When you’re out on the road early in the morning, you’ll want to grab breakfast somewhere you’ve never been before. Homemade donuts are something we don’t always get to indulge in, but you’re in for a real treat if you can nab a few at Don’s Place. Breakfast, anyone?

Welcome to Don's Place, a little diner and donut shop in Protection, Kansas that's been here for decades.

For most, those decades have been filled with amazing homemade donuts, friendly regulars, and fresh pies made from the heart.

These donuts all come from a small donut fryer that doesn't hold very much, but Don works hard to fill the trays in the wee hours of the morning before customers arrive for breakfast.

Even with the large menu, the donuts are always what flies out of the doors the fastest. And who wouldn't want them when they're fresh and ready to go?
