Washington D.C. is Getting a New All-Vegan Doughnut Shop!

After running pop up vegan doughnut shops all around Washington, D.C., couple Shawn Peterson and Nicole Dao will be opening a brick and mortar location called Donut Run! Donut Run, which will be opening this spring, will be the first all-vegan donut shop to ever appear in D.C.

While visiting California a few years back, Peterson and Dao stumbled upon a doughnut shop called The Donuttery in Orange County. After their experience, they were bursting with inspiration and knew they had to open their own shop! Especially since it is so hard to find a good vegan doughnut!

Dao and Peterson have been baking for years, and learned to bake vegan doughnuts by swapping out animal products for vegan alternatives; substitutes like soy milk, egg-replacements, and dairy-free butter. Donut run will primarily sell yeast doughnuts, but they also will be playing around with cake and gluten-free doughnuts. Some of the flavors they will be offering include Boston Cream, Strawberry Sprinke, Matcha, Peanut Butter Chocolate, doughnuts coated with cereal, and even some more experimental options like doughnut sandwiches, doughnuts stuffed with ice cream, and even savory choices!

Donut Run will be located at 6904 4th St. NW and will be open from 7 am to 7 pm starting Spring 2019!

Can’t wait for the opening of Donut Run?
