LaMar’s Donuts & Coffee

My son just said as we were leaving, «If I could rate lamar’s customer service, I would give them a 5!»
Great donuts, very friendly staff, and nice atmosphere!

Donuts just don’t get better than this. I moved overseas about 5 years ago and for those 5 years, I couldn’t stop thinking about Lamar’s, especially the old fashioned sour cream. Every time I would have a donut from another shop, I would immediately think «well it’s a donut, so it’s delicious, but it’s not Lamar’s.» As soon as my sister moved back to the area, I knew where my first stop was going to be when I came to visit. Now that I am visiting Denver, I can tell you, they were better than I remember and I can guarantee you that a box filled with a dozen old fashioned sour cream donuts is going to be one of my carry on items when I head back home.

By far the best doughnuts in town! The staff is extremely friendly and even offered me free glazed doughnuts. Which of course I gladly took. Everything is always fresh and the variety in choices is also a plus! Overall, if you have a sweet tooth I would definitely suggest going here.

I’ve been here too many times to count and each time it’s hit and miss…
Oh the ‘miss’ days, I feel like I’m getting day old donuts. How do I know? I usually get my Lamar’s off 6^th at the Denver location.
The people are nice here, and the donuts are definitely «Lamar’s», but of all the times I’ve been here and gotten milly, seemingly old donuts, I can honestly say that I only come here if I am running too late to go to the Denver location. Would I recommend Lamar’s? YES. Would I recommend this Lamar’s? HELLS NO.
I would sooner recommend the Louisville location over this one (I’ve been there once, fresh, friendly, LAMAR’S).
This isn’t just my opinion either, this is coming from my mom and aunt, both I’ve brought here.

Line always seems to be out the door, and for good reason these donuts are amazing. Some of the best ive ever had. Staff is friendly and at least on 2 occasions when the lines were really long everyone inline was given a free donut for waiting. Talk about keeping people happy.

Their donuts are amazing always seem to taste fresh when I get them. Living next to this place is dangerous. Bizmark donuts have always been a favorite of mine and theirs are some of the best!

Love this place! The doughnuts are fresh and they have a huge variety… even the old fashioned sour cream ones I like! The staff was nice and prompt with getting orders, especially considering how busy they were. We will definitely be back!

Fast service, best donuts around. They’re pricier than others (King Soopers, Dunkin Donuts) but well worth it for the donuts. Don’t really think the donut holes are worth what they charge, though.

The donuts here are some of the best you can get. Drive straight past Dunkin’s up the street and come here instead. No crazy flavors or phallic shapes. Quality is consistent. The donuts are huge and have body unlike Krispy Kreme. Krispy Kreme isn’t a bad donut but it’s just different from Lamar’s and most people seem to like one or the other.
This would be a 5 star review if it weren’t for the terrible coffee. They have 3 flavors, light, dark and house, but they all just taste like hot water. Starbucks is across the street and it is by no means a good cup of coffee but it’s they only thing decent if you want coffee that tastes like coffee to go with your donut.

Holy Moly.
The holy grail of donuts is here.
The gap between cakey (dunkin) to squishy (KrispyKreme) has been found.
1 dozen donuts, each of them the size of texas, is soft and cakey. Got a nice doughy stretch and at the same time, robust cakey textures. I love it!
Their seasonal special Pumpkin Spice Donut is on the shelves now and is perfect.
I think I need to look into buying a franchise for this place. Sooooooo good

Pretty tasty, but not phenomenal. Would’ve liked to see cherry cake donuts on the menu and maybe side options like bagels or fruit. Inexpensive and QUICK!
I thought it was funny that they open with, «Would you like a dozen or half dozen today?» Umm, just two please…

Clean, large variety of donuts but I wasn’t impressed with the quality of the donuts or the customer service. I’ll give then one more shot and update this review if anything changes.

