Crosstown doughnuts - Edit
Service felt rushed, and the drinks could be better. The doughnut tasted fine and looked creative but is too pricey for its size. There are definitely better doughnuts out there. The shop itself is rather small.

Excellent - Edit
These were BY FAR the BEST donuts I’ve ever had. The sourdough base makes for an incredible texture and the flavour combo’s are impeccable. My sister went for the cinnamon swirl donut and I picked the strawberry matcha one with rhubarb. The two friendly employees were nice to chat with (it wasn’t busy) and apparently all matcha drinks are only a pound on Mondays. We got a matcha latte and matcha lemonade. Both were delicious. Don’t skip this one!
Read morePros: Best donuts I’ve ever had, Friendly staff, Great matcha drinks.

Good Donuts but very pricey - Edit
The donuts were ok, but also nothing really special, and the prices were a little high.

Great doughnuts but poor drinks and service - Edit
I love these doughnuts but the last time we visited the staff member was so rude and unfriendly and we had a bad hot drink which is a real shame

Super donuts! - Edit
The donuts were amazing, really really good, I just thought they were a bit expensive.
Read moreThe six donuts box is 6 donuts for the price of 5, £26,45, so just under £4.5 per donut. That's over €5 per donut! But they were really good.

Best Doughnuts! - Edit
yThe doughnuts were the best ones I've ever had in my life - especially the pb one with blackcurrant jam was bomb! They were not too sweet but had a great taste and also their coffee was delicious. Staff was friendly but the atmosphere felt a bit unfinished and rough. There was cardboard and rubbish laying around and it made it hard to take a seat. We needed to remove some cardboard and a broom beforehand. Staff was a bit slow.

Wish is visited sooner! - Edit
Crosstown Doughnuts is one of those places I've walked past but never bothered going in. Today I had a doughnut craving and knew where to go.
Read moreThe biggest disappointment is the fact I never bothered visiting before because the doughnuts where amazing! I can't wait to go back!

Always stop here. - Edit
Every time we come to London we stop here after the drive down.
Read moreNever disappointed in the doughnuts or coffee.
Typical London prices but they are really good doughnuts.
They have 4 or 5 staple offerings available every time and then 2 or 3 that are seasonal.
Pros: Fully vegan, Friendly staff, Good flavours
Cons: London prices.

Delicious vegan doughnuts! - Edit
We really enjoyed the Tonga Vanilla and Sri Lankan Cinnamon Sugar. Pair with a coffee or tea for a great snack! Be aware: very limited seating.

So nice, so astonishingly expensive - Edit
The doughnuts were beautiful, in appearance and in taste. We both chose a tequila, lime and yuzu doughnut to eat in the shop, it was tangy and tasty, and the actual doughy bit of the doughnut was notably light and flavoursome. I had their chai latte to drink - it’s made from a fermented spice mixture, and I’d thoroughly recommend it. We took home an apricot chai spice custard doughnut, which was fine, and a strawberry guava custard doughnut, which was amazing. The only drawback was the price - about £5 for a doughnut. I really enjoyed what we ate, but we won’t come back because of the cost, it’ll stay as a one-off treat.
Read morePros: Range of interesting flavours, Delicious , Fully vegan
Cons: Cost, Wasteful plastic lids put on paper cups to eat in.

Super expensive, but also super tasty! - Edit
I had to think twice before buying a doughnut there because of the ridiculous prices, but the taste was honestly a solid 12/10 so I didn’t feel too bad after!
Read morePros: Soft, fresh, amazing taste
Cons: The price….

Migliori donut del mondo - Edit
Varrebbe la pena venire a Londra solo per assaggiare queste incredibili ciambelle. E il fatto che sia tutto 100% vegano rende tutto ancora più fantastico

4.5/5 Yummy Doughnuts 🍩 - Edit
This was my first time visiting the vegan location, and really enjoyed my visit. We got the Cinnamon Scroll which is an absolute must!! We also had a couple of the Halloween bites which were nice, but I would recommend going for one of the full sized doughnuts. We also had some hot drinks, I had the Jaffa hot chocolate which was delicious and liked that it was a bit different to a regular hot chocolate!
Read moreIt is a very small shop so prepare to stand outside or take your treats away with you, although there is limited seating outside too which we did manage to get.
We also bought a Chestnut and Brown Butter doughnut to take away (which were also delicious!!) seeing as we loved the cinnamon scroll so much, and the server ended up offering us 2 of them for less because they came out smaller than intended, which was a lovely gesture and all round great customer service.
P.S. Coffee cups are compostable, and everything is recyclable or compostable apart from the baking paper ☺️

Best doughnuts - Edit
Although clearly decadent, they didn’t feel overwhelmingly sugary (much better than Doughnut time) and could taste individual flavours inside the doughnut. The spiced pear one is amazing!

Love it!! - Edit
I’ve eaten Crosstown before but it was really cool to go to a fully vegan location!
Read moreIt’s very small with seating for only 2 people inside and 4 more outside so I wouldn’t go expecting to be able to sit in, but fortunately we were able to get one of the tables outside.
Me and my partner shared a Cinnamon Scroll doughnut and also had a Halloween Dough Bite each, as well as an earl grey tea and a Jaffa hot chocolate. The Cinnamon Scroll was excellent, absolutely delicious!! The dough bites were also good, but not as good as the Cinnamon Scroll. I enjoyed my tea and my partner’s Jaffa hot chocolate was also really tasty and unusual!
We really enjoyed our visit, so much so we bought a Chestnut and Brown Butter doughnut to take away. We actually ended up leaving with 2 as the server offered me 2 of them for £6 instead of one for £4.75 as they’d come out a bit smaller than intended, which I appreciated. The Chestnut and Brown Butter doughnuts were also really tasty, with lovely spiced dough.
Crosstown doughnuts aren’t cheap (£4.75 for a doughnut!!) but they are really tasty!
I was also impressed that the coffee cups were compostable, and the server told me that apart from the baking paper everything is recyclable or compostable, which I think is really cool.

Different flavours - Edit
We came here for an afternoon tea. I chose the nectarine and cherry donut. The filling was nectarine which was delicious and mixed really well with the cherry glaze. My partner had a peanut butter and blackberry compote which he really liked.
