Several vegan options! - Edit
So glad we tried this place. The vegan sammie was bomb! Pretty sure it was just egg, and maybe field roast breakfast sausage and a cheese slice on vegan yeast donut, which is not frosted. Sooo good! We also got a few of the OGs…because everything else was sold out. We stopped by on a Sunday around noon. So go early if you want a variety.

Too sweet for me - Edit
Mostly vegetarian-friendly. This place is great if you like your donuts to be more like dessert, which I know many people are into but it's way too sweet for me. I like a more basic doughnut. However, if you like a sweet donut and a good sugar rush, they've got what you're looking for in a nice atmosphere and drinks like tea and coffee with w/plant-based milk to go with it.

Holy sweetness! - Edit
Disclaimer: I am not a sweets person. The maple bar was perfect, spot on. Ordered a half dozen sampler and tried several but could only take a bite of each they are so huge. Reminescent of my childhood when my dad would go pick up donuts on Saturday morning but I just can't do this sweet anymore. Would have probably been fine ordering just one and splitting it and having my sweet-tooth satisfied for the next 6 months.

So many vegan options! - Edit
Guru is a Boise staple, and one of the few places that offers vegan donuts. I love the flavors they have, and that it's a rotating menu so you can always try new things. Sometimes the flavors can be a little lacking, but they are usually a home run! Great space for hanging out while you eat, or easy to swing into while roaming downtown. The staff is always exceptional!
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Rotating menu with fun flavors
Cons: Downtown, so parking can be tough, Flavors fall short every now and then

VEGAN TREATS!! - Edit
Dessert is by far my favorite meal, and this place always has vegan options. Not just one or two donuts, but a wide spread of options!
Read moreTheir flavors rotate monthly, but they always have the delicious Alice in Wonderland, the dark chocolate bar, and the cinnamon sugar. I highly recommend stopping in and encourage your friends and family to have a super fluffy, sweet, vegan donut with you.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly staff, Cute interior
Cons: Unhealthy

Best donuts outside of NYC - Edit
The staff was efficient, helpful and friendly. The apple fritter is vegan every other month(why it’s not just vegan always I don’t know.. non vegans will still buy it) the flavors are creative and the donuts are raised! Not cake!!

Donuts!!! - Edit
I tried the salted chocolate bar, blackberry lime, alice in wonderland (vanilla dipped in sprinkles), and spring breaker (filled with coconut cream topped with a pineapple glaze). The chocolate flavor was by far my favorite. Their vegan donuts are limited to raised donuts which isn't my preference. I wish they had traditional cake donuts rather than always changing up the flavors.

DISHONEST ABOUT DONUTS BEING VEGAN - Edit
Once again I caught Guru Donuts being dishonest in labeling and marketing some of their donuts as vegan.
Read moreA few years back they admitted they were using non-vegan (which is made using bone char to purify the sugar) confectioners sugar in their donuts and I told them of a local source for organic vegan sugar in which they began using. But recently I inquired about their sugar and they admitted that even though they are labeled and marketed as such their donuts weren't actually vegan because they were not using organic vegan confectioners sugar. Even the sprinkles on the donuts labeled vegan are not vegan because they use Carmine, which is made from beetles, as coloring.
Vegan is vegan and using non-vegan ingredients nullifies any food being vegan. If they want to continue using non-vegan ingredients then they should stop labeling and marketing their donuts as vegan.

Good donuts, good coffee - Edit
In addition to delightful donuts (we had the hipster berry and Cinderella) the coffee was good too. The barista didn’t burn the almond milk and the espresso shot was well pulled. Plus the atmosphere is really cool, a nice place to get some work done.

I don’t eat sweets very often but when it was time to get married we had guru donuts for our wedding “cake.” Yeah that’s how good their vegan donuts are.

No complaints! - Edit
There were 4-5 vegan options when I went last week. I tried Sea Salt Chocolate, Alice in Wonderland, and Peanut Buddah Mocha. The Peanut Buddah Mocha was my fav! $2.50-3.00 each for the ones I tried. Coffees available, too. Cozy seating area inside.

Vegan donuts...in Boise! - Edit
This place is no Mighty-O, but vegan donuts in Boise are pretty limited. They generally only have vegan raised donuts. I have never seen a vegan cake donut there. If you are with someone who orders a non-vegan donut, ask for separate baskets or they will just stack them on top of each other. There is often a long line.
Read morePros: Labels items as vegan. , Usually 3-6 vegan options.
Cons: Only raised donuts.

VEGAN DONUTS!!!! - Edit
LOVE this place! Their store is on Capitol Street, but you can also find a display case in the Boise Co-Op (which is open much later). Donuts are frequently buy one, get one free if you get there towards the end of the day, however they sometimes sell out and close early. They usually have 3-5 vegan options each day. Chocolate hazelnut, chocolate sea salt bars, strawberry, maple "bacon," etc. SOO GOOD!
Read morePros: Creamy and delicious, Good price
Cons: They're so good they sometimes run out.
