FIELD TRIP: Jack’s Donuts

On a tip from Miss Rachel’s Pantry, we discovered that you can find homemade vegan donuts 20 minutes down the White Horse Pike (or a 15-minute walk from Lindenwold Speedline) in scenic South Jersey.

Jack’s Donuts (503 White Horse Pike, Laurel Springs, N.J., 856-627-0431) is a charming greasy spoon with homemade donuts that just so happen to be dairy-free (save for chocolate). The Apple Crumb (pictured) doubles as an insane trip through an orchard of the mind. My partner says she hasn’t eaten a donut like this since she went vegan seven years ago, and it takes me back to that fateful box of Little Debbie’s Donut Sticks that kicked off my more conversion. Other donuts on deck include vanilla creme (yes, they are vegan!), pumpkin spice and jelly.

Jack’s also serves up traditional diner farem like omelettes and sandwiches with home fries and endless coffee. It’s the kind of place where friends of all eating persuasions can gather ’round the counter and rap over Sunday breakfast. Do it now, while dipping the pumpkin spice in your coffee is seasonally appropriate, and you can still catch some of that Garden State foliage on your trip down Route 30.
