I'm convinced nothing compares to Allie's Donuts. The sprinkle donut is my go-to. Soft, fluffy, perfectly sweet frosting, and topped with a full rainbow of sprinkles. Just so good. I've tried several other flavors too, and they're all great, but the strawberry frosted is really chef's kiss. They're also the place for donut cakes, especially around the holidays, just be ready to call right when ordering opens because they go fast. Good to know: cash only, plenty of parking, but expect a line on weekends. read more

We stopped at Allie's Donuts as part of the RI Food Fights #TriplePlay tour & it is still one of my favorite donut stores in all of Rhode Island! I went with a classic glazed cruller: perfectly light with that delicate, airy texture & just the right amount of glaze. Slightly crunchy on the outside, doughy softness on the inside... I savored every bite! Hubby chose the Boston creme: generously filled with silky custard & encased in a soft, glazed shell. The balance of cream to donut was spot-on. Allie's Donuts has that old-school donut shop charm that feels nostalgic in the best way. No frills, just seriously good donuts done right. A must-stop on any Rhode Island donut adventure!

For our family, this is the place to go for donuts ! We got a few different kinds but all of them were delicious, spongey, sweet and decadent... The prices have gone up, now a single donut is about $2.50 but you can get a better price if you buy the dozen or half a dozen. Friendly staff, good donuts, lots of choices... read more

A Rhode Island exclusive: Allie's Donut Cakes We order donut cakes to celebrate family vacationing together on our annual visit to Narragansett. Our five yr old granddaughter selected the Mermaid. It was beautiful. White frosting and lots of colorful Jimmies. Our four year old grandson selected a Garbage Truck. It had chocolate frosting and green jimmies. He squealed with delight when he saw it. We also got an American flag to celebrate July 4. In the past, we have enjoyed a Lobster, a Crab, a Beach Pail, and a Beach Umbrella plus wedding themed donut cakes for our daughter's wedding eight years ago. The donut cakes were exceptional again this year-- moist and pillowy and raised donut like. Incredible eating experience! Decadent! read more

On a rainy day there was no line at about 0830. The staff were all super nice. It is CASH ONLY so don't forget your cash! The maple frosted had a nice flavor but could have been stronger. The actual donut was tasty. It was soft with a nice crisp on the outside. Not the best I've ever had but pretty decent. The sugar raised had a great flavor and a nice rise. I've had better but not recently. I'd love to try the donut cake next! read more

This is a very nice donut. We tried the boston creme, because they are delicious, and a plain, to dip in my coffee. The Boston creme has a nice texture to the yeast donut. The chocolate on top is a light, milk chocolate type frosting. The custard cream has a nice level of sweetness. Not too sweet. The plain has a crispy fried outside and a dense cake inside. It held up very well to being dipped into my coffee. That coffee/donut combination flavor and texture is just right. Enter at the door at the corner of the building and wait in line. If the line is to the door, wait outside with the door closed until there is room to move inside. Once at the head of the line, wait to be called to the counter. No public facilities. No eating-in. Yesterdays donuts are bagged up and put on shelves by the exit. Would make more sense to put them along side the waiting line so customers can pick out what they want before approaching the order counter. Maybe use those shelves to direct the waiting line instead of the rope currently in use. A good sized parking lot designates the area next to the building for customers to wait in line. Pretty easy in/out of the lot with several exits onto Quaker Lane. This is a "Cash Only" business. read more

Every donut I've had from here has been great. I'm particularly partial to the maple flavors (the old fashioned is lovely) but the Boston crème is excellent too. Be warned: going any later than 11am dooms you to either very few donuts available or none at all. You have to get there early if you want variety. They're also cash only, which I seem to forget. Slowly becoming my staple donut place! read more

Allie's Donuts is a traditional RI staple! They have been around for a while. Aside from a variety of donuts they also have array of Donut Cakes and basic coffee. The donuts are light, soft, and fluffy There is always a line and it usually goes outside the door since the building is small. If going in colder weather definitely dress warm. I usually visit during the summer months so it's not a big deal waiting outside. The building can use a more modern remodel but it gets the job done in the meantime. I would suggest to put in a custom order if getting a big order. Make sure to bring cash - as this is a cash only establishment ! read more

I went to a retirement party yesterday that was serving donut cake for dessert & OMG I can't stop thinking about how delicious they were!! I am definitely going to have to take a ride to Allie's in Rhode Island & get some of their other donuts to try as well. Great taste, frosting & the sprinkles & shapes that they are able to make for donut cakes are amazing!! The 5th cake was already gone by the time I got a piece but I am quite sure it was probably a volleyball cake!! read more

