Celebrate National Doughnut Day at Outcast Doughnuts in Downtown Mesa

As we celebrate National Doughnut Day, there’s one thing we can all agree on; it’s that doughnuts deserve their own holiday. And here in Downtown Mesa, there’s no better place to celebrate National Doughnut Day than at Outcast Doughnuts, a wildly creative and locally loved shop that’s been shaking up the doughnut game since 2023.

Meet the Faces Behind the Flavor

Outcast is the passion project of husband-and-wife duo TJ and Macee Tillman, two Mesa locals who are anything but ordinary, just like their doughnuts. With a shared love for culinary creativity (and zero fear of pushing the boundaries), the Tillmans have built something truly special in the heart of Downtown Mesa.

They’ve poured their hearts into every detail, from the layered, croissant-style doughnuts to the ever-changing menu full of playful twists and bold flavors. But what really sets them apart is their commitment to this community. TJ and Macee are proud Downtown Mesa business owners who believe in creating space for fun, connection, and of course, incredible food.

Doughnuts Like You’ve Never Seen (or Tasted) Before

At Outcast, the doughnuts are as much an experience as they are a treat. Think buttery, flaky croissant layers turned into doughnut perfection. You’ll find flavors that range from deliciously indulgent to completely unexpected like the “Cheeky Monkey” (stuffed with Nutella and banana) or the spicy-sweet “Nafta” with maple glaze, jalapeño bacon, and bourbon drizzle.

And if you’re in the mood for something even more out there, try one of their Dopecones; that’s right, ice cream cones made from doughnut dough and filled with soft serve. They’ve also got savory doughnut sandwiches and rotating specials that keep things fresh every time you visit.

Beyond the amazing menu, Outcast Doughnuts has had a big impact on Downtown Mesa. They’ve taken part in city revitalization programs, collaborated with other local businesses, and have helped bring more energy and excitement to our streets. It’s not just about food it’s about building community.

Outcast Doughnuts is spreading its unique flavor!

This expansion brings their signature layered doughnuts, Dopecones, breakfast sandwiches, and specialty cocktails to a new audience continuing its growth with a new standalone location in Gilbert. They recently broke ground on this project, which will be part of a new community hub alongside establishments like Level 1 Arcade Bar and Rebel Wine Lounge. This move underscores their commitment to bringing innovative culinary experiences to more of the Valley.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time visitor, National Doughnut Day is the perfect excuse to swing by Outcast Doughnuts. Outcast isn’t just redefining what a doughnut can be, they’re helping shape the flavor of our downtowns, one bite at a time. Find them at 48 W Main Street in Downtown Mesa!
