Voodoo Doughnuts — the cult classic that recently announced its second Houston-area location would be rolling into Montrose later this year — just unveiled its seasonal specials.

The new Key Lime Crush flavor boasts a yeast-raised shell filled with key lime and topped with vanilla frosting and crumbled graham crackers, plus a drizzle of caramel. The tastiest part? Proceeds from the sale of this doughnut will go to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Three new Cannolo (that would be a doughnut version of a cannoli — brilliant, right?) flavors were also announced: lemon-powdered-sugar, dulce de leche-cinnamon-sugar, and banana cream pie.

Leadership in Action: CEO Theresa Roemer Credits Mother, Mentors and Mindset for Accomplishments

How did you get to where you are today? My journey to where I am today is built on a foundation of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Every step along the way, I faced obstacles, but I approached each one with determination and a “never give up” mindset. Instead of being discouraged by challenges, I used them as opportunities to grow and improve. Consistency was key—I committed to showing up and giving my best effort every day. I also learned not to take “no” as a final answer. Instead, I saw it as a chance to push harder, adapt, and find another way forward. It’s this combination of persistence, resilience, and unwavering focus that has brought me to where I am today.
