SIGNATURE RAISED BRIOCHE

Fresh-Juiced Apple Icing • House-Made Apple Spice Compote • Crème Fraîche • Freeze-Dried Apple Crisp

Three different expressions of apple come together in this special Applepalooza creation.

Our raised brioche is dipped in a house-made apple icing, then topped with a rich apple compote that brings a deeper, cooked-fruit flavor.

A dollop of crème fraîche adds a cool, lightly tangy contrast to the sweetness of the apples. To finish, a thin slice of freeze-dried apple sits on top, bringing a delicate crunch and concentrated apple flavor.

From the icing to the compote to the crisp, each preparation brings something different to this seasonal donut.

Created especially for Applepalooza and available in limited quantities.

So whether you come see us tonight at Chalice Brewing or Apple Palooza this weekend, we look forward to being with you!

Both Lantern and Chalice Brewing have been wanting to collaborate for a long time, and we’re very pleased to finally be releasing this new b**r together at a fun party this Friday night! There will also be live music from 🅡🅒🅐

Our chef has also crafted a delicious donut pairing for this one night only, made with the Lantern L***r we created!

Please come join us this Friday night, October 16th 2026 starting at 7pm at Chalice Brewing in downtown Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Donut & B**r Pairings will be available to purchase, along with additional or standalone pours and donuts while they last!

Brian the owner and master brewer of Chalice found us only the best organic grains to use for this b**r.

Lantern has stood on quality of ingredients and Chalice and Lantern share our desire to create delicious things for people that don’t compromise on quality.

There are no artificial flavors or other gross stuff in this b**r. Only great grains, some light hops, and incredible Costa Rica cold brew coffee we sourced and roasted in house here at Lantern Donuts.

We got to be a part of the whole brew process from grain to glass with Brian. He’s a wealth of knowledge and experience and cares so much about each b**r he creates.

Being able to choose our own hops and weigh in on the entire process while leaning on his incredible expertise was such a treat.

We sampled everything from the toasted grains, to after they were ground, to the fresh mash and at every step tasted and enjoyed.

There’s so much work and special timing that goes into creating a batch of b**r and Brian kept things flowing smoothly, making sure to monitor every detail.

Stirring the mash as it cooks takes some strength and our general manager Kevan we leveraged for his muscle while we stood around taking pictures and chatting with Brian 😏

The golden brown color on the b**r was phenomenal. The colors of the bubbles playing off the oils in the grains.

Beautiful.

The finished product is a delicious German Schwarzbier (dark l***r) that is easy and drinkable with a touch of sweetness on the nose.

It’s smooth and easy drinking with an amazing roasty coffee aftertaste from the Costa Rica cold brew i

Introducing Fig & Bleu.

Smoky 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. To create this donut, our signature raised brioche is dipped in a house-made bleu cheese icing, bringing a creamy semi-savory finish with a subtle smokiness.

Then, 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.

Made-to-order, and prepared in limited quantities while supplies last.

Introducing S’mores Campfire.

Vanilla Bean Cake Donut • Dark Chocolate Ganache Icing • Toasted Marshmallow Fluff • Burnt Rosemary Candy Crunch

Our house vanilla bean cake donut is dipped in a rich dark chocolate ganache, then topped with a marshmallow fluff thats made by our chef, and torched by hand on each donut for that familiar charred sweetness.

Burnt rosemary candy finishes the topping, made by burning fresh rosemary, blending it with organic raw sugar, and then freeze-drying it to create a satisfying sugar crunch that gets sprinkled on top. This extra touch brings that subtle smoky, almost pine-like note that together with the dark chocolate and toasted marshmallow, evokes those fall evenings around the campfire.

A s’more-inspired donut with just enough smoke and rosemary to make things interesting. Prepared in limited quantities daily.

Looking for a pairing? Our mocha is an excellent complement, made with our own in-house Belgian chocolate. Not too sweet, letting the espresso come through perfectly.

New signature espresso drinks (served iced or hot) at Lantern. Starting with our Sweet Potato Pumpkin Latte that’s perfect for fall. All made-in house, nothing artificial, and never too sweet, our espresso drinks use our own house-roasted coffee to present a coffee-forward latte that’s easy to drink and delicately balanced, topped with our chef-made marshmallow fluff that’s toasted on each drink by hand for a perfect charred sweetness.

Available daily while supplies last along with all our other incredible coffees from espresso classics like Cortado, or Mocha, to drip coffee and special offerings.

Be sure to ask about our seasonal pour overs. We have some really rare and delicious coffees only available as made-to-order pour overs in our shop on Sherman Avenue.

Our Caramel Apple C***r Latte is typically served iced, but can be made hot if you like. The house-made caramel sauce and apple c***r syrup are all our own, made with the care and quality ingredients you’ve come to expect from Lantern. Maple Apple C***r Cold Foam finishes this latte for a sweet start to your drink.

Available while supplies last, October 2026.

Introducing the Lantern Apple Fritter. A lot of people have been asking us to do a fritter for a long time. And we’re very proud to finally present our first elevated take on this classic donut offering. Please enjoy.

A three-day process goes into every Lantern Apple Fritter we create.

