Vegan Dream Doughnuts

Vegan Dream Doughnuts

Reviews Summary

The vegan doughnuts receive high praise for taste, often described as the best in Atlanta, with unique flavors and fresh ingredients. Many love the juices and soups too. However, frequent complaints cite inconsistent hours, poor communication, and closures despite posted times. Some find the doughnuts expensive or too sweet, while others rave about their quality. Service is hit-or-miss—some encounters are welcoming, others frustrating due to unavailability or rudeness. Calling ahead is recommended, but even then, reliability is questionable. The shop has a loyal following despite operational issues.

Customer Reviews

The donuts were light and airy! ??I bought two and had to circle back around and buy the rest. Customer service was amazing. These donuts are a life time favorite.

Sorry to say this donut was horrible! I could not imagine why anyone would want to eat these. Maybe this was a bad batch I don't know because they have such a good rating. I drove out of my way to come here and was very disappointed. The donut is just so oily it's not even resembling the texture or experience of what eating a traditional donut is like. On top of that it was $3 for one donut which I think is probably reasonable for the amount of doughnuts that they produce but for the quality is ridiculous.

These doughnuts R YUMMY & ADDICTIVE!! ?? Need the fruit doughnuts again!! The Ital sips (soups) & juices & somosas R great too!! The atmosphere is Roots Rastafari & Brotha King Izes is a gem! ?? This shop is an asset to the community!! One Love ~ Positive Vibes ALWAYS!! ?????

When the other reviews say call before going, they're not joking! Showed up around four on a Tuesday but no one was there. Sad to have missed my chance for vegan donuts!

Many complain about the hours of operation. The owner is Rastafarian. In their culture, they don?t believe in the constraints of time. It?s best to call and confirm they?re there rather than asking when they?ll be there or if they?re open at a certain time. The parking isn?t the best, but you can also park at the West End Mall parking lot across the street. I love this place! My absolute favorite donut shop for several years, especially since I have a gluten allergy. There are also soups, gluten-free samos

Just drove 20 minutes to here and it?s closed. Called and he said he would be back at 9:00PM? It?s 6:45PM and online says they close at 7:00PM. Too bad I couldn?t actually rate it for the food.

These vegan doughnuts are amazing there is always different flavors to try. And the fresh juice and teas are unlike any that I've ever tasted. The service and atmosphere makes u want to come back time and time again. But the best part about it all is it's healthy for you yet taste isn't compromised.

Soooooooooo good! Gluten free donuts!!!! I will be happy to give 5 stars again when this business adheres to their business hours. I have driven 30 minutes to this establishment only to find them closed on several occasions. This is the only place where my daughter and I can eat donuts. It's disappointing to both me and her (8 years old).

Terrible customer service! I called prior to arriving and the owner stated that they were open and that he would see me there. Got there within 15mins, called the owner and he stated that he was on the way. Mind you the owner was suppose to be there already. After talking on the phone, he stated that he would be there in another 15 mins. Long story short, the owner never arrived. Do not go here unless you are willing to wait 30mins to an hour or even be stood up.

This place was absolutely amazing! We bought donuts/donut holes and the cucumber lime juices and all was soooo good! The donuts were light, tasty, airy, and just the right amount of sweetness and the cucumber lime juice was fresh! The customer service was A1 and the environment was so welcoming.

PROS: Awesome drinks. I had the strawberry soursop and sea moss one, it tasted like a liquid honeybun. I tried several donuts. My favorite were the glazed donut and the cinnamon roll. I will definitely be back. I returned 3 weeks later and got the strawberry mango and the banana caramel (my new fav) donuts. Along with the donut holes and another strawberry soursop sea moss drink. I also learned that there are different donuts made each day. You can call in advance for them or see what's the donut for the da

They have the best doughnuts I've ever tasted, better than Dunkin Donuts. ??

The Donuts are So incredibly fresh. Soursop peppermint lime tea was blended so well together and perfect amount of sweetness. Not overpowering. I normally have to dilute my drinks a tad but this was the right amount. And open late!! I got a few different types of donuts since it was our first time and they were all good. My only request is that they came labeled. me and my brother didn?t know which was which. We didn?t have allergies so we didn?t care too much. Definitely got a permanent customer. Amazing

Best vegan donuts & Cinnamon rolls. Everything is made fresh &never sits more than a few hours before a newbatch comes out. People usually come & buy in bulk so get there early or call ahead. Juice is made fresh with alkaline water & sweetened with fruit sugar.

