There is also a well-represented vegan constituency here, with plant-based varieties on the menu each and every day! This is unheard of with most Ohio bakeries, and we’re here for it.

But of all the varieties, the Butterscotch & Smoked Sea Salt donuts hold a very special spot in our hearts – and stomachs. These are like your classic glazed variety from, say, a certain alliterative national donut chain… but better. Way better. Next-level better.
