Flying Donuts

I have to agree with other reviewers. Flying Donuts has the BEST apple fritters — gooey on the inside, slightly crispy on the outside, and more spiced apples than any other apple fritter I’ve ever had. Looking at the reviews, it looks like I need to try their pinecones and PB Knots. I also like that they have the mini apple fritters and donuts, so if you want a little indulgence without all the calories.
Now, the ambiance of the place is nothing to write home about. It’s definitely a takeout donut shop.

In many respects, Flying Donuts is a pretty typical donut shop — you got your fritters, you got your bear claws, you got your frosted whatnots filled with whatever. But then you see something on the shelf that looks like a Mobius strip, twisted around itself in a knot, and you get intrigued. Turns out it’s a peanut butter knot, and the fluffy decadent pastry balances is covered in a nutty and sweet frosting that you don’t want to stop eating. It’s like Flying Donuts is this storefront for an ancient medicine man that has to invite you to the back of his shop where he hides the good stuff. Luckily you don’t have to be part of any special club to get the special donuts here: all you have to do is look on the shelf for the craziest-​looking sweets and ask them to put them in a box for you.

Best Donuts in town!!! Big and tasty with a wide variety of different types of donuts.

Great donut shop they make fritters and tiny donuts. Very innovative. Plus all the standard glaze, cake etc

I got there just an hour before closing, so there wasn’t much selection. The clerk said the baker was new, which was supposed to explain why some of the donuts were huge, and some were very small, so I got two very tiny ones, for the price of one. I don’t know if it happened by accident, or on purpose, but the clerk shortchanged me ten dollars — I guess I shouldn’t have paid a $ 12 bill with a $ 50 dollar bill. I even thought she counted it back strangely, but didn’t noticed I was shortchanged till after I left the store, so nothing I could do about it.

Flying Donuts makes the best apple fritter ever, with a perfect crispy crust and full of gooey, spicy apples– a really decadent treat! The mini cake donuts are also delicious! Highly recommend.

I love the donuts here. The owner is very sweet but yesterday I had a super grouchy lady wait on me. The lady had different colors in her hair. So if the owner reads this, you must know that customer service was very bad. Maybe she was tired cause she was up all night making donuts and I understand that but that’s your job! Being in business takes being a friendly relationship person. If you are the girl with the multi colored hair, please be mindful and appreciate those who keep you in business.

Small friendly place to get some donuts. I got a dozen donuts and got 12 donut holes for free! The donuts were quite large and fluffy and fresh! I would recxomend this place for sure. My wife wanted Krispy Kreme and I got these she said they were just as good. I say better than.

If you have not stopped by Flying Donuts you are missing out on some great treats! My personal favorites are the pinecones, peanut butter knot and the maple bacon donuts! We go just about every Saturday!

Based on how amazing the doughnuts are this should be a 5. Based on the fact that 2 out of the last 3 times I’ve tried to buy doughnuts they’re already closed by 10:00am because they’ve sold out, I needed to drop some stars. Today I watched 5 other cars pull up and leave just while I was in the parking lot. Message to Flying Donut — You’re popular. If you make more donuts, you’ll make more $. But you’re helping me stay to my diet, so thanks I guess.

«Best donuts in Wichita!»

Stopped in this morning to buy donuts for my band as we passed through town. I had the pine cone and the Apple Fritter and was really impressed. Hands down the best apple fritter I’ve ever had. I had to take pictures and tease my family back in Texas because apple fritters are favorite kind of donut. I might even have to go back before we leave to get some more fritters!

I have been to donut shops in many big and small cities, and I can confidently say that this is my favorite donut shop. The peanut butter knot with chocolate haunts me in my dreams, and I haven’t had a kolache this good since I lived in Texas.

This place is terrific! My daughter and I love our Friday morning donut fix at Flying Donuts. The glazed blueberry is to die for. Apple fritters are the best I’ve ever had. My wife & I just returned from Portland where we went to the famous Voodoo donuts. Cool place but donuts don’t hold a candle to this hometown gem!

I woke up this morning craving for donuts so I got on Unilocal to get some suggestions on a good donut shop in the area. After reading how people enjoyed the donuts at Flying Donuts I decided to try it out. I am not a huge peanut butter person, but I think I just found my new addiction — the peanut butter knot. The peanut butter flavor is not overwhelming just a perfect amount of peanut butter inside the dough. The knotted portion of the donut provides a little crunch/​crisp texture. I opted for the peanut butter knot with chocolate drizzle — so good! I also purchased a bear claw and a maple bar, both were pretty tasty. This place is now my go to donut shop :)

It’s a small shop with always the same people behind the counter. I absolutely love their peanut butter knot. It’s more like a mix of a croissant and dough mix with an amazing peanut butter icing. I prefer the one with chocolate on it also. Their pine cones are the best in town. I don’t feel like anyone ever puts enough cinnamon in them but at Flying Donuts they are spiced perfectly. I wish they had a soda fountain for my breakfast fix.

Best donuts in town hands down! You’ll have to try the apple fritters. Oh, and don’t forget you get a free dozen donut holes with every dozen donuts.

Great fritters. Love the kolaches. Very friendly staff.

They have kolaches! I had a Bavarian cream donut and it was divine. Really cool décor and very friendly employees. Go there!!!

Flying Donuts recently celebrated their 2-​year anniversary and I hope they are in business for many more. I am fortunate to live less than 1 mile away which makes it easy to get donuts here. There are a few donuts they serve that are my favorites which include the bear claw, cinnamon twist, and peanut butter knot. What makes the donuts here good is they are very large and fluffy. The glaze on the donuts like the regular glazed, bear claw, and cinnamon twist cracks and little pieces fall off. I admit that they are so good I find myself picking up the little pieces and eating them once my donut is gone.
Here are a few of the highlights you will find at Flying Donuts. The bear claw is filled with apple filling and if there was a bear out there that had claws that big I wouldn’t want to meet it. The cinnamon sugar donut comes with enough cinnamon sugar coating to that it crunches in your teeth. Make sure and check the case for special donuts that are occasionally available such as bacon and maple or the s’mores donut.
The staff is always very friendly, helpful, and quick to serve you. There are a few tables inside if you want to eat your donut there. Or if you get it to go they are very careful to bag them without smashing your donuts.
