The Donut Whole

We stopped on a whim after seeing this was the closest coffee shop to where we were headed. We will definitely be back! The place is quirky but filled with great staff and stellar donuts! Best ones we’ve had in awhile. We are so glad we stopped.

The food is good, not the best and will do. A fun place to be. Location is not bad. The best thing is they are open 24 hours. Would recommend going there with family if time permits.

My last review was from a while ago so instead this time I took on the full experience on a Monday night! Donuts & Music! This time they had a variety to choose fun! They make them through the day and early AM is the best time to stop by. Whatever you love, just imagine it on the donut! Lots of different kinds of cake donuts to choose from. In addition, they have live music on some nights. This past Monday I was fortunate to stop in with friends and listen to some wonderful beautiful Jazz music. It livened the atmosphere! A lot people make a quick stop for donuts while some stick around and listen to music. If you want goo music and good donuts this is the place to go!

The best donuts in Wichita, whether you’re picking up a couple dozen for work or just want to sit and hear an evening performance and check out some art. We love this place! One of those cool spots where kids can be kids or be little urban adults, everybody just fits in. Try the salted Carmel donut you will be amazed!

Best donuts I have ever eaten! and I have had A LOT of donuts.
Need to open another location near Kellogg and Webb Rd. :-)

The delectable donuts were not a surprise; everyone in Wichita raves about The Donut Hole and knows they are amazing. The surprise was the latte, which was very good. Most places struggle with the balance between milk and coffee, but they nailed it!

The Donut Whole is my go to spot for sweet treats! It’s convenient location on Douglas makes it even better. Sometimes I’ll swing by the drive through and grab a donut after closing the bar at 4am.
The streusel donuts are my favorite. But with literally hundreds of flavors that change throughout the year it’s nearly impossible to try them all. They offer a wide variety of coffee drinks as well as tea and even smoothies.
They regularly have live music and other family friendly events. I wish I had a place like this to hang out at when I was younger.

I really enjoyed this place as we were there first thing this morning and ordered three dozen donuts. It was a mix of all types the maple bacon, red velvet, double chocolate and oh so many more.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone the team there was extremely friendly and selected all our options.
Will be back…

I know that the donut game has gotten a little more competitive in ICT as of late but the Donut Hole is still the best in town. These donuts can be eaten fresh or a few days old and they are still amazing. Make sure to get at least an assortment of 6 because once you try your first one you won’t want to stop.

Delicious as eff! Gotta go earlier in the day so they’re fresh! Great selection of unique donut flavors. I crave them almost every day.

Nice little donut find in Wichita. Bonus they are open 24hrs so you can satisfy that donut craving no matter the time. Downside there are so many yummy looking donuts you are going to want to try. My advice wear stretchy pants! I wasn’t hungry on my visit but find room for one donut. There’s always room for one.
I went with the sunshine citrus crunch. A cake donut with a citrusy glaze. Best part is that it’s topped with fruity pebbles!

All they have are cake donuts. No yeast donuts.
The price is fine, the atmosphere is hippie chic. Service is fine.
After midnight only the drive through is open.

I love donuts and I am so happy that this place opens 24/​7, even on holidays! Free wifi is a plus, especially when I need a place to get work done while nomming on some flavorful donuts. Their milk teas are okay, though a bit too much on the sweet side.

So. I decided to give the donuts a other chance. My motivation was the loud and clear sign on the front door that said «wifi is for paying customers only» in caps. I tried the chocolate coconut one and the cake with chocolate icing.DELICIOUS. Both were so fresh around noon time when I indulged. Much better than the vanilla or white frosted ones I had before.

Nice hole in a wall that serves coffee and donuts super late!
Reasonably priced and pretty tasty.

Love their donuts and bobba milk tea. We mostly pass by their drive thru to get a dozen of their supreme donuts and some thai milk tea for the hubby and some vanilla milk tea for me.
Their donuts are not as sweet as the cometition, it doesn’t become stale as fast too even if it was left for a day in the box.

The Donut Whole is one of the coolest spots in Wichita and a highlight of my visit.
The vintage décor works well, and there are a ton of little artifacts to look at.
Locally-​roasted beans (from Reverie) made the best coffee I had on my trip. The espresso was fantastic. When you’re dealing with 4^th of July revelry-​related hangovers, you gotta have good coffee.
What about the donuts? I appreciate the variety and creativity with the donut selections. They looked really cool, and our crew was excited to sample the unusual flavors. If only the donuts tasted as good as they looked. Many selections were underwhelming and a bit stale (stale cake, soggy toppings, etc.)
On balance, this was a fun visit, and I’ll certainly return for some coffee some day.

To be honest, I’ve experienced much better back home. Now because this is probably KS’s most wackiest donut creation establishment, it’s a huge deal here. A business like this will stick out from all the other plain donut joints around. Heck, even the inside of the shop is like a playhouse.
As me and my gf parked, I instantly smelled the fresh donuts from the outside. It smelled wonderful and drew attention to us. From the outside, there is a huge rooster on top of the brick roof which isn’t hard to miss. Once I stepped foot inside, there were lots of children playing around and running around while their parents were sitting on preschool type seats. It’s like the lobby space is designated for children and families. Bottom line, the donut shop is kid friendly lol.
The space is tiny as you walk through the hall. The front counter where orders are made is small and closed in. I can’t imagine the traffic this area of the shop looks like on a busy day. It’d totally be stuffy and congested. The designs on the walls and décor were wacky and random. Everything looked disorganized; this can be a clowns room lol. Maybe they were aiming to match their wacky donuts? Idk. but it wasn’t my type of shop lol.
The selections were limited too. There were like 10 – 12 flavors in total and nothing sticked out to me. The most outrageous thing was their famous maple bacon donut which is one of the most common blends out there; actually it’d be a standard if anything. Each donut was about $ 2 and the sizes were just right. I’ll give them that! I do love their sizes because its about a fist full and enough to finish. The dough itself was a bit dry though. I didn’t like how dry the and flaky the donut was. The donut tended to crumble quick. I also liked how they didn’t overdue their toppings because then their donuts would’ve been too sweet and thick and I wouldn’t like it.
Anyway, our wacky donut shops in the west coast totally destroys this. But either way I’m thankful to come to a donut staple in KS. I did want to come here and make sure that I did try their best.
Thanks Donut Whole!

Yes please, and thank you! When I spotted that giant metal rooster, I knew my donut craving was about to be addressed. Enter through the back/​side door from the parking lot, and place your order from a wide array of wonderful donuts.
I had the chocolate coconut and it was absolutely outstanding. Moist but sturdy, with visible holes and tunnels from the air bubbles in the batter, which made them lighter and less dense than they appear.
I almost made it out of there, but since I had to double back past the counter again to get out, the tractor beam pulled me right back in and I bought six more to take home with me. So, in addition to the chocolate coconut I had this afternoon, I’ve also enjoyed a classic powdered donut as dessert this evening. So good! Hubs was happy with his chocolate frosted donut as well.
I’ve still got a few… but as of press time the author had no plans to share her donuts with anyone.

Wholly sugar!!! This place is amazing! Definitely a little awkward to get to especially if they are busy. When you find the door; you’ll know.
Step up to the counter and prepare to be amazed! There are no traditional showcases because these are not traditional donuts. These are new wave donuts; donuts that will soon conquer the world with their delicious flavor!
I had one and was sad when it was gone. Going back soon!
