    Vanilla Biscoff
    Rob B.

    Delicious and so fresh tasting! We tried the Apple fritter and Vanilla Biscoff. No complaints definitely an artisan experience.

    Donut deliciousness!
    Michele F.

    I love donuts, but I've always been a bit leery of vegan food...that is, until I tried these donuts! They are yummy! A friend and I stopped in on Sunday afternoon, but were super disappointed to find that they had already closed. One of the women working there, who was super nice, gave us some donuts to go, probably because they are closed on Monday and Tuesday. We were so surprised and thankful for her generosity. We shared the donuts with friends and we all agreed that they were delicious. I will definitely stop back in on my next visit to Seattle.

    Gluten free cake doughnuts
    Natalie H.

    Great seasonal flavors. Gluten free options (Plural). All vegan, so I don't have to worry about dairy in anything. Fun drinks. Sparkly floor!!! I wish I had known about this place earlier.

    Mango Tajin
    Yash K.

    Visiting Dough Joy was joyful indeed. I tried their new special Mango Tajin donut. It has a cake base with mango flavoring on top and it's sprinkled with Tajin. The combination was very yummy. I also got the Caramelatto coffee. The service was very quick. The servers also gave us a couple of cake pops with the coffee. The place has a very relaxing vibe and fun music. It's also located conveniently close to the West Seattle Farmers Market if you're visiting that.

    Vegan doughnuts!! Vegan lattes! A variety of glazed and cake donuts all vegan ! You don't even have to be vegan. These are just straight up amazing donuts. I highly recommend all of their glazed cake. I love cake donuts, but I don't think that's the strong suit. Go with the glazed because they are delicious!!! I really enjoyed the French toast and the strawberry Matcha ! I've tried everything bagel donuts, but not a fan of the cream cheese. IMO. The coffees are good the lattes are great, super creamy! They also offer a wide variety of fun teas & boutique coffees blends. Service is great! Indoor & outdoor seating options too! Cute plant cafe vibes!

    Pistachio latte and an americano
    Jordan O.

    Stopped in for a quick sweet treat. Ambiance - nice and colorful with donuts to match, it's actually connected to a plant store that has all the seating. You can enjoy your coffee and donut as well as shop for some household plants! Service - people taking our order were really friendly and explained what a lot of the flavors were. Food - I normally don't focus on the drinks but the pistachio latte was delicious! Best I've had forsure, plus each coffee came with a donut hole to get you started. Donuts were solid, moist (worse thing is a dry donut).

    The box, the sticker, the little touches!

    The aesthetic of the shop and the little details are amazing and the service is so friendly and easy going. I really enjoy the selection of donuts they have. Love the rise on the donuts and they're nice and fluffy Top favorites: lemon lavender, apple fritter, maple bar, chocolate churro old fashion Too sweet for me: french toast, vanilla biscoff, everything but the bagel (too much glaze for a sweet/savory combo

    Lavender Latte and Pink Powerpuff
    Andy N.

    OMG, I've heard such great things about Dough Joy that I'm so happy I finally got to experience these delectable donuts on my recent trip to Seattle. And honestly, who cares that these are 'vegan'? Not having any animal products in the dish doesn't necessarily mean it's not delicious. Make sure you look out for an online coupon before coming! I managed to find a deal that was 4 doughnuts and 2 drinks for $20, which saved me a pretty penny when it comes to having all these treats. There were some rockstar standouts including their Bavarian Cream (vanilla cream filled and topped with chocolate icing) and their Turtle Cheesecake (another chocolatey, savory donut). They rotate weekly specials so I hope you get to try these two. For our drinks, we got a Lavender Latte and a Pink Powerpuff. Both drinks really hit the spot and fit their entire look and feel. It even came with a small donut hole that went through the straw - super cute! Shoutout to their Pride Donut because it was filled with glitter and I was living for the aesthetics.

    The doughnuts were okay. The doughnuts are cute and the flavors are fun but taste-wise. They are just average. I went early in the morning to buy them and they were kinda dry. So I don't know if that's how they're supposed to be with it being vegan, or if they had just been out for too long? Idk. All the workers were kind though, so I'm appreciative of that.

