a few notes: 1. Call your order in beforehand and 2. Bring cash.
These are the best donuts Ive ever had. Get there early and get fresh warm glazed donuts, theyre incredible!
Their glazed are waaaaayyyyy better then Krispy Kreme. Cash only and short hours but very good product.
Awesome donuts, but if you sleep in youre going to miss out. They open at 6:00am and they say theyre open until noon, but when the donuts are gone, theyre gone. They usually sell out pretty early because they are in high demand.
This is the best donut shop in the KC metro Good to know corporate America hasnt totally taken over
Great doughnuts! You had best get there pretty darn early though. When I went at 715am, they only had two types of doughnuts left.
The only place I’ll go to get donuts. Cash only, and get there early, they usually sell out by 8am. Try the chocolate long johns or the iced peanut vanilla cake donut.
Best donuts my familys ever had!
Best donuts in Kansas City. Period. Get to this quaint ma and pa shop early, they sell out quick!
Sooooo glad theyre back and the shoulder is in rehab. missed ya!
BEST glazed donuts! And prices for donuts are cheap!
Best donuts in the kc metro
Probably the best donuts Ive had, but be sure to arrive early if you want a variety. They seem to sell out fast
Hard to believe, but its probably better than Lamars. The ONLY place Ive ever been with a chocolate(Devils Food, technically) cake donut that wasnt all dried out.
Very delicious donuts. Getting them early when theyre still warm is the best.
Amazing donuts, out of my way, but worth the trip
What Im about to say is controversial for folks that live in the KC metro, but since Im a transplant, Ill go ahead and say these are better than Lamars donuts. :)
The best donuts hands down, all the other shops are sooo commercial! Fluffy Fresh are the best homemade donuts Ive ever tasted. He is up EARLY making those donuts (his dads recipe) shhhhhhh!💃💃#gottamakethedonuts! And he is a great person!
Such good donuts and a wonderful local stop!
Amazing donuts! Definitely some of the best in Kansas City.
Great donuts. Great service.
Great mom and pop donut shop. Great taste and value, too.
Get there early, once they run out theyre closed. Best glazed donut Ive ever had, I adore the cinnamon twists ❤️❤️❤️
Best donuts in town, hands down! Just know the supply is limited, get there before 8!!
Amazing Donuts. Fluffy and Fresh. Perfect Icing to Donut Ratio :)
My work team is always excited when its my turn to bring doughnuts. Leave them a voicemail with your order the day before - these doughnuts are worth planning ahead for.
