Flavor and Taste

Pros:

  • "The flavors were nothing short of a taste explosion, and that single doughnut left me yearning for more."
  • "Vegan donuts that actually taste good! The OG donut tastes sooooo good!"
  • "All of them are so tasty and so unique!the filling was amazing and rich!"
  • "The doughnuts are nice and fluffy and the frosting tastes very nice."
  • "So soft and delicate and sweet without being overpowering."
  • "They’re not cheap at about £4.50 each but they have a great selection and they taste soooo good."
  • "The Bueno Mars doughnut was THE best doughnut I have ever eaten - and I've eaten a lot of doughnuts."
  • "The tasty tasty doughnuts to take away were really just a bonus."

Cons:

  • "Unfortunately, our expectations were not fulfilled and we ended up eating an incredibly sugary donut with no flavor whatsoever."
  • "The Stranger Rings donut was a bit of a letdown—bland and too sweet."
  • "The doughnuts look tasty and very picture worthy although when you bite into them they are quite bland and stale."
  • "The doughnuts are plentiful and customer service is superb. However, they are quite bland and overly sickly sweet."
  • "The Kinder Bueno one was meant to have a hazelnut flavour but it had a flavourless creme inside."
  • "These donuts were not fluffy. They were super dense and chewy (not in the good mochi way)."
  • "The pastry was a bit dry in my opinion and not as soft and fluffy as I would have preferred."
  • "By far the worst doughnut I've had in my life. It was so hard and stale."

Price and Value

Pros:

  • "The prices are excellent considering how large each doughnut is."
  • "Prices are veeeery normal for the quality and the taste."
  • "It wasn’t cheap, set me back £4.75, but it was totally worth it!"
  • "Worth the price to be honest, when you want to have good quality donuts."
  • "All Doughnuts are priced at £4.50, which for the quality of ingredients and size of the items, is very reasonable."
  • "It’s £4 a donut! Think of this as a once in a lifetime donut investment."
  • "If would be possible I would eat them morning-lunch-dinner :D Delicious creamy filling, puffy dough, incredibly tasty."
  • "Even though the price is quite pricey for a doughnut (£4.5), but the size make for it."

Cons:

  • "£5 for a doughnut. F that. Not even that good, too much salt in the 'OG' one I tried."
  • "I'm definitely not a fun of this doughnuts! Firstly I don't think £4.5 it acceptable price for a doughnut."
  • "They are a little pricey at just under £5 a pop, but it sets quite high expectations."
  • "I am giving them 3 stars for innovation, variety and size (huge donut). However, they are quite bland and donut dry (not fresh)."
  • "For £16 for 4 doughnuts you'd like to taste what's promised. Kinder bueno one didn't have even a hint of hazelnut, super sugary."
  • "I felt like extremely guilty interrupting the girl with ginger/brown hair behind the counter as she was trying to reply to her Tinder messages."
  • "One for 4.5 £ a little bit too expensive, I order the one with chocolate crumble on the top and with some ganache dressing without stuffing inside."
  • "I wish I hadn’t bothered. Go to Tesco on Regent Street St James and get a Krispy Kreme as they are just as good....if not better!"

Pros:

  • "Simon was amazing from start to finish. Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and just full of joy."

  • "The service was really slow and the guy serving didn’t know the funky names of his own doughnuts."
  • "Oh my dears! Am I in trouble! This is close to college and after sampling my first one today I am hopelessly addicted and will stay fat forever."
  • "They also offer a loyalty card which is stamped for every doughnut you buy."

Cons:

  • "The whole experience cost £16 for 4 different doughnuts. If you are planning on trying them then get a cup of tea with them as you’ll need it."
  • "All over their socials and website they guaranteed Valentine's Day delivery, yet today DPD haven't even received the package yet from Doughnut Time."
