Craig Blum and Kim Diamond.
The people behind Johnny Doughnuts.
A LITTLE DOUGH. A LOT OF HEART.HOW JOHNNY BEGAN
Good doughnuts have a way of bringing people together.
In 2012, Craig Blum and Kim Diamond brought Johnny Doughnuts to life. Their backgrounds were different, but the idea they shared was simple: make something with care and give people a warm welcome.
Craig brought experience in food and hospitality and a curiosity about the craft of doughnut making. Kim brought her background in real estate development and building places where people come together.
From food-truck beginnings to neighborhood shops and celebrations across the Bay Area, Johnny grew around that same idea. A doughnut is a small thing, but the moment you share around it can mean a lot.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE IDEA
A love of food. A curiosity for the craft.
Craig’s experience in food and hospitality helped shape the food-truck idea that became Johnny Doughnuts. His interest in how a great doughnut is made helped turn a familiar treat into a craft worth exploring.
Classic recipes offered the starting point. Handcrafted doughnuts, seasonal flavors, and the pleasure of sharing them became the heart of Johnny.
An eye for possibility. A sense of place.
Kim has helped guide Johnny Doughnuts’ growth, bringing her experience in real estate development, operations, and retail expansion to the business.
Her work connects the idea of Johnny with the places and experiences that bring it to life: neighborhood shops, a welcoming atmosphere, and room for people to gather.
BUILT TOGETHER
Craig and Kim helped start the story. The bakers, baristas, shop teams, and catering crew bring it to life every day.
And every guest who stops for coffee, shares a box, or invites Johnny to a celebration becomes part of that story, too.
