Holy Cow.....

Its like every Dunkin Donut's Donut you can imagine from yesteryear but vegan. I was bummed out by the crappy Donut selection at Portland's Vodoo Donuts so I didn't have high hopes. I was really blown away by Ronalds. They have EvERTYTHING! Donut holes, Bear Claws, Long John, on and on and on... The owners work 360 days a year from 4am to 4pm. We went twice, lol. The first dozen was gone quick. The second dozen was not a good idea! then we got 2 dozen more to bring home (they keep in the fridge for a few days) for a potluck we were going to. I highly do not advise that you eat more than 4 in any given weekend. To make them vegan they let the yeast rise a little longer and use soy instead of milk products resulting in a donut that doesn't absorb as much oil. They taste just like the real thing! I'm glad Ronalds is far far away from me because I'd eat myself dead quickly. Ronalds is legendary and every vegan glutton should make their way to this mecca.

Pros: too many to list

Cons: i'm addicted instantly

None the wiser :)

I was in charge of getting donuts for a morning meeting for around 100 people. Ordered massive dozens of creme-filled, chocolate covered and lemon filled VEGAN donutgs and VEGAN apple fritters and didn't say a word to anyone. The 15 dozen donuts were gone in about 30 minutes. Lots of happy smiles and lots of MMMMs and AHHing all around but mostly on my face! Finally, I could eat something at a meeting :)

Pros: VEGAN, FRIENDLY, CHEAP

Cons: short hours, probably bad for you like regular donuts, can't eat just one!

Yummy

I live in Flagstaff, AZ and have had many of my vegan friends here tell me about these donuts. I went to Vegas in 2005 - I was vegetarian then, not vegan, and I had no idea that happycow existed. I was traveling with my very non-veg friend and her parents and we stayed on the strip the entire time. I don't really like Vegas so I knew I'd only get these donuts if someone brought them down for me, and lo and behold a few weeks ago at a vegan potluck for some traveling musicians there was a box of vegan donuts from Ronlads that the musicians had brought with them from Vegas. Vegan delicious - I was so happy. The only thing that worries me is that they taste so much like donuts that they probably hydrogentated oil in them. Does anyone know what kind of oil they use?

Pros: yummy, vegan

Cons: i want to try more flavors and I can't, possibly hydrogentated?/not natural

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Excellent, excellent donuts. Better than many non-vegan donuts I've had. We always buy way way too many. The custard one is one of my favorites, and my husband likes the apple fritters. We both love the twists, and the donut holes! Actually, I'm happy with just a million donut holes. They're cheap as hell. The lady who works there is very nice, and their soy milk is some of the best I've had.

it's pretty far, but if you're vegan, it's definitely worth the drive. When with vegan friends, this stop is always a MUST. We each get an entire box of donuts and a bag of donut holes, haha.

I would rate this a 5, but it won't let me.

Pros: Good price, Great donuts!, Nice help

Cons: Far from strip

Delicious Donuts

This is such a great place to go for not only great tasting donuts, but vegan donuts! The staff is so friendly and they really care about making vegans happy, which rated high in my book. The shop has about four varieties of vegan donuts, that are so good. The soy cream ones have a light and airy flavor that tastes of sweet vanilla, and then there are basic flavored donuts like chocolate and vanilla that taste great. They also have nonvegan donuts, but those are clearly marked and kept on the bottom shelves along with the other pastries. The staff is great, and serves up sweet donut holes along with wonderful service.

Pros: Vegan donuts, Great Service

Yummy in my Tummy

I had my husband do the donut run. Based on what he said... it was near the Orleans Hotel where we stayed... and was kinda hard to find... It was like going to an asian store b/c it was around asian plazas. The Donuts are SOOO GOOD!!! Yummy... he said there were only 4 variety of vegan donuts the rest were pastries. they close at 4... so make your run before they close.

Cons: hours

vegas for the donuts not the gambling!

