Check IG for daily selection

I go to Donut Run to much. I go so much that we often do a 4 mile donut run ahead of popping into donut run to balance out the fact that I proudly buy a dozen basically every time I go.

I hate when people say "wow this doesn't taste vegan" because vegan food can be just as good or bad taste-wise as non vegan food, but seriously, I take people all the time and they say it's the best donuts they've had (and follow up with sentence above).

My favorites are the creme Brule (which they have seldomly), Cow tail, the cinnamon buns, fritters and the jam filled donuts. The Homer is a simple classic.

They post on ig every day, so you can check what flavors they have that day. They run out of flavors, so go early if you want to make sure you're not stuck with choice of the last 3 available.

Holy Smokes!

Absolutely fantastic vegan donuts! So many great selections that you are bound to find something. I am not a donut person in the slightest, and I never have been. But this place has really done a great job. I got the mango & coconut donut and the creme brulee donut. Service is super fast and workers are very kind.

Pros: Lots of options, Quick service, Great quality

My favorite place

I have a major sweet tooth and doughnuts are my favorite. They have so many flavors and they're all amazing. The lemon/lime one was incredible. I'm in love with the apple fritters. All the maple flavors are so good. I can't recommend coming here enough!

It's an hour drive away for me but it's completely worth it. Parking is convenient too, fyi.

scrumptious donuts

amazing vegan yeast donuts, as well as some cake donut options. Sooo delicious! No indoor seating, and only 6 people allowed inside at a time so a line often forms outside. Come early for the full selection!

Truly a unique find

This is the only place you can get remotely real vegan donuts, as well ones that are beyond simple. Being able to get a Boston Cream filled one is just heaven.

Pros: So many donuts.

Cons: closes early

Amazing Glazed Donuts

These are the best vegan glazed donuts I've ever had, 5 stars for those, but flavors that aren't fully glazed aren't quite on that same level IMO. I go out of my way to hit up Donut Run whenever I'm in the area but I've gotten there too late and had them be sold out more than once.

Pros: Donut holes available

Cons: Sells out, Closes early

Consistently amazing, best donuts in DC

My boss used to get these for my office and everyone loved them and said things like "wow, can't believe they're vegan". I've loved all the ones I've tried - they have such a good variety and they are so fluffy. I was surprised by how much I loved the cake donuts especially - ugh, the blueberry pancake cake donut, so good!

Pros: Large variety

Too many to choose from

Donut Run has amazing donuts - but the number of options is what really sets them apart. They have an oclverwhelming number of options each day, and the flavors cycle so they always have something new to try.

This place is a must-visit.

Been getting these the past couple years, always a treat. Brought some in for my coworkers and they agreed these were the best donuts they’ve ever had.

Pros: Lot of variety , Donuts are huge

Cons: Costly but worth it, Wish it was open later

Best donuts ever

Everything here is Vegan meaning there’s no need to worries about doing research. It’s so liberating. Not a place for healthy eating but perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.

Pros: Everything is vegan, Fast serving

Cons: Operation time can be limiting

I’m a donut Sunday regular now 🍩🍩🍩

I come here every week now to try out the new seasonal flavors, and every time they’ve been a hit! I’m always happy to give patronage to any vegan restaurants in town, and I recommend Donut Run to anyone with a sweet tooth. The Boston Cream Pie donut in particular was a crowd favorite when I ordered a dozen last time. There tends to be a bit of a line on the weekends, but these bad boys are worth the wait.

Excellent donuts!

We've had the donuts from Donut Run a couple of times and have never been disappointed; the donuts are great, and the shop offers a wide variety from which to choose. Family favorites: the Oreo, Boston Cream Pie and the French toast. Only downside is that at more than $3 per donut, these donuts are something of a luxury item.

Pros: Variety of flavors

Cons: Pricey

New favorite!

We are so lucky to have such a high quality vegan donut shop nearby that is entirely plant-based. Service here is great, though they are always busy on the weekends I've visited. Have tried the Boston Cream, raspberry filled, DC Crumb, blueberry-lemon, cinnamon bun, and French Toast - all were excellent but the Boston Cream was my favorite. Get there early!

Pros: Fresh, high quality, variety, 100% vegan

Cons: None

Must have!

I had the opportunity to visit this place at the end of June. They have the best donuts I have had thus far in NY, NJ, Boston and DC. The owner is a very kind human being. I highly recommend this place

Best donuts ever

Donut Run is hands-down the best donut place I've ever been to. Everything from there has been phenomenal! I would bike a pretty long way to pick these donuts up, they are just that good. If you're anywhere in the nearby area, I cannot recommend Donut Run enough!

Pros: The Boston Cream donut, Great range of flavors

Cons: Only one location and doesn't deliver

Love

All vegan donuts. Lots of flavors. When I visited donut flavors included: maple/blueberry pancake, French toast, vanilla frosted with sprinkles, chocolate frosted with sprinkles, chocolate coconut, raspberry jam (filled), Snickers, vanilla frosted with chocolate chips, and a couple others. I bought chocolate frosted with sprinkles, vanilla frosted with chocolate chips, raspberry jam, and Snickers. All were excellent but something about the simplicity of the vanilla/chocolate chip made it my favorite. Not sure what’s going on with their Instagram updates as it’s been a while since they’ve been active. Less than 5 minute walk from Takoma Metro Red Line.

you must eat these

These donuts were seriously amazing. I got a sampling (of course): cinnamon sugar, boston cream, french toast, and maple blueberry. The boston cream donut was seriously spot on, i havent had one in so many years, but it tastes just the way i remember them. The donuts were all fresh and delicious tasting, and i wish i had places like this near me!!

Pros: all vegan, DELICIOUS

Cons: more coffee ?

10/10 V. donuts

The flavors of the donuts are spot on, they come out so nicely. Classic glazed was better than any regular non vegan glazed donut I’ve had. I usually ask for recommendations from staff for best flavors!

Pros: All vegan donuts , Priced appropriately

Best vegan donuts?

I've certainly never had better. They're consistent as can be - call first on holidays, though, they run out quickly!

Pros: All-Vegan, All-Delicious
