Awesome - Edit
The donuts here are so moist and yummy. As others have already mentioned the top 2 rows of donuts in their display case are typically vegan. They also have a vegan cream filling that you just have to ask for. They will take the donut in the back and fill it right then. They are cash only and sometimes they close earlier than the hours they have listed so beware of that.

First donut shop donut in 24 years, wow! - Edit
I used to love donuts but gave them up when I went vegan. This was my first stop in Vegas. It was an hour before closing so they had 2 rows with about 6 kinds of donuts. The custard filled was the best. All were exceptional. I ate 4 or so. It was funny, the 2 customers after me asked which were vegan so I guess many vegans find out about this place, which is wonderful. I'm going back again before the end of my visit. My partner who is vegetarian, so has had donuts recently, also thought they were particularly good.

Regular stop on our trips to vegas - Edit
As long time vegans we like to treat ourselves a bit when we travel. This is the spot for vegan treats. Donuts are very tasty, not too salty, and all very fresh tasting. One of my favorite places in Vegas for some vegan comfort food. Owner is there and available for questions and everyone is nice and helpful.

Heavenly Do-eat them all-nuts! - Edit
This place is ALL that and a box of donuts! Seriously, for a sweet-tooth-fiend like myself, this is truly a vegan dream come true. Melt in your mouth deliciousness. I ordered a dozen and 3 days later the 2 of remaining stragglers were still fresh (I left them out/room temperature. Refrigerating may make them hard). I went on a Sunday morning and not only were the first 2 rows all vegan, but some of the 3rd was as well. So many options and flavors... I'd happily drive 4 hours just to get a couple of dozen to bring back home.

If there was a heaven for vegans, this would be it. These donuts are incredible and would fool any non-vegan. Soy cream filled, glazed, sugar... so delicious! They are also very inexpensive.

YUM! - Edit
One of the things I looked forward to the most while anxiously awaiting my Vegas trip was having a donut from Ronald's. It had been such a long time since my husband and I had eaten one and it was something we greatly enjoyed pre-veg. Well...Ronald's lived up to our expectations. We visited them twice during our short stay and even packed some in our suitcase to take home! There's plenty of choices, the prices are low, the people are great, and the donuts will not fail to please. I will be sure to stop again the next time I'm in Vegas. Go. You won't be sorry.

Best donuts EVER - Edit
I kid you not, these are the best donuts I've ever had in my life.
Read moreA few years back, a friend and I had heard rumors of this place and stopped in on a trip through the southwest - even though it was a bit out of the way.
We asked which donuts were vegan, and the owner leaned over very conspiratorially to whisper "all of them" and then lean back, with a huge smile. We bought an unnecessary amount of donuts and devoured them over the course of the day.
This place is worth adjusting a trip, even for an extra 200 miles.
Pros: Vegan donuts, AMAZING donuts
Cons: Far away from me

The best! - Edit
I was so exicted to try this place the last time I went to Vegas, that I literally took a cab straight from the airport before going to the hotel. We bought 3 dozen donuts and ate them all in 2 days! They were even sweet enough to give us a few free ones for buying so much while we waited for another cab. Why can't they be in Canada?

Better if eaten sparingly - Edit
I had read about this place on happycow, and here's my Ronald's Donuts review
Read moreMy sister brought over a huge box of them Ronald's Donuts, and I really felt an overdose of sugar. These donuts tasted just like regular donuts, and not like the fancy ones from gourmet and specialty all-vegan bakeries. Not sure if the sugar used is vegan or not.
The vegan donuts tasted good on the same day of purchase, but after an overnight refrigeration, they tasted kinda hard and leaves a sugary and kinda bad after taste... Well, at least vegans can have their donuts!
Pros: some vegan
Cons: very sugary

NOMNOMNOM - Edit
As someone who is allergic to dairy, I have never had a fresh donut. I've ordered them online or what have you, but never an honest straight out of the oven ooey-gooey goodness donut. On my birthday trip, I had to have one. This were amazing. We ended up taking a box back to the hotel to let the vallet guys try some. I loved them, my boyfriend loved them, and the vallet guys loved them. These were simply amazing.

I used to come here all the time and bring back dozens for my coworkers. I have convinced everyone I know that these are the best. I just hope that someday they come out with gluten free/sugar free donuts.

OMG! Delicious! - Edit
If you're vegan, in Vegas, and love donuts you HAVE to go! It was our very first stop after arriving on a red-eye and picking up the rental car. It had been over 10 years since I had a fresh vegan donut and it was incredible. As mentioned in previous reviews, the top two rows in the display case are vegan. They have all the common donuts you can think of (glazed, chocolate, filled, twist, bear claw, etc). I sampled most and have to say they're consistently good. Not sure if this is on the menu, but they sold me a cup of soymilk to wash down the donuts. In one word, Yum!

