LaMar’s Donuts & Coffee

Swung in for a quick sugar fix and coffee buzz and got exactly what I needed! Great service and friendly people. Tasty Doughnuts and good coffee! I recommend this to anyone looking for that morning sugar fix!

I work a few doors down at Tender Touch Animal Hospital, so this place has been my savior lately. I usually grab a quick latte on the days I have time, and they are always made deliciously. The thing that really makes this place shine for me is the service, one girl in particular. I wish I knew her name but because I have no memory I do not. She has really long brown hair and is usually working the register mid-​mornings. She is so friendly and amazing it really makes this place stand out as a great one to grab some coffee at before work starts! It makes the day much easier when you start it with a pleasant conversation.
EDIT (some add on): I had to be at work at 7:45 one morning. In my mind, if you’re not early, you’re late. I got to the area at 7:30 and was like «Oh yeah, plenty of time to grab a coffee and get there ten minutes early still». I walked in and the line was all the way to the door. I looked around, most likely with panic all over my face, when the manager noticed me. He said hello and asked how I was, as he had seen me in there before. I said I was great but that I had to go as I didn’t have time to brave the line and get to work my customary 10 minutes early. He said, «No, stay. I’ll help.» and he hopped behind the counter and started helping people so that the line was moving at double the time it was before. I got my coffee, and still made it to work early. That is the definition of above and beyond.

Their doughnuts are quite delicious but unfortunately they rarely have any on the shelves. I’ve been in multiple times (by 7:45am) and they are out of simple glazed raised! Staff is plentiful but rarely helpful.
Try winchells! They always have plenty of doughnuts.

Great donuts, but don’t count on them ever delivering them on time (or even remembering your order, for that matter). This is the third time now that I personally have experienced an issue with delivery, and I’m told by others at my job that they’ve had the exact same experience. I was supposed to have donuts delivered at 8:15 AM, and when I called at 9 AM asking where the delivery was, they couldn’t even find my order form. I heard them in the background saying, «I can’t find her order anywhere» and thumbing through papers (which strikes me as odd, that in 2015 they literally have a pile of papers with the orders).
The woman who I spoke to ended up personally delivering the donuts (which is the only positive thing from this experience) and they didn’t get here until a little after 10 AM (2 hours after we were supposed to have them, and a whole 45 minutes after the woman assured me she was «leaving immediately to personally deliver them», when it’s a 15 minute drive at the most).
I was told that I’d be receiving a phone call later in the day from the manager in order to refund the money that was spent on these donuts. I waited around all day, and I finally called to follow up at 3:30, and what a surprise, they’re now closed. So not only did they totally screw up our order, but they didn’t even follow through with their offer to fix the mistake.
TL; DR: Don’t order donuts from LaMar’s if you actually want to have them when you say you do.

Best donut in Denver! I said it!
Forget the countless breweries and dispensaries in Denver — I like to get my buzz off of one (or two… or three) of these magical donuts!
Let me break it down for you: Are they expensive? Yes– But worth it. Can their selection be sparse? Yes– that means they are good so get there earlier… worth it. Will you regret not buying more? Yes — buy at least a half dozen… worth it!
My favorites are the lamars bar, chocolate glazed, and plain cake donut. The long johns are amazing so get there early to make sure you get some before they are gone. The donuts are always so moist and delicious.
The coffee is hot and the donuts are delish. What more could you want?

I needed some doughnuts for hungry clients and Lamar’s was in close proximity. The service was friendly and pastries quite tasty. The bill seemed a bit high, though. In all, this was a good experience and I’ll be sure to return when the need arises.

I am a self proclaimed donut snob, and Lamar’s (w)holey met and exceeded my expectations! Lamar’s certainly «donut» deserve only 3.5 stars! I had a hot cinnamon glazed cake donut, and it seriously melted in my mouth! The staff was friendly and the facilities clean! For a warm, fresh, classic donut, Lamar’s puts voodoo to shame! They’ve captured the essence of sweet simplicity with their delectable (w)holy creations, and «Donut» delay, come get a donut at Lamar’s today!

Good donuts, excellent and friendly service. Denver has a serious shortage of donut shops, so I am happy to make a short drive out of downtown to Lamar’s.

I just have to say how much I like donuts — this place is right by my work and I love getting a latte and a yummy donut– I like the chicks that work here too… super nice to me… only bad thing is they close early — wth I need a tasty treat in the afternoon … Oh well I still love it …

It is such a shame that I have to leave a 2 star review here.
With more than 80 years in the business of donut making, you expect them to have the best donuts here in Denver.
Unfortunately, I had horrible donuts just the other day. Oh I don’t know what I did to be punished with a stale donut and overly sweet glaze that made my tooth ache. I was disappointed.
Furthermore, there donut shelves were almost empty. Only a few selections were available. Well, it seems like business isn’t doing well, which is not a surprise because their donuts are really bad.

