Vegans and non-vegans alike, head to Donut Run in Takoma Park for plant-based donuts with a cult-like following.
The donut shop, which opened earlier this year at 6904 4th St. NW, is hard to miss with the line of people who patiently wait outside the bubble gum pink storefront. Husband and wife Shawn Petersen and Nicole Dao opened Donut Run on Jan. 2 after two years of successful pop-ups around the city.
Every morning at 7 a.m., Donut Run places fresh, completely vegan donuts on display shelves built into the shop’s register counter for browsing. Donut flavors rotate in and out on a daily basis, but you can check for the flavors of the day on its Instagram story. The shop only carries about a dozen flavors of donuts each day, so you’ll likely be able to try a new variety each time you visit.
Need another reason to drink coffee? Then consider that for every cup of Brewing Good’s roasts that you sip, you’ll be helping animals. The vegan-owned business donates 10 percent of all proceeds to nonprofits that protect animals, choosing a different nonprofit around the United States each month past recipients have included Uplands PEAK Sanctuary, Pigs Peace Sanctuary, and Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation. While you can order its organic and fair-trade coffees online, you can also stop by its location in Savage, MD, for its roasts and an array of vegan treats.
