Adorable bakery that shares a space with the Old Abe restaurant. We tried all the vegan donut flavors (the blueberry and cinnamon sugar were our favorites, but the flavors rotate). All the vegan donuts were cake donuts; I was kind of hoping to try a raised donut but unsure whether that’s just not the focus or if it just wasn’t in the rotation on the day we went. Also ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee which was tasty, and a matcha lemonade which was a bit too bitter and sour for my taste but might just be personal preference. Very colorful & eclectic, plenty of outdoor seating in the back but it was cramped inside when we went on a Saturday morning. Even though it was busy we got our order pretty quickly. There’s not a parking lot but we were able to find parking on the street with relative ease. We will definitely be back to try some more donut flavors!

I messaged them super late at night, they accommodated my order anyways! DELICIOUS donuts, and kind service. 10/10 I wish I lived in the area so I could eat here more often, my wife loves the gluten free donuts.

Super cute cafe with unique donuts, drinks, and cozy atmosphere. Upstairs lounging area with lots of seating. Lots of cute Knick-knacks all around and artwork.

There were 4 flavors of donuts left when we got there, but it was later in the day. Friendly staff and doughnuts were all fresh and moist with good flavor. Menu appears to have several vegan options including vegan cream cheese for bagels. Would visit again to try other things.
We only stopped by real quick to grab a couple donuts and go to our next destination, but picked up a Yuzu Lingonberry donut and a Peach Cobbler. We were fighting over that Lingonberry one though haha , it was delicious! Peach was still very good though. Wish I lived closer to try out different ones all the time!
Most things tasted great. The bagel was one of the tastiest, softest bagels I've ever had. The smoothies were a bit too veggie non sweet but that was the only imperfection. Great style and music.

I ordered one of every vegan donut (to go) and thoroughly enjoyed each flavor, although Maple was my favorite. They are everything you want and expect a donut to be, and vegan to boot! Here are the vegan flavors available when I visited: Fat Elvis (banana peanut butter) The Springfield Lemon Poppy Seed Maple, Blueberry Crumble Sinnamon Sugar Tiramisu The same venue also houses Old Abe & Co., home of the award-winning vegan Bahn Mi sandwich.
What a fun place! I hope they start making vegan *raised* donuts as well.
Vegetarian options: Vegan donuts FTW!

There were several great flavors to choose from when my husband and I visited, and it seems like one of the flavors is always twinned from the vegan cake donuts to a non-vegan raised donut. When we went, it was the tiramisu donut, which is what my husband got. I got the ube (purple) donut, and as someone originally from Hawaii, it's really awesome to see that ube flavor is making it's way out to the Midwest now! The flavor is not that strong in the donut, so if you haven't had anything ube flavored before, this seems like an ideal mild introduction. Vegan donut had a tender crumb without being dry, and we washed our donuts down with a cold brew with oat milk--perfection! The location itself has ramps to be accessible and appears to have an outdoor seating area in the back, although we noticed there are pickleball courts next door now, so keep that in mind if the sounds of pickleball annoy you (but you can't hear it indoors). Cashier was very friendly and informative, and we will definitely be back next time we're in town!
Best donuts in town! Fun, creative flavors in a funky atmosphere. Well worth a visit!p
