Nice - Edit
The ice cream was delicious!! I got their pumpkin one and was the right amount of pumpkin flavor. The donuts were good but not crazy good. My favorites were the mochi donut and the one with whipped cream and strawberries in the middle.

Super Sweet Donut Goodness - Edit
If you know me, you know that I love vegan donuts. And believe me when I say that this is up there with some of the best flavors and widest selections of any donut shop I've ever been to. Nearly every time that I'm in Los Angeles I try to make a stop there to grab a few donuts. My only suggestion: these donuts are SUPER sweet, and I don't recommend having them first thing in the morning! I learned that the hard way.

Cons: Sometimes too sweet

Virgin Voyage - Edit
This was their first location I tried. It was clean, not busy, and the doughnuts were delicious. My fave is the strawberry lab, but I have easily dropped $50-$75 on doughnuts here.

Unbelievably vegan - Edit
The strawberry shortcake is the best thing I have had in my life. This place is amazing and I don’t understand how it’s vegan

Raised donuts! - Edit
We dined in at this store in the morning. Every donut looked great. We got one of the raised ones, and the other probably a cake donut. The raised donut was exceptional, soft and airy plus the frosting on top blended in beautifully. The denser donut came with exciting toppings like candied walnuts and chocolate chips, and it was superb. It was served with 2 donut balls apiece, and those were amazing as well. We also got the chai tea here, seems to be from the brand Tea Pigs and was strong and refreshing

When food makes you cry 🥹🥰 - Edit
The lavender donut gives me life. Sweet, but not diabetic-coma-inducing, fresh lavender topping, simple and beautiful. A muuuust for lavender lovers.

Fantistic Coconut and Lime Doughnut - Edit
Really delicious coconut/lime doughnut. They almost had too many options to choose from. If I lived in LA, I'd go back all the time. Very kind staff as well!

Love this place - Edit
I first went here in 2019 when I was in LA for my birthday. The Donuts are amazing and Strawberry Lab donut was my favorite and was one of the best donuts I've had in my life. I do think that the highland park location has better quality though. When I went to this location this past August I did not enjoy the location as there was nowhere to sit and eat and no parks nearby either.

Must try the ice cream! - Edit
We went for the donuts and ended up with ice cream (and donuts). I didn’t catch the name of the woman working, but she was so friendly and let us try what seemed like every flavor of ice cream. The ice cream uses a soy milk base and is the creamiest I’ve ever had! Every flavor I tried was incredible: mint chip, cookies and cream, orange creamsicle and banana.

Delicious - Edit
A variety of donuts for everyone’s tastebuds. Crème brûlée and the strawberry shortcake are my favs. Parking isn’t the best because of it being downtown, but it’s worth it for me whenever I visit Los Angeles.

GIMMIE MORE - Edit
Had already tried these donuts at Creamo and I had to get more! My brother said these are the best donuts he’s had in LA and he isn’t even vegan. I had the Give Up the Toast previously and it was sooo yummy I was scared to be disappointed, but I got the Apple Fritter and it was actual perfection. I triple checked the website to make sure they are plant-based. Seriously so good, please go here. 😋
