Reviews of The Hot Donut

A. D.

Bought 3 donuts for 8.50. Oreo flavoured was very good, filling is very strong with white chocolate and the donut was soft. We got two but one was a lot more stale, because we went later on in the day. Their kinder bueno filled donuts do not taste like kinder. The filling reminded me of sugary wafers which was too overpowering.

P. G.

An absolute gem! They have the best donuts in town with so many flavours to choose from (including vegan). The staff is lovely, always happy to help and coffee is very tasty ☕️🍩. They have a donut for every pocket with different "donut of the day" each day for 2 euros and offer a 10% student discount 🤩 100% recommend!

P. G.

A quick update! For the six week lockdown you can't sit outside, but you can still get the incredible tasting donuts, and coffee to go. Hopefully when the lockdown is lifted, it will be possible to sit outside again. Very impressed in these Covid times to see staff disenfecting tables immediately after each use. The friendly service of the staff and the social distancing of tables made this a venue I will definitely make as one of my regular stops in town. The donuts were incredible! Such a fantastic choice of flavours, they even have vegan donuts! I had the Bailey's donut with a latte. Oh! The rich Bailey's cream on the inside was indescribable! I plan to work my way through their entire range! They have outdoor seating, some of it under large outdoor umbrellas and they have a reward card system for each time you eat there. Minimum payment is 5 euro which is well worth it for the quality of the donuts, variety of drinks, location and most importantly, friendly, professional staff. I'm posting photos of the range if donuts, so read the creations and drool!

This place is amazing! This prices are not that cheap but worth EVERY penny. Being American this donut spot can go heads up with any place in America as far as donuts. I only wish they had cold coffee like frappuccinos, etc. But don't let that stop you because with the week I visited Dublin I think me and my family went 3 times. Keep up the good work and we will be back when visiting your city again. :)

Amazing place and super friendly staff. Donuts are delicious and they have the coolest flavors. Definitely a must visit. I was from Canada and they did their absolute best to accommodate my cream for my coffee. Edit this is from September 2019

J. S.

Awesome Donuts 🍩 and a very tasty coffee. Don’t go there if you are on a diet :)

S. S.

Great donuts, they have many flavours including vegan. The snickers one it’s delicious. Fair price and friendly staff.

S. L.

The WIDEST variety of vegan donuts!! Not only are these absolutely freaking delicious, they also have the NICEST coffee! Just perfect combination, 10/10.

C. L. S.

The donuts were super yummy and I've tried raspberry with cheese and chocolate with orange ones. Not over sweet and the dough was soft and tasty. I was amazed by them and especially the one just came out from oven and still warm, almost melt my heart. I came on the first day I arrived Dublin and could not help come back to have more before I left. The owner is a nice and friendly mam who asked for our suggestions for the donuts.

N. J.

Brilliant place for donuts and coffee! Love to see the vegan options. The vegan chocolate donut (tastes like Polish pączki) was amazing.

D. D.

Really flavorful donuts with different fillings, not to greasy. They have a nice vegan variety. The coffee is also really good and smells really nice. The staff was super friendly and talking to us from the moment we went it.

J. G.

Alberto, the argentinian barista made me a great flatwhite. I tried pistachio Donuts and it was so nice.

I. S.

Donuts fantastics and cappuccino very good.

M. B.

amazing donuts. ordered this at 11:30 at night on deliveroo n was kinda sus when we saw the place closes at 9:30. we were expecting some pretty stale old dumpster ‘nuts. BuT! they were respectfully not-too stale at all. definitely the least stale donuts i’ve ever eaten. the dough of the vegan donuts were definitely better than their non-vegan counterparts. keep it up <3

A. B.

The donuts are very creative and delicious but be careful as they are super filling. If you're going in for a look and want to try a few different ones I'd recommend the salted caramel and Bailey's donuts. You can also save a few quid by buying 3 for 6 I believe

J. S.

The donuts were amazing. I probably had the best hot chocolate of my life. Seating was available for people watching. Loved it!!

