My partner and I stopped in for an impromptu sweet treat for our trip back to Jersey, and what an unexpected sweet experience it was. I?d like to first highlight the exceptional service by Julie and Gabriella, they are both so warm and welcoming, making a point to add a little positivity to your day. As we were leaving, they gifted us with an additional apple fritter and cinnamon bun! I can?t say enough about how fresh and subtly sweet these donuts were. They were as homemade as homemade gets. Nothing abou
Wonderful shop we'd really enjoyed visiting today. Very tasty treats to be had inside. Friendly staff and a clean facility. I really wanted a Boston Creme Pie doughnut, but unfortunately they are only available on the weekend. Sad face because we were there on a Monday. We will just have to return again to this area again one day. They had toliets and free WiFi.
Simply some of the best doughnuts I've ever had. Every flavor, and we tried nearly all of them, was spot on. The perfect blend of sweet, fluffy, and fresh. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. We drove about an hour and a half to get doughnuts from here, and it was worth every minute! I highly recommend visiting if you are in the area, or making a trip just for these amazing doughnuts.
These donuts are incredible! I?m not a huge fan of sweets but they have such a perfect balance of the dough with just the right amount of sugar. Not sickly sweet. Texture of the dough is awesome! Huge fan of the cinnamon sugar. Just recently grabbed a dozen to take to my employees on a recent Saturday shift and they all raved about them and were so shocked they were vegan! I also love that they have delicious gluten free options. We used to have one GF person and I could make sure everyone was able to be tr
if you're in or passing through black mountain you shouldn't miss these donuts they are the flakiest, fluffiest, most delicious donuts, fried to perfection! we got a dozen to take home with us on our trip and every flavor was wonderful. the peach glaze and chocolate glaze were my favorite, the caramel coconut and mango glaze were my hunnies favs. also the ladies who run the place are exceptional humans kind hearted and lovely like no other! support their local business doing good for the animals! so much lo
I have visited this place a couple of times both by myself and with my non-vegan nieces and nephews and I love it here. A very friendly team who are kind and considerate. My nieces and nephews love the place even though they are super picky and not vegan. My favorite options are the apple fritter, the maple donut, and the donut holes which are gluten free. Just an all around great place, please give them a try!
We tried a Chocolate Espresso Doughnut and an Apple Fritter today, spectacular! We will be going back in soon. Staff was very friendly and conversation was great. 10/10 recommend ??
These doughnuts are BY FAR the best in the Asheville area!! For someone with Celiac?s, it can be hard to find gluten free that feel like real doughnuts but these are out of this world DELICIOUS ?? They are well portioned and made to order. The staff is incredible, kind, and generous? they embody the good people of WNC in one small, local shop. We love supporting this family business ?? The gluten free are pictured in the glazed 4-pack below (vanilla, apple cider, and maplex2) My husband got the regular do
I stop by whenever I can! The doughnuts and other goodies are amazing and the staff are all so sweet! I'm vegan but even my non-vegan friends love the doughnuts. I also follow them on Instagram so I can see menu changes---they have a lot of great seasonal items! :)
Have been here several times. Regular donuts are great. The gluten free donuts are so dense and heavy though, they are a bit much for me. Almost like raw dough consistency. Great coffee!!
Really really good just so fresh and soft and melt in the mouth. Sometimes I feel like donut places are doing way too much weird trendy unusual flavors and this is just the classics done perfectly. I am eight months pregnant and desperately wanted a Boston cream donut so the lady offered to give me a little side cup of the cream filling to go with my chocolate donut since they were out. So thoughtful and so delicious! My husband had the spiced apple donut and the glaze was definitely made with fresh apple c
Finally got a chance to try Dough House donuts on during my trip to Black Mountain TWICE. I got nice warm vanilla donuts. Ate 2 of them in the car! Best donuts I?ve ever had. Love all the vegan options. Customer service is A+! Get there early, they sell out fast.
Incredible vegan doughnuts! I kinda planned a trip from Chattanooga to Asheville to try out this spot and it was well worth it. Julie was so kind and welcoming, shared all about the menu with me. I ended up leaving with a half dozen amazing doughnuts. They were all so good, but the chocolate caramel coconut was my favorite. Amazing food and service!