The best donuts ever! Light and fluffy and they melt in your mouth. Always such a treat. The original chocolate ray’s glazed is my fav. Line is always out the door early in the morning on weekends but it’s well worth the wait

I love good doughnuts, but have learned to be suspicious of them through the years. It’s easy to make (and eat) a bad doughnut!
I was never here, but a big box of them arrived at an office meeting, and I greeted these doughnuts warily. But they looked good to the eye, so I tried a half of a simple glazed.
Yum!
Fresh, soft, fluffy and light, glazed but not too glazed.
I had the other half.
Then later I had another.
No guilt! When there’s a good doughnut, I will eat it! And if it’s not, I save my calories for the good ones. Like this.

Awesome customer service! Bought some yummy donuts for morning snack and they were so good I went back for more to take home to California with me! I will be back!

Their donuts are great, when they get my order right,
I am a jelly donut junky, and Lamar’s has an amazing raspberry bismark. However, the last several times I have visited this location and have ordered said RASPBERRY bismark I have been given the WRONG kind. Unfortunately, because I take them home, I don’t figure this out until I settle in with a nice glass of milk. My husband stopped in to this location on Friday and, knowing my history, very clearly asked the clerk to make sure they gave him two raspberry donuts. Later that evening we discovered that the first of the two was actually CHERRY — which I didn’t even know they made! And now, this morning, the second was discovered to be blueberry.
C’mon guys. Mark your trays correctly and don’t move filled donuts around. This is extremely frustrating. With Dunkin coming to town soon, I will no longer be visiting your shop.

These are the best donuts ever!!! It was mothers day so I was smart enough to send my friend. She ended up waiting in line for 20 minutes and complained when she got back to the house but I sure did enjoy the donuts once they got to me!

Lamar’s makes the best donuts in the entire Denver metro area. This store in particular never seems to run out of the popular flavors, and the staff is friendly and very helpful.
I stopped in to bring donuts to my team at work (a late meeting last night meant no time to make the homemade treat I wanted to), and as it was almost 7:30am when I arrived, I expected them to be sold out of most flavors. Not the case; the front cases were well-​stocked, and there was no line at all. I got in and out in under five minutes, with plenty of time to make it to work before my team arrived.

I’ve literally have had almost every donut here and they are pretty tasty. My favorites though are the Bizmarks with boston cream, Yummzies! I also like their basic glaze donut, I am usually an apple fritter fan, but I do have to say Lamar’s really doesn’t do it for me. I like that I earn points towards free donut’s and since I usually get a dozen every time I do go so I practically get a freebie every time.

I was on the fence about Lamar’s Donuts for awhile. I grew up on Velvet Crème Doughnuts in South Florida, and in my later years, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. They both are light and melt in your mouth, and you might easily find yourself shoveling down half a dozen before you realize it.
You won’t make that mistake with Lamar’s Donuts.
Their basic donut (is it difficult for anyone else to write «Donut» instead of «Doughnuts»?) is about 5 – 6 inches in diameter. They are of the yeast raised, fried variety. (Definitely my favorite over the «Homestyle» or «Cake» Doughnut.) They are airy and not too sweet, but they’re more filling and dense than a Krispy Kreme. They’re also about 3 times the size. They come plain Glazed, Chocolate Iced, Maple Glazed, Sprinkled and more. Their «Specialites» though are where it’s at. «Bismarks»: Glazed and/​or Iced behemoths, just as large as the Donuts but hole-​less, some stuffed or filled with Bavarian Cream, or Lemon, or Raspberry, or Blueberry, or Coconut Cream, or Apple… even Peanut Butter and Jelly! They also have a selection of «Bars» which are 8 – 9 inches long, and iced or stuffed too. With the Bismarks and Bars, I can usually finish half in one sitting.
Another benefit of the Hole-​less plain glazed Bismark? A much better option for the «Donut» part of the infamous «Krispy Kreme Bacon Cheeseburger.» (And, being larger and denser, better suited to holding a burger as well.) (Image may be seen at

Two things took Lamar’s from 3 stars to 4 stars for me. One: The cleanliness of the store and friendliness of the employees. We’ve watched them «Chat Up» their «regular» customers, patiently smile while kids change their minds 50 times, and of course, they’re a testament to WHY the store is so clean. Secondly: The Raspberry Bismark. It is absolutely bursting with sweet-​tart raspberry filling with bits of fruits still intact. Well, make that Three Things: I gotta try one of those Doughnut Bacon Cheeseburgers!
