Best Donuts - Edit
These are the best donuts I ever had. Most people don’t even know that everything here is plant based and this place is all vegan. Even my nonvegan friends loved the donuts.

Jimmy Eat Swirl - Edit
That's what they called the cinnamon roll. Fluffy, delicious, and of course I had that vegan paranoia, it seemed way too good to be true. I'll go back today and make sure. If I ate one different one every day, it might take a year.

Punny names, delicious flavors. - Edit
The Compassion Fruit and Strawberry Lab are the best ones I’ve tried. First time getting the hot cocoa, so good! If you’re craving sweets, this place won’t disappoint. They do sell out so, beware of that!
Read moreEdit: The Hot Rosewater Music donut is the best one. I love rose flavored foods and this one is one of my favs!

Donut Friend Request - Edit
There were so many enticing options, but I chose Pumpkin Piebald, which is a pumpkin cake donut topped with a pumpkin glaze and cinnamon sugar crumble. I liked the strong pumpkin flavor and that it wasn't overly sweet.

Likely the best vegan donuts… - Edit
I live more than 20 miles away from this shop and I never regret the trip through LA traffic to get here. The donuts are some of the best. My favorites are the Strawberrylab and the X-ray Speculoss, but you can’t really go wrong with any of the choices here. Highly recommend.

Best treats in town! - Edit
Stopped by while walking around Eagle Rock. So many great treats that I wish I could give it a 10 star review. I had the Saves the Danish and it was literally the best treat that I have had in years. Donut Friend is a must stop location!

Ahhhhhmazing!!! - Edit
Exceeded all my expectations!!! I purchased a dozen, and I eat a Strawberry Lab before I left. It was a glazed with strawberries and cream in the middle. It was the best doughnut that I have ever had. Don’t wait, go throw your money at this place and thank me later.

Best vegan donuts ever - Edit
Finding this place was a dream come true for a donut lover. They are so dank (in the best way) and have so many amazing flavors. My non vegan friends agree they are some of the best donuts they’ve had. I started working at the DTLA location for a few months after finding it and everyone there was great too (:

The best vegan donuts there are. - Edit
The best vegan donuts there are. And, as a bonus everything in the shop is vegan so you don’t have to second guess your choice, or keep asking “is this vegan? Is that vegan?”
Read moreIt’s on the same stretch as Scoops (vegan ice cream options) and Town Pizza (vegan pizza options by the slice. But, check out my Town Pizza review).
Good stuff.

f you visit LA, this cute vegan donut shop is a must. It's a chain with a few locations and I highly recommended getting yourself to one of them.

Gosh I wish I lived closer - Edit
Holy [censored] unbelievable. Better than any non-vegan donut I’ve ever had. I didn’t really think of myself as a big donut person but these are no regular donuts. A ton of options and super high-quality. I wish I lived closer lol.
Read moreI’m happy to see they are still being very covid safe. This is a huge relief for me.

Holy Grail Donuts - Edit
I don’t know how they do it, but Donut Friend is hands down the best vegan donut shop around. I’ve tried multiple other donut shops and nothing compares. Their boston cream, salted caramel, and apple fritters are top tier. Even their donut holes are worth the drive. I wish they had a location in San Diego!

So good! - Edit
Brought two non-vegan friends with me and their words were “best donuts I’ve ever had, would have never known they were vegan”. I couldn’t agree more. They’re so good. Highly recommend. Parking can be tough but worth it.

Great vegan donuts - Edit
For several years, before I ventured vegan, I went here and bought their yummy donuts not knowing they were vegan. I loved them then and love then now.
Read moreI have so many favorites. Go in and try then all.
The shakes are amazing.

Best vegan donuts ever! - Edit
I love the traditional chocolate, maple, and Boston Cream. I do try out different flavor when I see some interesting flavors. But most of the time those special and unique flavors are not to my liking.
Read moreDonut Friend offers up so many creative flavors so I decided to get a dozen with two chocolate and a Bavarian Cream. Wow! The Strawberry Lab and Compassion Fruit are Uber delicious. They are now added to my favorites but only from Donut Friend.
I am looking forward to visit downtown location to have some more of their donuts and some ice cream soon.

I absolutely love these donuts, and did before I was vegan, too! Donuts is definitely something I’ve missed going vegan and this place has been the best I’ve tried. Speculoos is my favorite.
