The donuts were delicious. The donuts have NO seed oils, they are Fried in palm oil and the glazes use olive oil. The guy at the register was very helpful and Friendly. The atmosphere is in construction. They will be having a stage With an eatery for things like burritos and such in a couple of months. I'm very excited that they've moved to this location as it is easier for me to get to. Sometimes i just have to have a doughnut. Today I got a lavender English breakfast donut that is partly eaten in the photo, a maple donut and a lemon poppyseed donut
I was excited to try out Donut Farm after hearing about it being the best place to get vegan donuts! Came by around noon on a weekend. Donut Farm is located in a small shopping strip. Parking is limited but I was able to snag a spot despite it being the weekend. Service was pretty fast. Took a little bit to decide, but once I knew which ones I wanted to try, the guy was fast at boxing and checking out. The donuts range in pricing from $3 and up. Their fancier donuts are $4.50 a pop. There was a sign noting that all donuts are made vegan, organic, and nut free. I tried the plain glazed ($3), meyer lemon ($3.50), and matcha ($3.50) donuts. My favorite was the meyer lemon which had a nice bright citrus flavor. The plain glazed were good as well. Would not recommend the matcha one though - it didn't taste like matcha green tea at all unfortunately. The donuts were pretty good, especially as vegan baked goods. I wouldn't go out of my way just to grab donuts here, but it was a nice treat.
FINALLY we came in for Sunday brunch as. group! We had different items from the brunch menu plus the donuts and coffee. What a great way to spend the last Sunday of 2025! I forgot to take photos of our brunch items but they were awesome! Japanese curry tofu wrap (or you can get it in a bowl)! Breakfast burger and burrito, chicken and waffle or just waffle. Always vegan. The donuts are organic and made with olive oil. We will be back!
First time at the actual location - only tried about 247 times at other cafes who supply them. Of course the biggest advantage is that they have much more assorted variety, especially if you're like me and like to try non-conventional flavors. They also sell coffee for those wanting to complement their baked goods with something to help wash it down!
If you need a chikkn & waffle fix this is the spot. So good had me questioning if it was plant based
I'm giving 2 stars because of the brunch food. Just an FYI I'm a vegetarian and I'm in the process of cutting out all animal products, therefore, I'm trying out vegan spots and cook a lot of vegan food. I also ended up taking my sister so she could see what vegan food is about. 1. My sister had the breakfast burrito. The breakfast burrito was an absolute texture nightmare, the coconut rice was gross and mushy, the tofu was completely bland, the random spicy curry sauce was unblended & completely overpowered everything. Just really one of the worst burritos I've had in my life. She couldn't get past two bites before throwing it out. I also bit it, and I agree with everything my sister said. 2. I got the tempeh reuben sandwich and it was equally bad with bland soggy fries. It was edible and I finished half of the sandwich with a ton of hot sauce but I threw out the other half. I legitimately could not finish it. I think king oyster mushrooms would be a better substitute for the "bacon". 3. The donuts are AMAZING & deserve to stand alone. The lemon one was absolutely incredible. If I would've only purchased the donuts I would've given Donut farm 5 stars. There's a price range from $3.00, $3.50, $4.00, and $4.50. I think they're reasonable prices for how good they were. The only one that was okay was the chocolate coconut. In conclusion, the food needs a lot of work. I know this is a small business, but please taste the food that comes out . The sandwich was $18 and the burrito was $16. I never complain about the prices from small business owners because I love to support but it was expensive for the quality of food I received. The service was also okay, it felt like everyone was stressed lol, I'm not complaining bc I know we all have our days but this was my first time at Donut Farm and I wish my experience would've been more pleasant so I'd be willing to give it another chance.
You must be lying to me. This was one of the best vegan donuts I've ever had didn't know it was vegan until well after it was finished. The staff was friendly and great to talk to. She helped me make a very difficult decision get a coffee, donut or a maple donut. Just so everyone knows the answer moving forward should be both. I ended up getting a coffee donut and absolutely loved it. It taste delicious. And then I got to take a small bite of maybe a dozen other donuts. Places, fun and worth going in and checking out not too loud so you can definitely sit down and enjoy your donut afterwards if you would like .
After years of no brunch, they're serving brunch again! My partner and I split the English muffin breakfast sandwich and the steak and egg tacos, which were excellent, as well as a donut which was good as always! Friendly and fast service, a spacious interior, clean bathroom. We'll be back! And i would love it if you bring back the crunch wrap, I still dream about it! Weekday breakfast would also be amazing!