S. M.

Lovely coffee shop, full of friendly faces ! The staff are brilliant and the coffee is good too. Any donut I've tried has also been amazing. See you soon! (Lots and lots of Vanilla Girl)

J. P.

This is the best coffee and donut shop I've been too. The coffee is amazing and the donuts are home made. Gorgeous. The staff are really friendly. I just wish there was one in Swansea. If you're in Dublin I cannot recommend this place enough

G. B.

Great buzz about the place. Fantastically fresh doughnuts including a whole vegan range. Be sure to drop boy and fill up on calories :-)

R. R.

Good place to enjoy with a delicious donuts!

T. S.

Very pretty donuts that attract you from the sidewalk while passing by. We purchased 3 donuts around 8pm to take back to our hotel room. We were excited to try them but disappointment set in with our first bit, the donuts were stale. Perhaps if you buy them first thing in the morning the experience would be better but we won’t be back due to the staleness we encountered.

A. J.

Love love love the place !!!! ♥️ The hot donut has my heart 🥰

D. O.

Lovely flat white and tasty apple & cinnamon snicker. Seats available in front the Spire and GPO.

Just the best Donuts! Friendly and helpful staff

V. N.

L. P.

O.M.G just the best donuts I ever ate! At once cheap, delicious and big; plus a lovely staff!

V. K.

The donuts are good but the dough is a little to greasy

S. {. D.

Great coffee! But also the staff! Let me leave my phone to charge inside while I drank my coffee outside after missing my bus. Was majorly stressed but they sorted me out! Thank you!

A. P.

7eur for donut maybe to expensive, no matter how tasty it is. Coffee as casual coffee, also 7eur.

P. A. d. S.

The best Iced Mocha ❤ Very good service and staff's

B. A. H.

Fresh coffee and doughnuts not much of a selection still nice doughnuts and seating outside worth a visit if passing by.

K. G.

The best flat white coffee I've had in Dublin and the doughnuts are deadly 🤤 grab a coffee here and walk the street of Dublin

J. T.

A more rustic style of donut than Rolling Donut of Offbeat, and it has lots of vegan options. Had the Raspberry Cheesecake donut which was delicious with chunks of cheesecake inside.

B. K.

It was just ok . I think the donuts could be smaller. But I needed a caffeine and sugar fix , so they did the job .

Y. Y.

Our hotel was just beside this place, so my husband and I had donuts from this place twice. We found prices a bit expensive. We were having box of 3 for 7.50 e. Original icing sugar donuts were soooo tasty both times. One jam donut was 2 out of 5. My husband was taking always Bailey's donuts, he said those are so delicious. Packaging is nice and comfortable. Nice place, best recommendations!

D. G.

Wonderful spot near our hotel. So many delicious varieties, and a very welcoming staff!

A. B.

I love their donuts!!!! Snickers one is by faaaar the best one ever

A. A.

I am a person who loves coffee very much, but I also like to drink coffee from paper cups that look nice. For coffee I offer 8 out of 10 but for the paper cup 10/10, it looks super cute. That day I searched all over the city for the coffee in the paper cup with Santa's hat on it:)))

T. C.

Great treat..Friendly staff..Will definitely go back when we're in Dublin again ❤👍🍩🍪

J. W.

Great coffee, friendly staff and amazing fresh Donuts!

A. B.

Decisions, decisions. I think we choose right. It was later on in the day so not as fresh as I had expected but still very good.

R. 4.

Good coffee, great selection of donuts and the staff are very nice

R. R.

I went to this place in evening time where they were about to close but they allowed us to buy donut and hit coffee and sit outside.. i really like hot chocolate but without marshmellows and caramel donut if they serve hot.

Donuts that are not exactly warm/hot/fresh. One has minimal filling in it :( but they have a promo of 3 for €7.50

K. G.

Best donuts in Dublin city center imo

M. B.

The coffee and donuts are out of this world! Especially the raspberry cheesecake WOW!

