One of the best donuts I've had, try the brown butter sea salt donut if they have it. I also really loved their milk bread savory. Super perfect with their coffee. Owners are friendly and super cool. Really made me feel welcome. Go here instead of the Journeys! read more

I was craving a donut and hear about this place so I decided to give it a try. As I walked in I noticed how cute it looked in side and the yummy smell of the donuts and other stuff they had. Service was nice the lady behind the counter had a nice smile and help me with questions I had about the donuts and pastries. I decided on the brown sugar doughnut. it was so delicious and just the right amount of sweetness. In my opinion the donuts are kind of expensive as they are $4.50 a donuts. So this would be a treat for me. They do serve coffee as well to eat with your yummy pastry. So go check this place out. read more

I have always loved Vio Handcrafted Pastries. What sets these apart from other places is the unique flavors they offer. Every month they have a different flavor to try, some of my personal favorites are: black sesame, ube, and pistachio. I also love that they have vegan options that were surprisingly tastier to me the regular ones! Customer service is always good and the interior of the store is so so cute. The only thing I wish is that they were open more days of the week. The owner has changed times so I don't get to go as often as I did.. but when they are open I always try to see what's left. Definitely recommend you try this small business out for yourself! ^_^ read more

Absolutely love this place! As someone who is sensitive to dairy, it's so nice to still be able to get a doughnut fixed without the stomach ache. But like other people have mentioned their hours are challenging. I would frequent them more often if they were more accessible. Makes me concerned that they're not doing well. it would be nice to be able to place orders via DoorDash however, the options are extremely limited and zero customization. read more

Finally a break from the rain, after a week straight of gray skies and pouring rain. It's a short break, I welcomed with a short walk around downtown taking in some sun. I stopped by Vio to enjoy a donut and a warm drink. I was warmly greeted when I came in the door. There was only one customer at the counter. It bought me a couple minutes to decide on what donut to order. When it was my turn to order, I decided on a small (12 ounces) oat chai latte, and a double chocolate ganache donut. Double chocolate ganache donut- It was pretty good. Chocolate on top, chocolate & ganache filling , salted caramel drizzle on top. It was a lot of chocolate (Crazy to say as a chocolate lover!). This would have tasted much better warmed up. Note to self: either order this first thing when the store opens or ask to have it warmed up next time. It's a yummy concept, I wouldn't recommend eating at room temp or cold. Chai latte w/ oat milk- I requested to add oat milk, I believe for sixty cents more. This is my second time drinking the chai latte and I still am in love with it. It was such a nice kick of chai flavor. It's not at subtle, which I love so much. I was asked if I had or wanted a loyalty card. I didn't have one and accepted one To my surprise, the employee give me 2 stamps instead of 1...I love this loyalty program already!!! LOL. It appears you earn a stamp per item purchased, not by the number of visits. Making it that much faster to earn that free cake donut after 10 stamps! Sweet!!! I enjoyed my goodies inside. I sat at a table right by the window to enjoy soaking in some sun. The woman that had taken my order brought my oat chai latte to me at the table. :) I love the cute decor and makes it selfie worthy with your treats! Thanks for the great service and sweet treats! I shall return with my loyalty card in hand! :) read more

My friend told me about Vio Pastries months ago but the hours are a little limited to the morning. She raved about the maple bacon donut. Months later and I finally had a free Sunday morning to come check it out! Located in DT Vacaville. Very easy free street parking. Oh the decor and ambiance are so cute! It's very dreamy. Instagram-worthy. I could say the theme is love. Flowers everywhere. Romantic songs (Taylor Swift's Lover and Elvis Presley etc). I didn't think such a cute cafe type place could be in Vacaville. For the donuts we ordered ube, pistachio, dulce de leche, and a berry one. Some were filled. Others were not. They also had plenty of vegan options. For drinks I got the passion iced tea. I really enjoyed the passion fruit iced tea. It had bits of seeds in it. You could tell it was homemade and not poured from a grocery store box. Very refreshing and not overly sweet. For the donuts some were a tad too sweet for my partner's liking. Two donuts per person was a bit much. I could only finish about 1.5 in a sitting. The only thing that would make it better were if I was luckily enough to have gotten the donuts fresh out of the oven so they were still warm. Very good chance I'll come another day with my friend and hopefully I can try the maple bacon donut she loves. read more

I love their jalapeño garlic cheese milkbread that I get my lazy ass out of bed earlier just for some but I usually get there in the late morning but I digress. It's so so yummy my tummy would write heart emojis for it. The decor is cute inside and the people are nice. I'm happy to support them. read more

