“ I just found a new favorite!! I cant believe theyre vegan! The strawberry shortcake and blackberry cream cheese ones didnt make it home. Got stuck in traffic on 880 so I opened the box and had everyone else watch me happily enjoy my donuts in a middle of stop and go traffic. ”
“ Im so happy that Rock N Roll Donut Bar opened a Santa Cruz location! I feel like a kid in ... a donut shop! So many choices and all vegan. I cant wait until they get their savory options up and running. I loved the breakfast burrito I had at their Monterey location. ”
“ I did not know this was a vegan donut place until we were walking out. I have no idea which or how many animals usually get ground into other donuts but I can say these are the best vegan donuts I ever ate! Of course I dont know if I ever had vegan donuts before but Ill also say there are asgood or better than any donuts I have ever had period. The only thing I might miss would be a nice maple log with a thick juicy piece of bacon on top so if thats what you are looking for, bring your own bacon mister! ”
