If you have ever been served a hot-fresh doughnut, you’ll never forget it! It might be years later, but the taste and memories come rushing back and you want another one. That’s how our story began for our CEO and co-founder, Mark Publicover.

Mark, like most young people, had a job learning the lessons of responsibility - his was a paper route. Mark and his fellow paperboys would throw their route and then meet at Maple Leaf Donuts in San Jose, California. It was there they experienced the unique hot fresh doughnut. Mark never forgot that taste and the freshness of the doughnuts served up at this local donut shop still in business today.

At The Dapper Doughnut, we never do things the boring way; we never will. Our doughnuts are “cake style”. They are light and moist and slightly crunchy. Our doughnuts are made all day long in our food trucks or stores so they’re always hot and fresh—you can even see them being made. They are custom designed and decorated with the freshest ingredients and sauces. Our toppings are proprietary and each donut is custom created right in front of you. With our 24 unique toppings and sugars, the combinations of topping is virtually endless. Even with most catering jobs, we set up our doughnut machine so they are hot—this is what makes The Dapper Doughnut so compelling at weddings, corporate events, etc. Our doughnuts truly can be enjoyed anywhere!
