This one is for Dolly 💖🦋👑

A little earlier post than usual for this week’s menu because we want to make sure we all have plenty of time to get ready.

My sister called me last week, right around the time we heard about Dolly Parton’s passing (mind you she hardly ever calls). She said, “please do a themed menu for Dolly.” I said, “done.” So this menu is a tribute to the one and only Dolly Parton, an icon, an inspiration, and someone who reminds us that kindness can go a long way. These flavors are inspired by her songs, her roots, and some of her favorite foods. We hope you enjoy them as much as we loved putting this menu together.

And because we can’t celebrate Dolly without celebrating what she gives back, together with your support, we’ll be donating $925 (9 to 5 🎶) from this week’s doughnut proceeds to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library that gifts free books to young children.

Thank you for being part of something bigger than doughnuts. Every doughnut you enjoy makes giving back to the community possible.

So come grab a doughnut, celebrate Dolly with us, and help us spread a little more love through books and doughnuts ❤️

An all-sweet menu for a sweet start to the school year 📚✏️🚌

The crew picked a very fun lineup inspired by nostalgic school day snacks and childhood favorites.
Fruity Pebbles for breakfast, Strawberry Milk and Fruit Cocktail for lunch, then Cookies & Cream or Nutella for an after school snack?!
And Cup of Joe is back because we could all really use a little extra caffeine this week. ☕️

Wishing all students, educators, and parents a wonderful start to the new school year. We’re so excited to see you all this week!

Can it be any cornier 🌽

We heard you! corn season is here and all the corny flavors have made their way onto the menu for the next two weeks (or maybe longer, we’ll let you decide 😉). See below for the featured flavors this week or swipe next for full lineup.

🌽Sweet corn, slow-steeped corn milk turned into a sweet corn custard, and topped with corn shortbread crumble.

🌽Elote, inspired by Mexican street food, it’s filled with cream cheese, buttery roasted corn & jalapeño for a hint of heat and seasoned with smoky and tangy spices, and to top it off, we coat each doughnut in Cotija cheese!

🍑White Peach Yuzu, sweet and floral white peach jelly filling balanced with bright & tart yuzu lemon.

As a reminder we are open regular hours this week on Thursday and Friday at 8 am but our storefront will be closed on Saturday 8/8. Instead we will be at slinging doughnuts and celebrating the market’s 50th Anniversary 🎉

See you all soon!

Lawrence Farmers Market Saturday 8/8 🎉

We’ve welcomed so many new faces this year, and many of you may not know that our journey actually began four years ago with a tent, a folding table, and only a few sourdough doughnuts at the Lawrence Farmers Market. The support we received from the community truly helped shape who we are today.

This Saturday, August 8, Lawrence Farmers Market is celebrating their 50th anniversary and we are coming back to celebrate this remarkable milestone which also coincides with National Farmers Market week. The store will be closed that day (Saturday 8/8) so we can take our entire team down the memory lane where it all began. It feels especially meaningful for us to celebrate alongside a community that gave slow rise its very first home and it’s even more special because it will be our first time back at the Lawrence Farmers Market as a brick & mortar. It’s hard to put into words what that means to us.

Our shop will still be open Thursday and Friday with regular hours this week. We hope to see you then, and if you’re in Lawrence on Saturday, come celebrate the Lawrence Farmers Market’s 50th anniversary with us. We’d love to see you there!

What are you reading this summer? 📖✨

Because we have an extra week this month, we get to do something fun.
This week’s flavors are inspired by summer reading, classic children’s books, and all the little cuties who tag along with their grown-ups for doughnuts. We absolutely love having your littles in our cafe!

It’s the last week for Big Dill before it takes a little break 🥒 and the only week for this storybook inspired lineup. We’ll be changing things up next week, and we also have a special announcement coming soon 🤭

We can’t wait to see you all!

This week’s lineup has a little something for everyone, from peak seasonal flavors and a Southeast Asian-inspired favorite to one of my nostalgic flavors, Black Sesame.

Savory is also back on the menu this week, and it’s a Big Dill. 🤭 We know it’s a polarizing one, but it’s become a favorite among our regulars. It’s filled with whipped cream cheese, dill, and chopped pickles.

Hope everyone’s having a great summer, can’t believe we’re already halfway through it.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Deciding what flavors to make the menu each week is always half the battle. We weren’t expecting last week’s lineup to be such a hit, so we’re bringing it back for another week. Thank you so much for all the love!

We’re open Thursdays & Fridays at 8 AM and Saturdays at 9 AM.

We’ll see you all soon!

Keeping it all sweet this week because we’ve got not just one, not two... but four brand new (to slow rise) flavors!

🍒 Cherry Limeade, filled with our housemade sweet-tart cherry & lime jelly.

🍺 Root B**r Float, filled with root b**r custard made with Shatto Milk Company Root B**r Milk, topped with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.

🍫 S’mores, inspired by everyone’s favorite summer campfire treat. Double-filled with housemade honey marshmallow fluff and rich chocolate cream, then finished with torched marshmallow fluff.

🎂 Birthday Cake, filled with vanilla sweet cream and topped with rainbow sprinkles.

Cup of Joe is also back for another round by popular demand ☕️

Our hours this week:
✨ Thursday & Friday @ 8 AM
✨ Saturday @ 9 AM

First come, first served, with a limit of one dozen per customer (per transaction).
Stay cool and we see you all soon!

Time flies when you’re having fun because how are we already at the six month mark since we opened our doors back in January?

Thank you for showing up week after week. Every visit, every box shared with friends, every kind word, and every post you’ve shared has helped build our family business into what it is today. This place exists because of all of you. And because of that, we hope it goes without saying that everyone is welcome here, valued here, and always has a seat at our table.

As we wrap up June and Pride Month, we’re celebrating the best way we know how, with doughnuts. This week, we’ll be donating $1 from every Dirt & Worms doughnut to Kansas Association for Social Housing based in Lawrence.

This flavor is fun to make, but if you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes, swipe for a little peek. Every doughnut is carefully filled, topped, and decorated by hand. It’s a lot of work, but seeing your excitement makes all the hard work worth it.

We’re excited to see you soon. Thank you for supporting our small business and helping us support our community. ❤️
