At Lantern Donuts, enjoy elevated donuts and premium coffee in the heart of downtown Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Our pastry chef creates unique flavors and experiences to enjoy in menus that change regularly and include menu items like our Creme Brûlée donut, Matcha, as well as elevated standards like our famous Sweet & Salty or Purely Maple. In everything we are committed to using natural, organic, and locally-sourced ingredients. That means absolutely no seed oils, glyphosate, or artificial dyes or flavorings, ever. Nothing from a mix or a box. We also roast all our coffees in-house, to serve alongside our donuts. Please enjoy.

We LOVE Lantern Donuts! So grateful for a delicious treat that is organic and seed oil free! I love that I don’t have to worry about my kids having these occasionally, because there are no dyes, HFCS, or seed oils. Plus, they are SO DANG DELICIOUS! I love how creative their flavors are. Plus they do the traditional flavors SO WELL. Their maple donut is a MUST HAVE. So so good, you can tell they used real maple syrup in the icing. My husband, who is a coffee snob, also enjoys their coffee and has bought their beans for making espresso at home several times. This is a must try in Coeur d’Alene!

Absolutely fantastic experience! I’m not a huge fan of donuts, so it’s hard to impress me, but these were unbelievably good. My husband, who has tried more donuts than I can count, even said these are “the best donuts I’ve ever had in my life.”
The owners are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. It’s impossible not to fall in love with the place. You can truly tell how much care, effort, and pride they put into both their shop and their food.
You can definitely tell they’re made from scratch using organic, local, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients. The donuts taste light, fresh, and perfectly balanced, not heavy or greasy, so you can enjoy every bite and actually feel good about it.
Hands down the best donuts in North Idaho. If you’re in downtown CDA, this place is an absolute must-try.

Kevin was exceptional, came here with my family yesterday after a much anticipated wait! We drove about 40min to get here and my husband called to make sure they would have some donuts left & Kevin set some aside for us just in case. The location downtown is super easy to find & will do so awesome in the coming months. He walked us through the menu and explained the seasonal rotation (which we love as foodies!) We ordered almost one of everything but the stand outs were easily the Lemon & Matcha WOW. As a bakery owner & foodie this place was great, sounds like they’re working on some seating and a relaxing setup soon! Big congrats to the team & owners here and we all can’t wait to support you!

These might be the best donuts I’ve ever had! When you use organic ingredients, nothing artificial (color, flavor, etc) and fry in coconut oil… the result is perfection! I love the rotating flavors and the classics. I’ve been a fan since day 1 and I can’t wait for the seating area to be in full operation!

These are the best donuts I’ve ever had. I’ve been dying to try a creme brulee donut but have never seen any in this area. I saw a random ad on social media for Lantern Donuts and saw they had a creme brulee one I freaked out! I figured they would sell out before I could get to there so I scheduled a door dash order. If you need a pick me up, schedule a donut delivery for the morning. I promptly forgot about the delivery until they arrived (notifications went to my husband). It was the best “surprise” lol. We ordered Creme Brulee of course, Sweet Chocolate, Sweet & Salty(brown butter vanilla) and Butterscotch and Chocolate. My favorite was the creme brulee with the brown butter vanilla as a close second. I have been craving them ever since and can’t wait to visit the shop in person.

I have been wanting to try a creme brûlée donut for a long time, looked all over Spokane / CDA area and didn’t find any. Finally found it at Lantern donuts and wow, so so tasty. The dough is soft, very tasty with the sugar crunch on top and the custard filling, definitely my type of dessert. I love the fact they have different flavor every month and even more that everything is organic and free of seed oils. 10/10. Definitely recommend!

The donuts are always amazingly fresh and delicious. Each bite is incredibly soft unlike donuts you get from other places. The unique variety of flavors makes each one truly special and a real treat.
The coffee is also delicious. I have purchased several bags of whole roasted beans and they are one of my favorites in town. The complexity of flavors when brewed makes for a fantastic cup of coffee.

This is hands down the best donuts shop in the area!! They’re made with organic ingredients & not overly sweet so you don’t feel sick after eating them!
The crème brûlée flavor was out of this world!!! Our kids all loved it, too! We’ll be frequenting Lantern often
The owners were also very kind & hospitable.
Don’t miss out on this adorable & delicious donut shop!

These tasty, fresh donuts are the work of a pastry chef with 30+ years of experience — made completely from scratch with natural ingredients and no seed oils. Think in-season, farmers market–style, locally sourced ingredients.
They now rotate flavors every two weeks, and their model just keeps getting better. Priced at $4 for standard donuts and $6 for premium ones, it’s worth every penny. There’s also a chefs-choice $8 option that’s usually a collaboration with another local business — often with multiple components that make it something special. You can tell when intention and love are put into food, and this place does just that.
As if that weren’t enough, I was given a bag of their Yanesha Co-op espresso beans, which they roast in-house — I mean, how much better does a business get?

Oh my goodness gracious. This place has the best donuts I have ever tasted in my entire life. It can’t compare to anything else we have tried. Each donut is crafted for a unique one of a kind flavour. The butterscotch chocolate tasted like a bite back in time. So soft, full of flavor, and melts in your mouth. The ingredients are organic, no seed oils, carefully sourced, and free of dyes which we really appreciated. Thank you for such a wonderful experience Lantern Donuts!