I am so glad this pastry shop is in Vacaville! The quality of their pastries is 10/10. I highly recommend trying this place out. Everything pictured in the review is vegan. This is a rare find for the Vacaville area as many cafes do not have vegan options, or a very limited selection of vegan options available. There are non vegan options at Vio as well I believe. Everything is so good it's hard to decide what my favorite donut is! So far the Mexican Hot Chocolate donut and the Blueberry muffin are my tops. I am looking forward to trying the new Oreo Cookie donut My boyfriend says the staff is always very friendly and the cafe is very nice. There are tables also to eat in cafe if you choose. We always pick up enough pastries on Saturday for Sunday because they are closed on Sunday. The pastries are just as yummy the next day though! I have reviewed this cafe before but they definitely deserve a second review for their continued excellence. read more

Tip: 10% military discount. There's also water inside. Overall, there was a sort of Stale texture to the donuts where the exterior was not as crispy and fresh-tasting as I would want. I wish I liked this more! - Dulce de leche: I wish it was a little bit sweeter but my friends seem to enjoy it the most. - Ube: the filling was more sugary than I expected, more like an icing. I did appreciate this more than the others though. - Pistachio/almond creme: somehow the taste is a bit more muted than I expected as well. read more

Vio Handcrafted Pastries - Variety of vegan donuts - Donuts Near Me - Vacaville, California

Since I was in the area, I decided to knock out this local bakery that specified churro donuts with ube filling. It is located in the city of Vacaville. Walked in and friendly staff greeted upon entering in. I'd like two lattes with oak milk and a ube churro and dulce de leche one, please. Out come? Not your average type of churro but was really good. Dough and whatever you use to make a churro went well together. The filling is not super sweet but perfect. read more

Ambiance: This pastry shop is located in downtown Vacaville. They have donuts, cakes, churros, cookies, and coffee. If you're ever in the mood for pastry and coffee while in downtown Vacaville this is a cute spot for to stop, chat and have coffee and snacks. Food: The donuts are like old fashioned donut with a new twist. I really like the brown sea salt Caramel and my niece loved her chocolate donut with sprinkles. She also Loved the chocolate milk. According to her it tasted creamy :). That chocolate chip though is 100% recommended. It soft, chewy, and chocolaty. Service: there was only one guy in their, My bad for not catching his name. He was so nice and polite. He welcomed us in with a greeting and a smile. The place has a few tables with cute succulents in a tiny tea like cup. I love all the flower decor. read more

The bright storefront and signage: Vio Handcrafted Pastries and Chubby Churros caught our attention as my cousin and I were perusing Downtown Vacaville...it was a total squirrel moment and quickly jaywalked across the street...place was super inviting, cute with plenty of seating to enjoy your dessert and a beverage of various hot and iced teas/coffees. As soon as you walk in you can smell the comforting scent of wonderful baked goods.... I honed in on the cookies but then saw the various cake donuts, and "churro donuts"....their display of goodies definitely makes you want to try everything! For this visit I had to try a cookie and a chubby churro. :: Salted caramel with pretzel cookie - this cookie was DELICIOUS! Soft, chewy cookie, with bites of caramel with crunch from the pretzel - I'd travel an hour for this! Love the texture and flavor! Chubby Churro Donuts - unlike traditional donuts and churros these donuts are baked and not fried. Then topped with various flavored glazes, toppings and some filled. If you like a cruller then you'll like these...crispy on the outside yet airy...of course, if it's been sitting and cools it loses that airiness and gets a little dense :: Maple bacon - nice flavor with a nice, crisp bacon...for me the texture of the churro donut was heavy but soft..not bad just not what I was expecting :: Pistachio and almond creme churro - flavorful with sliced almonds and dusted with pistachio - if you like frangipane you'll love this! Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of crullers in general but cousin really enjoyed...the thought of the churro donut sounded exciting, but for me didn't care for the texture...this coming from a person who doesn't like mochi! This place is 7 months new and definitely warrants another visit with their creative baked goods, wonderful customer service and inviting interior that you want to stay awhile. Cousin and I were chatting it up and didn't notice that we had stayed 30 mins after closing. Oops! We apologized to the owner who was cleaning and closing up and thanked her for not kicking us out. Lol She was so gracious and kind and we were on our way...wish I had bought more cookies for the road :) read more

This place is so good. Divine is the right word to describe. Their brown butter, sea salt donut is fire. Wish they were open everyday but I know they participate in a lot of farmers markets in the Bay Area. read more

