Whackdonuts!
Owner: Vandor Hill
I got back into baking during the height of the pandemic which eventually led to me starting my own business. A friend gave me a recipe to try out and before I knew it I had a lot of donuts in my kitchen and began sharing with friends. This was also a way for me to deal with the grief of losing family & friends back to back from 2017-2019, my grandmother, mom, aunt, and mentor. It was at that point that it was suggested I do something with my donuts which led me to buy some boxes and create a logo. My homegirl from high school let me pop up at her family’s cafe, a DJ Mr.E aka al pastor papi put in a good word for me with a local brewery where I was able to pop up for over a year. The thing I’m most proud of is getting my donuts into Rainbow Grocery five days a week my pop-up collaboration with Malibu Burgers, and getting featured in SF eater, VegOut, and Live in the Bay, all the while fighting eviction by myself.