ORIGIN: Frederick "Allie" Briggs opened the donut shop in 1968. At the time he was a dairy farmer who had been supplementing income to support his wife and seven children by working additional hours in a local donut shop. He envisioned a better way to make donuts, something his employer was not willing to support. His effort became a very successful family enterprise, and Allie's Donuts is currently owned by his eldest daughter, Anne, and her husband, Bud Drescher. LOCATION: The donut shop remains on the original road, a main thoroughfare (route 2) in North Kingston with ample parking. The shop's parking lot is often full, as customers quickly stop to pick up Allie's legendary donuts, or unique custom donut-based cakes. EXPERIENCE: While you you can always expect to buy donuts until the shop closes at 2 PM, part of the surprise and draw to quickly get in line is the ever-changing availability of different donut flavors and styles. The hand-cut raised donuts may be filled and covered with glaze, frosting, powdered sugar, and granulated sugar, but cake-like donuts are offered as well. Some favorites of mine include maple glazed raised and the raspberry-filled granulated sugar covered donut. Coffee (iced and hot) and hot chocolate are available for those on the go, or who can't wait to enjoy the donuts at their intended destination! TIPS: The shop has two lines, one for custom donut cake pick up, the other for donuts and coffee. The interior is narrow and "no frills", designed for baking and pick up and go orders. The shop is cash only and is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, otherwise open 6 AM to 2 PM. Shop employees will patiently identify donut types, but it is helpful to review the list of all possible types in advance as shelves are not typically labeled. This list (attached) is located near cash register. The shop might be considered a reasonable and worthy short side excursion for Foodie I-95 travelers. read more

Excellent donuts. I test out Boston Crèam donuts wherever I go and this stands as one of the best. It is off season but when I walked in, I was helped immediately and all the donuts I wanted were available. Since the shop has been around since 1968, it had the charm of an old bakery while maintaining perfect cleanliness. read more

Pretty good! Got a dozen donuts and they are cash only wamp womp Here are the ones I tried Chocolate cake good Blueberry excellent Jelly powdered excellent Strawberry shortcake okay Powdered lemon custard okay Bavarian okay Old fashioned jelly okay They have parking that's free and a lot. Things that kind of irritate me about this place are they're very finicky about order and how you enter the store. They want the door to be closed. They actually yell at people to close the door. I understand not wanting to have bugs come into your establishment but there has to be a nicer way of arranging it so that they can accommodate more people in the store. The whole place on the inside is very cumbersome there's nowhere to sit whatsoever regardless I just think that this is something that should be an easy fix by the management. Also they are cash only which is interesting in this day and age but there you have it. I only came to this donut shop because I was in the area I definitely prefer knead donuts in Providence though. read more

Allie's Donuts are great place to get donuts if you are in North Kingstown or nearby. The best part of their place is that they have day old donuts if you come early enough. We didn't come early so we just got half dozen donuts. I think their donuts are good but I am not sure if it out of the ordinary. I was actually surprised because it seemed a bit pricier than some donut places in San Francisco. But everyone is nice and quick with your orders. There are no places to sit and it is usually just order and leave place. They also only accept cash. read more

Great donuts, we've ordered their donut cakes multiple times and they've always been a hit!

I've been to all the donut shops in RI and nobody can still touch Allie's! Another awesome cheat meal! Grabbed a 1/2 dozen donuts plus a maple frosted coffee roll, and luckily Allie's is still affordable as all this was $12. I always get their raspberry raised stick which I'm obsessed with. Their coffee roll was amazing and the other donuts were perfect. Keep killin it Allie's! read more

I visited the shop two days before Christmas and as always, it is a very popular donut shop. The store has a day old selection for a discounted price but we missed it as I heard those go away very quickly. I got a half dozen box and they were all so good. My favorite however was the maple donut as I prefer fluffier donuts. Even though there was a line, service was very quick and all the workers were nice. The store is a very casual store. CASH only store! read more

I'm glad this place isn't closer, because of the calories! However it puts all other donut shops to shame. It makes us donut snobs. I love how simple and old fashioned they are. I love the plain and chocolate ones the best. But Boston Cream is delicious. My dad picks them up when he makes his weekend drive up to visit us and his grandkids. We love it! read more

Best donuts in the northeast. Not fancy, just delicious. Staff is always patient and helpful.

Old time donuts, the way things used to be, before the Dunkin onslaught of mediocrity and before the hipster donut invasion of pretentiousness. I do love me a hipster donut and count Knead and a PVD among my favorites, but not every hipster joint has that kind of quality, so it's to those others that Allie's provides a refreshing counterpoint. Anyhoo, onto the breakdown: Glazed raised: A raised donut, for those not in the know, is the soft, light (not cakey) kind used for honey dipped, and this was as soft and light as any. Fresh at 7am Sunday. Clean, neutrally sweet glaze without the chemical aftertaste and no flaking. And good taste to the dough 'neath the glaze. Chocolate frosted raised: Same light and tasty base, with a light dried chocolate ring. And by light I mean light of both color (like coffee milk) and flavor (you might not recognize it as chocolate with your eyes closed). Maple frosted raised: Also light and still warm, but the big distinction here is that the ring of maple isn't a thin dried glaze but a thick, soft, creamy maple frosting, with maple flavor in spades. Better than any cupcake and possibly the highlight of the half dozen. Strawberry frosted raised: Another warm one and another with a thick application of soft, creamy frosting, bursting with strawberry flavor high in the sweet and without the chemical aftertaste. Boston cream: This raised shell donut (without a hole) needs no introduction, but it does need mentioning that the chocolate on top was the same light-colored, mild-tasting version as the chocolate frosted. Inside, vanilla pudding. The saving grace: soft and fresh donut base that at least made it a success texturally. But a mild disappointment. Raspberry powdered jelly: A gigantic rock of a donut, amply filled with raspberry jelly. A little crispier than the other donuts. Powdered sugar amply applied but not too messy. Jelly in every bite. Plain donut: Ordered in addition to the half dozen, in a separate bag, this was far and away the highlight of the visit: cake style donut, very fresh, crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, with subtle but delicious flavor to the dough, and just a hint of greasiness--enough to keep the donut moist but not enough to overpower. One of the best examples I've had among visits to well over 100 donut shops. read more

