I received this as a surprise birthday present/cake. And it was a surprise. Filled with cream inside, the donut is soft and moist. You could easily eat a lot of this in one sitting!

Great donut texture. I admire the owner and the brand, so hard working and fun branding. Unfortunately I didnt find they had much flavour, like a whisper of cinnamon or a whisper of strawberry. They were alright but wouldnt go back. Presentation is stunning though.

I love these donuts. Theyre large which is great for sharing. The base is delicious and there are an array of choices in toppings.I highly recommend the Pandan Coconut Glaze.

These are the best donuts Ive had. Theyre obviously a bit on the pricier side but SO WORTH IT cos theyre really big. The pandan coconut and the limited edition hot dog and banana fritter donuts WERE AMAZING! Im glad this place is far away from me cos otherwise Id be here every weekend. Well worth it!

Amazing donuts. My husband grabbed some on the way out of Sydney and we enjoyed them up at our place on the Central Coast. Will definitely stop in to try more flavours when we visit next.

Most fluffiest donuts Ive ever had and the flavours are so prominent. I tried the pandan and apple biscoff and both of them are so tasty 🤤 cant wait to try other flavours!Check out @asydneysider for more food related reviews ☺

Amazing Vegan donuts and Gluten Free and normal all absolutely delicious 😋

The donuts lack flavour and depth. It was simply sweet, packed with sugar which overpowered any other flavour it could have had. Could not taste the ube nor Oreo. The biscoff had a thick layer of icing and the donut was very doughy. It lacked both good execution and goof flavour. Overpriced and overhyped. Would not recommend. There is also a 12% surcharge on Sundays, bringing the price of one donut to the hefty price of $7.50.

A small hole in the wall Donut shop. Really unique flavours and not your usual selections. The Ube and Dolce de Leche were my top picks from the donuts we bought. Good to come in early as they have limited numbers for specific flavours.

Long queue (we were there just before midday) but it wasnt too bad, as a staff member came down the queue to each person with the check in QR code on a board so we could check in while waiting and then order as soon as we reached the window. This prevented unnecessary delays. Gorgeous donuts, with low gluten and vegan options. We had the dulce de leche & a version based on creme brulee - they were delicious and generously sized. My husband had a low gluten donut cake and he raved about it. Highly recommend, but maybe order ahead if you can or go early to beat the queue.

There was a long wait in the queue on a cold day, but it was worth it. The donuts are huge and pretty tasty. I chose the matcha donut, the icing was the right amount of sweet but the matcha flavour wasnt very strong... Will have to try other flavours, they seem to make them fresh and put out different flavours all the time.

Went to grab a box of their delicious donuts on a sunny Saturday arvo - the waiting time was fine. Great to have plenty of free parking options close by.

Review №15

Nice idea but poor execution. Got a box of mixed flavours and a few plain. The plain donuts were uncooked and tasted raw, you could tear off a chunk and roll it back into dough! Matcha was authentic flavoured, and Nutella was as expected, both a little too much filling to donut ratio for my taste. Hope they can improve but hard to justify $6 a donut compared to a freshly cooked cinnamon donut for a 1/4 of the price from your local.

Review №17

Firstly, excuse me for my photo below because I carried it around roughly 5 hrs 🥲 and one piece missing cus I was so hungry.- Staffs are efficient. One served me is so patient, waiting for me to pick flavors.- I like how they offer a variety of flavors for vegan donuts which is similar with flavors of other (normal) donuts. Its not heavily creamy and the dough is just as same as others.- Vegan donuts usually are packed separately but if you dont mind to put in one box, they still separate for you.- Normal donuts taste great in general. I have tried some filled donuts but personally, the custard one is sweeter than other filled ones so far.- One thing about their donuts is they are huge! I feel like I ate 2 donuts in an actual one!- The shop is about 10-15 mins walk from either Redfern station or Central station.- Price is as similar as other fancy donuts but definitely higher than market versions.* From left to right in the photo:(top) vegan matcha crunch, ube oreo, pandan coconut(bottom) biscoff, blueberry bear claw, custard filled.

Amazing doughnuts — American style. Probably the best ones I’ve found in Sydney. Also often have great unique flavours, but also all the typical classics! Highly recommend.

Service was a little slow (one staff member serving one customer at a time) due to COVID19 shenanigans but totally worth the wait. Some of the best doughnuts Ive ever had, anywhere. Get here early and join the queue for best chance of getting the selection you want.

