Such an incredible shop. An invaluable resource for Buffalo communities to have delicious and creative treats. I cant decide if I like the doughnuts or pizza more, but they definitely have some of the best vegan pizzas in the city!

Fry Baby is everything you want in a vegan donut shop!Theyve got a huge variety of flavors from exotic to classic like glazed. The donuts are yeasty, fluffy, and oh so delicious. They also are always trying new things and depending on the day will have different specials like cronuts, cinnamon rolls, croissants, etc. They serve great coffee to go with as well. Plus the donuts are only $2 which is so affordable for vegan donuts.Also they have pizza! You can get it by the slice or order a whole pizza. Its so tasty and they do not skim on the vegan cheese!!!Love this place and come here as often as I can. Only downside is their hours which are kinda limited. They sell out quick too so make sure to plan to go in the morning!

Cute shop, which we passed by so many times without realizing they have pizza with interesting toppings and fresh donuts...! Actually it looks kinda scary from the outside but then its amazing inside. Like their chocolate cinnamon bun.

Cant explain to you what a vegan donut is. All I knew is I wanted dessert and to try something new while supporting a local business. Oh my GOODness! I enjoyed one of the most delicious apple fritters I have ever consumed. My son had a donut with a berry frosting that he said tasted like eating fresh berries. The small storefront was clean and the service delightful. Not only were they quick and efficient, but the conversation was good and they were kind. If you have not tried product from this place, we highly suggest you add it to your list.

The donuts, cronuts, and pizza are all delicious. I have absolutely no idea how they do it. I am not vegan and probably would not have given this place a try had it not been on my donut tour a few years ago, but Im now a regular. Their food isnt good vegan food, it is just good food, full stop.

I love this place! You would never know that everything on the menu is vegan...its just absolutely tasty! Donut flavors change up weekly and theyre soft, fluffy, and not too sweet. Extremely enjoyable. Dont pass this place up!

Ordered a buffalo chicken pizza - the veggie chicken was plain, there was no buffalo sauce on it, and the sauce that was on the pizza was...dill sauce??? The sauce and cheese replacement was also really sticky/gooey. We had to drown the whole pizza in hot sauce at home for it to taste even like buffalo chicken and we still didnt enjoy it at all.We do, however, enjoy the donuts a lot. So, come for the donuts, not the pizza, I guess.

My partner got to try a donut for the first time in his adult life because of this place (dairy and nut allergy). It was a really cute thing to see so im super grateful. As someone who has lived on non vegan donuts these taste just like regular donuts and Ill keep going here! The staff is kind and the price is good.

This is a hidden gem in Buffalo - its location may be surprising since it seems like a place a donut shop wouldnt be, but its close enough to downtown that it makes sense. The outside sign is an adorable sprinkle festooned pastel beauty, and so is the inside. The donuts are vegan but dont let that scare you - they are satisfying and full of flavor. I recently had a cronut and it was mind blowing. They have very unique artisan flavors, and you never know what to expect day to day. I highly recommend you head down there (early so they dont ruj out of a flavor on you!) and check them out. Try not to pick up a dozen. I dare you.

Really great donut shop with lots of delicious flavours that rotate. Tried the apple fritter and the chocolate/ chocolate filled and both were really good. Check the hours beforehand as it’s only open 3 days a week.

Best friggin vegan donuts ever. The size of the donuts are excellent for the price. Perfect w/ a damn fine cup of coffee. The apple fritters blow me away. If you *love* chewy yeasty donuts // or a fan of donuts: this is your heaven.

Such a sweet place!! Vegan donut shop with amazing flavors and unique creations. Definitely get there early or call ahead to see what they have left for the day. Hours are limited, but that makes this place even more special. So grateful to have this gem locally right in Buffalo for our community to enjoy. Try it out for yourself, you wont be disappointed. Best donuts out there!!

This place is absolutely amazing! The girl at the counter was such a doll when dealing with my sons allergies. She even ran out of the store to catch us at our car to tell us there was gluten in our donuts. Luckily he can have gluten but what an exceptional job from that employee.

Review №45

Absolutely LOVE their donuts!!! I went midday and they still had a lot left and a variety to choose from. When I went a bit later in the day the selection was not as great so I would suggest getting there early so you can have more of a choice. This is in no way a knock on the place. I totally understand that what they make for the day is what they have. I think that is what makes their donuts so good, is that they are FRESH!!! We have tried several different kinds and have enjoyed each one. Even my father who is not a vegan couldnt tell the difference.

Review №46

Magical vegan donuts! The maple bacon cream donut is mind blowing. As a tough food critic I’ll add the texture is perfect, the oil saturation is minimal, and the sugar content is balanced - not overly sweet.

Review №47

I have been here a few times while working downtown and have never had the same donut twice. They are only open Thursday - Saturday so you have to catch them when you can. I would come during lunch and it would be semi busy but the staff worked the lines well. They do a great job with testing out different flavors you wouldnt expect. Ive tried about 10 donuts total, and they were all so good. At $2 a donut I suggest trying one of these sweet round VEGAN pieces of heaven!

