CHEF'S CHOICE

  • Garden Strawberry

    RAISED BRIOCHE

    Strawberry Icing • Strawberry & Basil Candy • Country Cream • Fresh Organic Strawberries

    Garden Strawberry celebrates one of summer’s most familiar pairings—ripe strawberries and fresh basil. Our raised brioche donut is dipped in a house-made strawberry icing, then topped with a strawberry and basil candy that brings both fruit and herb together in every bite. A generous layer of country cream, made from crème fraîche, sour cream, yogurt, and cream, adds richness and depth before fresh strawberries complete the build.

  • Crème Brûlée

    RAISED BRIOCHE FILLED

    Vanilla Bean Custard • Caramelized Sugar Top Hat

    This Creme Brûlée donut is unlike any you've ever seen, as it's done the Lantern Donuts way. That means expertly crafted by our pastry chef with clean, organic ingredients. In other words, it's our take on the classic French dessert, in elevated donut form. Chef Paul begins by making a classic, thick vanilla bean custard. We then fill our signature raised brioche dough with that house-made vanilla bean creme. Finally, we generously dip the donut in an expertly caramelized molten sugar, allowing it to cool into a thick, hard sugar signature top hat for an extremely satisfying crack and crunch.
