Sprinkle kindness - the old fashioned way. Specializing in old fashioned style donuts, The Donut Theory is Knoxville’s only exclusively gluten-free donut shop. Our goal is to always pursue excellence in our process, creating more than “just donuts.” Our commitment to high quality ingredients, along with our dedication to making each donut by hand, ensures that your donuts are always made with love

and care. This enthusiasm for quality, combined with our love for new flavor varieties each week, guarantees a donut experience you can love and trust. We are just an average family that happens to really love food, and belives that all food should be excellent. Laura, the founder, also happens to have Celiac Disease and spent years searching for a good gluten free donut, only to find herself disappointed over and over. As a family, we wanted to create a product that was not known for being “okay for gluten-free,” but left people saying, “there’s no way that’s gluten free,” because it is so good. So that’s our mission. We want to bring the very best old fashioned (Laura’s favorite) to the Knoxville area, and leave you with your jaw dropped because it’s the best darn donut you’ve ever had—that just happens to be gluten free.

What a week! After being featured on WBIR, we had our BUSIEST WEEK EVER!

We met so many new faces and everyone was so lovely. We didn’t think anything could top our opening week, but you guys proved once again why you’re the best.

Thank you so so much to all the new folks who visited last week to check us out, and of course thank you to everyone else who was already a loyal Disco fan that came out too.

In just a few weeks, we’ll be celebrating our one year anniversary so be on the lookout for all kinds of fun announcements for that event! We can’t wait to celebrate y’all.

A giant, heartfelt thank you to all those that helped our friends over at Small Comforts Kitchen this weekend!

We like to say “a rising tide raises all ships”. So, when we saw an opportunity to support another local business who is a pillar of the celiac community, we didn’t hesitate.

If you donated to their gofund.me campaign during the 2 day window, you earned some food on us (the window was Thurs 3pm - Sat 3pm)

A donation of $25 - a Full Monty meal
A donation of $10 - a donut if your choice

You can start redeeming those tomorrow, Monday June 14th.

Thanks once again for showing your support to Jordan and her team. They work very hard to make their amazing food, and we wish them the very best.

Want to help Small Comforts Kitchen? Their fundraiser is still open and you can learn more at the link in their Instagram bio Small Comforts Kitchen

Tennessee has plenty of good food, but finding a spot that does all of this without a trace of gluten? That is genuinely rare.

The time has finally come 🥹

As we turn the page of the next chapter of our story, the time has finally come to sell our little pink food truck short bus.

Focusing on our Kern’s location and the expansion of the new stadium location has left us zero capacity to operate the food truck. That reality will ultimately benefit someone who wants to operate a food truck of their own!

To learn more about this opportunity, tap the link in our bio or in the comments below (on Facebook).

We sure met so many of you on the bus and we made so many fun memories along the way. We are very thankful for all the support over the years and we hope the next owner will have just as much fun as we did!
