Then I saw a sign that said \"vegan donuts...\"\nWho the hell in Phoenix is vegan? I had to check it out.\nWalking up, I encountered a posse of down to earth, sure, call the hippies if you want, kids, all having a good time on the picnic table outside. Not knowing anybody in Phoenix, I left conspire with many a lasting friendship!\n\nIt must be said, yes, there is a \"crowd\" here that might deter the type of people who got lost looking for Starbucks. For you, there is Starbucks. For me, I want to the type of people who know what a vegan donut is.\n\nI appreciate the gallery inside filled with local artisan goods, lots of great art up and good music playing. \nI could agree with the idea that some improvement could be made. I do love the laid back atmosphere, but could also see how it might deter newcomers from feeling welcome when there is too much inside-jokery and focus on friends before customers. Again, I think this comes with the territory of a small shop in a locals-only part of town."^^ . "0"^^ . . "4"^^ . "2"^^ .
