5 to Try: The Post wants your picks for best donuts in Johnson County 🍩

Mr. D’s Donuts in Shawnee have been serving up handmade, fresh donuts daily for more than 45 years at their shop on 75th Street. Current owners Johnny Chen and Boggie Otgonbayar recently launched a sister coffee shop in Lenexa. File image.

This week’s 5 to Try: donuts. Need we say more?

From the traditional metro standbys (LaMar’s) to trendy up-and-comers (Duck Donuts in Leawood Plaza) to established mom-and-pop operations (Fluffy Fresh in Mission), Johnson Countians have a lot of choices.
