My husband and I visited Glasgow this past year, and stumbled upon Tantrum. We had gotten there right at open, and the cashier was very kind, and all of the doughnuts looked incredible. I settled on a creme brulee doughnut, and it was absolutely delicious. If you're near a Tantrum, make it I priority to go early so you can have first dibs! read more

I usually love the crackled top of crème brulée but the crème brulée donut here was not great. The top was burnt and tasted acrid and bitter so I couldn't actually eat part of the donut. The dough itself is pretty fluffy but plain. I would've also liked way more of the vanilla custard! I've definitely had better, so I wouldn't recommend it, especially at £2.40 for the donut. Maybe it was an off day? read more

Tantrum Doughnut - crème brulée donut, £2.40 - Donuts Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

This doughnut/ coffee shop is located a block and a half from the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum. They roast their own beans and brew on site. They make about 20 choices of doughnuts. Lemon poppyseed, peanut butter & jelly, pistachio, blueberry crumble, birthday cake and the group favorite crème brûlée doughnut. It's a quirky place with limited seating but a damn good doughnut. read more

Right, I have Opinions about doughnuts. My Opinions about doughnuts are much like my opinons about pizza: All pizza is good, but that doesn't mean you can't distinguish good pizza from great pizza. In the same way, great doughnuts are doughnuts you're going to be thinking about all day. They're doughnuts you're going to wish you'd bought more of. They're doughnuts you're going to look forward to going back for later. So I guess you could say this is a pretty positive review. I went into Tantrum this morning and selected a candied pistachio doughnut and a latte to go. I've been thinking about that doughnut since. I'd originally planned to split it with someone but that idea went out of the window pretty quickly. So now I just have to work my way through the rest of their selection. Now, it's not super cheap, but if you pay Gregg's prices you get Gregg's products and lets face it; you deserve better than Greggs. A doughnut costs anything from £1.00 for a classic glazed ring to over £2.00 for something a bit more special. The coffee prices are pretty standard for the West End. Go, try them out. Just save some for me. Note: I heard that they aren't doing gluten free doughnuts yet but they do hope to in the future. read more

I was passing through and came into visit this business on afternoon. There was a few people in line and with only two members of staff service was rather on the slow side Cash only no cards taken. On display there was a few donuts but the selection was very much on the poor side, I ordered a latte & peanut butter donut to go. The coffee served wasn't the best taste and for the donuts the looked and tasted more like bought in ones. read more

I was starting to feel like I was the only person in Glasgow who hadn't made it along to Tantrum Doughnuts so I was very excited when Sharon M suggested we visit after lunch at The Grumpy Goat nearby. I totally agree with Sara M - I love that they're doing one thing (and a few side things) and doing it really well. This is a doughnut place, so don't go expecting sandwiches, pies or fancy dress costumes. It's all about the doughnuts. The shop is small - there's some seats if you want to eat in (maybe about 10) but it seems like mostly a take away operation. We waited in line (something I never do) to be served - the staff were friendly and smiley which is nice to see! The doughnuts are all made fresh so you might not get a full selection but I was impressed with what was on offer and the pricing - most doughnuts are around £1.70 - £2.50 which is very cheap when you consider that they're proper fancy gourmet doughnuts! I made Sharon M pay for my doughnuts because I erroneously thought I didn't have any cash. They take card so I could have paid for my own damn doughnuts (and I later discovered that I did indeed have cash - yesterday was one big fail for me). Anyway. I got a creme brulee (£1.75 take away) and a pistachio creme brulee (£2.30 take away) which I then I had to leave in the car for 8 hours which I feel is some sort of crime against doughnuts. Safe to say the doughnuts looked absolutely hideous from sweating in the car for 8 hours so I didn't take a photo but I was stoked to find they still tasted super good! I love how they have a glaze on them so they really are like a creme brulee! With Grunting Growler (beers!) opening down the road today, you really will be able to treat yourself to the ultimate afternoon of beers and doughnuts! I'll be doing that soon, for sure. Note: I know what I said yesterday about not really being a cake person, well that is still true - I only had half a doughnut last night and had to stop there because that was enough sweetness for me! They also do coffee, milkshakes and marshmallows if you want an accompaniment to your doughnuts. And you get 10% off if you buy a dozen. read more

