Donut Farm

I love Donut Farm, Oakland/Berkeley. Honestly, I probably love it too much but if you're looking for a vegan donut, this is place.

Drove all the way from San Ramon for these vegan donuts and they were so fluffy and delicious. By far the best vegan donuts I have ever had. I just wish they were slightly bigger in size. Coming back soon to support these hardworking folks at Donut farm!

I had a donut craving and came in right before closing so my surprise that all their donuts are vegan. I had the glazed which was delicious, it was so soft and fluffy and had just enough glazed sugar on it. At $2.50 for glazed, I thought it was very good. My friend had the gourmet blueberry donut but I find those too dense and cake-y if you will for my taste. CC accepted.

Best donuts in the Bay Area. Vegan @ Krispy Kreme level…. Melt in your mouth, light and fluffy!! Weekend only selection.

Reuben breakfast sandwich here is delicious. I got the orange creamsicle donut to go with it. Everything vegan AND organic (which I didn’t know until the owner stopped by the table to talk to us). I’m gonna be coming back here for brunch way more often.

Phenomenal donut shop. Wide selection of great cake donuts Mon - Thur, “Real” donuts also Fri - Sun. Brunch most weekends. Crème Brûlée is to die for. I recommend going early!

The donuts were delicious. The donuts have no seed Oils, they are Fried in palm oil and the glazes use olive oil. The guy at the register was very helpful and Friendly. The atmosphere is in construction. They will be having a stage With an eatery for things like burritos and such in a couple of months. I’m very excited that they’ve moved to this location. That’s a bit easier for me to get to. Sometimes i just have to have a doughnut. Today I got a lavender English breakfast donut that is partly eaten in the photo, a maple donut and a lemon poppyseed donut

The lavender earl grey donut is the best donut I've ever had. The donuts here are pretty sweet, but the flavors are so good! Pumpkin donut was also great. Pepples Donut Farm is a pretty cool place in general.. You'll have to come by and check them out!

I ordered a burrito and they only gave me four chips as seen in the picture. Might well not even bother putting in there. I was very disappointed but the breakfast burrito was so savory and tasty that I had to forgive them ( I did take off a star though). Also their glazed vegan donuts are so perfectly sweet and fluffy. Edit: I am giving them all their stars because I love their amazing customer service. The young ladies that served me were so nice with great hospitality! Also they gave me a free donut and apologized for taking a little too long with my order, I didn’t even complain they just did it!

My boyfriend is gluten/dairy free and we came here based on good ratings from the Find Me GF app. While he couldn’t have the donuts, we were mainly after brunch and the tofu scrambles were delicious! He had the Pepples scramble with avocado, and I had the Pesto scramble. Both come served with hash browns and sourdough toast, so we just left out the toast for him. I usually don’t love tofu but this dish was absolutely delicious! We are from out of town but will definitely stop back here if we’re in the area again 😄

Donut farm has a lot of organic, vegan friendly, donuts! The donuts were tasty and doughy. Kind of different from other kind of donut or cake doughnuts. The staff member was super friendly and sweet when we showed up at opening time. There’s a lot of variety of donuts and the menu always have something new or different to try.

I just want to ask you, where can you get vegan fried chicken, waffles, donuts, and poutine? This place of course. They have a sweet brunch menu on the weekend with specials. They do table service but, i like how it has a self service feel with the tableware/water. Definitely recommend the Buffalo wings and florentine "Benedict". Lastly, they have a variety of flavors of donuts. Mhmm apple fritters.

Vegan donuts for the win. I love pulling a fast one on my loved ones who aren’t vegan. I brought the goods and they could not tell it was vegan. Little location with delicious vegan donuts and coffee. Street parking. Mask required to enter.

This place has some seriously good donuts...so much so that when I briefly moved out of state, I was sad that I wouldn't get to munch on these as often. The Earl grey flavor has had me coming back for years and most recent, I tried their pumpkin spice and admittedly, it was bomb. This place is never hit or miss, it's just consistently fresh and lit.

sweet lord these are some awesome donuts! 🤩 a bit smaller than average but very cakey & hearthy which I enjoy!! on top of the dozen that we got we were also gifted the classic, fluffy type and those reminded me original style from my home country! havent tried all if flavors yet 🫠 but as for now lavender earl grey & the classic glazed are my winners 🤍

Their best donuts are on the weekends when they have yeast raised donuts. I've included a list of the available yeast raised donuts that the cashier provided me. The cashier was a bit rude to me this morning but idc because the donuts are great and it's worth the social friction to get them. She seems like maybe she's smart and capable in other ways besides being nice to random strangers who want to give the business money, like maybe she's helping with the interior improvements or something.

