Lots of vegan options

Good donuts available in numerous vegan combinations. I don’t usually love cake donuts but liked these.

Cake style donuts

Used to be our go to donut place.

Unfortunately the last few times we’ve gone we’ve been told that they simply don’t have vegan dough so we stopped going.

We were eating lunch nearby today so we decided to try and give them another shot.

We asked if they had vegan dough and were told that it hadn’t been made and would not be made unless someone ordered a half dozen.

We’ve never had to fulfill a minimum order amount with them before and we didn’t see the non-vegan donuts requiring a minimum order requirement either.

I don’t mind paying more for vegan options, but at least give me the option to buy one donut, I don’t need 6.

Cons: Minimum order amount , Vegan dough not always available

Nice donuts

They have vegan donuts and you choose the topping. The lady working there told me what toppings weren’t vegan and helped me choose as they have so many flavours. Delicious.

Cakey Donuts FYI

Not a huge fan of cakey donuts but these were still pretty good and the vegan glaze wasn't too great but the maple glaze was delicious. Might just be my personal taste as a maple fan though lol. Marshmallow drizzle is vegan. When you order the donut as vegan they'll make the glaze vegan too so don't worry about that. Definitely recommend grabbing one if you're getting something from the nice burger right next to it.

Pros: Nice little snack, Right next to nice burger

Fresh made doughnuts

I've been love with Duck Donuts from day one. I see now they make them Vegan. Pretty much all but a select few are Vegan. They break out the Vegan dough. All your Donuts are made fresh right in front of you so everything is fresh. You can take your Donuts next door to the food court to eat them.

Delicious donuts made fresh to order

The donuts here are really delicious! They're cooked to order, so they come out warm and fresh. They're soft on the inside with just a bit of a crunch on the outside. I think the crunch is unusual for a donut, but personally I really love it. You customize the donuts with your choice of glaze/frosting, up to two toppings, and a drizzle. Apparently the majority of the options are vegan - they don't have that info on the menu on the wall, but there's a handwritten list of the non-vegan toppings by the cash register.

I also tried the donut sundae, which is a lot pricier than a donut alone, but really delicious. You get the warm donut with frosting, topped with two scoops of ice cream, more frosting and the other toppings. The donut stays warm and crispy as the ice cream melts into it, and the flavor of the frosting almost seems to infuse into the dough. I loved the contrast in textures and flavors. Their only vegan ice cream flavor is vanilla bean, but it's creamy and tasty.

So far I've only ordered single donuts and eaten them immediately, so I don't know if the quality or texture is as impressive if you eat them once they've cooled. But the fresh donuts are pretty amazing.

If I'm judging how vegan-friendly the place is, there are some downsides. Vegan donuts cost extra. They serve meat here - there's a bacon topping which they feature fairly prominently, and they make meat sandwiches. The list of non-vegan toppings is old and tattered, and I'm not confident that they'll update it if they come out with new toppings. When I ordered the sundae, the cashier initially didn't realize they even had vegan ice cream until I pointed out that it was listed on the menu - so they may not be well trained on what vegan options are and aren't available.

Pros: Delicious and great texture, Made warm and fresh to order, Many vegan options

Cons: Serves meat, Vegan costs extra, Vegan options aren't well labeled
