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

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.
Blueberry cakePurple-flecked cake donut flavored with blueberry and glazed all over; moist, close crumb with a fruity, slightly jammy taste.

Filled donuts

Boston creamRound yeast shell piped full of vanilla custard and topped with glossy chocolate frosting, echoing the classic Boston cream pie.
Jelly-filledSugar-dusted pillow of fried dough filled with raspberry or strawberry jelly that tends to escape with the first bite.
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.
