MMMMM, DO-nuts!!

My husband is a traditionalist. He got regular, chocolate glazed, and cinnamon sugar donuts, like he remembered from childhood. I was more adventurous, and even though I haven’t ever really liked Boston cream pie, it sounded like it’d be a great donut. It was fantastic! I also went a bit traditional with a regular glazed brioche, and today I will venture the mango raspberry, which has been in the freezer. I was told they freeze well, but I bet they generally don’t hang around long enough for the need to freeze them!

Pros: All vegan donuts, from traditional to original

Gorgeous delicious vegan donuts

Also gluten free donut options. I tried the raspberry cheesecake, Boston creme, pina Colada, strawberry lemonade glazed, and they were absolutely delicious. I gave some away because I couldn't finish them and my friend loved them also. The lavender yuzu latte was so good.

Best Vegan Donuts!!

Lovebirds Donuts has the best vegan donuts I’ve ever had. Their special flavors change monthly and there is plenty of variety to try. Their glazed brioche is one of my favorites, simple but delicious.

Pros: Lots of options , GF options , All Vegan

Cons: Flavors can run out, Sometimes lines are very long (best to pre-order)

Worth the drive.

I've been eating their donuts since their opening day and they've done nothing but improve to perfection (they were good from day one but every time I go back they seem to get better). The atmosphere is really nice too, lots of windows and good seating. Very clean. The coffee is good too and staff has always been really friendly. Its close to a two hour drive for me but sometimes I need their donuts that bad.

Pros: Lots of flavors to choose from!, Good coffee to accompany donut. , Taste

Cons: Can be on the greasy side so I can only handle one

So happy this place exists

I’d been dying to have a donut since going vegan but none of the local places have animal-free options. Lovebirds is about 30 minutes from our house but worth the drive every time. My wife and I have probably been ten times, going once a month to try their flavors which change every month. They have a few great standbys and then some fun seasonal options. Both their cake and brioche donuts will knock your socks off and make you wonder how it’s vegan. Some of the flavors are just okay, but we always get 4 or more to try out a bunch over the course of the day. If you get there before 8am on the weekend, there isn’t much of a line, but it starts picking up after that. The trade off is that they sell apple fritters starting at 9am (and sometimes a little early) and if you get them fresh and warm it might make you cry. May’s salted brown sugar apple fritter was one of the best donuts we’ve ever had. Great selection of coffee beverages as well and the employees are generally really friendly despite having to get up so early.

Pros: Every single thing is vegan and peanut free, Reasonable prices , Fast and happy service

Cons: Can get busy after 8am on weekends, Flavors might run out on a busy day

Wonderful place for vegan donuts!

I live in Salem, MA and popped over to lovebirds on a weekend where we were quarantined with nothing else to do, and we’ve gone a couple times since! They take orders online and once we parked, they were outside with the donuts! I would recommend placing the order the day before if possible. The lemon lavender donut was phenomenal!

Pros: All vegan! , Huge variety of donuts

Great donuts, but employees not wearing masks


UPDATE:9/24/20 Still love these donuts and the existence of a vegan bakery but the kitchen is windowed and none of the employees were wearing masks while prepping the donuts.
Good procedure keeping masks on while interacting with customers and outdoor ordering.



Amazing donut shop! Be sure to try the Boston cream! I can’t bring myself to leave without a full dozen, these are the most high quality donuts I have ever had. The coffee is also fair trade and the shop is adorable. There is also a window to view the kitchen!

Pros: Holy cow the donuts are so good , Amazing coffee, Adorable shop

Cons: Poor mask protocol

Thanks for sharing your feedback. The Lovebirds team takes CDC-mandated Covid protocol very seriously and we are not aware of any violations occurring this fall--we even exceeded all COVID protocol during our annual (surprise) safety inspection. (Additionally, our open window concept puts our transparent commitment to team and guest safety on public display.) We would have loved the opportunity to hear from you directly with the specifics of your visit so we could either investigate further, provide important context, or otherwise allay your concerns. We kindly ask that in these circumstances (with us or with other businesses) that even if you choose not to reach out, that you are at least sure of what you're looking at before publicly calling out or poorly rating a small business. You may be surprised how damaging incorrect or incomplete information can be during these times.

Amazing donuts! Really cute shop and friendly people. They don’t really advertise that they are vegan donut shop which I found interesting. We went there 3 times and brought home a dozen to our family. Worth a stop! Get there early because they can run out of flavors.

Pros: Variety , Tasty, Huge donuts

Cons: They can run out of flavors

Beautiful donuts!

Cute location, friendly staff and beautifully presented donuts. I've been here twice so far, both times in the afternoon, and the donuts I've tried have been a little bit stale. I suspect that the fresh, natural ingredients they use mean the shelf life isn't very long. I'm excited to go again, first thing in the morning, to try some fresh, hot donuts.

Best. Donuts. Ever.

The best donuts you will ever have period. Such a huge selling point that all their donuts are vegan, and they also have delicious Gluten Free options. Their donuts and drinks are carefully made and you can tell. Staff is very professional and friendly. I enjoy every time I go in and grab some donuts. The decor and ambiance is great as well. Not only are the donuts delicious, every kind they have are so beautiful to look at. Every time I go into their shop they have new fun flavors, they always keep it fresh and different— flavors I’ve never had before with donuts.

Pros: Lots of different flavors to choose from, Friendly and knowledgeable staff, Comfy to stay and eat and for to-go orders

Excellent!

My husband and I have gone to lovebirds at least twice a month since they’ve opened, and their rotating monthly flavors never disappoint. I haven’t had a flavor I didn’t like. The brioche is so pillowy and soft. I just got a blueberry fritter this morning and seriously, wow. I don’t drink coffee but both the chai and matcha lattes are great and they use oat milk by default which I am so stoked about. Staff is so nice, lots of parking, plenty of places to sit even when it’s slammed (which it almost always is on weekends when we go). They’ve also done a number of fundraising events. It’s really cool to see that they’re creating community. I’ll support this place forever and ever.

Pros: All vegan!, Friendly staff, Phenomenal food and drinks

Lovebirds Donuts

This place had many great vegan donuts. My family and I tried the blueberry jam filled, the chocolate glazed, brioche glazed, s’mores, and Boston cream. The chocolate was my least favorite since it was a cake donut. The Boston cream and jelly were amazing. Jelly donuts were my favorite when I wasn’t vegan so I was so happy to have one again. The rest of my family is non vegan, and they didn’t have any complaints about the donuts. The jelly was also there favorite since it was so fluffy, almost like a croissant. The staff was very nice too. I highly recommend going to Lovebirds!

Pros: Jelly donuts, Boston cream donuts, Many milk options

Every donut is delicious!

My favorites were the glazed brioche, choc glazed, blueberry, chai, blueberry fritter. But they were all delicious! My non-vegan fam loved the Boston creme, glazed choc, glazed brioche, blueberry, chai, monkey muffins and the blueberry fritter. I loved them so much I had to go back for more! Go early to make sure you get pick of all the flavors!

Mind blown

A little slice of heaven in Maine! A beautiful establishment with welcoming, lovely people, let one of the owners working the counter. Such a delicious selection and all very fair priced compared with previous vegan donut finds. It’s totally worth the hour drive from Boston. Would definitely be back any time I’m in the area. Support local vegans!

Pros: Options in options, Yeast risen donuts, Fair priced
