VEGAN BANH MI !!!!!
I know this shop is famous for its donuts, but I was excited to hear that they've added banh mi. I had the char siu version and it was amazing! The crunch and give of the bread roll, then the crunch (carrot and cucumber, jalapeño) and smoothness (paté, mayo, char siu) of the filling offers the classic banh mi experience. The umami bomb of the mushroom paté really raises the level. Most vegan banh mi just omits the paté. And it's a generous size. Come hungry.
Absolutely delicious! And the young man running the counter was very nice too.

Great vegan donuts with the feel of a classic donut shop. I got the glazed donut and a matcha with oat milk. Both were satisfying.

ALL the stars! This place is awesome and I am so excited that they are opening a location in SF.

The donuts are good but it’s very expensive. $3.75 for 6 donut holes is ridiculously pricy. I bought 3 regular donuts and it came out to $12

Super nice family run “hole in the wall” with great vegan fare. I’ve been in search of the perfect banh mi in Oakland and this checked all the boxes. Keeping in mind they are vegan, the Vietnamese fake deli meats are delicious as usual. The mushroom pate adds umami, and the bread is fresh— crunchy crust and soft inside. Perfect! I sipped on a Vietnamese coffee while I waited, no need to worry about lactose intolerance kicking in. So tasty! I’ll have to try their donuts at some point.

Been here several times over the course of 10 years. Always friendly and reasonably priced. As with any bakery or donuts shop I recommend going as early as possible for the freshest product.

I love this spot so much. Their donuts are always baked fresh and are delicious! They have so much variety and are priced reasonably imo. Staff are friendly too. Highly recommend for both vegans and non-vegans. These are some of the best donuts I’ve ever tasted!

This place is very dangerous and it should come with a full disclosure warning. It is vegan crack for me, I love every donut that they sell but my favorite are the classic - old fashion and glazed.
The donuts are just so perfect in every way - size, texture & of course flavor.

Best doughnuts on the planet. Full stop. Thank you for existing. 🫶🏻 You make the world a better place.
These are massive low quality donuts. I bought a half dozen, ate one, and tossed the rest. I've literally never thrown away a donut before in my life. I did not try the gelato.

Looking for that nostalgic donut taste without compromising quality? Come here.
They have a set lineup of donut staples such as old fashions, apple fritters, glazed donuts, glazed bars, and donut holes. The other part of the menu are experimental donuts such tajin mango donuts, oreo donuts, etc.

Vegan donuts galore in Oakland! Super friendly service and felt amazing to be able to choose absolutely anything. Donuts looked and tasted delicious and smoothie was great too. Can also recommend the apple fritters.

My husband and I are from Louisiana and are not vegans, but we heard about this shop on a previous visit to Oakland and made it a point to go on our most recent visit. I am not a doughnut fan, but I absolutely loved these vegan doughnuts, which were much better than any other doughnuts I have had. We ate the apple fritter in the store and left with some of the chocolate & peanut ones, along with matcha and mango. We also bought one with sprinkles for our grandchild. Everyone loved them. They were all fresh and beautifully risen with no greasiness at all. I especially liked the matcha one, but the apple fritter was outstanding. The shop is clean and the service was very friendly. I highly recommend this shop if you like doughnuts.

My wife and I stopped at Vegan Donut Gelato on our honeymoon and LOVED it! The donuts are fantastic and made fresh daily, so you're always getting the best of what's available. We got four items and could barely keep ourselves from getting more!! Friendly service too from what looked like the owner. Can't recommend them enough!
Vegetarian options: 100% vegan menu
