Square doughnut. I opted for the minis- I tried the churro, spaceballs (cookie and cream frosted with crushed Whoopers) and strawberry lemonade. Light dough, topping not too sweet. Fantastic. There is also iced coffee, Italian sodas and egg creams! Cool spot. read more

Lots of variety of flavors. Labeling may be wrong because I picked the chocolate but it didn't taste like chocolate just coffee... which was odd (lower left), not sure if it was because it wasn't correctly labeled, but the apple pie donut was absolutely delicious! read more

Took me long enough but I finally made it! With doughnuts being over 4 dollars a piece I opted for just one. I'm glad I did though not only because of the price but, because let's face it, I would've ate all of them. I absolutely love churros - then again who doesn't? So I decided to get the churro doughnut but to my surprise, it was spicy. that's why I deducted a star. apparently they put cayenne pepper in their chocolate. Is it just me or is that weird? The donut itself was so soft and fluffy and it was perfectly seasoned with sugar and cinnamon. I would definitely subtract the chocolate with the cayenne next time or at least put chocolate without cayenne if you would? Can you do that? but anyways, yeah, I'll be back. I'll try some other flavors. I'll dig in that pocket of mine. Besides, you know what they say - hashtag Yolo. read more

This place is unique and a must-have when visiting Saratoga Springs!!! If you cant figure out what they serve, just stop reading and dont go as you are beyond help !!! Ive had to pull the reins over the last few years as the first few times I stopped in id walk out with a dozen donuts or a mix of mini's and regular sizes ones and find myself eating a half dozen in a few days...no bueno as good as they are !!! No rules here, order at will whatever your heart desires, just make sure you have enough for whoever you are with because they go fast!!! read more

Finally made it to Darling while they were open. I'm not often in the area at just the right time to indulge in the many choices that they have daily. We arrived towards the end of the day-just before they closed...so there weren't a ton of options (as expected). The donuts are pretty big and very tasty. Fluffy in texture with decadent toppings. Love that they have smaller bite size options available as well. They're a bit pricey for fried dough but that's the norm for specialty donuts these days. Staff was friendly and helpful- plus it was super clean and inviting inside. One of these days I'll make an effort to get there earlier to experience the larger selection of fresh daily yums. read more

We enjoyed a "mini" butter and salt donut. It was delicious wi the great texture and just enough for two bites each. We also had iced lattes mine with a mocha cayenne flavor. The kick of cayenne was a pleasant offset to the sweetness of the chocolate syrup. The service was prompt and efficient. We weren't able to enjoy sitting outside as a larger party used all the chairs there but we sat at the inside bar. I'm sure if we lived in Saratoga Springs this would be a regular spot for us. read more

The good...Cute store pretty looking doughnuts. Friendly counter staff. The bad...definitely not top 10 in NY State. I came in to try one and because they looked so appealing I ordered 6 full size. Is it possible to have a bland doughnut...yes! The ones that are filled are severely under filled...SEVERELY! The doughnut is square and minimal filling is on ONE side of the doughnut. At $28 for 6 doughnuts this stop is not what it's hyped up to be! If you say a doughnut is filled...fill it So very very sad I wasted my money. I hate to say it but better doughnuts can be found at chain stores. Definitely will not be back. read more

Darling Doughnuts - Twin Peaks Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Saratoga Springs, New York

Visited during racing season so it was a bit busy and this place had a line out the door on each morning so we knew we had to give it a try. My husband LOVES donuts. He got a chocolate covered one that he said was delicious. I am a plain glazed girlie - so that is what he got me. Unfortunately it was too doughy for my liking. It was almost cake like texture. It was very heavy. You could easily split one of these for breakfast. I prefer my donuts lighter and airy but if you like more of a pastry style then this place is for you. they have a bunch of really cool flavors and super cute decorated ones. Employees were super nice and friendly. read more

Cute little and regular sized square donuts. Highlights: Good service Coffee beans for sale Cute merch Pretty Donuts Coffee offerings I took my in back to the room and had it the next day. It was kind of on the dry side but the icing was flavorful (why the 4 rating). Cute interior and storefront that will get you through the front door. read more

