Cider Belly Doughnuts

Large selection of donut options that were pretty decent. Friendly staff. Not a place for coffee lovers and no public restroom which wasn’t great for our road trip purposes.

The best doughnuts I ever had! Eating just the original one is so delicious, but there are so many interessting and inspiring flavors.

The banana pancake was by far my favorite. With the blueberry lemon being a close second.The fruit glazes were all so vibrant and fresh, not artificial tasting.

Perhaps the best doughnut 🍩 shop in the Capital District. A wide variety of donuts 🍩 including Vegan options. This new location is also extremely clean and the staff is very friendly. The original location on North Pearl Street closed in February 2023 due to lack of sales as State workers continue to telecommute and never returned to Downtown Albany in the same numbers as those prior to COVID. Doughnuts range from $2 to $5 a piece. Great treats but tons of calories and sugar!

This was my first time visiting the new cider belly location and I wasnt disappointed. They had several varieties of gluten free donuts available as well as their classics and of course the day olds and other "flops" are offered at a deep discount. I do wish there was a cheaper way to order large quanitites of the fancier donuts, my wallet forced me to get 2 dozen of the plain and sugar varieties for my coworkers rather than the ones with glazes and toppings. I wish that they offered larger boxes of flops here like they used to in the Albany location (on the day I came in there were dozens of bagged flops that could easily have been boxed together. Still, thats not enough of a complaint to keep me from giving the donuts 5*s. The donuts themselves are amazing and keep me coming back for more!