The unique flavors of the doughnuts are OUT OF THIS WORLD! We tried the maple "bacon" & mango-rita, wow! They are so flavorful & quirky! We also had a cinnamon roll which was perfectly soft & gooey! I cant wait to come back for more!
Wow!!! I got the gluten free vanilla glazed donut holes and they were outstanding! Next time I come, they let me know that I can call ahead to preorder any of the specialty donuts to be gluten free. Can?t wait to try more!
We used to love their gluten free donuts. Just tried the new version, and unfortunately, they are a disappointment. Gummy, no crumb at all, almost wet inside, and the flavor is off. As an avid gluten/dairy free baker, I was shocked at the dropped standard. If ya?ll do rework the recipe, we?ll definitely be back to try again!
Run, don't walk, to dough house. Best new donuts on the block, hot and made to order, and 100% vegan. Sweet staff, and sweet flavors to choose from (don't know which is sweeter, the people or the flavors) including Chai, Chocolate, and usually a daily special (today's was birthday cake!) Highly highly recommend! Update: Still amazing. Still best vegan donuts i?ve ever had.
cute little store offering fully vegan donuts & coffee! we got a box of 1/2 dozen donuts. some of the flavors we got that i remember: chocolate espresso, chocolate caramel coconut, chocolate raspberry. everything was so yummy! ????
Dough House is phenomenal! Finding made-to-order, fresh vegan donuts is amazing and especially when they come in so many flavors. I came here for my birthday and ordered a dozen of their square donuts. I especially enjoyed the one with strawberry and matcha, chocolate and coconut bacon, and mango and strawberry. If you?re stopping in Asheville, this place is worth a little extra driving!
I did not know I needed a green apple doughnut in my life! Love this place - we try to stop by every time we drive through Black Mountain. The best doughnuts, creative special flavors -and all vegan ??
Got some doughnuts while waiting on line at Blue Ridge Biscuit, they did not disappoint. Eat them while they?re hot! The original glaze fills your mouth and the outside is a bit crunchy. The raspberry glaze is amazing and elderberry jam is the best! We went back to see where they got the jam from. Check them out
Absolutely delicious doughnuts! Can?t even tell they are vegan! Always hot and fresh and PERFECT! I could seriously eat these doughnuts all day every day.
I love this place. These are the best doughnuts I?ve ever had and vegan as well. They?re delicious and I?m in love. Thank you dough nut gods for blessing the sweet people of dough house for making the sweetest doughnuts. Now I will go and continue to eat the rest of these with the lack of self control I have.
These are the most delicious doughnuts/pastries I?ve ever had, vegan or not. You can?t go wrong here, but definitely make sure to get the Boston creme doughnut, a hot knot, and a bread pudding ?? the team here also just happen to be the nicest people on the planet ?? hands down one of the best doughnut places ever!!!
Very good Gluten Free/Vegan donuts! I haven?t had a donut in so long due to dietary restrictions! Everyone in there were so friendly! The strawberry glaze tasted like fresh strawberry jam, highly recommend especially for anyone with dietary restrictions!
In love with this place. Me and my family are gluten free, and have tried multiple gluten free dedicated bakeries and their donuts. Compared to Dough Houses donuts, they not only fall short, but are straight up pathetic. I repeat, the gluten free donuts at Dough House are phenomenal. The staff are very kind and easy to work with, and the prices are the same as the wheat ones. Will come again!
The staff here are the nicest and the donuts are huge with really good glazes. My favorite was the strawberry, it was clearly made with real fruit and tasted like fresh jam. As for the texture of the donuts, they?re nice and cakey. They are made fresh but IMO, they?re actually better after they?ve sat and cooled for a while.
Let me tell u. Oh my God these donuts were so good I pulled over and ate them. The different flavors were fun and treats awesome. The service was fast and friendly.
Cute space, super friendly staff and best of all absolutely amazing donuts! Would recommend to everyone! Not from the area but we will definitely come back just for this place!
