Vegan doughnuts 🌿😋

Saw a sign saying vegan doughnuts, was not expecting to have so much choice. At least 5 or 6 to choose from. I got the raspberry jam and the Homer. Delicious

Amazing doughnuts & pastries

Lots of choice of different doughnuts, cinnamon rolls and pastries. Coffee too but i didnt get a drink. Just the 6 doughnuts. Any 6 for £18. Not bad £ per doughnut. Quite heavy and dense, i prefer a lighter doughnut but they tasted great especially the biscoff custard filling.

Pros: Doughnuts , Vegan, Cinnamon rolls

Great pastries, why don't they just go fully vegan though?

Spotted this place of an evening and decided to go back the next day for birthday pastries and coffee. I'm confused as to why they don't just go fully vegan instead of making their drinks with dairy milk? Both times we went in the staff seemed unhappy...
The berry crumble bun I had was nice but didn't taste that fresh and my partner said his doughnut was really tasty.
I ordered an iced matcha latte and it was grainy and not that pleasant.
I'd happily go back again though!

Pros: Great range of pastries and sweets treats , All pastries are vegan (I think), Nice Brighton location

Cons: They still offer dairy milk, Not the friendliest staff , Not a great matcha latte

Sugar rush

Vegan bakery with dairy milk option on drinks. Called in for a coffee and was so tempted by the wide choice of vegan pastries. Coffee was 5 ⭐️ plus, sweet voices were an almond pastry for me and a 🍩 for my son. Delicious.

Amazing!!

All of the pastries were vegan! Everything looked so good but I went with a cinnamon bun and my friend had the biscoff donut and both were incredible! Can’t wait to go back!

Pros: All vegan pastries, Friendly staff, Central location

Lovely vegan bakery

Wide selection of cakes and pastries in the North Laine area. I had the chocolate sprinkle doughnut and berry crumble bun, both of which were very tasty.

Amazing Vegan bakery!!

Such a wide assortment of great vegan pastries! (I am not sure why it’s not showing up as vegan because the entire bakery is vegan?)

Super nice doughnuts

We bought three of the doughnuts to go - the Homer and two of the cinnamon roll doughnuts. They were all super delicious, kept well all day and I have no complaints. If I knew they were that good, I would have bought more to take with me for the 5 hour trip.

Nice deserts

Loved the bun filled with raspberry jam! It was so hard to decide what to eat because everything is vegan and everything looks so good. Dying to try some more of them!
It would have been great if there would have been some places to sit.
Be also aware of the fact that they might be sold out at some point of the afternoon.

Mmmmm, doughnuts!

Down to Earth has a really huge selection of huge doughnuts and buns - the kind of place where it's hard to choose (we vegans don't get to experience that very much in most areas!) I went for the Homer which is a large ring doughnut with bright pink icing and colourful sprinkles, and it really does look like something straight out of the Simpsons. The icing and doughnut were both really good and I'd love to try one of the buns next time.

All the buns/donuts are vegan and huge!

Had the toffee apple bun, wow it was massive! Cost £3.50 which I think is fine for the size. It was delicious. Everything seemed vegan but I'm not sure if the whole place is fully vegan.

Delicious donuts and buns. All vegan. Located on a very cute street. PS. All displayed pastries were vegan, the place deserves 5 stars

Donuts as big as your head!

Ok, so not quite, but pretty big all the same :)

Very filling dough, so don’t be thinking it’s wafer thin air (hello Greggs) or sweet and squishy (a la Krispy K).

We found the glazed chocolate and cinnamon roll to be more bread like that soft dough. Couldn’t eat the whole thing in one sitting, but the remainder made for a nice snack once home with a cuppa.

For the size of the donuts, I found the prices pretty reasonable. I’ve paid more for a lot less (both in size and quality).

Would like to try a filled donut next time we’re in town!

The most amazing doughnuts

I stopped by here for a doughnut as they looked INCREDIBLE! They were so big and pretty reasonably priced (av. £3 each). They had lots of options available for vegans, I had the classic jam doughnut, and we also got a “the homer” and a cinnamon bun - they were all delicious! The lady in the shop was super lovely too 😊

Pros: Good value for money, Delicious , Lots of choices

6 star friendly bakery

Fully plant based, so deserves 5 stars actually 😄💛 Had a half donut with creamy biscoff filling. Was not too sweet, which I liked so I even give it 6 stars ☺️

Delicious donuts

Ate a delicious donut here, with biscoff custard. The place is 100% vegan though. This needs to be edited on this app. Next time I'll take a matcha, tumuric or beetroot latte too.

Pros: Delicious

Great selection of vegan pastries!

We found this little gem by accident. They had a great display of vegan pastries! It seems all the pastries they sold were vegan. I had a pain au chocolate and cinnamon bun. Both delicious! I would definitely come here again!

I love this place

The coffee is so good and I adore their donuts. There is also one in hove i used to go to and sit in. Sadly this one you can’t sit in but SO worth going to for the coffee and vegan buns. The staff have always been so nice in both of their shops.

I was under the impression this place was fully vegan. Lots of vegan baked goods, all really comforting to eat. Centrally located in the lanes - just a very cute cafe.

Pros: Great location, Lots of options, Good prices

Huge doughnuts

Tried the vegan chocolate doughnut with sprinkles. Was yummy, sweet and large! Perfect for sharing. Not sure this place is entirely vegan though. Good spot if you want something sweet!

Pros: Good size, filling
