Rediscovered Doughnut Time again today after quite some absence. Today it was as if they had created a doughnut flavour perfect for me, that being the apple crumbly “Get Ready to Crumble”. This vegan friendly cinnamon apple filled doughnut had caramel glaze and was topped with a pecan crumb. An absolute highlight. There were several other familiar flavours from our last visit and reimagining. Prices down ever so slightly too.

How crazy are the prices at Doughnut Time...$6.70 for a single dose of deep fried deliciousness... and a queue to boot. Despite all this I get off the train at Flinders instead of Southern Cross where I needed to be, joined the queue and paid my money. I generally don't over complicate my doughnuts and the slim shady deliciously simple with vanilla icing and m&m's. The icing on all are so thick. Today however I was needing a chocolate hit so opted for the Mars Bar, Flake scattering in a sea of chocolate icing. Yum.
No doubt incredibly bad for you but I was going to the footy and would probably have had hot chips and paid the same price for those so in my mind I have argued that this was the healthy option!
The donuts are quite sweet, light and not too dense. The Hemsworth one was delicious. I liked how they had a good selection of Christmas donuts in December and they cater to vegans too. Overall, they're not the best donuts I've ever had but still great none the less.
Not a whole lot of range, but what they did have looked incredible. I tried the 'Liam Hemsworthy' which was really good, especially for a vegan doughnut. Usually vegan doughnuts are quite dense and heavy, but this one was really nice and fluffy. Generous serving, great taste.
Went in mid afternoon, selection was still sparse but plentiful. Great offerings, however was told that it would have been better fresher. extremely sweet.
Quick service and friendly staff! I got the Veruca Salt caramel doughnut. Loved the fluffiness of the doughnut and the salted caramel filling was not overwhelmingly sweet, which is a good sign. They also offer vegan options which is alwayd a plus!
😱Lizzie’s first impression: I’m so glad this place never left despite them closing a few other stores. It’s literally one of the best donuts I’ve had.
🍩Lizzie enjoyed: I love how many different options there are. They always have new flavours and I love the fluffiness and the consistency of the donuts. It’s not too sweet so that the topping overpowers the donut - it’s just a right amount! Love them so much. Tried the peanut butter one and the nutella one and it was both so delicious.
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: I know it can be a little too much in terms of sugar but it’s worth every bit of it.
🥇Lizzie rates overall: love coming back here as it’s so close by and easy access.
Couple days ago While I was in meblourne, I went to doughnut time after hearing some good review from friends and social media. All I can say it was so not dissapointing. I bought 4, but I sure do plan to get some more anytime soon.
😁😜🍩 Today I swung past @doughnut_time with the intention of buying a couple of the delicious flavours I saw available & to take some for the rest of the family to enjoy! This particular flavour is called "ZERO CHILL" which was sweet in all the right ways! Butterscotch Glaze topped w. Hershey's Kisses & Gluten Free Milk Chocolate Crumb
Heading back to one of my fav doughnut places after their reopening full of excitement I was highly underwhelmed. The doughnuts may be the same as the originals. However, the flavors aren't nearly as good as before with the dough tasting flavorless. Possibly due to a more healthier take than before. I'll definitely try again another time though.
3.5/5 rating
Let's hope it's only first few weeks and can regain that flavor from before because this sweetooth loves his doughnuts.
I had the Liam Hemsworthy and I liked the Red Velvet doughnut it was something a bit different. A friend bought the netflix n chill one and we shared that we both enjoyed it.
I had the Liam Hemsworthy doughnut here on DeGraves Street and I really liked the taste. The Red Velvet is soft, sweet and delicious and the chocolatey bits are to die for. Yum!
One of my favourite donut places! Absolutely delicious range of donuts. The different donuts are creative and inviting! The price is a bit steep but well worth it!
Had the Nutella doughnut and it was insane, also got one for my little sister and she loved it. Queue was long but so worth it. Absolutely delicious!
Pretty doughnut that for sure and they always have something special or limited edition on special day, the doughnut it self was ok but I believe there many places have better taste and better price
I hesitated before getting one of these bad boys because of the price. The "It's Always a Gay Time" doughnut was amazing. It was a little bit runny, but resembled a small cake. I really loved the texture of the dough. Perfect!
Love me some doughnut time and love it even more when there's a new flavour. Yesterday I tried the creme brûlée or creme da la creme as they call it which had a delicious toffee shard top. It doesn't knock down my ultimate faves Love at first Bite or Chris Hemsworth but lovers of custard will definitely be a fan of this one. Also awesome that they are opened until 11pm every day of the week to ensure your late night sugary snacks
The quirky little shopfront adds a modern touch to Degraves Street in Melbourne's CBD. With both the classics and more eclectic flavours on offer. The doughnuts are not for the faint-hearted. These desserts are overflowing at the seams with Nutella, salted caramel, jam, chocolates, confectionaries and even bacon!
