Something our regulars know and new guests come to appreciate pretty quickly:
Most donut shops charge extra for Cinnamon Rolls, Eclairs, Boston, Pretzels, Twists, Angel Cream, Red Velvet, Cherry Old Fashioned, and other specialty donuts. We don't. They're all the same price as a Glazed Square, and so are our LTOs.
Our Daily Specials (like the Apple Fritter) and holiday novelty donuts (like the Heart Shaped) do cost a little more. And we're confident you'll find them worth the splurge.
You can always find our full assortment, current LTOs, pricing, and discounts at donutden.com

Our April LTO Donut Pie is here — Cinnamon Raisin!
Cinnamon and raisins baked throughout, filled with our custard, and finished with a maple drizzle. It serves 6–8 and tastes like the best parts of a cinnamon raisin morning.
Available for a limited time only. Stop on by, or order ahead at donutden.com. Check the sample box to give it a taste.

04/01/2026
We bake Hot Cross Donuts daily during Lent — cinnamon, raisins, and all the good stuff in one of our favorite seasonal creations. So, Easter Sunday will be the last day. And once they’re gone, they’re gone until next year. Stop on by, or add them to your Easter order at donutden.com.
03/29/2026
Easter Sunday is one week away — and our Egg-Shaped Donuts will be ready for your basket.
