Pasadena's Favorite Donut Cafe

Dough Thrown Daily

Welcome to Dough Thrown Daily — Pasadena’s favorite hole-in-the-wall for hand-cut donuts, strong coffee, and unexpected conversations.

Whether you’re a regular or just passing through, there’s always something fresh coming out of the fryer and someone behind the counter worth meeting. We keep it simple, sweet, and a little bit weird — just how we like it.

ABOUT DTD

Welcome to Dough Thrown Daily — the little donut cafe with the weird name and the big heart. Nestled on a sunny Pasadena street corner, we do exactly what the name says: throw dough daily, by hand, from scratch, with love (and maybe a little chaos).Founded by Roxie, after her divorce, she hasn’t looked back. Stylish, fearless, and always three steps ahead, Roxie isn’t in the shop every day — but when she shows up, things happen. Probably the only person who could run a donut empire and a revolution at the same time.DTD is part bakery, part community hub, and part accidental therapy session. We’re not trying to be fancy. We’re just trying to make really good donuts, play good music, and give people a place to land.Our team? A mix of oddballs, old souls, and undercover geniuses — all doing their best and usually running on caffeine. Whether you’re here for a dozen hot rings or just need to breathe for a minute, there’s a spot for you at the counter.Donuts made fresh. Vibes made real. That’s the deal.

  • Roxie - Owner: Yoga instructor turned donut cafe owner. Use to run the cafe alone with help from her kids Patrick and Willow.

  • Reggie - Cafe Manager: Our grounded, dry-humored manager who keeps the shop running and sees more than he lets on.

  • Pepper - Assistant Manager: With a quiet grace and a practical mind; the calm in the daily storm.

  • Maddie - Everybody's best friend and grounding presence; works the counter with quiet strength and charm.

  • Raye - Goth, hilarious when she forgets to be brooding, and somehow always finds the perfect playlist.

  • Abby - College student on a donut-fueled autopilot, she's a genius and she knows it.

  • Patrick - Has been with DTD from the beginning, helping his mom after school. Much happier now the DTD family has grown.

  • Willow - Our teenage wildcard who works part-time after school. We use the work "works" lightly.
