Dublin Donut FAQ
Are these doughnut shops ranked?
No. Every shop here is one we would happily send a friend to, so we list them by neighbourhood instead of ranking them.
Can I try several of these on one tour?
Yes. Our Dublin City Centre & Temple Bar Doughnut Tour visits The Rolling Donut on South King Street and O'Connell Street, It's a Trap and Offbeat Donut Co., and so does our festive holiday tour. Lineups can vary by day and season.
Where can I find vegan doughnuts in Dublin?
The Rolling Donut and Offbeat Donut Co. both carry vegan doughnuts, and It's a Trap is a fully plant-based bakery.
