A delicious donut at Lantern starts with our pastry-chef-led approach.

And every day, our chef brings his holistic from-scratch approach and over 30 years of experience to create the very best donuts we can, so people in CDA have something unique to enjoy each day. That means familiar flavors done in unfamiliar, highly potent ways.

We're committed to using the freshest organic, regenerative, and local ingredients in all our food. Of course that means there are absolutely no seed oils, no glyphosate, no artificial dyes or flavorings, or anything else unnatural from a mix or a box.

Instead, we do things like getting fruit fresh from the farmers market and local suppliers. We’ll break it down by hand and use it to create our incredible frostings, glazes, and distinctive toppings. And our attention to detail doesn’t stop there.

Beyond our donuts, we’re also downtown Coeur d’Alene’s premium coffee roaster. Every coffee we have is carefully sourced by us, roasted in-house in our downtown location on Sherman Avenue, and served with exceptional care. We’re so excited to be bringing our distinctive coffees to the downtown Coeur d’Alene community.

It’s also not lost on us that we are the first dedicated donut shop ever on Sherman Avenue in Coeur d’Alene. It’s been a long time coming, so we're taking this very seriously and are here for the long haul. This isn’t just something we’re creating for the tourists (as much as we enjoy meeting people from all over the USA and the world here!).

No, our main focus is on our local space and our local people, because we love our town and we want to bring an elevated standard of hospitality and truly incredible and unique flavors for everyone to enjoy and feel good about.

So if you haven’t yet, and you’re a local, please join our VIP list. We will be doing special things for locals all throughout the year.

We look forward to serving you.

Love, Lantern Donuts
