This is it! By finding Dough Joy you have stumbled upon the best donuts in Seattle.

The donuts themselves are a treat, so if you’re a Basic B there is a Basic B glazed donut for you and it’s excellent! They also absolutely nail the classics like Bavarian Cream and Strawberry/Chocolate glaze. So good.

One of my favorite things about them, though, are the special flavors they introduce every week. I still think about the absolutely spot-on flavor of their cinnamon candy donut back around Halloween last year (pssst, can we bring that one back some time?! For fun?) And the cinnamon bun donut with that icing in the middle?! Whaaaat?! There is so much flavor packed into their icing for some of their varieties, it’s ridiculous. I didn’t know you could get that much flavor into icing.

Their coffee drinks hit the spot as well, and come with a fun little treat.

If you hesitate for some reason because vegan, seriously, don’t. I have brought these divine donuts to “plant-averse” family and did not say a WORD and everyone agreed that they were amazing. When I dropped the vegan fact they were like “nnnnooooooo wwwaaaaaay” and I was like “yes way.” Yes, welcome, it is time to join us in the year 2023 where food is delicious.

So yeah, come on over and give this awesome donut...

My wife and I both LOVE Dough Joy. Their doughnuts are absolutely delicious! We are both vegan so it’s so good to have a plant based doughnut shop right around the corner from us in West Seattle. There is usually a long line, especially on weekends, but I don’t mind. I will always support small business over large business. The employees are all very friendly and kind and helpful.

I am not sure why there are reviews complaining about pricing. First off, they are vegan, and unfortunately, being vegan and buying vegan products is not cheap. Secondly, they work to pay their staff a livable wage and benefits. In Seattle, that isn’t easy. Running a business in Seattle is expensive. Give them a break. They are not a big corporate chain. The pricing is clearly labeled and if it’s too expensive for someone, then they don’t have to go there or they can just excuse themselves and walk out the door. If someone is unable to see or read the pricing, just ask the staff. They will gladly assist you. Thank you Dough Joy for your awesome doughnuts!