W. M.

Love the coffee staff so friendly recommend to everyone my sons love the coffee keep up the brillant work you are all doing

N. O.

I ordered some to be delivered to a friend, and they were kind enough to add an extra note with his box of donuts. Really kind and can’t wait to try them myself! Lovely business owner

W. B.

5 stars for the mind blowing staff and their behaviour, but 1 star for the donuts! While me and my wife were confused about the flavours, the staff in there gave us quite a few tastings too. We bought a box of 6. 3 vegan jam donuts and 3 cheesecakes (blueberry, cherry and raspberry). The vegan donuts were great but the cheesecakes were horrible. They all tasted the same in spite of being named differently. There was nothing inside. We dropped in to complain again and got a very polite response from the staff. She apologised and asked us if we want her to connect us to the manager and also offered to replace the donuts. I have always heard Indians works really hard irrespective of their job roles and are best when it comes to hygiene & hospitality. Saw it live at the hot donut. We will surely drop in again to try out their coffee over the weekend.

M. F.

Stopped in after a day of sightseeing last month go grab a snack to tide us over until dinner. I got the 3 for €7.50 deal. So good! Loved the lemon and the salted caramel was to die for. The boston cream was ok. Nothing wrong with it but just didn't have the wow like the other two. The donuts were fresh and fluffy. The fillings were generous and none were too sweet. The caramel wasn't overly sweet or salty which takes skill to get that perfect balance. Had a hot chocolate to go - perfection! I don't even really care for donuts that much (outvoted by the others) and loved these. We were so excited to try them, we forgot to take a photo. Such a shame 'cause they were gorgeous too. Highly recommend.

V. P.

Best donuts with wide varieties!

L. F.

Flavourful donuts with a nice vegan range. I don't know if anyone mentioned, but they have really good coffee beans. The staff was super friendly. It's the first time I'm impressed with a donut shop. Well done!

D. M.

Very good donuts.. With a wide variety... You can get anything you want here. We are from the US and we thought they had a great choice of "fancy" donuts.. They were priced well. It was a good stop after a very salty fish and chips. Just across from the spire... It is worth a stop. Our favorite was some kind of oreo caramel creation.

C. D.

They have got the best staff. I was here yesterday with a group of 4. We bought 4 donut and coffee combo. And after finishing it, bought a box of 3 to take home. The Brazilian girl spoke to us so well. She was so excited talking to us and asking us where we were from. Loved the way she see us off. Thank you for the amazing hospitality at The Hot Donut.

Y. N. C.

This place is a real gem, the donuts are beautiful and each one is unique. The staff though are especially great, I'd keep coming back because they are genuinely very nice to customers. If you're looking for a happy, upbeat place with gorgeous treats too then this is the place, go! 😘⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🍩

Nicest donuts in ireland. Was gonna take a pic but i ate 6 within a minute. Totes delish loike 🤤🤤🤤

B. C.

I haven't tried the donuts yet but the coffee is some of the best coffee I've had in Dublin. Will def come back for another coffee and a donut next time!

L. M.

The donuts themselves are okay, but they really have no clue what a Boston cream is. I ordered from deliveroo so there was no photo, and what they sent had no chocolate on top, and they also ruined the cream by adding alcohol to it so it just tastes weird and boozy. The entire point of a Boston cream is the combination of chocolate and cream and how well they go together. 😕

M. M.

This place is amazing, best donuts in Dublin! The donuts are beautiful, the flavors are amazing and the staff is specially great. I always keep coming back because they are always very kind and the donuts are really good!

I. M.

All sorts of tasty donuts and coffee, cappuccino, double espresso to not forget the polite ladies that are working there.

R. M.

These doughnuts are delicious. I tried them twice to make sure that the first time wasn't a fluke. The plain doughnut was awesome, the dough is very light and fluffy. Not dry, not greasy. The boston cream is second on the list for me. The oreo doughnut is outrageously sweet, but it delicious. The cheesecake doughnut, was good but they don't use real vanilla in the filling, it tasted like essence and not extract so there was something slightly artificial tasting about it. The texture and taste of the dough and the creaminess of the filling made up for it. So the overall experience was good, but I wouldn't order it again. This is a must try for anyone looking for a good doughnut.

