Warning: Munchers Cream Cheese Doughnuts are addictive and should be consumed with caution. To the many Lawrencians who already have fallen prey to their clutches, the Journal-World apologizes for the late warning. These palm-sized envelopes of golden pastry surround a soft, dreamy, cream cheese surprise, and a smear of glaze on top adds just enough sugar.

Ease of access to these doughnuts creates additional risk for relapse — Munchers is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
