A better doughnut?

A potentially controversial opinion: Vegan doughnuts are superior to regular doughnuts. The lightweight, dairy-free and baked dough of Conscious Creamery’s lemon poppyseed doughnut won’t weigh you down for the rest of the day. A smooth glaze of citrus cracks as you bite into it, and a jaunty wedge of dried lemon adds visual flair. Poppyseeds dot the moist cake for a fun pop. If you’re more of a chocolate person, try their almond chocolate doughnut—a fudgelike ring studded with crunchy nuts. Find it at Identity Coffees (1430 28th Street) or pop-up locations around town. www.consciouscreamery.com.
