Doughnut Time

My friends and I got these from the surfers paradise location. The doughnuts really were phenomenal. I ended up having the blueberry glazed donut. It was soft & chewy and had a great balance of nuts inside.

This place is a clear example of human sheep behaviour. It seems «hip» or something to be seen outside this place more then anything.
I was one of those people who seen all the sheep and thought they must have been on to something… (yes im a sheep too haha) sadley after i shelled out $ 36 i was clearly mistaken.
The product is great for taking pictures with and posting on facebook or instagram, visually the doughnuts look awesome but thats about it.
Very average tasting for $ 6ea. 2 stars for show only.
Added: yep still uncreative and overpriced, refer to picture! nutella filled donut that is sickning to eat :(

I ordered the caramel and the ferero noshare donut. I had fairly high expectations after paying $ 12 for 2 donuts but was really disappointed. The actual consistency of the donut was more like a bread roll and not a donut. I felt I would have got a better experience in buying a packet of cinnamon donuts at coles. Presentation is great which is what is appealing to begin with but taste is lacking allot.

I swear to Kayne these are the best doughnuts I have ever had! I really wish I hadn’t visited this little hole in the wall doughnut shop as I am pretty sure I have just ruined my diet!

They look sooo pretty! Kinda like a hot chick but with nothing going on inside.
Taste wise. I’d go to Krispy crème instead! Plain and boring and $$$

If I was rating Doughnut Time solely on the taste of the doughnuts I’d be giving a ⁴⁄₅. ‘Mint to Be’ is a delicious blend of mint chocolately goodness & I could easily eat one of these everyday for the rest of my life.
This is a literal hole-​in-​the-​wall location, suited to takeaway. Please note that there is no seating (something I didn’t realise before visiting!) so you will need to take your doughy deliciousness elsewhere to be devoured.
The girl serving seemed utterly unimpressed to be alive & serving doughnuts on a Sunday.
Would I go back? I wouldn’t be rushing. Doughtnuts are becoming a ‘thing’ & I’d probably be inclined to check out one of the other stores in Brisbane before heading back to Doughnut Time.

This place is not even worth the money, the donuts are bad quality and just taste like bread. The service is rude and slow.
I would of given it zero stars if it could.

I love food so therefore I love doughnuts I’ve tried lots of flavours from here but my favourite is the pistachio it is like an absolute ¹⁰⁄₁₀!

Doughnuts can be a religion. Like the mandalas of the buddhists, the ouroboros of the Greeks, the sun symbols of the egyptians and even the circle of life from The Lion King — these circular delights are a symbol of eternal deliciousness. Eternal bliss, happiness and a delectable religious experience can all be attained by partaking in a doughnut or seven from Doughnut Time.
That being said, it’s very difficult to create a bad doughnut. It’s dough, pastry, sugar and exploding flavours — gastronomic satisfaction is inevitable. On top of that, different people have different preferences.
If you’re after a plain doughnut, move along. If you prefer your doughnuts more fluffy and less doughy, again I say move on. But if you love over the top decoration, a thick doughy base and portions you bought that gym membership for come see these symbols of tastiness yourself. The church of deliciousness is open to all.

After seeing the hype over Doughnut Time on Facebook and Instagram, I decided to give it a try. If you are driving here, note that it is best to find a car park somewhere along the way and walk the rest, because there is only (very limited) street parking available.
This really is a hole-​in-​the-​wall type of place. I am not a fan of the area, and there really isn’t much else around.
The very first time I drove past this place, there was a long line of people which extended along the length of the entire pathway for a good 6 meters. So I thought it must really be good.
I have to say, I wasn’t too impressed. I purchased 3 donuts (although was also given 2 leftover doughnuts from the previous day for free). My first pick was the «Veruca Salt» — a salted caramel donut with a creamy caramel filling. It was pretty tasty. The other ones, however, I found to be rather dry and not as special as they are made out to be.
Sure, they are creatively decorated with interesting combinations, but they just tasted like ordinary donuts to me. Not to mention, they were SO incredibly sweet. My boyfriend came with me hoping he might be able to purchase a simple cinnamon sugar or jam donut, but was disappointed that they were all covered in too much icing and were unbearably sweet… and expensive! $ 6 per donut… that is $ 36 for a 6 pack.
So, in conclusion — kudos to Doughnut Time for making such creative, funky looking donuts, but they aren’t really for me.

I enjoyed eating the doughnuts I bought from Doughnut Time but didn’t think they were anything special to write home about or worth all the hype that seem to surround them. I do love the store concept — a hole in the wall but my gosh is it ever pricey to visit at $ 6 per doughnut and there was no discount for buying in bulk i.e. a six pack. I loved the packaging for the doughnuts but the doughnuts themselves were very dry. The flavours were good but I wish the doughnuts were fresher.