This shop is clean and the counter girl is nice enough. Good selection of donuts with intriguing flavors. Unfortunately that was it. The donuts are overpriced for what you get (the box of 9 minis came to $18). The flavors were just not there. Tasty donut but lacking flavor--except the margarita which was pretty salty. I was excited based on reviews but cannot bring myself to spend so much on these small donuts again. Plus the Boston crème was the only filled one, which was disappointing. read more

Cute little donut shop on the main street in Saratoga Springs. There is donuts and there is coffee amongst other drinks. There is also a few different merchandise items and some other items for purchase. We tried three donuts, including red velvet, cookie butter, and peanut butter cup. We've been wanting to try this place for a while because it's been reported in the news that they have one of the best donuts. Although the donuts weren't the best we've ever tried overall they are good donuts. Our favorite one was the cookie butter. They also have miniature donuts of the similar flavors that they have in the case. They also have doggy donuts which are a few donut holes with optional whip cream on top. our dog loved these. I also got an iced latte with hazelnut and this was pretty good. read more

Stopped in while strolling the gorgeous downtown of Saratoga Springs on a college visit with my daughter. It's amazing. I love Saratoga Springs and this shop is one of the reasons. I hope my daughter decides to go to school here so I can come back to Darling Doughnuts often. From the dozen or so flavors, I had the Churro and it was fantastic. Pricey, but worth every daggum bite. If you're not giving this shop 5 stars, I don't know what you want in a doughnut. read more

Best. Donuts. Ever. I had heard good things, but wasn't expecting these to be as good as they were. They were decent sized, moist, and tasted absolutely perfect!

(Banana pancake was the single best donut I've ever had.) Must try! read more

Doughy and delicious, great service. Definitely recommend stopping in when you're in town.

The donuts were tasty, but the lady behind the counter got annoyed When I asked her about the flavors. There's no descriptions on any of them, so I asked what flavor they were, and she rolled her eyes and made it seem like I was a burden for asking. She also put the frosting side down in the bag :( read more

An early, cold Saturday Saratoga Springs morning. Got on street parking right in front of the store. No line. All donuts available. No issues. My issue, I felt very excited looking at their menu. SO many flavors. Slightly overwhelming but I entered their location and realized there are only about 6 flavors at a time. I can honestly say, not interested in most of the 6 flavors offered at this time. (Footnote: it was the weekend after thanksgiving- so many flavors I coul think of this time of year.)I bought galaxy donut and the pecan pie. Galaxy is a vanilla but with a colorful display. Pecan pie is very close to a maple donut. The pecan pie was good but... felt more like cake frosting. I did like that they sell small donuts that are square (so not really a donut) and have a regular size since posh donuts are rich and heavy. They also had donut holes aka munchkins. Three flavors, I went with cinnamon and sugar. They were ok. This place did not knock my socks off. Stan's in Chicago still can't be beat. read more

I do not recommend these donuts. They taste terrible and are certainly way overpriced for something that isn't good. They look beautiful but don't be deceived. Usually if something looks real pretty, it tastes like garbage. Unfortunate, but true. Don't waste your money. read more

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed. We got there at 2:30 PM on a Sunday and there was not much left. I'm glad they were small donuts, which left room for you to eat at other places if you had a foodie list to go through. I was not glad about the wasps living their best life in the donut case though lol The tiny donuts were tasty, but I have been to a ton of places so I'm a little snobbish now. read more

What a cute little doughnut shop! Lots of doughnuts at noon on a weekday to chose from. They make yeast risen doughnuts with different flavored frosting on top. They do have some filled doughnuts, for some reason I thought they'd all be filled so I was a little disappointed that they weren't. I got a box of nine minis of which only two-Boston cream and Dalgona- had filling. Those were my favorites! If the rest had had corresponding fillings, this would have been a five star review. As is, the cheesecake mini really delivered on the flavor. read more

