“Think of it as the ultimate summer mixtape — each donut is a track that’ll take you back to those golden days,” Lucas said. “Back to the aroma of cookouts, the excitement of the fair, that one dessert everyone fought over at family picnics, and those sun-soaked Saturdays with no school in sight. Our donuts aim to bring those memories to life.”
Venturing into the savory territory was always part of their master plan. On Friday, they will introduce two savory donuts:
- Grillin’ N’ Chillin’ (Similar to a jalapeño popper, it has a kick with a torched jalapeño then a cooling cream cheese glaze, bacon and a pinch of sea salt)
- Stuff Your Pie Hole (A pizza donut featuring pizza sauce, cheese and a pepperoni)
“We’re all about pushing the flavor envelope. Expect the unexpected and keep your taste buds on high alert,” Lucas said. “Whatever it is, you can bet it’ll be fun, a little crazy, but utterly delicious. Our future plans include more savory surprises that’ll make you question everything you thought you knew about donuts.”

Other unique donuts available include:
- Hot Mess Express (A spicy donut with a cream cheese glaze and Hot Cheetos)
- The Boardwalk (A donut covered with vanilla glaze and cotton candy bits)
- Lick Me, Ice Cream (A donut covered with vanilla glaze, crushed waffle cones, sprinkles and a cherry on top)

The Local’s Only, a collaboration with Uncle Boof’s World Famous Pancake Mix, will return this weekend after its debut in April at the Sugar Maple Festival in Bellbrook.
“The Dayton community is simply incredible,” Lucas said. “Every time we set up shop and see the line stretching out, it’s a pinch-me moment. We’re beyond grateful for the enthusiasm and support — we literally couldn’t do it without y’all. You’re not just making our donut dreams a reality; you’re part of them!”
