Review: Why oh why can't I live in Las Vegas?
And why did I ever eat at Ronald's Donuts?
Now all I do is daydream and obsess about donuts. My life has been miserable ever since we left Las Vegas, never to eat at Ronald's again (or at least not until we return on vacation, but whatever).

Okay, this place is seriously amazing. Sure, the building is kinda a dump compared to the glitzy strip, but who cares?! The donuts are delicious and everything I've been missing since going vegan. They're all good (and trust me, I tried them all during my stay), with the chocolate glazed and the jelly-filled being my absolute favorites.

Also, the guy who works there is adorable and super nice.

 
Pros: awesome donuts * friendly service * quaint
Cons: WHY CAN'T I RATE THIS 5 STARS * *

Review: After reading all the reviews in happycow, this is a must do for vegans. I don't know how many years that I skipped on donuts. So the first bite of achocolate glazed donut with soy custard made me forget about the warnings of not eating donut (that it is unhealthy, etc. etc.) Just eat it! Cause there will be no other chance! Yummy! The donuts are soft, melt in your mouth, and not really too sweet. I ordered the apple fritter and thought that it was too sweet. But there are more choices, maple glaze, regular glazed, jelly filled, cinnamon glaze, etc. etc. Just ask them which ones are vegan. There are PLENTY!
 
Pros: cheap * soft and melt in your mouth * not too sweet
Cons: far from home * coffee is just ok * need a car to get there

Review: This place is a MUST for any vegan who lives in or who visits Las Vegas!

Vegas Veg meets at Ronald's on the 2nd Sunday of every month at 10AM.

I consider Ronald's to be vegan-friendly. There are lots of questions about whether or not the donuts are really vegan and there are always rumors within the vegan community that Ronald's doesn't really have vegan donuts. I have asked them on numerous occasions and in many circumstances whether or not their donuts are vegan (and what kind of sugar they use or what kind of cream filling they use) and they always tell me it's vegan and offer brand names if I want to check. Veg News even sent out some donuts for testing in a lab a few years ago and found NO animal ingredients. Bottom line: I TRUST THEM.

But here's what you should know:
- Some donuts are NOT vegan. Ask which ones are and they'll tell you.
- They only take cash.

 
Pros: cheap * tasty * friendly
Cons: no outdoor space * vegan donuts are not marked \ * tables are stationary

• Good to know! Thanks for this review. It's really helpful. I will go there soon and will try them. Buddhists won't lie. I had a vegan dishes made in a Buddhist restaurant (cooked by Buddhist monks) in San Francisco years ago and those were the best chinese vegan dishes I had ever had. Unfortunately, the restaurant closed now. Bummer! Let's support vegan restaurants so they don't go down the hill!. response by spiceislandvegan

Review: Vegans, when you are in Las Vegas you MUST go to Ronalds. I hadn't had a doughnut in almost 5 years and you would have thought I was a Vegas showgirl the way I kicked my legs up after my first bite! The top 2 rows are vegan. Creme-filled and tigers tail are my faves.

Review: We go to Ronald's every time we are in Vegas. We can't resist. It's total gluttony and each time we say that the next time we will only get a half dozen, but that never works. As soon as you see the shelves of vegan donuts, the dozen box comes out! The first donut is the best, before the sugar overdose sets in! lol Definitely gotta go!

Review: Went to Vegas last weekend and checked out Ronald's donuts based on the reviews here on Happy Cow. I was not disappointed. The atmosphere was a little lacking, i.e. dark, plain, not cozy - But the donuts made up for it!! Sucks that they take cash only. My husband and non-vegan cousins were converted. You could not tell the difference. Would definitely come here again next time I'm in Vegas. My soy custard-filled Bismark was the best I've had in a long time!!
 