We stopped by here to see the selection right the shop opened at 7:30am for a dozen donuts. Unfortunately they didn't have a few of the morning popular options available, but the donuts were honestly incredible. I learned about these from going to Philz and finding myself always craving the blueberry donut, so I obviously had to go search for the true source of the donuts and was extremely happy to find out they're located in East Bay! The donuts are also vegan and incredibly tasty. This location serves breakfast but it actually doesn't start until 9am. read more

My favorite vegan donut place has now become my favorite vegan brunch spot. Easily the best "chicken" I've had and the waffles were great too. I even liked the gravy too which a lot of times I do not like veggie gravy. Top that off with my favorite blueberry donut and I'm a happy woman. read more
TL/DR: great donuts, also serves other foods, go earlier for the full donut selection I didn't realize how addicting these donuts were until I started craving them. Even their plain donut with no frosting was delicious. The donuts here are dense, crispy, and sweet. It resembles more of a cake donut or traditional donut than the yeast or raised donuts. They have limited quantities of each donut, so make sure you go early or it will sell out! Love: 1. These donuts are one of a kind. All the other donut shops I go to in the Bay Area sell raised donuts, which I also love, but Pepples Donuts stand out because of the crisp. 2. Of the ones I've tried, I really liked the Blueberry, Plain, and Lavender Earl Grey. Like: 1. Every now and then, the donut frosting would change. The combos are very interesting, and it's something new to look forward to every time you go. 2. They serve breakfast/brunch foods. I have yet to try them, but if I do I am getting a donut with my meal. Meh: 1. This place is a little out of the way. It's not close to any other restaurants, shopping areas, hangout spots, etc. It's literally one shop surrounded by houses. 2. The store is kinda run down. The giant pink donut outside is breaking apart, and the inside is very small. Donuts: 5/5 Location: 3/5 -Not a lot of space for large parties to hang out at, but you can hang outside where there are some benches. -Only street parking available, but all free. If I lived closer to Pepples I would probably become a regular here. I highly recommend their donuts, and even if they look small, it's a dense donut so one is more than enough. read more

I think my stomach went to heaven with this one. ALL these donuts are vegan!!! And there are so many really unique and creative flavors it was hard to choose! I got a half dozen and ate them all within 30 minutes they were that amazing. I think the only possible downside would be that they can quickly get really pricey but in my opinion every once in a while that is worth it for outstanding food! Will definitely be back to try more flavors but my favorite was the matcha for sure! read more

Was brought here for my birthday from the girlfriend. Recently converted Vegan, we love our vegan joints to chow down to. We came here on a Saturday morning and this place was booming. We were seated right away and our server along with the rest of the staff were absolutely amazing. After finally settling on the country fried chick'n, with gravy, collard greens, and hash browns (the misses got the biscuit). Along with the appetizer of some awesomely crisp tater tots. This meal was absolutely amazing. I didn't leave one bite left over and cleaned that plate absolutely clean! Every piece to that meal was delicious from the greens to the hash to the chik'n. I had tried the misses biscuit she had ordered and it wasn't dry and scrumptious as well. That wasn't even the best part of this meal. She had treated me to a dozen and TWO BANANA FRITTERS AND I LOVE MYSELF SOME FRITTERS. Those donuts we had eaten was amazing! We used it was our "birthday cake" as we are very new to vegan eats and thought it was a cute idea. Typing up this review right now I couldn't be any happier. If I could give this place 6 stars, it would be a no brainer. I LOVED THIS JOINT and couldn't be any happier with the misses showing me this place. read more

Interior - Felt dirty and unkept. Green tea matcha donut - The best part of the meal. The donut had the texture resembling bread. The hardened green glaze was good. Tofu scramble - Oily, hearty, and full of pesto. The hashbrowns were awful and unbelievably drenched in so much oil I could only eat 2 bites. Had to wash it down later with lots of carbonated beverages. Fried Chicken and Fries - "Chicken" was soft and feathery. The fries were delicious. read more

Review only for donuts: I may be in minority on this one, but I have tried vegan donuts before and Donut Farm is not the best one. We bought a dozen; practically one of each and they all tasted exact the same just different extremely sweet frosting on top. I was hoping for the pumpkin pie to taste like pumpkin but it didn't. Even the chocolate ones didn't really tasted anything like chocolate. Disappointed. Also if you have left overs don't even try eating them. They were as hard as a rock. Conclusion: this is more like a 2 star place, but since they are vegan, they'll get a bonus star. read more

Extremely poor customer service. They apparently now close at 2pm and they haven't bothered to change their schedule online or at their store front. When I told the person behind the counter that I was there 2 days before at 2:30pm and that they were closed she said, "We now close at 2pm." I kindly made her aware that that was not reflected neither online or at their store front, to which she replied, "that's not my problem". Unacceptable customer service especially when you are selling $4 donuts. read more

