Full menu

Yeast-raised

  • Maple barLong rectangular raised donut spread with maple-flavored icing; soft, chewy dough and a sweet, faintly woody topping popular on the West Coast.
  • Sprinkle ringYeast-raised ring topped with vanilla or strawberry icing and a heavy scatter of rainbow sprinkles that add a light crunch.
  • Glazed twistTwo strands of yeast dough twisted together, fried and glazed, giving more chewy edges and glaze-catching crevices than a standard ring.
  • Cinnamon sugar raisedWarm, fluffy yeast donut tossed in cinnamon sugar instead of glaze, with a grainy, sparkling coating over the soft interior.

Cake donuts

  • Chocolate cake donutDeep cocoa cake donut, plain or glazed, with a fine, tight crumb and a flavor somewhere between brownie and devil's food cake.
  • Powdered sugar cakePlain cake donut rolled in a thick coat of powdered sugar; soft, simple and guaranteed to leave a dusting behind.
  • Cinnamon crumbVanilla cake donut topped with a buttery cinnamon streusel and a drizzle of icing, adding crumbly texture to the tender base.
  • Red velvet cake donutCrimson cake donut with mild cocoa flavor and tangy cream cheese icing, often finished with a sprinkle of red cake crumbs.

Filled donuts

  • Bavarian creamYeast donut filled with a thick, pudding-like Bavarian cream and dusted with powdered sugar; rich, cool and lightly vanilla.
  • Lemon-filledGranulated-sugar-coated shell holding bright, tangy lemon curd; a sharp citrus counterpoint to the sweet fried dough.
  • Apple-filledFried yeast pocket filled with chunky spiced apple and rolled in sugar; soft and warm-tasting, a little like a hand pie.
  • PB&J donutYeast donut filled with grape jelly, topped with peanut butter icing and chopped peanuts for a sweet-salty lunchbox nod.
