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.
