I've been vegan for a long time and have had all the vegan donuts from all the well-known vegan places from around the US. Nothing comes even close to Ronald's. Take Dunwell or Baby Cakes---especially Dunwell, who focuses on vegan donuts alone. Donuts there are 3 to 4 times more expensive and at best half as good (and that's being generous). Baby Cakes or Dunwell might have cute shops, and the ingredients are probably slightly more healthy (but if you're eating a donut, who cares?), but they could take a huge lesson from the humble yet delicious donut shop that is Ronald's Donuts.
