Psycho Pspecials!

They say you should never mess with a good thing. But who are "they" anyways?! And why should we listen to "them?" And so it is that we are messing with a good thing this week. That good thing is our S'mores Donut. Yes, the same S'mores donut listed in Maxim Magazine's Top 10 Donuts in the Country. Why would we do such a thing? Because we figured out that a S'mores donut filled with Chocolate Custard would be Crazy Good! Come and try a S'mores Overload - this week only!

Our Chief Veganoligist has taken our standard Moodswing donut and veganized it. So this week, come and get the Moody Vegan - it's a cross between the Mood Swing (coconut and peanuts) on top of a vegan cake donut.

Later this week, stay tuned for our Gaga donuts - in honor of the the Lady's upcoming San Jose visit. And this coming friday is the 13th... We can't let Friday the 13th pass with some Psycho antics...

We look forward to seeing you at Psycho Donuts this week!

Psycho Donuts Goes Gaga!

Look out, Psycho Donuts is about to go Gaga! The Alejandro singer will be stopping in San Jose on August 16th and 17th as part of her Monster Ball Tour, and the Psychos are ready to celebrate! In fact, the team in our Krazy Kitchen has come up with a few delicious Gaga-inspired treats, which will be available from August 13 - 18.

He Ate My Heart

That donut is a m-m-m-monster! A delicious vanilla-iced heart stuffed with raspberry jelly, this little monster won't be afraid to show you its teeth!



Blueberry Kisses

Eh, eh, what else can we say? Inspired by an unreleased Gaga tune, this delightful morsel is a vegan white cake donut topped with blueberry icing and fresh blueberries, drizzled with a spicy ginger-cinnamon icing. 100% vegan, 110% delicious, it'll keep the paparazzi coming back for more!


And finally, the pièce de résistance...

Cherry Cherry Boom Boom

(Yes, we really did light a donut on fire.)


Donut call my name, Alejandro! You'll be in disco heaven when you try our newest little monster! Feel like you're up in the club and sippin' that bub with cherry champagne custard, and prepare to be absolutely starstruck by shiny disco sprinkles! Topped with a little cherry cherry boom boom, it'll leave you speechless!



Lady Gaga and donuts? What a bad romance! Get your Gaga donuts August 13th through the 18th at Psycho Donuts, and don't forget to see Lady Gaga in concert at the HP Pavilion August 16th and 17th!

Donut's of the Week, Jennamorphasis and more!


We're thrilled about our new Pspecial of the Week. It's not everyday you get to create a donut themed around a IKF AMATEUR MUAY THAI BANTAMWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION. In fact, it's probably never happened. A few months ago, a pretty, soft-spoken girl named Jenna Castillo stumbled into Psycho Donuts. Upon first meeting Jenna, you might never guess such a well-mannered girl could be California's Champion Muay Thai Kickboxing queen. We learned that Jenna is so jacked up about donuts, friends call her "Jenna Donuts." And this was the start of an amazing friendship.

It was only natural for us to create a donut in Jenna's image. And so it is that we bring you this week's Pspecial - Jenna's Passion. This may be the one and only time you can have Jenna's foot in your face without an ensuing hospital visit. Jenna's Passion is a foot-shaped donut filled with our Belgian White Chocolate and Passion Fruit Cream and topped with Strawberry Icing and Jenna's fave - sprinkles.

And while we're talking about Jenna's Passion - we'd like to invite you to

Jennamorphasis
- The Transition from Kickboxing Champion to Psycho Nurse

- An event to support MS.
When: Saturday, July 31, from 2pm - 4pm.
Where: Psycho Donuts, 2006 S Winchester Blvd, Campbell, CA 95008

Jenna can tear it up in the ring, but what happens when a champion kickboxer is transformed to Psycho Nurse and forced to make donuts? Will the donuts crumble around her? Will she cave under doughy pressure? Will fight fans all over the bay swoon for this butt-kickin' Nurse? Come find out. We've even got a twist on the Jenna's Passion that we will make for the whole weekend that will make Jenna blush! And not in a good way . . . ;c)

2PM - Jenna will be blushing as she has to make her twisted donut. Come see the donut mangulation and donut horror!
2:15 - 4 PM - Jenna will be working behind the counter to serve every donut need. Make a donation to MS and she will:
  • Sign your donut in chocolate icing,
  • Take a photo with you in her Nurse outfit ,
  • or Challenge you to a bubble wrap popping contest.
How many chances in your life do you get to make a difference for those in need AND say you took on an IKF World Champion and lived to tell about it? Once in a lifetime folks.
Get down here!

