The Dough Nut | Midtown

I was reluctant at first to try something gluten-free made where from scratch baked goods are also made. The staff that I talked to stated that they were unaware of anyone in the five years they worked there reporting getting sick from their gluten-free doughnuts. The doughnuts are baked and kept separate from everything else. Neither my spouse or myself got glutenized. I myself stopped eating at pizza restaurants after continously getting sick from cross-contamination. I am not exactly sure how they avoid cross-contamination, but we were able to enjoy fresh made doughnuts!

Awesome that I was able to eat a donut! By the time I got there, the only option was chocolate with maple glaze and it was delicious! They do store the gf donuts separately, which is appreciated.

We were excited to try the gf donuts. This was the first time my kids ever had a donut. They are so good! Donuts are stored separately. We did not get sick. Definitely worth a stop!

The gf donuts here are more like cake donuts. Not fluffy and airy, but cakey. They were good, but not quite what I was hoping for. Make sure you call ahead and have them hold some for you. I was glad I did - by the time I went (like 10am) the gf donuts were all sold out. And be aware there are 2 locations and they have the same phone number, so confirm where your donuts are!

Gluten free doughnuts tasted great! Of course not quite the same as regular, but that’s to be expected. They are baked, not fried, and are cooked separately from the regular doughnuts. They were kept separate and the employee used dedicated tongs. They have eggs so not vegan.

Gluten free doughnuts were kept separately. They had a few flavors of baked cake doughnuts to choose from. We bought several and enjoyed them all.

Donut was delicious. Seriously the best GF donut I’ve had. I think the risk of cross contamination is pretty high but I’m not super sensitive.

No reaction to the chocolate cake donut with chocolate and maple drizzle, tasted amazing with coffee from the shop next door. The donuts were kept on a tray on a separate rack on the top but still next to the other rack with gluten donuts and prepared in same kitchen. They said GF donuts are baked and have own area to prep. Staff was knowledgeable, we took the risk and it paid off! Delish!

The doughnut wasn’t as good as wheat doughnuts, but I still tasted really good. They have a separate case for gluten free doughnuts and they don’t fry their gluten free doughnuts, so it’s completely safe to eat here if you have celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free donuts! They're baked, not fried, so fryer contamination is eliminated. Staff is celiac knowledgeable as keeps GF donuts completely separate with their own tongs and bags. Donuts are good. Cake style, several flavors. They're light and fluffy, too - not rocks. Wish they had yeast donuts, but that's wishful thinking.
