    Donut deliciousness!
    Michele F.

    I love donuts, but I've always been a bit leery of vegan food...that is, until I tried these donuts! They are yummy! A friend and I stopped in on Sunday afternoon, but were super disappointed to find that they had already closed. One of the women working there, who was super nice, gave us some donuts to go, probably because they are closed on Monday and Tuesday. We were so surprised and thankful for her generosity. We shared the donuts with friends and we all agreed that they were delicious. I will definitely stop back in on my next visit to Seattle.

    Vanilla Biscoff

    Delicious and so fresh tasting! We tried the Apple fritter and Vanilla Biscoff. No complaints definitely an artisan experience.

    Gluten free cake doughnuts
    Natalie H.

    Great seasonal flavors. Gluten free options (Plural). All vegan, so I don't have to worry about dairy in anything. Fun drinks. Sparkly floor!!! I wish I had known about this place earlier.

    Mango Tajin
    Yash K.

    Visiting Dough Joy was joyful indeed. I tried their new special Mango Tajin donut. It has a cake base with mango flavoring on top and it's sprinkled with Tajin. The combination was very yummy. I also got the Caramelatto coffee. The service was very quick. The servers also gave us a couple of cake pops with the coffee. The place has a very relaxing vibe and fun music. It's also located conveniently close to the West Seattle Farmers Market if you're visiting that.

    Pistachio latte and an americano
    Jordan O.

    Stopped in for a quick sweet treat. Ambiance - nice and colorful with donuts to match, it's actually connected to a plant store that has all the seating. You can enjoy your coffee and donut as well as shop for some household plants! Service - people taking our order were really friendly and explained what a lot of the flavors were. Food - I normally don't focus on the drinks but the pistachio latte was delicious! Best I've had forsure, plus each coffee came with a donut hole to get you started. Donuts were solid, moist (worse thing is a dry donut).

    Vegan doughnuts!! Vegan lattes! A variety of glazed and cake donuts all vegan ! You don't even have to be vegan. These are just straight up amazing donuts. I highly recommend all of their glazed cake. I love cake donuts, but I don't think that's the strong suit. Go with the glazed because they are delicious!!! I really enjoyed the French toast and the strawberry Matcha ! I've tried everything bagel donuts, but not a fan of the cream cheese. IMO. The coffees are good the lattes are great, super creamy! They also offer a wide variety of fun teas & boutique coffees blends. Service is great! Indoor & outdoor seating options too! Cute plant cafe vibes!

    The doughnuts were okay. The doughnuts are cute and the flavors are fun but taste-wise. They are just average. I went early in the morning to buy them and they were kinda dry. So I don't know if that's how they're supposed to be with it being vegan, or if they had just been out for too long? Idk. All the workers were kind though, so I'm appreciative of that.

    The box, the sticker, the little touches!

    The aesthetic of the shop and the little details are amazing and the service is so friendly and easy going. I really enjoy the selection of donuts they have. Love the rise on the donuts and they're nice and fluffy Top favorites: lemon lavender, apple fritter, maple bar, chocolate churro old fashion Too sweet for me: french toast, vanilla biscoff, everything but the bagel (too much glaze for a sweet/savory combo

    Lavender Latte and Pink Powerpuff
    Andy N.

    OMG, I've heard such great things about Dough Joy that I'm so happy I finally got to experience these delectable donuts on my recent trip to Seattle. And honestly, who cares that these are 'vegan'? Not having any animal products in the dish doesn't necessarily mean it's not delicious. Make sure you look out for an online coupon before coming! I managed to find a deal that was 4 doughnuts and 2 drinks for $20, which saved me a pretty penny when it comes to having all these treats. There were some rockstar standouts including their Bavarian Cream (vanilla cream filled and topped with chocolate icing) and their Turtle Cheesecake (another chocolatey, savory donut). They rotate weekly specials so I hope you get to try these two. For our drinks, we got a Lavender Latte and a Pink Powerpuff. Both drinks really hit the spot and fit their entire look and feel. It even came with a small donut hole that went through the straw - super cute! Shoutout to their Pride Donut because it was filled with glitter and I was living for the aesthetics.

