Only a few blocks away from my hotel stood this gem of a donut shop. With a variety of donut flavors 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. read more

I dropped by the Rolling Donut on my last day in Dublin. One of my new friends from the tour group I 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) read more

I went here over the summer, and have had this review sitting in my drafts for awhile. The rolling donut was one of my favorite places in Dublin. They had such fresh and soft donuts, with perfect fillings! I included a photo of the donuts we saw there over the summer, that includes flavors like strawberry Eton mess, pistachio, toffee nut, blackcurrant ripple, and the classic raspberry jam filling. After trying a few bites of my family's donuts, I decided blackcurrant ripple was my favorite. The tart ribbon of currant jam cutting through the light airy cream was just what I was craving- a perfect compromise between conventional jelly and custard filling! I also really liked toffee ripple, but found it just a little too sweet. It needed some kind of slightly burnt dulce de leche filling in addition to the cream to send it through the roof. read more

The Rolling Donut - Dooooonuts!!!! Photo taken over the summer so the selection may well have changed. Blackcurrant ripple and toffee pop insanely good - Donuts Near Me - Dublin, D

Excellent donuts, guess that shows why they've been open since 1978. It's a small little shop but the staff are friendly and efficient. The donuts are delicious and they have a great selection, even some amazing looking vegan donuts. We tried the white Kinder and cookies n cream and they were tasty. read more

The donuts are really tasty. The glaze is amazing. The filling is creamy. Those are just perfect!

11/10 recommend stopping here for all your donut needs!! They have amazing vegan donut options as well as regular donuts as well. We tried a few of them and couldn't decide which was our favorite because they were all so delicious. It is hard to come by good vegan donuts and let me tell you these did not disappoint whatsoever!!! They also have great coffee and tea options to round a great breakfast stop :) read more

Stumbled upon this place while walking around and so happy we did. They specialize in sourdough donuts which were so good! We ordered one plain sugar, Oreo and biscoff and they were all delicious. Super moist and the flavors were amazing! They also sell some coffee and teas. Inside they have four seats, and they have two small tables outside, but its right across the street from the river so we sat there. Line moves quickly and they're well worth any wait. read more

Great find in a tourist area. Smells and tastes like sugar Heaven. Donuts are soft sourdough, not overly sweet. Makes for a good base against sweeter glaze and fillings. Lots of flavor options. It would be very dangerous to have this shop close to home. read more

We were about 50/50 on the donuts we purchased. The Kinder Bueno donut was AMAZING! Get this one! The custard with chocolate icing ("The Dub") was not very good. The apple crumble was a solid middle. Fun and worth trying. I think the sourdough lends better to some flavors than others. read more

The Rolling Donut ended up being our choice lunch in Dublin - hey, vacations are for indulging, right? My husband and I split two donuts - red velvet and chocolate orange. There were so many options that it was hard to decide. Both donuts were huge and filled with the most delicious creams. I'm so bummed that this place doesn't exist in the US - although I would probably be about 300lbs heavier! read more

Rolling Donuts As I am writing this review back in America , I'm dreaming of having a Rolling Donuts location here! I really love the concept and the variety of unique flavors that are displayed as soon as you walk in. Oh and yes, there are vegan flavors! Lots of vegan flavors. Because ordering all of them would have been very unhealthy, I opted for just one raspberry donut. I mean that's kind of healthy right? It has fruit as an ingredient? But wow! The bright yellow theme of the restaurant and plethora of options, including ones for vegans is what made me very happy. The raspberry donut I ordered was so tasty and slightly tart. It tasted the same as a non vegan donut would have typically tasted and I know because long ago I ate donuts made with animal products. Anyways, I am dreaming of having a rolling donut right about now. But if you are ever in Ireland you must visit a Rolling Donuts, I remember seeing a few different locations. As always, go vegan! (Or at least try!) read more

Best donuts of my life!!!! we had a long layover in Dublin so we decided to check out the city a bit. We came across this place and it was heavenly. It makes me sad to think about it because I don't know when I'll be able to have it again. seriously airy donuts and the toppings are not overly sweet and sugary. Just so much deliciousness I cant even describe it. If you're in Dublin, go have a donut or two or a dozen and eat one just for me. read more

Located across from Saint Stephen's Green. Who wouldn't want to go eat some donuts after a day hanging out on the beautiful green lawns of Saint Stephen's Green? Popped in and saw these beautifully designed vegan donuts and I was in awe. (See photos) Oh and don't worry they're not all vegan but they did have some cute names like Unicorn Magic, Coffee Lover, Chocolate Orange Surprise and Coco Loco to name a few. These super cute donuts didn't just look good they tasted good. Definitely a place you'd pop in to get a few donuts & coffee and off you go. It's quite small inside and not somewhere to sit down and hang out. read more

