Best vegan donut I ever ate!

Very fluffy and super yum donuts! Had the vanilla one and the one with rum flavour. Both were incredibly good and I wish I would have a place with such amazing donuts in the Netherlands.

Pros: Fluffy donuts, Super tasty, even the next day, Donuts are not too fatty

Pretty good donuts

They have a nice selection of GF vegan doughnuts, but I found some of them to be really moist almost like a cake. Wasn't really what I was looking for in a doughnut, but appreciate the selection. The classic vanilla was really good though.

I would like to see the apple fritter as GF vegan option.

Pros: Friendly, Selection/variety

Coffee and Donuts... the perfect pairing

I had a great time at Cartems! They have almond milk for their coffees and the latte I had was delish! I enjoyed the vanilla bean donut and my friend got chocolate! SO YUMMY! The baristas were very nice and attentive. They have WiFi and plenty of seating indoors and out! I really enjoyed Cartems.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Yummy

Cons: Literally nothing

love their vegan donut selection!

Best place to hang out, sit and work - use the free wifi and reorder coffee and vegan (optional vegan and gluten-free) donuts!
The only thing that makes me sad is that they don’t replace their non vegan donuts with all vegan donuts. Like- who needs a bacon donut?!

Pros: good price, classic and seasonal donuts, free WiFi

Cons: also have non vegan donuts

Delicious

Like its sister location on Pender it offers at least 6 vegan donuts and one of the monthly special is vegan as well.

The decor is very modern and doesn't feel as cozy as the downtown one.

Pros: Yummy

Cons: Not all vegan

Awesome Donuts!

If you're in the mood for a sweet treat, Cartems is definitely the place to go! This particular location is a great, airy spot to hang out or do some work. It has a large communal table and a lot of smaller cafe style tables. Did I mention that their donuts are divine?! They have a large variety of both cake and yeast donuts, with a great vegan and gluten-free selection. My absolute go-to is the chocolate glaze, but they have some wild seasonal flavours that won't disappoint in the least!

Pros: Yummy Vegan Donuts!, Great atmosphere, Fresh and Local

Cons: Sometimes completely sold out by mid-late afternoo

vegan donuts doesn't need much more explanation

Cartems has multiple flavours of both vegan cake and yeast donuts, as well as the standard hot and cold drinks you'd want to accompany it. They need a punch card system so regulars could earn free donuts!

Pros: lots of vegan options , sometimes get small discount for bringing your own

Cons: pricier than your run-of-the-mill donuts

Wonderful!

There have been some rumblings in the vegan community that aren't in favour of cartems donuts. I decided to see for myself how the service and the product was. I went on my birthday (Halloween) and I ordered half a dozen (all vegan) and they gave me a free donut as well. I had to share them with a few of my friends, they really blew me away. The Kitsilano location is so close to my house, I will for sure be going back.

Pros: vegan options , convenient , large variety

Cons: not full vegan, staff not so well trained (indecent of mixing up n

Awesome!

I'm glad I discovered this place! I wish I had discovered it sooner. I was staying near by and had been going to their other location on Main st. Had I know these guys were here, I would have been here every morning. Just like the other one, big open space, nice neighbourhood to walk around in, and helpful staff!

Pros: Apple fritters, Yeast donuts!, Vanilla bean heaven
