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.

Sadly what I ordered on the site wasn’t what I got. Which is embarrassing when saying happy birthday to someone when the doughnuts say congratulations on your new baby. Luckily my friend was fine about it but it could’ve been worse!
The actual doughnuts flavours were great.

There clearly aren't any Germans or Americans rating this doughnut. They are basically bread with sweet toppings. They're not light, they're not fluffy, they're not that tasty. Just stodgy. People are too quick to big up something new or different.

Hi Sonia,
Thank you for reaching out and leaving your feedback. We always appreciate it!
I am sorry that you were unhappy with your recent experience with Crosstown. As I am sure you already know, our products are made fresh daily by our wonderful team of bakers in our Battersea location. With our award winning sourdough base, this tends to give the texture of each doughnut more of a weighty bread like feel. I understand that this may not be what you were expecting compared to a more traditional supermarket doughnut.
I hope you might try us again, but if you do wish to discuss your experience more feel free to reach out to us at customerservice@crosstown.co.uk.
Best wishes,
Erik

Very poor Vegan Peanut butter and Blackberry compote donought for £5...…
This was not very nice and definitely not worth £5 price tag. Firstly it was dry, dense and chewy with no discernable flavour. Some peanuts, may be a dessert spoonful of peanut was sprinkled on the Donought. The Blackberry compote was very dry and tart (very lemony).
It was definitely not a nice experience and will not be repeated. Tasted worse than a supermarket

Hi Juliet,
Thank you for reaching out and leaving your feedback. It is always appreciated. I am sorry we could not provide the experience you were looking for on this occasion.
As I am sure you are aware, Crosstown is set apart from other high street or supermarket doughnut brands by the premium quality ingredients that we use, as well as the hand-crafted nature of our treats. Every doughnut, glaze and compote are freshly made each day, by a member of our fabulous scratch bakery team, at our site in Battersea. As you know, they tend to have a slightly different texture from other doughnuts, due to the signature Sourdough base for which we are famous. This tends to offer a weightier, more bread like finish, which could have been the reason they weren't quite what you were expecting. I'm sure it will be incredibly disappointing for our team of lovely bakers to hear that the product crafted by themselves, for you, was not enjoyed, but will forward this feedback onto the bakery team for their review.
Please feel free to reach out to us at customerservice@crosstown.co.uk if you would like to discuss this further, or any questions you may have. I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead!
Best wishes,
Erik

Good delivery but I want more of a say regarding flavours.
The Doughnuts are delicious indeed. However, I do wish we had more autonomy in choosing flavors. Not that the flavors given were bad, on the contrary. When you go in, that is the only time you can choose really. It's more expensive to get delivered too, and the packaging isn't amazing. Other doughnut deliveries provide more choices & control with flavors or at the very least you know exactly what you're ordering and not hoping they pick ones you like. If they did provide this, this would honestly be a vastly better experience and you can be sure we'd speak with our wallets and dare I say pay more for that extra little bit of control. I get that the casual buyer may like the one-off surprise of random flavors but for me personally, "likely to include" is just simply not good enough. Don't get me wrong I love the doughnuts, especially the cake ones which are often hard to find, just wish it was like choosing in-store, only in postal form.

Favourite flavours no longer available
The first time I had crosstown doughnuts, they had 2 amazing flavours. Matcha and almond butter. I bought often. Now they have none of these. Quite disappointing.

Hi Leo,
Thank you for reaching out to us! I am so happy to hear that you were a fan of our previous flavours, but I understand the upsetting factor of expecting these flavours and they not being available. Our brilliant head chef at Crosstown is always mixing up new flavours in the bakery, and we are constantly switching out flavours. That being said, it does not mean that old flavours will not return in the future again, we are just stepping aside to shine the spotlight on something new.
I hope we can welcome you back again soon. Please keep an eye on our socials and website for new and old flavours launch dates.
Best wishes,
Erik
