Pretty good - Edit
Not really vegan as advertised because of the sugar. I emailed them twice before going and asked if it was bone char-free, but they didn’t respond. We asked upon arrival, but they couldn’t “guarantee” the sugar source. Anyway, on to the donuts…pretty good, but I don’t get what all the hype is about. Dense without being oily, and sweet but not sickly so. The vegan ones were just the plain old fashioned donut with 3 different and tasty toppings. Fortunately, we passed a beggar nearby who took our remains.

Vegan potato donuts - Edit
Quite a few options in flavors. Donuts were yummy and fresh but we did have some that seemed to have sat in the oil for a bit too long.

Many vegan options - Edit
A lot of vegan donut options here. They are perfectly cooked, not too wet inside like many other vegan donuts. Perfect amount of frosting on the donuts and very flavorful. Pomegranate frosted is my favorite donut that I’ve had so far!

Today there were 7 amazing vegan options and I picked 4 of them! The line made some inquires turn and walk away, but the staff was attentive and moved the lined quickly…and it was completely worth the wait.

Be sure to visit - Edit
This place is a real destination in Portland, and they’ve earned it. Don’t go in expecting Dunkin’ Donuts - the signature product here is a moist cake donut made with Maine potatoes.
Read moreI really appreciate that they don’t have a “vegan tax” where our items cost more than the “regular” stuff.
Pros: Good vegan options, No “vegan tax”, Walkable area
Cons: Can be crowded

Wow! - Edit
Honestly I was skeptical of the potato factor, and my original first bites weren’t impressive, but as I kept eating the donuts got better and better! They had about 4-5 vegan options which is a lot for most stores. When I come back to Portland I’m coming back to Holy Donut!

Great vegan options - Edit
This shop had a variety of vegan options (maybe 6-8 choices). I got the pomegranate and toasted coconut and my husband got original and fresh lemon. They were delicious! Very similar to cake-style donuts in texture

Good vegan donuts - Edit
Purchased half a dozen vegan donuts on the way out of town for a road trip last week and was pleasantly surprised that they were still quite fresh and yummy two days later. This business has been around a while and I do find the limited vegan options get a little boring if you buy them too often; it would be nice if they came up with some new flavors, like who wouldn’t like some vegan chocolate or jelly donuts?!

New location on Commercial Street - Edit
Be prepared to wait in a line. They’re delicious and I appreciate the handful of vegan options. I will say they’re a bit dry, but they’re donuts and they’re vegan - I loved them.

First timer- AWESOME DOUGHNUTS!!! - Edit
Just popped in for a couple doughnuts... this time around. I got a coconut one and a lemon one. Coconut is my go-to flavor and lemon is a flavor I’m continuing to acquire a taste for and both of these doughnuts were so good. I will most certainly be back for all of the flavors on the rack, and some coffee.

Vegan Donut Heaven - Edit
Walked in and saw a huge vegan sign with a whole row of vegan donuts! I think if you’re vegan you know that we usually don’t get a lot of options to pick from, so it was tough picking just a few! They were delicious! Highly recommend :)

Road Trip Donut Stop! - Edit
I think I'd give them 5 stars if we went earlier in the day, but we grabbed these 15-20 minutes before they were closing while we were passing through Maine. I never had a potato donut before, and I wasn't disappointed! They're pleasantly dense and they have tasty flavors. Some were too sweet for me, but I'd LOVE to try a chocolate one some day. I'd return here.
Read morePros: Unique, Filling, Great Location
Cons: Very Sweet, Limited Options (for time of arrival), Pricier (than the average donut)

Vegan Donuts! Need I say more?! - Edit
The Holy Donut is off the charts good! It took a few days for us to get them, because every time we stopped in, they were busy as hell with the line out the door. This was over the weekend so I’m sure that contributed to their busyness, plus it’s a small shop so it doesn’t take long to fill up the waiting area.
Read moreWe popped back in on a weekday and didn’t encounter a line. They had about six vegan options for that day and we picked the chai, cinnamon sugar, pomegranate and berry donuts. The chai was my fav and my husband loved the cinnamon sugar. They’re a little pricey but totally worth it! They’re very filling too.
I overheard multiple people ranting and raving about their donuts while we sat at a small, window bar with stools and tried our selections. The donuts are worth the wait! My hubby also really enjoyed their coffee, which is a self-serve, little station to the left of the shop.
Pros: A variety of vegan options , Delicious , Helpful, nice staff
Cons: Can be very busy , Expensive but worth it

THEY COOK THE VEGAN DONUTS IN THE SAME OIL AS NON VEGAN - Edit
I am really disappointed in Holy Donut for the cross contamination.

Unique & Delicious - Edit
Stopped in and had two donuts, triple berry and cinnamon sugar. Both exceeded expectations. The place is one of a kind and had about 6 Vegan Donut Options foe choose from. The only downfall I would say is the its a little on the expensive side for donuts.

Delicious, filling donuts - Edit
These vegan options are worth the wait in line. I personally love the triple berry and the chai. The donuts are super dense and filling and perfect paired with a cup of coffee. Always asking for more vegan options and hoping that more will come as demand increases.
