Exciting variety of doughnuts

We got a box of six doughnuts to takeaway: two black sesame and cream, a peanut butter and jelly, an earl grey and almond, a matcha crumble, and a garlic cream cheese. The black sesame one had a fantastic taste and the cream was a good sweet addition. The PBJ was good, but heavier on the jam than peanut butter. The earl grey was perfect, a really subtle flavour and delicious cream. The matcha crumble was a little dry, I would have loved a slightly stickier icing on top, but the flavour was good. The garlic one was a sweet doughnut with a savoury topping, and my partner assures me that it was really well balanced and tasty.

In general, we found the dough pleasant enough but a little dense, hence four stars rather than five. The flavours were fun and unusual (for me, at least), and I appreciate the creativity.

We understood that all the doughnuts are vegan, but not all of the drinks are - I think it's clear on the menu though. Service was friendly. It looked like they took six plain doughnuts and decorated them based on our order, so it wasn't immediate service, but didn't take long at all. We got them in a nice sturdy box and they kept well in the fridge overnight.

Edit: we tried three more doughnuts while we were in Seoul. The raspberry pistachio one had a sweet, sharp raspberry glaze and nice crunchy chunks of pistachio. The tiramisu had quite a sweet glaze and didn't taste strongly of coffee. It seemed like this one would lend itself very well to some cream on top, so it's a shame it was one of the few without cream! The chocolate one was very sticky, sweet, and tasty.

Muy bueno

Pedí un donut y un capuchino y estaba muy bueno. Le pongo 4 estrellas porque tengo dudas de que sea enteramente vegano, debería estar más especificado.

Must stop if you go nearby

Small place serving freshly made vegan donuts.

They prepare your order at the moment with the desired flavours. I had a tiramisu donut and a chocolate donut. Both where súper good and tasty.

They are small so you can have a couple and try more than one flavour at once.

If you pass by just make a stop and you won’t regret it.

Pros: Variety of flavours , Not super heavy donuts

Great flavors

Cute doughnut shop with really good doughnuts and an array of flavors. The black sesame was a standout for me, so was the garlic cream cheese. Also a nice drink menu, including a pumpkin spice latte.

Très bon donuts vegan !

Tous les donuts sont vegan, nous en avons testés 6 différents le long de notre séjour et tous étaient bons.
L’autre avantage : cela ouvre tôt (8h) mais nous vous conseillons de ne pas venir trop tôt car tous les goûts ne seront pas disponibles comme ils commencent à les préparer le matin.

Pros: Le nombre d’options disponibles, L’ouverture tôt le matin

Not the best but interesting flavors

After exploring other donut options in Seoul, these donuts are good if you want to try other than the standard flavor. I just wish they were fluffier and less dense. The matcha crumble is my favorite but today I opted for their special lemon donut. Definitely try them out if you’re taking a visit to Seoul!

Pros: Unique flavors , Good cream , Lots of drink options

Cons: Can be too dense

Vegan donuts

I am not sure if everything here was vegan! But the donuts were when I went and they were incredible! I was so happy to find a place with cute desserts that actually had vegan options. It is a cute but small cafe with communal seating

Insanely good

We tried four flavours - early grey & almond cake; garlic & cream cheese; strawberry shortcake; raspberry & pistachio. All four were unexpected, revelatory, delicious, artful.

Made even better by the lovely chat with the chef herself, who’d spent time studying in England (and shared an obsession for apple crumble!)

A lovely team and cute space too!

Pros: The doughnuts themselves, imaginative flavours, The warm reception from the chef, Lovely space

The donuts where very fresh and tasty. We loved that it was easy to stroll around, using the lid of the coffee cup to hold the pretty donut aswell.

Pros: Exciting flavours, Colourful, Fresh and tasty

Nicest staff and delicious food!

I have a severe shellfish allergy, which is tricky in Seoul, even with baked goods. This vegan donut shop made my day! The staff was super sweet to me and my husband. We had regular, tiramisu, and raspberry/pistachio donuts. We also had the lavender lemonade, hot cocoa, and a latte. EVERYTHING was delicious! 10/10 recommend.

Pros: Friendly and informative staff, Fresh/flavorful donuts and coffee, Cafe atmosphere

Delicious vegan donuts & good coffee

I arrived a little bit before opening and the staff graciously allowed us in early to be out of the harsh cold weather.

We ordered 6 donuts to go and 2 soy lattes. Super delicious and the staff (maybe the owner?) spoke English and gave some recommendations. If I’m ever in Seoul again, I will definitely be back!

Pros: delicious donuts, easy to order, not too expensive

Always amazing

I’ve tried myself through 6 or so flavors and they’re always tasty, not too sweet which is why I don’t usually like donuts. These are perfect and they have savory options too!

Pros: Cozy, Lots of options

Delicious vegan donuts in Seoul

Fantastic birthday breakfast! We get hazelnut donuts, but they have a variety of them and they are all handmade, I liked that they make the dough and glaze the donuts just in front of you.

Pros: Friendly staff!

Super delicious

The shop is tiny and has two tables to sit. Some of the donuts were just made fresh when we got there. Staff spoke perfect English. I had the early grey donut which was delicious. I can definitely recommend it. The most expensive donut is 5000 won which is fair.
They do have cow's milk but will ask you if you want plant milk instead. The matcha latte was not overly sweet like at other places.

Pros: Friendly, English speaking staff, Delicious donuts, Prices

Cons: Not many tables

Flavoured donut! Near to Myeong-Dong/Namdaemum

Tried 5different vegan donuts in two days and tried their vanilla latte and pumpkin spice(non coffee)
My fav donuts are the peanut butter flavor and the seasonal chestnut flavor!( am not a big fan of chestnut but this one is covered with melty chocolate! Amazingly surprised me

Location is not far away from namdaemum, or Myeongdong( for 10mins walking after MYR)

Updated from previous review on 2023-10-31

Pros: Flavour , Vegan Staff!!, Quantity( not too big)

Cons: The coffees are served with normal milk options , Only have soy milk option for vegan coffee

Psl tasted like pickle juice

I’ve been here twice first time I got matcha and earl grey tbh earl grey just tasted sweet and I was really disappointed that it didn’t have the deep herbal, tea, flavour I was expecting. The matcha was also not show stopping but it was enjoyable. I agree with people who claim it’s a bit more of a cake than a donut but that’s not a bad thing imo, just something worth noting. My sister and mum came to seoul to visit me! And we were in the area and my sister is also vegan so I decided to bring them here and my mum got just plain and my sister got hazelnut (my mum and sister said the hazelnut was absolutely worth trying) I don’t like too sweet so I chose matcha again which had more cookie crumbles pieces on top this time so it was definitely more enjoyable but if I go back I’ll have to try hazelnut;) my sister and I decided to try the pumpkin spice latte (with soy milk) and although we finished it (cause it was $6..from memory) we both agreed it tasted like pickles!! Very weird..

Pros: All vegan donuta

Cons: Also serve regular milk so be sure to ask for soy

I dont recall that my PSL ever tasted as weird as that... If something tastes weird, how about telling staff about as soon as it happens? Maybe one of their ingredients had spoiled! They should check and give you a refund if they gave you a spoiled item!