Ah phooey! I am a huge lover of doughnuts, but not of Tantrum Doughnuts. Sorry. Stopped in today as I was in the area and decided to try the Almond Buttermilk Old Fashioned and the PB&J. I took them to go as I was heading home and by the time I got them home, the grease in them had soaked straight through the bag (in a 10 minute car journey). I took them out and cut them in half, thinking that because I'm nice, I might leave the other halves for my guy, but honestly, I'm not sure I could manage a whole doughnut of each of these two doughnuts as they are sickeningly sweet and not to my liking at all. I'm giving this place three stars because the staff were friendly and welcoming and I like the fact that these doughnuts are made in house, but I'm not a fan of the doughnuts and that's a shame! I spent £3 in total which is a steal compared to other doughnut establishments but I feel quite sick now because of how sweet these doughnuts are. If you like super sweet, super dense doughnuts, this place is for you. I, however, won't be rushing back to get a doughnut fix here. read more

Ok it's taken me a while to go back after my first experience, however I'm very glad I did Just the two donuts for me this time, one for me and one for a colleague I got the stunning chocolate gateaux and my god it had more flavours bursting and swirling around my mouth than I thought possible in a donut The crème brûlée which I gave to the colleague .... well..... he just kept making weird and often inappropriate sounds with his eyes rolling around the back of his head, I think this was approving noises and not some weird allergic reaction! Well done to the store in producing such a delight and I am glad my first visit was just a hiccup read more

I'd heard about this place and decided to take myself along and see what all the hype was about. Was able to get parked outside easily at lunch time on a Sunday! The shop it's self is small but cosy and when I was in I could see them making doughnuts in the back (they later updated Facebook to say they had completely run out of doughnuts, but it was Valentine's Day so that might have had something to do with it!) I went for a chocolate marshmallow milkshake which had a freshly toasted marshmallow on top. It was amazing I highly recommend it. I also went for a creme brûlée doughnut which had a caramelised sugar topping that cracked when you bit into it. It was also filled with a lovely vanilla creamy custard. Check this place out, you won't be disappointed! read more

I've been following Tantrum Doughnuts for a while now, even before they made an appearance at Gesso, and I really liked the idea of having new flavour combos for doughnuts. So I'm definitely a fan of this experimental duo! I'm glad that they opened up a shop too cause it only gives more of a reason to leave the house and spend more of my money on more food, especially doughnuts!!! (I'm a huge doughnut girl. I've been deprived) They're located like 2 mins away from the Kelvingrove Museum, along old Dumbarton road, won't be hard to find! The day of their opening, they told me they were so busy but in a good way! Of course I expected it seeing as they are quite popular online! While I was there, I order one of everything they had; the buttermilk almond doughnut and PB&J one for me to sit in, and to pack home, an addition of pistachio and creme brûlée doughnuts (bought these as a Christmas gift for my friends to try!). I am in love with the PB&J! It was my fav! The saltiness of the peanut and the sweetness of the jam went so well together! The buttermilk almond was nice too but on the sweet side for me. I think I'd prefer the doughnuts with a bit more diversity in terms of flavour, but it's still good!! My friends really loved the pistachio one! So far, their fav! :D I also ordered a latte, and I think the coffee beans are by Papercup so you know the roast is quite nice. It was a decent cuppa, went well with my doughnuts so can't complain there. 2 sit-in doughnuts, 4 takeaway doughnuts and a coffee totalled up to £12.80! That's not bad seeing as these doughy things really fill you up! Staff are friendly as ever and happy to see so many doughnut-craving people haha though in a daze when I was there; methinks the crowd burnt them out a little on the first day, but that's just good news for them!! :) people kept coming in non-stop while I was there, even policemen haha Anyway, definitely heading back to try more flavours! I think they will keep changing up flavour depending on their mood haha always good to change things up! read more

