The Kilted Donut in Edinburgh, City of

The best donuts in Edinburgh!! We love the donuts here, with a really good range of vegan/dairy free donuts in loads of different flavours. We always have had great service here too, so thank you!

Don't get me wrong there was nothing wrong flavour wise with the donut. Absolutely tasted of lemon. But afterwards not to my personal liking. Thought it'd be great but just didn't work for me.

They are brazen nice donuts shame about some staff I have never seen a diverse work force there either. White customers treated like royalty, asked to ask any question. Etc red carpet customer Then when a black man arrives they are more of less what do you want etc!! Look for any opportunity to be hostile and a bit rude. Two assistants and comparative experiences to rely on .At the Leith store . However GR maps protects establishments like this . So it is impossible to get a real picture. There . Donuts are decent though . Fair size for the price. Hope they leave the 1960s customer service and treat all equally. In future as black people spend money too and Scotland is evolving.

Unfortunately really disappointed. Followed on instagram and always looks amazing. Travelled to Edinburgh and made a point of going to get donuts. Donuts were stale - could tell some were fresher than others. One was pretty squishy and another was solid. Other 2 more hard than sort, hard to cut / pull apart. No flavour at all. All just same donut with different icings. Wanted to love them so much. Felt silly for buying 4 as only ate bites out of them and couldn’t finish them. Between the 2 of us we had 6 different flavours and all were the same. Also not a donut texture at all more bread like. I do want to comment though that the girl working behind the counter was extremely friendly, pleasant and helpful when we arrived. Shop clean and tidy. Great location. Just a shame about the quality of food we received. I don’t leave reviews often but felt i needed to on this occasion.

The kilted donut was recommended to us by a work colleague and the cinnamon donut was so good. Very large and very tasty. The service was good and the staff very friendly. Would definitely recommend you try it.

So happy to have so many options at this little spot in Grassmarket! We shared a scrumptious vegan pistachio donut that was so good we forgot to take a picture of it. Highly recommended!

Great spot on Grassmarket, but it was looks over substance. Both donuts were stale, would hazard a guess at 3 days old minimum. The cream filling was absolutely and arrogantly standard. Really disappointing when your product doesn't seem to top a Greggs offering. For an infinitely better doughnut, try Tantrum in Glasgow, or Fisher and Donaldson in Fife and Dundee.

Stunning donuts!! I’m vegan and there were so many options! The dough was incredibly, definitely some of the best donuts I’ve ever had! My family who aren’t vegan also really enjoyed the Boston crème!! There is gluten free options too! But try to get the gluten free options before the lunch time rush! Amazing donuts!

Ever since i first saw kilted donut on my tiktok foryou page ive wanted to come here. And when i finally did my first trip to Edinburgh last week i took the chance. I tried their boston creme donut and was pleasantly surprised. The donut was amazing, although it was more on the expensive side. But that is 100% justified because i believe all of their donuts are handmade. Will definitely return in the future!!!

A friend recommended this donut place so I had to prove that I took their recommendation seriously. I got the white chocolate raspberry donut and it was massive (like 1.5x thicker than the krispy kreme donuts ykwim). I promptly walked off the calories by heading towards the castle.

The best donut I’ve ever had!! We went twice and between us tried maple pecan (my number one) Nutella, cinnamon sugar, cinnamon bun and tiramisu which everyone raved about. Coffee was also really good and you can sit across the street on a bench with lovely castle views.

We went to Kilted Donut in the Grassmarket. An amazing selection of donuts, we went back three times on our holiday and tried different ones each time, and none of them disappointed (the Cinnamon Swirl and the Lemon Drop were particular favourites!). Great tea and coffee and some lovely artwork/bags available to buy. The lady who served us each time was brilliant, very friendly and described each donut perfectly. The closest the UK has got to a Voodoo Doughnuts. An amazing view of Edinburgh Castle whilst you sip your coffee and eat your donut too! We will be back! We would most definitely recommend to anyone! ❤️

Donuts were delicious and full of filling, coffee was tbh best I had in Edinburgh, not bitter. The girl who's serving was very friendly and helpful.

Stopped here as they offer vegan doughnuts and I was after a lactose free option. They are on the more expensive side however as this was a birthday treat I was ok with the cost. The doughnuts were great and I’d definitely visit again. Would recommend the cinnamon sugar doughnut.

Got a rhubard & custard doughnut and a chocolate sprinkles doughnut from the Stockbridge shop. Both tasty and the service was very friendly! Quite good value for money as the doughnuts were massive and cheaper than similar shops elsewhere.

Simple and fantastic! An amazing chocolate filled donut, soft and yummy. The latte was a perfect addition. I want more!!!

