I am not Vegan and these are so good!!! I picked these up for my boyfriend's family who are vegan. The apple fritter was definitely my favorite, but they are all yummy. The girl working was very patient and friendly when helping me choose which ones to get. She also threw in some extra donut holes! The cinnamon one everyone raves about was sold out when I went around 11am. I'll definitely be back to bring them to the next family gathering. 10/10!!

Oh my god I love this place. Not gonna lie I usually don't like vegan tasting things but their donuts are so fluffy and not too sweet you wouldn't think they're vegan. I personally always get the blueberry donut, some donut holes, and MANDO is the Vietnamese coffee. I feel like Vietnamese coffees usually make my stomach hurt but theirs is so creamy and yummy AND Ha* is such a sweetheart I love her. I don't usually hang around here just because there isn't too much seating but it's nice inside!

Too Good To Go: vibe check! AND IT'S A GO FOR ME!If you haven't heard of TGTG the app, please do yourself a favor and download it. Vegan Donut/Gelato is a part of that community, and I loved that I could pick up a full bag of day-old donuts around their closing time for an extremely discounted price.Through the TGTG app, I got to taste their donut holes, regular sugar donut, blueberry icing donut, and maple old fashioned donut which were all SO DIVINE. Definitely on the sweeter side, but so melt-in-your-mouth decadent. The service was quick, pickup no issues, and street parking ONLY. They're located on a busy street, so I wonder how most people park if they're not from the neighborhood. Sweet service with a smile, and cute, clean interior. Def a local favorite with quick and easy to-go/takeout process.They also serve drinks like Vietnamese coffee and apparently gelato, but I didn't walk farther into the shop to explore since they were closing up. Highly recommend supporting your local and POC-owned small biz. Will def be back and look into the gelato as well.

I love this place! The girl that works here is super helpful and nice, she lets you try the coffee before purchasing! She also gave us some recommendations for sightseeing in SF. The donuts are probably the best vegan donuts I've had in 7 years tbh. The strawberry jelly filled one paired with the Vietnamese coffee is soooo good. The coffee itself has a nice kick to it, and made with soy milk I believe she said. The matcha donut is also delicious and tastes like there's actually matcha in the glaze, not just green for fun. The dough is fluffy and held together well. Half a dozen ~$21 (a little pricier than I'm used to, but they are delicious and more gourmet than the average shop)

We moved here from Chicago, where yeah… the winters were freezing and the hills were nonexistent. But the pastry and coffee game was on point. Here near Lake Merritt, Vegan Donut Gelato has the donuts covered. Their classic yeast raised donuts are delicious and include toppings and flavors like Oreo, you classic birthday sprinkles, Boston cream, and cinnamon crumble. I’m still hoping for crunchberries, but would visit again!

I absolutely love this donut shop. Was on my way to Oakland airport and wanted a donut for breakfast before catching my flight. The selection was generous. I tried the glazed, chocolate bar, old fashion, cinnamon roll and one that is basically an apple pie donut that could feed 4 people. All amazing!!!! There were plenty of seats in the cafe. Will definitely be coming back when I'm in Oakland
Great spot! Only came thru to pick up, didn’t stay too long but the service was quick & friendly. I got the raised blueberry glazed donut, the baked strawberry glazed donut, a plain old-fashion & a dozen of donut holes. A bottle of water too because it was super hot out! Can’t wait to come back & try their gelato! I’m surprised I haven’t been here yet, will definitely be coming back again soon if time permits!

They were out of all Gelato, didn't know when they would have it back in the cases. That kinda sucks for any Gelato place to be out of ice cream on the 4th of July weekend???
