Yum

I ordered one of every vegan donut (to go) and thoroughly enjoyed each flavor, although Maple was my favorite. They are everything you want and expect a donut to be, and vegan to boot! Here are the vegan flavors available when I visited:

Fat Elvis (banana peanut butter)
The Springfield
Lemon Poppy Seed
Maple, Blueberry Crumble
Sinnamon Sugar
Tiramisu

The same venue also houses Old Abe & Co., home of the award-winning vegan Bahn Mi sandwich.

Pros: Nearly all donuts are vegan

Tasty, Fun Flavors

There were several great flavors to choose from when my husband and I visited, and it seems like one of the flavors is always twinned from the vegan cake donuts to a non-vegan raised donut. When we went, it was the tiramisu donut, which is what my husband got.

I got the ube (purple) donut, and as someone originally from Hawaii, it's really awesome to see that ube flavor is making it's way out to the Midwest now! The flavor is not that strong in the donut, so if you haven't had anything ube flavored before, this seems like an ideal mild introduction. Vegan donut had a tender crumb without being dry, and we washed our donuts down with a cold brew with oat milk--perfection!

The location itself has ramps to be accessible and appears to have an outdoor seating area in the back, although we noticed there are pickleball courts next door now, so keep that in mind if the sounds of pickleball annoy you (but you can't hear it indoors). Cashier was very friendly and informative, and we will definitely be back next time we're in town!

Pros: Delicious Vegan Cake Donuts, Fun Flavor Variety, Quirky Coffeehouse Decor

Cons: Hopefully Will Have Vegan Raised Donuts Soon

Local favorite

Drift is located in old Abe coffee. They’re honestly amazing donuts, a huge improvement compared to the donuts when drift was at forager!

The donuts are cake. There’s typically 8ish flavors a day. Some flavors are permanent (maple is the best) while others rotate based on seasons and holidays.

Pros: Amazing donuts, Good sized and priced

Cons: Not open every day

LOVE IT

Sizing options for vegan donuts, and you won’t be disappointed.

Show up early since they might be sold out of the good ones by 10.

Pros: Vegan donuts

Cons: Little options , Small donuts

Best dough

You can really tell they use quality ingredients because the taste is amazing. They have more like 5 vegan flavors now. Only catch is they're so good some flavors might sell out before you get there.

Vegan donuts & lattes! 🍩☕

The flavors were to die for! Very creative options for donuts and seasonal lattes. Donuts were small enough that you could try at least two flavors. The art on display was cute, the little shop had interesting local finds. I was in from out of town on business but would make it a regular stop if I was from the area! ♥️

Pros: Good, small batch donuts, Cozy-cute atmosphere, Friendly staff

Unbeatable vegan donuts in SE Minnesota

How do I review this establishment in two words?
Vegan. Donuts.


Small selection sells out quickly, call ahead to have a 'vegan dozen' set aside!

Pros: Donuts, Donuts, More donuts