At this point, does it matter how good the food is if you're not going to be open when you say you will? I pull up during business hrs as advertised here on Google. I had actually called to see if they had a favorite item of mine. Not even going to mention it. I was told they'd be ready by 7. I pull up around 715. Doors are locked. I call the number not once but twice. Owner picks up and reassures me that he will be open by 8. It is 830. To travel all the way here....for THIS?! We need to do better as bla

First off the donuts and smoothies are wonderful, don't rely on google or calling for the business hours... neither are reliable you have to just drive past and hope they're open lol poor communication and structure i'd suggest getting a baker or two and cashier maybe in high school or someone more reliable or just sell the it to someone who has the skills to create a flow and order otherwise this is just doing the community a true disservice very disappointing I hope our people can do better so we can all

CALL AHEAD. Having an amazing experience here started with a 5 second phone call to make sure they had donuts. Every 1 star review could've been avoided by taking the minute to call. More applicably, these are the greatest donuts I have ever tasted. I tried a banana, strawberry, and cinnamon variety. They were all flawless. I also got a ginger juice with aloe and lime. It was lightly carbonated, with a level of ginger flavor that is unmatched. I left incredibly happy. I went with my girlfriend and we agre

The doughnut ?? were amazing . I will be back . If you want vegan doughnut go here .. they are so delicious ??. Can wait to come back .

Great doughnuts! Great fresh juices! Great soup! The energy in the place is great too.Customer service is always good and the Ital soup of the day is always good. We don't even request a sample anymore we just buy. The 20 minute drive, which could turn into 45 minutes with traffic, has always been worth it.

In a quaint little shop where the doughnuts are sweet, We found a love, gluten-free, a delectable treat. At three dollars each, a price not too steep, But alas, the service did make us weep. Promises made of arrival so near, Yet fifteen times, no doughnuts did appear. Hours late or not at all, the story's the same, Each time a new chapter, yet the plot never came. Google's hours, a facade, merely for show, Our hearts, once enamored, now feel the woe. Inconsistency reigned, a bitter repeat, A waiting game

First time coming and communication is very poor. Store was closed even though their Google hours said something else. The owner told me a time on when they will be open. I come back and another person inside rudely says they are closed. I won?t be back and it sucks because I am all for my people and the high vibes. But.. this wasn?t it, I hope the owner can come to a balance with the times that genuinely will work for them and their supporters. ??

Everytime I go it?s closed. I?m here currently on Tuesday at 7pm, says it?s open but the door is locked and this has happened so many times. Sucks because their donuts are very good

first time coming and the owner gave me a warm welcome and was very nice. the donuts were soft and tasteful. i highly recommend. i will be back! ??

Called TWICE to confirm if they were open was given two different times each call. When I came they were closed and when I called a third time they said they would be in by 6:30. No one ever came. I wasted my time and gas to try these supposed ?great? donuts but apparently the owners can?t be bothered to show up to their own business. As a black man it?s disappointing when you want to support black businesses and they lack professionalism and consideration for their customers. Don?t complain about no one bu

These donuts are shut your mouth, smile for days, amazing!!! We visited when the refill batch was being picked up and mannnn, we are so glad we didn't leave town without them! The donuts are delicious, the people are beautiful and filled with positive energy, and their decor is beautiful. We visited when a musician had stopped by to play the drums for the night and it was hype! Keep up the great work and products! Will definitely return!

Oh my God!! I got a bunch of different donut flavors and every single one of them were amazing!! DEFINITELY TRY THIS PLACE OUT AND ITS HEALTHFUL???? AND THE PRICE ALSO IS AWESOME DIDNT HAVE TO SPEND MUCH ORDERING THROUGH UBER EATS.. Also I called to make sure it was open since I ordered midnight and the man was very respectful, costumer service is great??

Great hidden gem! I went for the first time today and tried the banana-caramel donut, lime-pear donut, and vanilla-pistachio donut. They were all amazing! They serve other things like fresh juice and smoothies too, though I just came for the vegan donuts this time. I recommend this place if you're ever in the area.

Oh-my!!! These donuts are SO damn delicious & addictive. You can't have just one. There's a slight crunk on the outer exterior while the inside is light & pillow-y soft. Best donuts thus far. ????

