To sprinkle National Donut Day (June 7) with vegan flavor, PETA has concocted a list of the top eateries from across the U.S. that are dishing up the most delectable donuts without relying on eggs or butter—and Houston Street’s own Cake Thieves Bakery & Eatery nabbed a spot on this super-sweet list. The shop offers fun flavors such as Banana Pudding, Cookie Butter, Horchata, Lavender Lime, Strawberry Shortcake, and Vanilla Bean Twist.

“Cake Thieves Bakery & Eatery is dishing up cruelty-free crullers of the highest caliber right in the heart of San Antonio,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “Every aglazeing bakery on PETA’s list proves that melt-in-your-mouth vegan donuts are jelly good to hens and cows as well as humans’ taste buds.”

In the egg and dairy industries, hens and female cows are exploited until their bodies break down and they’re sent to slaughter. Every person who goes vegan saves the lives of nearly 200 animals each year. PETA’s free vegan starter kit can help those looking to make the switch.

Cake Thieves Bakery & Eatery will receive a framed certificate from PETA along with bragging rights. Other winners include Bitchin’ Donuts in Albany, New York; Little Vessels Donut Co. in Honolulu; Level 5 Donuts in Madison, Wisconsin; Yellow Rose Vegan Bakery & Cafe in Maplewood, New Jersey; and Veg. Edible in Omaha, Nebraska.

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat”—points out that Every Animal Is Someone and offers free Empathy Kits for people who need a lesson in kindness. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow the group on X, Facebook, or Instagram.