If I could give zero stars, I would. It looked promising and had lots of good reviews, but the doughnut was cold. They?re supposed to be made to order and fresh but I know for a fact that it wasn?t. I paid $4.00 for ONE doughnut!! I don?t mind paying if it?s worth it, but this one for sure wasn?t. The dough was dense and heavy. Not light and airy as a yeast donut should taste. I had high hopes but my overall experience is that this donut was nasty. Just not what I expected, totally don?t recommend. Update
We stopped for gluten feee donuts on our way out of Asheville and they were so good!! Definitely stop. Parking is weird but worth it.
I came here to pick up donuts for a group of friends, and they were amazing!! I was able to split the dozen between regular and gluten free (because they?re made fresh to order) and they were all delicious. My dairy- and gluten-free friend was near tears with happiness, since they haven?t been able to eat a fresh donut in years. I live on the opposite side of town, and I?ll still drive there just for these amazing donuts.
Delicious vegan donuts in a cute spot! The folks working there were super friendly and made good recommendations : ) I forgot to snap a pic before we dug in, but the donuts were so good! They?re made to order?nothing beats a box of warm donuts in your lap!
Very friendly staff. Doughnuts were AMAZING. All vegan! Hot, fresh, and delicious. Seriously melt in your mouth.
some of the best donuts I?ve had! finding good vegan donuts is especially hard, these were amazing! super friendly staff too
Best GF doughnuts ever! No question. Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside. Delicious glaze. Perfection.
Dough House is truly a hidden gem in Black Mountain NC. My partner and I are both Celiacs so finding GF donuts is a struggle. We came here a year ago and enjoyed the best gluten free donuts we?ve ever had. This past weekend we came back for more and due to complications from Hurricane Helene they?ve had to re-work their gluten free donut options & had to temporarily take them off of their menu. When they heard that we came from Carrboro, they gave us complimentary gf donuts that were AMAZING!! We spoke to o
We stopped here in May and loved it! Great doughnuts, fun flavors.
Wow! I had the best donut of my life here, the chocolate caramel coconut. Our whole family loves this place. Absolutely delicious. Just be aware they only stay open until they sell out, so get there early. You can also call ahead and have them put a few aside for you. Every time we bought here, they were still warm and gooey. Don't miss this place!
These donuts were unbelievably delicious! My wife and I were blown away by their flavor, texture and freshness. We have been big fans for years of a competing donut shop in AVL but these we both agree might just be better!
The doughnuts are sooo yummy! Service is excellent, Julie was especially kind this morning. Our go-to doughnut shop, they are vegan too.
Always incredible, all the time. I visit at least once a week and their rotating specials are to die for. Lovely people and great service, super cute atmosphere. Couldn?t recommend it more.
When I can, I make the trip to get some gluten free doughnuts! They always have wonderful flavors and the staff are amazing
MUST TRY donuts! It was a pleasure chatting with the friendly owner as we made our selections. The apple fritters and the Bavarian filled donuts were to die for
Delicious. The fruit flavors are way better than in any other donut I?ve ever had. Only thing that would make it better would be a yeastier taste (nooch drizzle?) and a little more salt in the dough.
I love this place so much! I went in today and met the new owners and they are so sweet! The donuts are delicious and the space is as cute as ever.
Great donuts- Reminds me of New Orleans beignets! Good gluten free donut holes also
Amazing doughnuts! I got a dozen so I could try all the great flavor combinations. They are so good even the next day ?? and they reheat well!
A very warm and welcoming place. The staff were very patient and kind and they had interesting books for you to look at as they prepared your food. Donuts had a wonderful soft center yet crunchy exterior.
Both our coffees tasted burnt but the cinnamon sugar donuts are delicious! Cute decor
An unassuming shop but DO NOT sleep on there donuts. Choose your style and topping and they are fresh made and delicious. They have soft fluffy texture and a very sticky glaze. Slightly light on the toppings but they're not what makes these donuts special
This is quite literally the best donuts I've ever had; nothing comes close to comparison in my mind. The owner was extremely nice and friendly and even gifted me and my partner a few extra donuts for my birthday!!! I really hope this place continues to grow in abundance and puts smiles on a thousand more faces the way it did with us!
