AMAZING! 100 STARS!

I believe everything is vegan now (at least everything that was there today). We tried a four-pack. Each one better than the next. The texture is out of this world.

Pros: Friendly Staff, Nice Location , Best Donuts

Delicious donuts

Almost all the donuts were vegan except the ones with honey, I tried the cardamom and rose, and the yuzu swirl one, they were so tasty and really different, I felt they tasted like cake donuts and that was great!

Better than traditional donuts

They are sooooo much better than traditional donuts. Light and fluffy with incredible flavors. They don't sit like a weight in your stomach. Plus, they are all made fresh right in front of you. Fantastic! Just wish they didn't use honey in some of their donuts and drinks!

Update: I also want to shout out to all of the employees working here. You all are the nicest and most kind people ever! I love interacting with all of you. On two separate occasions different employees have complimented a part of my outfit. Brought a smile to my face.

Lovely light donuts

Very modern spot with a shared back patio area. Donuts are very light and fluffy. Not too sweet either. Got the rotating tasting box and all were delicious! Occasional donut has honey but otherwise a fully plant based spot.

Best Donuts Ever

Their donuts are soooo good. And I’ve never been a donut person. Even when I wasn’t vegan, I never liked donuts. But this place has some of the best donuts I’ve ever had. I had the ube and the schrute farm donut. Staff is very friendly too, and the food is warm and soft when it comes out! It is $4 a piece so it’s a little pricey, but a good place to come treat yourself !

Amazing donuts and drinks

The flavors change frequently and never fail to dazzle. And the homemade coconut cashew milk makes the best lattes (matcha, chocolate and coffee) I've ever had. So so good!!!

Vegan Krispy Kreme…

These donuts are made fresh to order and are so good in my opinion. The taste and texture is spot on. Just avoid the 2 donuts on the menu that use honey and you’re good to go. Highly recommend.

Pros: Perfectly hot and crispy donuts , Very nice shop with plenty of seating

Cons: Parking can be difficult due to popular location

Wow

Pro:
- cooked on demand so they’re warm and crispy
- most flavors are vegan and rest have honey
- several interesting coffee and tea specialty drinks that aren’t overpriced
- house cashew milk is not grainy at all
- drinks not sweet at all and complement the donuts perfectly
- fast service. It took 5 min to make 2 drinks and 2 donuts (but there was not line)

Con:
- iced lattes have huge chunks of ice. Would be better to add the drink to a chilled bottle to cool then serve so as to not water it down

Fresh hot donuts!

Love that the donuts are made fresh when you order! Eating a hot donut is just a different experience than an average donut shop. I have been to the location in Kauai, HI, and they are the same amazing quality! Visited this location twice while I was in town. There is one flavor that uses honey, so just double-check before you order.

USES HONEY FROM BEES - NOT VEGAN

I know it says it in the description but they do use honey from bees in several doughnuts and coffees

Made to Order Fresh

The freshest donuts around as they are made to order. I am not normally a fan of cake based donuts but these have definitely changed my outlook. The cacao cold brew was bold and flavorful.

Pros: Made to order, Fresh