A work friend turned up this morning with some 'designer' donuts from Tantrum. Luckily for me (not for my diet however!) one of these donuts had my name on it. She'd picked up a dozen and they all looked amazing! I went for the creme brûlée and was pleasantly surprised at the perfect crunch when I bit into it with a delightful almost fluffy centre. Mid meeting I had to stop to express my delight! Well, to be honest the 'mmmmm' fell out all by itself. And just when I thought it couldn't get any better... smooth, silky vanilla creme came oozing out. MY GOODNESS! Where have you been all my life!? Having had a trio from Krispy Kreme just a couple of days before. I have to say that this donut was far superior. It was crazy good. And apparently all the donuts were an average of about £2, which I think is great! I'll be sure to make a visit for my own dozen - when I next decide it's ok to break my diet... Again. Until next time! read more

Tantrum Doughnut - Donuts Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

At long last. A decent doughnut place in Glasgow (replace decent with amazing). This place is really cool - even if it is a bit off the beaten track. The doughnuts were brilliant. So well made with what tasted and appeared to be actual fresh ingredients - none of your fake, pre-packed and additive ridden stuff. Proper doughnut-y goodness right here. They also weren't drowning in oil either which was a pleasant change to the heart attack guff I've had elsewhere. I punted for the pistachio creme brulee doughnut and it was nothing short of sublime. Coupled with a cappucino, it was just the sugar hit I needed. But of course I had to get a few doughnuts boxed up to take up the road to be sure, right? Thoroughly recommend this place and I for one will be back soon (I hope). read more

A great wee place not far from Kelvingrove for some donuts, coffees and even slushies (not like your usual Krispy Kreme, but far better with unique flavours).

Highly recommend going here and of course you can buy a takeaway box to sneakily eat some later! read more

Tantrum Doughnut - Donuts Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Located on Old Dumbarton Road this small donut stop is cool and modern but clearly not really designed to doddle. There is a small kitchen area at the back where the magic happens, and at the front a couple of stools to sit and enjoy your donut with a coffee - but this is predominantly a take away. After checking out all the lush sounding flavours I eventually settled on a classic Almond Buttermilk Old Fashioned ring and a Blueberry Cheesecake Crumble. I also picked up a Jam filled 'nut for MrG I set about the Blueberry Cheesecake Crumble as soon as I got home, and I am pleased to report that it was IN-credible. Lots of flavourful tangy compote encased in a soft sweet dough, topped with a heavenly cheesecake fondant that was just savory enough to balance out the tart blueberries, and this was then decorated with oodles of crunchy crumble bits. SO GOOD!!! Not going to lie there was more than a few food-gasm noises coming from me while I devoured this in about 30 seconds flat. Tantrum Doughnuts Glasgow Review The old fashioned was pretty good but to be honest was a bit of an anticlimax after the cheesecake donut...not that it was bad because it was really good. I was just so in love with my first donut that it paled a little in comparison. Mr G also assures me that the Jam filled was excellent and he would definitely have one again - high praise indeed, he is very particular about his donuts. Tantrum Doughnuts is an amazing little coffee and donut shop which has a real cult following and it is easy to see why. If you haven't been to try it you need to mosey down soon to give it a bash and I am sure like me you will not regret it. read more

This place deserves a solid 5 stars purely for their Pistachio Creme Brulee doughnut. WOW. I thought the original Creme Brulee was good...the PCB takes it to another level of deliciousness. Seriously. I know it's not one of their permanent doughnuts (boo) but if you ever should spy it then please do try it, if only to rub it in and say 'Look Angela! I've got a PCB doughnut and you haven't - HA HA' in a Nelson from The Simpsons stylee. This place was my saviour when myself and some colleagues were sent to work at Yorkhill Hospital for a while. Having this place a mere 5 mins walk away was super dangerous but also super GREAT. I also had the delight of introducing said colleagues to the doughy wonders of Tantrum and they have NEVER LOOKED BACK (I assume). You might think this place is ALL about the doughnuts (Err, Angela, it kinda IS...) well, you're wrong inner monologue! This place not only has delicious, hand made doughnuts in wonderful flavours but it also serves really good coffee and magnificent milkshakes! My favourite is the Caramel with Candied Peanuts milkshake ~ so good. This milkshake seriously cheered me up one day when I was feeling a bit low. That is the power of a good, nay, great milkshake my friend! The coffee served in Tantrum is also their own blend created by those nice folk at Papercup, so you know when you buy a coffee from here it's gonna be really nice. Other things I like about Tantrum: The staff - who are always lovely. The opening hours - they open until 6pm most days (I can go after work, yay!) and they're also open Saturday & Sunday. The decor - I've never sat in but it's a really cool wee space they've got. If you haven't been yet then please go and if you do try the Creme Brulee (Pistachio CB if they have it!) doughnut and get back to me about HOW GOOOOOD they are. Uh. Oh yeah. read more

