They don’t call it sin city for nothing. Any vices, desires or cravings you might have (including those that you didn’t know you have), any pleasure you seek, this is where you will find fulfillment. Even those of us who like our guilty pleasures animal free and cruelty free can find nirvana here.

Of all guilty pleasures, few are guiltier than donuts. Just look at Homer Simpson’s waistline for proof. But there are times when waistline considerations must be moved aside, and a visit to Ronald’s Donuts is one of those times.

If you just happened to drive by Ronald’s Donuts, you’d never know that what awaits you inside are some of the most decadent and delicious vegan pastries west of the Rockies. There’s nothing visible outside or even inside to distinguish Ronald’s from your typical neighborhood donut shop. But ask the folks behind the counter which items are vegan and you’ll be directed to all but about ten percent of the pastries in the case.

Ronald’s has almost all of the typical donut shop staples, and yes, they’re vegan. Glazed donuts, cream filled donuts, raspberry turnovers, apple turnovers, apple burritos, apple fritters, bear claws, maple sticks, donut holes, and much more. You won’t find an Old Dirty Bastard here, and not to worry, you won’t miss it. Ronald’s is not about edgy or unconventional. The only thing unconventional about Ronald’s is that most of the items are vegan.

Oh, and did I mention that almost everything is vegan? I would even venture a guess that most customers at Ronald’s don’t even know it. These donuts taste just like the donuts I used to eat as a kid: Light, fluffy and sugary sweet. If I had to pick a favorite it would be the chocolate covered cream filled or the glazed donuts. Or maybe the apple fritter that tastes like the perfect donut crossed with apple pie. Or possibly the donut holes—those round, airy, bite sized pieces of sugary delight. You probably get the picture…way too many to pick just one favorite.

But there’s no need to pick a favorite. Just have the friendly owners put one, or five, of each variety into a pink box and watch how quickly they disappear. Vegan food doesn’t get much more sinful than this, but compared to the other sins that can be committed in Vegas, eating Ronald’s Donuts might almost make you a saint.
