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

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

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.
Apple-filledFried yeast pocket filled with chunky spiced apple and rolled in sugar; soft and warm-tasting, a little like a hand pie.