I had gushed over doughnut time’s Instagram for far too long before I finally decided to give in and get myself some, as I put it, «designer doughnuts». Cute location, the mint green pops out of the brick covered wall. I didn’t have a line when I arrived at noon on Monday, so I ordered quickly. There was NO place to sit and eat my doughnuts or even put my wallet away and put the box nearby, so I had to walk two blocks before I found a café where I could do that. I bought four doughnuts: the Walter white, peanut butter cup, Tim tam, and classic Simpsons doughnut. Totally 24AUD. WHAT? 6 DOLLARS PER DOUGHNUT? Now, I had to love every single doughnut to not feel like I got totally jipped. Sadly that was not the case. I’m a sucker for Reese’s peanut butter cups so of course that was my favorite doughnut and that was the one I ate the day of. The next three doughnuts I ate over the next 5 days because I can’t have more than one of these sugar loaded doughnuts a day. These doughnuts do not hold more than one day. They immediately became stale and the top icing melted off of each donuts making a gross mixture on the bottom that made the bottom parts of the donuts soggy. The flavors of the donuts just tasted like pure sugar, not like individual flavors. I still love the looks of the doughnuts and am interested in trying singular flavors, but do not think I will make it back in time to do so. Also, I would never order more than one doughnut because it will go stale and you will have wasted a 6 dollar doughnut.
Yes, I’m still upset over each doughnut being 6 dollars. Crazy pricing.

I had been waiting to go to doughnut time since it opened, I would constantly drool over the beautiful pictures of doughnuts they would post on social media.
There is a great list of creative and fun flavours to choose from which makes it tough. I have tried a total of 4 flavours my favourite being their salted caramel, I would have to say one of the best versions of salted caramel I have tasted. The only downside is the doughnuts are a bit more bread like than expected, I think they could benefit from being a little bit more light and fluffy.

Donuts! Who doesn’t love them?! This place is a cute little hole in the wall, and appears as though there’s a pub there by night. It’s down this quite road, when looking for it I was sure I was headed in the wrong direction, but long behold this busy little store appeared. I picked up two, ate one then had a headache– sugar overload. Highly recommended treat!

Another idea poached from America l, I just wish when people do these kinds of ventures they keep it as original as possible — including the price.
Mind blowing at first with the wide creative selection of doughnuts, I enjoyed just two enough to make you sick from all the sugar so I encourage you to enjoy in moderation.
Sunday prices were $ 5 – 6 depending on which one you bought.
Next day ALL doughnuts were $ 6 and the standard ones were $ 5 previous day. Not sure what’s happening with the price fixing/​adjusting

Well where to start.
I have a confession. a Doughnaughty confession. I may of been here a couple times. maybe SIX times. I was the very first in line on opening day, and I’m not embarrassed to admit that I stood in line from 7am just to secure that spot lol.
Why you ask SIX times?
Well. that’s how many it took to finally sample that Crème Brule Doughnut lol: P
Is this place awesome? Yes
Is it worth waiting in line for a long time? Yes
Will you get hooked? Yes
Now stop reading, and go eat ;)
Favorite Doughnut: Maple Bacon

Unique flavours on sub par donuts at $ 6 a pop. Krispy Kreme and even Doughnut king make a better tasting donut. These were dry and far too bready. Not worth the price or the line.

Yesterday, I waited in a 30 metre line for a doughnut. I guess there is a first time for everything! Doughnut Time in the Valley is a very cute little hole in the wall type store, reminding me very much of the Two Broke Girls cupcake store! Once i finally got to the front of the line, I had the extremely difficult decision of choosing a flavour. After waiting for so long I decided it was worth splurging for two. .. Nutella filled and salted caramel glazed. 2000 calories later my sweet tooth is totally satisfied. Was the doughnut texture itself the best I have ever had? No. But the
Fillings and glazes are super delish, and they are preservative free and freshly cooked! I am now planning my next flavour selection. .. And 5 km run!

To those who are gluten intolerant, have denounced sugar from their lives or just don’t get the craze around these circles of dough, look away now. As someone that falls into few of those categories I should have. But the lure of this freshly minted green hole in the wall on Alfred Street got the better of me as I swung by en-​route to an evening event.
For the remaining audience, welcome to Damien Griffith’s latest venture nestled neatly between Kwan Brothers and Alfredo’s. In true DG style, the opening of Doughnut Time was met with a long line around the corner and many items sold out in record time. A note on that: this is a hole in the wall operation. The doughnuts are cooked off-​site at sister venue, Chester Street Kitchen and delivered daily to the doughnut shack. For this reason, and certainly while the newbie spotlight is shone brightly upon it, there may be some flavours unavailable when you stop in.
To their credit these are doughnuts a few cuts above your pink iced dinosaur at Donut King and lend themselves to decadent flavours like the two I walked away with Raspberry & Cream (I’m a sucker for anything raspberry) & You’re Bacon Me Crazy (bacon & maple). For an extra dollar, you can opt for filled donuts ($ 6) like Nutella or Lemon Cheesecake. They’re freshly made (yes, siree it shows in their fluffy doughy way) and for a once-​off sugar-​laden treat, quite delicious.
For me though, as a glutard trying her best to limit the number of leave passes I give myself for the calorific goods of gluten and sugar, it’s a novel and on-​trend concept, that I’m sure will have the regular punters of Alfred & Constance Streets in giddy delight.
