    Absolutely the very best!!! Get there early for the best picks! Sundays are cinnamon rolls too!!!! They are closed Monday and Tuesdays. Always SO good and the staff is so nice. This is my weekly go to for yummy vegan donuts and they do have gluten free as well :)

    I am impressed! These donuts were delicious and #VEGAN but you wouldn't know by the taste. The donuts were very fluffy and moist. I tried the maple long john and strawberry circle donut. I liked the long john donut texture better but the strawberry icing was superior! Would be interested in trying more flavors! Follow me on Instagram at yelpershawn for more reviews

    Located on Madison's East Side, Level Five Donuts is a small shop tucked inside a space marked by the words "Fortune Favors" above the door and skull-and-crossbones posters in the window. I visited on a weekday morning and easily found free street parking nearby. The shop itself is cozy, with only a couple of tables for dining in. I've read that it's quite popular and often has long lines, but there was no wait during my visit. All of their donuts are vegan and priced around $4-$5 each. They're all yeast-based, with the round donuts featuring different icings and toppings rather than fillings. Flavors on the menu included chocolate, churro, s'mores, peach cobbler, and watermelon & mint, among others. I tried peach cobbler and watermelon & mint, which both had a sweet icing with a subtle hint of mint for the latter. One thing to note is that these yeast donuts are quite dense, which I enjoyed--more substantial than the light and airy style you might expect from places like Krispy Kreme. The staff was super friendly and happy to answer questions about the flavors. At $4 each, I do find them a bit pricey, so while I enjoyed my visit, I'd probably only stop by again if I'm in the neighborhood.

    Delicious donuts, and a unique variety! Small storefront with a few tables inside but mostly meant for pickup/carry out.

    Great vegan donuts. Check their Instagram in the morning for flavor options. There is a line outside because you place your order when you walk in. The line moves quickly.

    I stopped by for a quick donut. There were some really unique flavors. Blueberry lemon donut was my favorite one. Mango con Chile was a very unique flavor. It was not spicy, but was a nice twist. I liked that as well.

    I usually don't like donuts but I wanted to try these after hearing good things. The Key Lime and Raspberry Sweet Corn were so good. I really appreciated that the frosting wasn't overly sweet. flavor combinations were creative without being overwhelming. Location is cute, inside/ next to fortune flavors. Staff were super nice

    Made it to Level 5 after hearing colleague's recommendation. Plenty of street parking on a weekday morning, and the shop is tiny but cute--look for the Fortune Favors and a small Level 5 banner in the window. Flavors range from plain to churros to peach cobbler to watermelon mint All are yeast donuts, bigger than Krispy Kreme and about the size of Voodoo Doughnut in Portland, OR--dense, heavy, and $4 each. The dough's the same; the personality comes from the glaze. This place gives off the Voodoo vibe. They also sell coffee and got a few small tables for dine-in. Tasty? Yes. Expensive? A little. But hey, it's Atwood so you're paying for rent and hipness with your sugar rush.

    Level 5 has been making incredible vegan donuts for years now, selling out of coffee shops/grocery stores/local pop-ups. I know I'm not the only one that is thrilled to see them finally have a storefront--that means consistent availability and way more flavors. They've only been open a few weeks and I hear the lines on weekends are nearly around the block, but I stopped in on a Wednesday morning around 8am and there was no line, friendly service, and plentiful options. The Boston Dream and Everything Bagel Bites are delicious but you really can't go wrong here. There's even a small gluten-free selection. The shop is fairly small but it has a few tables for dining in. It doesn't matter if you're vegan or not, these are just stellar donuts that anyone can appreciate!

    I love this place! You wouldn't believe they are vegan. Go EARLY, they sell out. I can't wait to see how this place grows

    Best donuts ever! My favorite was the Boston Cream and hopefully we'll be back next summer to do it all again :)

    Lovely little donut shop! The owner answered our questions about what it means to be vegan and gluten free. And the donuts were delicious!

    Glazed Pumpkin Spice Donut: Duck Donuts was founded in 2007 in Duck, North Carolina (although…read morethey're headquartered in Pennsylvania). They've since expanded to numerous locations across the U.S. and even overseas. Their mascot is Ollie the Duck, who can be found on the sign and packaging. I learned a few things on my first visit. All the donuts are cake style donuts (as opposed to raised/yeast, which I tend to prefer) and they're made to order. The made to order is a pro and a con as you don't have to stress that they will sell out, but you might have to wait a bit for your order. You can also order ahead, but at this time there is no app and I had issues (which were resolved) with placing an order on their website. Being October and a lover of pumpkin desserts, I had to try the Glazed Pumpkin Spice Donut. It comes glazed with cinnamon sugar and pumpkin spice buttercream. The body of the donut was heavy, dense, and pleasantly chewing with just the right amount of moistness and not too dry and cakey. Flavor was sweet, buttery, and of course pumpkin with hints of cinnamon. I loved the gritty sugar granules, but they were sadly confined to just the pumpkin buttercream island in the center. I'm always a little anxious that a pumpkin spice dessert will be too spicy or a burning spice, but this was sweet, not overpowering, and delicious.

It's definitely a storefront with no seating, but if you don't mind standing there's an area where you could eat at a counter. I arrived at 9am on a Sunday and by the time I finished ordering, a line had formed out the door. I would definitely recommend getting here early; however, it's also the kind of place where you can't go wrong with anything you order. After a lot of waffling, I ordered the lemon currant scone, peach muffin, and ham and Gruyère bun. The scone was super buttery with a crunchy exterior and soft interior, with the most lovely glaze and lemon zest throughout. It definitely screamed summer. The peach muffin was super light and airy, and not at all too sweet. The crunchy cinnamon topping was absolute perfection and brought the perfect texture contrast. I really enjoyed the bun, which was like a mini sourdough loaf. I do think there could have been a bit more ham, but the caramelized onions throughout made sure that every bite was super flavorful. Next time I'm in town, you better believe Batch will be my first stop!

Leave the baking to BATCH BAKEHOUSE. Nobody wants to keep their eyes closed when they're eatin.