Went here on December 3rd, 2016 after hearing about it on google. Needless to say, they got some great donuts. This place isn't in a great area and it is a little hard to find (it is around the corner of the store complex). However, the donuts are great. The guy who runs the store was super nice. I tried out one of the vegan cinnamon rolls, needless to say it was legit. Not too many people making vegan donuts, so it is good to see a guy totally nailing it. If you want a lot of donuts though, be sure

These were some of the best doughnuts I?ve ever had (not just vegan, literally favorite overall) Since they make them in small batches fresh every 2 hours they run out quickly. He had to come back twice but it was 100% worth the wait. Definitely call ahead of time to make sure they have some in stock.

Different selection everyday. opens late evening for your after work fix??

First of all, don't go by the hours on Google that say an evening time to midnight because that's not the case. Because we saw a review that said call first, that's what we did each time before trying to get to them. We're from out-of town and tried to go to this donut shop THREE TIMES, calling before each time. Sunday, we called before heading there and he said he'd be open until 7:30p which we thought was odd because Google says that they're open until midnight. But when we got there at 7:18, the shop was

I came in from Texas visiting my family. Lordy we came by @ 5 you wasn't here. Then we called and you told us you were coming back to the shop between 7 pm or 7:30. We just left and your not here. Lordy My people's...

This place is amazing! So much culture and has so much love in this place. They sell fresh and raw juices. The donuts are amazing. I shared with non vegan friends and family and they loved them. I tried their raw pineapple and ginger juice as well as the watermelon. Afterwards I had so much energy and felt refreshed. This little spot changed my life. Im investing in a juicer now. I will be back. I will also continue to spread the word about this place! Thanks again!

When you call at 5:40 and you?re told the store will open at 6:15, because you are CRAVING vegan gluten free donuts, you are will drive and wait 30 minutes for AMAZING DONUTS. When 30 minutes turns into 45 because you hope against all hope that waiting will bring you closer to set donuts and supporting a locally owned shop, you frustratedly turn on your car and head home. Maybe I?ll try again...in two years, but not anytime soon.

I will change my review if I ever experience this place. I'm not in the West End much, but when I am I try to stop by and it's never open. The first time I even called, spoke with someone and they said they'd be there in about 15min (which would have been past Google open hours). I gave them about 25, just sitting around waiting bacause again I don't live in this area- they then mentioned about another 15min and I just couldn't do it. I wanted to get back to the East side before traffic picked up more.

Good doughnuts when you can catch them open. I enjoy their selection and variety of doughnuts, their business hours are just all over the place. Don't bother calling, won't do any good. The best way to catch this place open is to just ride by and see for yourself.

Amazing Little Hole in a wall place!! Fantastic owner who stated he was the son and was so talkative and friendly!! Fresh multitude of flavored juices and donuts daily, all vegan I can enjoy! I?m so freaking cheap but I don?t mind spending extra to support such a friendly family business. Would visit more if I lived close by!

Not only the best vegan doughnuts around, but the best doughnuts in Atlanta period. Great prices, unique flavors, and great service. Location is easy & convenient - but I do like to call & confirm if coming at the beginning or end of listed hours.

Visited for the first time this week and it lived up to the hype! The location isn't the best in the city but don't let that deter you from visiting. The doughnuts are vegan, gluten free, free of added sugars, and delicious! The owner Ras is awesome and very passionate about giving people the best tasting, healthy treats possible.

Amazing place I eat here daily!! The donuts are soooooooooooo good. You MUST try them. We drive all the way from Marietta daily to eat the donuts and have the sea moss drinks. Such a great vibe here too. I strongly recommend Peace and love

I was super excited to find a vegan donut shop in Atlanta, I expected a full array of selections but one tray of three rolls of varieties individually wrapped. Still was ok for the most part because I specifically went there for donuts just wasn't going to get a dozen as hoped for or a box of assorted donuts. The owner waited on two patrons in front of me for about 15 minutes or more. Still ok at that point if they had questions about the product but he wasn't selling product at all or answering questions a

This , man has the most beautiful, soul with perfection delicious donuts at mouthwatering 10/10 must try again in I?m visiting from North Carolina will be back

I give this place four stars because it is my first time trying this place out. The doughnut that I purchased was pretty good. However, it was bit too sweet for my liking. I would suggest calling ahead to place an order if you would like different sweets. I went in expecting to have a huge selection already prepped and made and their were only about 15 doughnuts left of two different kind. I had the Banana Caramel. Chaz informed me that it is always best to call in, so that is what I will do next time as

Went here last weak on a whim and a great Yelp review. I only selected two, because, you know.... frequent disappointment in the past. I started to eat one as I was walking away....OMG! i immediately turned around and doubled my order. THESE ARE THE BEST GLUTEN FREE DOUGHNUTS I'VE HAD SINCE GOING GLUTEN FREE! Run, don't walk to Vegan Dream Doughnuts!

