Where do I begin? Long story short these people didn’t deliver the donut tower for my wedding - my literal wedding cake. Oh well I thought, we missed out on that moment but we had plenty of o... See more

My partner has an egg allergy and we struggled to find bakers that cater for allergies. We have crosstown regularly and found out they do tiered doughnuts, so this is as a non brainer for our wedding.... See more

About Crosstown

Written by the company

DOUGHNUTS COOKIES ICE CREAM CHOCOLATE CORPORATE EVENTS

Crosstown is an award-winning scratch bakery. We roll our dough by hand.

We make all of our jams, compotes, fillings, glazes and toppings in-house, fresh every day, using the finest ingredients we can find to deliver real, honest flavour.

It’s a lot of extra work, but we believe the results speak for themselves.

Quality should never be compromised no matter the quantity, although both can exist at the same time.

We think our doughnuts pair perfectly to specialty coffee, which is why we serve them together where we can.

Hi,

Thank you for your review.
I'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy our doughnuts which in contrast to many other companies are made by hand fresh at our bakery each day, by our team of talented bakers.

We believe that the proof is in the pudding, and whilst we cannot be to everyone's taste, our great value loyalty card offers £5 off your next order after your first purchase on our app or online which we hope gives you another chance to find a doughnut you might love should you not the first time.

We hope you'll try us again, but if not thank you for doing so the this time,

David

Customer service is terrible

Customer service is terrible!
Spent £34 to get 6 doughnuts delivered for a special occasion and they just never turned up, you can’t get through to anyone on the number they provide and no one responds to the mail box for 2 days. Said they would rearrange the delivery and once again they didn’t show up. They are now ignoring my emails. I would never order again

A dozen stale birthday doughnuts!

We ordered a dozen doughnuts and candles for my wife's birthday celebrations. We lit them up for a party a few hours after they were delivered, but the whole batch was stale!

My wife wanted them because she visited Bristol a few weeks ago and said they were great, but clearly they don't travel well!

I've never had such a heavy and dry doughnut! So disappointing, and expensive (this batch of 12 stale doughnuts cost over £60).

---

After reaching out to their support I was basically told to get lost, and that their doughnuts were heavier because of the sourdough base - despite having mentioned my wife had been to their Bristol branch a few weeks earlier and there they were completely different.

I won't order from them again, there is clearly a quality control issue and their customer service is just offensive!

Hi J,

I'm very sorry to hear of your recent experience, and particularly so given the intention they were ordered for.

Whilst I can assure you that all our doughnuts are freshly baked, and dispatched on the day they were made occasionally if inappropriately stored during delivery with one of our courier partners (e.g. placed next to a temperature source at a depot), this can negatively affect the quality.

Please note I have processed a full refund for this order (please allow up to 10 business days for the bank to send this across, unfortunately this is the timeline provided), and I hope that the £15 voucher my colleague sent will enable your wife to try a few of our recent seasonal menu next time you are near one of our stores.

I've ordered a couple of times from Crosstown and their doughnuts never fail to disappoint.
And, they really were amazing looking, delicious works of art disguised as donuts, couldn't have asked for better 🙂

Never fail to disappoint :)

I've ordered a couple of times from Crosstown and their doughnuts never fail to disappoint. It's a shame they are so expensive, otherwise I'm sure I would order more frequently.

Fantastic all round!

They took an order the night before Christmas eve, then happily delivered on Christmas eve to à hotel that the recipient was staying in. And, they really were amazing looking, delicious works of art disguised as donuts. Couldn't have asked for better 🙂

Poor delivery

Doughnuts were ok - but delivery let it down. A couple of weeks after placing the order for delivery crosstown notified us they could not deliver on the agreed day… so we had to accept delivery earlier, meaning food was a bit stale for the event planned.

The best dougnuts ever

The best dougnuts ever. If you ain’t tried it, you haven’t lived. The fact they do nationwide delivery was on a game changer and it was on point. Great service all round

Wedding doughnuts

Crosstown provided doughnuts for our doughnut tower wedding cake. Communication was good throughout and when I had a problem accessing their online platform to finalise all the order details they were able to get it all sorted for us in time for our big day. Everyone said how delicious the doughnuts were and was a big hit at our wedding.

Naughty, but Nice

These doughnuts are amazing, I cannot fault them, but delivery was poor. The box was left outside my front door, I have a porch and a bell, but they did not knock or leave in then in a safe place.
