Horrible! DO NOT GO!!

These were literally, without exaggeration, the worst donuts I’ve ever had in my life. Also, they were $3 a piece!

There are 4 types of donuts: donuts that are incredible, donuts that are good, donuts that are bad but you will still eat them because they are donuts and who doesn’t want a donut, and then donuts that are so bad you can’t even eat them. I’ve never had a donut in the fourth category...until I went to Nomad Donuts. The vegan donuts were literally like bagels with bad frosting. The donuts snapped when I bit into them and they were grossly chewy. I got a lemon poppyseed and a Mexican chocolate, took one bite out of each, and promptly threw them away. Seriously....DO NOT GO!!

Vegan bagels are a must try

The place is nice. There's always a line during the weekend, but it's worth it for those amazing bagels. I recommend adding vegan cream cheese or hummus.

Good but not great

They were sold out of a number of flavors (like regular chocolate and vanilla). I sampled a couple of vegan donuts (Thai peanut and a cherry filled with chocolate glaze). They were good but not as good as Voodoo Donuts or Donut Friend. My non-vegan wife tried some of the non-vegan ones and came to the same conclusion.

Pros: About half the donuts are vegan, Unique flavors

Cons: The donuts aren't amazing

so-so donuts

I tried 6 vegan donuts and I don't understand what all the fuss is about. They all lacked flavor and were just plain bland. Staff were very friendly though.

Warning, sugar is probably not vegan. Their menu says "refined" sugar is used in all vegan products.

Pros: friendly staff

Cons: bland tastes , street parking difficult, "refined sugar" (not vegan?)

Best Donuts in SD

I've been here many times. Consistently the best vegan donuts in SD! So many unbelievably interesting flavor combinations, like "The Lebowski White Russian". I especially LOVE the donut holes too (4 for $1...great deal). The great thing about Nomad is they don't just have a couple of vegan flavors, I usually see 8 or more each time! But they do sell out quickly so it's worth calling to check if you are craving a particular flavor that you saw them post on their Instagtam (they always post the flavors on IG a day in advance). The donuts are not cheap (most cost $3 each), but they are large and very well made...truly artisanal donuts HaHa. Enjoy!

Pros: Rare Vegan Yeast-Raised Donuts, Lots of unique vegan flavors, Will let you sample the icing

Cons: Close early, Hipster vibe , Wish the whole shop was entirely vegan