As soon as we entered the Kilted Donut in Grassmarket we were greeted by a super friendly man who made the experience for us! He went through every option and explained the flavours, which was very helpful since we were overwhelmed with choice as they all looked so delicious. Thank you for being so kind! On to the doughnuts themselves, we tried the Jaffa Cake, The Unicorn and the S’mores. They were all very yummy, but our favourite has to be The Unicorn! Overall, would definitely recommend and thanks again to the man who served us

After a Facebook check to see if open got a response to say Leith shop closed and that the one in Edinburgh was open. Friendly staff and nice shop /cafe . Good selection of donuts with alternative fillings and toppings which stand out from the normal crowd .Well worth the visit.

Very nice donuts and tea (by eteaket). Highly recommend to come and have a bite. Nice deal during weekday, donut and coffee for a fiver. Staff is exceptionally friendly and service was very good. The cafe was nicely decorated and a relaxing place to rest and relax. Some tables even come with wireless charger! Would have more donuts if I knew of this place sooner.

Cute little donut cafe in the wonderful area of Stockbridge. Excellent, friendly service and delicious coffee. We had the vanilla and lemon donuts. There was an excellent gluten free choice on offer and this was an ideal place to stop after visiting the botanical gardens.

If you’re looking for great donuts, excellent service and a warm environment, look no further than the Kilted Donut. Special thanks to Rachel for helping us out.

I’ve been wanting to come here for a while now but it’s a little out the way for us. Thankfully we were heading to Stockbridge so it was our perfect opportunity. The shop is a lot smaller than expected but it made me like it even more. There aren’t a massive selection of donuts which I expected but that made it easier for us to decide so that’s a positive. We quickly decided we wanted the Eton mess pretzel donut (maybe because it was the biggest) and it was delicious! The texture was spot on and tasted amazing!! I also got a nice cuppa (can’t remember the name of it) which was lovely. The girl that served us was very nice and welcoming. The shop is cosy and well hidden. It was maybe on the expensive side but well worth it.

This was a fantastic little find. Came across the shop on a walk and the doughnut was lovely. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Recommend the biscoff doughnut.

Popped in after a day out in town. Donuts were top notch only matched by the awesome service. Coffee was excellent also.

A great little cafe we found on the Water of Leith walkway. Very friendly with great coffee and doughnuts. Go to the Golden Hare bookshop a few doors down for a perfect morning!

Everyone needs to try these doughnuts. They are just out of this world. If I could, I would have them everyday. I would be overweight, but very happy!!

Honestly, best tasting donuts around. Portions are great, and have a range of great tasting flavors that change weekly. Would recommend to anyone.

Came in to the shop to an amazing smell, friendly service, and huge colourful doughnuts. Bought a 6 pack for my wife and I and chose a Boston Crème, cinnamon swirl, and Pecan pie for myself. The flavours are nice particularly the cinnamon swirl, although...

We visited this shop when we went to Edinburgh. The doughnuts were worth the money. We looked on the website before we visited, but was left a little disappointed as we wanted to try some of the wacky flavours advertised but the shop on had...

Doughnuts are average tasting personally, some quite dry on the edges maybe could have benefitted from more filling/fillings at all? The doughnuts have a heavily fried flavour so not for me personally! Flavours are okay but nothing overly exciting upon our visit. Service was also...

Stopped by this shop to pick up some doughnuts as had heard good things. The doughnuts were lovely. Very yummy indeed. But the service left a lot to be desired. The lady behind the counter was extremely unwelcoming and looked at me as if I...

Very much recommend this place. Their doughnuts are so fresh and tasty. Light and gooey at the same time. I'd recommend the creme brulee and all the chocolate. Lots of filling 😊

We just had a few boxes of these delivered to work, and no exaggeration, these are the best donuts I've ever tried! Chewy on the inside and slightly crispy outside (coconut was especially heavenly). Take my advice - Go there, buy at least two, eat...

As a big doughnut fan, I searched out the very best doughnut places in Edinburgh in advance of a weekend in Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival. Heard great things about 'The Kilted Donut' so had to pay them a visit! They're only a small shop...

These are proper donuts, made in front of your eyes. Also smaller donuts - called ‘kiltlies’. The coffee is good too.

The kilted donut!! I can't believe I didn't know about this place before I got to Edinburgh. It is worth going all the way to Edinburgh just to have the pleasure of visiting their friendly little store.

Very tasty and super filling Scottish donught shop. We bought half a dozen but there is no chance 2 will eat them all, they are huge and quite heavy but yum!

Sooooo so good, great dough and very tasty flavor. The lemon drop donut is a bomb. Highly recommended