The may be a tad overpriced, but ultimately worth it!
Really yummy vegan donuts. The perez one is really nice. Good quick service. Only wish there were more vegan options to choose from/just make them all vegan so everyone can eat them all.
I'm a lover for donuts, but gosh the size of these is ridiculous. Definitely one for sharing, the sugar content surely is 100% the names are very punny, and love at first bite has got to be the winner, Nutella all the way.
Haven't had donuts for years. I'm not that kind into it but heard this place is nice so give a shot. As I'm lactose free so I've ordered vegan one which is called get ready to crumble. Caramel glazed with pecans crumble, filling with apple and cinnamon. I'd say I really like it, not so sweet which I could accept it. I like cinnamon as well><
I'm by no means a doughnut expert but I just love Doughnut Time's branding. A huge colourful doughnut with pastel colours. What's not to like. It's catching, inviting and appetising!
The doughnut themselves are not bad either. There were heaps of choices to choose form and they are looked and sounded delicious. The Apple Crumble doughnut was pretty damn good!
Yum🍩 yum🍩 yum🍩 yum🍩 yum🍩 yum🍩. This should just be the review 😂😂😂. Ordered the Oh My Lorde with passionfruit and vanilla glaze 😍 topped with meringue and dried freeze strawberries 🍓. It all worked perfectly and tasted delicious as 😙

A big star that shines bright like the Great Windsor Star (there is also a branch of this franchise in Windsor).
Personally not the biggest fan of Doughnut Time's branding at their physical store sites. There is something about it that has always put me off visiting (don't like the green? or just the "gourmet donut" vibe of the whole place that is a bit played out).
Can attest that this CBD outlet is bustling. It is as though every innocent passersby seem to magically turn into a Doughnuyt Time customer as soon as they step onto Degraves St. There is always a little queue, nothing major though.
The food? I can attest to delivery, lets you skip the Degraves St environment. Doughnuts deliver in mint condition.
Ate: the OG, Slim Shady (haha), a Veruca Salt, and 'Oh My Lorde' (donut created for the NZ pop singer Lorde). A musical theme to this order.
BUT if you are a tourist and you are looking for good food in the CBD, go here. Degraves St is very cool for tourists (not an insult, just an observation, I loved this place as a tourist before I moved here). You will be tasting a Melbourne icon (BUT we can't claim it; remember that this chain, like many of Australia's best, started in QLD).
Thanks Doughnut Time! Next time my watch says "doughnut time" I will give you a call
The donuts at Doughnut Time are always changing, so you have a great excuse to revisit regularly (which is dangerous!) The venue for the Doughnut Time in the CBD is very conveniently placed close to Flinders Station, so you can walk across the road and get a snack immediately. The food itself is delicious, and I have been happy with every donut I have tried. Unfortunately this venue doesn't have a single place to sit down, so you have to walk around with your donut or wait until you get to the train. This is a huge oversight, as I know I love to sit and relax while eating.
Not too bad for choosing buy doughnut from this shop, tastes was good but price is a bit over. Staff was delight, friendly. I bought ' It's always a Gay time and Love at first bite ' was nice and a bit too sweet (prefer It's always a Gay time)
The doughnuts here are really nice but $6.70 for one doughnut is ridiculous! I was in Melbourne for a vacation so that was the only reason I could mentally be okay with paying that much for a doughnut because you don't want to think about money too much when you're on a holiday but in terms of taste, the doughnut that I tried from this Doughnut time stand was really well made and my partner enjoyed it too!

Though I more of a spice and savoury person, I must admit that I do need my sugar rush once in a while. My colleagues took me to Doughnut Time for a post lunch Dessert fix, and it's quiet obvious that these guys serve the best doughnuts in CBD. The huge queues and people leaving the place with boxes of doughnut goodness, proves that. The flavours were interesting to start with, with even more interesting toppings like cookie dough, lego (I trust, they are edible). But what was more interesting was their choice of names for the big bad doughnuts. Meet The Mint Eastwood or would you care for a Vegan Fox.
And I chose a date with Vegan Fox, which was a massive Chocolate glaze doughnut (which was vegan) topped with generous servings of freeze-dried strawberries with crushed pistachios scattered. The portion size was huge and was too much for one serving, unless you are greedy like me. I still recommend sharing it.
Quick Summary - A wonderfully cooked doughnut with melt-in-your-mouth toppings is a joy to enjoy with your loved one(s).
