So love these Donuts. The only donut shop in Australia I've found that has crullers. Bravo!

The donuts were good and service was quick although the flavours were all samey but, overall would come again read more

Shortstop Coffee & Donuts - Donut - Donuts Near Me - Barangaroo, NSW

some people may not know, but this place has some of the best coffee in Sydney and that with a doughnut and you are a happy chappy

Their donuts are made fresh daily, and it's in a prime location in Barangaroo. Some of the donuts are a little on the oily side, but they're more on the cake-y side - which I like! I really like their Australian Honey & Sea Salt Cruller. The Earl Grey & Rose Donut is VERY flavorful. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed their Salted Coconut Yuzu & Kaya Donut. The citrus taste was quite refreshing. I thought I'd like their Maple Walnut & Brown Sugar more than I did, but I have to adjust my taste buds & remember that I'm not North America. I like how they rotate their flavors, so I'll be sure to go back & try more flavors read more

Doughnuts are fresh and roll out as they open. Very rich so one would be sufficient with coffee. Coffee was good but the large size is not really a large. Hoo friendly service. read more

Lovely fresh made donuts place. I wish they have better coffee option which will help to bring the taste out of the donuts. Service is about right. Somehow, I found that many coffee and donuts shops in CBD run by Asian. So, you know that if you doesn't like the American sweet, then you can try the Asian style donuts. ..lol read more

To be honest I have been disappointed with donuts in Australia. I stopped even trying to eat them, no matter how pretty they seemed. They have a density that is somewhat off putting to an American used to a lighter texture. I come from SF, the home of Mr Holmes (well, along with LA) and Bobs, and that place on 3rd and King with the best apple fritters you can probably get, Donut King or something? I hate to even mention Neighbor Bakehouse because the Dogpatch is getting crazy. I won't be wasting my precious calories eating a bad donut. That said, I had a moment of weakness after a very good meal at Anason around the corner. Turkish, and I wrote a glowing review for it. Coming around the corner I spotted some Gorgeous looking doughnuts! I took home the peanut butter and jam one. Creamy peanut butter filling with very strawberry flavored icing. Donut was yeasty and good, slightly denser than a fluffy US donut, but not heavy as lead or anything. Really very nice, or maybe I am getting used to Australian donuts? Going native? Let me be clear that Mr Holmes passion fruit filled donut (or almost any of their filled donuts) are the best of class, top ranked donut in my history. This was not as good as that, but it was really pretty good. Trying to help out my fellow SF travelers who are probably very frustrated with almost no Yelp help in Australia. Yes, you can trust me. Tip-use Dimmi here, don't try to use open table. read more

With stores located only in Sydney and Melbourne, Shortstop serves an array of unconventional sweet and flavorful donuts as well as handcrafted coffee.

The top 3 and most popular donuts (or CAKEs) are Mocha CAKE, Earl Grey & Rose CAKE and Triple Matcha CAKE. Although they call it CAKE... it appears as donut dressed like a cake... or is it a cake in the shape of donut?? Hmm... something to think about. If there is still room for more indulgence, the Strawberries & Cream FILLED donut will satisfy any sweet-tooth cravers, while Cinnamon, Cardamom & Sugar RAISED donut will serve lighter and conventional tastebuds. read more

You know when you just 'can't even'? Yep. You get it then. No explanation required. The doughnuts here are supreme; their glaze rendering me weak at the knees. Having visited the store in Melbourne a few weeks back, I took the opportunity last night to wander down to the store on Barangaroo Ave just before closing time. Without a hint of hesitation, Elana C. & I order a Whiskey, Maple, Bacon Doughnut, a Boston Cream & an Earl Grey & Rose with a couple of cappuccino's to boot. We strap our eatin' pants on & take a seat at the far end of the store. The goods land on our table within minutes, the doughnuts eyeing me with their glaze'y deliciousness. Cutting each in half, they survive no longer than minutes. The Whiskey, Maple, Bacon; elevated by hints of bacon, cutting effortlessly through the sugariness of the glaze. The Boston Cream; with its oozing guts, punches us in the mouth repeatedly with bold notes of chocolate & vanilla. Each doughnut is wonderfully decadent, delicate & everything a doughnut ought to be. In a moment of clarity, we take the Earl Grey & Rose to go, the opportunity to enjoy it later with a cup of tea at home proving too much. Packing it into my handbag, we rug back up & head back out into the crisp Sydney evening. we will absolutely be back. If you're looking to be ruined for doughnuts forever, Shortstop is your place. You're welcome! read more

Shortstop Coffee & Donuts lives up to its name with some of the finest donuts and most memorable flavours. This little oasis hides in the shadows of Barangaroo's monstrously tall corporate buildings. But don't let that fool you, despite its size this place has a voice to be heard. A delicious doughy voice. Service is amazing, hands down. Sparkling water is offered to you while you think over which donut to order. Tables are quickly cleared and cleaned, and the staff are only too happy to assist. I was even able to have a conversation with one of the bakers as she iced a tray of Vanilla Bean Raised. The flavours are just as tasty as they are unique. They capture both imagination and balance. They find that right level of sweetness which makes you forget about all your troubles and worries. The dough is perfectly precise; soft and squishy yet firm and pronounced. It's bright looks, wooden decor, large windows and high ceilings gives a feeling of freedom, even though there is limited space and seating. If you are unable to grab a table, worry not, as you are only a few seconds away from King Street Wharf. Range of coffee is a little limited, but who cares when you have the best donuts in town! read more

Among those flavour that tried today, the best one is New Orleans iced coffee. The coffee is very strong and dominant and not to sweet. The rest as I tried just ok, nothing so spectacular. However coffee is just nice. I am definitely will be back for burnt caramel flavour read more

