A new doughnut business has just taken over this old Wichita Sonic building
There’s another doughnut shop in town, and it opened last week inside an old Sonic building on North Broadway that’s been vacant since 2014.
The Donut Palace is part of a chain that has stores all over the region, including in Arkansas City and Augusta. The owner of Wichita’s is Dallas-based.
There’s no seating in the shop, which is at 1235 N. Broadway: It’s a grab-and-go sort of place. But there is a drive-through. The shop’s hours are 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
I stopped in to take a look at what it had to offer, and the doughnuts look Daylight-style, with lots of frosted cake and raised doughnuts as well as big cinnamon rolls, apple and cherry fritters and bear claws. The menu also includes long johns, twists and filled jelly doughnuts.
The bakery is stocked with muffins, and the menu also lists sausage rolls, biscuits and gravy, croissant and biscuit breakfast sandwiches and beverages like coffee, hot chocolate, milk, tea and soda.
A mixed dozen costs $11.99. Doughnuts range from about 70 cents to $1.59 apiece. A dozen doughnut holes cost $1.50.
