Pizza Plaza for Vegan pizza, Oakland Pepple's doughnut for vegan doughnuts, West Oakland Coracao Confections - vegan chocolates, Emeryville East Bay Express article: http://www.eastbayexpress.com/ebx/PrintFriendly?oid=947191 Wed Mar 18 17:54:53 -0700 2009 10677 hhc 1 4518185 It looks like People's Donuts moved from Berkeley to Oakland and changed their name. http://www.peoplesdonuts.com http://www.pepplesdonuts.com/about I can't imagine they are different. If not, I'd sue if I was People's Donuts. I like them. Some people don't. There's reports in the Place. link. Tried to add a link for Pepple';s, but it seems yet another thing is broken due to site enhancements. I'm not going to waste my time reporting this no longer works because it won't get fixed. What's the point. Wed Mar 18 19:58:44 -0700 2009 4517928 10264 rworange 2 4519751 I love People's donuts, which used to be carried by Rainbow grocery but not any longer. That's quite a mystery about pepplesdonuts.com vs. peoplesdonuts.com. They both have the same distribution (Ritual Roasters, etc.) but pepplesdonuts.com is registered and hosted by people who live in Pheonix, AZ. Now that I know where to buy them again, maybe I need to do some comparison tasting between Dynamo and People's donuts. My few Dynamo samples so far have been good, but didn't strike me as way better than People's. I generally think Vegan baked goods are an utter waste of time, but donuts are really just refined flour, sugar, and fat, so it matters less whether the source is animal or vegetable...

We moved a year ago, we started at the Eclair Bakery in Berkeley but they are now closed. We are planning on opening a retail outlet in Oakland, 54th & San Pablo Avenue.

I like d all the truffles I tried but the Coconut one pushed it over for me. And they were really pretty. :) More vegan coco: http://sacredchocolate.com/ Looks too new age, tastes great! I love pizza pazza. Especially since the slices are freshly made! I go veggie there all the time. Sun Mar 22 16:30:43 -0700 2009 4524442 209117 jade408 1 4528293 I had one of their donuts at Philz and it was inedible. Between me and my donut-loving child, we couldn't even finish half of one donut before it was tossed. Sun Mar 22 16:59:07 -0700 2009 4517928 10658 Atomica 1 4528537 Whole Foods in SF on 4th sells People's Donuts, as do a few cafes along Upper Haight. I love Pizza Plaza--too bad it's in Oakland and not SF! My fave by far is the veggie Hawaiian. Pineapple and faux ham-yum:) Sun Mar 22 18:36:00 -0700 2009 4517928 136252 rahir 1 4533222 Wow, thanks for the recs! I had heard of Pizza Plaza from the Ethical Pizza blog. Will be sure to hit that up. Can anyone compare People's Donuts to Dee's Donuts in L.A.? We have some awesome vegan junk food in L.A. but I like seeing SF's spin on things. There's also this vegan hoagie place in Oakland I read about somewhere, with free wi-fi, but I can't remember the name. I wanted to try that place as well.
