Psycho Halloween and Art Show

Drunken' Punkin'

Zombie Nurses in Action!

It's Halloween time at Psycho Donuts!  The Psycho kitchen is gearing up for another year of spooky donuts, and our nurses are preparing for the Zombie Apocolypse.

Check out Psycho Pseasonals, like The Drunken' Punkin.'  We start with a bourbon-spiked pumpkin cake donut. We top it with cheesecake icing, fresh pecans, and a cross-hatch of maple and caramel drizzle. That's our elegant Psycho Halloween treat.  And then things get weird...

Zombie Ballz

Zombie Crawllers

You might see some crazy things at Psycho Donuts around Halloween. But you probably won't see any male zombies hanging around. They keep their distance this time of year; because it's harvest season for our Zombie Ballz – topped with green tea icing, oreo dust, and red blood drizzle.  There's also a crueller version, called The Zombie Crawller.

Many of our regular donuts will also be dressing up for the holiday.  So 'donut' be surprised if your favorite selection looks scarier than usual!

Its Raining New Donuts at Psycho Donuts

The Danolli!

The skies have opened up, and donut inventions have been raining into the Psycho DoNutcase, at an alarming pace.  Chef Ron and his team of Kooks have been on a manic innovation binge. Lettuce review the developments of the past couple weeks...

Danollis!

It's official; donuts and cannolis can legally marry (except in Sochi, Russia, where you can't even mention the new culinary delight).

The Danolli is a marriage made in Psycho heaven, filled with inpastata pastry cream.  The donutrocity is rolled into crushed cannoli shells. Semi-sweet chocolate morsels cover either end, and chocolate drizzle is layered on top.  A small dose of powdered sugar is sprinkled on top of the top.  Even Zagat had something to say about our Danolli!

Pig Pops

Pig Pops!

Pig Pops are Psycho descendants of our Piggy Ballz.  They have a fudgy center of buttermilk donut, a maple white chocolate coating, and of course... BACON!  This pigtastic creation is balanced neatly on a convenient popsicle stick.  

Pop a pig in your pie hole today!

The Frying Dutchman! 

The Frying Dutchman!

'Donut' judge this Psycho creation by its punny name.  The Frying Dutchman's hull is split and layered with spiced apples, doused with cheesecake icing, topped with buttermilk streusel, and drizzled with cinnamon icing!  Your tastebuds wanna climb aboard this dutch clipper ship! 

Psycho Pstrawberry Pshortcake!

Psycho Pstrawberry Pshortcake!

Homemade vanilla butter cream combines crazily with fresh strawberries and semi-sweet chocolate morsels – atop this raised donutrocity.  It's the Silent P's that revolutionize this age old dessert item.  Try a Psycho Pstrawberry Pshortcake today!

Dem Apples! 

Dem Apples!

How 'bout 'em?  Apple spice cake, buttermilk streusel, chocolate and caramel drizzle – makes Dem Apples a dynamic donut delight.  

Come early and try one of our new Psycho

It's Zombie-O-Rama!

Pselections, because there's not sufficient quantity to satiate the zombie feeding frenzy. Speaking of which... 'donut' miss  Zombie-O-Rama in Downtown San Jose – Wednesday, August 21.  Psycho San Jose will be offering a pair of Zombie Ballz for only a buck – for zombies in full costume only.

Psycho in Da Newz!

Psycho has been raising some googly eyeballs, with our crazy array of demented donuts.  Emmy award winner Mayim Bialik, of Big Bang Theory fame, is an outspoken fan of Psycho Donuts. Mayim, how 'bout a Big Bang Theory donut?  Hmm, what would that be like? Email us with your Big Bang Theory donut ideas!

Psycho Makes History!

Psycho Donuts has officially made history. Watch Psycho Donuts on The History Channel's All You Can Eat - Breakfast Edition.

Chef Zach Barnes has written this stellar review of Psycho Donuts.  And Jennifer McHugh of The Celebrity Cafe shares the details of her Psycho visit.


Bay Area visitors are stopping at Psycho Donuts in swarms.  New York Blogger, Melissa Klurman from New York summarizes The Top 7 Family Stops in San Jose.

The Danolli. A hybrid created and manufactured in the Bay Area

Here's proof that the Bay Area can out-hybrid even New York!

How 'bout a crazy Psycho welcome for...

 The Danolli

Danolli's are the result of a head-on collision between an innocent donut and a cannoli.  But 'donut' worry.  The resulting vehicle is safe.  Car and Driver calls it "an unparalleled driving sensation on your tastebuds."

Be patient with with us, as we work out production kinks and get these crazy new hybrids into a South Bay showroom near you! 

The Danolli!

The Danolli has a raised dough chassis, filled with an inpastata pastry cream engine.  The entire vehicle is then rolled into crushed cannoli shells, creating a psychological, crash-resistant exterior.  Semi-sweet chocolate morsels adorn either end of this hybrid vehicle, and chocolate drizzle covers the hood.  A protective coating of powdered sugar is gently applied over the vehicle's finish.

Stop by Psycho Donuts for a test drive today (but arrive early... we're revamping the Psycho factory to make room for specialized hybrid manufacturing equipment).  

The Danolli... a better hybrid, manufactured locally in The Bay Area!

