    Oh hi, perfect vegan YEAST donuts within a 15 drive from my apartment? Dangerous. The cold brew caramel glaze, the Boston cream, and the chocolate glazed were all standouts. I'm hoping for a non-pudding cream-filled, and a jelly-filled, and keeping my eyes peeled for those options.

    Apple fritter, Boston cream, cheesecake brownie, cinnamon sugar donut, coffee cake, all VEGAN!

    Absolutely delicious!! Service was great with a very wide selection of donuts and other baked goods. Fall flavors are available and the coffee is out of sight!! The store had a steady flow of local customers from when I went in to order, showing that it is a crowd favorite for all! I love that this vegan shop does not have to market themselves as fully vegan, and everybody loves it no matter what!

    Chocolate Cake Donut

    This is a pretty solid vegan donut place. It's nothing extraordinary, but I enjoyed my donut. I got the chocolate cake donut and it was pretty good. It did leave a film on the roof of my mouth that I didn't like, but the flavors were good. The place itself is quite cute and clean. It's small, so you definitely need to grab and go, but that worked out okay for me. The staff member was also friendly and quick. I would recommend this place if you're in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    Great for any donut-lover, you would never know these were vegan if put in a lineup. Love the variety of flavors and textures! The tahini filling in particular was perfect. I'll be coming back for sure. The price is a bit high considering the donuts are light and not too big. The service on the other hand, was fast and friendly. They even threw in an extra donut since they were closing soon!

    We got there right at the 8am opening time to get a treat for a vegan birthday girl (my sister). I think it was cool that they make a Boston cream, for vegans to get a chance to try that- that's the one she had right away. All the donuts are vegan. It's nice that they give vegans such a big selection, including some flavors that are pretty unique. I tried the Thai tea and the kiwi filled with strawberry jam. The inside is soft and just the texture I like in a yeast donut. The person who helped us said that the blueberry cake donuts were the best he had ever had- my brother said that donut was good but not the best cake donut he has had. I personally prefer yeast donuts- and they have a big selection of them, which is awesome. The one critique I would have is that the frosting is very sweet, which might be overpowering the other flavors. I wasn't able of really distinguishing the Thai tea flavor, which someone else also noted. I definitely recommend the jelly filled! They do something cool where instead of just having a blob of jelly in the middle, which is standard, they fill the entire bottom layer with jelly. It wasn't an artificial overly sweet goop, which some places do, it tasted like a freshly made strawberry jam, and was not too sweet. My family members who tried the apple fritters thought they were great- with chunks of apples that melted in your mouth. They said maybe it didn't need the glaze- the natural sweetness of the apple was enough. They also liked the contrast of textures. The donuts come in pizza boxes. Overall nice experience here!

    I have only tried their Thai iced tea, which was not up to par. Very friendly service overall, and they accept credit cards.

    This place was SO COOL! I live in Baltimore and I think what Reading Terminal Market is is what ALL…read morethe marketplaces in Baltimore strive to be...and are failing miserably. This place was HUGE. It went on for miles in all directions. There were tons of people filling all the space. It was tight in there. I had to use all my aggressive navigation skills to get around. I was also constantly rubber necking to take in all the food stalls and vendors. I could have spent an entire day there exploring and would have seen maybe a third of what's there. Unfortunately I was only in town for a day, so aside from quickly walking through, I stopped at a bar for a really good cider. Overall, excellent visit and I definitely want to go back!

As it turns out, everything is available. Cheeses, meats, donuts, ice cream, candies, desserts, coffee, and everything in between to include small rocks and crystals. Realistically you can spend a good 3-4 hours in this market alone. Wandering the aisles, ordering various food options from various vendors and then finding a seat to sit down and enjoy your food. That last part, finding a table to sit down and eat your food could be a bit tricky. When we first arrived at the market it was 9:30 a.m. and we were able to find a seat without much trouble. When we returned to the market for a second time, around 1:30 p.m. it was noticeably more packed inside and I had to do two loops before a table cleared up. There are so many vendors inside you really can't even come close to trying them all in one visit. I would like to come back and try some more places next time. As for parking, I was told to park at the Convention Center parking structure, but when I arrived there was a large sign stating that parking was full. I ended up finding a public parking lot at Commerce & N. 13th St which I parked at, but after 4 hours or so I think it cost me about $50. To be expected, unfortunately, for big city parking.

My husband is a plain Jane so he primarily likes glazed. He will also sometimes eat a glazed with vanilla on top but that's it. I'm the told opposite. The more loaded and frosted, the better. No matter what kind of donut I get there, the donut itself always keeps it shape and flavor even a day later. The peanut butter cream is my all time favorite.

I got the egg tart on recommendation as well as a cheese pastry, pandan cake and red bean moon cake and everything was delicious! The cheese pastry had the softest exterior with a warm cheese filling that was savory but light at the same time. The moon cake was very rich and perfect for sharing! The pandan cake and egg tart were perfectly not-too-sweet, which is why I personally tend to gravitate towards Asian baked goods. It's a smaller but very cozy and homey interior with two tables for sitting down to enjoy your coffee and pastries. It's also cash only or Venmo, so keep that in mind if you never carry cash! I look forward to visiting again and trying more items!

It's a small bakery and a small selection but sufficient. We got the sponge bread, the custard bread, the egg tart, the pineapple bun, and the barbecue pork bun for )10.70 cash. The sponge bread is slightly sweet and very light and really quite wonderful. The barbecue pork bun and the pineapple bun were exactly as it should taste. No wonder those two are the best sellers. The egg tart is not too sweet, none of these breads are (aka high praise for any pastries ). Would definitely return! I thought the service was nice. I think there could be some challenges with English, but you could also just point!! My personal favorites are the sponge bread and the pineapple bun. So that's what I would get again. For people who love barbecue pork bun, I think you probably would want to get this.
