There are so many great bakeries in Kansas, and there's certainly no shortage of spots to find a sweet treat to tempt your taste buds. I've got to say, though, I have a major fondness for donuts. There's something so special about these melt-in-your-mouth pastries. Many opt for a trendy donut with unique toppings like bacon or cereal, but even old-fashioned plain glazed donuts are just as good, in my book. We're lucky enough to have some wonderful donut shops in Kansas that are perfect for a quick bite, and one of the best is Mr. D's Donut Shop. This place serves up the best donuts in Shawnee, KS and it's no surprise that it's such a locally beloved spot. Let's take a peek at these delectable donuts:

Mr. D's Donuts opened up in 1975, and with just one taste, you'll see why this spot has succeeded with such longevity: it's utterly delicious!

The interior is small, but has spots for dining if you'd prefer to eat here. Many opt to pick up the sweet treats in the morning on their way to work or other activities.

One of Mr. D's Donuts' owners is from Taiwan and was inspired to open his business by a chain that's popular there, Mister Donut.

Classics like glazed and vanilla iced are always on the menu...

...But you'll also find adorably-decorated special donuts for holidays.

How cute are these football-themed donuts? (Go Chiefs!)

On weekends, Mr. D's also serves up mochi donuts. These chewy Asian donuts are made up of balls of rice flour and have a unique texture.