S. T.

A vibrant little place, best staff, great coffee, 100’s of donuts and busy always. This place is heaven on earth. Walked in around 9 PM with my son and my wife, spent nearly 40 mins in the cafe. Didn’t feel like leaving the place. The hot donut, please open one branch in Portugal 🇵🇹.

A. F.

On our last day in Dublin, I went in to buy one donut at the hot donut with my husband before heading back to Dubai, the Staff in no time convinced us to buy a box of 6. All the donuts were amazing and as Anji said “you will surely crave for more, our donuts are very addictive” I am actually craving for them right now. Please consider opening a branch in Dubai. I’ll surely visit again if I travel this way again.

S. S.

First time in Ireland and was really craving some good doughnuts. Stumbled acrossThe Hot Donut and it was lovely. Great, friendly service and delicious donuts and cappuccino. We had the cheesecake donut, kinder bueno and white chocolate. If you are looking for a cute, quaint little cafe style place, I highly recommend!

T. P.

Got to visit this place on my trip to Dublin on 12th of April. The flat white they serve is the best. The girls at the cafe are extremely friendly. One was Indian and one Brazilian. The best duo I must say after seeing the way they coordinated. So good to see a polish cafe not being racial and hiring people from different countries. I will visit the hot donut again every time on my work trips to Dublin.

o. k.

Fantastic donuts and probably the best donuts in Dublin. I had the rose flavoured, kinder bueno and blueberries and all are recommended.

J. M.

J. F.

Fantastic donuts, fresh, soft but chewy dough. Not too heavy like so many donuts these days. Loads of vegan options too! A lovely family run business.

M. F.

Had a lovely cappuccino here. Staff very nice. Very clea .

L. V.

I eat one donut from the hot donut every day and, to be honest, I love it! My favs are rafaello, blueberry cheesecake and oreo! The coffee is strong and also the best in city!

R. B.

Favourite donut shop in Dublin- so many vegan options and super friendly staff.

A. K.

Amazing, fresh and tasty donuts! The vegan salted caramel is my favourite so far, and it is massive in comparison to some of the other donuts you can get in town

K. R.

Buzzzzzz, Gambi is lovely and very welcoming. A short conversation with him today along with the coffee that he made turned out to be very boosting for me today. He passes on good vibes very quickly. Lovely little space, open kitchen, friendly staff, great coffee and lovely selection of donuts. Good service and very decent seating area.. Will definitely go again.

Very good donuts actually the best donuts I ever ate

O. O.

Great donuts. The bacon and cheese was terrible but I should have known better. The sweet donuts I’ve tried were savage.

S. L. N.

Amazing donuts and super amazing staff. They offered to make a hot chocolate for my daughter with special needs, at just the right temperature so that she could drink it easily.

(Translated) I went a few days ago for a donut and none of those who were serving wore a mask. They talk and interact with you and each other without a mask and then serve you those donuts, that is, there is not a minimum of care with everything that is happening with Covid19. It is a fabulous place with delicious donuts, but please wear a mask and force or recommend its use to enter the establishment. It is so small that it is not possible to respect the 2 meters of distance, because at least, use masks. Thank you. (Original) Fui hace unos días a por un donut y ninguno de los que servían llevaban mascarilla. Hablan e interactúan contigo y entre si sin mascarilla y te sirven luego esos donuts, es decir, no hay ni un mínimo de cuidado con todo lo que está pasando con la Covid19. Es un sitio fabuloso con unos donuts riquísimos, pero por favor, póngase mascarilla e obliguen or recomienden su uso para entrar al establecimiento. Es tan pequeño que no se puede respetar los 2 metros de distancia, pues al menos, utilicen mascarillas. Gracias.
