About Peace, Love & Little Donuts

In 2009 Ron and Marci open the first Peace, Love, and Little Donuts in one of America's most livable cities, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Located Directly in the Strip District. In creating our Groovy, Far Out and Funkadelic flavors we knew that we could n't lose the incredible taste of our old fashion cake donut. With that in mind each donut was created so that with every bite you would taste our fresh, warm donut, the subtle flavor of our frostings and our crazy selection of Funkadelic toppings; with no one flavor overwhelming the others. All of our stores work hard to make sure that you enjoy those flavors as we intended them from the beginning.