Doughnut Time, its going to take quiet a few visits to try out all the items on your menu, but I am not complaining, you are going to see me more in your long queue of customers.
Efficient service with generous decorated doughnuts sporting fun names!
We ordered the:
- Get Ready to Crumble (apple pie)
- The Milo Cyrus (milo w/ Milo custard)
- Slim Shady (original glaze with MnMs)
- Love at First Bite (nutellaaaaaa)
Pretty tasty doughnuts although I prefer them a bit smaller and my fave jam filled was a no show! Overall, worth a try if down Degraves and have a sweet craving :)
Hidden in the Degraves St. 2 minutes walk from Flinders St. station. This shop has some amazing mouthwatering donuts. I say one is enough for you. They are too big and sumptuous. Loved it.
They had one made just for Dustin Martin 🤣 #dustinator
If you are going to cheat – you should damn well do it right and go and get a box of Doughnut Time doughnuts!. These are no ordinary doughnuts, they are all especially named and designed to please! The window on De Graves Street is always crowded with people trying to work out what they are going to partake in, here’s just a few of the latest – what would you choose?;
Every time I am in Melbourne, these guys are on the agenda. That Veruca Salt doughnut is seriously what I live for when I am craving something sweet. I have tried their other doughnuts, and nothing to me stands out as much as the Vercua. The Vegan Fox is also up there for me 🍩
As far as doughnuts go I don't think they get better than this??? Low rating on here is misleading. If you want a good, sweet doughnut then get down here.
Again, just for the record...not a huge doughnut fan but I had to make an expectation when I came across this place ! The donuts are beautifully presented. I prefer the plain tasting doughnuts so I got the glazed flavour. I like how it's bigger than your usual sized doughnuts but at a price of $6+, one is enough.
Had the peanut butter milk shake, was amazing! The mini donut on top was as good as the regular-priced donuts. Also had a piece of flake chocolate on top, lovely.
Lamington donut was excellent as well.
Enjoyed their Nutella one very much. It was divine! Never had so much nutella filling in one donut!! The rest I had were not that outstanding but still quite delicious.
the two vegan doughnuts i had are amazing, hope you can increase the variety of vegan donuts available each day.. im not vegan anymore but i appreciate the option which i always still take

When I saw on Instagram that Doughnut Time, of the delightful Vegan Fox doughnuts, was offering a new flavour with an equally fun name, I couldn’t help but stop by. The Melon Degeneres (get it?) ($6) is exactly what it sounds like – a vibrant doughnut iced with a watermelon flavour and dotted with cacao nibs. We lined up at the cute Degraves Street shopfront, eyeing off all of the delicious, temption options – but no, we stuck to the mission. We actually carried this one around for a bit before eating, which may account for the oozy nature of the icing by the time we got around to eating it. The main feature of these doughnuts is that the doughnut itself is light, delicious, and not oily at all. This flavour was no exception to that rule, the icing
The service is great but you have to come later in the day if you don't like lines. The doughnuts are amazing and the poke-ball one is delicious because it is filled with nutella. They accidentally gave us the wrong doughnut and they let us keep it and were quick to give us the right one. The only thing I can say is that it is a bit pricey but overall very nice.
Tried the vegan options - Vegan fox and Match. Both were delicious and great to see some vegan donut options in the CBD! Friendly staff as well.
Sugar craving after lunch drew us to this place, we tried the nutella (good), caramel (ok), creme brulee (meh) but the most boring looking of them - pistachio was the absolute highlight. Some interesting flavours overall and even though i'm generally not big doughnuts, this place is worth a try.
The four stars is for that hot chocolate. Oh my god. It was that good. Service was mediocre. Besides that the Aero donut was terrible and bland.
God Damn! Melbourne's doughnut game has been all shook up! I've eaten some damn good examples of these circular creations (Voodoo donuts anyone?) and I'd put what Doughnut Time is offering up against the best of them. Usually when somewhere offers up every topping under the sun, they're usually covering up a less than spectacular dough which is not the case here. Light, fluffy and not overly-sweet, straight-up the dough ticks all the boxes. Went with the OG to test the waters and got hooked up with free Creme de la Creme, WHO DOES THAT?! Both nailed it and can't wait to get back
Not my favourite since i prefer light and fluffy donuts, their donuts are huge and chewy and look very pretty.
Okayyyyy. How could you resist these donuts with great taste and super duper cute presentation? I ordered the Ferrero and Smores donuts and I had no regret!
I have tried several flavors these days when i passed by. I love the salty chocolate best. It tastes smooth and the mixture of salty and sweet taste is fabulous.
Average doughnut, expected a lot more, doughnut was extremely sweet and one is more than enough, too much sugar and dough is dry at times. Expensive for what you get.
