You shouldn’t advertise that you have gluten-free donuts when you only serve them for about 30 minutes in the morning. Make Mark gluten-free donuts if you’re gonna actually advertise that you sell them to other than one or two people.

I am not a huge fan of doughnuts, but Cider Belly Doughnuts are on another level. The doughnuts are a perfect size and have a very delicious flavor. There are a ton of options to choose from. This place is a gem 💎 in the area. Go indulge and support a lovely local business.
My mother and I stopped into Cider Belly Donuts for the first time, excited to support a local business. Unfortunately, we were met with an attitude that left us shocked — especially coming from the owner herself.
She was warm and friendly to every other customer in line, but when it came to us, her tone and demeanor completely changed. We’re a mixed-race family, and while I hope that wasn’t the reason, it was hard not to notice the difference.
When we asked what types of sugar they offered, she replied, “I have no idea.” Then when my mom asked for cream and sugar, she just pointed across the room without saying a word. When my mom explained that it was our first time there, the owner looked us up and down with what felt like clear disgust.
We left feeling deeply unwelcome. The donuts may be good, but no amount of sweetness can cover up that kind of treatment — especially from the person who represents the business.

Absolute delicious!!! We had Cider Belly be our wedding dessert and they were a hit!! Everyone loved all the delicious flavors and the beautiful display! Jen was amazing to work with from the beginning. They even put a special box aside for the newlyweds to ensure they also get so enjoy the yummy doughnuts!

Wow , 32 dollars for a dozen donuts, not even a baker's dozen to compensate the insult. 1st time , last time. Retirement fund pricing....

These donuts are delicious. I’ve been to a lot of donut places and this one is near the top of my list. A little pricey but worth it.

This place is so dangerous i only allow myself to visit every other month. Not only are the doughnuts sinfully delicious 🫨 and an absolute MUST. But lets just talk about the coffee. So far it is Hands down the nicest tastiest coffee, cappuccino, latte, I have had in the capital area, and i am picky about my coffee.
Best cider donuts we found on our trip! Loved the SapSucker with maple frosting!

Its the cakey kinda donuts.
The cake part was fresh n squishy...only thing I didnt love was that the glaze was too thick.and sweet for me.
Now thats just me....Im a light on the glaze higher kinda guy.
Place was cute and the worker peeps were nice.

The selection of deliciousness is astounding!! Chefs are creative and have customers tummy’s in mind here. We got a bakers dozen and were surprised at how yummy doughnuts can be! (Flavor combinations are delightful: I would add a lemon poppy doughnut with blueberry glaze or seasonal sweet potato with cinnamon glaze maybe rolled in crushed pecans?) The service is outstanding! The place is clean and well decorated, inviting also…perfect location if you work in Albany, or Colonie. I will definitely return. Doughnuts are versatile snack, dessert or even breakfast. Imagine if there were some at work, it would give people a pep in their step! (Even if it were doughnut holes)
