The leaves are changing and the temperature is dropping but we’re still here. This is the first year in a while that we’ve been able to keep making and slinging doughnuts past the month of October, and that’s a milestone worth celebrating.

We’re bringing a little heat with our menu this week!
🌶️Jalapeno Cheddar, after two weeks of hiatus savory is back, filled with whipped cream cheese, roasted jalapeno and cheddar.

🍫Kinder Bueno is back and better! This flavor has been my personal quest this year because I really wanted to recreate that taste of the inside of a Kinder Bueno bar. And I think we finally got it! Filled with whipped milk chocolate cream filling with hazelnut butter made in house, then topped with a Kinder Bueno.

🔴Cranberry Orange, we’re slowly transitioning the menu into the holiday seasons and took one of your suggestions to do a cranberry orange jelly. If you like a little tartness, this one’s for you!

🎃Pumpkin Chai Cheesecake, pumpkin season is still going strong! filled with pumpkin cheesecake filling with warming chai spices, topped with chai caramel.

And last but not least Pandan Coconut is bacccck!!!! And so is Maple Cream for you who missed it last time 😋

As if the day and weather couldn’t be any more gorgeous, keep scrolling for some mood boosting snapshots from behind the scenes this week.

See you all soon!

The time has come! It has become our tradition that for one week (and one week only) in a year a portion of our doughnuts turn dark. For Halloween this year, we’re bringing you a Tim Burton inspired menu celebrating his incredible creativity, for the wonderfully strange worlds he’s created, and the beauty of being unapologetically unique through his iconic characters.

This is our first Halloween at our brick and
mortar, and we’re so excited to bring a little magic (and maybe a little darkness) to your visit this week. The cafe is decorated (nothing scary, we promise, and no tricks 😉) and our team has been working really hard behind the scenes to bring this menu to life. We’ve also increased production once again in hopes of having more doughnuts available and being able to serve more of you.

Last but not least, we can’t thank you enough for all the love and support you’ve shown us this year. It means so much to us, especially as we continue to grow and figure things out along the way. This first year has been one wonderfully spooky journey!

We can’t wait to see you on the other side real soon 👻

👨‍🎨 Huge credit to my brother Morris Ong the creative guy behind our awesome graphics and for always helping his sister out!

Because Fall is more than just pumpkins and apples 🍂

Goodbye summer, hello persimmon season!
It’s finally back on the menu for those of you who’ve been waiting. If you’ve never tried persimmon, it has a very subtle flavor and delicate notes somewhere between apricots and pumpkins and a little honey. We infused the jam with fresh rosemary for an extra layer of flavor.

We’re taking a little break from savory doughnuts this week, but hopefully, we have enough sweet options to keep everyone happy!

This menu is for this week only (Thursday 10/22–Saturday 10/24) because well, Halloween is right around the corner and we like to keep things fun over here 😉

See you all soon!

Every week we get asked what’s our favorite flavor for the week. It’s a tough question to answer and this week is not any easier 🫣

🥨 Salted Pretzel is back! Does anyone here remember this one? If you do, thank you for still being here! It’s been so long since we’ve had this on the menu.
If I had to choose a flavor that deserves a permanent spot on our menu, this would be one of them, one I’m really proud of (and I don’t say that often at all). There are so many steps that go into getting all that pretzel flavor, filled with pretzel infused custard. A twisted take on sweet and salty!

🍎 Spiced Apple is staying for at least another week (maybe two). It’s been our top seller for the past two weeks, so clearly we’re not ready to let it go yet. Made with our housemade spiced apple compote and topped with oatmeal streusel.

☕️ For those of you asking for Cup of Joe to come back you may have to wait a little longer. But for now hopefully Dirty Chai will hold you over, filled with espresso infused cream with chai spices.

🎃 Pumpkin Cheesecake because everyone wants pumpkin, and everyone wants cheesecake so here it is filled with spiced pumpkin cheesecake filling topped with torched meringue.

🥯And for savory, we’re sticking with the OG Everything Doughnut

Looks like we’re in for a beautiful few days and weekend with cooler mornings, and we can’t wait to see you!

A few snapshots from last week’s doughnuts from you 💌

One more round of these flavors (Guava, Fig&Honey Mascarpone, Bourbon Vanilla, Pandan Coconut, Malted Milk Chocolate, Classic, and savory Everything Doughnut) before we welcome Fall.

Special thanks to everyone who takes the time to take photos of our doughnuts. We love seeing them through your eyes. Big thanks to our crew who spend hours and hours of work behind every doughnut you see here, from feeding starters and making dough to filling and topping, and even the surprisingly complicated art of getting every doughnut to fit just right in the box.