I was only in town for a few days but this was deffo on my hitlist of places to try, so on New Year's Eve with a friend desperate to share some deliciously exciting lovelife chat, the stars aligned for the perfect opportunity to catch up over some tasty donuts (doughnuts?). It's a cosy little place with maybe 4 or 5 small tables so if it weren't for the fact that we were meeting on the eerily quiet lull before Hogmanay, I wouldn't count on being able to bagsie a seat here. I see that they do Papercup coffee here. Oooh, good. For some reason, though, my brain went totally blank when I ordered my drink and I ended up with a cappuccino. That's like my least favourite coffee! Why did I do that? I was thrown by my friend ordering peppermint tea (with a donut? What is wrong with you? Has love made you lose your mind?), so I momentarily forgot that espressos and black Americanos and even flat whites exist, and I found myself with a cappuccino. Whatever. I'm not really here for the coffee, but good to know they sell the good stuff. But oh, the main act, the donuts. Oh! What beauts they are. The candied pistachio looks pretty and bejewelled with green but I wanted the full experience of a donut filled with goo so I went for a PB&J one, and so did my friend. It was very very good. The texture was like a bread/cake hybrid. Not the light-as-air fluff of a Krispy Kreme - this had some satisfying substance to it, with the salty peanut butter on top the perfect counter to the fruity jamminess inside. Yum yum yum. The creme brûlée ones seemed to be a particular favourite with the punters while we were there, so I'll maybe try one of them next time - particularly as I was able to watch the donut fella blowtorching a batch one-by-one in the tiny tiny kitchen area. More attention to detail there, see? I was also impressed to find out that they deliberately make v.small batches of ?5? at a time to minimise waste at the end of the day and to make sure they are super-fresh. All in all, a very impressive and delicious donutty (doughnutty?) experience. The only negative points I have are: 1- The peanut butter on top of the PB&J needs to have something else added to it to make it stick better - in a warm shop, it doesn't take long before it begins to separate and the disc of PB slip slides off in a one-er, making it tricky to get the full flavour combo experience. 2- it's a very, very small shop so not the best if you want a more discrete tete a tete, like when your friend has some pretty freakin' wild stuff to tell you 3- When they decided they wanted to shut up shop the people kind of stared at us from behind the til which was only about 3 ft away and made us feel a bit uncomfortable so we made a sharp exit. But then we noticed on the way out that they weren't closing for another couple of hours. So what was that about? Were they tired of listening to my friend's chat and my "whaaaaaaat?"s and just wanted us to leave, maybe? I dunno. 4- it is £2.40 for a donut. £2.40 for one single donut. Two pounds forty for a donut. A bit of me is outraged by that and points to the 6-for-a-quid that you get, still warm and turning the paper bag see-through with grease at the shows. Another bit of me points out how much better the Tantrum ones are than the 6-for-a-quid donuts. The same bit of me points out that you'd pay 3quid for a slice of cake in one of your fancy Byres rd cake emporia. And indeed that same bit of me just bought a creme brûlée donut and shoved it, whole, in the gub of the bit of me that was whining about the price because in actual fact, when you think about it, £2.40 isn't thaaaat bad for a donut. Eat up, whiney-face, this is the good stuff! read more

