Bristol Doughnut Company

After hearing such great reviews about this place I was certainly disappointed by my experience. I stopped in to get donuts for my family and was thrilled when I saw they had gluten free. I ordered the vanilla donut with prickly pear icing. You can only imagine my disappointment when I received my donut and it was not even fully iced. A few strips of icing to me is not what a donut is meant to be. The taste of the gluten free donut itself did not make up for the lack of icing. I’m sure the regular donuts are quite yummy, just not the place to go for a gluten free donut.

I ordered a chocolate gluten free donut. Separate tongs were used to serve. This was the second time I've attempted to eat a gluten free donut from there, the last time was 4 years ago. Both times I've experienced major symptoms associated with gluten contamination. My husband and son who are very mildly sensitive to gluten also experienced them. If you're even remotely sensitive to gluten, this place it not a good option, whether directly from them or a coffee shop they supple.

Best donut in Albuquerque I have found that is gluten, soy, & dairy free. Other doughnut places in Albuquerque with gluten free use soy oil. Some visits are easy & the staff knows everything. Other visits, the staff knows nothing and you can't get the right information and leave in frustration or don't drive there in the 1st place. They will bring out to your car, but they frequently do not answer their phone. So you can be sitting in the parking lot and can't get anyone to pick up.
