Vortex Doughnuts - Asheville

Spacious inside with maybe 10 small tables. friendly, helpful anti-service. amazing donuts and coffee. I had the espresso glazed piety and a luchador (milk). admitted, two more are waiting for me in a box.

So good! The default is vegan. Non-vegan is clearly labeled. Several types of donuts in cake and yeast. Delicious coffee drinks with oat milk to keep it nondairy. Reasonable prices.

The donuts are amazing. Some of the best coffee in town. If you’re looking for a doughnut experience while downtown this is your spot. I personally love the “vortex” doughnut with cinnamon sugar and chocolate swirl glaze and their chai latte with oat milk.

Although they do serve non vegan donuts, the default recipe is vegan. The non vegan donuts are marked as such and the rest are vegan. Let's make vegan the default everywhere. The Vortex is a great starting point and you will want to try them all.

I'm so happy to finally have vegan donuts in Asheville. And not just cake donuts (no, thanks). Vortex has plenty of flavor options to satisfy almost anyone. They even make a vegan apple fritter. The salted caramel is my go-to. It's not an overwhelming flavor that masks the donut taste but it's just right. Updated from previous review on 2021-07-26
