Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know about our donuts, dips, orders and market days.
Where can I find you?
We vend at two North County markets every week: the Carlsbad Farmers Market on Wednesdays (2:30 – 7:00 PM) at State Street & Grand Avenue, and the Oceanside Farmers Market on Thursdays (9:00 AM – 1:00 PM) at Pier View Way & North Coast Highway. Check the Locations page for details.
Are your donuts made fresh?
Yes — every donut is fried in small batches throughout the day at the stand, so you always get a warm, crispy shell and a soft, fluffy centre.
What makes your donuts crispy?
We use a carefully balanced batter and a double-frying technique that gives a golden, crispy crust while keeping the inside light and airy.
Which dip should I try first?
Condensed milk is the classic crowd-pleaser. If you love chocolate, go for the rich dark chocolate dip; for a distinctly Thai flavour, try pandan or Thai tea.
Can I pre-order for pickup?
Absolutely. DM us on Instagram (@dipanddough) before market day and we’ll have your box ready at the stand — no waiting in line.
Are there vegan or gluten-free options?
Our donut batter is made without egg or milk. On the dips, only the condensed milk dip contains dairy; the ube, Thai tea and pandan dips are dairy-free but contain egg; the chocolate dip is dairy-free and contains hazelnuts. We are working on a fully vegan lineup, so follow us on Instagram for updates.
Can I order for parties or events?
Absolutely. Party Boxes and the Full Experience combo are perfect for birthdays, beach days and office parties. Order at least 24 hours in advance through Instagram DM or email.
How can I pay?
Cash and major credit/debit cards. Pre-orders placed via Instagram DM can also be paid at pickup.
