Created by Joanna Espinel, a self-proclaimed vegan with a sweet tooth, Delish vegan doughnuts are so popular that they sell out every day — top tip: get there early or reserve them online several days in advance!
The flavours change regularly — PBJ is my favourite at the moment (peanut butter jelly) I also love the intense chocolate with smoked sea salt and pistachios; very sophisticated — like me, lol!
Other flavours included the raspberry "Homer", blackberry chocolate, and a classic glazed doughnut. The stuffed hole-less varieties, known as "Berliners" in Spain, featured a gingerbread cream, arroz con leche (rice pudding with cinnamon), banana, peanut and Boston cream. Warning: they are huge - doughnuts on steroids!
What else? You can eat in their airy seating area or take out; they have coffees and a variety of juices, and the service is friendly and helpful (I had questions!) They have a few other bakes, too, if you don’t like doughnuts.