Amazingly thick and tasty donuts, parking can be difficult and there is usually a line up. Expensive however, expect to pay around 40-50 for a box of 6. I nearly fell over when I saw the souvenir mug was 40 when it was 10 at the Easter Show!

Love this cute little donut shop!The bread is so soft and fluffy, and the glaze on this donut taste just like fresh tapped maple syrup 🤤.. So good. Also maple bacon is life, definitely always coming back!Well priced, and give a discount for the more donuts you buy.

Whoever is running their instagram page needs a lesson in customer service. I dont usually do reviews, but it doesnt cost anything to be nice. You have to understand you cant get away with being rude anymore with social media so prevalent. They need to take responsbility for their actions. its left a bad experience and will not be buying donuts from this place. Simply asked a question and was met with abrupt rudeness.

Very large donuts with a variety of flavors as well as seasonal specials.

Review №36

Tried their (vegan) biscoff glaze donut. It was way too soft and too expensive for the price tag. I did asked for the donut to be heated up, the dough felt too limpy compared to other donut places (which i do ask to be warmed as well) in the end. My advice would be to not heat up the donut. The pricetag itself will, sadly, stop me from returning ):

Review №37

Simply the best vegan donuts in Sydney. Never disappointed when I visit. Pricing is fair considering these are hand made donuts not mass produced. Love supporting a small local business. Staff are always very friendly.

The best place to get donuts in the city. Losts of flavours to choose and very delicious. They also do coffee. Make sure you also get the Halo Halo on summer time. The thing is the real deal!!!

Review №40

Underwhelming to say the least. I was quite keen to try donut papi based on reviews and their instagram but it ended up being quite disappointing. The snickers and beuno donuts were just not enjoyable and the OG donut and biscoff donuts were ok. The caramel one was average too.At $35 for 5 donuts it’s way overpriced too. Simply not worth it. Luckily we went on a Friday because on Sunday’s they also have a 12% surcharge!

Review №41

Small easy to miss donut shop with really good donuts and just as importantly, really good coffee. I walked out with an original glaze donut (I always try the basics first) and it was light, fluffy and most surprisingly, not as sweet as I was expecting and complimenting this was a very smooth and balanced latte, strong but not bitter. Found it perfect as I shy away from donuts in the first place as they taste overly sugary. The taro and Pandan custard donuts look like their speciality and I will definitely come back for them!

I had been looking forward to getting these donuts for while, but my experience with this business was appalling. One of the worst customer experiences that I have come across within the hospitality industry.Put through the order 1 week prior to pick up, received an email confirmation with a link to confirm pick up time and date. The night before I clicked and it redirected me to their website that was under construction. I could not remember the pick up time so I emailed them the morning of and did not hear back, no other contact details were provided on the order confirmation so I went to the store at 11:15 am, the owner came out and said pick up was at 12pm, rolled his eyes and pointed at a sign on the window. I was left confused as he walked away and refused to speak with me, I then sent an Instagram message explaining the situation and was told that the order was now ready, the staff did not acknowledge their fault in not communicating the bare minimum and did not apologize for their horrible customer service.I came back later that day and picked up my order, to be greeted by a young man that was also rude, not surprised. Look the donuts were awesome, texture and flavor lived up to what Ive herd about them but this experience was so bad that I will not continue to support a business that does not care about customer service. Reading the other reviews, its evident that this type of service if you can even call it that is common.

Medium quality donuts with extremely poor customer service skills. A simple query turned into a scuffle of words. Would never buy again.

Great little donut shop with lots of tasty options and really good Allpress coffee made with a pretty pink coffee machine. Eat in or takeaway, good amount of seating inside and out. Also some “exotic” dessert options. Very pleasant staff and fun decor make it worth a visit, enjoyed a pink milkshake donut that did the trick, will be back to try the other varieties soon!

Review №47

Very pretty and tasty donuts. The flavors change often and are all better than the others. It depends on how you like donuts but I like them big and fluffy and it’s exactly the way Donut Papi bake them. 👌😋🍩 i wish they were open later so I could go during weekdays after work 😢

Review №51

These doughnuts are phenomenal. Up there with the best in Sydney. However, they are a bit pricey so be prepared for that when you walk in the door. I had the strawberry milkshake which tasted like what a Simpsons doughnut should taste like, the biscoff which was also unreal, the carwmilk which was insanely rich but very good, and the original glazed. Definitely will be coming back to try more.