Incredible. Amazing. Absolutely UNREAL. Stopped here before our way back home on a road trip and eating these donuts was an out-of-body experience. The donuts were warm because they?re all made fresh, perfectly crisp on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside, and ABSOLUTELY delicious. The texture inside is like fresh sourdough. I got the savory spicy garlic butter donut as well and I?m still dreaming about it a month later. I can?t wait to go back to Black Mountain and eat these donuts. The flavor is
I don?t even know what to say! These things were warm, thick, doughy, crispy, tasty masterpieces! This place might just be donut heaven! ????
This place rules. Friendly staff. Quick service, unique donuts. Their selection of allergy free and vegan options is equal to the selection of regular donuts. The gluten free garlic butter donut is the most delicious donut I've ever had. It pairs extremely well with a strawberry and mango. So good!
What happened . We got cold doughnuts from the display box. Expected cooked to order like we got before. We won?t be back
they didn?t have any gluten free donuts 30 minutes after opening. maybe they should make more of them? wth. thank goodness the blue ridge biscuit company exists right next door! ETA what a rude response. in case anyone is wondering there are 3 other doughnut companies in AVL with gluten free donuts. Don?t support rude people. Not everyone uses instagram (maybe the rudeness comes from living on the internet).
The yummiest doughnuts. And they are vegan. A doubleness of awesome.
Made to order doughnuts! So many flavors to choose from. I had the chocolate espresso and it was delicious. Doughnuts are warm, fluffy inside with a slightly crunchy exterior. We must try more before we leave this area.
I am vegan. My family is not. They choose these donuts over Krispy Kreme. That is impressive. These are the best! Staff is always helpful and friendly. Service is quick. You have to try their garlic butter donut. I was skeptical at first, but now it's a must every time we come.
I like the doughnuts here, but I've left without food far more often than with food when I've come here because they never make enough food for the published opening hours, doesn't matter if it's a weekday or weekend. I think I've maybe managed to get food here 3 times total, but the last 3 times in a row I've come here resulted in no food, so I'm going to Vortex exclusively from now on because, unlike this place, at least I know if i spend the 20 minutes+gas to go there, I'm for sure leaving with great veg
Holy $#!+. These doughnuts are amazing and easily some of the best I've ever had - vegan or not. Totally worth the price and definitely worth the short wait. Even the coffee was great, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It's really too bad I couldn't box up the entire business and take it home with me.
AMAZINGLY good. As someone with a severe dairy allergy, I?m always on the hunt for good vegan pastries that are not just an afterthought on a menu. Was near Asheville recently for a family reunion and drive over an hour here just to sample these (my family thought I was crazy). Was totally worth the drive! Got a dozen different ones and dug in to them after the hour drive back - though sadly forgot to take a picture beforehand and they were gone too fast. Everyone in the group liked them, even the (extremel
Super cute place with friendly staff and delicious vegan donuts, made to order so they come out hot. My favorites are the strawberry (made with real jam, no fake flavors) and the savory garlic. And the mango tajin during the summer!
After seeing the reviews I wanted to love it. We drove quite a ways to try the donuts. I was super disappointed. They tasted over fried and left a bitter greasy taste. Unfortunately we got several to bring home too and they definitely don?t keep well. A few hours after arriving home I went to eat one of the jam filled ones I had bought but it was so bad I had to toss it and the others. I feel like it was a waste of 25$ for sure. We won?t be back. Also fyi it?s a vegan place which is great but if you are lik
Piping hot donuts that smell and taste divine. The coffee is also really good. Will be back
If you have any sort of condition or a simple preference where you cannot have gluten, this is the place for you! Their made-to-order gluten-free donuts are absolutely delicious! The owners were so kind and considerate. I would recommend the mango glaze!
Best donuts in atleast a 30 miles radius. I was blown away by the garlic donut which I was given some of to try for free! Definitely a great place to visit. Friendly staff too!
Delicious donuts and great coffee. So nice it?s a vegan option!
These donuts were terrible ??. The flavor was not good. The consistency was ??. I had a Gluten free and regular one and it was really expensive and bad. I paid $9 for two small donuts that tasted terrible. please please please refine your recipe because this place is very clean, nice employees, and great vibe. Just terrible product. I am Gluten free and vegan so i am not comparing the flavors to regular. I know this is a bad GF and V donut:(
These are some incredible donuts. I would recommend them to anyone. Maybe the lightest donut I have ever had. Do yourself a favor and get as many Garlic Butter donuts as possible.
