Donut Friend
Donut Friend makes its donuts entirely vegan at its Highland Park shop on York Boulevard, with a second shop downtown. Its published FAQ is direct about what that means for allergy diners: the donuts contain no egg or dairy, they are fried in soybean oil, some fillings and toppings do contain nuts and soy, and the donuts are not gluten-free. That candour makes it a useful listing for milk and egg allergies specifically, and an honest exclusion for gluten. Flavour names riff on band names, and the case rotates through filled, glazed and cake donuts.

ConfidentDiner collects allergen and preparation information from restaurants’ published materials, from restaurants themselves, and from diners. Information is dated and sourced, but menus, ingredients, suppliers, staff, and kitchen practices change without notice, and cross-contact can occur in any non-dedicated kitchen. Nothing on this site is medical advice or a guarantee that any restaurant or dish is safe for any individual. Always tell the restaurant about your allergy, confirm current practices directly before ordering, and make your own decision with your medical professional’s guidance.