Second to none doughnuts, but VooDoo might be their competition. Very good doughnuts and really affordable options. Right next to the 6^th freeway, so a pretty nice pit stop before taking a long trip west of Denver. Wish you didn’t run out so fast sometimes, but it happens when tasty doughnuts are on display. Staff is friendly, so keep up the good work guys…

Delicious! Would go again and recommend as well. Good prices, service and clean shop.

I am a very infrequent donut eater. Usually only if I’m frustrated/​anxious about something and feel like I deserve a very rare calorie splurge to make myself feel better. After a totally frustrating trip to West bumf**k Lakewood pursuing a useless warranty claim this A.M. I’m driving back to Denver and pass the Lamar’s at 6^th and Santa Fe. There is a rare parking place in their tiny lot so I jump on it.
It’s only 9:45 a.m. but the selection is already very limited but I snag a cream cheese filled Lamar bar and a lemon filled bismarck — $ 4.52. Both were honestly pretty tasteless except boy were they «make my teeth ache» sweet. Didn’t finish either one. Counter girls were sweet and efficient though and I didn’t have to stand in line for an hour like at Voodoo.
I honestly don’t think Lamar’s are any better than Safeway’s ($ 1 for two with Safeway card) and three times the price — meh. I think I am probably just not much of a donut aficionado.

I was «glazed and infused» trying the the pumpkin glazed donut and the Bavarian infused chocolate donut, both were delightfully delicious, not too sweet but a taste bud explosion! If looking for a sweet bite in the area, don’t miss out– you also have to try the apple fritter it is ridiculous!

Have to downgrade this Lamar’s location.
When you’re a «Donut» store, at 10 am on a SATURDAY, and your shelves are EMPTY?
It’s a joke.
I don’t eat doughnuts very often, and I’d like to know that the store I go to on the rare occasion that I want one will actually HAVE them. So, this Lamar’s is off my list.

So I came here for the first time a few weeks ago and was fully prepared to write a 4-​star review for Lamar’s until we came back today.
It’s 10 A.M. on a Saturday and we walk in and Lamar’s is literally cleaned out of donuts. One rack of chocolate glaze and sugar are all they have and cases of empty racks. We ask them if they have any more they are making and told quite bluntly, «No. This is all we have.»
Really, Lamar’s? You’re kidding, right? It’s Saturday morning and you aren’t making ANY more donuts? I mean you ARE a donut business are you not?
Apparently not.
We walked out and drove to a nearby Winchell’s since Lamar’s is obviously having a going-​out-​of-​business sale. At least they were FULLY loaded with fresh baked donuts and a helluva better selection.
Should change their name to LAME-​ars.

Walking through the doors of LaMar’s Donuts is like traveling through time; where inflation has run rampant, the dollar has crumbled, and a dozen doughnuts costs $ 17. What’s that, you say? It’s still 2013? When did donuts get so expensive? If I didn’t already feel bad about my fat self by buying a dozen doughnuts, now I have to explain it to my bank account.
And apparently telling someone at LaMar’s to «mix it up» when getting a dozen doughnuts is like telling a bartender to «surprise me». Thanks for 8 different varieties of glazed donuts, a lot of imagination went into that selection. Had I not requested some maple bars and a jelly, I would have a dozen glazed donuts. Maybe a cake doughnut would have been nice. Maybe one of those pink ones over there. Sprinkles, perhaps? Put some color in there!
The doughnuts were good, but does a bad doughnut exist? Not your small town doughnut shop, just your typical fast food chain doughnut shop with fast food style customer service.

I picked up a dozen of the manager’s special for some co-​workers on my last day of work. For $ 15, I had 6 of the biggest donuts I think I had ever seen… or any of my coworkers had ever seen. It was really like getting two dozen, since everyone cut theirs in half. My co-​workers loved them. The staff is always fast in the early morning.
The donuts themselves: yummy. I don’t eat a lot of donuts as I stick to healthier food fare, but every once in a while, these just hit the spot.

Whoa. There’s a lotta fried dough up in this place. And a lot of flavors too.
On a recent brutally early morning I decided a sugar rush would be a perfect pick me up so I swung into Lamar’s Donuts and picked up a half dozen of the treats for me, some friends, and for me later. They are clearly getting into the fall spirit as one of the offerings was pumpkin spice which went promptly into Sir Nicholas’ tummy as he looooves pumpkin. I managed to get a sour dough old fashioned donut though and man was it delicious.
I will be back.

For donuts as big as your head!
These puppies are way too sweet. The donuts taste like they are made of 90% sugar. I got there at 9am and they were down to 5 donut choices. I asked, «Why don’t you have more donuts?» and the clerk said, «We’ve been busy this morning.»
Really? A Tuesday, on a non-​holiday. It seems like better planning could be happening. The service was great, very sweet girl.
The coffee is comparable to McDonald’s. If you typically eat 2 to 3 donuts you’ll be glad to know you can order just one here and you may not be able to finish it. I’ve never seen donuts this big before.
In my humble opinion the price is a bit much for such average sugared bread. I’ve defiantly had much better donuts.
Oh, side note:
For 4 donuts the clerk had to see my ID before I could use my credit card, and checked my face to see that it was really me in the photo. Weird but whatever.