OMG! this place is for real. sooo gooood. do not be in vegas and not eat these vegan donuts! they have all the donuts you could imagine, but they are vegan, they will bring back fond memories... and i almost feel sorry if you live in vegas and you are vegan cause i dont see how you dont gain 10lbs a week by having this place near by. the only bad thing about this place was that i bought so many donuts and was just passing through driving through the dessert without a/c in my car and everything melted and went bad, but i couldnt stop eating and i got sick.

Wow, this would be a 10 Cow Rating if possible

I'm usually the critic and don't give good ratings if not deserved, yet Ronald's Donuts are by far some of the best donuts in the entire world. These donuts are so good that they won the Las Vegas award for best donuts. That is impressive for any donut, yet for a Vegan donut, it is simply AMAZING.
Yet tasting is believing. I haven't had a donut like this since giving up eggs 17 years ago. The donut holes and Lemon Creme Filled glazed donuts were my favorite.

After looking at all the reviews, everyone RAVED about their donuts, yet gave them 4 Cows. I'm not sure where the disconnect is.

The owners are devout Buddhist's and probably do not understand the Bone Char Sugar issue. It would be good if one of the locals her would print off some information about this and give it to the owners. At the same time, please do some research and let them know the alternatives. Please note, they probably get their sugar from Sysco or GFC. Please see if these companies carry a vegan sugar.

I would do it, but am leaving town tomorrow.

Ahh, the system is currently messing up and 4 cows is the maximum rating. I'm sure the owners of happy cow will fix this soon.

Pros: Taste, Taste, Taste

Cons: May not be vegetarian

Happy Cow won't allow a 5 Cow rating for places that aren't entirely vegan (I think that's a mistake because most people don't know that in advance). The cake donuts at Ronald's are NOT vegan so beware. They will happily tell you which donuts are vegan so don't be shy about asking. All the best donuts are vegan so it's all good.

Vegan Donuts Taste Great!!!

These donuts tasted like non-Vegan donuts! My friend had to try these when we were in Vegas. The one thing I want to say is that I wish I could eat more than one donut at a time [explanation: I have a problem eating sweets in large quantities]!!! The owner was incredibly nice and although the place seemed older, it felt very welcoming and/or comfortable. We even met some "regulars" who were sitting in the dining area - they were the nicest people ever! If you're in Vegas, it's seriously a few miles off of the strip and is well worth the little drive!

Pros: Good Donuts!!!, Nice Owner/Employees, Welcoming Atmosphere

Cons: Yeah, it's a pain to leave The Strip.

vegan creme filled donuts !?!?!

try the apple roll and the soycreme. I almost cried when i found out i could have a really tasty cream-filled donut again! I am sure these things are totally bad for you, but would it still be called a donut if it were good for you? I think not.

Pros: DONUTS!!!!, friendly staff

Cons: off-strip

Donuts!

Many of the donuts are vegan and amazing! They taste like regular non-vegan donuts. I don't think the ingredients are natural at all, but they're really good.

Oh. My. God!

WOW!! Like the review by "Vegan Pig" before me, I wanted to get locked in there overnight too! At first I was slightly disappointed until I realized I had misunderstood when I asked which selections were vegan, and thought that the 4 trays they pointed out were my only choices......imagine my delight when I was corrected and told that those 4 trays were the ones that WEREN'T vegan! All the rest were there for me!! Trays and trays of donuts, Vegan donuts!! Ohhhhh, I was in heaven!! It was so great! All the ones I ate were delicious! Even my non-vegan friends loved them, said they couldn't tell the difference! And of course I had to bring some back for my vegan friends too. Boy was that hard to do. (To not eat them myself!!) The owners were so nice! I thanked them over and over again, both days I went, and rolled myself out of there! Gotta do this place folks! Vegan or non-vegan, delicious donuts, wonderful feeling, and lots of business too, which is great!!

Pros: VEGAN!, Outstanding assortment, Yummy!

Cons: None that I saw!

Great donuts and great selection (all but two trays were vegan). Make sure you bring cash and a empty stomach! My favourites where any of the ones with apple/cinnamon filling.I hope to go there again when I am in the area again!
