QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED
ORDERING
Q: How do I order?
A: You can order ONLINE or by coming into the store! Occasionally, we can take orders by phone as well but if the shop is really busy and there is a line, we will not be able to prioritize phone orders over those customers that have shown up and are waiting at the counter!
For ONLINE ordering, click here.
For directions to our shop, click here.
Q: When can I order?
A: All ordering is same-day only. That means that the order you place must be picked up that day. We are not currently taking advanced orders, and though that may change in the future, you cannot currently order for a day other than same-day. For large events of 4 dozen+ donuts, please submit an inquiry through our Events page.
Online ordering opens at 7am each morning we are open (Friday - Sunday). The bakery opens at 7:30am on Friday, 8:00am on Saturday-Sunday. You can come into the bakery any time to take a look and order in-person, but be warned that donuts do go fast and sometimes early, particularly on weekends or holidays!
Q: When can I pickup my order?
A: All online orders must be picked up by 12 noon. Generally your order will be ready within a few minutes if you select "order now," or if you want to schedule an order for later in the morning, please choose a time from the drop down list.
Q: The order site doesn't work for me because [blah, blah, blah!]
A: Look, we're not software engineers here, lol. We use the Toast system for our online ordering because it is efficient and common at many restaurants and bakeries across the country these days. Every system has it's flaws, but if there is truly something wrong with the online ordering system on a given day, we will likely notice within minutes and do our best to correct it. However, most of the time, the problems we hear people encountering are because they tried to place an order too early or on a day we are closed, so please review our ordering times above. Sometimes it helps to refresh your browser. We are not able to troubleshoot individual technical issues, as we have to make donuts and serve customers, but we can always take your order in-person instead if there is a tech problem you cannot solve on your own.
Q: Why does it seem like items are disappearing out of my basket on the Toast online system?
A: We receive the highest concentration of online orders right around 7:00-7:30am when online ordering opens. That means that dozens of customers are all placing donuts in their cart at the same time to check out. The Toast system prioritizes by who has actually cashed out with the items first, not who has placed them in their cart first. We are not able to change this. We can only make a finite number of donuts. So depending on how fierce the competition is on a given morning, sometimes this can lead to faster customers getting the donuts before you are able to check out.
Q: I didn't get a confirmation email from Toast-- did you get my order?
A: If you did not get a confirmation or receipt, it likely did not go through. Please give us a call during our open hours and we can double check for you if needed.
Q: Why do you have donuts in the store when it says you were out online?
A: We keep some donuts in stock for the first customers in the store each day, so that those people waiting in line can always get some donuts too.
Q: What time do you make a second batch?
A: We have been making donuts faster and getting up earlier lately, so at this point we usually have all of our donuts ready by the time we open at 8am. In the future if we have additional staff and equipment, we may put out even more donuts throughout the day, but please respect that we are always making as many as we are able to do on a given day.
PRODUCT
GENERAL
Q: Why don't you make more donuts?
A: We wake up extra early, way before dawn, to make as many donuts as we can for the day-- take it or leave it. Order early for the best selection! We are an artisan bakery making everything by hand and as fresh as possible-- we are not a factory and you wouldn't want us to be, so quantities are limited and sometimes go fast. On extra busy days such as weekends and holidays, we always put out more than usual, but these can still sometimes sell out quickly, depending on demand.
Q: What are your COVID protocols?
A: We are following all state and local mandates for indoor COVID protocols. We have also suspended all in-house seating, in order to maintain a safer environment for our customers, and reduce exposure for our employees, and all orders are take-out only. We offer curbside service by request-- please call when you arrive out front of the bakery and we will bring out your order. Thank you for helping to keep Vermont safe!
Q: What ingredients do you use?
A: We are proud to use local products as much as possible! Here are a few examples of our local vendors:
King Arthur brand flours
Cabot Butter
Mansfield Dairy
North Country Smokehouse Bacon
Hollow Brook Farms Maple Syrup
Shadowcross Farm Eggs
Vermont Creamery Ricotta
Green Mountain Farm Cream Cheese
VT Artisan Coffee & Teas
We make all of our own jams & jellies in-house with whole berries & fruits, and all our own cream fillings from scratch with fresh ingredients-- you will definitely taste the difference here!
Q: What oil do you fry in?
A: We use only organic canola oil.
Q: Are your donuts nut-free?
A: Our donut dough does not include any nuts, and we never put nut products in our fryer. Occasionally we do make donuts with various nut toppings, and those are clearly labeled. While we properly sanitize surfaces during preparation, we are a small bakery with a one-room kitchen and one counter for sales. We cannot guarantee that there is zero risk of cross-contamination, as we do store many nuts in the bakery. We take allergies seriously, so it is important we reiterate, WE ARE NOT A NUT-FREE FACILITY and we do not have nut-free equipment.
Q: Are your donuts gluten-free?
A: We do occasionally make gluten-free donuts, and these are clearly labeled as gluten-free. Our regular donuts are not gluten free, and we are not a gluten free facility, so we cannot guarantee that there is zero risk of cross-contamination.
Q: Are your donuts vegan?
A: We do occasionally make vegan donuts, and these are clearly labeled as vegan. Our regular donuts are not vegan or dairy-free.
Q: Do you make sugar-free donuts?
A: No, we never use artificial sweeteners or make sugar-free products. We are a sweets joint here.
Q: What is the best way to save my donuts for tomorrow or another day?
A: Sorry, there really isn't one! Like any fried foods, donuts are best fresh, and are intended to be eaten the day they are made. Friends don't gift friends day-old donuts.
