Doughnotts in Leicester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Served by Kate or Katie? Wonderful experience, had a few choices to make due to us being vegan and plant based. She helpfully explained that the dough was vegan, and that it was only the toppings were not. Especially helpful after she was dealing with a guest who was being difficult, belligerent, and rude. Seems as though he had been before and was ready to start a scene, she handled it perfectly and managed to still be polite and well mannered despite his horrible tone. As someone who has worked in hospitality for 7+ years, she should be very proud of her ability to stay calm in those situations. especially while she was on her own!

We love it here. Best donuts ever. Dunkin and krusty Kreme are nothing compaired to these! We got lucky too and managed to get a seat inside as the place itself is quite small.

Visited on Saturday the 22nd of October afternoon, not much choice two different types left, but happy they had been busy two staff in there who think they are being comedic…. But actually really rude and insulting, my daughter and her boyfriend both purchased a doughnut as me and my husband just looked as we were altogether, one of the staff asked me what I would like ? I explained we were just looking and with our family, she replied why don’t you stick a doughnut in your face while you are looking!!!! We tried to laugh it off as I didn’t what to spoil the day, she however thought she was very clever and funny!!! The doughnut were very nice but none of us would ever go in back in the shop if she was there again!!!! Shame

I visited Doughnotts for an afternoon bite and drink with friends. There was a great selection of Vegan food. Yummy 😋 😁 The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place 😁

Visit everytine I come into town & today I was looking forward to a free birthday doughnut. Arrived at the shop about 10 am & it was closed ! Did a bit more shopping went back about 10.45 still closed. Messaged to enquire if they were going to open today Got a reply when I had returned home to say they would be open at 1.30 pm . Explained had left town and now back home so would it be possible to get one another day . Response was no sorry buddy can only be redeemed on birthday 🤷‍♀️ really disappointed in the customer service received today which is normally brilliant in the leicester store !

Great doughnuts, not great for the waist line!!! please can you make the vegan avacardo more regular as it is my daughters favourite, and we can hardly ever get it!

The doughnuts here are really enjoyable and fun. However, the lady working behind the counter was on the phone the entire time, barely said anything to us and just gestured at the card machine and threw both doughnuts in the bag without a box which meant that they were destroyed by the time we got home. Would return for the doughnuts but would try to avoid the in store experience and deliveroo them instead as I was shocked by the service.

Just had a Death By Chocolate Doughnut and a Fentimans! Can’t tell you how happy taste buds are at the moment!

Looking in the window we saw a huge array of doughnuts and went inside. Surprisingly quiet but it was a wet, cold Tuesday in November. The doughnuts looked fabulous with such a striking variety. We eventually chose a 9 pack to take home. Could wait but over a cup of tea we had a veritable sweet feast. My favourite was the Bakewell Tart doughnut but the girls loved all of the choccy ones, the biscoffee and the red velvet. Will definitely go again and buy more when in Leicester or any place that has Doughnotts. Only downer is that we would have loved to have had a coffee in the shop with a doughnut.

Thought I’d give this place a try, as who doesn’t like a decent donut? The shop itself is quiet large and there’s a small glass cabinet containing the doughy treats. Going by the price, I was expecting a vast array of creative flavours and ridiculous deliciousness. Instead it’s a small selection of the same old regurgitated varieties, biscoff, Nutella, Oreos and the usual chocolate bar variants. And that is pretty much IT. I applaud that they cater for vegans etc but the selection is completely soulless. Nevertheless, against my better judgment I spent £3 on a donut. Not a miss-print, they really do cost £3 and upwards!!! It was dry, stale even and sticky. I couldn’t eat it. I totally get the concept. Let’s copy something we saw in Camden Town and bring it to Leicester. Which is fine.. but if you’re going to charge Camden Town prices you’d better deliver Camden Town quality and service. Regardless, I didn’t go without my donut hit. Krispy Kreme in the Highcross is only 2 minutes away. Half the price, 10 times the quality. You guys need to up your game. Because even at £1.50 a donut you’re still way off the mark if the quality of what I had is anything to go by.