    Gluten-Free donut options

    We went out of our way to go here since they have started carrying a variety of GF doughnuts. We arrived at the Capital Hill location around 4pm on a Sat and they still had plenty of GF and regular. They were not out of any which is crazy for a donut shop!! This really is the only donut shop in the area that offers more than one flavor of GF donut. They have 6 and have them at both locations. The photo shows the size (small like palm of your hand) and flavors. They are very good flavor-wise and texture-wise. I do recommend trying them all since I was surprised with what I enjoyed the most (tiramisu which I don't typically like). The regular donuts have an amazing cake texture and are very big and thick. The only difference between all of them is the topping / flavor - the base is the same. They are perfectly flavored. Not too sweet like most. We bought 6 different kinds then cut them up so everyone could try each donut. Highly recommend this method. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. We will be back!! (And everything there is vegan which you would never know flavor or texture-wise)

    Gluten-free carrot cake donut (January 2024). Moist cake and delicious.
    Cora L.

    I loved Dough Joy donuts very much before I developed a gluten sensitivity. It's one of the things I missed most! So you can imagine my joy when I saw their gluten-free announcement. And the carrot cake GF donut DID NOT disappoint!!! It was available for walk-in customers (January 2024), and the cashier mentioned they'll add more flavors in a couple weeks. Their GF donuts are moist inside and delicious all over. It was totally worth the wait because they really nailed their recipe. Thank you, Dough Joy!!!!

    Lemon filled doughnut!
    Lana S.

    To be totally honest, doughnuts are rarely my treat of choice. However, when I make the trek over to Alki Beach, I always make a pit stop at Dough Joy. Their doughnuts are so delicious. You would truly never know that they are vegan, as everyone else has said. I always like trying the different flavors (and they're constantly coming out with new fun seasonal flavors!). I love supporting vegan businesses and Dough Joy is amazing. Today I got the lemon filled doughnut as I'm obsessed with lemon and ...10/10. Fantastic. The shop is also connected to an adorable plant store. The two employees working today when I was there were just the most lovely humans. Big fan!

    Couldn't resist!
    Rima Z.

    Cute little shop, with a good variety of choices. Really appreciate the bite sized options as well. Service was friendly and patient (which is nice when trying to decide what to buy!)

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

    Nut allergy friendly! Vegan and nut free on everything. Amazing. I had to try it…read more 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.

Raspberry Riot is our favorite. The perfect balance. Open until 4:00 pm but plus side also sold at PCC (until sold out). Plenty of indoor tables. Coffee & tea sold there too. Great friendly service from the tram. A must try!

    Mighty-O Donuts seems to be one of the few vegan donut shops that actually tries to make yeast…read moredonuts - most places are cake only. We decided to drop by after eating lunch in the area for a sweet treat afterwards, then ended up picking up a whole dozen... Some notes for a couple that I tried: Maple Bar ($4.99) - Hmm.. Not that fluffy or light. Instead or being airy, it's more dense and has a kind of springy chew. The glaze is sweet and gives off a heavy maple fragrance, an indication they use real maple syrup in the glaze. Maple bars from other places are usually disgustingly sweet with basically no maple flavor - this one is sweet but more well balanced. I think the texture is definitely different from a typical yeast donut. I wonder if it's just because it more difficult to make vegan yeast donuts vs cake donuts? It's a different type of yeast donut, but still very good. (4/5) Chocolate Peanut Butter ($4.45) - Good peanut butter flavor in both the topping and glaze. I think the donut base is also peanut butter but it could be contamination from the glaze. The base isn't very sweet and is kind of almost savory in flavor. The donut is dense but not crumbly and instead very moist. Not really crusty, so not too much textural difference. I think it's baked rather than fried. Still very sweet. (4/5) Devils Playground ($4.45) - The donut base is dense with rich chocolate flavor, and coated with a chocolate ganache of just the right thickness. I hate it when donuts just have a smear of topping to make the donut look attractive, but does barely anything flavor wise. This one, on the other hand, is richly flavored. (4/5) Chocolate Raspberry ($3.65) - This is my favorite, same chocolate cake donut base as above but with bright berry notes and specks of seeds. The tangy berries do wonders to temper down some of the sweetness. (5/5) French Toast ($3.65) - My least favorite by far. Covered with peanuts (which is fine), but the cake donut base or perhaps the glaze tastes heavily earthy, like an overload of cinnamon and nutmeg. (2/5) People who expect the exact same texture as a non-vegan donut, both the cake and yeast types, will probably be disappointed. If I just think of these donuts as their own thing, they're actually quite good. There's another donut shop that I prefer down the street, but Mighty-O Donuts certainly isn't a bad choice for a sweet treat.

