Babes rarely lets me down! My initial impressions weren’t super positive, but as I kept coming back and trying different flavors I started learning which of their donut styles I liked most. Now I eagerly await their monthly email for the new menu😄 One Warning: If you show up near closing (last hour) it’s not uncommon for them to be out of most if not all donut flavors. So be sure to get in earlier for a full selection😄 Their ice cream was also bomb! The only thing I wasn’t a huge fan of was their paninis. Updated from previous review on 2025-07-10
Even though I am vegan, I have a dairy and Gluten allergy. I was in heaven to find a vegan GF waffle cone filled with creamy delicious ice cream. It looks small because I took a few bites before I remembered to take a photo. Got some baked goodies for home and wow. Picture attached has fritter and cruller from Babes and zucchini bread, banana bread, chocolate chip muffin and chocolate nut cookie from their sister restaurant Siblings. It's a must!

Coffee, Donuts, Icecream, and Panini’s! They got it all at an affordable price!
Great tasting vegan donuts and ice cream. The staff is professional and always courteous. Never a bad experience.

Stay away from this place! The staff are rude and miserable. I actually feel sorry for their souls. I don't understand if you work at a vegan establishment, which is supposed to be an uplifting environment with good vibes, how can one come to work and be so miserable. The cashier was rude to me, so I matched the energy and gave it back to her. If you don't like your job, then QUIT and find a HAPPIER place that suits your needs. To say the least, I returned the donuts and the breakfast and requested a refund. Bless y'all heart!!!!!!

While their donuts are always fun and delicious, my favorite thing here are the paninis! I usually get the Green which has amazing pesto and veggies, but I also like the chorizo one a lot. I haven't gotten it much, but whenever I try their ice cream it is top notch - creamy and flavorful. This place is a must-try!
Thank goodness I was with friends so we could go in on a box of five donuts to take advantage of their weekly special and get a free scoop of ice cream. I was a little disappointed with the birthday cake ice cream though: it didn’t have enough cake and was heavier on sprinkles. The pomegranate orange creamsicle donut was all right. The texture was pretty cake-y and not bad for a vegan and gluten free donut shop. Maybe I should try a different ice cream flavor and one of their a sandwiches next time.
I was so excited to find this place that I ate all my ice cream before I even thought about taking a picture. German chocolate cake ice cream I could actually eat - it doesn’t get better than that. And the nice server added a small amount of tiramisu ice cream on top for me!!
Was skeptical at first, but it was amazing!!! Our go to place for vegan ice cream from now on ?

Gone are the days where gluten-free and vegan items taste like ?... I had a maple cruller and spiced pear sorbet, both very good. Prices fair for what and where it is. Wish the cones weren't as pricey though.
