5 Stars - Edit
Will only let me give 4 stars but it was a 5 star experience. Donuts were out of this world. Tried the strawberrylab because it’s their most popular and now I understand. The x-ray speculoos was also delicious. Also ordered the caramel on parade and the Fritter Seems Forever. Everything is delicious!

So many tasty donuts 🍩 - Edit
We loved this place. Surely you can spend a lot of money as they have many different ones to try😉but about 4 $ per donut is worth it.

Perfectly old fashioned fancy donuts - Edit
What did I love? All vegan but such a choice, old fashioned and fashionable, completely tasty and not a bad price. Super staff - friendly place! I loved it and will occasionally pass by in a dream.

Don’t read this review. Just go. - Edit
Such a variety of creative options!! Each donut is gorgeous but obviously crafted with taste in mind too. Before I was vegan I felt like every novelty donut was made for Instagram and not consumption… and as a vegan I’m lucky to get a plain cake donut as an option. Neither is the case here! Omni friend said they were the best donuts he’s had in his life.
Read moreAlso! They ARE 100% vegan, despite the fact that this is not apparent at all from going to the store… definitely freaked me out the first time I went haha
Cons: Price :,) but it’s worth it

Best donuts I've ever had - Edit
Donuts have reached their ultimate form at this place. The store is gorgeous, just rows and rows of heavenly, fluffy, beautiful donuts. They also have ice cream and shakes. I'm from Philly, where most places run out of donuts by noon, so I was shocked that this heavenly spot is open until 8pm - until EIGHT PM!! When my lazy self sauntered in at 12:30pm, they still had every single donut available, each more beautiful than the next. I was overwhelmed by choice, but luckily the friendly staff person was there to take me through the must-eat options. All their recs were stellar. They serve both yeast and cake donuts, so everyone will be happy. Everything was fantastic, but I'd say the yeast donuts are the winners here. The Strawberry lab blew my mind - I have never been this close to crying while eating a donut. It's pillowy soft, perfectly glazed and absolutely stuffed with whipped cream and strawberries. Just unbelievably good. My partner preferred the creme brulee one - also delicious. It felt like a place where you can't order wrong. I will be going back. And also fantasizing about this place for a long, long time. Please come to Philly, you absolute wizards of dough.

Delicious Donuts - Edit
These donuts are nice and fluffy in texture like your typical donut. They have unique flavors and classic flavors. The creme brule and peanut butter and jelly are delicious. It seems like their sizes vary a bit so the pb&j one was the biggest donut in the box.

so many donuts so many flavors - Edit
This is a fully vegan establishment. They no longer serve dairy milk for coffee, which apparently pissed off a lot of breastmilk consumers. There's all sorts of flavors for donuts baked daily, and they have a small selection of ice cream. I like their polar berry donut and for ice cream I like to get the strawberry ice cream with strawberry pieces, strawberry jam, and a few donut holes in the mix. They can bake large batches and they even have large 9 inch donuts if you ask!

Best donuts in L.A - Edit
This place was amazing. They have their own donuts you can buy out of the case or hundreds of combinations when you make your own. The staff was very friendly when I was overwhelmed looking at all the different options and didn't rush me in making my choice.

All vegan, all tastes like heaven! - Edit
They have huge variety of vegan doughnuts, some of them are customizable! It's a little bit pricey but all worth it because they are super delicious. I prefer yeast donuts to cake donuts, and Donut Friend has done it RIGHT! They have 20+ flavors to choose from, and I cannot wait to conquer all of them!

Amazing Vegan Donuts - Edit
Donut Friend is a specialty proprietor of mostly plant-based, extremely fancy delicious donuts! You'll have fun trying to figure out what punk bands they're named for, and then you'll have fun eating them! My favorite is the apple fritter, Fritter Seems Forever, (Further Seems Forever), but S'Morrissey is also an instant classic, being a S'mores donut named after Morrissey. It's bright and clean and nice inside, and they're open for takeout right now! Order ahead on their website, it's easy.