I had a craving for something sweet and found this as a main attraction in the inner streets of Dublin. We set sail on foot to find this infamous place only to find out that they had sold out on their doughnuts for the day and closed up shop as they usually do when they sell out. So the next morning I made it a mission to get there bright and early to get my sweets fix! I arrived bright and early and to my surprise there was a variety of selection of doughnuts and the flavors were all enticing. As you know I am a chocolate a Holic so I had to get the classic chocolate and I also decided to get the red velvet. On to the tasting. So I decided the chocolate would be first surprise surprise right? The real surprise was that the chocolate was not good to me. The doughnut was on a different type of bread and I didn't like it at all. I was disheartened thinking that the red velvet would have the same outcome but I decided to try it anyway. After taking a bite of the red velvet with cream filling I was literally in heaven. The doughnut was covered in chocolate then sprinkles with red velvet and a chocolate heart on top and the cream was to die for. The red velvet is the best red velvet doughnut I have ever tasted. Beyond amazing. If your ever in Ireland Red velvet doughnuts is the way to go. Give your sweet palate a taste of heaven! read more

Well presented nicely branded place image. Good that the shop has a few stools. Staff are friendly. Good choice of doughnuts. About 13. I like the usual flavours. The apple cinnamon doughnut was the nicest I tasted. It was the best value as it was heavy and had lots of stuffing inside. They where rather expensive. 3 euro each. You can order boxed of them and also drinks. read more

Good service but compared to the look, the taste of these donuts is very bread esque and doesn't taste like a donut. Not good coffee. Maybe some of the other donuts are better? I got a pistachio donut. The frosting was good, but the texture of the donut was very surprising. read more

Whether you're in a hurry to work, coming from a pub or sauntering on your day off, the Donut Kiosk on O'Connell Street is an excellent pit stop. Inside the little glass hut, a single worker fries these fatty treats to perfection. There's only two options (sugary or chocolate) but that's all you need. Ask anyone in Dublin and they'll swear that this food stand has been around since they were a little kid. Prices are cheap too: 60 cents for 1 or 3 Euro for 6. You can't go wrong with these tasty snacks. read more

I am craving donuts writing this review. any time i walk down O'Connell street i cannot walk on the right hand side of the street when heading away from the Liffey. Why, you may ask? well thats where the doughnut stand is. Its delicious smells waft all around it and fly up your nostrils and set off some kind of frenzied craving in your brain that send signals to your tummy that start gurling with anticipation of what might be coming. These doughuts are irresistable. i mean they are bits of dough dunked in boiing oil which are then covered in sugar, i mean i should not like these, they are bad for me! why does my brain not know? right, im sorry, i have to stop writing about this place, its equally as dangerous... could set off a major mission to go get a doughnunt! read more

The doughnuts from here are absolutely DELICIOUS. They always have offers on for buying them in multiples, which makes it very easy to justify buying a whole box. The chocolate hazelnut crunch is my favourite, but you can't go wrong with any of their selection, which includes many vegan options! The staff are lovely to boot. Worth popping in, without a doubt. read more

We walked by and the display looked amazing! We had lunch and then said we had to walk back to try them. We got there and the two staff behind the counter just looked at us without saying anything. It was my first time here and they looked impatient as I took 5 seconds to choose. They just said the price and handed the bag and that was it. My friend from Dublin explained they were sour dough and good donuts as we walked away eating them. It tasted ok, I think looked better on the display and the service was bland. read more

Once you walk past the window, you MUST stop in. I'll admit it's the red velvet donuts that had me doing a double take. The donuts look and smell even better from the inside. I was so impressed with the friendly staff there. My friend and I took a very long time examining each donut, reading it's description and mulling things over. After all, choosing one's donut for the day is an important task. The staff was happy to give recommendations as we decided. We were buying them for the next day, so the guy helping us made sure to give us tips (don't refrigerate, eat the red velvet today or else it'll go bad, etc) All the employees were very knowledgable about what was being sold. It's a good deal too! Gourmet donuts can get to be very expensive if you're not careful and I found these to be a good deal at 10€ for a box of three. Definitely recommend and they're very Instagram friendly read more