    Gluten-Free donut options

    We went out of our way to go here since they have started carrying a variety of GF doughnuts. We arrived at the Capital Hill location around 4pm on a Sat and they still had plenty of GF and regular. They were not out of any which is crazy for a donut shop!! This really is the only donut shop in the area that offers more than one flavor of GF donut. They have 6 and have them at both locations. The photo shows the size (small like palm of your hand) and flavors. They are very good flavor-wise and texture-wise. I do recommend trying them all since I was surprised with what I enjoyed the most (tiramisu which I don't typically like). The regular donuts have an amazing cake texture and are very big and thick. The only difference between all of them is the topping / flavor - the base is the same. They are perfectly flavored. Not too sweet like most. We bought 6 different kinds then cut them up so everyone could try each donut. Highly recommend this method. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. We will be back!! (And everything there is vegan which you would never know flavor or texture-wise)

    Gluten-free carrot cake donut (January 2024). Moist cake and delicious.
    Cora L.

    I loved Dough Joy donuts very much before I developed a gluten sensitivity. It's one of the things I missed most! So you can imagine my joy when I saw their gluten-free announcement. And the carrot cake GF donut DID NOT disappoint!!! It was available for walk-in customers (January 2024), and the cashier mentioned they'll add more flavors in a couple weeks. Their GF donuts are moist inside and delicious all over. It was totally worth the wait because they really nailed their recipe. Thank you, Dough Joy!!!!

    Lemon filled doughnut!
    Lana S.

    To be totally honest, doughnuts are rarely my treat of choice. However, when I make the trek over to Alki Beach, I always make a pit stop at Dough Joy. Their doughnuts are so delicious. You would truly never know that they are vegan, as everyone else has said. I always like trying the different flavors (and they're constantly coming out with new fun seasonal flavors!). I love supporting vegan businesses and Dough Joy is amazing. Today I got the lemon filled doughnut as I'm obsessed with lemon and ...10/10. Fantastic. The shop is also connected to an adorable plant store. The two employees working today when I was there were just the most lovely humans. Big fan!

    Couldn't resist!
    Rima Z.

    Cute little shop, with a good variety of choices. Really appreciate the bite sized options as well. Service was friendly and patient (which is nice when trying to decide what to buy!)

It ended up being so tasty that I came here twice within a few days. The first visit, I got veggie tempura appetizer and chirashi rice bowl. A bit on the pricier side, I still wanted to give it a try. The veggie tempura are actually not separate pieces of vegetables in tempura, but kakiage (shredded veggies fried together) - still pretty good though. The chirashi rice bowl was fantastic - beautiful presentation as the fish came on the side, pretty fresh, and I appreciated the small details, like the wasabi stem inside the scallop and the shiso leaf/sprouts that accompanied the dish. The service was fantastic as well, considering I had a table for one during lunch hour. My second visit I was on the go, so I got the Classic sushi burrito, which again was maybe a little pricier than I would like, but it was worth it. Rice, fish/poke, crab mix, cucumber, avocado - it all mixed nicely wrapped within the rice paper outside, and was convenient to eat for takeout. Definitely recommend giving it a try if you're around the area and feel like treating yourself to more than a soup/salad/sandwich...

    I am so grateful for my experience at Life On Mars. It turned out to be the highlight of a…read moretumultuous Seattle trip and I look back on it fondly. We came here mostly for one thing: I absolutely could not wait for their gluten-free vegan chick'n pot pie. A pie i'd been waiting months to try. A pie unlike any other pie. A pie that I still think about to this day. We walked straight into a Cardi B drag show. And by "walked into" I mean we opened the door and Hot Pink Shade sashayed right in front of us. It was exactly the kind of welcome we love. It was also the first green flag in a sea of green flags at Life On Mars. I could barely sit still as I waited to order my GF/VG pot pie. We got the drinks outta the way (a peach hard cider for me and a fancy-schmancy cocktail for the lady). I was positively GIDDY when Anna came to take our order and I blurted out chick'n pot pie excitedly. I nearly died when she said they didn't have any. Normally it wouldn't have been such a big deal, but I was from out of town and had literally been craving this damn pie for months! And I lied, I didn't nearly die but I DID nearly cry and that's almost as bad. Even the bestie lamented about what a let down this was. Anna. Dear, sweet Anna. We must have looked really hard up because this sweet baby angel offered to ask the cooks if they could whip one up special just for me. Let me tell you why this is a big deal: For one, she didn't need to do that. That's going above and beyond, and she was such a graceful little buttercup when she did it. Second, making a gluten free biscuit is a finicky, precise, detailed process. It sucks, honestly, and I don't blame them for not having them every day. I nearly cried when she came back and told us the cooks said YES. And this time i'm not lying. It was beyond the type of customer service i'm used to. It was.... humane. It was...empathetic. It was...totally first world problems but it meant so much to me! Especially since Anna said it had been a DAY and she was at her wits end. For her to have a rough day and still have the grace and compassion to make my stupid GF/VG chick'n pot pie dreams come true.....well, yeah, it made me a bit teary eyed. The pot pie was delicious, as expected. It was nostalgic and comforting, like a big hug in a bowl. The flavors were rich and deep, the biscuit soft and flaky; it was one of the most delicious things i've tasted on my GF/VEG journey. Between the food, the drinks, the customer service and the drag show......this was five stars all around. No doubt. I don't see the GF chick'n pot pie on their menu anymore. Maybe it's a seasonal thing? I hope it comes back, i'll be checking. And when it pops up again, so will I. Thank you, Anna. Thank you to the cooks on 2/19/26. Thank you to Hot Pink Shade, ISIS and King Leo Mane.

