Could Be Worse - Edit
The vegan donuts were fine, but nothing special. It was also very disheartening seeing the trays upon trays of normal donuts, and then one little pan of vegan donuts.

Not the greatest experience - Edit
We went to Cider Belly after reading reviews of their delicious vegan donuts. When we arrived, we found a large array of donuts, nearly labeled and a single tray of vegan donuts, unlabeled and only one of each variety. Since they weren't labeled, I asked the employee to tell us what they were. She listed off nine donuts flavors in rapid succession. I had to ask her again what one or two were and she seemed visibly annoyed. We picked our donuts and checked out. We paid $23 for 6 donuts, which seems pretty expensive to me, especially after tasting them. Yes, it's a good cake donut but all of the "flavors" tasted the same, like plain vanilla. Very disappointing. Save the time and money and just go to to B*tchin Donuts instead, especially since they're fully vegan!

Yummy but preorder - Edit
Only their Fuller Rd location is open currently, check Instagram for weekly vegan flavors. Get there early or preorder; only had 4 vegan donuts left in the case when we arrived on Sunday morning. Blueberry flavor was fantastic. Too bad they didn’t have any of the more exciting frosted flavors like bday cake etc available in vegan.

Great Donuts - Edit
Got there at 8 am on a Sunday and there was a tray of probably 15-20 vegan donuts. They had French toast, apple cider, lemon, pear, pumpkin, blackberry, and black raspberry. We got one of each minus the pumpkin and blackberry. Donuts had a great texture and flavor but you definitely have to get there early as they sell out frequently. Also have non-dairy milks for coffee.

Decent but not worth the hype - Edit
The donuts are pretty good, but they are nothing like Strawberry Snails. For the price and the rarity of finding a vegan donut at Cider Belly, it isn't worth it.

Cake donuts, which are and always have been my favorite. I was expecting more vegan options from I’ve read online but considering the amount of donut favors or options there I was surprised to see one tray simple marked “vegan”. Granted they had several different icing combinations on the tray but when I ordered a dozen it damn near wiped them out of vegan donuts, at least from the ones on display. Fairly expensive too, $2 a donut which I don’t think is necessarily bad but when you buy a dozen it adds up. $24 for a dozen small, almost mini donuts is a bit much, they definitely should have some half dozen and dozen pricing. That being said they were delicious, soft with a perfect crunchy cake crust...mmm just thinking about them now makes me want one or 4.

Delish, moist vegan doughnuts - Edit
Best doughnut spot in Albany. Don’t go anywhere else. Really delicious icing options. Best variety of flavors you can find for vegan doughnuts!

Excellent! - Edit
Hands down the best donuts I’ve ever had! I went there with my daughter to get their vegan donuts near closing time. They were very nice & even gave us a great deal on two bags of donuts because they were closing. They were so creamy, rich, & moist! We tried a variety & they were all delicious! I can’t wait to go back...I’ve been craving them ever since!
