    Gorgeous donut and coffee shop. Doughnuts are huge and delicious, coffees and chai lattes tasty and hot. 5/5 will definitely come again and again to sample all the range!

    Definitely my favourite local for donuts! Huuge donuts with loads of variations and the dough tastes great. They even do ice coffee too! ❤️

    An absolute gem! They have the best donuts in town with so many flavours to choose from (including vegan). The staff is lovely, always happy to help and coffee is very tasty ☕️🍩. They have a donut for every pocket with different "donut of the day" each day for 2 euros and offer a 10% student discount 🤩 100% recommend!

    Many great looking options for donuts! The coffee smelt good, but I didn’t try it. I went with a suggestion by an employee- the pistachio with a sugar glaze. It was pretty darn good, but a bit dry/stale (common theme here). The filling was super sweet- perfect for me, and helped the dryness of the donut. The actual donut wasn’t too flavorful (you know sometimes the donuts can be eaten plain because the batter is so good) Cute seating area and nice staff

    This place is amazing! This prices are not that cheap but worth EVERY penny. Being American this donut spot can go heads up with any place in America as far as donuts. I only wish they had cold coffee like frappuccinos, etc. But don't let that stop you because with the week I visited Dublin I think me and my family went 3 times. Keep up the good work and we will be back when visiting your city again. :)

    When you walk into the city centre, you will find many Donut shops.. and we picked @thehotdonut as our first meal in Dublin 🇮🇪 🍩 Day of Dount - strawberry flavour ☕️ Caramel macchiato The donut is fluffy and not too sweet !! I think it is a perfect match with my coffee choice ⭐️

    One of the few coffee places open before 7 a.m. offering decent coffees and donuts. The donuts look super tasty and it will be hard to decide which one you want. My Oreo donut had some filling in the center, but could be better if the filling was more evenly spread. My chai latte was ok, but could use some improvement. Overall, the place provides decent options to satisfy your morning coffee and donut needs.

    Try Apple and Cinnamon Glazed Donut (I am not a big fan of fruity foodies - I am chocolate lover, but this one you def won’t regret!). If you are chocolate lover go for Ferrero or Oreo (simple amazing). I used to work in THD in 2021 so I tried them all, this one is the dearest and the one that never left over! So far this is one of my fav places to drink a nice coffee and have yummy donuts (even today). The donuts are daily prepared for amazing bakers (few Polish bakers, following the real Polish recipes). All well prepared. The coffee beans is great quality coffee (Marleys) and staff always with big smile attending customers. As a coffee lover, this place has my heart!

    Delicious donuts and good coffee. The donuts are huge. Some were a bit dry, but the abundant filling made up for the moisture missing in the dough. Friendly and helpful staff to boot. Nice choices of seating outdoors. A single wooden bar top inside that will accommodate four or five people. Worth a stop if you’re in the area and craving a sweet treat and beverage.

    A quick update! For the six week lockdown you can't sit outside, but you can still get the incredible tasting donuts, and coffee to go. Hopefully when the lockdown is lifted, it will be possible to sit outside again. Very impressed in these Covid times to see staff disenfecting tables immediately after each use. The friendly service of the staff and the social distancing of tables made this a venue I will definitely make as one of my regular stops in town. The donuts were incredible! Such a fantastic choice of flavours, they even have vegan donuts! I had the Bailey's donut with a latte. Oh! The rich Bailey's cream on the inside was indescribable! I plan to work my way through their entire range! They have outdoor seating, some of it under large outdoor umbrellas and they have a reward card system for each time you eat there. Minimum payment is 5 euro which is well worth it for the quality of the donuts, variety of drinks, location and most importantly, friendly, professional staff. I'm posting photos of the range if donuts, so read the creations and drool!

    amazing donuts. ordered this at 11:30 at night on deliveroo n was kinda sus when we saw the place closes at 9:30. we were expecting some pretty stale old dumpster ‘nuts. BuT! they were respectfully not-too stale at all. definitely the least stale donuts i’ve ever eaten. the dough of the vegan donuts were definitely better than their non-vegan counterparts. keep it up <3

    Good variety of dairy free (vegan) donuts, lovely staff. Limited number of tables, expected for O'Connell street.