We’re so grateful for all of you and can’t wait to see you this week! We’re open Thursdays and Fridays at 8 am and Saturdays at 9 am.

Still holding onto summer ☀️🍃

After three back to back themed menus, we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming. Though we finally get a little break from the heat, we’re not quite ready to dive into fall flavors just yet. It’s still summer after all, so we’re going to savor it a little longer.

• Guava Jelly, a very underrated fruit in my opinion, but one of my very personal favorites. And my favorite to make because the kitchen smells SO good while it’s cookin’!

• Bourbon Vanilla, a crowd pleaser last week, so we’re bringing it back, filled with bourbon vanilla sweet cream.

• Fig & Honey Mascarpone, double filled with summer fig jam and sweet honey mascarpone cream.

• Malted Milk Chocolate, whipped chocolate cream filling blended with rich, nostalgic chocolate malt.

• Everything, our OG savory favorite is back by popular demand for all of you who’ve been asking.

Oh, and Pandan Coconut is finally back on the menu too!

A pretty great lineup for a great end to the week. See you all soon!

This one is for Dolly 💖🦋👑

A little earlier post than usual for this week’s menu because we want to make sure we all have plenty of time to get ready.

My sister called me last week, right around the time we heard about Dolly Parton’s passing (mind you she hardly ever calls). She said, “please do a themed menu for Dolly.” I said, “done.” So this menu is a tribute to the one and only Dolly Parton, an icon, an inspiration, and someone who reminds us that kindness can go a long way. These flavors are inspired by her songs, her roots, and some of her favorite foods. We hope you enjoy them as much as we loved putting this menu together.

And because we can’t celebrate Dolly without celebrating what she gives back, together with your support, we’ll be donating $925 (9 to 5 🎶) from this week’s doughnut proceeds to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library that gifts free books to young children.

Thank you for being part of something bigger than doughnuts. Every doughnut you enjoy makes giving back to the community possible.

So come grab a doughnut, celebrate Dolly with us, and help us spread a little more love through books and doughnuts ❤️

An all-sweet menu for a sweet start to the school year 📚✏️🚌

The crew picked a very fun lineup inspired by nostalgic school day snacks and childhood favorites.
Fruity Pebbles for breakfast, Strawberry Milk and Fruit Cocktail for lunch, then Cookies & Cream or Nutella for an after school snack?!
And Cup of Joe is back because we could all really use a little extra caffeine this week. ☕️

Wishing all students, educators, and parents a wonderful start to the new school year. We’re so excited to see you all this week!

Can it be any cornier 🌽

We heard you! corn season is here and all the corny flavors have made their way onto the menu for the next two weeks (or maybe longer, we’ll let you decide 😉). See below for the featured flavors this week or swipe next for full lineup.

🌽Sweet corn, slow-steeped corn milk turned into a sweet corn custard, and topped with corn shortbread crumble.

🌽Elote, inspired by Mexican street food, it’s filled with cream cheese, buttery roasted corn & jalapeño for a hint of heat and seasoned with smoky and tangy spices, and to top it off, we coat each doughnut in Cotija cheese!

🍑White Peach Yuzu, sweet and floral white peach jelly filling balanced with bright & tart yuzu lemon.

As a reminder we are open regular hours this week on Thursday and Friday at 8 am but our storefront will be closed on Saturday 8/8. Instead we will be at slinging doughnuts and celebrating the market’s 50th Anniversary 🎉

See you all soon!

Lawrence Farmers Market Saturday 8/8 🎉

We’ve welcomed so many new faces this year, and many of you may not know that our journey actually began four years ago with a tent, a folding table, and only a few sourdough doughnuts at the Lawrence Farmers Market. The support we received from the community truly helped shape who we are today.

This Saturday, August 8, Lawrence Farmers Market is celebrating their 50th anniversary and we are coming back to celebrate this remarkable milestone which also coincides with National Farmers Market week. The store will be closed that day (Saturday 8/8) so we can take our entire team down the memory lane where it all began. It feels especially meaningful for us to celebrate alongside a community that gave slow rise its very first home and it’s even more special because it will be our first time back at the Lawrence Farmers Market as a brick & mortar. It’s hard to put into words what that means to us.

Our shop will still be open Thursday and Friday with regular hours this week. We hope to see you then, and if you’re in Lawrence on Saturday, come celebrate the Lawrence Farmers Market’s 50th anniversary with us. We’d love to see you there!
