Nice - Edit
The ice cream was delicious!! I got their pumpkin one and was the right amount of pumpkin flavor. The donuts were good but not crazy good. My favorites were the mochi donut and the one with whipped cream and strawberries in the middle.

Super Sweet Donut Goodness - Edit
If you know me, you know that I love vegan donuts. And believe me when I say that this is up there with some of the best flavors and widest selections of any donut shop I've ever been to. Nearly every time that I'm in Los Angeles I try to make a stop there to grab a few donuts. My only suggestion: these donuts are SUPER sweet, and I don't recommend having them first thing in the morning! I learned that the hard way.

Virgin Voyage - Edit
This was their first location I tried. It was clean, not busy, and the doughnuts were delicious. My fave is the strawberry lab, but I have easily dropped $50-$75 on doughnuts here.

The strawberry shortcake is the best thing I have had in my life. This place is amazing and I don’t understand how it’s vegan

Raised donuts! - Edit
We dined in at this store in the morning. Every donut looked great. We got one of the raised ones, and the other probably a cake donut. The raised donut was exceptional, soft and airy plus the frosting on top blended in beautifully. The denser donut came with exciting toppings like candied walnuts and chocolate chips, and it was superb. It was served with 2 donut balls apiece, and those were amazing as well. We also got the chai tea here, seems to be from the brand Tea Pigs and was strong and refreshing

When food makes you cry 🥹🥰 - Edit
The lavender donut gives me life. Sweet, but not diabetic-coma-inducing, fresh lavender topping, simple and beautiful. A muuuust for lavender lovers.

Fantistic Coconut and Lime Doughnut - Edit
Really delicious coconut/lime doughnut. They almost had too many options to choose from. If I lived in LA, I'd go back all the time. Very kind staff as well!

Love this place - Edit
I first went here in 2019 when I was in LA for my birthday. The Donuts are amazing and Strawberry Lab donut was my favorite and was one of the best donuts I've had in my life. I do think that the highland park location has better quality though. When I went to this location this past August I did not enjoy the location as there was nowhere to sit and eat and no parks nearby either.
