Dough Joy — Restaurant in Seattle

The best donut experience! I heard about Doughjoy through a gluten free Seattle Facebook group and am so glad I did! The staff was so sweet and so friendly, the atmosphere is absolutely adorable and those donuts are so so cute! They are vegan too, which is great for people who have both gluten sensitivities and also dairy, which can be tough to accommodate both. They have the regular donuts in a little display area at the front, but they keep the gluten free ones behind so they stay away from the gluten ones. I got several of the GF for myself, and then a dozen of the regular to bring to my work and my coworkers were all obsessing over them! I loved the GF ones so much, they had a great variety of flavors and it was nice to see ones other than just your typical powdered or chocolate. The lemon was delicious!!!! I let the staff pick the dozen for my work, and they selected a perfect assortment, and even explained to me what they were so I could tell my coworkers. They also included a donut in the dozen that they said the proceeds were going towards a local black owned business. The owners are super active on socials and seem like such nice people. The staff seemed genuinely happy to work there! There is a little parking lot next to then Capitol Hill location, but also a few garages around as well. Thank you Doughjoy for bringing me some serious joy! Photo attached is of regular gluten donuts, the GF are a bit more...

Dough joy not only offers the best allergy friendly doughnuts but continues to deliver the fun atmosphere and top notch service to their guests. Are the doughnuts 4 dollars? Yes. Are they also vegan? Yes again. Can you go just anywhere to get an animal free, nut free, unique product? No, you can not. Whether the flavor of the dough be similar to that of another store, the product itself is not the same. If you are blessed enough to eat dairy, soy, nuts, gluten, then by all means, go get THAT donut girl! THESE donuts at Dough Joy are for people who wish to enjoy life the same way any other human can enjoy a nice treat but without the worry. These donuts are for people who understand how hard it is to run a small business and put everything they have into it to make it successful. Lastly, these donuts are for people who celebrate and support pride and the LGBTQIA+ community. You are paying for service, quality, convenience, and kindness. I can assure you, will you not only get to enjoy the many unique flavors that Dough joy brings to the table, but you will feel the love that goes into their products and customers. They have added so many tasty new drinks as well. Thank you for always going above and beyond for your guests, and the 2 extra donuts you threw into...

BUYER BEWARE... you will never want donuts from anywhere else again. To simply compare Dough Joy to other vegan donuts isn't doing it a shred of justice. As an almost 3-year vegan, I can't recall any time before this when I was this taken even by a non-vegan donut shop. Dough Joy isn't afraid to experiment with their confectionery, crafting interesting and innovative icings other donut shops dare only muse about, and they do it well. They also have mainstays when you just want something more comfortable, like the "Basic B" (essentially a vegan crispy creme), chocolate, or strawberry. The rotating flavors sometimes create this sort of "FOMO", which may be intentional or just a caveat of the rotating menu. But it also keeps things interesting and a sure treat for adventurous eaters. One way or the other, the same base dough is reliably fluffy and decadent to the last bite. Take your non-vegan friends or family here, then prepare for the surprised reactions after they experience the potential of the future of plant-based food when they say...
