Soft and Delicious VEGAN donuts!

I love these donuts! They're soft and taste wonderful. Many past donuts I've tried are hard or grainy but not these. It's also a great place to hang out with friends or study. They have board games, swag, free wifi and more.

Pros: Lots of options for vegan donuts, Vegan drinks , Large space

Super friendly, open 24 hrs, VEGAN & GF!!!

Deserves 5 stars even though not 100% vegan.

Seriously awesome for cake donuts!!!

Not saying it’s perfect or that the vegan donuts or gluten free vegan donuts are the best we’ve ever had… but still… it’s in the “best of” class IMO.

Also, very good drinks: matcha, Thai tea, espresso drinks, etc. Great milk alternatives.

Check it out for sure!!!

Limited vegan options

I’m giving 3 starts because at least they have some vegan options. They are limited, but a few none the less. They are generally more cakey than like a real doughnut. In LA there is this doughnut shop called Doughnut Friend and they make INSANE vegan doughnuts. They are like texture wise like a doughnut I remember as a child. So I do think SloDoCo could use some inspiration from them in making more realistic options than what they have. Just could be improved! Their flavors are usually pretty good though I will say! Haven’t been here in a while since I don’t eat too many sweets, but I also haven’t been too excited to eat from here since I had Doughnut Friend. I just save any special treats for the City. But if they improved their recipe, I would probably be ordering some for special occasions more.

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Cakey Doughnuts

I agree, slodoco could do better for vegans. Have you tried Surfside Donuts in Pismo? Not sure if they still do it but used to have vegan donuts on Fridays.

Lots of variety. Taste is so so

I appreciate the variety and creativity of their vegan options. The vegan dough is also gluten free which takes away from the flavor for me. I tried the vanilla donut and their monthly special which was matcha mint. Both had yummy icing and toppings but again the actual donut dough could be better

Pros: Three different frosting flavors , Monthly vegan special

Cons: all vegan options are also gluten free

Sweet cake donuts

Loved stopping here, they sell cake vegan and gluten free donuts here, they are sweet icing with flavorful cake dough base. I don’t usually like cake donuts and these were great. Next step I would suggest to offer regular vegan fried dough donuts, it was kinda hard to go to their little display of vegan donuts when they have a huge selection of dairy donuts with all different colors, designs, and flavors sitting in the out front display. Overall a nice stop.

Pros: Great flavors

Cons: Please consider offering vegan fried donut select

Just ok

The staff is nice and the place is cute. They have some donuts that are vegan and also some that are gluten free and vegan. They’re all cake donuts which was a little disappointing.

I tried one of each. The gluten-free vegan donut was inedible. It was underbaked and dense and the flavor was overpowering and not in a good way. The vegan donut I tried was better, but small. It was also overly sweet. They were expensive as well for what you got. Overall, I was disappointed and my rating would be lower if the staff weren’t so nice and the vibe weren’t cute. They also did have very good coffee and a lot of nondairy milk options for espresso drinks.

It’s not a horrible option if you need either the sugar or the calories but it’s not anything to get excited about.

Very good staff and food!

The vegan options were very good! They have a separate area for vegans and gluten free and the gluten free ones are vegan as well. The employee was very helpful and checked which coffees were vegan. I got a mocha with coconut milk!

Pros: Vegan and gluten free, vegan coffees

Cons: a little crowded since it’s near a college

A great variety of vegan doughnuts

I was pleasantly surprised by the collection of vegan doughnuts. There were several to choose from!

I was sad that they don’t make vegan yeasted doughnuts, but the cake doughnuts are amazing as is. I usually don’t like cake doughnuts, but these ones are light and airy. I’m definitely coming back for more!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Light and airy cake doughnuts, Friendly staff

Cons: No vegan yeasted doughnuts

Vegan Cake Donuts

SloDoCo. offers a variety of vegan cake donut options! They have a separate counter where the vegan donuts are stored. Would have loved to seen vegan raised donuts, but beggars can't be choosers.

Pros: Variety, Friendly staff

Cons: No raised vegan donuts, Pricey, Long wait times

Vegan dessert in SLO!

That lavender vegan donut. It’s my new obsession. It keeps me coming back. The icing is a pretty purple and tastes very floral. The cake part is perfection. They had about 5 or 6 vegan options the nights I stopped by (including a cinnamon sugar that they said tasted just like a churro, a vanilla with ice cream cone pieces on top, and a variant on the glazed lavender that had chocolate chunks on top). I’m so glad they don’t just have one vegan option and call it a day, like many places! The spot looks super cool to hang at, so I hope to have the opportunity when it’s safe to.

Tried to go here but the line can be over an hour

I never got to try the donuts because I waited in line for so long. The line was out the door and through the parking lot and we never made progress because college kids were just letting more people cut into their spot so I gave up. Want to actually try the donuts eventually!

No raised vegan donuts

Came here ready for donuts, but they only sell cake donuts- not raised for vegans. Very disappointed.

What A Treat!

Vegan donuts 24 hours a day?!? Wow!!! SLO is definitely spoiled. Speaking of which, my sister purchase a half dozen of these beauties to bring to a family beach outing. I tried the Lavender -- which she and my hubby pronounced as tasting too much like soap -- as well as the Vanilla with Chocolate Chips, and the Cinnamon Sugar -- my sister's fave flavor. Honestly, I liked them all and was stoked by how light and fluffy they were. Definitely very fresh. I hope to try more flavors on a future trip.

Good dough nuts!

This place is a must go to if your in the area. They are open 24 hours and is usually always have vegan dough nuts. One down side is they need to expand the type of dough nuts they make for vegans. I miss yeast based dough nuts SO much and the batter they use for their vegan ones is all the same. But good price, location, and sweetness!

Pros: Good amount of options , Friendly atmosphere

Cons: No yeast based dough nuts

Rotating vegan donuts 24/7

Slodoco is a SLO favorite for most and it's nice that vegans are included too! They always have vegan donuts available and you can always make drinks vegan by substituting the milk. A very popular study space for students but if you're just grabbing and going, it'll be quick.

Pros: 24/7, Quick service , Always has vegan options

Cons: Always full of people
