More Limited-Time Fall Flavors Arrive at Everglazed in Disney World!

Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew has been bringing the heat this fall, with standout flavors like their Holiday Mystery Donut and the Sweet Potato Pecan Pie Mash-Up totally blowing us away!

Sweet Potato Pecan Pie Mash-Up

If you’re in Disney Springs this holiday season, be sure to stop by to try out yet another specialty donut that brings all of those cozy fall and holiday flavors in a single bite.

Everglazed announced over on their Instagram account that their new donut, the Apple Crisp Cake Donut, is available now for purchase!

© Everglazed

According to Everglazed, this donut comes topped with a sweet glaze and dusted with cinnamon sugar. Doesn’t it look simply divine? Everglazed claims that this donut is great on its own, but we may pair ours with one of their cold brews like they suggest (in a perfect world, we would match it with their seasonal Pumpkin Cold Brew).

Pumpkin Cold Brew

Be sure to grab this seasonal donut ASAP if those flavors are up your alley! We’ll be on the lookout for more limited-time offerings from Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew as well as other locations around Disney World!
