Full menu

Yeast-raised

Glazed ringLight, airy yeast donut fried golden and dipped in a thin vanilla glaze that sets into a sheer, crackly sugar shell.
Chocolate iced ringClassic yeast ring with a smooth layer of chocolate frosting on top; pillowy dough with a fudgy, cocoa-forward finish.
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.

Cake donuts

Buttermilk barRectangular buttermilk cake donut with a crisp, glazed shell and a tangy, close-grained center that pairs well with drip coffee.
Old-fashionedSour cream cake donut with cracked, craggy edges that fry extra crisp, finished with a glaze that pools in every fissure.
Blueberry cakePurple-flecked cake donut flavored with blueberry and glazed all over; moist, close crumb with a fruity, slightly jammy taste.
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.

Filled donuts

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.
Boston creamRound yeast shell piped full of vanilla custard and topped with glossy chocolate frosting, echoing the classic Boston cream pie.