I went here on a Friday dinner, right after the dinner / pre-theater rush, as this place is right next to Paramount Theatre. I got the chicken schnitzel and the Practical Magic cocktail. The chicken schnitzel is quite lovely. The potato salad and the pickled cabbage can be a bit tangy but it cuts the fattiness of the chicken schnitzel. I also enjoyed the curry mustard that goes really well with the schnitzel. $32 is a little bit higher than what I would want to pay, but the quality is there. Practical Magic is quite a pretty cocktail - it has gold stars sprinkled on top. It is a more tart drink with beet and a smokiness from the mezcal. I enjoyed it When the bill came, it was quite an interesting check cover since it says Paybill instead of Playbill. Those theater booklets you get in Broadway shows. Service is pretty good.

Thankfully they are open today on the Fourth of July (they will just close a little earlier for the holiday), and I was happy to see that not much has changed since my last visit. Without even realizing it, I ended up ordering the exact same drink I got the first time: a Matcha Float with mochi. I guess you really can't go wrong with it because it's still just as creamy and satisfying as I remembered. The only tiny downside is that it only comes with three small mochi balls, so for almost $9 I wish there were a few more. However, the quality of the matcha is consistently excellent, sooo I don't regret coming back. They have wonderful customer service too! The employee helping me at the register was incredibly patient while I stood there trying to decide what to order. As an awkward introvert, I always feel a little flustered when ordering, but she never made me feel rushed or uncomfortable. She asked my sweetness preference for the Matcha Float, whether I wanted to dine in or take everything to go, and even carefully packed up my yuzu green tea packet with the rest of my order. She was very kind and thoughtful so just wanna say I really appreciate how welcoming she was. Even from my last Seattle visit two years ago, I still remember the employees being helpful and friendly here. I also have to recommend their desserts from my previous visit. (I skipped the sweets this time due to my budget but I still suggest picking up some of their sweets!). The Matcha Basque Cheesecake and the Matcha Tiramisu were both absolutely delicious, and I still remember how amazing they tasted even two years later. The tiramisu is only around $7 and is definitely worth trying if you're a matcha lover. This visit, I picked up their yuzu green tea packet to take home (last time, I got the hojicha). Each packet contains 15 individual tea bags and costs about $10 (not bad for how much tea is in each tea bag). They also sell matcha powder and other tea goodies. I'm looking forward to brewing the yuzu green tea at home since a good cup of hot tea is always comforting, especially when I'm sick (I've been recovering from a cold so tea has been a lifesaver to warm me up!). I actually stopped by for lunch since I didn't eat breakfast, and ordered the Sukiyaki Don (it was much more satisfying than I expected). I was craving a beef bowl and Nana's was one of the few places in the area within walking distance from my work, that was actually open for the holiday today, lucky me! It came with miso soup and a soft-boiled egg, and I was pleasantly surprised to find tofu and mushrooms in the bowl alongside the beef. It left me FULL, my tummy happy, heck yeah. Costs almost $20 but worth satisfying a craving. I won't lie.. I somehow managed to spend about $40 today between my meal, drink, and tea to take home. More than I intended to spend but no regrets, because everything was delicious and the quality has remained consistently high over the years. The only thing that made my visit a little uncomfortable wasn't the café itself. There were quite a few homeless individuals lingering around the front of the building, so I decided against dining out front like I had originally planned since I wanted to enjoy the nice weather, but one of them was panhandling me so I promptly left (thankfully I asked for my order to be packaged for takeout). That's obviously outside of the café's control, and it didn't affect the food or service at all. They still had many seats available inside but probably because it's the holiday. If I recall, the place was packed during the afternoon when I last visited on a weekday. I will still say that Nana's Green Tea continues to be one of my favorite matcha spots whenever I'm in Seattle. Between the consistently high-quality matcha, delicious meals and desserts, excellent selection of teas to bring home, and genuinely exemplary customer service, it's a place I'll happily keep returning to whenever I'm back in town and have the time to visit.
