As if we didn’t already know.

In preparation for that most glorious of recognized holidays, National Doughnut Day on June 6th, PETA set out to find the top six vegan friendly doughnut shops in the US. Beating out the well known Portland fave, Voodoo Doughnut, who received honorable mention, Le Cave’s – who has been baking up delicious vegan doughnuts since 1935 – took 6th place.

The winners are as follows:

  1. Mighty-O Donuts (Seattle)
  2. Vegan Treats (Bethlehem, PA)
  3. Ronald’s Donuts (Las Vegas)
  4. Pepples Organic Donuts (Bay Area)
  5. Tandem Doughnuts (Missoula)
  6. Le Cave’s (Tucson)

Honorable Mention

  1. Voodoo Doughnut
  2. Donut Friend

For nearly 20 years, Diana and Jun Arai have helped shape Tucson’s Japanese dining scene.

When @ginzatucson opened in 2008, it became the first restaurant in Tucson to feature an izakaya style menu, bringing Japan’s popular shareable dining experience to the city. Today, it’s still the only restaurant in town with a dedicated izakaya menu, along with one of Tucson’s largest curated selections of sake, Japanese beer, and shochu.

In 2018, the couple expanded again with @raijinramen, Tucson’s first restaurant dedicated entirely to ramen. Known for its rich tonkotsu broths and seasonal specialties, Raijin helped pave the way for the city’s growing ramen scene.

From fresh fish flown in daily from Japan and California to chef’s choice omakase experiences, Ginza continues to showcase authentic Japanese cuisine while Jun and Diana regularly travel to Japan to bring back the latest culinary trends.

📍 Ginza Sushi & Izakaya: 5425 N. Kolb Rd.
📍 Raijin Ramen: 2955 E. Speedway Blvd.

Fourth Ave., taking over the former Bawker Bawker Cider House with a Western-inspired concept. 

Expect Bawker Bawker’s signature ciders, @rayrayssonoran tea, local craft beer, $3 shot specials, $4 select drafts, premium spirits, and oversized frozen Frosé and margaritas served in cowboy boots.

The bar is currently in its soft opening, with an official grand opening planned for early August.
