Best vegan donuts ever

My favourite place in the world for a vegan donut! They always have creative and delicious flavours (that change every month) seasonal drinks and the staff are really friendly. I can’t fault this place it’s simply fantastic. The donuts are always fresh, I’ve tried these so many times and I have never once been disappointed!

Pros: Fresh Donuts , Changing menu , Creative flavours

Amazing selection of donuts

Great little place in Gateshead where all the donuts are vegan! Never seen a selection like this before there were at least 10 different varieties even an hour before closing. We tried 5 different kinds (3 vegans and 4 omnis) and they were all delicious!

Pros: Fully vegan, Wide selection , Cool decor

Archetype

The Gateshead railway quarter excels even further with a vegan donut shop under the quaint and picturesque arches. A big fat one at that. We enjoyed the selection of Halloween themed donuts but I do feel there was a bit too much coloured icing for my liking. The only non-vegan item here is dairy milk to keep the “udders’ happy! Anywhere that sells vegan donuts is always a winner for me.

Pros: great donuts, 99% vegan

I've had lots of different flavours from here and each one blows me away at how delicious it it. The kids love them too and find it difficult to choose just one 🤣 When I had covid, these donuts were all I could taste! Bloody gorgeous

Pros: Full of flavour, Worth the money , Lots of options

The best vegan donuts I’ve had!

These doughnuts were sensational. The dough was perfect, the icing was delicious and the flavourS and toppings were sublime. I can’t wait to go back for more. Only wish I had bought a 12 box (my waistline doesn’t!).

Oohh sounds grate! I'll have to try them some time. I do like doughnuts. I've been loving the sugar covered doughnuts from Greggs recently but it is good to have a selection of doughnuts. X x

Favourite vegan donuts!

Love BFD with all my heart! Used to order from them religiously over lockdown and receiving my delivery on a weekend was a real pick me up! Will always grab one if I see them at a market whilst rocking my tshirt with pride! So happy to see the shop opening in Gateshead and excited to see what the future holds for such a lush business!

Pros: Delicious and unique flavours, Fresh, Super lovely owners

Donut mind if I do

I ordered an assorted box of donuts as a Christmas treat for £20 and was blown away with how good they all were. Be it the biscoff donut, the salted caramel with oreo crumb and cookie dough (reindeer), gingerbread, chocolate coated vanilla buttercream filling (wreath), vanilla icing and sprinkles (homer) or the chocolate orange glazed donuts, each were delicious in their own unique way and I would go as far to say they are up there with some of the best donuts I have had the pleasure of eating. A must experience. #Veganuary

Pros: Delicious donuts, 100% vegan, Good value for money
