    I previously had some issues with my order here. When I raised concern, I was helped right away. Very good customer service. They took the time to explain the issue and look into the problem. They helped me out and I am very grateful. The last time I ordered the vegan donuts were well made and I was happy with the size.

    GLUTEN FREE DONUTS!!!! OMG. The best I've ever had anywhere. They are very careful about cross- contamination and keep everything separate. Donuts are frozen after baking, but once you order them, they are brought to room temperature and prepared how you like. I got a half dozen (yep. All to myself too). I had Toasted Coconut on a vanilla donut, Boston cream, chocolate frosted, cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar and a chocolate frosted strawberry filled. Everything was to die for. Incredible flavor, incredible texture, nothing disappointed me. If you want a donut and you're gluten free, go to Rebel Donut. Ignore the calories. Just enjoy pure donut bliss!

    We stopped by here for the very first time and were absolutely blown away by the donuts we purchased. Every single donut was amazing and flavorful! Even the employee working was super friendly as he recommended certain donuts for us to try. If you’re used to major chain donut shops, yes, the price is higher. However, you’re paying for higher quality donuts AND supporting a local business. It’s a win-win for me! I will happily shop here again when I’m in town.

    Was visiting ABQ for the weekend and wanted a special quick breakfast. We got a 1/2 dozen asstd. of cake and a vegan one. All were good! The donut part of the birthday cake donuts didn’t have a ton of flavor but the glaze and the texture of the donuts made up for that. The blueberry and the pumpkin glazed were amazing and some of the best we’ve ever had! Definitely would come back! Fun and delicious treat!

    Awesome little donut shop. Great staff , delicious eye opening coffee. Will definitely be back for more. I would advise getting there early so you can get a good pick of the donuts be cause they will sell out.

    Rebel Donut I found myself with a little extra time in Burque than planned and what’s better then ending a good trip with donuts?! Nothing, don’t @ me. And it would be absolutely unacceptable to go anywhere else than the famous Rebel Donut for a taste of their “Blue Sky” donut, inspired by Breaking Bad. Also I’m a always fiending for a good donut. The treat is a vanilla cake donut with blue vanilla frosting sprinkled with crushed blue rock candy made by Albuquerque’s own “Candy Lady.” I can’t say the ring was most innovative donut I have ever had but it was delicious! The candies added a unique crunch you don’t often get from eating donuts. But it basically tasted like a really really good vanilla donut with cotton candy frosting. The Blue Sky isn’t their only unique nut. In fact they’ve got a large selection of unique tasty cakes! I tried the Ladybug, Triple Chocolate and Crumb Cake. Out of the four, the Ladybug was the most out there. The frosting legit tasted like red Starburst candies! I thought it was a little bit of a strange combo with the chocolate cake, not bad at all but you’ll remember it! The Triple Chocolate was just that - a lot of chocolates. Much richer than the chocolate cake used for the Ladybug, and much more frosting. RICH frosting, almost like ganache. This one paired the best with a big cup of milk. It was absolutely fantastic. The Crumb Cake was the least creative of the four donuts but equally as delish. It’s super messy so you’ll need a napkin unless you like crumby pants. Plenty of cinnamon crumb topping piled on top of a phenomenal vanilla cake. I only wish I had more time and room in my belly for more! These were so good. I’m a fan!!!

    Love coming here for donuts, the best place Ive gone to for vegan options, they come in a wide variety however every time Ive ordered coffee to go with it I feel it very lacking. I'd recommend coming for the donuts and waiting to get your coffee at a preferred location

    For our first time at Rebel, we only tried less than a dozen on this trip. My wife loved the french toast one, but I was a real fan of the maple cream! The creme filling is almost as good as Donut Bank’s (in Evansville, Ind). In fact, I was kicking myself later for only buying one. Oh well! Guess there’s always next time, right? Anyway, donuts aside, this location was easy to find (only a couple of blocks away from Saul Goodman’s office and Walter White’s house 😉), but the entrance (located in the back of the building) was a bit of a pain to navigate after going to the front of the building and seeing a sign reading “Exit Only”. Inside, staff almost seemed a little bothered to have a customer there. Still, if you like good donuts and you’re in Albuquerque, I suggest stopping by.

    We came for the Blue Sky donuts but we will be back because calories have never been so deliciously naughty! Friendly staff, great service. We came in the time of the ‘rona so you enter through the back and exit through the front.

    Rebel has been my favorite donut shop for years! Including ALL the national chains. Heartbroken to see them close. Thanks for the great donuts and customer service over the years!

    My family and I ate here for breakfast on our last morning in Albuquerque. My wife was excluding dairy from her diet at the time, and they had dairy-free options, which was much appreciated. Definitely worth a stop.

    These are really good donuts...I only eat year donuts, so I cannot tell the cake ones, but everything from the dough to the frosting was perfect. They are a good size as well... You only feel a little guilty if you eat six at once.

  • 5/5 Laura A. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious. They have a lot of unique donut flavors, including vegan and gluten free options. We ordered the French toast donut, pumpkin with chocolate, bacon red pepper chocolate donut, and an Apple fritter. All of the donuts were 10/10 with the French toast being the best! We will definitely be back!

    Came for gluten free donuts. I called and asked if they had gf, they said yes but they take 7 minutes to make and if I want to place an order over the phone. I said sure, but they made me pay over the phone with a credit card before I arrived and asked if I wanted to tip which was weird. GF donuts were COLD, and a little sticky on the bottom like they had been frozen, they were drowned in icing that was warm in just a couple places. Pretty but not good and overly sweet. Not worth the $. Overall I’m disappointed. If you are looking for a good gf donut, go to Two Boys. I am not in any way affiliated with either company.

    Excellent service at the counter! I was picking up 3 dozen donuts for a place of work. The employees said the donuts were fantastic! They had a random mixture of the donuts available. Highly recommend!

    Amazing friendly service and great selection of donuts. The French toast donut is a must try! They also have really good strong coffee that pairs well with any of the donuts here. Whether passing through or staying a few days this is a place worth stopping to try.

    Loved their flavors & names. The donuts were delicious. Not dry or too moist 👌🏼 We also came super late like 10:30 am and they still had plenty left 🙌🏼

    Maple bar was great, i got one without bacon. The maple has a whole slice of baoon on it. These two are frosted with maple frosting, but are not filled. They offer a round maple that is filled. Coffee was good. Update Still Great

    We have enjoyed rebel Donuts since they opened, they have excellent variety of dough type, frosting, and decorations. They also offer a decent variety of vegan donuts! We have also ordered larger quantities from them several times and have always been satisfied. One time there was a problem with the order, and their customer service was excellent.
