    Dubai chocolate donut (note coffee is from a different cafe called Nero two doors down with more room to sit)
    gina b.

    The BEST donuts! Every time I'm in town I must visit this place! It's a small shop, not a lot of room to sit but grab a donut anyways! This time I got the Dubai chocolate one and it did not disappoint!

    Very quaint shop with 4 seats, definitely designed for to go treats. An eclectic selection of sweets await in the glass case as soon as you walk in. Wonderful variety of very well constructed and presented donuts for your eyes to explore and your stomach to urgently desire. We went with the apple crisp and it was delicious. Wonderful pastry surrounding a core of apple with perfect balance. Lovely shop with friendly staff and great selection. Very much worth the stop and the indulgence.

    Looking for dessert or a pick me up in Dublin? Rolling Donut will not disappoint! Seriously, rows & rows of different donuts. I got the red velvet & it was chefs kiss. They have plenty to choose from so don't worry, you'll find something you like! Order at the glass case of donuts & you'll be on your way. Very limited seating so not the best for large groups but they do have tables for 2.

    Okay, so this is the oldest donut shop in Ireland birthed by the original guy; however, this is not his original donut shop location. The actual location is on Lower O'Connell street and they offer only three flavors/kinds. This place has many different flavors of donuts and deals primarily in traditional Irish donuts or a version of such. What's a traditional Irish donut? It's a yeasty donut that is made with sourdough and filled with some sort of jam or cream. The donut has a more dense less airy quality than an American donut but it isn't too heavy on the stomach. The filling is more of a jam consistency than jelly or if cream-filled, it's more creamy and light than thick. We enjoyed traditional Irish sourdough red velvet, raspberry, and blueberry donuts, each being better than the last. My overall favorite, however, was the raspberry. My son is not down with the filled donuts so he enjoyed a non-filled, unicorn themed donut. Overall, out of the three donut places we've tried in Dublin this is our favorite. It's perfect for a dessert or just a quick, anytime of the day treat. No matter your taste in donut, they can accommodate. Enjoy!

    These donuts were beautiful and tasty to boot! The staff was super friendly as well as we had so many options it was hard to pick. I had the chocolate orange and my hubs the Oreo. Delectable!

    Came here as a mate said he wanted donuts, was not left disappointed! I ordered an apple donut for about €3.50. For a gourmet donut this price was very reasonable. But when I bit into it, I found a lovely surprise. The filling was actually spiced apple chunks, which tasted delicious. At his donut was probably filled to the brim with this custard and it was delicious, definitely well crafted and worth more than every penny. The service was quick and polite to me, my mates, and the other patrons. Quick and reliable service that made the experience even better. The ambiance of the restaurant was so great, even though there was little place to sit. Def a "to-go" establishment, but very clean and provided a lovely atmosphere!

    Walked past The Rolling Donut and KNEW I had to stop to grab a sweet treat! I stopped by midafternoon and they still had quite a few donut options available. They said they are normally open till 9pm or when they sell out. They had a lot of fun choices in regular donuts and vegan donuts! I asked a worker which she recommended and she said the Kinder Deluxe (milk chocolate & white chocolate) were their best sellers; sold! The donut has a sourdough base with hazelnut cream filling and chocolate on top. I ate my donut the next morning and it was still soft! The chocolate frosting was just light enough and hazelnut filling was lighter than I was expecting. Loved happening upon this spot and am already craving anither donut!

    While in Dublin, we were looking for a quick donut spot before we headed out. Rolling Donut was super close and in one of the shopping areas of Dublin. Their prices were really good compared to other donut shops not only in Ireland but in the US and they had SO MANY FLAVORS. It was honestly very difficult to decide. My husband, being the plain Jane he is, got a glazed, and I opted for the Apple. It was very good and when they fill those donuts, they are very much filled. Great flavor, soft, and ultimately delicious.

    I'm not a huge donut offender, but man, when there is one that's worth having, you freaking know it. And the Rolling Donut was that place. We got there before 9am and they were so so fresh! My salted caramel one was so freaking good. They even have a coffee and donut combo. Love! Perfect treat to start our day before touring Dublin.

    Creative flavors!

