Two new seasonals: Strawberry Milk & Pancake! ( also some history below )

We call this month's menu 'Breakfast All Day'

Pancake 🥞
A hot doughnut is drizzled with real maple syrup glaze and house-made sweet butter sauce.

Strawberry Milk 🍓🥛
Our made from scratch custard using organic strawberries for a luxuriously thick and creamy texture with just the right balance of sweet and tart strawberries.

And speaking of breakfast, here's the history I promised:
We created our own unique donut recipe, inspired by my grandma's family Belgian waffles.
That's where you get the sweet golden crunch on the outside with the spiced interior pockets.

I grew in the 70's in a small town at a time when good jobs were hard to find and my father was often in the hospital. We were rich in love but due to these financial challenges we didn't get to experience much variety or excitement in our daily meals.

A visit to my grandma's house was extra special when she made us her scratch made cardamom and nutmeg waffles and pancakes. She would top them with a variety of fruit she canned and would often drizzle them with heavy cream and maple syrup.
Such a simple luxury from my past that remains a very special food memory associated with love and care
and flavor variety.

We strive to bring that same spirit of hospitality and welcome to every customer who visits our shop and hope you feel and taste the love in everything we do.

Enjoy! Nate & Jamie

New Seasonal! Mango with Salted Vanilla Glaze 🥭🍨🍩
Jamie really knocked it out of the park with this flavor.

Featuring champagne ( aka Honey or Ataulfo ) mangoes which are known for their smooth texture and creamy tropical flavor, with notes of peach pineapple citrus.

We balance a generous dollop of fresh mango compote atop of our made to order Belgian waffle inspired donuts, finished with a salted vanilla bean glaze, perfectly complementing the sweet and tangy mango.

We hope you enjoy alongside one of our five secret family recipe Chai.
Come to Pips for a cup of kindness and a bite of joy!

Good morning! Happy Friday!
I know we're gonna see a lot of birthday dozen folks in here and we're looking forward to serving you.

Here's some information on how we named our shop
; how we got started and maybe some other things you might not know, including… Our new seasonal menu reveal.

Peace and Pips, Nate

Happy Valentine's Day!
We're also celebrating our 13th anniversary as a small mom and pop business.
We could've originally opened on February 13th but we decided to wait a day, and we are so glad we did!
Everything we do is with love, for love, and by love.

Please enjoy our new Key Lime pie custard, inspired by fond memories of the first date dessert Jamie and I ever shared together 28 years ago.
And for the lovers we have a passionfruit with hand crushed wild rose petals and dragonfruit powder, one day only.

Ps: we do have a few bottles of our banana custard left. Ask for it by name at the register.

We love you, Nate, Jamie and the Pips team.

It dozen get any better than fresh passionfruit, banana custard donuts and green tea Matcha.
Best tasting Matcha anywhere since 2012 IMHO, never grassy, never too sweet. ( also that Japanese Garden!)
A final public service announcement that our banana custard will be leaving the seasonal menu in a few days.

Finally, please invest in your future by understanding these new realities:
A. There's rarely a line during the weekdays.
The perception of us being busy is mostly due to the dramatically increased amount of birthday dozens we are giving away: $800-$1000 worth of free birthday dozens every day.

it's a joyful thing that you have chosen to share your birthday with us but that said, we cannot thrive with a business model that basically gives away a dozen free donuts with every purchase of a drink.

The answer is not to stop this generous gift.
The answer is greater community awareness and love!

What do we need? You!
Please visit outside of your birthday on a weekday so that we can continue to pay our lovely staff a living wage, provide health insurance and assure that Pips will be around for your future.

We believe that we have consistently and generously invested in the best human insurance policy: Our community.
And we truly believe that when the community knows what we need you will respond with generosity.

Peace and Pips, Nate

Update & news.
Banana Custard: We're keeping our banana custard around until February 13th when we roll out our very special Valentine's Day.

Fresh Passionfuit Seasonal:
In keeping with our theme of tropical flavors during the the winter season we've brought back our sweet and tart passionfruit. It's a tropical party in your mouth!

Blue Ginger Lemonade:
imagine your favorite ginger kombucha mixed with real fruit lemonade. This is what we were shooting for and we nailed it.
House-made Organic Lemonade, organic ginger, lightly sweetened with raw organic sugar.
The natural violet color comes from butterfly pea flowers, who get their unique color from the pH balance being altered when combined with the acidity of our natural lemons. We'll have it to pair our tropical menu doughnut flavors during February, March and April.

Chef Jamie:
Our cofounder Jamie Snell personally makes all of our seasonal donut toppings and the five flavors of unique chai she originally created. Our seasonal toppings are always made from real ingredients with real love. Our chai is made from the raw spices and tea in small batches on the has stove top throughout the week for maximum flavor.

Nate: you'll find me in the shop most weekdays, washing dishes making donuts and working at the register. My favorite because I love connecting with our customers, sharing what makes our small@business special, suggesting secret menu items and just genuinely bringing joy to people's experience.

-Come to the lovely Beaumont Village and let us serve you with genuine hospitality.

Nate