My cousin and nephew told me about them from a farmers market and I had to come find them after I tried their donuts. They didn't not disappoint!! Soft, sweet and delicious! Their staff is amazing too. There's also small hand sizes cakes that are vegan and gluten free. Many of their menu options vegan friendly and gluten friendly as well. read more

Yummmm. My favorite donut has always been maple, so when I saw he had donuts, I went straight for the maple. The owner was very friendly and told me he's located in Vacaville and ecommended I try his brown butter sea salt donut. I'm always down to try new things, so I thought, "Ok, I'll give it a try," even though I was sure I'd only like the maple. Well, I ended up loving the brown butter sea salt! I'm not sure if it was the contrast between the sweet brown butter and the little bits of sea salt, but my new favorite donut is definitely the brown butter sea salt. I still love a maple donut, but the brown butter sea salt is the one for me. My husband got the cutest little chocolate chip cake and loved it. He's a chocolate chip lover, so anything with chocolate chips, he's grabbing it! So glad we were able to try these at the local Vallejo Farmers Market, and I can't wait to check out more recommendations from the owner. By the way, the donuts are soft and chewy, which I really loved! read more

This place is really cute! The girl working there was really nice and helped me pick a few items. Everything was fresh and delicious.

Vio Handcrafted Pastries - Maple donut and salted caramel chubby churro - Donuts Near Me - Vacaville, California

I came across Vio by accident when I was looking up breakfast spots in Vacaville. I love a good donut shop especially with unique flavors, and I'm always interested in trying anything signature - and this place has "chubby churros." Such a cute name and who can resist a chance to have a churro in the morning? The shop is located in downtown Vacaville and very cute and colorful inside. There is actually a ton of seating inside too, more than your typical donut shop so we were able to enjoy our treats right away (and they had a high chair for our little guy!). The employees were very friendly and super helpful explaining their filled donuts when I told them it was our first time there. All the flavors looked amazing but we narrowed it down to two items - one cake donut in ube flavor, and one chubby churro in dulce de leche flavor. I think my only complaint here is the price is pretty steep for one donut - $4. I know they're specialty but I would've priced the cake donuts at $3 something and then the chubby churros and filled donuts would be $4. I'm not sure if the prices go lower if you bought them by the dozen but that would help too. But it's hard to say since I'm sure ingredient prices are likely rising at this time so maybe that's the new normal price. I'm not a huge cake donut fan so naturally by default I enjoyed the chubby churro more. But with that said, the cake donuts here were not as dense as the ones you'd find at a regular donut shop. They were still pretty soft and moist with the consistency of cake. The ube flavor was great too. I wish we were able to try more chubby churro flavors - they were so light and airy! Next time I am definitely getting more flavors to-go! If you're not a donut or churro fan (wait why are you here?), you're in luck, you can still try their other goodies like mini cakes and cookies, and they have coffees & teas as well. Great little spot to get a bite for breakfast or something for dessert and walk around the shops outside! read more

Food is excellent, literally the best vegan pastries, donuts and cakes I have ever had.

I came here with my wife on our way to SF. She got in on this event I believe north bay or Davis / Dixon market. I order small coffee and I had the handcrafted chocolate with those drizzle on top of the donut. Like all donuts it was sweet. Too sweet for me a little bit but it was good. Come to think of it, I don't eat much sweet stuff such as candies , chocolate bars and donuts. The coffee was just right and warm enough for a cold rainy day. The staff was nice and gave quality service. This place is location at the historical area of Vacaville. read more

Excuse me while I swoon over these pastries to EVERYONE I know. That should tell you enough. Pistachio almond : 9/10. Reminded me of an authentic almond croissant. This one was probably my favorite of the ones I tried. Density in the pasture itself, with a creamy almond filling and pistachio topping. Believe me when I tell you I SAVORED this one. Lemon: 8/10. This one was recommended to me. I LOVE lemon pastries and this one did NOT disappoint. Again, very DENSE. To not expect a Krispy Kream donut from here. It's WAY better. They're all like cake donuts. The lemon flavor was ON POINT and the lemon frosty had just the right amount of sweet and tart! I loved the tartness of it! Dulce de leche: 6/10. The only reason it's a 6 is because I am not a huge fan of caramel. I got this one for someone else, but they let me snag a bite! Again, perfect density, yet not dry at all! The perfect amount of caramel and sugar on top! Fruit cheesecake: 6/10. Ok, so I was expecting this one to be my favorite! It was not. Not that it wasn't bad, but the lemon and pistachio were just SO impressive, this one didn't stand out. Although it had cream cheese in it, it was probably the driest of the bunch. Maybe would have liked more fruit or the cream cheese to be more cream cheesy! It tasted very plain. But still YUMMY. Chocolate chunk cookie: 8/10. Soft, chocolaty, delicious. Finished it up a few days later and it was STILL soft. I also got an americano! Nothing special, but drinkable! Highly recommend Vio! read more

