Fry Baby Donuts Is Back, and the Lines Are Already Out the Door

By Jessica Lombardi|Posted: Mar 26, 2026 / 8:41 AM UTC

Ann Hogan has relaunched her beloved vegan doughnut shop, and Buffalo's plant-based community is very, very happy about it.

WHY IT MATTERS: A beloved local business coming back on its own terms โ€” with better hours and a committed following โ€” is exactly the kind of story Buffalo's food scene needs right now.

Here's some good news to balance the week out: Fry Baby Donuts is back. Founder Ann Hogan, who first launched the shop at 26, has relaunched it at 35 with better hours and a more reliable stock โ€” two things her loyal customers had been begging for.

The early response has answered any question about whether demand was still there. Lines have been real, the excitement on social media has been louder than ever, and it's clear Buffalo's vegan community never stopped wanting what Fry Baby was offering.

For a city that's come a long way in terms of plant-based options, having a dedicated vegan bakery back in the mix means something. It fills a gap that a lot of people felt when the shop was gone.
