Delicious Donuts - Edit
Sent these to someone and they said they were delicious!! Sugar Shack has a ton of fun vegan donut options, including cinnamon roll and Samoa (like the Girl Scout cookie).

Best vegan donuts ever! - Edit
I love this shop! They always have many vegan donut options to choose from. The donuts are super fluffy, honestly the best vegan donuts I've had! I used to drive two hours just for these donuts before I moved to Richmond :)

Five Stars for vegan options here! Majority of donuts are vegan! - Edit
All the yeast donuts have a vegan base! That means like 90% of the donuts on display the day we went were vegan - yay! The only yeast donuts that weren't vegan had non-vegan candy toppings.
Read moreI had the glazed bowtie, the marble, and the French toast (not all at once though, me no pig). They were all so, so good. All the donuts had clearly been made that day, because they tasted incredibly fresh). My husband had the salted caramel and loved it.
We drove almost 3 hours for a Richmond day trip and I stumbled upon Sugar Shack on Happy Cow while we were traveling around Richmond. It was, by far, the best thing I ate while in Richmond (which I find to be an excellent food city, overall).
It was a little easy to miss, it's on the corner of Lombardy and Leigh, and a little bit back from the street. There were a few open parking spots when we went but I could see parking being a bit tricky on a weekend day (we went on a weekday).
Pros: almost all yeast donuts are vegan, lots of fun flavors

I don’t visit RVA without the promise of stopping by Sugar Shack to get my fix! The doughnuts are on point and the selection is quite large. I always buy way more than I should responsibly eat, but you only live once (unless you’re Hindu) so I’m trying to make the best of this life 🥸

“Best donuts ever” -my mom - Edit
HappyCow won’t let me rate a non vegan place five stars lmaooo. This place was amazing tho. Basically half the donuts were vegan. Super fluffy. Highly recommend the French toast flavor (no trust me i was skeptical too). Staff was SUPER friendly and gave us free cake when they found out we were vegan and it was my dad’s birthday.
Read moreYummy coffee too.
Parking available. Three minute drive from Black history and culture museum.

I’d give 5 stars if it were an option! - Edit
Let me start by saving you have to go here. There are a LOTTTTT of vegan options here. Like, at least half of the donut case is vegan. The coffees can be made with plant-based milks. But the donuts… let’s focus here. I’m talking the best apple fritter I’ve ever had (even in my non-vegan days). My boyfriend only recently went vegan and he also can attest to how no one would EVER know these are vegan. They’re the best donuts. Ever. I’m pretty sure they’re like… $1.89 each? $1.69? So it also isn’t something where a place puts the additional vegan charge we’re all familiar with. Which is awesome. Also, these are yeast donuts!!! No cake donuts, none of that nonsense. Also, the staff are really kind. This is overall just such a good place.

Tons of vegan options - Edit
Lots of vegan donuts and they’re super yummy. They also have vegan breakfast sandwiches on biscuits. I was really excited to see breakfast options because I don’t see them a ton of places but not super impressed with the food😒I saw they have vegan hot dogs, burgers and chicken too and I’m looking forward to trying those. Order ahead to save time if ordering food other than donuts.

Not sure why the hate - Edit
Sugar shack has come a long way in just a couple years. When they first brought out some vegan options they were limited and not very well done. Now, nearly half the daily donut lineup is vegan and the prices are downright cheap compared to most other vegan donut options out there
Read morePros: Lots of vegan choices, Relatively low vegan tax, Consistency from location to location

Super average - Edit
The only thing I love about sugar shack is that it’s one of the only places that offers lots of vegan options. The donut dough is average AT BEST. They have cool toppings but that’s about it. I’m so so happy they’ve made all dough vegan now. So for that I owe them a huge thank you. But otherwise, the donuts aren’t amazing unless you eat them right when their hot.

Fabulous vegan donuts! - Edit
We came to get vegan donuts and were not disappointed. More than half of their selection was vegan. We tried four varieties and they were all amazing. It might be helpful if the vegan options were labeled but the person behind the counter was very knowledgeable about which donuts were vegan and even suggested a strawberry glazed one that wasn't in the display case but was really tasty. This was especially fun for our kids because they don't often get sweet treats that are vegan when we're out and about.
