While you’re there, pick up some of the new St. Patrick’s Day donut varieties including:

  • Pot of Gold Doughnut – Caramel-glazed, topped with buttercream and gold coin sprinkles (yum!).
  • Over the Rainbow Doughnut – Cake batter filling, green icing, rainbow sprinkles and a sugar rainbow. These are super photo-friendly!
  • Choco-Shenanigans Doughnut – Chocolate filling with green icing drizzles and gold sprinkles. Probably the best flavor for donut purists.
  • St. Patty’s Swirl Doughnut – White-and-green swirled glaze, dusted with gold sanding sugar. Dunk it in hot coffee and watch leprechauns of joy appear.
