    I came here initially because I scored a to good to go box. I paid 5.99 and got 4 day old delicious donuts! I also grabbed a peanut butter latte, Boston crème donut and one of their weekly specialty donuts filled with cherries. The staff were friendly, the vibe is cool and the parking is easy. Will absolutely return!

    The best yeast doughnut in Albany but honestly there isn't much competition. They use the same doughnut base (similar to a grocery store yeast doughnut) for all doughnuts and it can often be dry. The icing tends to melt quickly so make sure to keep them in a cool place. Not bad but can be pretty pricy at $3-$4 each.

    **parking can be found down the street next to the storefront in the lot. **lines form quick we walked in and there was one other person but after we got our box the line went out of the door and we did not take a long time or order/collect our box. So the line SHOULD move quickly but beware it may seem that busy at times. I went in with three kids 4 and under and it was so welcoming and fun and DELICIOUS!!!!! The kids had a blast picking their doughnuts and I just couldn't decide so we ended up getting a dozen and man it's so rewarding haha needless to say we WILL be back!! Love this spot! The seating area is so cute and fun and clean! They told me to follow their IG and that they have new doughnuts each week and they post that doughnuts to expect on Tuesdays :) notifications on!! ;)

    A review I write so dear to my heart! Tania and her family are the nicest people on earth. I'm not personally vegan, but their food and beverages truly satisfy any palette. We got four dozen custom donuts for our wedding and couldn't be happier. Almost Everything is made in house. from specific speciality coffee syrups, lemonade, freshly brewed tea, even some of their meat substitutes. And you can tell how much love Tania and family put into their business! Everything is fabulous and I'm looking so forward to their new locations. Please consider supporting them during their hardship recovering from a nearby fire. They will be operating from 540 Delaware Ave Albany. And hope to continue to work from Lark st when able to.

    Great donuts and such a nice staff. Im glad I popped in. Definitely 5 star deliciousness

    Amazing donuts!!

    My wife and I were in town visiting our daughter at a nearby college and after finishing a nearby boat tour, I wanted to pick up dessert and some coffee. Absolutely LOVE the vibe! Super local and unafraid to wear their values out in the open! Woman working behind the counter was amazing! So nice and very proud of their donuts. I knew that I wanted one donut for after dinner later and the rest of a dozen for our daughter and her college friends. I selected a donut with gold caramel frosting and apple pie filling. The rest of the dozen were equally gorgeous and all sounded delicious. Had a large cold brew immediately and it was smooth and delicious! My wife enjoyed her cold brew with pistachio flavor added. Having showed remarkable discipline to not eat multiple donuts before dinner, I finally got to enjoy the donut. We tailgated outside of my daughter's dorm as we were saying goodbye. I absolutely devoured that donut! The donut itself is tender and the perfect texture and the apple pie filling was divine! I don't always splurge on dessert but when I do, I want it to be as perfect as that donut! Definitely look forward to returning!

    Day old donuts
    Leo Y.

    I got a four pack of random, day old donuts, and they're easily the best donuts in the capital region. They did not have that greasy aftertaste that I feel after Indian Ladder farm donuts, or other donuts that I have tried around the region. They have very creative flavors, and they pull them off well. It's a cute little storefront on Lark, with enough seating as well as a busy takeout counter. The donuts are displayed behind glass but they have plenty of other options available for breakfast or lunch. I can't wait to try what else they have to offer.

    Orange creamsicle and French toast donuts
    Kathleen S.

    The two yeast donuts I ordered from Bitchin Donuts were OUTSTANDING! It's been months since I've had a fresh donut that I wasn't ready to experience how sublime the donuts and their filling would be at Bitchin. Choosing just two among the many appealing flavors was torturous, but I settled on the orange creamsicle and the French toast donuts. I almost grieved at not having the stomach space to try the carrot cake donut (filled with carrot-flavored buttercream). Filled with light, creamy orange buttercream, the orange creamsicle was dreamy and oh so delectable. A fan of citrus flavors, I was expecting and almost craved more tartness, and yet the overall sweetness worked. The French toast donut was frosted but not filled, but really showcased the airiness of the donut pastry. I still can't believe that these were vegan donuts because they tasted so much like the "real" thing. There were a number of gluten-free donut flavors as well, although they looked like cake donuts. Service was quick and friendly and the space was welcoming and seemingly quite the hangout spot. Bitchin Donuts is definitely worth a return visit to try more inspired and innovative flavors when in downtown Albany.

    My husband and I tried four different donuts from here and loved all of them (I don't even remember what the flavors were, but they were all good). I'm not generally a big donut person, but I enjoyed these and would definitely get them again. I can't speak to the ambiance or service, as I wasn't the one who picked them up, but from what my husband said they were very friendly and the place was nice inside. If you're looking for a sweet bite, then this place should be on your radar.

    French Toast Roll
    Kayla B.

    Really liked this spot for donuts- all vegan menu with a ton of options. Could NOT tell anything was vegan (in the best way), french toast donut was killer. Maple glazed was more of a plain glazed but still tasty. Service was friendly and decent amount of seating inside.

    Jackie K.

    The place is cute, very well decorated. The neighborhood wasn't the best. They have seats so you can sit and enjoy your doughnut. They had a lot of different flavors. The rainbow connection and chocolate one we had were great. The staff was friendly. The doughnuts were nyc prices.

    This donut shop was a stop around a meeting in the capital region. The artwork inside and outside along with the color scheme makes this place a gorgeous stop. People inside were friendly and informative with a wide selection of many different donuts, including ones that were specific seasonal. It was not my first stop to the shop, but definitely a worthwhile comeback. I got a orange flavored doughnut that was seasonal because I liked the flavoring. I am a sucker for a filled donut and they did excellent. Highly recommend a stop if you're looking for a good donut inside Albany.

My only complaint is that after ordering what I believe was the regular-sized sub, I was still a little hungry. That said, would I recommend it? Absolutely. The food was tasty, fresh, and satisfying. Would I return? Definitely. The price point makes it more of an occasional treat for me rather than a regular lunch spot, but it's worth it when you're craving a quality sandwich. Rating: 4/5 Fresh ingredients, great flavor, convenient location--just be prepared for the prices and consider sizing up if you have a big appetite!

(Certainly a lucky neighborhood) It looks small from the street but once you walk in, it opens up to a sizable store. We were greeted by a friendly staff member, he took the time to describe their cheese selection and the other things going on in the shop. He then pivoted to giving us tons of help selecting the right cheese. We sampled a couple of things and then he dialed in three choices for us to buy. (With an assist from another customer that insisted that we would love the Delice de Bourgogne) Prices were reasonable enough for the quality. We added some gourmet crackers that were neutral enough to not overpower the cheese. The next day, we made the three cheeses the focus of our lunch. The Delice de Bourgogne was the star of the show, a creamy, earthy, and savory masterpiece. The two year aged Gouda and creamy blue cheese were delightful as well!

Their sub always strikes the right balance in the dressing, bread, meats, and toppings. Toppings are consistently good quality, and you can customise your sub by asking staff what you do and don't want on it. I hope they stay healthy and busy for decades to come.
