We got a dozen donuts from here and they were all amazing! The raspberry filled was one of the best I’ve ever had. The cake was perfect and not the sickly sweet artificial taste that you can sometimes get. The cake donuts were also great and moist! Love that they’re organic and local!

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.

Great place with sweet, efficient staff and delicious donuts. I highly recommend grabbing a variety of a dozen or more and sharing with co-workers. It cost about $30 and it made our day! Every flavor was awesome and the cake-like texture was moist. Yum 😋

Loveeeee this place when we have a chance to stop and are in the area. A must is just a plain cake donut. Perfectly crispy and not terribly sweet.

Im really disappointment with the Donut Farm. I woke up early this morning just to make sure I was there when the shop opened up so I could get a fresh donut. When I got there, I was poorly greeted by the attendant. She exhibited poor, discourteous behavior. For instance, she wasnt attentive, never making any eye contact, and keeping her back to me while mumbling. She then mumbled under her breath. I couldnt hear her because her tone was so low and her back was facing me. So, I asked her to repeat what she said. She seemed agitated and loudly enunciated, What. Would. You. Like? I requested the Top Shelf maple donut. She grabbed it out of the shelf and tossed it into a bag. When I got home, I found that the donut was tossed into the bag with the icing facing down. So, I had to peel it out of the bag, leaving layers of icing behind.Furthermore, after mishandling the donut, she stated, 3.50. I placed my card down on the card reader. The tablet was behind the protective screen, so she had to fill in the rest of the information. She loudly stated, Just tell me what you want. Naturally, I didnt give her a tip. She then mumbled something under her breath. I couldnt make out what she said.I thought that perhaps she was having a bad day, so I continued to be polite and thanked her for her service while she was walking away. She didnt verbally respond, but instead (with her back toward me) held up a peace sign.The very poor and insensitive service really rubbed me the wrong way. She was my first interaction of the day, and it set the tone for just a bad day for me.Moreover, after I peeled the donut from the bag, I took a bite. It was really stale. I threw the rest away.Before I went to the Donut Farm, I did read the reviews and found some one and two star reviews. Still, I thought I would give it a try. But, the poor reviews were right.If I were you, I would NOT go to this establishment. I spent half an hour walking back and forth to the Donut Farm. Its not even worth a minutes walk. Save your money and your time.

I came here with a co-worker just before Covid. We got a box of dozen to share with our office plus a couple extra for us. The only visible staff member was helpful and patient while we decided on which donuts to get. The donuts obviously arent cheap but theyre all interesting flavors and pretty hearty. Parking was easy enough on the main street.

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.

I bought the Mexican hot chocolate and orange creamsicle for breakfast. The flavors were great, but the donuts were too cakey and dense for my preference.

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.

This is my wifes favorite donut shop. Their apple fritters are available during weekends and are delicious. The Philz Coffee donuts are also delicious. Be sure to order in half or full dozen increments if you can, there is a price break ordering this way vs ordering individual donuts.

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.

They have a strict code of conduct to ensure the donuts are free ranged and have a good life. The wife and I came to Donut Farm last Thursday and we were served a donut named Rosie, she was an adorable donut that liked playing in the sun and taking frosting bathes outside. We asked that she be stunned before being thrown in the fryer so her tortured screams wouldn’t upset our nice meal.

Review №15

Unfortunately, I apparently went on a day they hadnt 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.

FIVE STARS for the vegan donuts! These were some of the best vegan donuts Ive ever had. TWO STARS for the service. I went every day for three days, but didnt 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.

Delicious cakey doughnuts. The whiskey version was a plain style vanilla donut with a whiskey frosting and the cinnamon chocolate was flavorful all the way through. Highly recommend!

Amazing Vegan Donuts!!! The cake donuts are super moist, flavorful, and beautiful to look at! They have seasonal flavors that dont disappoint and the classics are always good in my book. Service is great as everyone is super-friendly and chill. My favorite donut shop in the east bay by far!

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. 👀

Best donuts in all of Oakland. I came in at 2 am and they were bringing out a fresh batch of the apple fritters so you know this place keeps their donuts fresh.

Review №22

Extremely poor customer service. They apparently now close at 2pm and they havent 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, thats not my problem. Unacceptable customer service especially when you are selling $4 donuts.

