MADE-TO-ORDER

  • The Affogato

    RAISED BRIOCHE WITH SEMIFREDDO

    Espresso Icing • Vanilla Bean Semifreddo • Candied Almonds • Cocoa Powder

    Inspired by the classic Italian affogato, this donut brings together coffee and cream in a single build. Our raised brioche donut is dipped in an espresso icing made to highlight the rich character of freshly roasted coffee. A scoop of vanilla bean semifreddo is placed on top, providing a smooth, frozen contrast to the warm coffee notes below. Candied almonds add texture and a subtle nuttiness, while a dusting of cocoa powder finishes the donut.

  • Fig & Bleu

    RAISED BRIOCHE WITH BRÛLÉED FIGS

    Smokey Blue Cheese Icing • Brûléed Black Mission Figs

    Fig and blue cheese have long been paired for their contrast of sweet fruit and rich, savory flavor. Our raised brioche is dipped in a house-made Smokey Blue cheese icing, bringing a creamy finish with a subtle smokiness. To finish, ripe Black Mission figs are sliced, rolled in sugar, and torched until caramelized. The brûléed fruit adds concentrated sweetness and a delicate sugar crunch against the savory blue cheese icing.

CHEF'S CHOICE

  • 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.

  • Lavender Love

    RAISED BRIOCHE

    Vanilla Bean Icing • Lavender Icing Stripe • House-Made White Chocolate Lavender Truffle • Gold Dust

    Lavender and vanilla are a natural pairing, and this Chef’s Choice lets both come through. Our raised brioche is dipped in vanilla bean icing with a stripe of lavender icing across the top, giving the donut a soft floral flavor without losing the richness of the vanilla. In the center, we place a white chocolate lavender truffle made from scratch in-house. The white chocolate gives the lavender a creamy, rich base, with a dusting of gold to finish.

  • The Lantern Apple Fritter

    RAISED BRIOCHE - LIMITED AVAILABILITY

    Raised Brioche • Organic Sugar, Spice, and Rainfire Bourbon Marinated Apples • Rainfire Bourbon and Butterscotch Glaze

    Our first take on the classic apple fritter takes three days to make. Organic Gravenstein, Jonagold, and Honeycrisp apples are hand-peeled and marinated overnight with brown sugar, cinnamon, a touch of anise, and cask-strength Rainfire Bourbon. The apples are then folded into our raised brioche and rested overnight once more. Each fritter is proofed and fried for a crisp exterior and soft brioche center, then dipped in a house-made Rainfire Bourbon butterscotch glaze.

    RAISED BRIOCHE FILLED

    Sweet potato becomes the base for a smooth, house-made custard flavored with cinnamon and filled generously into our raised brioche donut. It’s rich and creamy and perfectly balanced sweet, allowing the natural flavor of the sweet potato and warm spice to come through. Each donut is finished with a generous dusting of nutmeg sugar, adding another layer of fall spice to the soft brioche and custard.

    ZUCCHINI CARROT CAKE DONUT

    Fresh Juiced Organic Carrot Icing • Lightly Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting • Candied Pecans

    Our take on classic carrot cake starts with a zucchini carrot cake donut—soft, rich, and warmly spiced. It’s dipped in a house-made juiced organic carrot icing, then topped with a lightly whipped cream cheese frosting that adds richness without becoming too heavy. Candied pecans finish the donut with a caramelized crunch and a touch of nuttiness in every bite.
