The donuts are great but not safe for Celiac. They use the same trays, glaze, and racks as all the other donuts (even says so on their website).

So if your gluten sensitive, you're probably fine; however, if you have Celiac stay away.

They said they are made in a separate fryer, he changed his gloves and put them in a separate bag, but I forgot to ask if they are made separately from the other donuts. Also didn’t ask if they used separate frosting. I had the chocolate one which was good, the cinnamon was good also. I did get sick, but I don’t know if it was from the donut or something else.

Ordered all 3 types of GFdonuts. Chocolate, birthday cake and cinnamon sugar. I thought the cinnamon sugar was the best, but my son liked the other two. The two frosted ones are so dense and heavy, probably due to the icing. I just dropped it on the table and there was a big thud.

Anyhow, the person did change her gloves and asked if we wanted them in a separate bag. To me this is common sense, but at least she asked.

I used to order GF donuts all the time. But then I got really sick one day and no longer visit. Can't trust the cross-contact in the kitchen. Batter is GF, kept in a separate case. They'll use new gloves to grab a donut. Eat at your own risk. They are heavenly, though!!

I love their donuts! Especially the cinnamon and the vanilla with chocolate icing. I've been eating here for a while and I've never had a problem. I just wish they had a gf chicken sandwich.

Went and had the best gf donut of my life! Unfortunately got sick later that night. Tbh, almost no regrets these were so delicious, though. Almost.

I used to work for Do Rite and their gluten free donuts are NOT gluten free. Yes, the batter itself is gluten free and they fry them in a separate fryer but after being fried they encounter rampant cross-contamination. They are glazed, iced, and decorated in the same exact materials as the regular donuts. This is standard procedure at all locations. As we made donuts throughout the night the glazer would become filled with small pieces and big chunks of our regular donuts, so it was very common to glaze the gluten free donuts in glaze that was absolutely filled with pieces of glutenous donuts. They also dipped them in the same icing as the glutenous donuts and in the same toppings as the glutenous donuts. So although they start out gluten-free, they are absolutely not gluten-free by the time you purchase them.

They make their GF donuts separate!

Only three GF donuts by all are delicious!

The GF go quickly but they make many batches throughout the day. I went at 6 pm and they still had many of the chocolate and cinnamon sugar.

Amazing GF sprinkled donut. My husband also said his maple bacon glazed donut (not GF) was great. A little pricey at $3 a piece but so worth it.

Do-Rite acknowledges that they are not a dedicated gluten-free facility and warns as such, but they say that they prepare their gluten-free donut dough at a separate time from the regular, they use a dedicated gluten-free fryer, and the donuts are kept in a separate case from the other donuts. So far so good on how I feel; I will edit this review if anything changes. It appears that this new location is as trustworthy as the others though.