Review №24

My go-to and favorite vegan donut shop in East Bay. Quality of the donuts are consistent no matter the year (I recommend trying one of the seasonal donuts on your visit). My personal favorites are the tea flavors (e.g green tea, lavender, earl grey) Also, it’s advised to come earlier in the day as they run out of options close to closing time!

Very attentive staff and safe ordering system allowing one group in shop at a time. Come early or expect a long wait during weekend. We arrived just before 10am and waited 20-30 min for full order including hot food to be fulfilled.But so worrth the wait and helps that all patrons are respectfully patient for this small but mighty operations team.Besides the donuts, unsuspecting Damn good coffee and the tastiestchikken nuggets on their brunch menu.

The fritter was super but all other donuts are dense spheres with pasty frosting that makes them specially flavored for their names. The lady helping me was very very nice but her manager didnt seem the same :/ I like the punkiness though and will probably go there again.

The is a great vegan breakfast and brunch place with amazing vegan donuts! My boyfriend and I made a purposeful detour just to get the donuts, and we were not disappointed. They have top shelf and classic donuts, but everything is delicious.They also serve brunch items of a menu, but the place is small, so expect a little bit of wait on busy mornings.Also, my boyfriend says the coffee is kick-ass and couldnt stop raving about it, and hes really picky about it.

Best vegan donuts ever. You would never know they are vegan. I like the glazed traditional donuts the best, and the jelly filled donuts as well. All organic, fair trade, responsibly obtained ingredients is pretty cool of them to achieve. I go here every weekend. Thanks guys!

I want to love this place so bad. The donuts are amazing however every SINGLE time I go they are usually out of something. I usually go first thing in the morning when I get off work around 9-9:30am and either the chef hasn’t come yet or there’s no produce or something else. Today when I arrived again, no tomato’s for pico AND the tables were filthy with old food on every single table. All I’m saying is do better donut farm. Do better 🙁

Review №47

Never had brunch or lunch there but my friends and I all LOVE their vegan donuts, have for years. Weve even converted a few skeptics (that think negatively of vegan baked goods). There citrus fruit based glazes are our favorites though there are so many delicious flavors to choose from my Saturday group usually gets a sampler of twelve donuts then cuts them into slices so everyone can have a bite or two of each flavor we get.

I will go out of my way to get their tofu burger which I believe they only serve on their lunch menu. It is absolutely delicious. Also really love the pesto tofu scramble which comes with the freshest crunchiest hash browns! The doughnuts are also completely scrumptious.

Those $3+ each organic donuts from that food cart at the SF Ferry building come from here. In addition to selling donuts (duh), this restaurant serves real food too - brunch and lunch!They had a special one morning of organic vegan pancakes with syrup made from candy cap mushrooms... amazing! Best syrup Ive ever had (not too sweet or sticky, kind of a lightweight version of maple syrup). My friends organic tofu scramble was also good, but not as good as those pancakes!

Review №51

This is my neighborhood spot and its amazing. The coffee and donuts are bomb, the weekend menu kicks ass and includes more pastries not offered during the week like fritters. Im lucky I also work near by and can take advantage of the weekday lunch options because they are killer. Protip: they now have an app to order through.

Review №53

One of the weirder breakfast experiences I’ve had. We were seated quickly on a Sunday morning - we should have known it was too good to be true. Each thing we tried to order they unapologetically said they were out of. We finally ordered a donut and two iced coffees. She brought the donut to the table in a bag. We asked if we could have it to stay - we were seated at a table after all, to which she replied “I didn’t have a plate so I just put it there,” and then sullenly walked away. Our iced coffees arrived - with the only type of milk from their long list of options that they weren’t out of. It was basically room temperature water with a bunch of ice and a tiny hint of coffee. We paid and left with the donut - the bag proved a prescient move after all - which was almost edible if you ignored the odd after taste. Then we went to breakfast somewhere else.

Best vegan tofu burger, 🍔 bar none. Came with salad and I got the garlic greens of spinach, kale and collards greens cooked perfectly (I.e. not mushy and overcooked).Unique lavender tea decaf. Great place, closes at 3pm and kitchen at 2:30 for any meals . always the donuts!

Im a new vegetarian excited to explore the world of meat substitutes, so I got the Chickn and Waffles, and it was everything Ive ever wanted in chicken and waffles! The waffle was rich and fluffy, and the Chickn was juicy like the best cuts of dark meat, with perfect, crispy batter. Great coffee too! And out of this world donuts! If you want a great take-your-time, sit-down meal, theres basically no reason not to eat here!!