I'm just over the moon I work in an area where great food is nearby, even within walking/biking distance if you are feeling ambitious. I was very pleased to find pepples donuts just a near couple of blocks from work. I think my first pepples experience was at Philz coffee in Berkeley but coming to the place where they make the donuts, you get a plethora of different flavors. Once you walk in the donut display case is on your right and there are many assorted options. I've had coconut, chocolate, strawberry and salted caramel all delicious. Yes different texture, nice crispy crunch on the outside, not your traditional type donuts but all organic ingredients and not overpoweringly sweet like krispy cream. This place also serves breakfast and lunch. Will be back to try in the near future. read more

We had the Pebble Scramble and Nashville Hot Chik'n Platter. Waitress began her service with an attitude. She's definitely not happy with her job or just not a morning person. Food was over spiced with too much salt and curry. We would of left if we weren't so hungry and other vegan restaurants didn't open until 11. It was a good effort in trying to cook vegan food, but we would NOT RECOMMEND IT!!! read more

General rule of thumb, whenever an establishment plays country music, they don't want black folks to frequent the place. I really wanted some vegan breakfast so I overlooked the blaring music and took a seat. The service was fine but the Pebbles scrambled tofu I ordered were so salty I couldn't eat them and I had to navigate around some sort of inedible stem that was mixed in with the scramble. The hash browns and whole wheat toast were fine, but I probably won't be back. In all, a so-so experience. I tasted the individual ingredients in the scramble and all were fine, on their own, except the tofu, which was just LOADED with salt, making the entire dish inedible. At NO time did anyone ask me if the food was good, if I needed anything, or check in with me in general. I will NEVER set foot inside this awful place again. read more

Got the whiskey tangerine fig, candy cup (maple flavor) and mexican hot chocolate. All flavors were delicious. Normally I'm not as big of a fan of vegan donuts because of their density but these did not disappoint. While they were dense, the flavors came through (especially on the whiskey fig and candy cup) and I like that they were smaller so they weren't overwhelming. read more

It's hard to find good vegan food. We had three orders of their hot chicken. The outside of the crispy fried tofickin gave it that first hard crunch. Hidden where clumps of sweet, salty and peppery flavors of spices inbetween the ridges of the breaded layer, which had been dowsed in hot sauce. You feel the heat of the hot sauce directly after the spices. It's the kind of heat that hits you in the beginning. For me, an avid spicy food hunter, it wasn't bad and enhanced the other flavors. My woman had to take breaks in between bites. The inside portion after the crunch was firm and porous with savory flavors that seep out with every bite as you chew through. I was left with the after taste of all the flavors and a slight burn that made them pop out more the longer I let it sit. Will be coming back. read more

Thanks, Mei for giving us a try again! I’m glad you enjoyed your…
Talk about a good (donut) hole in the wall kinda place...this place is it! I've been here a handful of times and every experience has been wonderful. My most recent, buying a dozen donuts for my coworkers, because if I'm buying donuts they're going to be organic and vegan -- which I shared within them and they were blown away! Some said they were the best donuts they've ever had! And I think I would agree! I've also been in for brunch and left satisfied and happy! This place is always on my radar if I'm around and hungry!..and always worth the drive from just about anywhere to get some donuts! read more

The donuts here are out of this world. Its been a while since I could eat a cake donut, so when I snagged brunch at this spot on my birthday, I ATE TWO. I got the vanilla sprinkle and the salted caramel. The vanilla sprinkle was super sweet and yummy, but the salted caramel was the main event. The donuts were pleasantly crispy on the outside, with a spot-on cake texture inside. dense and delicious. As for our actual entrees...honestly...i wasnt a huge fan. I ordered buffalo cauliflower bites which i found to be deliciously saucy and crispy on the outside, but aggravating to eat due to their awkward size. I appreciate all things double battered, but i guess my appreciation dwindles when its a giant bland cauliflower chunk versus...anything else. I also ordered the hot "chicken" basket. The fried were oily as all hell but impeccably salted (so of course I ate them anyway). The texture of the "chicken" itself was everything i couldve hoped for, but it smelled strongly of wheat and had a slightly sweet seasoning which ruined it for me. I wish there was a buffalo "chicken" option. It couldve used the sauce. All in all, the donuts are the saving grace of this place. Without them, this wouldve been the worst birthday outing ever. read more