I wasn't sure what being vegan added to a donut but decided to give it a try. The dining room wasn't yet open but would be a nice space to chat and do a little work once it is available. I like that they have coffee & a great selection. I really liked the maple yeast donut, very moist and crisp and fresh. The vanilla coconut was also on point but the chocolate coconut was stale and dry, so I'll make sure to ask which are the freshest next time! Glad to have this business on the block & hope there are more local eats coming to Adeline corridor.

Hidden gem. Great food, great vibes. Service was excellent and food was delicious. They are a donut shop during the week and also have brunch on weekends. Can't wait to come back.

Every time I’m in the Berkeley area I have to hit up donut farm. Usually I just grab donuts, but today I went on a limb to try one of the savory options: the mac and cheese. The cheese sauce is so flavorful compared to many that I’ve tried! You can tell a lot of love was put into it

Wondered upon the shop on the way to urban ore. Abdul outlet amazing service, delicious food, MASSIVE breakfast burrito was 10/10 and everyone loved their donuts and special flavors. I think our favorite was lavender earl grey donut. Tasted like a sweetart! Definitely recommend and will be back.

So far i like this place. No homeless discount. Wait time was a bit long. Donut a bit expensive. But all vegan so all good. I will go here when i have 3.50 and want a nice vegan donut. Service is good.

Today I went out to our local @donutfarmoakland to pick up some fresh vegan donuts. I got matcha and blueberry, total classics. Then I had to spice it up a bit with lavender earl grey. Texture-wise, the donuts were crisp on the outside and nice and cakey on the inside. Flavor-wise, the matcha and blueberry were a bit mild, but when it came to the lavendar earl grey...that was 10/10! Absolutely delicious and would get again. I’m going for their Philz coffee flavor next. 👀

4 stars because their donuts are great and I feel good about their ingredients. However, almost all of the donuts taste the same, there’s no distinct taste for any of the flavors. The only one I could taste was the rose: I could taste the rose water or whatever they used. Everything else just tastes like sugar. Still so delicious! I recommend for sure.

Great place for a quick bite! The vegan donuts are amazing, although I would recommend coffee to cut the sweetness. As for foods, the gravy with the chicken and waffles is divine, and the crunch wrap that they make is tasty. The only thing that could make it a little bit better would be hot sauce.

they just opened a space next door I heard they have yeast donuts on weekends $5+ that sells out. They selling other food too! con: heavy SWEET $4 donuts for dipping. Pls have flavors that are less sweet = less calories. thanks, then I'll give you 5 stars

Fantastic Boston Cream and Bavarian Creme donuts. Perfect really. The more croeller-like donuts were far too sweet for me. My wife liked the coffee but I found it not-so-great. Atmosphere not very welcoming, but the woman did make a fresh pot of coffee for us. It looks like they supply many local places with vegan donuts. A bit pricey. We paid $21 for a half-dozen donuts, which is significantly better than single donuts purchases ($3.50-4.50 each). But the Boston Creme donut was so good I must recommend the place to anyone looking for a good vegan donut.

If you haven't tried a vegan donut yet please come here. The vegan food is pretty good. This is a great spot to start your day.

Inside: Dark, not updated, but clean. Donuts: Dense, cakey. Only the top is glazed but it’s thick and the layer runs into the center hole a bit, giving a “filling” effect. I only tried the top shelf ones. Price: Usually I expect to pay $3.00 per donut. This shop ranges $3.50-$4.00.

12/7/2025 We had Brunch there this morning and it was pretty good! I thought that the Brunch was better than that of their former location in many ways. The Reuben Sandwich was pretty good despite not having Rye bread or Corned Beef (vegan of course, if there is such a thing?). The Fries were very good! I also saw an order of Pancakes go out to a nearby table that looked delicious, I want to try that next time! 3/2/2025 NEW LOCATION! We drove by the San Pablo Ave location a couple weeks and did not see their Sign and thought, oh no! another casualty of restaurants in the Bay Area? We found the new address had since been changed on their Page, feature picture NOT. Much nicer space, same delicious Donuts and maybe some new ones too?

Flavors purchased - Mexican hot chocolate and blueberry. Texture - It’s bouncy and kind of cake like. Definitely something I enjoyed about it that was different from most donuts. Taste - Classic donut flavor. Sweet and the flavors aren’t super strong. Personally, I have a preference for stronger flavors. The chocolate wasn’t super chocolaty and blueberry wasn’t all that tangy or strong (I know blueberry is generally hard to get right sometimes but i still would have liked more flavor). Price - I paid around 10 dollars (including the tip) for two donuts. Only bought two to see if I would like them. TLDR; Definitely sweet (like most donuts), the texture is good, flavors aren’t as strong as I prefer, average cost $3-4 per donut.

