Dough Darlings has a very cozy and welcoming atmosphere. While the donuts were a bit too sweet for my personal preference, I appreciated the wide variety of donut flavors available. The coffee was delicious and well-made, making the overall experience enjoyable.

I’ve always loved Dough Darlings, and this Seminyak branch is just as good as the one I usually visit in Jimbaran. The donuts are soft, fluffy, and have that perfect light sweetness especially the cinnamon sugar donut, my all-time favorite. The coffee is smooth and pairs perfectly with the donuts. The café itself is cozy, clean, and a nice place to sit for a quick break. Staff are friendly and everything feels consistent. Definitely one of the best spots for artisanal doughnuts in Bali!

Doughnuts are delicious. We had the cinnamon sugar, the chocolate, and a red one (can't remember the flavor). Perfectly situated in Seminyak with a number of other great eateries in the area like KYND and a sushi restaurant. Definitely worth a visit. So fluffy, so good.

Friendly staffs welcomed us and patiently explaining the menus. I got white choco speculoos. It was so good and i love its cinnamon fragrances. The dough is airy, fluffy and light. Latte was good, the acidity is mildly sharp for me. Cozy place inside, yet pretty small (typically cafe in seminyak) but not too cramped. Love it!

The donuts are super fluffy and light, not too dense so they don’t feel heavy at all. The sweetness is well-balanced and the toppings are creative with lots of unique flavors. Perfect for coffee pairing or a light dessert. The place itself is also cozy for a quick stop.

So, we were walking casually to another spot, but somehow we spotted this cute doughnut shop alonv the way so we decided to take a look. There’s quite a variety in the doughnuts menu, we tried the Lime Mint and Salted Caramel Almond, both were bombs! The lime mint was sour yet so refreshing, such a unique flavour and a must try. While the salted caramel almond was casually sweet and salty and crunchy. Combining it with the lime mint: flavour burst! The dough was full yet fluffy and soft. Def a good bite! We’ll definitely return here again for another flavours so I’ll give a 4-star for now. The 5 is for the next visit! :))

It was an excellent place to sample some doughnuts in the late afternoon. It wasn’t very busy given the time of the day but a lot of their flavours had sold out. Every thing we sampled was very good quality. I highly recommend the gluten free mini bubble doughnuts. Drinks were also refreshing and nice. Recommended

Their donuts are next-level good! The dough is perfectly fluffy... soft yet full and satisfying. Tried the blueberry lime donut, and wow! The flavor just bursts in your mouth, not too sweet, just right. A solid 10 for me. Giving 4 stars as there is always room for improvement and enhancement and can't wait to see more flavors coming in. Definitely worth a stop when you are in Bali!