I was so excited because of the line and beautiful donuts but was let down. I'd try again, there was nothing wrong with the donut I had per say, but it was dull. I feel that way a lot with unfilled donuts, maybe I should just stick to filled..... Staff were nice and they have a good system to get you in and out! read more

I can certainly vouch for the quality of the Sydney donut shop having earlier this year eaten Shortstop donuts in Melbourne. They are almost better in their execution and freshness, although it probably helps that they are eaten while looking out on Sydney harbour on it's summery-winters-June day only a few steps away from the Barrangaroo storefront. You simply have to try the tiramisu donut if it's on offer, and the burnt butter with maple walnut is even better! How the hell do they do it?! 5/5 is well deserved. Just ask my belly :-D read more

Beautiful donuts. I was excited to try the salted coconut, yuzu and kaya. Unfortunately it's so overbearingly sweet that you can hardly taste the yuzu. It'd be much better if they used lighter icing or removed it altogether. read more

Dropped in for some Artisinal Donuts at the new Shortstop in Sydney. The warm Burnt Caramel, Fennel & Sea Salt donut or the Maple Walnut and Brown Butter were more like desserts you might have after a very nice dinner. After ordering, they will bring your donuts to your table or take them to go. Unfortunately, I already had my morning coffee. read more

In my Friday afternoon search for the best place in Barangarangarangaroo (or however you spell it) to grab a coffee and find a seat so I could get some work done (which, by the way, is apparently something locals don't do at the end of the week), I found myself passing by the fanciest donut shop I have ever seen. Now, while I consider myself to be a donut connoisseur, my wheelhouse is firmly within the realms of proletariat donuts. I don't need bacon, fancy colors, or instagrammable donuts. I want oil and sugar! But, let me tell you, Shortstop has some inventive donuts as well as a selection that spans the gamut. Instead of ordering a donut from a case, a donut expert takes your order and sends it magically to the back. Within a couple minutes, you'll have an artisan donut in your hand and, a few seconds later, in your belly. With a delightful storefront and amazing offerings, this place is bound to please. read more

Not your average donut! They mix it up with Asian fusion flavours and also get creative. I've tried the coffee which is my fave. Ask about the density of the donut as some are a bit on the cakey side. I prefer the lighter batter so I vote the coffee and the salted one! Mmmm read more

Shortstop Coffee & Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Barangaroo, NSW

Lovely little shop, very friendly and helpful staff. I noticed their quick attention to detail. They don't have skim, soy or almond milk but their coffee is beautifully crafted, although the beans are nothing out of the ordinary. Doughnuts are nice, modest selection, would love more flavours in the future, defiantly keeping a lookout for those! I only gave 4 stars for the doughnuts and coffee, but 5 stars for the customer service for sure! Oh and I'm sooo happy this joint's open till late, need more places like these around! read more

Finally! They have opened a Sydney store. These donuts have a really nice texture and not too full on. I have sampled the peanut butter caramel and the Earl Grey. I liked the Earl Grey more as it had a nice lite flavour. The peanut butter felt a bit heavy. Just good ole simple donuts that have great flavours combinations. I look forward to trying more flavours! read more

Perhaps I was just coming at the wrong time. The place is so open & nice atmosphere around but there was a construction going on. So noisy. Best smelling coffee ever, but they don't have skinny/ skim milk. The doughnut I tried was a bit different in flavour (worth to try) & looking very fancy! But, the menu is very limited. All in all, worth to try out. A perfect start to the weekend before exploring the Barangaroo Reserve Park. read more

Shortstop Coffee & Donuts - Burnt salted caramel, fennel, & sea salt Doughnut. - Donuts Near Me - Barangaroo, NSW

Awesome donuts. I am not a huge donut fan however my son absolutely goes nuts over any selection from here

Excellent donuts. The rose and earl grey one was smaller and quite dense and wet. It had a nice balance of the two flavours. The maple walnut and brown butter donut was my favourite. It was quite large and the contrast between the nuts and flour was excellent. I would recommend one donut between two people. Complimentary sparkling water for dine in customers and service is exceptional. Limited seating indoors and outdoors. About 12 minutes walk to the nearest train station. read more

Very unique flavors and very good, but not as good as American donuts. We tried 5 different flavors and we liked the maple bacon the best and the cinnamon the least. The earl Grey was unique...not bad...but different. read more

Incredible service and relaxed atmosphere. Their donuts are tasty with interesting flavours, the Australian honey and sea salt cruller as well as the earl grey donut is a must try. Only wish they provided dairy free milk options for people with allergies like me as their black cold brew was run out when I was there and their iced coffee had milk in it. read more

No one I know who's had Shortstop donuts ever say the donut was bad. There are some flavours which are a miss for me but I guess that all boils down to personal preference, because if I didn't like the flavour, the quality of the donut was always exceptional. Light and fluffy, sweet but not too sweet. They don't need loud designs in the shop and fancy packaging (unlike some other donut shop around) because the product speaks for itself. If you want to hang out, you can also get coffee refills for a small fee. My favourite donut flavours are the Maple Walnut Butter and Cookies and Cream. read more

Donuts are good... but a little bit too sweet its really hard to eat more than one. Doesn't really live up to the hype. But they are just donuts after all..... oh they will get you with the if you get more that 2 we put them in a box rather than a bag.... of course I want the box ! read more

Great coffee. Sublime donuts. And really, really lovely service. Although they don't serve almond milk, the coffee was the perfect salve to a frustrated afternoon. And my donut: wow. Salted coconut and Yuzu flavoured, it was wondrously light and delicately flavoured. Finally, as I sat opposite my office, ruing the day that was about to end, one of the staff brought me a glass of water and a beaming smile. This, for certain, is a feel-good place. read more
