<\/p>\nCHARLOTTE, N.C. \u2014 Donut I Love U is changing the way customers think about gluten-free treats with fresh, made-to-order donuts topped with colorful, customizable creations.<\/p>\n
Donut I Love U serves 100% gluten-free donuts, meaning there is no gluten anywhere on the truck. Food truck manager Oliver Vess said creating a completely gluten-free environment allows customers with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease to enjoy donuts without worrying about cross-contamination.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re entirely gluten free, 100%. No gluten on the entire truck at all,\u201d Vess said.<\/p>\n
Unlike traditional donut shops, every donut is made only after a customer orders. The rice flour-based dough is freshly prepared, cooked in about 90 seconds and finished with toppings ranging from whipped cream and chocolate to caramel and more.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything is made to order,\u201d Vess said. \u201cThere’s nothing cold. Everything is made hot to order.\u201d<\/p>\n
The truck’s name reflects the company’s focus on customer service just as much as its desserts.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe in serving customers and giving everyone the individual attention each guest deserves, with kind service and family values,\u201d Vess said.<\/p>\n
For those hoping to recreate the experience at home, Vess recommends leaving gluten-free donut making to the experts, noting that even small amounts of flour in a home kitchen can contaminate food.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone has flour and contamination in their home, so you have to have a completely gluten-free kitchen to make a really gluten-free donut,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Donut I Love U’s storefront is located at 908 E. 35th St. in Charlotte’s NoDa neighborhood, while the food truck travels throughout the Charlotte area.
