    Black forest donut
    JENNIFER D.

    This is a cute, busy little shop. The donuts look great! I wish I could say the same for the taste. I had the Black Forest donut. The dough was really nice. The filling was just ok and not enough of it. The chocolate was what was a bit off. The taste of it was ok, but the texture was not smooth. Maybe it had been stuck in the chiller? Not sure, but not impressed.

    Apple & Cinnamon sugar fix! Beware of the frosting coating. It will flake off while you eat it so it makes a mess! :-)

    This place is right where the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour starts! Stop here for something hot & sweet before you jump on the bus! We split the Apple & Cinnamon. Very messy sugar coating! Be sure to eat it somewhere the sugar can flake off and not make a mess!!!!! Good stuff! Definitely recommend this place for your sugar fix!!!! (12-29-21) Most Sincerely!

    Donuts!

    Pros: Fast and friendly Lots of donut options Great coffee and donut special for 5euros. USB outlets available to charge your phone while enjoying your donut Cons: Small seating area I had the Rafaello donut. It had a creamy coconut center. The americano coffee was good too.

    Great little donut spot that is conveniently located near several hotels in the City Centre area of Dublin. On my arrival day, I was too beat to sit down for a real dinner, after being awake for 36 hours straight. So I had a donut for dinner, and it was amazing! Hot, fresh, yummy, and cheap! I went back a couple days later with some co-workers, closer to closing time. Between us, we got 4 donuts, they weren't hot, but they were still tasty. They do make the donuts throughout the day, but I'm sure there is some point that they stop so they won't have to throw them all out at closing time. This is also close to a lot of the tour bus pick up spots (Riu/Gresham Hotel, O'Donnell Street), and they're open early, so it's a great spot to grab something to take on the bus with you!

    Quick stop for a couple of donuts and chai latte. The Chai was tasty. The donuts were good too. Tried the salted caramel, apple cinnamon, and a peanut glazed. All were good, but the salted caramel was the best. They has outdoor seating, which was good as it is a counter order and go type of place. Pro tip: ask if they have more fresh made of any flavor you want that looks out. They have loads more in the bakery!

    There were two more before this photo, but they had to be eaten immediately so apologies

    How do I even put into words the joy I felt when I saw donuts in the window. It was a solid 10:30pm and the hunt for donuts was looking bleak and we were on the way to cake, when suddenly we heard angels sing. We deliberated outside the window, but it was their warm embrace and alluring smell that drew us in. EXCELLENT customer service. We had a thoughtful conversation with the employee and he gave us a free donut, which was a surreal experience. 12/10 would recommend to anyone with a heartbeat (or not) (A poem by our friend. He wrote this on the bus ride back) As we paced north of the Liffy We found ourselves in quite a jiffy Hunger set in with a howl, our stomachs did give quite the growl But in the midst of our Dublin prowl, 'Lo - a shining light in the dark A donut filled vessel, a heavenly ark. Scents did waft from that lovely place That wrapped us in their warm embrace Drifting as if on a cloud, in we flew - And on seeing all the donuts then we knew That here indeed was a baking skill profound A paradise of desert we had found With joy we did enjoy our sugary prizes Greatest amongst Dublin's many surprises We recline now on chairs of wood and silk To enjoy our swell donuts and some milk

    Delicious hot chocolate

    The Hot Donut never fails to hit the spot, between their range of hot chocolate flavours (including pop corn??) and the many flavours of giant fluffy donuts. The shop opens at 6 am so is always open on my way to work. The staff are always happy to greet you with a smile no matter what hour of the morning :) They also serve Marley Coffee but I'm not a coffee drinker so you'll have to try that for yourself.

    Not a hot donut in fact. It was dry and stale. The filling was good; I had the Kinder bueno variety. The 3 is for having a good spread.

    The Rolling Donut - Lemon Poppyseed and Vanilla Glaze Pistachio

    Only a few blocks away from my hotel stood this gem of a donut shop. With a variety of donut…read moreflavors freshly and temptingly displayed in the window, I absolutely HAD TO stop by to see if they tasted as good as they looked. And... the verdict is in, DROOL!!! I knew immediately I wanted to try the Lemon Poppyseed and I also tried the Vanilla Glaze Pistachio flavor. Both were phenomenal!!! Each bite tasted like a piece of home. Honestly, The Rolling Donut reminds me of Dough in NYC and Brooklyn, my favorite donut spot. Sadly, I did not have an opportunity to go back and try the red velvet donut (with cheesecake filling). But whenever I go to Dublin again, this place will likely be my second stop! 5 stars well deserved.

    I dropped by the Rolling Donut on my last day in Dublin. One of my new friends from the tour group…read moreI joined had mentioned that the Rolling Donut made some really big and tasty donuts, so I simply couldn't resist getting one, and I also wanted to grab one to snack on during my early morning flight back to California. The store is very small and cute, with a majority of the space taken up by the long glass display, which houses their large selection of beautifully decorated donuts. After browsing over the different flavors, the attentive donutarian bagged my order of a single Lemon Poppyseed donut. While on layover in Frankfurt, I finally decided to roll into the lemon poppyseed donutiness... The donut was OK, it had a bready texture, which made sense, because it was a sourdough donut. The glaze on top of the donut was really thick, and it wasn't overly sweet to my taste buds. The glaze also had a light lemon flavor that provided some tartness, and just a few poppy seeds on top. As my friend had mentioned, their donuts are kind of big and filling for one person to eat alone, so I would definitely recommend sharing the love! (and calories)

    John & Yoko held their now infamous bed in's in 1969 and the same sense of voyeurism that the…read morejournalists assumed they would be experiencing has been recreated on Henry Street in the form of a pop up donut shop called Aungier Danger. You see the journalists thought they were going to get something dirty, taboo and filthy upon attending the bed in's and were extremely let down by the hype. Much could be mirrored here in the Henry street window of Arnotts. You see dirty donuts, of all kinds of fillings, chocolate, one had cottage cheese in it and there was plain old fashioned jam adorned with sugar. So you expect that for all the visual vivaciousness that there would be something amazing for the €3 price they are charging for the pleasure of taking one of these donuts away and making a mess of yourself in the comfort of your own home. These donuts are nice but I wouldnt go so far as to say they are out of this world nice. I would also find it hard to distinguish them apart from other donuts from other establishments where you could give donuts to everyone for the same price as 1 or 2 donuts here. Hats off to the creators as they seem to have captured the hearts of a few adoring fans judging by the steady stream of human traffic through the doors. I would recommend giving them a go sometime if donuts are your thing. As for me, these Donuts can't buy me love maybe its just been a hard days night but they can get back to where they once belonged.

    I've heard a lot about Aungier Danger since they opened on Aungier Street earlier this year. I read…read moreabout the queues, the two per person rule etc so I figured they must be damn fine doughnuts I finally got my hands on some yesterday in their pop-up in Arnotts. There were no queues for the 3euro doughnuts here, just me and three disinterested staff members who were too busy having the lolz to even acknowledge my presence when I went in. I ordered the assaulted caramel and banoffee, paid the assistant and left with my two small brown bags. By the time I got home, the assaulted caramel was firmly attached to the top of the bag meaning I lost most of my topping trying to get it out. Me and my fellow doughnut eater thought they were just alright, nothing amazing. They are also extremely sweet but that could be the doughnuts we chose. Overall give me the Dublin Doughnut Company any day of the week... Or failing that a good old fashioned jam doughnut from Superquinn!