Pros: Cheap * Delicious * Great selection

Review: I LOVE Ronald's!! I'm trying to think of an excise to go back to Vegas to get more donuts, and I literally just got back from there 3 hours ago. I ate breakfast at Ronald's with my bf and his parents on Saturday morning, and we all LOVED the donuts, you can't even tell that they're vegan. I got a dozen to bring home, plus some for breakfast this morning, and they threw in a half dozen donut holes. I didn't try the apple fritter, but my bf said it's the best one he's ever had (we've been veggie for a year, and he's had 'tons of apple fritters' and he says that he can't fault that apple fritter, it's the best one ever). I got basically one of each of the vegan donuts to bring home, and It's difficult to not go eat them all right now! they're delicious, you HAVE to go there if in Vegas!!!

Review: My husband and I just got back from Vegas and a fantastic visit to Ronald's. We asked about the sugar and the owner told me that they found a vegan brand which they are now using called Spreankle or something like that. We brought a box home and have a bit each day. I have NEVER had a donut this good, even when I wasn't vegan. It's a great shop with great owners, go there, support the place and keep vegan awareness alive.

I live in , so it's $3.50 for one vegan donut. We stayed in vegas for 4 days and had 3 dozens donuts. Totaaly greedy but well worth it! We came back to DC fat and happy!

Review: What can I say about Ronald's that hasn't already been said? I actually think there may not be any more adjectives to describe this place. Apple fritters that have to weigh almost a pound. Jelly filled, soy cream filled, cinnamon twists, maple bar, donut holes.

Even if you aren't vegan/veg, this place is a must visit. The donuts are that damn good!!!!

 
Pros: huge selection * great prices * great staff
Cons: too delicious * make me fat * I only have one mouth to eat them donuts

Review: are using to make the donuts. I called the store several months ago and at least at the time of me call the sugar is not vegan:

Hi!
After seeing the reviews of how fantastic the donuts are at Ronald's, I really wanted to go.
One of the reviews here mentioned C&H Sugar packets at Ronald's (which is bone char processed sugar, so Not vegan) The reviewer went on to say they didn't ask Ronald if he used C&H in making the donuts. So I did; the next day I was curious and called Ronald's, I asked their store hours and I asked what kind of sugar they use in their vegan donuts, Ronald said "we use C&H sugar". I explained to the owner that C&H is bone charred so isn't vegan informed him that there are other kinds of sugar that are vegan. So at the time of my phone call to Ronald, the donuts aren't vegan :(
It would definitely be good if one of the locals her would print off some information about this and give it to the owners.

 
Pros: Delicious Donuts * Friendly Staff *
Cons: Processed Sugar * *

• Actually, the use of bone char processed sugar IS a deal breaker for many vegans, using bone char processed sugar still makes a food product not vegan to lots of vegans. I did read recently that 40% of white sugar now produced in the USA is beet sugar, which is vegan; you have no way of knowing which commercial sugars are the vegan 40%, or are the bone char processed other 60% though (I don't drink tap water or cook with it, incidentally.) I feel that Ronald's is onto something great, they need to change the kind of sugar they're using though because bone charring sugar makes it Not vegan. (Mighty O Donuts in Seattle are 100% Vegan yummy donuts, so it is possible to make a vegan donut. response by Sandy M
• Not all vegans care about bone char processed sugar, it's really not a big enough deal to declare these donuts are not vegan. Even Jo Stepaniak weighed in on this debate and declared bone char processed sugar is taking things a bit far. If you're this concerned you'd better watch out for your tap water as it too is filtered through bone char. I agree that using vegan certified sugar is best, but this shouldn't be a deal breaker for a company going out of its way to provide vegan donuts.. response by Erin P.

Review: Its like every Dunkin Donut's Donut you can imagine from yesteryear but vegan. I was bummed out by the crappy Donut selection at Portland's Vodoo Donuts so I didn't have high hopes. I was really blown away by Ronalds. They have EvERTYTHING! Donut holes, Bear Claws, Long John, on and on and on... The owners work 360 days a year from 4am to 4pm. We went twice, lol. The first dozen was gone quick. The second dozen was not a good idea! then we got 2 dozen more to bring home (they keep in the fridge for a few days) for a potluck we were going to. I highly do not advise that you eat more than 4 in any given weekend. To make them vegan they let the yeast rise a little longer and use soy instead of milk products resulting in a donut that doesn't absorb as much oil. They taste just like the real thing! I'm glad Ronalds is far far away from me because I'd eat myself dead quickly. Ronalds is legendary and every vegan glutton should make their way to this mecca.