Psycho and San Jose Pride

San Jose Pride is coming on August 17 -18, and Psycho Donuts is a proud sponsor and supporter of this fun and colorful event.  Look for Psycho Donuts at the Pride event, but that's not all.

Psycho Donuts will be selling three Pride-inspired donutrocities in our stores, starting on Friday July 24 - August 18, with a portion of proceeds directly benefitting San Jose Pride.

How 'Bout a Gay Bar?

Gay Bar

Psycho Donuts is re-introducing Gay Bar! Many Psycho fans may remember the original reason we created this diverse donut! Gay Bar features Fruit Loops and Rainbow Sprinkles on a freshly-made bar-shaped raised donut.

And that's not all... from the crazy mind of Chef Ron, here are a couple new ones this year:

Pink PrideAngle

Pink PrideAngle

Our Pink PrideAngle deserves to be sweet, given the history of this symbol. Queue the Psycho history lesson - the pink triangle was one of the Nazi concentration camp badges, used to identify male prisoners, who were sent there because of their homosexuality.

Our raised, strawberry-iced donut is the new, delicious, symbol of pride.  Let your taste buds revel in the sweet new meaning of today's pink triangle.

Fudgie

Fudgie

All of our Pride donuts have been sweet in the past; but for some reason, they've not been chocolatey sweet.  So this year, our friends at San Jose Pride challenged us to create Fudgie.
Fudgie is a chocolate raised donut, filled with chocolate buttercream, fudge filling, and rolled in cocoa sugar!  Now that's a donut to be proud of.

Get your Pride donuts at either Psycho Donuts location from July 24 - August 18, or at the San Jose Pride event the weekend of August 17.  

Robots and Donuts

Artist: Nicolas Caesar

Donuts generally take center stage at Psycho Donuts, as a rule of thumb. And that kinda makes sense, because, well... it is a donut shop (an unusual one, at that).

Jessie's Jewels

However, many of our fans walk into Psycho Donuts wholly unaware of other things going on.  For example, Psycho San Jose sells beer and wine, and even beer smoothies. Who'd of guessed, right?  And Psycho Campbell sells jewelry, hand-made by our very own Nurse Jessie.

Both Psycho Donuts stores double as art galleries, featuring unique and original works from local artists, starting for as little as $40.  And this just in from outer space...

Psycho on The Cooking Channel

Psycho Donuts is insanely proud of Chef Ron, who competes in Donut Showdown - the best and toughest donut-making competition on the planet. Three donut masters from across North America compete to walk away with the title... and $10,000.   Psycho Donuts was invited to audition in 2012, with a requirement to create this crazy audition video – resulting in Ron's trip to Toronto to be a prime contenda!

Psycho Head Chef Ron Levi!

Toon in to watch Psycho Donuts compete for the win.

What: Donut Showdown
Where: The Cooking Channel
When: Wednesday July 17, at 7pm PST

The show originally aired on The Food Network in Canada in March; and for this reason, you can read all about who won (warning - Pserious Psycho Pspoiler alerts...) on a previous Psycho Blog Post ... in The San Francisco Examiner... and at San Jose.com.  But really, just say no to clicking the above links... it's more suspenseful to watch the show without first knowing the outcome!

Keep your eyes on the Psycho Facebook page... we'll be announcing the very donutrocities which Ron created (under cruel and unusual conditions), while being filmed on Donut Showdown.

Again, huge congratulations to Chef Ron Levi for this Crazy Good accomplishment.  More Psycho announcements coming soon!

Pstars, Pstripes, and Comfortably Pfrida

It's that patriotic time of year for all Americans.  And for our neighbors to the south, it's also a time to remember the brilliant artistic creations of Frida Kahlo - whose birthday is July 6!  As you've likely guessed, we have Psycho Psolutions for both special days; with crazy donutrocities launching at both Psycho Donuts locations, starting Tuesday, July 2 – Sunday, July 7.

Pstars and Pstripes!

Pstars and Pstripes!

Are you the patriotic sort? If you're not, buy Pstars and Pstripes for your neighbor - that All-American guy who hangs the flag at every conceivable US holiday - especially on The 4th of July.

Packed with raspberry on the inside, this heart shaped Psycho Psymbol is topped in all the primary colors that matter. Each state  delivers a satisfying white chocolate-rice crunch when chomped upon.

Glazed and Patriotic!

Glazed and Confused has dressed up for the Independence Day holiday, and has become Gazed and Patriotic – with Psycho Pstripes in all the right colors.  Red, white, and blue stripes of drizzle adorn the top of this American classic. Why be confused when you can be patriotic?

Comfortably Pfrida!

Comfortably Pfrida!

July 6 is Frida Kahlo's birthday, so we have morphed 'Comfortably Numb' into 'Comfortably Pfrida!'  Though this donutrocity has a rough exterior and over-abundant eyebrows, it's heart is sweet, in the form of chocolate pastry cream.  If you're a lover of Frida Kahlo's work, why not stop by Psycho Donuts for a Comfortably Pfrida?

And there you have it... Psycho Pstars, Pstripes, and Pfrida.  Where else ya gonna find crazy donuts whose names all revolve around Silent P's?   Get these Pseasonal Pspecials at Psycho Campbell and Psycho San Jose, available from July 2 – 7.