On day one we gather organic Gravestein, Jonagold, and Honeycrisp apples, and hand peel, slice, and marinate them in brown sugar, cinnamon, a pinch of anise, salt and a delicious cask-strength Bourbon Wh***ey from our friends at Firewater Distillery - Rainfire Spirits - an incredibly delicious bourbon that’s been finished in Red Mountain cabernet sauvignon w**e barrels. These chef-selected, fresh-cut apples marinate at least 12 hours overnight in this incredible mixture.

Then, the next day, the apples are tossed in with pieces of our signature brioche dough and left overnight once again, to infuse a bit and let the incredible flavors combine.

On day three, early in the morning our chef portions them into exact proportions, proofing and finally frying them precisely to get that classic fritter crunch on the outside, while preserving our premium bakery-style signature brioche consistency inside. Once they cool a bit, they’re dipped in our Rainfire Bourbon Butterscotch Glaze, made with that same incredible bourbon selection, and our chef’s special recipe of brown sugar, cream, butter, salt, and vanilla.

Available in limited quantities, warm and ready for you at 7:30am until supplies run out.

Best enjoyed fresh. Pairs beautifully with our brand new Dolce Salé Petite Latte, or any of our premium espresso drinks. Bite into it or pull it apart in classic fritter fashion.

Even better when shared with a friend, Lantern Donuts’ Apple Fritter is incredible. Particularly when it’s warm and fresh.

Here for you starting this very special Fritter Friday, September 18th, 2026. And during normal business hours every day until we run out.

Based on all the questions we’ve gotten about this donut, we’re guessing this will be pretty popular.

So make sure to grab one early!

Introducing Peachy King. A Lantern Donuts Limited Tasting Experience. Made-To-Order and available three days only September 3-5, 2026 or until supplies run out.

Raised Brioche • Peach Bourbon Icing • Fresh Peach Flower • Ginger Cream Cheese Frosting • Candied Ginger Sugar Crunch

The Peachy King starts with our raised brioche, dipped in a house-made peach bourbon icing that brings together the best local ripe peach flavor, with the warmth and depth of bourbon.

Fresh sliced peaches are arranged in a flower added over the top, followed by ginger cream cheese frosting for a rich, lightly spiced contrast.

A candied ginger sugar crunch finishes the donut, carrying that ginger through with a sharper bite and added texture against the soft brioche and fresh fruit.

Made to order this week only while supplies last, and best enjoyed fresh.

Introducing a Lantern Donuts Limited Tasting Experience

GRAPEFRUIT BUZZ
Raised Brioche • Grapefruit Honey Icing • Candied Ginger • Candied Black Sesame Seeds • Buzz Button Flower

The Grapefruit Buzz is more than a donut — it’s a unique culinary experience designed to change as you eat it.

Our signature raised brioche donut is dipped in a grapefruit honey icing, bringing together fresh citrus and the natural sweetness of honey. Candied ginger adds a warm bite, while candied black sesame seeds bring a lightly toasted flavor and added texture.

But the buzz button flower or “electric daisy” as it’s sometimes known, is where things get interesting. Start by taking a bite of the donut on its own, considering the flavors, then eat the flower. The flower creates a tingling, heightened sensation across the palate, changing the way you experience the grapefruit, honey, ginger, and sesame with each bite that follows. One person who tried said it was like all of the sudden tasting in 3D. Everyone’s experience is different.

Take your time with this one. The Grapefruit Buzz was created to be tasted in this specific sequence and experienced from beginning to end.

Featured as a limited seasonal culinary creation at Lantern and prepared in extremely limited quantities, Saturday August 15th, 2026. Currently we plan to have only 24 of these donuts experiences available.

Series 01 • Forest Flavors continues as a limited Lantern Donuts experience. Huckleberry is now on the menu (more info coming soon)

EXCLUSIVELY HAND-FORAGED IN NORTH IDAHO.

Forest Flavors are All Wild. Some Weird. All Wonderful.
SPRING/SUMMER 2026

We have an incredible forager who is going out into the deep mountains of North Idaho and bringing us local forest ingredients to make donuts out of all spring and summer. Think everything from Morels to berries, to Fiddlehead Fern, and Yarrow.

Anything edible and delicious.

No pre-orders, and these won’t be on Doordash. The only way to get one is to come in to Lantern and try them.

We’re also only making about a dozen each day, and depending on the ingredient, they may only be available for 1-3 weeks.

We’ll be keeping track of every flavor we release at lanterndonuts.com > donuts > forest flavors.

Our latest donuts in this series feature the incredible flavors of Huckleberry and Yarrow. More to come soon showcasing these two delicious new offerings.

Introducing Garden Strawberry.

Fresh Made-In-House North Idaho Organic Strawberry Icing • Strawberry & Basil Candy • Country Cream • Fresh Garden Basil Drizzle • Fresh Organic Strawberry Garnish

A brand new Chef’s Choice for the summer while it lasts. It all stars with our pillowy raised brioche donut, and celebrates one of summer’s most familiar pairings: Ripe strawberries and fresh basil.

We dip the donut in a house-made strawberry icing made with hyper local North Idaho organic strawberries, then top that with a strawberry and basil candy that brings both fruit and herb together in every bite. A generous fill of country cream in the center, made from crème fraîche, sour cream, yogurt, and cream, adds richness and depth and offsets the sweetness before a slice of fresh strawberry completes the build.

Bright, creamy, and built around the flavors of peak strawberry season.

Featured as our Chef’s Choice selection and prepared in limited quantities.