Tantrum Doughnut - A PB&J and a cappuccino please. - Donuts Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Well, 2015 was drawing to a close. All year, I had been planning to have my first ever cup of coffee, and had never quite got round to it. And now it was the last day of the year! So, utilising the power of Yelp, I discovered that Tantrum Doughnuts serve Papercup coffee, which has a good reputation, and given that they are in a very handy location for me, I decided that Tantrum would be the venue where I would celebrate my first ever cup of coffee. I was ridiculously excited. I have no idea why. Anna was serving on the counter, and humoured me very nicely. I had my coffee black, so it took ages to cool down, which gave us lots of time to look about, and gaze at beautiful doughnuts. But best of all, I liked my coffee! I did add a brown sugar to it about half way through - Anna suggested that it might help :-) So I think I might have a new habit to develop through 2016, and will surely be back to Tantrum. The one thing missing for me, which would make me ever so happy, is if Tantrum could create a vegan doughnut. I have already volunteered my tasting services for any prototypes they may wish to push my way, but sadly it is not to be at the moment. They've said that they have tried, but they haven't yet come up with a version that they are happy with. Hell, I don't want their usual creative perfection, I just want a doughnut! My other half has tried quite a few of their doughnuts so far, and on coffee day, he chose a lemon meringue one, which looked absolutely divine! Maybe my new year wishes will come true, we shall have to wait and see.... read more

I go here way too often for the good of my arteries but I just love the doughnuts, and the slushies, and the hot chocolate, and basically anything they produce.

Tantrum Doughnut - Donuts Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Popped along here today with two friends and was really looking forward to the doughnuts! Firstly the space is pretty small but done nicely, there are high stools along an L-shape wooden counter top area and a couple of smaller tables on the other side. The do hot drinks, milkshakes, cans of pop and doughnuts. Obviously doughnuts! They had 6 different flavours when we were in and we saw them do a pretty roaring trade in take out boxes during the 30mins or so we were in the shop. I had a chocolate and marshmallow milkshake which I say being made fresh with lots of vanilla ice cream, it was yum! I choose a Lemon Curd doughnut to go with it to attempt to balance all the sweetness. My doughnut was very good. The lemon curd was perfect, it had a delicious tang to it but still the right level of sweetness. The only thing stopping me giving a 5 star review is that both myself and my friend had very little of the lemon curd filling, which was a shame as it was so good. read more

I have been desperate to try Tantrum Doughnuts since it opened, and finally had my first opportunity to visit there at the weekend. It definitely lived up to expectations. There is a small seating area if you want to sit in and savour your donut with a coffee. I decided to treat my little girl and my other half with some donuts to take home. There was a range of 7 tantalising flavours to choose from. As my other half is allergic to nuts I took the 3 available that were nut-free, including a Blueberry Cheesecake Crumble donut, traditional jam donut, and a Creme Brûlée donut. The Blueberry Cheesecake Crumble donut was donut perfection with light fluffy donut and a deliciously rich blueberry filling and creamy cheesecake topping with little crumble pebbles adding a lovely texture. My favourite was the creme brûlée donut with a beautiful creme patisserie filling and a lovely crisp caramelised coating on the outside of the donut. Tantrum Donuts is well worth visiting, and I look forward to trying more flavours on my next visit there, with the peanut butter and jelly flavour at the top of my list! read more

FINALLY! I made a visit to Tantrum Doughnut! This has been on my list of places to visit for what feels like forever and actually, my visit wasn't planned at all.. I was recording a radio documentary on my transplants and working towads promoting cornea donation in the UK. During a break, I spotted Tantrum Doughnut and well...there's always time for a doughnut (or two!) right?! It's smaller than I expected, with a small seating area and I thought there would be a larger selection of doughnuts to choose from. I chose two: the Creme Brulee & Pistachio Creme Brulee because I couldn't resist. To be fair, they all looked yummy. My doughnuts were placed in a paper bag and saved until later! The Creme Brulee was everything I thought it would be: crunchy topping, soft doghnut and it was easily one of the best doughnuts I've ever had. The Pistachio Creme Brulee had the same crunchy topping yet the filling was an unappealing green colour that tasted far too strong for me (too much pistachio). I only had a bite and then decided that was enough. Service was quick and friendly. I'd definitely recommend a visit! read more

Luckily me and my boyfriend found this place when we were walking to Kelvingrove Art Gallery. I'm not really the biggest fan of doughnuts but after having one from Tantrum Doughnuts I think I may be a doughnut lover now! I tried the hibiscus and pistachio doughnut, which was really tasty especially the pistachios. My boyfriend had the almond old fashioned doughnut. He really enjoyed it. I like how there is a small choice available as I find it hard to make decisions (I normally get jealous of other people's food). The staff were very friendly. If i lived in Glasgow I would be in there all the time! read more

