crazy for donuts

By: Danielle Kearns 
     Have you heard of the new kid on the block?  Donut Crazy has been open since late November, and it has already made quite a name for itself right here in WeHa Center.  And let’s face it -- their donuts are not just crazy with toppings, but insane in creativity! And that is something we have in common.  As our neighbors, we can’t help but resist a visit there… multiple times a week! (How can you not when they’re just a few doors down?) And we’ve noticed this trend with our customers as well.  As we are always a BYOB studio, we find the pairing of pottery, a coffee, and a sweet treat from next door the perfect combination.
     The concept is pretty brilliant.  Fresh donuts, made daily, and dunked, dipped, and topped with flavors galore.  And the toppings aren’t the only thing to change. The “dailies” menu are their staple items and as “normal” and consistent as they get.  But the “crazies” vary and are the reputation of the place. They can be a new concoction based on a new trending, crazy flavor combo or upcoming holiday delights. Amongst our staff, we have personally taste tested the gamut of flavors.  My current favorite is the strawberry pop-tart, but I can’t say enough good things about the cookie butter donut, the pecan pie, and (oh yeah) the tater tots.
     That’s right… they’re not just donuts, folks!  Donut Crazy also serves BEC sandwiches, omelettes, avocado toast, nitro + cold brew coffees, fruit smoothies, and more.  Some of our upcoming events will feature donut delights as we continue to collaborate with our new favorite neighbor.
Not sure what to order?  Here are some of our staff favorites from their rotating menu:
