BEST VEGAN DONUT IVE EVER HAD (and i've tried a lot) Sourness from the yeast - perfection Fluffy read more

Nut allergy friendly! Vegan and nut free on everything. Amazing. I had to try it. I saw this cute spot on inKind after walking by it during several Seattle visits and finally decided to stop in after reading another review that mentioned that they are nut-free. Spoiler: Absolutely no regrets, I wish I had visited earlier! I ordered a six pack with a variety of their donuts and shared them with four friends, having a bit of each. I'm glad we did it this way because I don't think I could have finished some of these donuts solo. I also had a seasonal rose latte at half sweetness which was decent, but very wholesomely came with a little donut hole that was pretty good. I will say, they nailed all the flavors. If you like the flavor, probably a 4/5 donut overall. They just weren't always my cup of tea. So the scores here are for personal enjoyment more than anything - like I said, they're solid donuts. Sour Watermelon (2/5): Holy smokes, this one felt like it was punching your taste buds. It's almost confusing on how this is in a donut form. It's more like a sour patch kid. It's intense. I don't think I could solo one. Mango Tajin (3/5): Similar to the sour Watermelon, it's perplexing how this is a donut. It was a bit spicy and tangy, just as the flavor implied. Cookies & Cream (3.5/5): Get ready to get messy. It's crumbly. It's sweet. It's more like a normal donut. Matcha Strawberry (4.5/5): My favorite of the weird flavors of donuts. They really aced the matcha flavor and it's well balanced for a donut. Blueberry Fritter (2.5/5): This was pretty hyped up, but honestly I felt like the blueberry flavor was overpowered just by the sheer amount of sugar. Texture was good, it just felt so sweet. Overall, I'd definitely recommend for a fun experience. Share some different flavors! Paid via inKind with no issues. read more

The doughnuts here run more on the sweet side, although I'm sure they're great paired with black coffee! This place is great for people who have allergies or sensitivities since all donuts are egg free, dairy free, and nut free. They also have gluten-free donuts. Very inclusive shop! I got the Poptart - Poptart inspired doughnut with strawberry filling, vanilla icing, and streusel crumble. The strawberry filling has chunks of berries inside. I love how the doughnut is a chunky-looking rectangle very reminiscent of a poptart! Special- Raspberry filled- covered with a generous amount of powdered sugar on top and filled perfectly. And then a coffee doughnut which has coffee-flavored icing. The icing is very sweet and the sugar overpowers the coffee flavor. I think this shop is great for people who want the standard yeast doughnuts but without any allergens. It's not trying to be a fancy or high end doughnut shop with complex ingredients. Really shows how great vegan doughnuts can be! read more

My absolute favorite raised donut, coffee establishment!! One thing I've always ended about California is there 24 hour vegan donut joints. It's nice to see dojo located in several locations in greater Seattle Capitol Hill in West Seattle will be one of them opened every day normal hours that go into the evening so if you're wanting donut for breakfast, doughnut for lunch or doughnut for dinner, they got you. Service is always incredibly friendly. There's barstool seating, fun vibrant colors inside a bathroom always clean & always inviting. They always have fun fresh new flavors for donuts and drink specials. I'm on their text messaging promos so I'm always informed about their deals and their closures for better or worse. Anyway, if you're in the area, West Seattle or Capitol Hill highly recommend at least trying one of their raised donuts!! read more

I finally made it into Dough Joy in Capitol Hill to use a Groupon I bought ages ago. Even though the promotional deal had expired, they honored the $20 face value toward my order, which was awesome. If you see that Groupon available, definitely snag it because it is a great deal! I brought my toddler along and we had the best time. The donuts are absolutely gorgeous and it was so fun letting him pick one out. He went straight for the rainbow pride donut and I grabbed a vanilla cold brew. Just a heads up for coffee lovers: they are a dairy-free shop, so I had oat milk in mine and it was great. The vibe inside is wonderful, but the highlight for my son might have been the bathroom. He was very impressed that the floor was bright pink! Everything was great and we will definitely be back. read more

LOVE! Stopped by when I saw a glittery rainbow donut and it was DELICIOUS. The glitter clings to everything though and is very difficult to remove after two rounds each of hand sanitizer and washing lol. Worth it and honestly who doesn't want free glitter lip gloss. My partner liked the French toast donut he had too. Highly recommend - we didn't even realize they were vegan until after the fact. read more

OK, I'm gonna be real honest here normally I'm not a big fan of fancy donut places. I like a nice Asian donut place like I grew up with in Southern California. I've never understood the appeal of 5 or 6 dollar donuts when oil boy those 1.50 donuts hit the spot just perfect. That said whenever I'm in a place I'm not familiar with. I do like to check Groupon and other coupon sites to give me a little bit of courage if you will. You know, sometimes you don't wanna bet a big ticket price and be disappointed. I have found some of my favorite spots this way and I will tell you these promotions do work because they retain customers if your product is good and if it's not you just laugh out onto some money but unfortunately that's the game. With that said, I think we might've found a new donut place for when we are in Seattle for our yearly trip This place has a bunch of wild donuts and some of them are pretty over the top while others are classics We got a half dozen for four of us and most all of us tapped out being full by the end of them, which says a lot. Their fritters were great and their raise were even better and I don't mess with no cake.donuts Everything we had was great, so just picked your flavor profile and love it, and I will say the enthusiasm from the staff how they went into depth and detail describing each donut that we asked about really made a big difference beautiful shop, beautiful people working there and a beautiful product read more

Stopped in for a quick pre-dinner bite and was delighted at the assortment of donuts still available at that point in the evening. We spoke with the donut-tender and asked for some of their recommendations--they suggested a few with some input about our preferences, and I was pleased to find that I absolutely loved the chocolate cookies and cream donut. Cute little shop, would definitely stop by again read more

If possible, the peach was even better than the maple. It's all in the dogih, it's fluffy and chewy and perfect. Service,the donuts is top notch. read more

I thought i knew all the donut spots in town, but today I learned other wise. This place is ok the outskirts of caphill/first hill and should not be overlooked by donut lovers in the area. The interior screams dessert shop that has its ish together. When you walk in you can't help but notice all of the donuts to choose from. Not the largest selection in the area, but definitely not the smallest. The teller was so friendly and nice I feel lucky. I was able to have a quick chat about all of their donuts before I decided on the pop tart flavor. No It didn't exactly taste like a pop tart. Honestly it tasted like a typical sugary donut with strawberry gel filling. Lots of tasty filling so I cant complain. read more

Delicious donuts, and super friendly customer service. Inside is cute and spacious, with a clean bathroom. As for donuts, I prefer the fritters and cake donuts, but also really enjoyed the cinnamon sugar donut holes. My toddler ate almost the entire blueberry glaze donut. The only downside is there are only 6 bar seats available for indoor seating. Oh and parking is not fun (I recommend parking a few blocks away in the residential neighborhood) , unless you don't mind paying $5-6 for an hour in the lot right next to the store. read more

If you're a fan of donuts, definitely check this place out. They have classic and unique flavors. All the donuts are vegan! They have an everything bagel donut, which is definitely unique. While it wasn't for me, my family enjoyed the flavors and it's definitely one of their tops. Mt favorite is the apple fritter. The donuts are huge! Definitely different flavors here for everyone. read more

Dough Joy is a pretty good vegan donut shop. Donuts are ~$4 a pop. I'm still adjusting to Seattle pricing, given that I'm coming from the Midwest where you can still get good donuts for $1-2. I guess the pricing is partly due to the location, and partly due to being vegan. I won't go into each donut in detail, but just will say the following: The yeast/raised donuts are soft and fluffy, but still have good heft to them. The glazed donuts are closer to the mom-and-pop donut bakery sweetness level than to not-too-sweet. So yes, too sweet for me, almost cloyingly so, but also possibly not as sweet as the typical extremely sugar-laden donut. The donuts with a cake base (in this case the donut holes and old fashioned) are great, with a good crust on the outside and a crumbly yet moist interior. The powdered sugar & chocolate drizzle donut doesn't have the best construction; placing the drizzle on top of the sugar leads to it easily falling off. By the time I got home, all of the drizzle had disintegrated. Overall the donuts are quite heavy in weight and I was surprised at the heft when I lifted the bag. I don't normally eat vegan, but I will say that you won't miss the milk/eggs/lard in these donuts. Honestly, if I hadn't seen all the signs inside stating these are vegan, I probably wouldn't have noticed. read more

When you find out you have serious diet restrictions, there's going to be that one thing that you would risk a reaction for eating. Donuts were mine. Do I eat a lot of donuts? No. But they have always been that treat that happens on special days, when someone is willing to go out early and get a box to share. Realizing that all donuts have dairy, even the weird shelf stable ones at the grocery store was a big kick! On a short trip to Seattle, my husband and I decided to purchase the same three donuts (maple bar, Boston cream, and apple fritter) from the three donut shops we could find that sold dairy-free donuts. Dough Joy knocked them completely out of the water. One shop sold us donuts that were either raw inside or over-cooked. The other inexplicably seasoned everything with nutmeg. Why? I couldn't tell you. But their donuts tasted like stale grocery store donuts, we took a few bites and threw them out. Dough Joy sold us donuts that are just GOOD. Really good. The Boston cream had so much filling we had to hold it like a taco, and the frosting was delicious. The apple fritter was perfect with lots of crags and apple chunks. The maple bar was fantastic (although my husband wished the maple flavor was a LITTLE stronger.) But seriously. Except for Chuck's maple bars in Renton, because honestly no one can compete with their whipped frosting it's life changing, these are just exceptionally good donuts. Fingers crossed that someday they can open a shop on the Eastside because crossing the bridge for donuts is a bit ambitious even for us! But for these donuts.... I'd consider it. (We also appreciated that each donut got its own little waxed paper bag, so nothing mashed together in transit.) read more

Amazing donuts, exactly what I was looking for. Donuts are my preferred sweet treat, and I'm always on the lookout for a high quality premium donut when I travel. This place checks all the boxes. The strawberry jam in the poptart donut was sweet and tart and perfect. The mango tajin was awesome, a unique standout with a sour, salty, hint of spice on top of the sweet. The classic Bavarian creme was rich and chocolatey. Those were my picks, and I sampled the other three (apple fritter, biscoff, and French toast) and none disappointed. Highly recommend! read more

An absolute donut gem here in Seattle! Amazing for plant-based eaters and just as good for those that consume anything... seriously! Dough Joy offers donuts, drinks, and a wonderful ambiance. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. We purchased a coupon online for a donut/drinks special, so definitely look for one before coming here to save! Their old fashioned donuts are amazing as well as their puffy brownie/rainbow ones, fitting for the area. Their Lavender Chai was also one of the best I've ever had and the extra donut bites thrown in are a wonderful touch. Let this place bring you joy because it certainly does for me every time I visit Seattle. read more

Dough Joy is one of the best donut experiences I've had in a long time. I walked in not really knowing HOW good the donuts would be. But they are really stellar. First, I was delighted that they had some pumpkin varieties, as that's my radar at the moment. Fortunately, they had both an old-fashioned style pumpkin and another pumpkin variety with chocolate filling on the inside. These were both exceptional. But beyond that, the shop itself and the associate working the counter were great. The shop is small but full of fun, bright colours. The associate was incredibly friendly and really made my partner and I feel welcome. I will definitely be coming back here anytime I'm visiting Seattle! read more

Dough Joy - Old fashioned pumpkin and strawberry milkshake - Donuts Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Split a dozen with a friend and grabbed a SF vanilla latte. Every coffee comes with a free donut hole! They offer oat, soy, and almond milk. Aside from that you would never know this place was vegan--the donuts are that good. Tried the cookies and cream, pride, glazed sea salt twist, and GF maple. The texture of these babies are amazing! They're light and airy and absolutely delicious. Keep in mind these are not donuts made to last--the next morning (24 hours after purchase) the texture and even flavor were compromised. The amazing aftertaste of salt in the twist was somehow non-existent. The fluffy and light texture was more dense and not as appealing. Make sure you're going to eat what you buy right away. Do not expect to have a cozy hang out here. They have 5 of those really tall, steel bar stools at a high counter and no other seating. That being said I added a star because the staff was adorable and so kind. My son managed to drop a big cup of water all over the floor. I was mortified, but they were consummate professionals. Do ask staff for recommends--the one suggested was far and away the stand out flavor (glazed sea salt twist). Will absolutely return. read more

I love dough joy! First visited them as a pop up and truck in Ballard, and have been going since. The donuts have definitely gotten better over time, which is why I keep going back. I love the creative seasonal flavors! They are the best vegan raised donuts I've ever had, they also recently started making gluten free cake donuts, which are also tasty but I prefer the raised. My favorite flavors they always have are the strawberry milkshake, French toast, and maple bar. Such a classic maple bar! I love the folks the work there. They are so kind. I go almost every Friday morning and they have learned our names, and we know theirs, and it's such a treat to go and say hi. And then also get donuts! Great people, great food! Excited to see them succeed, I take everyone here and people would never tell the donuts are vegan. They just know them as delicious! read more

When me and my sister (who's also vegan) found out there was a new vegan doughnut spot opening up a few years ago we were so exited and then to try them and find out they were like light and delightful which was so refreshing because for years the only other vegan local option was a particularly heavy and dense vegan doughnut option that never really did it for me. We love dough joy I have literally never had a bad experience with these folks and I absolutely love the pink bathroom and sparkle floor! read more

To be perfectly honest, I swung by because I needed to use the restroom, so I ended up buying a donut. It was around 9:30 on a Friday and there were consistently a couple people grabbing donuts. The store is very aesthetic and the bathroom was super clean. Service is super friendly and they have some counter seating (7-ish seats) available against the windows. I totally didn't realize this place was vegan until I started to write this review, but honestly that makes a lot of sense. I tried the Maple Donut and it was kinda dense, a little dry, and the icing tasted more like straight sugar than maple. If you're vegan and you've got limited options, I guess this will do, but I'm so sorry that this is what you have to settle for. I'll take Krispy Kreme over this any day. read more

Finally supporting this business before the start of 2024 when doughnuts won't have a space in my belly for some extended amount of time. We received $5 coupons from their truck visiting during All Star weekend, and thankfully I was able to use them today. Half dozen cost a little under $20, but each doughnut is slightly under $5. The store was set to close within 5 minutes, but the employee greeted me as if it didn't matter. They were full of smiles and very patient when explaining the cost and helping me select flavors. There were so many to choose from and all were decorated to make mouths water. So glad this place isn't in the home neighborhood, but will surely visit to pick up donuts that are sure to make anyone smile. Love the pastel color scheme that reminds me of playfulness, candy, and simply joy! Their name is fitting ...dough that brings you joy! read more

Wanted to check out this donut spot as I've heard some good things. It's a nice bright open store (almost seems like they have too much space). Service was amazing, the person working was very patient and helpful in explaining the different donuts. We ended up with a chocolate with custard filling (forgot the name of it), the Pride, and the Basic B. They were all pretty good, the chocolate custard one got a bit heavy to finish (they are pretty decent in size). read more

I have been here now 3 times: First- it was like 30 minutes before closing on a weekend and they were out of GF donuts. Second time- wonderful visit, very good gluten free vegan donuts. Third visit- today, excellent donuts, excellent service and experience. Today I went hoping for a donut to cheer me up after a rough week and heading into several doctor visits. The worker (whose name I didn't get) was so nice and understanding that I was a bit scattered and taking longer than usual to order. They were so nice and patient and seemed to just know I needed help with being offered the options available rather than just taking my "drip coffee" order. And this is the best drip coffee I have ever had, so thank you to the lovely staff who made this. Literally the perfect balance of creamer and sugar, it is everything I needed today. Anyway, this place is great and I highly highly recommend it! Great gluten free vegan donut options which is super rare. I got several different kinds, and the maple donut is phenomenal. read more

Why am I only now realizing Dough Joy is vegan??? I guess I missed all the signage-- our group popped by for a post-dinner dessert after the colorful decor caught our eye. These donuts are FIRE; being vegan is a huge added plus. Tons of variety, even late into the evening. I would've grabbed a coffee had it been earlier in the day-- their specialty drinks were unique and pretty enticing! PRIDE donut: Ok I got this for the edible glitter LOL. Beautiful yeast-raised donut tho. Super fluffy and plump, while still gently crispy on the outside. Not greasy at all. Topped with a light vanilla frosting, it's just sweet enough without being mouth-puckering. Plus, they're allergy-friendly, making them gluten- and nut-free! read more

I don't even live in Seattle but I think about these donuts a lot. For someone who tries to refrain from eggs, these donuts just hit the spot. I cannot tell that they are vegan, they are done SO well. Cannot recommend them enough. The Lavendar lemonade drink is also very good. I got the rose lemon donut and the vanilla biscoff. Both were very good. The rose lemon one is very heavy on the lemon, so if you're looking for subtle this is not it. But it was definitely refreshing! The employees are super kind and will provide you with recommendations. The shop is small and service is quick, so it's mostly to-go with very little seating inside. I recommend walking over to Cal-Anderson and soaking up some sun in the mornings! read more
