Best vegan doughnuts in London!

Multiple vegan options (probably more than the non vegan ones) and very clearly labelled. Only downside is they're a bit pricey (the ones pictured were £5 each) but well worth it for a treat after dinner or in our case after a show!

Large donuts

Clearly labeled vegan donuts. Has several options, and the portion is big.

Great donut, lots of vegan choice

Such a nice biscoff donut! 🍩 they have several vegan options, with pretty random names hahaha. Next I want to try the one with the jammy dodger on top?!?!?

Very very sweet!

My husband bought me a box of 6 vegan doughnuts. Incredibly sweet but such a good selection! Shared them out between us all at home. The dough itself is really lovely just too much sugary icing for me to eat an entire one.

Pros: Good choices , Tasty

Cons: Quite pricey , incredibly sweet

Cutest little shop with the most amazing doughnuts

Yes, Doughnut time is pricey, but is it worth it? More than yes - I would sell a kidney for a doughnut from them. I always forget my doughnut stamp card though😒

A nice little hole in the wall doughnut shop - sadly it’s in the middle of a busy street and there’s no seating.
Doughnuts were delicious!

Great range

Great selection of really delicious doughnuts. Vegan options have as much effort put into appearance as non vegan options

Too good!

Probably more than half the flavours are vegan and I wanted to try them all! I ate three in two days, oops (the red velvet “Sia Later”, the cookie dough “Ice Ice Bae Bae” and the Biscoff “David Hasselhoff”) and I would do it again…

Great selection of vegan doughnuts

We were a group of 5 where I was the only vegan, and we all ordered the vegan doughnuts. They were honestly the ones that looked the most appealing, and they had so many to choose from!

I had the vegan Halle Blueberry (vegan blueberry doughnut) and oh my god it was so good! I didn’t taste any of the other one’s doughnuts, but it seemed as if everyone was enjoying theirs. I wish I went back again when I was London, but I will definitely be back!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Perfect doughnuts

A few vegan options

I stopped in maybe around 8pm so the selection wasn't great but I was able to get a vegan Lotus biscoff doughnut. It was super sweet but a nice treat. I think the doughnut cost about £5.

Great selection of delicious doughnuts

What I love about Doughnut Time is even though they aren't fully vegan almost every time I visit they have more vegan doughnuts than non-vegan ones. I've tried a variety of their doughnuts and they've all been really tasty. This time me and my partner went for a "David Hasselhoff" (The Biscoff one) which is definitely our favourite. It was delicious as usual and although it's expensive at almost £5 for a doughnut we've learnt that one doughnut is good enough to share between us as they are really sweet! They've also got a loyalty card where you can buy eight doughnuts and get one free.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Delicious doughnuts, Lots of locations

Cons: Would be 5* if fully vegan!

Sold out quickly and bad value

Was expecting a big range of doughnuts but on a weekend evening there was hardly anything left. Got the glazed doughnut which was far too sweet and not worth the £4.75.

Cons: Expensive, Too sweet

Five stars if all of theirs doughnuts was vegan ⭐️

I was so amazed finding this place! They have so many vegan doughnuts options! I bought their red velvet doughnut and it was so delicious! Not so dry I sometimes find other vegan doughnuts can be. And it had a lovely creamy frosting on top! Couldn’t be better💖 I’ll definitely be back! #Veganuary

Pros: A LOT of vegan options

VEGAN DONUTS 😍

We got 4 of the vegan donuts (APPLE CRUMBLE & FITCH, LIAM HEMSWORTHY, DAVID HASSELHOFF, and PUT A RING ON IT) and they were so so good. I didn’t realize how much I loved that lotus biscoff spread stuff, but the DAVID HASSELHOFF was my favorite right after the PUT A RING ON IT. It was really rich and sweet - no way I could finish one on my own, but still so great. Thank you.

Doughnut Time

Stumbled across this place on the last day of my visit to London, I wouldn't normally spend this much on doughnuts (£16 for a 4 pack) but I was on holiday and been treating myself. I got a Queen Liz (limited edition for the Platinum Jubilee. Filled with custard, dipped in rhubarb cream glaze, piped with red and blue glaze, topped with silver sugar and a fondant Queen), David Hasselhoff (Filled with Lotus Biscoff spread, dipped in caramel glaze, drizzled with chocolate glaze, topped with caramel buttercream and a Lotus biscuit), Fairy Godmother (iced with rainbow sprinkles) and Liam Hemsworthy (Red velvet doughnut piped with cookies and cream buttercream and topped with chocolate cookie pieces and chocolate drizzle).
I've only had one so far (the Fairy Godmother) and so far it's been worth the money. They are proper thick doughnuts with a nice fluffy inside. Very sweet but I have a sweet tooth, may not be to everyone's tastes.
The store has a large selection of vegan options, I'd say at least half the selection is vegan so there is plenty of choice. It's been a few hours since my visit but I think they are cashless too which is a plus in my book.

Pros: Delicious, Large vegan selection, Cashless

Cons: Pricey, Not all vegan

Vegan Doughnuts ✨

Finally vegan doughnuts! It was fun to finally find some to try out!
They were big in size!👏🏻
I actually bought every single one they had that was vegan, to try out! I normally don’t eat sweets like this, so wanted to try.
I was exited to taste the different ones! Sadly it disappointed in taste, they all tasted the same; JUST A WHOLE LOT OF SUGAR 😅😂
As vegan doughnuts they were nice!
My favorite was absolutely the original one and the absolute favorite was the “pump up the jam” (it had raspberry fillings, and it actually tasted like raspberries 😜) which was probably the only one that had a significant flavor!

Pros: 7 Vegan options , Big size doughnuts

Cons: No vegan & GLUTEN-FREE options , The different “flavor” tasted the same

You’ll go doughnutty for them!

Absolutely delicious doughnuts. About half the stock is vegan. Fun names. Great taste. Can’t fault it!couldn’t give 5 stars because they also serve non-vegan

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Individually boxed , Taste amazing

Cons: Lots are non vegan so need to check but marked up

Some of the best doughnuts in London

This is one of my favourite doughnut places in London. There's always a number of vegan options that are clearly labelled. The doughnuts are huge, definitely worth the price.

Incredible

There were so many choices! It took me a while to decide. The donut I chose was amazing, a lot for one sitting because it was so big. The price was worth it as it was delicious.

Bite of heaven in one Doughnut!

These doughnuts are looking so appealing and they just fit in their take away boxes.
Take one bite of it and your taste buds will tell you the rest 😉

Doughnut Time

WOW...these donuts are DELICIOUS and fancy.

They offer at least two vegan donuts each day. I went with the staff recommendation and it did not disappoint. I believe it was some sort of mocha donut with a little cookie (and some cream) on top. If I didn't know it was vegan, I would have thought it was a non-vegan donut....soooooooo delicious!