When we first moved to RI a lifetime ago, ALLIES was one of the first place new neighbors took us. Following with that, when folks came to visit us from out of state, we took them to Allies for what my Uncle called "a little piece of heaven on earth". I wholeheartedly agree with that earlier compliment! Fast forward 2024: Stopped at ALLIES for the first time in many ears... returning from chemo treatment at Dana Farber, my husband was wanting an Allies' fix, and with what this man endures, he can have whatever he wants (within our means!). Shock #1 - Rude.Rude.Rude. people at registers and filling orders. In my opinion there is nothing that one would do that would cause a staff member to laugh in someone's face, turn away and ignore someone and call them b--- because she or he didn't know something about a certain donut. And 3 out of 5 of the people working there fit this description. Shock #2 - Donuts are now $25.00 a dozen. We would gladly pay this, but not with the attitudes that come with the orders. And we know that YOU KNOW this exists - and persists. Shock #3 - People actually wait in line with expressions of terror not talking, etc, etc, fearful of reactions that might be received. We won't do that - and we will not honor people/businesses who do that to others. Especially to older people, needy people, etc. After all, we aren't all movie-star men and women waiting in line - let me tell you, at Allie's that gets you a smile and then some. I have written many comments - even sending personal notes to Allies - over the years. But a change in wording has been needed for a long, long, while. Such hardworking people own this business and it is a part of Rhode Island that is a touchstone for many. It is for us. But we will not return... But, as always, we wish change that might bring greater prosperity to ALLIES and those for whom "no other donut will do." - Mary J from West Kingston read more

After some time of not coming to Allie's, I decided yesterday to give them a try again. The place was not busy like it used to be years ago. Service was fine but the donuts have really declined. They didn't taste fresh and were very very heavy, in comparison to how they used to be. I tried three different ones and all were equally not great. Not that I'm too concerned with the cost but for the price they are now, $24 a dozen, double of what they used to be, they just weren't worth the cost. Plenty of other better donut shops on the state. RI Guys is close by and far superior . Sad to see this Rhode Island staple decline so much over the years. Needless to say, we won't be back. read more

These are the the best donuts in Rhode Island!! The sprinkle donuts are absolutely iconic. They are so light and fluffy. The frosting stops just short of being tooth-achingly sweet, and contrasts well with the raised donut that is not particularly sweet at all. I also love the maple frosted, vanilla frosted, and strawberry frosted. They have seasonal specials too. I will say that I don't love the old fashioned donuts and crullers as much as the classic raised donuts; I wouldn't waste the space. It's $2 / donut or $9 for a half dozen, such a fair price for these amazing fresh donuts! The service is friendly and fast. You have to stop by if you are in North Kingstown! read more

As a kid growing up in Brooklyn, we never had doughnut places like we do today. My grandfather would take me Sunday morning to get a weekend crumbcake and I'd choose a Jelly doughnut. That's it. No Dunkin' Donuts on every corner. Nada. When I read 3 star reviews for Allie's Donuts from Rhodies who say they like another popular spot, they are so lucky to have these choices! Allie's has been rockin' quality doughnuts since 1968. Located in an unassuming location is where the magic is happening. There is always a line but it moves quickly. My brother in law is telling me to get a maple doughnut. No, jelly stick! He went to college in Boston and also has fond memories of this place. I'm on a mission to have an iced coffee and a simple doughnut. I pull into the parking lot and a car pulls up next to me. The woman bolts out of her car and yells to her kids to meet her inside? Dang!! The line is deep but moving quickly. I'm all set to order an Old Fashioned Doughnut but they bring out a rack of freshly made Jelly Sticks. All bets are off at this point. I ask about the iced coffee and I'm told it's southern pecan. Great, I'm southern! Well, south Brooklyn. :D I bite into the Jelly Stick. The doughnut is a cake doughnut and filled with freshly made jelly. The Frosting (icing) is fresh as well. This is a quality crafted doughnut. I love the vegan doughnuts at Dun Well in Brooklyn, but what I experienced is pretty darn spectacular. And cheap! It was like stepping back in time paying for my items. I'm so jelly (see what I did there?) that Allie's isn't in New York. Keep doing what you do Allie's, what I enjoyed was made from the heart read more
