Donutelier - Review - Covent Garden - London - The Infatuation

"We’ve loved doughnuts ever since we had our first raspberry-filled, sugar-covered bite from Greggs on the bus home from school. Something we’ve learned since then, is that often the more extravagant the piping work and the more Willy Wonka-esque the name, the more disappointing. Donutelier, a doughnut shop and cafe in Covent Garden, makes some beauty pageant-winning doughnuts that are style over substance. You’ll be tempted by a Shrek-green pistachio doughnut only to cringe at how sweet it is. Flavours like vanilla cookie cream sounds and looks like an Oreo-lover’s dream, but require a jug of water to wash down the coating of sugar you’ll have on your tongue afterwards. Starting at £5.50 a doughnut, you’ll probably wish you went to Greggs. If only Greggs had the same pastel pink interiors and tables to perch on." - Rianne Shlebak

I’ve never had donuts like these before 🤩 absolutely incredible 👍🏼👍🏼 Each bite was bursting with flavor, so fresh, rich, and unbelievably delicious. Every single kind is a must-try. The coffee was just as amazing, perfectly brewed and a great match to the sweet treats. On top of that, the service was outstanding ♥️super friendly and helpful. This place is truly a gem ♥️

The ordering system is really simple and works well. They have a wide variety of pastries, which taste great. At the time we visited the store, all the tables were full of trash…we had to remove the trash from our table to another, to get space to eat. Other than that a really tasty and nice experience!

Pretty good spot! It’s a lovely little café with a cozy vibe and a seriously tempting selection of doughnuts and pastries. I tried their most-loved pistachio doughnut—absolutely amazing, super soft and full of flavor. Also had the strawberry croissant with a cappuccino, and it was the perfect combo. Great place if you’re into sweet treats and chill café vibes. Definitely worth a visit! 🍩☕🥐

The donuts were surprisingly light and not too sweet. I’m not a big fan of a dense overly sweet donut so these were perfect! Good selection of donuts to choose from… I couldn’t believe they had the St Honore version (it was very pretty and tasty - highly recommended 😋). Friendly service and nice little seating area inside too (there is a bench outside too for when the weather is nice).

It’s a donut shop that also sells drinks. The hot chocolate is super delicious! The donuts are beautifully displayed in the shop, and there are so many to choose from, it was hard to decide. I ended up asking the staff for recommendations, and they suggested two options. I can’t remember the names, but both were really good. Personally, I liked the raspberry one more because the tangy flavor balanced out the sweetness. Highly recommended!

Donutelier is gorgeous little donut spot just outside Leicester Square. Definitely on the higher end in terms of price for a donut but I’d argue it’s worth it. What I really appreciate is that each donut tastes as if careful thought had been placed into each component. It’s quite easy to add many sweet and indulgent toppings onto a donut as many other places do, but the donuts here have a great balance of sweet, sour, and tartness with both creamy fillings and crispy or crunchy exteriors. I’ve had three of their donuts thus far - pistachio, pink Royale, vanilla raspberry - and all three were great. The vanilla raspberry in particular had a very delicious and harmonious balance of texture and flavour. I will definitely be returning to try more of their different flavours!

This was honestly the first time a "Viral" food place has lived up to the hype for us. We never expect the food to be as good as the "influencers" make it out to be. This was an outlier in that regard as both of the pastries we tried were delectable. There was a Raspberry Tart and a Strawberry and Cream Croissant - both were baked perfectly. Tangible layers of flaky pastry matched with delicious fillings. We honestly couldn't get enough. Service was outstanding given how busy the place was. A little pricey, but since you're in the dead centre of London and due to the extremely high demand, it can be forgiven.