Cool little hidden gem for delicious donuts! The fact that they?re vegan is such a nice bonus! A delicious eatery for anyone who loves a creative approach (mango tajin?!) as well as classic favorites like vanilla or chocolate glazed, Boston cream pie, etc.
Donut let the vegan fool you: these are Hands down the best donuts in WNC! The staff is so kind and accommodating, and the donuts are fresh made, hot and huge! Amazing selection of seasonal flavors made from real ingredients. We?re so lucky to have this spot in black mountain!
Holy wow this is one of the most amazing donut places complete with made to order vegan donuts! Donuts have never tasted so fresh! We will be back!
Best donuts we've ever had! The cashier taking our order made it very easy to know which ones were gluten safe and helped with great flavor recommendations!
Cute space run by nice folks. The donuts were good, but more of a zepole than a donut to me. The espresso-glazed donut was particularly good. They were clearly made fresh, as they were hot when I got them.
Stopped by here on a recommendation. YOU WILL NOT REGRET. If you have the time or efforts, definitely go. Ordered a cinnamon and sugar donut and the staff was super sweet to give us two. We don?t love donuts, but these were fantastic. Made to order, how could you say no?
Friendly is the word, as we stopped at Dough House. We saw the Chefess top each of our doughnuts while our beverage was prepared. Outside at a table (nice day) we tasted our purchase. They were wonderful! Light, no hint of grease, flavorful doughnut and warm soft topping. Wonderful! My Expresso Chocolate was gone, and so was my Cinnamon before I could take a photo. So I got two more to show.
These donuts are delicious. Best I've had, hands down, since discovering my dairy allergy. Maybe the best donuts I've ever had, dairy free or not. My favorite are the glazed and the strawberry glazed. Staff are friendly too!
lovely little nook right on the outskirts of downtown. each donut is dropped fresh so it?s worth waiting a couple minutes. plus they offer coffee drinks (both drip and espresso) so you can have a cup while you wait for your goodies. so nice to have a vegan pastry in black mtn. give them a visit next time you?re in the mood for a treat!
i?m not even vegan, but these donuts are amazing! Best donuts I?ve ever had. I?ll never go to Dunkin again. Randomly tried it got the cinnamon and sugar doughnut and it?s just so good it?s served hot and fresh and the crust has like a tiny crunch to it, it?s just fantastic!!
What a treat! A shop that doesn?t make you pay extra for gluten free!!!!! Finding a good gluten free donut is a rare treat. We popped in to grab coffee and this sweet dainty before going on a light hike. Dough House wasn?t phased by our large family logistics. We got one gf and the rest were vegan gluten doughnuts. They were snarfed up quickly and our two dogs were insanely jealous. Oh bonus: they use gooooooddddd Oatmilk to make lattes! We?d return again!
Delicious, flavorful donuts! The staff are very sweet and the decor is fun. I got a dozen and each one was soooo good! I love that they?re all vegan too, because I?m non-dairy so they?re all fair game! Can?t wait to go back.
Very few complaints. Actually, none. These donuts are hand crafted by a select team of beautiful,talented, wonderfully understanding and uniquely underestimated individuals. If you haven't had the chance to bite into one of these gluten free/delicious regardless pastries just do yourself a favor and get a dozen. 10 stars would be better. Dunkin donuts is gross, eat donuts with alot of love in them from dough house. 1000000/10????
Best gluten free donuts in town. Tried every single place. Call ahead and they will have as many as you need set aside for you.
This is my go to Saturday morning donut place and I'm not even vegan. The donuts are always fresh and hot. The customer service is amazing too.
Yum Yum Yum!! Big doughnuts - I only ate 1/2. Saved the rest for later. Hubby got glazed and I got the one with cinnamon and sugar. Both delish!! Unfortunately we just bought a home we are rehabbing just down the way from this place?? I?m afraid we might be there more often than we should! Can?t wait to share some with our hard working crew :)
Amazing vegan doughnuts! I love that they are fried to order so they were hot and delicious when I got them. All the employees are friendly! I wish they were open a little later so I could eat more doughnuts!