Review: I was in charge of getting donuts for a morning meeting for around 100 people. Ordered massive dozens of creme-filled, chocolate covered and lemon filled VEGAN donutgs and VEGAN apple fritters and didn't say a word to anyone. The 15 dozen donuts were gone in about 30 minutes. Lots of happy smiles and lots of MMMMs and AHHing all around but mostly on my face! Finally, I could eat something at a meeting :)
 
Pros: VEGAN * FRIENDLY * CHEAP
Cons: short hours * probably bad for you like regular donuts * can't eat just one!

Review: I live in Flagstaff, AZ and have had many of my vegan friends here tell me about these donuts. I went to Vegas in 2005 - I was vegetarian then, not vegan, and I had no idea that happycow existed. I was traveling with my very non-veg friend and her parents and we stayed on the strip the entire time. I don't really like Vegas so I knew I'd only get these donuts if someone brought them down for me, and lo and behold a few weeks ago at a vegan potluck for some traveling musicians there was a box of vegan donuts from Ronlads that the musicians had brought with them from Vegas. Vegan delicious - I was so happy. The only thing that worries me is that they taste so much like donuts that they probably hydrogentated oil in them. Does anyone know what kind of oil they use?
 
Pros: yummy * vegan *
Cons: i want to try more flavors and I can't * possibly hydrogentated?/not natural *

Review: Excellent, excellent donuts. Better than many non-vegan donuts I've had. We always buy way way too many. The custard one is one of my favorites, and my husband likes the apple fritters. We both love the twists, and the donut holes! Actually, I'm happy with just a million donut holes. They're cheap as hell. The lady who works there is very nice, and their soy milk is some of the best I've had.

it's pretty far, but if you're vegan, it's definitely worth the drive. When with vegan friends, this stop is always a MUST. We each get an entire box of donuts and a bag of donut holes, haha.

I would rate this a 5, but it won't let me.

 
Pros: Good price * Great donuts! * Nice help

Review: This is such a great place to go for not only great tasting donuts, but vegan donuts! The staff is so friendly and they really care about making vegans happy, which rated high in my book. The shop has about four varieties of vegan donuts, that are so good. The soy cream ones have a light and airy flavor that tastes of sweet vanilla, and then there are basic flavored donuts like chocolate and vanilla that taste great. They also have nonvegan donuts, but those are clearly marked and kept on the bottom shelves along with the other pastries. The staff is great, and serves up sweet donut holes along with wonderful service.

Review: one of my co-workers once told me that i should come up with a happy place to escape to in my head for when things get stressful. ronald's donuts is it. i am one of the utahans who is happy to make the detour through las vegas for this place. the last time i was there with friends, we pulled up right as the owners were leaving. heartbroken, we prepared to leave donut-less. but when the owners saw us, they waved, pulled back into the parking lot and re-opened the store so that we could load up on donuts for our drive back to salt lake. i get a warm and fuzzy feeling just thinking about it. if you are anything like me, i recommend getting only as many donuts as you truly want to eat and then getting only one additional donut for each person you plan on bringing back donuts for. if you try to bring back multiple donuts for each person you may end up eating the additional donuts and getting fat. i fall into this trap just about every time. consider yourself warned.

Review: These are the best donuts I've had, vegan or no. Their apple fritters are so moist on the inside. I visited Vegas with my (vegan) fiance and we blew about $15 on donuts on the first morning, and we bought another dozen or so before we left. They kept very well but didn't last long cause we ate them :(

Their soy-cream filling tastes like vanilla pudding, so rich and so yummy. The staff is very vegan-friendly and readily knows which of their selections are vegan and which aren't. In fact, when we went there only 4 of their 30 or so trays were not vegan, the rest were.