I love me some donuts, so I stopped by after reading all the rave reviews. I came around noon and a lot of their flavors I wanted to try were sold out already. I ended up getting four donuts, the coconut curry, chocolate cookie, blueberry and Philz coffee. The best one would have to be the blueberry. It was the moistest in texture and packed the best flavor. The chocolate cookie was super dry. The coconut curry tasted like a Thai curry, but it was too weird for me to get on board. The Philz coffee didn't taste like coffee to me at all. Sadly, the texture was mostly dry and flavors lack lusting. read more
Impressive collection of flavors for a cake donut spot that is truly dedicated to being vegan. Like we-avoid-using-actual-maple-syrup-in-case-it-has-trace-amounts-of-lard-and-use-candy-cap-mushrooms-instead-for-maple-flavoring level of dedication. Mad props. Sparse but quite serviceable in the way of decor and seating...these are the options I encountered today... Bottom/Classic shelf ($2.50-$3): Lemon poppy, coconut whiteout, vanilla sprinkle, chocolate cookie, plain cake, chocolate coconut, chocolate, vanilla glaze, orange creamsicle, blueberry, cinnamon sugar, vanilla cookie, and chocolate sprinkle. Top shelf ($3.5): Coconut curry, salted caramel, candy cap, strawberries and cream, whiskey tangerine fig aka WTF!, philz coffee, lavender earl grey, matcha green tea, meyer lemon, and mexican hot chocolate. Since I was charged with getting 2 dozen donuts back to the office, I went ahead and got two of the assorted dozen deal ($29 for 8 classics and 4 top shelf). If I had my way I would have taste tested all of them...but being the ever-so-polite person I am.... I just cut the most interesting ones into quarters and had my wicked way with them! XD Most notable were: Lemon poppy- Damn good. The tart zing in the glaze cuts off the sugar nicely. Blueberry- Solid! Coconut curry- Interesting..not sure if I can fully get behind this one, but for the savory sweet crew, I could see this working for them WTF!- I'm not sure I could really taste the whiskey, the but tangerine peels are the real deal! Matcha green tea- I can justtt barely get the matcha slightly. Philz coffee- Pretty sure those specks are real ground up coffee beans. Nice bold flavor in the icing! A bit on the sugary side for me, but then I'm usually a raised yeast donut kinda gal. All in all, I would definitely swing by here again... I'd love to try that mexican chocolate! read more

This is my second time coming to this restaurant. The first time I came here was actually really good. I probably would have given it a 4 star, but oh how times have changed. This place looks more and more run down as the days/months go by. When we were seated, I felt like I wanted to clean the table up with a hot rag and mop the floor. Maybe it was my OCD side of everything. My baby knew I was disgusted by it, so to take my mind off of things, he handed me the menu. Thanks babe... We looked over the menu and decided we were going to try something different from the last time we were here...see my honey's review on our first visit. http://www.yelp.com/biz/pepples-donut-farm-oakland#hrid:gCFDHdMnIuaTZOVmYEiX_w We ordered the Chik'n Waffle ($9.00) on the description is "a light and delicious organic waffle served with a generous portion of gardein chik'n nuggets, mushroom gravy, house syrup and fake butter. This meal should say..."a burnt and hard organic waffle served with watered down mushroom gravy smothered on top of 4 microwaved gardein chik'n strips, a side of sticky, thick house syrup and you may get fake butter. This was 1 star, 2 at best written all over it. This wasn't even edible in my opinion. They need to learn Waffle making 101 from my baby because he makes the BEST EVER homemade waffles, I've ever tasted. Aside from the hot mess above, we also ordered Pesto Scramble ($9.00) and a side of House made Tempeh Bacon ($3.00). The scrambler was actually good. I would consider ordering this again. As for the Tempeh Bacon...once again it was burnt. What is up with the cook? I wonder when he put the food on our plate, did he once even think to himself..."would I eat this?" I tell you what, if it was me cooking and my food was burnt, I sure as hell would not serve it to anyone. With disappointment in my eyes, my baby decided to turn my angry face upside down and ordered us 2 donuts. The Fritter was awesome!! I give that bad boy 4 stars, I would give it 5 if it was served warm. As for the donut, we ordered the special chocolate donut...it was disgusting. Hard and dry!!! The icing just flaked off. Even coffee couldn't wash this bad boy down. I use to like this place but no longer...they have gone down hill. The quality of their donuts are mediocre, the facility is a red flag for health services, and seriously servers if you're going to wear "booty short" atleast make it clean. Dang what did you do, not wash it for a week and decide to wear it to work? On another note, if someone is rolling up a joint at a nearby table, you may want to tell them to put it away and not just look the other direction and pretend you didn't see anything. OMFG!!! Seriously!! read more

Are you still doing drop offs at Philz or any cafes in San Francisco or the peninsula?
You can get our donuts at Nourish Cafe, Ritual Roasters, Farleys on Potrero Hill, and at our ferrybuilding store when it re-opens 1/3/22. Feel free to request our donuts at Philz locations, but they paused their orders in 2020.
Are there any gluten free donuts available? I tried to call but it looks like the phone is disconnected and I could not confirm from the menu...
Pepples does NOT offer gluten free donuts at this time. Check out their new website:…
