Where: Lamar's in Mission KS
When: Monday, December 29th, 2014
Now I have been to the Lamar's in Lincoln many times and never been super impressed but the hubby thought the one we passed in Mission KS may have been the original one. It was quite old looking and not very chainy at all. Plus it was near a street called Lamar so it would reason to be the one that started them all.
Anyways, we pull up at 11:50. The open sign is on and there are people inside. Yet the door is dead bolted. It is now 11:53. Plenty of donuts visible through the window. Have I ever told you one of my biggest pet peeves? When businesses close before the time it says on the door. Stick to your hours! How long does it take to let two people order two donuts and pay in cash? I'm not talking about walking into Target 15 minutes before closing and trying on every dress they have. I just want my donuts. But I digress.
I inquired about maple donuts because they had a tray labeled maple but appeared to be chocolate. She assured me it was maple and that it just didn't look like maple today. I'd never gotten a Lamar's maple because the stores in Lincoln dot actually carry them. I think it was so dark because the sugar had started to carmelize.
The half eaten donut is the maple. The hubby didn't like it at all. I thought it was interesting. I'd say 3/5.