If you're in Vegas, you need to stop by.. only a few miles from the strip.

Review: I'm usually the critic and don't give good ratings if not deserved, yet Ronald's Donuts are by far some of the best donuts in the entire world. These donuts are so good that they won the Las Vegas award for best donuts. That is impressive for any donut, yet for a Vegan donut, it is simply AMAZING.
Yet tasting is believing. I haven't had a donut like this since giving up eggs 17 years ago. The donut holes and Lemon Creme Filled glazed donuts were my favorite.

After looking at all the reviews, everyone RAVED about their donuts, yet gave them 4 Cows. I'm not sure where the disconnect is.

The owners are devout Buddhist's and probably do not understand the Bone Char Sugar issue. It would be good if one of the locals her would print off some information about this and give it to the owners. At the same time, please do some research and let them know the alternatives. Please note, they probably get their sugar from Sysco or GFC. Please see if these companies carry a vegan sugar.

I would do it, but am leaving town tomorrow.

Ahh, the system is currently messing up and 4 cows is the maximum rating. I'm sure the owners of happy cow will fix this soon.

• Happy Cow won't allow a 5 Cow rating for places that aren't entirely vegan (I think that's a mistake because most people don't know that in advance). The cake donuts at Ronald's are NOT vegan so beware. They will happily tell you which donuts are vegan so don't be shy about asking. All the best donuts are vegan so it's all good.

Review: These donuts tasted like non-Vegan donuts! My friend had to try these when we were in Vegas. The one thing I want to say is that I wish I could eat more than one donut at a time [explanation: I have a problem eating sweets in large quantities]!!! The owner was incredibly nice and although the place seemed older, it felt very welcoming and/or comfortable. We even met some "regulars" who were sitting in the dining area – they were the nicest people ever! If you're in Vegas, it's seriously a few miles off of the strip and is well worth the little drive!
 
Pros: Good Donuts!!! * Nice Owner/Employees * Welcoming Atmosphere
Cons: Yeah, it's a pain to leave The Strip. * *

Review: try the apple roll and the soycreme. I almost cried when i found out i could have a really tasty cream-filled donut again! I am sure these things are totally bad for you, but would it still be called a donut if it were good for you? I think not.
 
Pros: DONUTS!!!! * friendly staff *
Cons: off-strip * *

Review: Many of the donuts are vegan and amazing! They taste like regular non-vegan donuts. I don't think the ingredients are natural at all, but they're really good.

Review: My sister brought over a huge box of them Ronald's Donuts, and I really felt an overdose of sugar. These donuts tasted just like regular donuts. Not sure if the sugar used is vegan or not. They tasted good on the same day, but after overnight refrigeration, they tasted kinda hard and leaves a sugary and kinda bad after taste... Well, at least vegans can have their donuts!
 
Pros: some vegan * *
Cons: very sugary * *

Review: WOW!! Like the review by "Vegan Pig" before me, I wanted to get locked in there overnight too! At first I was slightly disappointed until I realized I had misunderstood when I asked which selections were vegan, and thought that the 4 trays they pointed out were my only choices......imagine my delight when I was corrected and told that those 4 trays were the ones that WEREN'T vegan! All the rest were there for me!! Trays and trays of donuts, Vegan donuts!! Ohhhhh, I was in heaven!! It was so great! All the ones I ate were delicious! Even my non-vegan friends loved them, said they couldn't tell the difference! And of course I had to bring some back for my vegan friends too. Boy was that hard to do. (To not eat them myself!!) The owners were so nice! I thanked them over and over again, both days I went, and rolled myself out of there! Gotta do this place folks! Vegan or non-vegan, delicious donuts, wonderful feeling, and lots of business too, which is great!!
 
Pros: VEGAN! * Outstanding assortment * Yummy!
Cons: None that I saw! * *
