San Antonio’s Cake Thieves Bakery & Eatery, a purveyor of plant based baked goods, is celebrating National Donut Day, which falls on Friday, June 7, with a shoutout from animal rights group PETA.

Virginia-based PETA — which stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals — posted a list on its website of its favorite U.S. bakeries and restaurants that make delectable donuts without relying on eggs or butter.

After years running a commissary operation and making sweets for other SA dining spots, Cake Thieves in April 2022 opened its first brick-and-mortar storefront at 1602 E. Houston St. The business is known not just for its donuts but also plant-based toaster pastries, croissants, muffins and more.

PETA’s list of top-notch vegan donut makers also includes Bitchin’ Donuts of Albany, New York; Little Vessels Donut Co. of Honolulu and Yellow Rose Vegan Bakery & Cafe of Maplewood, New Jersey.
