    CHEF'S CHOICE

    • Donas De Mayo

      RAISED BRIOCHE

      Mezcal Lime Vanilla Bean Icing • Lime Coconut Sugar Crunch • White Chocolate Lime Truffle • Lime Zest • Sea Salt

      Giving you a vacation without leaving CDA, Donas de Mayo brings together zesty lime, vanilla, and a delicious mezcal. Our raised brioche donut is dipped in a special icing we make with that mezcal, along with lime, and vanilla bean, giving the glaze a clean citrus edge with that slightly smoky depth. A lime coconut sugar crunch made in house in a multi-day process is layered over the top for texture, while a white chocolate truffle infused with lime zest sits at the center. A light finish of sea salt rounds out 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.