They also have great coffee and ice tea. We will definitely be back! read more

I have been following this place on Instagram for a while since I love donuts and these looked so yummy and creative. I finally tried it today at the farmers market next to AP Giannini. I ordered the pistachio, the cheesecake fruit, the ube taro, the blueberry, and garlic cheese milk bread. The flavors were really good for all of them. I thought the ube taro's cream was a little too sweet for me. I also preferred the cake donut vs the churro donut. The cake donut had a good texture and the glaze was both tart and sweet which gave it a great balance. I would come back to try more of the cake donuts! I'm coming for that strawberry one for sure. The garlic cheese milk bread was savory and had a garlicky cream cheese filling. I thought it was pretty good but I would prefer to get the donuts instead! I would like to say, the owner is so incredibly nice and welcoming. If I could have half her energy for the mornings, I would never need coffee again. She even gave my boyfriend's mom a free citrus olive oil cake. She made me feel like a regular even though it was my first time there! Thank you Vio for being you! read more

Cute donut shop in lovely downtown Vacaville. Delicious options to choose from, so many unique flavors were available when I came in. I decided to try their pistachio and salted brown butter donut. Both were super yummy! The salted brown butter donut was more of an old fashioned donut but I loved how crispy it was but still soft inside. Definitely tasted fresh! And the pistachio stuffed donut reminded me more of a almond croissant but instead with pistachio filling. It was very yummy as well! I definitely plan on coming back to try other flavors. Highly recommend this cute shop! read more

Very large supply of vegan donuts. Service was excellent. They have a loyalty program. Donuts were of the cake variety.

This is the kind of bakery that you know is going to have personality even before you step in. The flowery fairy lights theme is adorable welcoming. The girl at the front when we visited, Amy, was super sweet and was really fun to chat with. And then we got to the pastries, which were just incredible. We ordered the chocolate chunk cookie (a classic that did right by its reputation) and three chubby churros, each of which were unique and delicious. I would have a really hard time choosing a favorite. The almond pistachio frangipane chubby churro was the perfect balance of subtly sweet and nutty, with a wonderfully soft texture. The chocolate salted caramel was absolutely decadent, with a hint of espresso in rich, creamy chocolate filling. And the Ube taro chubby churro was a gooey, sweet bite of happiness with pretty colors to boot. I highly recommend you visit Vio if you are every in the Downtown Vacaville area, it epitomizes the magic of a well-run small business. read more

Cities evolve as time goes by. How refreshing it is to have a bakery with such unique sweets to Vacaville. Aesthetically it is instagram perfect picture with eye appealing modern clean cafe vibes. There is detail in everything including the dainty succulents on each table. I was welcomed by the friendly owner who was super patient in helping me deciding what to try. In the end I had the following Strawberry Cake Doughnut- Their cake doughnuts are not as hefty. In other words you can definitely sample more than one flavor! This flavor was my absolute flavor out of the bunch. A well balanced doughnut! Brown Butter Sea Salt Cake Dougnut- This was my husband's favorite! A pleaser for who love that sweet and salty combination. Might I add the consistency of their frosting isn't as overwhelming either! Dulce De Leche Chubby Churro- Despite their size the chubby churros are even lighter than the cake doughnuts. As with every opinion is preference. These actually do taste like churros without being ridiculously sweet. I do find that the prices are fair. Considering these are flavors and types of doughnuts you can't find elsewhere in Vacaville. Vio's handcrafted pastries reminds me of a bakery you would find in the Bay Area. As someone who use to commute I do miss the food of the Bay Area. Now I don't have to travel far to enjoy such treats! read more

The pastries are good. However, they are pretty pricey. The coffee drink was way too sweet & too small. (We forgot we had a similar too sweet & too small experience a year ago.) We tried going to Burger King to buy a black coffee to mix their coffee with, but Burger King doesn't sell coffee except I'm the morning. Uggg. So we tossed their coffee in the trash. Small coffee & 1 donut = $11.62. Not coming back. read more