Donuts are tasty, all vegan! The problem is they don't keep their website or social media up to date. They no longer serve any breakfast or food other than donuts. Their non donut food was delicious, but unfortunately they don't serve anymore. I'm hoping this changes I miss having a local delicious vegan breakfast/brunch I could count on.

FIVE STARS for the vegan donuts! These were some of the best vegan donuts I've ever had. TWO STARS for the service. I went every day for three days, but didn't appreciate being asked for a tip for having someone put 12 donuts into a box. It was something like, "Which tip option can I press for you?" Back on the search for another good vegan donut place.

In my opinion, donuts should taste like sweet, fried dough. These donuts tasted like sweet. Just sweet. I think they just put too much of the glaze on that it overpowers the dough. The matcha tasted like green sugar, and the blueberry tasted like blueberry sugar. I like that they are a dedicated vegan donut place, and I even like that they're mostly cake donuts. But, I wish they had un-glazed cake donuts or just put a thinner glaze on the existing ones.

Unfortunately, I apparently went on a day they hadn't planned for many diners. There was only one person on the floor. It took several minutes to get menus, and over half an hour to be served. They had run out of a few things, but there were plenty of other options. The Reuben was ok, but really unbalanced: too smoky and too much sauce, which was overpowering. I know this is a casual, laid-back place, but it was disappointing.

I purchased 4 donuts. It’s cake based instead of rise donut. The donut itself was pretty dry. The flavor of the glaze was okay I guess. But I can taste they are not fresh at all. Very disappointed, especially they were NOT cheap.

Okay look here folks, the donuts are excellent; they're always good, especially the specialty donuts on the weekends which SHOULD be made on weekdays too given it's A DONUT SHOP! Pricy but good. With that being said I am obviously upset that the specialty donuts are not made on weekdays, but I am TRULY upset that they do not serve hot food anymore. WHY!? I don't know, but the hot food was GREAT! Just look at the reviews. People loved it. Biscuits and gravy were FIRE. Hash browns were on POINT. The jackfruit burrito was SMACKIN. So the donut farm definitely took a turn for the worst and that sucks. If they were to begin serving hot food again I would absolutely change my rating to five stars, but until then, my rating stands. We need good, vegan breakfast food back. I'm sure many will agree with that.

Apple fritter was low on apple, high on oil, and yet somehow had dry parts? I wrung part of it out and got an actual puddle of oil. The people were nice. I want very much to like their stuff. Part of me hopes the cake donuts are great, and I might go back and try one. But never again to that apple fritter. Bad first experience. I gave an extra star because of staff friendliness.

Their best donuts are on the weekends when they have yeast raised donuts. I've included a list of the available yeast raised donuts that the cashier provided me. The cashier was a bit rude to me this morning but idc because the donuts are great and it's worth the social friction to get them. She seems like maybe she's smart and capable in other ways besides being nice to random strangers who want to give the business money, like maybe she's helping with the interior improvements or something. Edit 2/22: Changing my review because their Instagram account replied saying that I could leave a comment on delivery services asking for a specific donut, and when I did they gave me a call and said they could not give me my donut. What a waste of time!

This place runs a silly business. Asked to get one of their breakfast sandwich items for about 17 dollars and a 20% tip. They said it was for dine in only. But offered a donut which had the taste of a day old like it was from Safeway . Paid $3.50 for a mid ass donut yet they could have made $21.00 . Maybe the guy at the counter did me a favor buy saving hella money. Probably won't go here again, best of luck.

Cutting down stars drastically because they had the audacity to ask for a tip for just picking out donuts and putting them in a paper bag. On top of that tip had 3 options: 1$, 2$ and 3$. Most expensive donut is 3.50 so even if you want to tip, they want you to pay 30% tip as the lowest option. I dont like these socially awkward scenarious these businesses create. A donut place should not ask for a tip. Also meh donuts. Nothing special.

Earl grey donut taste like soap. I had to immediately spit it out. Cold brew looked crusty/ grainy and I was not surprised as I came to the bottom of the cup that this was the result.

Extremely poor customer service. They apparently now close at 2pm and they haven't bothered to change their schedule online or at their store front. When I told the person behind the counter that I was there 2 days before at 2:30pm and that they were closed she said, "We now close at 2pm." I kindly made her aware that that was not reflected neither online or at their store front, to which she replied, "that's not my problem". Unacceptable customer service especially when you are selling $4 donuts.
