Fabulous Place! - Edit
The Better Doughnut is a hidden gem in Tulum. All Vegan and so many options like lattes, milkshakes and doughnuts. Everything is high quality and hand made including the delicious chai mix! They even have gluten free options that are delicious! If this wasn't enough the staff is so helpful and welcoming. I highly recommend stopping in if you are in the area!

Best vegan donuts! - Edit
I love this place! The donuts are not so sweet, this is not usually a kind of food I would eat! Usually donuts make my teeth hurt! These were delicious and I ate the whole thing! I had the orange ginger, glazed donut with orange cream inside. I also tried my husband’s chocolate. They were both delicious. The smoothies were very good, sweetened with honey or maple syrup.
Read morePros: Vegan, Very nice Owner and Staff, Fresh
Cons: They do not open till 10 AM!, It’s rather expensive, considered a splurge!

Delicious, just wished it wasn't fried in coconut oil - Edit
The flavors and presentation is great. They're nicely sweetened, not too much and not plain (just like the beverages). But the coconut oil flavor on EVERYTHING is very overwhelming. They're very tasty but not sure I'd buy again for that reason.
Read moreI don't know where or why people think coconut oil is healthy. It's not, it's proven it's even more saturated than lard. Anyway, you're eating something deep fried.. The healthwashing is unnecessary. And makes it more expensive...

Delicious! All vegan! With gf options - call ahead and they can make any flavor gf in 20 min. I got the Pistachio crème filled donut. They have a punch card, but 12 get 1 free - nice owners, I believe they are American but the kitchen staff are Mexicans😄the tip jar goes to the kitchen staff so please tip!

Amazing flavors - Edit
This shop has the most interesting flavors, and they’re perfectly sweet (not over the top like some donuts). I tried their golden milkshake and loved it (also perfectly sweet). They have an adorable back garden area for sitting.

10 STARS!! 🫶🏽✨✨✨ - Edit
Absolutely blown away by this place. All aspects of it. Best vegan donuts I’ve had so far in 7 years. Alongside the rare phenomenal quality of the ingredients, organically grown, fried in coconut oil not vegetable oil, maple syrup and cane sugar not white sugar or GMOs. And all the variety of flavours is next level (Boston cream, Black Forest etc) it just gets me so happy!
Read moreThe consciousness of the people managing the space, creating the food and being in a loving, mindful energy is an amazing bonus. There is an also a peaceful place to sit and eat the donuts outside in the back! It gets even better as you can have it delivered if you live in Tulum!! #Veganuary
Pros: Organic , AMAZING owners and staff 🫶🏽, Conscious ingredients

Come here!🥰 - Edit
This entire experience was so awesome. The owners are lovely, so sweet and helpful, and let us sample however many donuts we wanted to try before buying; Whichever donuts we wanted to order that were not already in the case, they made fresh for us!!
Read moreWe were pleasantly overwhelmed and so excited about all of the options, and the fact that everything is organic and thoughtfully formulated❤️
We ate our donuts in the back yard which is absolutely gorgeous and feels like a luxe jungle.
I had the orange ginger, and gf strawberry cruller, both very sweet. I couldn’t finish either because they are humongous and my eyes were bigger than my tummy space😂 My absolute FAVORITE, though, was the gf pineapple fritter!! They made it fresh for me and it was perfectly sweet, crunchy, soft and fulfilling
I’m definitely coming back next time I’m in Tulum, and ordering the mini donuts so I can try even more flavors!😆

Do not miss - Edit
Better doughnut has some of the best vegan doughnuts ever. They are light and very flavourful and there are so many to choose from. The owners are lovely and will let you try out some of the flavours before you buy. There are plenty of gluten free options, I even tried the Apple fritter gf and it was amazing. If a favour is not on the shelf they will make it fresh for you. Could not reccomend them enough.

Yummy!! - Edit
Super yummy doughnuts!!! I was so excited to see such a variety of flavours as being a vegan you don't tend to get lots of options. This place has not only a variety of tasty flavours, there was clearly creativity in the ingredients. The owner kindly made up small tasters of each flavor so you could sample before you buy. Will definitely return here when I come back to Tulum and I regret only buying 4! Thankyou

The *Best* Donut - Edit
Never have had a tastier donut in my life, and instead of feeling sluggish you leave feeling satisfied and belly-happy. Great selection of original, organic donuts as well as some beverage options - the blue spirulina lemonade is amazing! Nice atmosphere with a super friendly staff.

Lives up to its name - Edit
One could be forgiven for thinking “artisanal donut” is an oxymoron, but there are a few places on earth where it isn’t. The Better Donut serves visually beautiful donuts made with organic flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, and other quality ingredients, and the resulting taste and texture place them in the realm of breakfast-worthy baked goods.
Read moreSince we rarely see vegan donuts, let alone vegan donuts made with healthier ingredients (and without nasty stuff), we had to give them a try. It’s still a lot of bread and sugar for our tastes, but a nice treat. I wish they had my favorites (cinnamon rolls and apple fritters), but maybe I’m lucky they don’t.

You will have a donutgasm!!! - Edit
these are by far the best donuts I have ever eaten, especially vegan too!! I used to love krispy krems years ago but they are all the same and batch made (and flat as hell)... I want a donut that when I eat it I have to wipe my face after!! When I tried one I ate another within seconds of finishing because I died and went to donut heaven!!!!
Read moreIf you go to tulum and dont go to this donut shop, I would have to say your life will be missing out on a better day with the better donut!!!
I LOVE DONUTS AND WILL DO ANYTHING FOR MOREEEE!!!! hahah but for real, these are the best, fluffy and organic donuts I have ever eaten!
I couldnt upload a video so here is a screen shot of my face mind donutgasm !!!!
Pros: better than krispy krem , they are fluffy AF, organic & vegan
Cons: the fact i can only eat 2 (they taste amazing), how can you write cons about donuts??, 4th pro... they have such warm energy!

Incredible - Edit
I am in weekly doughnut comas because j can't get enough. I'm an organic freak too so happy to know everything is sourced and made with love in the cleanest way. But despite being healthy they are more delicious than any doughnuts I have ever eaten. A must try if you are in Tulum
