FAQ - Frequently Ask Questions:
Do we get to pick the Donut Stops?
That’s our job! We’ve had lots of fun testing out all of the city’s awesome Donut spots, and finding those quirky characters. Trust us, that’s why you came here.
Will I be satisfied with the number of donuts?
Absolutely! Our tastings at each stop offer a diverse range of flavors and styles. Instead of full-sized donuts, our tasting sizes ensure a broader tasting experience. We prioritize diverse and unique flavors, so if you're only after a classic frosted donut, this might not be the tour for you. Dive in and discover something new!
Do we get an itinerary/tasting list in advance?
The tasting choices and stops are revealed as part of the experience itself as it unfolds. You can explore our example flavors and the caliber of Donut Shops to get a feel for what we offer.
Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?
While our tour is tailored for a diverse tasting experience, around 80-90% of our pre-selected items are not vegetarian or gluten-free. Be aware that some choices may contain nuts, pork, and non-dairy ingredients. Due to our commitment to timely service and avoiding long queues, our donuts are pre-ordered, making individual adjustments for dietary needs challenging.
