This is a cute place with a good variety of delicious and beautiful donuts. Coffee drinks are also great, and prepared quickly by a friendly staff. Looking forward to trying more.

Great flavour selection

My partner and I visited this place due to all of the reviews (we love yeast donuts) and had to try it. I had the sea salt glazed twist and she had the French toast donut. Both were so yummy and pillowy. Adding it to our list of places to go back to!

Obsessed!

Such a cute donut shop, and all of the flavors are fantastic! My favorite are the Bavarian cream, strawberry pop tart, and maple! Everything was phenomenal and the atmosphere is absolutely adorable. I highly recommend this shop. The owners were also very nice!

Pros: Strawberry pop tart donut, Bavarian cream , Cute atmosphere

Amazing donuts

This should be voted as one of the top donut shops in the country,vegan or otherwise. The staff is so friendly and seem genuinely happy to see you. Great selections of different flavors. Majority of the donuts are yeast raised, but there are a small selection of cake donuts. Creative flavors, amazing taste.

AMAZING DONUTS

I really can’t get over how good the donuts are at Dough Joy. The flavour offerings (when I went in, a couple different pumpkin, strawberry milkshake, and poptart, to name a few) were inventive and most importantly, delicious.

Further, the shop is super cute and the associates staffing it very nice and helpful. A must visit when you are in Seattle.

Amazing!!!

I had the cookies and cream donut was lovely the donut itself was so good. I had the Boston cream as well it was good but personally for me was just a little too much filling but was still good. The staff was very polite, they had lots of options which I would have loved to try.

Great

- pop tart donut - great 8.6/10 - would have liked a more jelly-like filling rather than that filling. It was kinda too thick and not ideal. Also exploded out of the bottom right away.
- French toast donut - great 9/10

Fully vegan place even with sugar not refined with bone char!

Very flavorful and unique doughnuts, well-named!

Yes, these doughnuts inspire joy and the staff were helpful and welcoming. They have some unique flavors that you won't find elsewhere along with some hard to find vegan options --creme-filled and fritters. The doughnuts smell and taste amazing. We tried the manjo-taijín, beautiful glittery pride doughnut, coffee, apple fritter, chocolate creme-filled, and poptart with strawberry filling doughnuts. All delicious.

Pros: Strong and unique flavors, Look and smell good too!, Creme and jam filled options

The best in town

An absolute donut gem here in Seattle! Amazing for plant-based eaters and just as good for those that consume anything... seriously!

Dough Joy offers donuts, drinks, and a wonderful ambiance. Staff was super friendly and welcoming.

We purchased a coupon online for a donut/drinks special, so definitely look for one before coming here to save! Their old fashioned donuts are amazing as well as their puffy brownie/rainbow ones, fitting for the area.

Their Lavender Chai was also one of the best I've ever had and the extra donut bites thrown in are a wonderful touch.

Let this place bring you joy because it certainly does for me every time I visit Seattle.

Super fluffy and delicious

Loved the donuts, got the pride one and also tried everything bagel. The only thing I’d want is more filled donuts, like raspberry or strawberry would be incredible!

The best!!!

The fluffiest doughnuts I’ve ever eaten. Seriously tops any doughnut in Seattle. The flavors are amazing and not too over the top like voodoo. Their specials are always unique and in the best way possible.
I’ve been wanting to try them since they were in their truck but never made it in time before they sold out or closed! They finally extended their hours for late night on select fri/sat (follow their instagram for updates)!

Pros: Super soft and fluffy, Great flavors, Nice environment

Must stop here if nearby

These are some of the best vegan donuts I have had in the entire Pacific Northwest region. Every time I am up in seattle i get some. The staff is lovely, the seasonal flavors are always fun, and they also have good coffee! Check them out!!! #Veganuary

Pros: Great Selection, Coffee, Kind Staff

Cons: Parking

5 stars - Inventive and tasty flavors

The app is bugging out saying I can’t give it 5 stars even though this is an all-vegan shop.

Since I strongly prefer yeast-raised donuts and their flavors are on point, this place is my new favorite donut shop. Was so excited to get to try it when they opened their food truck in Ballard, and still get excited to try their new inventive (and also the standard!) flavors when I get the chance.
I’m also a sucker for good branding and theirs is beautiful, I’d like to meet the designer and give them kudos!

Excellent all around

A fully vegan donut coffee shop is excellent in and of itself, but this one has creative flavors and delicious donuts. We enjoyed a latte with blackberry vanilla flavor, along with an apple fritter, twisted cinnamon, and a seasonal special caramel cherry donut. Plus the restroom is cute too.

Pros: Aesthetic , Delicious donuts, Unique flavors

A place I bring omnis to impress

I personally do not like donuts or sweet things but I always bring Omni friends here. I’m told these are the best donuts period. My partner loves the cookie butta and everything but the bagel donuts but he likes trying their specials too. This week was peppermint mocha. He said it didn’t taste very much like mocha but he loved the minty-ness.


Edit: D’s new favorite is the Bavarian cream!

Photogenic, fun, fluffy donuts!

I started eating Dough Joy when they only had the food truck and have had their donuts multiple times, though not regularly. Their shop is colorful and bright, and the staff has always been very welcoming. The donuts are also always beautifully presented and all the ones I've eaten have been very fresh. I love that they do yeasted donuts as I much prefer them to cake doughnuts. My favorite donut in general are fritters, so my only critique is just that I think the apple bits in theirs are a bit sparse, and their overall shape have been very smooth, instead of lumpy with a lot of crevices that the glaze can accumulate in. Prices are slightly higher, but typical for Seattle.

Pros: Fresh!, Bright, clean, colorful decor, Friendly service

very good *raised* donuts

I just want to walk in a donut shop and know that I'll be able to get a normal raised donut, and Dough Joy delivers on that! Variety of flavors alongside the basics, including filled donuts. Mighty-O was the only game in town for a while and they are not that great. So happy to have this alternative.

I just wish they had better hours. It seems like whenever I have a donut craving, they're closed.

Pros: raised donuts, variety

Cons: limited hours

Excellent donuts

I’m not the biggest donut fan, but these were amazing. We tried the strawberry milkshake and the chocolate donuts and they exceeded expectations. Coffee even came with a little donut hole.

5 Stars

Won’t let me rate it 5 stars for some reason but it was a 5 star trip. So cute with about 15 different types of donuts. Got the strawberry frosted, Boston cream, and raspberry jelly. They were all delicious!
