"Hokkaido Natural Cheese Pavé", is a product developed by Donq Hokkaido Sapporo shop, baked with two kinds of natural cheese from Hokkaido, Gouda cheese and cream cheese. The rich flavor of the cheese is enhanced when reheated.

"Butter-scented Goroshima Kintoki" was developed by Donq Ishikawa Kanazawa shop. The sweetness of Go-ro-shima Kin-toki goes well with the savory flavor of black sesame seeds, and the product is baked with salted butter for a rich aroma.

"Peanut Cream Bread" was developed by the Donq Chiba shop and uses "Creamy Peanut Butter," a popular product from Suzuichi Shoten in Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture. It is said to be full of the natural flavor of peanuts..

"Nishio Matcha and Dainagon" was developed by Donq Nagoya shop in Aichi Prefecture. It contains Nishio matcha green tea, which is known for its elegant aroma, and is accented with Dai-nagon and white chocolate chips.

"Awaji Onion and Cheddar Cheese" was developed by the Donq Hyou-go Kobe shop and uses onions grown on Awaji Island, Hyou-go Prefecture, with their gentle sweetness and the taste of the cheese being the key point.

"Seto-uchi Lemon and Cream Cheese" has a refreshing aroma of Setouchi lemon peel and the richness of cream cheese, and is delicious even slightly chilled.