If its your only option for enjoying donuts, then you cant wrong! Even if its not, its worth checking them out at least one. I had the Peach-iced, Chocolate-iced, and a Glazed donut. All were tasty! Donuts run $2 each.

If youre driving by and see a line, youre at the right place- Fry Baby Donuts. Its a tiny donut shop that makes specialty donuts every morning for $2 per donut. They have chocolate glazed, birthday cake, fruity pebbles, and many other flavors. If you need coffee, they serve drip coffee too!My wife and I ordered the fruity pebble donut and the chocolate donut. They both were good, but not the best weve ever had. They both were intensely sweet.Still, if you love donuts, its worth a visit when in Buffalo.

Review №50

Went there because my nephew is basically allergic to everything under the sun. My sister always feels horrible because of this and my older 5 year old nephew the oldest of her 2 kids doesnt get to eat a lot of thing he use to because he doesnt want to make his brother upset if he is eating something and cant share. The woman shared her experience with us about hows her brother is allergic to many things as well which is why they put so much effort into what they do. What melted our hearts was how after we paid and were getting into the car the woman runs out of the store and asks to see if my nephew was allergic to gluten. Just that experience and customer service alone was worth the visit. The doughnuts were incredible and you could taste the love put into them.

I grew up with donuts (my dad sold them) and so Ive had my fare share. I am not vegan (nor vegetarian) but these donuts are beyond delicious. I think what makes them extra special are the natural/fresh fruit flavors, etc. And unique flavors. Awesome!

Review №56

Have had their donuts a few times, and Ive not been disappointed! There is a taste thats different to other traditional donuts vs vegan, but its nothing noticeable if youre not thinking about it. I love the crazy flavors that come up with, but wish that they were open more days of the week! Its so hard to get in sometimes. Also, the woman who waited on me was a little quick to get me out the door it seemed, but thats my only complaint.

I love fry baby donuts!!!! Theyre so so good. Tons of really interesting flavors that change weekly. Weve had to go early to make sure they dont run out of the special rotating donuts because they sell out! Theyre not open a super ton of hours and its not super cheap but its so worth it. I have to stop myself from going every week. And the donuts are vegan which is awesome. Check their Facebook for the donuts of the week.

Review №60

Ive been twice, and the first time the lady behind the counter was very nice, but she was rude and impatient the second time. Apparently they often change the menu, and youre just supposed to magically divine that, without any signage. So if you like a specific flavor, too bad. You have to go online beforehand and see what flavors they will have available. The reason I still gave them four stars is because their donuts are so good, a year later Im still dreaming of them. I heard they closed down though? I think theres another location in...Rochester? The buffalo store is a little hole in the wall, but I was able to find street parking.

Review №61

I could smell them as I walked up and my excitement grew for this was my first time there. Being my first time, I thought it only fitting to try every flavor. Each and every one was delicious! You would never know they were vegan and my non-vegan family members loved them too! Great job!

Review №64

When you arrive, you will see 3 doors, use entrance door all the way to left. Vegan donuts are my new favorite and I dont care for donuts. 1 dozen will cost $22.oo and worth it. 1 dozen donuts feels alot lighter from fry baby than most dozen donuts. You can purchase 1/2 dozen for $11.oo. Interesting flavors that wished you grabbed more. Follow on their Instagram for daily/weekly flavors~

Review №82

Fry Baby went from fantastic to awful in just a couple months. When Fry Baby first opened they were truly great, now they are simply terrible. They regularly close before their posted time without warning, their selection went from robust and creative to repetitive and narrow. This week takes the proverbial cake, a single note written on their window apologizing to their customers while they take a week off to plan. If thats not enough of a problem, their automated phone system is still giving their regular hours, claiming to be OPEN! So, when I called this morning to be sure they were open, their VM stated they were, in fact, open until 6PM. I arrived with my family at 2:15 PM to the aforementioned note. So, Im done with Fry Baby, and Im going to be certain that everyone knows about this experience. Sorry guys, you just have put the final nail in the coffin.

I traveled 1/2 hour and crossed an international border to try here after being told about this place. I was not disappointed !!!! OMG they have the best fritter I have ever had. They are so well prepared with different textures in the dough and large apple pieces. Next is the Cronut, what a unique experience crisp outer buttery flaky interior. Their product is magnificent and really show how the donut chains have us trained to accept mediocrity. Lastly hands off to spirit of starting a unique small business in the area. We should all support them

Found this place on Google because it was near my AirBnB. Its a hole in the wall but the donuts are out of this world! Their cinnamon rolls puts Dunkin Donuts coffee rolls to shame. But their coffee is Meh. If you come be sure to do it early. From the minute they open people buy up dozens of donuts so they run out fast.
