I was surprised by the staff! As in ... They are well staffed with folks who aim to please with a smile. Also, bear claws? Big as your face. And yummy.

So happy to find something 100 times better than Dunkin' Donuts in this town! I've always loved a good donut and LaMar's does them well. The apple spice donut is good as well as the cinammon twists. My only small problem with LaMar's is that I went in for the first time and the guy asked if I wanted to start a LaMar's rewards card. I did so he said that thre would be a free donut and a free drink on it the next time I came in. I was passing by the other day and figured I'd go get my free donut. I ended up getting more than one so I was expecting to spend money anyway. When I got to the register, I told the guy that I should have a free one on my card and he said I didn't. I told him that it was the first time I used it and he apologized and said there wasn't a free one on there. Oh well.

Great donuts, every time! Please don't let your teenage workers eat donuts beyond the counter when we come in... Kinda gross... Thanks.

Think Shipley's style donuts but done by a craftsman. They were well staffed and and had a good space. The variety of donuts was creative and well done. You could tell these were not your "Donut Palace" small town box mix donuts. They were fluffy, big, and had good flavor.

Is it possible for a donut to be too fresh? 'Cuz the thing I love the most about my favorite type of donut -- old fashioned -- is the satisfying crunch of the fried nooks and crannies ... and I seriously have to let my Lamar's old fashioned sour cream donuts sit out all day (if I can manage to) for them to develop that crunch. On the other hand, I have now come to appreciate the French crueller -- no, it's not meant to be a dry, hollow shell of a donut, but a crispy crenulated exterior with a custardy interior. Yum!

Lamar's has to be the nicest donut shop I've ever been in. It's modern, clean and inviting. We decided to make this our lunch stop and shared a chocolate bar, a glazed raspberry filled donut (the options are glazed or iced) and a strawberry cake donut. The chocolate bar and filled donut were much larger than what I'm used to. The dough was light and fluffy. The raspberry filling is the best I have had so far. In other places, a typical fruit filling is just colored sugar gel, but Lamar's filling has real raspberries in it. The strawberry cake donut contains bits of strawberry which make it look very attractive, though they don't add anything to the donut. It's refreshing to come upon a donut shop that is actually inviting. All the ones I have been to are usually run-down, outdated and make me look twice before sitting down. Customer service was a bit brusque but they were busy. I'd like to come back to check out the blueberry filled donut next time.

Honestly, it's a sad state of affairs when a town the size of Fort Collins has but one real donut shop. Sure, there are plenty of prefab "bakeries"--like the frozen stuff you can get at the grocery stores or places like Panera or Corner Bakery. And there are also a couple places trying to do a more upscale version (e.g., French pastries--typically overpriced but underwhelming). That being said, Lamar's is a really good place for a donut. Prices and selection are good, and the place is always clean and comfortable. They have a nice variety of your typical donut shop offerings as well as several oversized specialties--like bear claws and apple fritters. A couple of our favs are the standard, glazed old-fashioned and the creme-filled long john (key word here being "filled"--almost too much of a good thing!!). And, if you have little ones along, they have the requisite offerings smothered in multi-colored sprinkles. Don't get me wrong--there's absolutely nothing to complain about here. You shouldn't have any trouble satisfying your donut cravings at Lamar's. But still, I really yearn for a good, old-fashioned, local bakery where everything is made from scratch without all the trappings of franchising (except, of course, Krispy Kreme, but that's a whole different donut!!).

The prices are a bit high but the donuts are pretty good. I like the glazed blueberry bismarks and the pumpkin cake donuts. We don't go often but it's nice every now and then.

Discount for being the last straggling donut crazed customers of the day, samples since we had never been in before, and they followed us out to make sure we had enough napkins!?!?! (ok, and to lock the door, cuz they really were closing) But seriously! Holy customer service pants! Banana cake donut. Like WOAH.

Very good (obviously) and big but they're a little on the sweet side and that's coming from a sugar addict. That being said, I often do make the quick trip for their fresh sugar bombs.

Probably the best donuts Fort Collins has to offer. Nuff Said. Maybe that is why that lame donut store downtown went out of business and that they were never open.

You'd think the original cake donut would catch some flack after being so plain, or iced, or sprinkled, or glazed for so many years. One would hope that a local place would take charge and bend the rules a bit. The bacon donut works for Voodoo in Portland. But you can't blame Lamar's though, they've still got a line out the door everytime I go by there. Not much to it - your typical donut place, house blend coffee, and a bunch of seniors just hangin' out - Reason #1 that I can't wait to be that old, sitting around eating donuts all day, then off to yell at those "meddling kids." Still though, would like to see a bit more creativity, but the strawberry frosted with sprinkles still works for now.

Great service great food great donuts. Since we're the only place in town and get fresh donuts. These aren't any sissy donuts either they're gianormous! I'll definitely stop in again to get some more donuts.

Their donuts are really, really good, as is their service, but we recently went there, and we were the only ones in the place, yet every table was dirty...as was the floor. The three employees were just standing around talking instead of cleaning. It was a little off-putting.

Homemade yumminess. Service was great - they made a particular kind on request for us and added sprinkles for my kiddo.

ONO donuts! The glaze are amazing as well as the maple bars. The donuts are good sized and they are reasonably priced. The cake donuts are also good but I prefer the glazed. The bear claws are also good and delicious. They have a loyalty rewards program that helps frequent donut buyers get free stuff. They are open for breakfast and lunch basically. Give them a try and you will not be disappointed. These are the best donuts in FoCo.

Some of the best donuts I've ever had! The smoothie was delicious also - definitely try the mango smoothie. I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't rate that but I've liked all the donuts I've tried so far! I would definitely go again and recommend them to a friend!

I love coming here for their chocolate glazed donuts! My favorite type. I really like their reward card too. I got a free donut out of it (first time users get that deal). In comparison though, they aren't the best I ever had. I think Krispy Kreme (when I visited LA) is better when I get their original glazed donuts fresh.

Tina H.
Came to check this place out based on the reviews. I got a few different donuts to taste -- the maple bar, raspberry bismarck, devil's food, and vanilla sprinkle donuts were all delicious, and it took a lot of self control to not eat all four in their entirety. The iced coffee, unfortunately, was very poor quality -- a ton of grounds in it. But the donuts were a tasty treat!

Neither bad nor overly impressive. It's easy to be the city's best donut shop when there isn't any competition.

No other donut in the world compares to a Rays Original Glazed.... And I've tried a lot of donuts! It's fluffy with the right amount of sweetness - so delicious. Plus, as of now, they deliver! Not the quickest delivery service, but it's pretty cool to have donuts delivered to your meetings; who's employee of the month now?