I tried the passionfruit creme brulee donut, and though a bit pricey ($6), it was worth the money. The top of the donut had that perfect creme brulee torched top, and the passion fruit inside was perfectly tangy, which offset the fattiness from the donut itself. It wasn't very sweet, but I kinda liked that. The other flavors on the menu also looked great. I hear they rotate their menu often. There is nowhere to sit here, so be prepared to take your donuts to go. The shop does sell some beverages, like water or milk, to help you get in the donut mood. The service on my visit was fine.

This location is a very short walk from the Seattle Convention Center. Everything looked decadent and over the top, to the point where I wasn't sure that anything looked truly appealing beyond the simple things like the Homer or maple bar, until my eyes landed on the banana cream pie. I'm a *fiend* for anything banana/banana flavored, so my mind was instantly made up. And it was outstandingly good. The banana cream was perfection, the cinnamon on the Voonilla Cream was a nice spicy touch, and the banana chip on top added a little crunch to the overall softness of the donut. This was truly the most delicious donut I've ever had and I wish so much there was something comparable nearby in the Bay Area (maybe there is and I just haven't found it yet). But if it wasn't for the banana cream pie, I feel like there wouldn't have been a ton of options that looked good at Voodoo. There were some others I would've been happy to try, but the assortment felt very overhyped for all of the praise I've heard of Voodoo. But I can't really complain too much when all I'd need here is the banana cream pie anyway. Hope they never stop making it.

I'll give it a four out of five: great texture, great flavor. The maple is really strong, stronger than my preference. I'll go to the buttermilk bar. The buttermilk bar was nice and dense, something great to dunk in a milk or a coffee. The Chocolate Ring, which is what they call it, I'd give it a five out of five: nice and pillowy soft in the middle, nice and had a crisp outside to it, and the chocolate was nice and rich and dark. Of course, you have the classic raised donut, which I had two of. Nice and fluffy in the middle, nice thin layer of glaze on the outside, pillowy soft, definitely a five out of five. When I came back from my cruise to Alaska, I went back to Voodoo Doughnut to get more of the classic raised donut and the Chocolate Ring. Definitely a great donut. If you haven't been, you should go; you have lots of unique choices. I went for some of the classics because I knew I couldn't go wrong with them, and I wasn't disappointed at all.

Location is excellent as you can go here as a dessert after your meal, but naturally this means parking can be a pain to get.

The store is really cute with lots of mochi donuts on the wall and a pink aesthetic that is perfect for friend hangouts or dates. I got the chizu matcha latte with stir fried boba, which came out to almost $9 total. Bold of them to charge a convenience fee on top of sales tax to make the drink super expensive. I opted for 50% sugar and there is absolutely no option to request less ice. A supposedly regular had to verbally flag to the worker to not add ice, which I probably should do, but at least please add it as an option so that it is more convenient. I guess they want to cut costs and give us less drink? For 50% sugar, I don't think they respected the customizations as I saw the worker just pour premade matcha latte to the cup and then added the cheese foam on top. When I tasted my drink, it was grossly sweet. Boba was undercooked so I ended up having to toss a lot of the boba out, and the boba was not cheap at $0.95 for the topping. Fortunately, when I got my drink, they had a few mochi donut circles I got to sample, and I am glad they sold out of the mochi donuts as the mochi donuts did not have the chewy texture that is present in mochi donuts. I dodged a bullet from committing to a pricey $4+ mochi donut - like other places charge way less for one for better quality