Jenna Castillo is a Muay Thai kickboxing Champion. She's won an IKF World Title, a WCSC World Title and a fight at the Playboy Mansion. Please help us to cheer Jenna on -- as she competes in Fight Night to the Mansion; Saturday August 14 at the San Mateo Event Center.

That's Curiously Strange!

Altoids are amazing. Did you ever wonder how they pack so much flavor into such a tiny white package? And now, they're not just for eating out of a tin anymore. Check out our new Donut Pspecial for the week of July 19 - Curiously Strange. This raised donut is topped with vanilla icing, coarsely chopped bits of peppermint Altoids, chocolate chips, and a chocolate drizzle. We really weren't so sure that Altoids would really work on a donut; so we conducted some taste tests on guinea pigs, er, customers, this weekend. The concensus is that Curiously Strange creates a serious Christmas peppermint sensation in your mouth. Give it a try - this week only.

And enjoy the pspecial Vegan Nutter this week only. It's a vegan cake donut, topped with chocolate icing, Nutter Butter cookies, and peanut butter. There's never been a better time to go vegan.

These donutrocities will be available beginning on Monday, July 19 all week long. Hope to see you this week at Psycho Donuts!

Violet Beauregard and Vegan Cereak Killers!

What's pspecial at Psycho Donuts this week?

For starters, there is The Violet Beauregard. Remember that scene in Willy Wonka when Violet was becoming a blueberry before your very eyes? Our Violet Beauregard donut is doing the same thing. It's a raised donut with a passion fruit filling. On top is black icing, blueberries, and a wonka swirl of icing. It will bring out your inner Oompa Loompa. Get one this week only!

We're equally crazed about our Vegan pspecial of the week - The Vegan Cereal Killer. Take your every day Cereal Killer from Psycho Donuts and splice it with a Vegan. And there ya have it. The Vegan Cereal Killer. This week only at Psycho Donuts!

Happy 100th Birthday Pfrida!

July 6 is Frida Kahlo's 100th birthday, and we wanted to create a donut in her image. Designing donuts is not always easy. It's not like a wax museum or an ice carving, where you can create serious lifelike replications. You might throw some dough in the fryer with good intentions, but rarely does it come out looking like Frida Kahlo. So sometimes you have to focus on distinguishing
characteristics... And with that introduction, we're happy to announce this week's Donut creation: Pfrida's Passion. This raised donut doesn't compete with Frida's artistic talent; but like Frida, it's filled with passion, er, passionfruit. It has a strawberry icing, and a dark chocolate unibrow. Enough said...!

In our Vegan department, we're featuring the Berry Pucker this week. It's a vegan cake donut, topped with crushed freeze dried strawberries and keylime juice.

Thanks for those of you who made it in for 4th of July weekend. We'll continue with the 4th of JulOnet (or as one of our Facebook fans suggested, Pstars and Pstripes) through Monday, July 5.

Stone Cold Psychos - 3 days and counting!

A chilling announcement from the Psycho research laboratory. After several minutes of human trials, our Psycho Pscientists are proud to bring you Stone Cold Psychos. The ultimate pfusion dessert is ready to greet your taste budz! Stone Cold Psychos are donuts and ice cream (or as we like to say, Iscream), bonded together in unholy matrimony.

Making Stone Cold Psychos is a crazy, complex process. First, we hack a Psycho in half (donut, that is), surgically implant Iscream, stitch the wounded soldier back together, and freeze. Repeat. Complicated, right?

Stone Cold Psychos. Coming to a Psycho Donuts near you (or at least one in Campbell, California), starting 4th of July weekend.

And on July 4th and 5th, come get a Psycho Patriotic TacOnut! Our Pstrawberry TacOnuts are quickly becoming pfamous! Come get one this weekend. We'll add blueberries and whipped cream for the full spectrum of obligatory American hues. The fireworks show this 4th of July will be in your mouth!

Finally, we're thrilled to announce a partnership with our friends at Natasha's Attic in San Jose. If you've been to Psycho Donuts, you've probably experienced our Psycho Pfoto Cell. With the help of Natasha's Attic, our selection of costumes has greatly expanded. How silly do you wanna look in your Psycho pfoto opp? It's up to you! Pay a visit to Natasha's Attic next time you need a crazy costume of your own! And ask the Nurse on Duty to help complete your Psycho pfoto experience!
