Be sure to visit

This place is a real destination in Portland, and they’ve earned it. Don’t go in expecting Dunkin’ Donuts - the signature product here is a moist cake donut made with Maine potatoes.

I really appreciate that they don’t have a “vegan tax” where our items cost more than the “regular” stuff.

Pros: Good vegan options, No “vegan tax”, Walkable area

Cons: Can be crowded

Wow!

Honestly I was skeptical of the potato factor, and my original first bites weren’t impressive, but as I kept eating the donuts got better and better! They had about 4-5 vegan options which is a lot for most stores. When I come back to Portland I’m coming back to Holy Donut!

Great vegan options

This shop had a variety of vegan options (maybe 6-8 choices). I got the pomegranate and toasted coconut and my husband got original and fresh lemon. They were delicious! Very similar to cake-style donuts in texture

Pros: Many vegan options

Good vegan donuts

Purchased half a dozen vegan donuts on the way out of town for a road trip last week and was pleasantly surprised that they were still quite fresh and yummy two days later. This business has been around a while and I do find the limited vegan options get a little boring if you buy them too often; it would be nice if they came up with some new flavors, like who wouldn’t like some vegan chocolate or jelly donuts?!

New location on Commercial Street

Be prepared to wait in a line. They’re delicious and I appreciate the handful of vegan options. I will say they’re a bit dry, but they’re donuts and they’re vegan - I loved them.

First timer- AWESOME DOUGHNUTS!!!

Just popped in for a couple doughnuts... this time around. I got a coconut one and a lemon one. Coconut is my go-to flavor and lemon is a flavor I’m continuing to acquire a taste for and both of these doughnuts were so good. I will most certainly be back for all of the flavors on the rack, and some coffee.

Pros: Vegan doughnuts, Friendly staff, No wait time and not sold out in PM

Vegan Donut Heaven

Walked in and saw a huge vegan sign with a whole row of vegan donuts! I think if you’re vegan you know that we usually don’t get a lot of options to pick from, so it was tough picking just a few! They were delicious! Highly recommend :)

Road Trip Donut Stop!

I think I'd give them 5 stars if we went earlier in the day, but we grabbed these 15-20 minutes before they were closing while we were passing through Maine. I never had a potato donut before, and I wasn't disappointed! They're pleasantly dense and they have tasty flavors. Some were too sweet for me, but I'd LOVE to try a chocolate one some day. I'd return here.

Pros: Unique, Filling, Great Location

Cons: Very Sweet, Limited Options (for time of arrival), Pricier (than the average donut)

Vegan Donuts! Need I say more?!

The Holy Donut is off the charts good! It took a few days for us to get them, because every time we stopped in, they were busy as hell with the line out the door. This was over the weekend so I’m sure that contributed to their busyness, plus it’s a small shop so it doesn’t take long to fill up the waiting area.

We popped back in on a weekday and didn’t encounter a line. They had about six vegan options for that day and we picked the chai, cinnamon sugar, pomegranate and berry donuts. The chai was my fav and my husband loved the cinnamon sugar. They’re a little pricey but totally worth it! They’re very filling too.

I overheard multiple people ranting and raving about their donuts while we sat at a small, window bar with stools and tried our selections. The donuts are worth the wait! My hubby also really enjoyed their coffee, which is a self-serve, little station to the left of the shop.

Pros: A variety of vegan options , Delicious , Helpful, nice staff

Cons: Can be very busy , Expensive but worth it

THEY COOK THE VEGAN DONUTS IN THE SAME OIL AS NON VEGAN

I am really disappointed in Holy Donut for the cross contamination.

Unique & Delicious

Stopped in and had two donuts, triple berry and cinnamon sugar. Both exceeded expectations. The place is one of a kind and had about 6 Vegan Donut Options foe choose from. The only downfall I would say is the its a little on the expensive side for donuts.

Amazing

Tried every flavor they had for vegans, all were amazing. Lemon, triple berry, pomegranate, coconut, all so delicious I bought half a dozen to bring back home a few hours away. A must try for everyone who loves donuts. Perfect consistency and taste, personally.

Pros: Handful of vegan options, Delicious

Cons: Can have long lines in the morning

Delicious, filling donuts

These vegan options are worth the wait in line. I personally love the triple berry and the chai. The donuts are super dense and filling and perfect paired with a cup of coffee. Always asking for more vegan options and hoping that more will come as demand increases.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Delicious , Local company

Cons: Not entirely vegan menu, Long wait time

Amazing donuts!

I love their donuts.
My favorite is the Chai, but it's a seasonal choice so i buy in bulk and freeze them. They are still good once thawed & reheated!

just came for the donuts!!

it's so hard to find vegan donuts and it is tied as being one of the best vegan donuts i've ever had in my life (along with a place in NYC forget the name) the baristas/staff were really nice too. if they were a fully vegan cafe i'd be in heaven🌤👼

Holy Vegan Donuts!

The Holy Donut makes two vegan options: the cinnamon sugar and the berry glazed. I've only tried the cinnamon sugar but it was probably the most delicious donut I've ever had! I've never been a huge fan even before going vegan, but this donut was so fluffy and flavorful. Just a warning this place is very popular and they close when the sell out. Because there are limited vegan options, there is a chance that if you go later in the morning or early afternoon that they would not have any vegan donuts left. Get there early and leave happy!

Pros: vegan donuts, delicious

Cons: sell out early

Long line out the door on a Sunday morning but it moved pretty quickly. Picked up all the vegan options they had and they were very good!

Pretty incredible

The USP is the potatoes, which you can’t really taste. We had all three of the vegan choices on the day: the coconut was the best, but the cinnamon sugar was a close runner up.
