Started by college friends Christopher Hollowell and Dan Dunbar, Dun-Well Doughnuts began as an answer to the lack of vegan doughnuts available in NYC. After watching a Simpson’s episode that focused on Homer’s love for this treat, Christopher was inspired to call up Dan and discuss dessert – and the rest is history.

Take the L train to the Montrose station for doughnut heaven.