Donut papi is a great place, you can really see the passion they have in creating this unique flavours. The shop is quite small but the variety is la he and there is plenty to choose from.

DONUT WALK, RUN!!!! These donuts will BLOW YOUR MIND. Truth be told, Ive never been passionate about donuts. That all changed once I tasted the Papi. HOT DAMN. My boo and I LEGIT go there every Saturday because we cant go one week without. Thank you, Donut Papi, for existing and bringing such buttery soft, delicious and fluffy doughy delights into these pandemic-ridden world.

Good selection of donuts, ube one the best! Finding the place and getting parking was a bit of a pain and hassle... We were just lucky to get a spot right outside!Best to try get vouchers from Groupon and the likeUpdate:Tasted a few new donut places that have started popping up and Donut Papi is still one of the better ones. They are a twice as expensive as the others but I think twice as nice too!New favourite we tried today was the glazed biscoff!

My favourite donut shop in this entire world (haven’t traveled that much tho lmao), so I guess it’s safe to say it’s the best in Sydney as I’ve tried most of them. Very sweet however it’s good sweet. Service is always so good with sincere smiles and they’re super creative with flavours too.

Review №73

Mixed feelings about this place, not sure if Id eat here again to be honest. Was really keen for the ube, pandan and lecheflan flavoured donuts and frappuccinos.Firstly, the ube donut and the frappuccino was really disappointing. I dont think theres much ube flavour in them at all - which was such a let down because the purple colour was so rich I was really expecting to be in flavour country! The donut is sweet, dont get me wrong but definitely not ube flavoured. The frappuccino I received as well was basically a glass of cold purple milk. Just plain milk flavour...Pandan donut was an improvement, but still thought the flavour was a bit too subtle.Lecheflan donut was also ok, its a normal sweet donut but nothing that makes it taste especially like a lecheflan flavoured donut. I think the only thing that makes it lecheflan is the small square of lecheflan on the top of the donut lol..On the plus side, I think the pricing is fair and the size of the donuts is generous! I liked the thickness of the dough but I did have some friends complain its too heavy (each to their own).The only donut that really caught my attention was the tiramisu - that had such a lovely infusion of coffee flavour!!But the Filipino flavours (ESPECIALLY the ube) really need more work :(

Really nice doughnuts, would have liked a few more filled rather than 90% of them being ring. Soft & really easy to eat, however a few were a bit bland & lacked sweetness (Matcha, Biscoff). And quite expensive.

Tried Donut Papi for the first time today and it definitely lived up to its expectation. Arrived shortly after midday on a Sunday and there was already a queue. Didn’t have to wait too long and choosing flavours was so straightforward. Tried the halo halo ube cheesecake plus the cinnamon scroll, cinnamon with sugar, ube brûlée and strawberry milkshake flavour donuts. They were amazing. By far the best donuts I’ve ever eaten. Can’t hardly wait to go back for more.

The donuts here are the best in Sydney. The best taste, texture, and quality. Theres donuts out there that will look better in a picture, or have more amazing toppings, but the donut under those toppings is always disappointing. Donut Papi makes THE BEST donuts in Sydney. Fantastic, different options for fillings. Loved the Pandan. Perfect for Hanukkah.

Best doughies in Sydney! I love the fluffy texture of the dough and their use of super interesting flavours. Favourites are always their specials which use fresh cream (BRING BACK THE GOOD PIE!!!!) and I would fist fight someone for the last vegan cherry bearclaw.Not all that Ive tried are to my palate (sorry not sorry, ensaymada), but always happy to have given them a go.

Review №97

Used to like the Ube-filled and Pandan-filled doughnuts. They don’t serve it anymore cus they update their menu on a monthly basis, but those two flavours were staples. They serve the less appetising version of the two said flavours. I ordered many times from them when they started, however, the last dozen I have ordered was just underwhelming. I am not alone on this observation though cus I have a friend who I’ve influenced to buy from them before and they also noticed that the flavours are not just as good as before. They were so good when they started, hopefully there’s a consistency.

Don’t need to say much. Just yum! Not the cheapest doughnuts but you get what you pay for. So delicious and so many interesting flavours. I love the pandan the best. Definitely recommend when you are in need of a cheat day. Not a massive store but easy to find and offers drinks and savoury food as well.
