Full menu

Yeast-raised

  • Chocolate long johnOblong raised donut topped with chocolate icing; a Midwest counter favorite with a bready bite and plenty of frosting per mouthful.
  • 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.

Cake donuts

  • 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.
  • 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.

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.