Literally the best doughnuts I have ever experienced. Beautiful dough, lovely colourful icings and most of them are vegan! Can't express how much I enjoyed these doughnuts, utterly delicious. Decent price for the euphoric, epiphany-inducing taste experience you get here.

Doughnuts are pretty much my favourite food, and this shop has a decent selection of quality doughnuts with mouthwatering flavours. Choosing a doughnut was pretty difficult, but I went with the red velvet, which looked and tasted amazing. The prices are pretty steep at £2-3 per doughnut but it makes a nice treat if you're feeling flush.

I visited the Doughnotts stand at the recent Leicester Vegan Festival event. I was surprised by the vast selection of vegan doughnuts they offered. Not the cheapest as with any vegan junk food but they tasted so great, I didn't miss the real thing! Great to hear that they have a shop in the city centre as well, i'll be back.

Lovely staff food only a few seats inside to sit they need some outside seating and a bit dear but worth it

My 1st try of these delectable doughnuts and boy they are yummy. Instagram worry & should get you at least 30 likes. Staff worked swiftly & professional- just wished the seating area was bigger!

These are seriously the best doughnuts I’ve had! I love that they change them all the time so every time you go in you can try something new. The only reason not 5 stars is every time I’ve gone in the staff aren’t very friendly or helpful when you ask what the flavour of some doughnuts are as sometimes they have names that don’t explain it.

Visited doughnotts on a Tuesday. Place was empty... Staff unwelcoming almost felt like they didn't want to be there. The staff were least bothered to mention any offers. I wasn't aware tuesdays had an offer of all doughnuts same price. Went ahead and ordered £10 worth of standard doughnuts, gave the 20% off card but told it can't be used in conjunction with any other offer...rather than offering to swap some for premium doughnuts just had to pay full price with no discounts/offers. It is a shame about the staff attitude since the doughnuts are decent quality.

This store (and the concept) really needs a bit of attention. The product isn't bad, but the experience is really disappointing.

Having to be dairy free for my son, I was so excited to find I could eat these doughnuts as there were loads of vegan options.. I had the bakewell doughnut which was delicious, would def come here again.

Visited on Saturday for a late breakfast. Great variety of huge doughnuts, including vegan ones. As we sat and ate our Nutella and white chocolate doughnuts people were popping in to buy snacks or collect preorders, so while it wasnt crowded it was busy. Lovely staff, good coffee, nice atmosphere.

I'm trying to lose weight and these donuts aren't helping haha. They really are amazing. And the regular donuts have the thumbs up from my boyfriend. The selection is fantastic. And the ladies behind the counter were very friendly.

They had so many vegan options that we walked away with a box of 9 vegan donuts.. all for under £20! I've been to another UK vegan donut store and it was more expensive for 6. So I think pricing is great, and they were really tasty!

I was very excited when my sister came home with the lotus biscoff and snickers doughnut. They have a huge selection of doughnuts and an amazing deal on tuesdays (3 for £5!). You can also sit on the side on a stool and enjoy the yummy doughnuts with a cup of coffee.

Seen the Doughnotts sundae on the Instagram story. Went today with my friend and we had a cinnamon doughnut sundae and a red velvet doughnut sundae. The staff we were very friendly and patient.

Death by Chocolate, Salted Caramel, & Powdered Jam

They are peng. The dough is really nice. Sweet all the way through, not dry at all and full of flavour. Had the jammy dodger one and it was great. They are proper big. Not dry. You could share it with a friend if you're worried about calories.

Awesome doughnuts, great selection of flavours, plus vegan options too, worth every penny. Easy to miss

I was addicted to Doughnotts before they even got here! The Leicester store keeps up the excellent service, and standard of food as their original store.

I've been waiting a long time for them to finally come to Leicester!

Don't get me wrong my billionaire donut was yummy!! And worth the calories but they are slightly over hyped for what they are? I thought there would be more selection based on the Instagram posts. Also the snickers one didn't really taste anything like snickers!

We visited here to taste the much hyped doughnuts, but were left bitterly disappointed.

Chunky funky tasty treats! These doughnuts are sooo good! It’s great to see the Silver Arcade being used. It’s not the cheapest but it’s definitely the best doughnut place in Leicester. The menu is extensive and changes regularly, drinks and seating are available too.