After all the hype on Tantrum i accidentally stumbled across it a few weeks back and it seemed rude not to try it. I bought 2 Jam doughnuts and breaking my gf diet i sampled one and and to be honest I wish I hadnt. The jam inside was really sweet and really not to my liking. Thinking it was just me I gave the bf his and he wasnt too impressed either. Since I normally follow a gf diet and my bf wasnt keen i dont think i would make a trip specifically here. read more

I really, really wanted to be the first person to come here seeing it's not even a minute from my flat - however, with their opening times and my lab times it just never worked out. Until a wonderful Friday. I was so thrilled they were still open so I walked in. Part of me was worried that the donut I had my eye on had sold out, but it hadn't. Donuts are important to me. The execution, taste, texture and look of a donut is important to me, and Krispy Kreme has set my standard to which I judge a donut pretty darn high. Following a chat that I've had with my donut accomplice Carolyn, I was a little weary, but this wasn't going to deter me from forming my own opinion. I went for the absolutely stunning hibiscus and pistachio donut. Gorgeous to look at. The girl behind the counter was absolutely lovely, we had a chat about my wallet (woo!) while I paid (also, incredibly reasonably priced "donuts" by the way!) and about life and stuff. The donut was in a brown paper bag and interestingly, it was pretty heavy to carry. It definitely shows how dense the donut is. Eventually, I settled down and cut myself a piece (yes, I was going at it like that, donut judge. Get it?) and I tried it. It's more like cake, not like a donut, but I definitely enjoyed it. Like really enjoyed it so that I ate the entire thing without cutting pieces. I just ate it. It's very, very dense, very cake-y. It was definitely more like eating a piece of cake, but it was lovely. Not too sweet, but definitely sweet. But definitely something I would order again. So, for now, this is the best hibiscus and pistachio donut in town (maybe I can get KK to bring one out, just for comparison?), but I wouldn't class it as a donut. read more

Having heard about Tantrum Doughnuts through people raving about them at work, I had been planning to pay a visit as soon as possible. The credentials of owner/chef Iain Baillie (once a pastry chef at Heston Blumenthals 3 Michelin star restaurant, The Fat Duck) were what got my curiosity, the flavours on offer were what got my attention. Luckily for me, a co-worker brought a box in for my team meaning I didn't have to make the trip out to try them. We had a selection of 6 doughnuts, I was secretly hoping for the chocolate and hazelnut filled cinnamon doughnut, however it was not an option so I opted for the blueberry cheesecake flavour. As a picky eater, I tend to shy away from flavours I've never tried before, so I was apprehensive at first,but this was incredible. This was probably the most perfect doughnut I've ever tasted. The frosting was not overly sweet and it complimented the delicious blueberry jam inside in the best way. Looking at it, you might think the doughnut would be too heavy and sickly, but it was the perfect balance of light doughnut pastry with well constructed fillings and toppings. All in all, I was extremely impressed with my first experience at Tantrum Doughnuts and I will most definitely return in the near future so they can take all my money! read more

Those 5 stars are solely for the Crème brûlée doughnut. I've been thinking about that doughnut ever since I set my eyes on it, soft and fluffy, runny vanilla custard inside, crispy topping. I could have easily packed away three. I tried the PB&J one, wasn't that fussed, the pistachio and hibiscus one somehow was beautifully light, but if you're only going to have one, have the Crème brûlée. You're welcome. read more

Superb little donut shop with great coffee to match. What surprised me more than anything was the quality of the dough.. Very succulent and delicious but not sickening or overly filling.

The a-frame sign out front makes Tantrum easy to locate. Upon walking in the smells alone are enough to make you want to buy something. I selected the pb&j and jam filled. They are quite similar but both were absolutely fantastic! They are a bit greasy but these are donuts we're talking about - what else would you expect? The jam in both is delicious, fresh, and sweet. The presentation of the donuts themselves is simple but sweet. I also snagged a cherry Morello slushie which totally hit the spot. The staff were kind, courteous, and helpful with my questions. The prices are affordable and the product is wonderful. What more could you hope for? I'm definitely a fan and will be back again!! read more
