Our Story

From Our Kitchen to Your Heart:

The Sweet Story of Donut I Love U

In a world where convenience often overshadows connection, people crave more—they long for comfort, love, and a sense of community.

Unfortunately, indulgent gluten-free options that satisfy without sacrificing taste are hard to find. That’s why we created Donut I Love U.

Founded by Mithoon and Lindsey, who grew up in homes where food was an expression of love shared by their grandmothers, set out to craft gluten-free donuts that deliver joy and indulgence without compromise.

Each donut is a reminder to slow down, savor life, and enjoy the simple pleasure of something delicious. We believe that love is the key ingredient, and every order is an opportunity to connect and spread joy.

Locally Loved

We’re honored to be cherished across North and South Carolina, drawing guests from near and far—some traveling over three hours to experience our gluten-free donuts.

Our fresh, indulgent treats have built a loyal following among those with gluten restrictions and everyone who loves a truly delicious donut.

It's not uncommon for families and groups of friends, where only one person follows a gluten-free diet, to end up indulging together—a rare feat with today’s gluten-free options.

We invite you to join our growing community, where everyone belongs and no one has to compromise on flavor.