    The Rolling Donut - Lemon Poppyseed and Vanilla Glaze Pistachio

    Only a few blocks away from my hotel stood this gem of a donut shop. With a variety of donut…read moreflavors freshly and temptingly displayed in the window, I absolutely HAD TO stop by to see if they tasted as good as they looked. And... the verdict is in, DROOL!!! I knew immediately I wanted to try the Lemon Poppyseed and I also tried the Vanilla Glaze Pistachio flavor. Both were phenomenal!!! Each bite tasted like a piece of home. Honestly, The Rolling Donut reminds me of Dough in NYC and Brooklyn, my favorite donut spot. Sadly, I did not have an opportunity to go back and try the red velvet donut (with cheesecake filling). But whenever I go to Dublin again, this place will likely be my second stop! 5 stars well deserved.

    I dropped by the Rolling Donut on my last day in Dublin. One of my new friends from the tour group…read moreI joined had mentioned that the Rolling Donut made some really big and tasty donuts, so I simply couldn't resist getting one, and I also wanted to grab one to snack on during my early morning flight back to California. The store is very small and cute, with a majority of the space taken up by the long glass display, which houses their large selection of beautifully decorated donuts. After browsing over the different flavors, the attentive donutarian bagged my order of a single Lemon Poppyseed donut. While on layover in Frankfurt, I finally decided to roll into the lemon poppyseed donutiness... The donut was OK, it had a bready texture, which made sense, because it was a sourdough donut. The glaze on top of the donut was really thick, and it wasn't overly sweet to my taste buds. The glaze also had a light lemon flavor that provided some tartness, and just a few poppy seeds on top. As my friend had mentioned, their donuts are kind of big and filling for one person to eat alone, so I would definitely recommend sharing the love! (and calories)

It's a small shop, like very small shop so seating is more than extremely limited. That was OK since I knew we would be walking away eating. It's also fun to watch them making donuts right behind the glass in the store. Since there are not to many people inside at any one time and two people behind the counter they are very attentive. I also had a specialty coffee which they make on the spot. There is a great selection of fresh and delicious speciality doughnuts and a "Donut of the day" but we were too late for that. We left and continued our walk only to stop for a minute and use a pail as our table. These donuts are good.... I mean really good. Our need for sweet was satisfied and later I was disappointed that I did not bring back a few more to take on the ship with me. They had so many flavors and styles. Stop in if you're in the area.

    You know that saying, "You get what you pay for?" Insert me pointing at this place here. This was…read moreour third and final Donut Dawdle stop, and wouldn't you know it was a fail? We passed by the Boomerang Donuts display on our walk up and back down Grafton Street, before our breakfast stop. We had agreed to get our final three donuts here, based on the pretty-looking donuts and the interesting-sounding flavors. The three donuts from Boomerang were the cheapest of the three stops. That should have tipped us off to something, but at this point, we were still oblivious. I went with the Bueno Kinder, my husband got the Boston Creme, and we decided to share the Salted Caramel. Box in hand, we crossed the street into St. Stephen's Green, hunkering down at a bench near one of the bodies of water. The donuts weren't worth the money we paid for them. They weren't even donuts, in the technical sense. The dough was way more dense than any respectable donut should ever be - all three had the consistency of an overly dry cake. The Bueno Kinder had no flavor to speak of, and I found myself separating the "icing" from the dough, creating a pile that would eventually find its way into the hungry gullets of the birds brazenly walking towards us as we tried to eat the donuts we'd just paid for. My husband's Boston Creme had a pathetic squirt of some kind of filling in the middle - he said it didn't taste anything like a true Boston cream, and he had to work through more than half the donut to even find the filling. By the time I got done deconstructing my first donut, I had no desire to even try with the Salted Caramel. My husband, ever the trooper, took a bite then promptly tapped. I took what I could from the base of that donut, adding it to my growing pile of dry crumbs to dole out to the birds, before standing up and risking my eyes to fling the crumbs at the mass of birds. (Note - I don't typically feed the wildlife, and honestly wouldn't have if my husband hadn't suggested it. I think it was a joke when he first mentioned it, but it blossomed into a real "let's do this" thing by the time we admitted the donuts were not meant to be eaten by humans.) I'd avoid Boomerang Donuts like I'd avoid gas station sushi. Just don't do it.

    When we were at St. Stephens Green we saw a bunch of people walking around with pink donut boxes…read moreand were curious where they got them. Later in the day we walked by this place and the mystery was solved! The donuts in the window looked so unique and delicious that we had too try them. It was hard to pick what we wanted because everything looked so good. We ended up getting the strawberries and cream, banofee, and apples and cinnamon. The strawberries and cream was not very good. The topping fell off when you ate it and it tasted like cough syrup. The apples and cinnamon and banofee were both good. They were very big yeast donuts that had filling, but not very much filling. They definitely needed more because only a couple of bites had filling. I liked them and would get them again!
