Decent vegan doughnuts

Definitely not the best vegan donuts I’ve ever had, but these were pretty good. Unfortunately, all the flavors tasted the same though, we got cookie butter and Oreo, and they both tasted like a glazed donut.

Seriously the best

We are visiting from out of town. It's really tough to find vegan donuts where I live. Pepperbox is incredible. These are the best donuts I've ever had! I'm picky! We got a half dozen cause we wanted to try as many as possible. I think it favs were the apple fritter and chocolate sprinkle.

Good donuts

Many vegan varieties available. I had a chocolate - cookie butter donut and a coconut frosted mango jam filled donut. The former was great, the latter was a bit much.

Good doughnuts and drinks

Large selection of vegan doughnuts. Lots of unique flavors like Maple Bourbon, Malt Blueberry, and Strawberry Cheesecake.

Also has a good selection of coffee, teas, and specialty drinks with alternative milks including coconut and macadamia. The Maple Chai was delicious.

Pros: Lots of flavors, Good drinks, Nice area

Best Donuts Great Coffee

I went here intending to have one donut but ended up eating 2! Most options were vegan. The front porch was a perfect place to hang with my pups, enjoying donuts and coffee, before leaving Charlotte. Pepperbox, if I'm ever in Charlotte again, I will be back!

Pros: Friendly, Atmosphere, Mostly Vegan

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Vegan yeast donuts, yay. We ordered for delivery in the afternoon so the donuts weren’t the freshest and the assortment was random. Overall, pretty good.

Fully Vegan Doughnut shop

Pepperbox is a completely vegan doughnut shop with a few locations around Charlotte, NC. I’ve ate their plenty of times, But my only complaint is the Doughnut batter… it’s chewier than most vegan doughnuts I’ve had in the past. I prefer the “cake” battered donuts instead of the doughnuts batter at Pepperbox (seems like it’s more yeast-based).

Aside from that, the doughnuts do taste great & the actual doughnut flavors are always spot on!! They have plenty of options & they change doughnut flavors per each season (spring, fall, etc.)

Pros: Taste

Cons: Chewy

Very tasty and not too sweet!

Sometimes you get doughnuts and the sweetness is overpowering… not these doughnuts! They’re very tasty without being overly sweet! I really enjoyed the strawberry frosted doughnut. The frosting tasted like real strawberries! I’d definitely eat here again.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: A little pricey

Pretty good donut

Wasn’t the best vegan donut that I’ve ever had but it was pretty good. Not sure I’d go thru the headache of trying to find parking but if you have a donut addictions, I’d give this place a try.

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Parking

Mostly vegan!

I think all but one donut was vegan in this place. That’s rare in my opinion. Not only were they clearly labeled (the non-vegan one had eggs), but they were absolutely gorgeous. Tasted just as great as they looked. I had a hard time finding the place as it’s tucked in a little alley but other than that, great.

Pros: Almost all vegan, Lots of drink options

Cons: Expensive - $7 for two donuts

Best. Doughnuts. Ever.

We live in Fort Mill, SC, but make regular trips out to Pepperbox because we’re addicted. My favorites are the Strawberry Iced and Sprinkles! They constantly have new flavors and they’re all great! If I could live next door I would…. I’d also be very fat but very happy. 😍🍩

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Very knowledgeable about their offerings , Tasty drinks as well!

Cons: Not everything is vegan, Parking can be a little hard depending on the day, They may run out before you get there, be wary!

Best Vegan doughnuts I’ve had anywhere!

Every doughnut offered except one (Boston creme) was vegan!!! Tried four and all were excellent.
Iced coffee delicious. Used condensed coconut milk.
Highly recommend.

Incredible doughnuts

I tried really, really hard not to eat all three at once. But they got the best of me. The owners are pastry chefs or something like that so they know the flavors and textures and these taste like regular doughnuts tasted before I went vegan, but *much* better and from healthier ingredients. The peach fritter, mango habanero and cinnamon bourbon were all outstanding. There can be a little wait and they do sell out so plan your visit accordingly.

Pros: Almost all flavors vegan, Great taste and textures

Cons: Only drip coffee, no espresso

Yummy donuts!!

I got the lemon poppy seed and the Oreo cheesecake—the Oreo cheesecake was definitely my favorite! I took my mom who is not vegan or vegetarian and she got the regular glazed donut and loved it!!

Absolutely Delicious!!

Very clean and neat inside. The employees were very outgoing and showed us the three non-vegan doughnuts (honey). It was so warm and welcoming, plus the goodies are absolutely delicious. They’re much better than any non-vegan doughnut I’ve ever had. So wonderful!!!!

Great Variety

The majority of donuts they offer are vegan. The toppings and glaze are what makes them vegan or not. The hibiscus jelly donut is 🤤. I tried a limited time blood orange one last week, which I think is my new favorite.

Pros: TONS of great flavors & always have new ones , Friendly , Clear labeling

Cons: Parking is a [censored], I wish they had an espresso machine

Good Doughnuts

The base doughnut is so good, these doughnuts don't really need fancy toppings. But if you want them, there are plenty of fancy topping options available. I also got some great warm mulled apple cider, which is a wonderful alternative in the winter months for people who don't like coffee.

Pros: Doughnuts taste good

Cons: Not a lot of seating