    Came here for a donut and a coffee this morning and everything was superb. The coffee was so nice and was at the perfect temperature, the donut was by far one of the best donuts I have ever had. It was so fresh and the filling 😍. The workers were so nice and friendly too so overall 5 stars. Keep it up!

  • 5/5 Sarah E. 8 months ago on Google
    Your sweet tooth will thank you! I had the white chocolate donut, the Oreo donut, and the ferro Rocher donut. I also got a Carmel latte. Everything tasted great! The filling inside the donuts were unexpected but a welcomed surprise. My coffee was fantastic and there was no need for additional sugar. Service was great and I felt very welcomed. The best part was being able to watch the dough being rolled while I waited. While I was just strolling and found the shop by strolling, it was a great surprise. The shop was centrally located and easy to find. I will definitely visit again.

    The WIDEST variety of vegan donuts!! Not only are these absolutely freaking delicious, they also have the NICEST coffee! Just perfect combination, 10/10.

    Awesome Donuts 🍩 and a very tasty coffee. Don’t go there if you are on a diet :)

  • 5/5 Alexandra 1 year ago on Google
    Polish donuts, the best in the world. Although I try to avoid sweets, this is my "must have" every time I visit Dublin. Friendly service, delicious coffee and heavenly sweets. I recommend visiting this place, try the donuts and I'm sure many people will come back for more.

  • 5/5 Shaun R. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place. Been in Dublin for 5 days and have been here 3 times. Staff are friendly, prices are decent and the donuts and coffee tastes great. (Donuts are good size too with some nice different flavours like Snickers, Nutella, blueberry etc) On top of the range of donuts (which they do vegan too if required) you have a small eating area outside where you can smoke too whilst enjoying a coffee and cake. Will definitely be stopping off for another bite before we leave for airport. And again if we return to Dublin.

    Amazing place and super friendly staff. Donuts are delicious and they have the coolest flavors. Definitely a must visit. I was from Canada and they did their absolute best to accommodate my cream for my coffee. Edit this is from September 2019

    If i'm around in city centre, i always make sure to drab by in The Hot Donut. They make an amazing coffee and to top of that, their donut is a must buy. It's gorgeous, fresh & moist. ♥️♥️

  • 4/5 Amy 2 years ago on Google
    Bought 3 donuts for 8.50. Oreo flavoured was very good, filling is very strong with white chocolate and the donut was soft. We got two but one was a lot more stale, because we went later on in the day. Their kinder bueno filled donuts do not taste like kinder. The filling reminded me of sugary wafers which was too overpowering.

    Donuts looked really good—got the blueberry one and sad to say it was not good (tasted stale)👎

  • 5/5 Elena A. 2 years ago on Google
    very friendly staff and always great coffee. It's always nice to start your day with nice people. My baby boy who is 4 love this place, specially their sprinkle donuts. This is one of the places that I will recommend to all my friends to visit in Dublin !!!

  • 5/5 Guido M. 2 years ago on Google
    I promise to myself to try new place when in city centre but I keep coming back to Hot Donut to try new donuts! Love the variety of products, the glass where you can see where the magic happens, the staff - friendly each time, they are really amazing. Well done to you all!

    Had the Biscoff and Peanut butter donuts. I wasn't a huge fan of the Biscoff one but I'm also not a huge fan of chocolate which was the main flavor. The peanut butter one however was absolutely delicious! The donuts themselves are very light and fluffy and are worth treating yourself. Just wish I had a good cold milk to help with the peanut butter! Lol

👍👍 After looking everywhere for lactose free milk, finally found it here in the food hall. Beautiful design, sort of art nouveau, with iron casted architecture, diverse shops and cosy interiors. Really recommend also for tourists who need to shop forgotten items.