Very good and great place to eat Donuts that are animal free and unhealthy ingredients! Very Delicious!

I love this place. I had my first experience today; but it will not be my last. JB was so warm and cordial. He told me the flavors. He explained how they are made and the ingredients used. I tried a Coconut Mango doughnut. It was amazing. It tasted like a funnel cake. Made me so happy. A carnival in my mouth. I was a kid again in that moment. Being gluten intolerant makes it hard to find tasty treats; but not here. Everything is Gluten free, Vegan and sugar free. I am ?rolling in the deep? with V

Very kind man with very positive sweet vibe and very good vegan donuts! Guy took the time to actually explain to us what each donut was and even the vegan drinks. Will definitely come again when in Atlanta!

Stopped by because having gluten tolerance finding this place was right on time . I was slightly sceptical of the Raspberry, Lemon,Orange flavor . OMG .The doughnut was truly Amazing reminded of a Krispy Kreme .. I immediately called back to tell the owner how much I enjoyed the flavor , and trust me I'll be back . I've already pass the word to my family and friends.

These donuts are sooo good. You gotta time it just right to get the ones you want, but I promise it's worth is when you do get one. The subtle taste of lemon mixed with cinnamon is just amazing. Get you a vegan Dream donut if you're in the area, your body won't even feel guilty afterwards.

The hours say they open at noon. When we got there at noon it was closed, when we called, they said they would get there around 12:30. When we called again at 12:45, they said they would get there around 1-1:30. Then my friend went when they were open and they ran out of doughnuts. I'm not sure why this place got good reviews, but what's the point of having a storefront with store hours if you're not going to open on time and if you're not going to have doughnuts. I guess the name of the business hold true.

I went November 9, 2016..The vibe was excellent!!!I told the owner it was my first time in his Shop and he treated me like family!! He has wonderful customer service skills and he presented his passion with a smile!! I`ll be back next month when I come down from Charlotte, NC

I?m honestly infuriated at these donuts. They are perfect. Absolutely perfect. I?m gluten free, and it?s been forever since I?ve had a real tasting donut. I will be spending all of my money and all of my non-existent children?s inheritance on these donuts.

Should change the name to Hotep Donuts. I?m convinced everyone who left a good review got a free donut. The experience is so unprofessional I can?t put it into words. Please visit and see for yourself. Look at their responses to upset customers. The response to mine will probably be the nastiest- like the donut.

I wouldn't give a star if I could. I travel to Atlanta to see my midwife once a month from Tennessee. I've tried to visit this place twice and they are always closed even when it says they are open. First time they were celebrating somewhere and were closed this time I went for my birthday 2 weeks ago about 6 pm and it wasn't opened, nobody even answered the phone.

The shop doesn?t look like much, but don?t let that stop you from visiting. Great customer service! As a vegan with a long list of food allergies, I was delighted to find that everything was gluten-free. Best vegan donut I?ve ever had! Will be buying more!

With a name like Vegan Dream, I stopped in for the first time with high expectations. Sadly, they were not met in the slightest. Walking in the door i discovered that it really wasnt a doughnut shop, but a place that HAS doughnuts. Literally one tray of doughnuts, about a dozen or so. All wrapped in plastic sandwich bags. I guess they do other things there like smoothies and such, according to google, but i didnt see a menu or anything signifying that this was any kind of cafe or restaurant...it just looked

Good vegan doughnuts can't even tell the difference. The reason i didnt give this place 5 stars is because the donuts are not as filling for their value, 2.50 for one thin doughnut that only last 5 seconds is a little to much for me, but they are very flavorful, especially the almond and banana flavor

I?ve called Vegan Dream numerous times considering their time of opening... there?s been an abundance of tardiness & an unwillingness to provide services to the very own customers of this organization. I?ve been disrespected by the owner of this business and was told to come and confront him in his face for my very own concerns. Do your research and look at the people who has had a significant response to mine... please, look at how this company responds to its supporting customers. I was a committed suppor

These are decent vegan doughnuts, though a bit expensive, but it's more a little pop-up shop than a legit doughnut shop. You're lucky if you can get there in time to snag any, and it's inside a hard-to-find juice shop.