When I first went here they used to do 6 donuts for a Punt. This place was around before Dunkin arrived, provided a simpler offering and survived after they sank. It's a donut; don't try and complicate something that is beautiful in it's simplicity. A ring, fresh from the oil, rolled in sugar or maybe with a bit of chocolate. My wife worked in Dunkin Donuts in the mid 90's. Some americans came into the shop, looked at the 50 odd types of donuts and the husband said: "They don't have much of a selection, Honey". I sh1t you not! Guys, the secret of successful Donutry can be found at the Rolling Donut, the kiosk that has been here well over 20 years: Hot fresh donut in sugar. You'd think they all would have copped on by now! Some people never learn. read more

I don't like donuts. They're usually so sweet and fatty that it produces an almost unpleasant sensation on the tongue. When Krispy Kreme was the rage 15 years (god I feel old) ago, I never got it. These donuts, though... These are positively sublime. When fresh (and even after a bit of time in the break room) they have a crispy outer crust that gives under just the right amount of tooth pressure to reveal a warm, light, doughy interior that is an utter delight. Easily the best donut I have ever had. read more

When I was naught but a lad, I used to get donuts from this place whenever I could. I recently went back here for the first time in years and it was as good as I remember. If you get them straight out of the fryer they are nice and hot; crispy on the outside and gooey in the middle. Its €4 for 6 donuts. Makes for a nice unhealthy snack when your walking around town. read more

Until I saw this Yelp listing, I'd never paid enough attention to this place to take note of its name. Like an addict scoring, I tended to shuffle up, clutching some change, snatch some of their addictive donuts and skulk away to be alone with the sugar-rush. This is "Jason Statham action movie" food, everything about it should be terrible, and yet... I think if I passed here everyday, I'd get sick of it quickly, but as an occasional treat, it's great. read more

These donuts were soooo good. My favorite was the banana one, although my friend hated it. The maple bacon one had huge pieces of bacon on it and was a close second. I wish I could eat donuts every day. The place is small and has maybe 10 seats or so inside but most people get their donuts to go. read more

confortably sweet, and soft, warm! also very reasonable price! at first when my friend proposed me to eat donuts, I did not expect its quality, but later I had to apology to him. this is truly a donuts, but rather a sweets-like bread, with really good sweetness. only one thing that I did not like was its topping surger. for me a little too sweet. anyway, it's more amazing than you imagine from the price. read more

This place is absolutely torturous. Every time I walk by it takes every fiber in my being to resist stopping off and getting a doughnut! Or a couple of doughnuts! The reason being? There is just the most amazing, delicious smell wafting from the kiosk. The smell of a bit of sweetness, a bit of fried dough. What makes it even harder to resist is that they're dead cheap, all you've got to do is rustle up some loose change in the bottom of your bag and that warm deliciousness is yours! Definitely hits the spot if you're looking for a taste of sweetness! read more

The doughnuts here are some of the best in the city. They can be pretty extravagant at times (maple syrup and bacon on a doughnut? Sounds awful but it's not!)but never fail to taste amazing. Priced at 3 euro a piece they are reasonably priced for what they are - gargantuan doughy delicious messes. I really miss the Hipster's Paradise doughnut (matcha icing and sourdough dough) but that heavy loss aside you should check this place out of you're passing by and can live with the guilt. read more

Amazing Donuts! We only planned to go once for a quick breakfast and ended up going multiple times while in Dublin. We would have gone our last day in the city but we just didn't have the time. If I ever go back to Dublin its one of my first stops. The coffee and the donuts were amazing. read more

Best f*cking donuts in Dublin, as concurred by my childhood self and my present, adult self. Your cholesterol will spike like an 8.2 seismograph reading afterwards and your face will feel oily enough to grease a baking tray, but you will love every warm, luscious, crispy, deep-fried, stodgy, sugary mouthful. Forget those over-priced, tasteless bath sponges they sell in Aungier Danger. These are the real deal! OM-NOM-NOM!!!! read more

Nobody seems quite sure just how long this place has been there, but it is undoubtedly an institution. The chocolate ones are nothing to write home about (or to eh...write to Yelp about) but the sugar rush can not be beaten. On occasion, it can resemble a drop in centre, with a good 10/12 Dubliners lining up for donuts. Being short-sighted I always presume it's an ATM waiting line, but alas.... It's not good for you, but what is anymore? A rare and deserved treat! read more

Yes!!! Soooo delicious. Lovely staff, interesting choices, I had a lemon curd donut and it was like a cross between fried dough from a fair and a dense, expertly crafted donut, dusted with magical sugar powder- loved it!! What a great find. I have an apple cinnamon I'm saving for later.. read more
