Now open: Pepperbox Doughnuts’ eagerly-anticipated NoDa location
Remember when we said that vegan is “in” when it comes to 2021 food trends? Well Pepperbox Doughnuts got the memo. The chef-driven doughnut shop, which uses a yeast-raised vegan base for its doughnuts, opened its second location in NoDa on Tuesday.
“It’s always been our goal to open multiple locations,” owner Alex Beebe said. “We consider ourselves very lucky with everything going on in terms of COVID that we were really already set up to be “to go” so it didn’t have to change much to keep employees and customers safe.”
The 1,600 square-foot shop is at 2810 N. Davidson St., near Heist Brewing and Brooks’ Sandwich House. The new Pepperbox has a cafe totaling about 800 square feet of seating space, occupying an old mill house.
From its days as a pop-up doughnut shop, to its first brick-and-mortar store in South End (just across from the Confetti Hearts Wall), owners Nate DeVillers and Beebe have always kept it creative when coming up with unique flavors that go beyond your typical glazed and sprinkle covered doughnuts (though don’t get us wrong, those are important, too).
Flavors like Sea Salt Milk Chocolate, Olive Oil and Tangerine Glazed, and White Chocolate Cranberry are just a few examples of the tasty chef-driven creations you can find at the South End shop.
Pepperbox Doughnuts is using this location expansion to also expand its offerings. A full espresso and coffee bar, as well as a vegan breakfast sandwich made with vegan sausage, egg and cheese will be available at both locations.
In addition to its current brick-and-mortar location in South End, Pepperbox Doughnuts also offers catering services.