As a vegan this is my togo to spot on the west end. Its actually my togo to spot in Atlanta, i live in sandy springs but when ever I'm on the west end, trust and believe i will make a stop at Vegan Dream. ill make the special trip to go and get food at least one a week. If you've only been going for the donuts and didn't know about the other foods. Just ask about the soup and kale salad of the day. its a vegans dream spot.

This place is AMAZING! Ross (owner) is so kind and passionate about eating healthy! All of the donuts are gluten & dairy free and the cinnamon sugar donut is to die for!

These aren't the best "vegan" doughnuts but the best doughnuts PERIOD! no eggs, sugar, or dairy?! wow. to be real you're doing yourself a disservice if you go anywhere else for doughnuts. and the lentil soup is life. i'm telling EVERYBODY to go here

The best donuts and I?ve had in a very long time! Customer service was great. I love the uniqueness and representation of King Haile Selassie

I decided to start eating plant based about a year and a half ago and have wanted to find vegan donuts for the longest time lol. Super chill vibes and the best donuts I?ve ever had, stoked to come back here ???

Wowwww! Took me a minute to find the place because it was on the side of the building but oh man! These donuts are INCREDIBLE! Owner is super nice& friendly. Will be returning.????????????

The spartanic interior is a bit off-putting. Their donuts are wrapped in cling wrap. But they are good, and unique - and they have fresh juices and rasta clothing if you need either to accompany your donut.

I rode pass this place one day in the west end so when I got home decided to read the reviews it?s seems like people genuinely express their concerns and he replies negatively because he can?t accept the critique ?? Low vibrational donuts?

Their doughnuts are literally amazing my favorite part about these babies is that their guilt free eat all you want and you wont gain a calorie tell me that's not amazing totally check this place out. Another Day Another Doughnut??????

This is my second time arriving at this location and it is closed. No one answered the phone this time. I went a little over a year ago and had the same issue. At least they picked up the phone and said they would be there in an hour. The Google hours of operation state 5:30pm -12am. It is 7:45

Greasy donuts. Nice people. I will go back and get some fresh ones. I think those had been sitting. But next door is a whole sale Shea butter shop.

Always good customer service and eats! I personally enjoy the samosas, donuts, and spearmint lime juice. Very delicious

Best donuts you will ever have in your life, the soup and samosas are made with love and intention and you can taste the love in it. Amazing!!!

OMG!!! The BEST DOUGHNUTS EVER!!!! They're so MOIST and has a little CRISPY bite to them. I tried the Madagascar Vanilla and the Orange Lemon Ginger.....THE BOMB??!

Always on point. These guys know what they're doing!!! Amazing flavors coming out of this building. Food, drinks and treats.. vegan dreams come true In Atlanta.

Great Doughnuts and very fresh!!!!!

Donuts are great but expensive. Parking is a on narrow street and the interior setting is basic.. Not for sitting down for very long, quick in and out.

Literally the best donuts I have ever had!! Hole in the wall place, but those are the best places! Recommend to all donut lovers.

Super yummy doughnuts! Owner was warm and inviting! We'll definitely be back for the vegan meals during the week ??

Made a tower with my donut holes and it was a HIT

Thank you for providing delicious vegan and gluten-free donuts. Your donuts and customer service are remarkable. #richrelationshipsrefuge

Was closed even though it said open

I love these people and this place. Vegan Dream cares about the ingredients in their products and the health of the community. For several years I have done business with them and will continue to do so.

A little gem in the West End. I got the sorrel ginger juice (AMAZING) and the banana pistachio doughnut. I wish I got another because it had just the right amount of the banana and sweetness

I called in advance and was told to order in person only to arrive 1 hour later and to be told they were sold out and I should?ve ordered and paid by phone. I would?ve if I wasn?t told otherwise when I called. My first impression wasn?t great :( It messed up the surprise I had planned.

The vegan donuts were delicious! Love the natural aroma!

The atmosphere here is so chill, it?s a black owned vegan spot AND the guy is very chill and his prices aren?t bad at all for IMPECCABLE quality VEGAN donuts!!????

We were visiting from Baltimore and we're glad we stopped by this gem. Good vegan doughnuts. "Best doughnut I've ever had in my life" - my brother
