Last Saturday I attended the grand opening of Dough Yo’s vegan doughnut shop in Southend and I had the privilege of being the first ever customer!
Dough Yo’s is run by my friend Nathan who is a very active member of the Essex vegan activism community, with Matt of Veg Heads cooking up burgers and hotdogs in the kitchen. The cafĂ© is on Queen Street just off the High Street so very easy to get to.
I went with a few friends and it was great to see the long queue forming when we got there just before they opened. We also saw a few other friends while we were there. Us vegans love our doughnuts!
I went for a hot dog, coffee and chocolate hazelnut doughnut and it was all fabulous.
There were many different doughnuts on offer so I bought a “Homer” home for my Husband and my friends enjoyed some other delights.
So when you’re next in Southend I highly recommend you head down to Dough Yo’s and get your fill of vegan treats!