Ronalds Rocks! - Edit
Vegans, when you are in Las Vegas you MUST go to Ronalds. I hadn't had a doughnut in almost 5 years and you would have thought I was a Vegas showgirl the way I kicked my legs up after my first bite! The top 2 rows are vegan. Creme-filled and tigers tail are my faves.

Ronald's Donuts - Edit
For vegans it's a dream come true, where you can find vegan donuts. I believe only the top two rows are vegan, but double check with staff. It was tasty after not having one in over fifteen years or so. Been back there twice while driving through LAS.

Reason enough to visit Las Vegas - Edit
It had been years since I had a donut, they really were my weakness before switching to veganism. When I was searching for vegan options in the area, I was soo excited to see this cute little donut shop listed in Chinatown. Very friendly staff, my only regret is that I should have gotten more donuts! The soy custard filling is to die for and the apple rollups were fantastic. My non-veg inlaws inhaled their donut holes and bought more donuts for the next day. Day old donuts from Ronald's still taste amazing! Can't wait for my next trip to Vegas, I plan to hit up Ronald's more than a few times. :)

Woe is me! - Edit
Why oh why can't I live in Las Vegas?
Read moreAnd why did I ever eat at Ronald's Donuts?
Now all I do is daydream and obsess about donuts. My life has been miserable ever since we left Las Vegas, never to eat at Ronald's again (or at least not until we return on vacation, but whatever).
Okay, this place is seriously amazing. Sure, the building is kinda a dump compared to the glitzy strip, but who cares?! The donuts are delicious and everything I've been missing since going vegan. They're all good (and trust me, I tried them all during my stay), with the chocolate glazed and the jelly-filled being my absolute favorites.
Also, the guy who works there is adorable and super nice.
Pros: awesome donuts, friendly service, quaint
Cons: WHY CAN'T I RATE THIS 5 STARS

Really a must! Wow real vegan donuts! - Edit
After reading all the reviews in happycow, this is a must do for vegans. I don't know how many years that I skipped on donuts. So the first bite of achocolate glazed donut with soy custard made me forget about the warnings of not eating donut (that it is unhealthy, etc. etc.) Just eat it! Cause there will be no other chance! Yummy! The donuts are soft, melt in your mouth, and not really too sweet. I ordered the apple fritter and thought that it was too sweet. But there are more choices, maple glaze, regular glazed, jelly filled, cinnamon glaze, etc. etc. Just ask them which ones are vegan. There are PLENTY!
Read morePros: cheap , soft and melt in your mouth, not too sweet

A MUST DO - Edit
This place is a MUST for any vegan who lives in or who visits Las Vegas!
Read moreVegas Veg meets at Ronald's on the 2nd Sunday of every month at 10AM.
I consider Ronald's to be vegan-friendly. There are lots of questions about whether or not the donuts are really vegan and there are always rumors within the vegan community that Ronald's doesn't really have vegan donuts. I have asked them on numerous occasions and in many circumstances whether or not their donuts are vegan (and what kind of sugar they use or what kind of cream filling they use) and they always tell me it's vegan and offer brand names if I want to check. Veg News even sent out some donuts for testing in a lab a few years ago and found NO animal ingredients. Bottom line: I TRUST THEM.
But here's what you should know:
- Some donuts are NOT vegan. Ask which ones are and they'll tell you.
- They only take cash.
Pros: cheap, tasty, friendly
Cons: no outdoor space, vegan donuts are not marked \, tables are stationary

Good to know! Thanks for this review. It's really helpful. I will go there soon and will try them. Buddhists won't lie. I had a vegan dishes made in a Buddhist restaurant (cooked by Buddhist monks) in San Francisco years ago and those were the best chinese vegan dishes I had ever had. Unfortunately, the restaurant closed now. Bummer! Let's support vegan restaurants so they don't go down the hill!

Donut heaven - Edit
We go to Ronald's every time we are in Vegas. We can't resist. It's total gluttony and each time we say that the next time we will only get a half dozen, but that never works. As soon as you see the shelves of vegan donuts, the dozen box comes out! The first donut is the best, before the sugar overdose sets in! lol Definitely gotta go!

Sugar in their donuts IS Vegan - Edit
My husband and I just got back from Vegas and a fantastic visit to Ronald's. We asked about the sugar and the owner told me that they found a vegan brand which they are now using called Spreankle or something like that. We brought a box home and have a bit each day. I have NEVER had a donut this good, even when I wasn't vegan. It's a great shop with great owners, go there, support the place and keep vegan awareness alive.
