Wauwatosa · est. on Mayfair Rd
Raised donuts that are still warm when the door unlocks at five. Ube, matcha and Biscoff beside apple fritters and old-fashioneds — the whole case rotates, so the hard part is stopping at one.
What's in the case
Two long cases, filled before sunrise and refilled through the morning. Specialty flavors rotate — ube and matcha are regulars, Biscoff shows up in trays, and the fritters go fast.
Purple yam glaze under toasted coconut, and a matcha ring with a red drizzle. The two that stop people mid-sentence at the counter.
Cookie-butter glaze, crushed crumb, whole biscuit on top. Made by the tray — and gone by the tray.
Apple fritters, maple and chocolate old-fashioneds, twists, long johns, glazed rings, buttermilk bars and sprinkles for the kids.

California-style, Wauwatosa hours
The California donut-shop approach is simple and unfussy: proof the dough overnight, fry it in the dark, glaze it by hand and put it out while it's still soft. Nothing sits. Come at six and you'll taste the difference against a two-hour-old donut.
It's a family shop — a counter, two cases, a coffee machine and a kitchen in back. Order a dozen and someone will still ask if you want them warmed.

Everything in the case started as dough on the bench a few hours earlier. Nothing arrives frozen and nothing waits around — that's the whole trick.
03 · Glaze & go
Glazed and finished by hand while they're still warm, then walked straight out front. The first tray hits the case at five in the morning, and the case keeps getting refilled through the breakfast rush.
Fryers run 5am–3pm, seven days a week.
Can't make it in?
The full case is on both delivery apps, plus pickup if you'd rather grab and go. Order early in the day — once a flavor sells out, it's out until tomorrow morning.
Delivery hours and prices are set on each app and can differ from the counter.
