I took a trip to black mountain this weekend to get some delicious donuts at Dough House Donuts. It was well worth the hour trip from Hendersonville.
These donuts are on the slightly higher price point for donuts. I assumed at first the prices were a reflection on the product being gluten free/vegan as I know that can increase the price of ingredients, but what the price really reflects is the high quality of taste and generous size of portions.
These were the best gluten free dairy free (vegan) donuts I’ve had in a while. The gluten free donuts come as donut holes but don’t be fooled they are enormous! They are easily the size of two donut holes together if not bigger. They are not the classic fried fluffy donut, they are better. They are perfectly fried and deliciously dense texture with a slight fluffiness to it. The fry on the donut is enough to create a perfect shell without overcooking the interior or leaving oily residue. The glaze perfectly coats the donut without overwhelming it. The glaze flavors taste fresh and not at all artificial. I got the orange creamsicle, French toast, and chocolate caramel coconut flavors. My favorite was the chocolate caramel coconut.
I am definitely going to go back for more donuts another day, but what made today special was they had gluten free dairy free (vegan) cinnamon rolls!!! It has been far too long since I had a quality cinnamon roll and these were high quality. It had the perfect ratio of icing to bun, and just the right amount of cinnamon swirled inside. The dough was slightly denser like the donuts but it perfectly complimented the smoothness of the icing and the richness of the flavor.
I was also fortunate that they had a whoopie pie left over from yesterday that was gluten and dairy free (vegan). The texture of the cake is fluffy and the filling is nice and smooth. The ratio of filling to cake was just right. The filling was a like a frosting so it was sweeter upfront compared to the other pastries.
My sister had a regular (with gluten) orange creamsicle vegan donuts and said it tasted great. Her donut was also generously portioned.
The pictures do not do the donuts/cinnamon rolls justice as you have to see them to believe the size/quality. Gluten free donate come as three donut holes, but the pictures only show two as I forgot to take a picture before I started devouring them.
I almost forgot to mention, the staff was super friendly and helped answer any question I had. I highly recommend doing what I did and order a day ahead of time to make sure you can get the flavors you want as they sold out fast!