Review №59

Both the breakfast burrito and my chocolate coconut donut were great, I chose the tofu scramble with avocado & cashew sour cream add-ons.Even the homemade chips were good and I rarely like chips at all.The food wasnt over-seasoned the way so many places are, and all the ingredients tasted very fresh and prepared just right.The place is somewhat small but I got a table with spare room on a Friday lunch rush right away, while also mostly full and very lively with people coming and going steadily for the food, coffe bar, and donuts.The staff were very genuinely friendly and relaxed which put me at ease.This is immediately one of my favorite vegan spots and coffee shops, and it was easy to find street parking just around the corner.

Review №62

Weve been to donut farm numerous times for their delicious vegan donuts. Today my wife decided she wanted to try the brunch. The food was very good but it was difficult waiting nearly an hour for it. What made it especially difficult was watching others that were seated after us receive their food while trying to encourage my 5 year old daughter to hold back her tears. The explanation given was an odd system in their kitchen that has many customers feeling antsy. The food was good enough to merit another visit, but not in the foreseeable future.

The staff at this location are far less enthusiastic and friendly than the staff at the Berkeley location.

Review №71

Best donut shop in East Bay area, serves breakfast & lunch/brunch & just happens to be 100% vegan with the tastiest Buffalo cauliflower around. Deliciously tasty, moist cake donuts, innovative flavors that do not disappoint. My new favorite donut flavor: curry coconut. Open 7 days a week, 7-3 weekdays for breakfast & lunch, 9-3 weekend brunch. Breakfast/brunch favorites include breakfast scrambles with hash browns, chickn & waffles with gravy or syrup. Lunch, try the rueben, buffalo cauliflower with ranch, greens as a platter or side.

Great donuts and vegan food! A small and safe place with laid back environment. the donuts are sugarcrisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, Ive only ordered the burrito with jackfruit (!) which was good, but I look forward to trying all the other dishes, especially the donuts and gravy (!!) This place reminds me of restaurants in Olympia, I will definitely be back!

I didnt realize they do brunch here, I thought it was just donuts. I brought the family around to check it out, & it has very creative and interesting vegan takes on regular breakfast foods. Portion size is decent, good tasting, and reasonable prices. You seat yourself, and pay at the register.Location is so-so, very plain decor, limited seating.

Expected to be bored with these cake donuts. Instead found myself running away lest I buy AND eat a dozen of these tasties. With some inventive flavors, and certainly some TLC to make them great.

Review №87

I wouldnt give this place any stars, but I had to give one at least. I went with a group of 4 because one of us was vegan. There were several things that made this experinece unacceptable. One, we waited at least 30 minutes (or over) to be seated and no one ever came out to notify us of our table. Two, the waiter was very unfriendly and unwelcoming. We asked for some recommendations, from their already small menu. They seemed very unfamiliar with the food. Three, the food took a while to come out and when we had it, it was unappetizing and we were all not impressed. The tofu scrambles were mediocre. The burrito lacked any sort of flavor. The chicken and waffle dish was chewy and a bit cold. Also, there was hardly any gravy. When we finished eating, there was no communication with the staff about our experience. Almost as if they didnt even want to know the truth. We walked away very upset. Vegan food should at least be extra delicious if you are going to overprice simple dishes. Will try, maybe, coming on a weekday. Sandwiches arent too hard to make, right?

Vegan donuts are cool and all but the food is really expensive and I just cant imagine their overhead is that high although I could be wrong. The turnover there is incredible, I never see the same person working their twice and the service is pretty bad. I work at a similar place and am very sympathetic to food service employees but I swear I feel unwelcome there. They always stare at me like I am a stranger who just walked into their living room in a leopard skin thong....

The wait to be seated on Sundays can be long AND non-existent! Our party of four waited 40 minutes. They seated a party of two and a party of three before us. When the wait girl came out to call us, (I think) a couple of her friends walked up to put their name on the list. She grabbed them and crossed their name off (under a couple of other parties of two) and lead them to a table. The least they could do is explain to the other people waiting why the choose to seat people out of order. I know sometimes a two-top is only available and people may be seated out of order, etc. I guess the all the wait-persons vegan brains dont know how to seat parties greater than three or you have to be a friend of an employee or owner to get a seat there. At that point we left and walked to the Actual Cafe and had a fantastic breakfast.
