Calling all doughnut lovers! Handcraft Doughnuts is making small-batch, handmade, fresh doughnuts in D.C.
Handcraft Doughnuts is the creation of husband and wife team Kara Terrell and Ike Emejuru. The couple began their wild journey into the pastry world after their love of travel and adventure led them to some very unique pastry experiences. It turns out that their most memorable experience was in Kenya, alongside a beautiful giraffe named Daisy.
The couple enrolled in a local doughnut-making class and two years later, the rest was history.
Handcraft Doughnuts is led by Executive Pastry Chef Jared Rubin. Rubin has held pastry stints at some of the most prestigious bakeries and cafes in New York — Michelin-starred Gramercy Tavern and Meadowsweet, and Bouchon Bakery to name a few.
Handcraft, with its 24-hour raised brioche dough, prides itself on simplicity, using the freshest ingredients, developing all in-house recipes and toppings, and creating doughnut magic.
Online ordering and in-person pick-up are now available from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. from Thursday through Sunday on handcraftdoughnuts.com.
