A reviewer below said that they cater too much to āVegansā which I donāt think is the case at all. I eat meat, and am the luckiest person when it comes to vegan/vegetarian options and I can tell you right now I choose my doughnuts based on the flavor that youād expect and the VEGAN aspect makes no difference at all to the doughnuts and their taste. The red velvet doughnut is to die for, and so is their glazed. If you like crazy flavors, they have a new menu all the time and have one offs so keep your eyes peeled on their instagram.
They keep waste to a minimum by closing early when they sell out instead of over baking. Which sucks when you feel like one and theyāre closed, but fantastic in other ways.
The customer service in their pop up stores were always amazing, Iāve had an ok experience with I think the manager at the Lincoln store. (heās a guy, Iām sorry I donāt know his name) heās probably just really busy and trying to keep an eye on the new store, but I think a smile or two would help. He just always looks rushed and annoyed. But like I said, a new store so understandable. The rest of the them are LOVELY. I always get served by this on girl who I think is fairly new, she is so nice.
The only negative is that they are a bit slow on serving doughnuts. So if thereās a line youāll be waiting a little while. Again, itās a new store so thatāll pick up.
Thank you Doughnotts, Iāll miss you when I emigrate home to NZ. I still have 6 months on my gold card too! What am I...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI bought a couple of the premium doughnuts from the Lincoln store as a birthday present for a friend and then one standard āred velvetā for myself. They were really well received! Itās a really good idea for an affordable gift option for students, thereās even gift vouchers if you donāt know what flavours they might want.
There was such a wide variety of flavours! Whilst Iām not vegan myself there were so many vegan options. I didnāt realise that even the non-vegan ones contain a vegan doughnut with non vegan toppings until my second visit, they tasted really fresh and yummy, I honestly couldnāt tell the difference.
All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, especially when it comes to advising you with the flavours, they all looked incredible and itās really difficult to narrow it down quickly. I thought it was really impressive and reassuring that they are cautious about any allergies or diet requirements.
The store itself is a really nice environment, plenty of seating to say that it is primarily a doughnut shop rather than a coffee shop. With the shop being relatively central itās not too far away from the University to pop into with friends and to grab one with a drink.
Really enjoyed my experience and canāt wait to visit the other...
