Fantistic Coconut and Lime Doughnut - Edit
Really delicious coconut/lime doughnut. They almost had too many options to choose from. If I lived in LA, I'd go back all the time. Very kind staff as well!

Love this place - Edit
I first went here in 2019 when I was in LA for my birthday. The Donuts are amazing and Strawberry Lab donut was my favorite and was one of the best donuts I've had in my life. I do think that the highland park location has better quality though. When I went to this location this past August I did not enjoy the location as there was nowhere to sit and eat and no parks nearby either.

Must try the ice cream! - Edit
We went for the donuts and ended up with ice cream (and donuts). I didn’t catch the name of the woman working, but she was so friendly and let us try what seemed like every flavor of ice cream. The ice cream uses a soy milk base and is the creamiest I’ve ever had! Every flavor I tried was incredible: mint chip, cookies and cream, orange creamsicle and banana.

Delicious - Edit
A variety of donuts for everyone’s tastebuds. Crème brûlée and the strawberry shortcake are my favs. Parking isn’t the best because of it being downtown, but it’s worth it for me whenever I visit Los Angeles.

GIMMIE MORE - Edit
Had already tried these donuts at Creamo and I had to get more! My brother said these are the best donuts he’s had in LA and he isn’t even vegan. I had the Give Up the Toast previously and it was sooo yummy I was scared to be disappointed, but I got the Apple Fritter and it was actual perfection. I triple checked the website to make sure they are plant-based. Seriously so good, please go here. 😋

5 Stars - Edit
Will only let me give 4 stars but it was a 5 star experience. Donuts were out of this world. Tried the strawberrylab because it’s their most popular and now I understand. The x-ray speculoos was also delicious. Also ordered the caramel on parade and the Fritter Seems Forever. Everything is delicious!

So many tasty donuts 🍩 - Edit
We loved this place. Surely you can spend a lot of money as they have many different ones to try😉but about 4 $ per donut is worth it.

Don’t read this review. Just go. - Edit
Such a variety of creative options!! Each donut is gorgeous but obviously crafted with taste in mind too. Before I was vegan I felt like every novelty donut was made for Instagram and not consumption… and as a vegan I’m lucky to get a plain cake donut as an option. Neither is the case here! Omni friend said they were the best donuts he’s had in his life.
Read moreAlso! They ARE 100% vegan, despite the fact that this is not apparent at all from going to the store… definitely freaked me out the first time I went haha
Cons: Price :,) but it’s worth it

Best donuts I've ever had - Edit
Donuts have reached their ultimate form at this place. The store is gorgeous, just rows and rows of heavenly, fluffy, beautiful donuts. They also have ice cream and shakes. I'm from Philly, where most places run out of donuts by noon, so I was shocked that this heavenly spot is open until 8pm - until EIGHT PM!! When my lazy self sauntered in at 12:30pm, they still had every single donut available, each more beautiful than the next. I was overwhelmed by choice, but luckily the friendly staff person was there to take me through the must-eat options. All their recs were stellar. They serve both yeast and cake donuts, so everyone will be happy. Everything was fantastic, but I'd say the yeast donuts are the winners here. The Strawberry lab blew my mind - I have never been this close to crying while eating a donut. It's pillowy soft, perfectly glazed and absolutely stuffed with whipped cream and strawberries. Just unbelievably good. My partner preferred the creme brulee one - also delicious. It felt like a place where you can't order wrong. I will be going back. And also fantasizing about this place for a long, long time. Please come to Philly, you absolute wizards of dough.