Tasty yeast donuts at a premium price. For months after their grand opening there were lines out the door and an hour wait with sellouts happening often before noon. I happen to hit them on a snow day with no line or wait. Lucky me! The interior is minimalist and geared toward takeaway. I sampled a variety of their mini donuts including galaxy (vanilla icing with purple mirror glaze), cannoli, chocolate cherry, lemon cake and a few others. They were all good to varying degrees. What you prefer will be entirely up to your individual taste buds. They're fresh everyday and have a rotating menu of 50 glaze flavors. The big debate centers around value. Mini donuts at Darling are $2 and full size are $3.74 each. That's on the high end for donuts and on par with some of the most well known donut shops in the country. For comparison, yeast donuts at the Doughnut Plant in Brooklyn are $3.50 - 4.75 while most of the donuts at Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland are under $2 with the specialty donuts reaching $3.50. Yeast donuts aren't particularly intensive nor is topping them with glaze so these are certainly a premium priced product. I think Darling is a great addition to downtown Saratoga and an occasional treat for home or office. read more

Stopped by to check out their doughnuts and bought a honeycomb doughnut and a spicy churro doughut (full sizes). They are in the shape of a square and come in mini and regular sizes. I personally enjoyed the honey comb doughnut. Delicious!!! The bread is fluffy and soft. They also sell hot chocolate bombs, candies, drinks and soaps. Yes, food looking soaps. I believe they have weekly specials for the doughnuts. It's worth a visit! read more

Embrace the line. If you're willing to do that, even find it enjoyable, then you'll get some pretty good donuts at the end of it. I arrived at 9:55 AM on a Sunday and was at the door an hour and five minutes later. That's almost exactly the lunchtime wait at Micklethwaite's in Austin, though without the mentalist and the free beer, and as at Micklethwaite's most items will be sold out by the time you get to the ordering window. At Darling Doughnuts, you can see the boxes carried by patrons leaving the shop get steadily smaller as fewer and fewer items are available. I was lucky enough to score one full-size donut, butter pecan, plus churro minis and a box of donut holes. I'm told they use a brioche dough which accounts for the extra richness of the donuts. But after you've been on your feet so long it feels good to punish the rest of your body. I'm glad I tried it, but probably will not go back until the lines are quite a bit shorter. read more

I wanted to make sure we tried these doughnuts on our trip to Saratoga Springs from seeing them on a TikTok video weeks prior to the trip. They did not disappoint! Such a fun and delicious spot. My favorite one was Cannoli,but they were all delicious. I like that they offer all the flavors in mini daily. They said most days they make 1000 doughnuts so for best selection go early morning especially if busy time of year. Only regret was not going the first day so that I would have had double the opportunity to get more because they were closed the last days Monday and Tuesday of our trip. read more

Always looking for the local donut shop in every city I go to. This place was 2 blocks from my hotel. Definitely a small local business which I was happy to support. Im thinking I met with both owners. They have square donuts and then mini versions of the same regular size donuts. I went with the Boston Cream and the Chocolate Chip Cookie donuts. Most of these are iced. And the icing is still somewhat wet. Unfortunately they were stacked on top of one another in the bag. So it was a little messy getting the paper off. They might want to rethink their packaging for 2 donuts, or 3. The donuts were fresh and texture was pillowlike with a bit of a chew. The Boston Cream actually had the cream portion throughout the square. The chocolate Chip Cookie variety really had no unique taste to it. Still as fresh as the other, but it just tasted like a regular donut. And it was rerally sweet. I also got a hot chocolate. This was pretty good. Definitely tasted homemade. Stayed hot for a while. I wasn't disappointed. read more

So went on a day off because otherwise they sell out before I get going on the weekends. I tried ordering the night before but the option never came up on the website. Got 3 donuts for 2 people. Triple chocolate which was yummy very chocolate and a good basis for yeast donuts. I got the breakfast cereal milk donut which I loved. I got my husband the raspberry lemon filled which tasted fine but neither of us are jelly filled people. I was hoping for curd filled. Didn't get coffee this time.
