Fresh Out of the Fryer
A Full Case, Every Morning
Yeast and cake donuts, fritters by the handful, and the classics you grew up on. We fry through the early hours so the case is stacked when we open.
Maple Bars
Long, glazed, classic. The one people grab two of.
Glazed Old-Fashioneds
Crisp edges, tender cake center, that fluffy-light glaze.
Maple Sprinkle White Cake
A regular's pick for the best donut they've ever had.
Thursday Blueberry Fritter
A midweek special folks make a real trip for.
Custard-Filled Rings
Pillowy yeast donuts with chocolate frosting on top.
Cinnamon Stacks & Cake Donuts
Cinnamon-sugar, raised and cake, a full case every morning.
Selection changes through the morning, and the best picks go early, especially Thursday through Sunday.
“100x better than any other shop in the couve. All of their donuts are supremely well executed.”

Our Little Corner
A Real Neighborhood Donut Shop
We’re Donut Nook, a little shop tucked on NE St Johns Rd in Vancouver. Our mornings start before sunrise so the case is full and fresh the minute we unlock the door.
We’re not a chain and we don’t cut corners. Just classic glazed and old-fashioneds, maple bars, custard-filled rings and a rotation of fritters, made the way we’d want them ourselves.
Pull up a couch, grab a coffee, and stay a while. We’re proud this corner has become a comfortable gathering spot for the couve.

What People Say
Loved Across the Couve
I ate 5. That's how amazing the donuts are. 100x better than any other shop in the couve. All of their donuts are supremely well executed, the classic glaze yeast donut was so fluffy and light. The owner assisted me and he was so nice in recommending what to try.
I think the maple sprinkle white cake is the best donut I've ever had! Always fast, friendly service. I happily make the drive to Donut Nook to get the best donuts I've had since I was a kid!
Absolutely awesome place. Just incredible! They went above and beyond in giving me a spectacular experience. Highly recommend getting your sweet treats from this place for the freshest, best doughnuts in the PNW!
The donuts are the best around. Thursday's blueberry fritter is worth a special trip, but it's the atmosphere and employees that make it truly feel special, a genuinely comfortable gathering spot.
