As we go thru life, we encounter things that make us wonder....."what's this?"
That's what I thought when I saw the business, "Vegan Donut Gelato" listed on my Caviar App. Caviar offered me a promo discount to try this place. So I ordered some donuts via Caviar, which is risky because most likely your picks won't be available. The app prices are the same as the actual store prices. $3.50 for a regular donut is a little high, but hey everything is more expensive now. So I get a phonecall from the store saying they sold out of some of what I ordered. I tell the store to give me what they have of equal or better value (no cheapees). So instead of 5 donuts, they sent me 6 donuts (including a jelly filled) and load of donut holes. So the store was pretty cool about compensating for my missing donuts.
BTW, forget the vegan gelato. I already have tried plant-based ice cream, and it can't be much different.
So how were the donuts? There's no significant difference between vegan* donuts and regular donuts. Maybe they're not as sweet. The soft textures are the same. I bet in a blind taste test, most people wouldn't know the difference. So have a vegan donut and a cup of coffee, it's as good as it gets!

*Vegan: What's a vegan donut? A vegan donut would be a donut made without the use of animal products. Non-vegan ingredients include: eggs, milk, butter, and honey. So they're made with alternative ingredients like Almond milk.
