The Good Stuff
Vegan Options
The vegan doughnuts are repeatedly described as fresh, tasty and delicious, giving plant-based visitors a clear choice.
Pistachio Favourites
Pistachio appears in standout orders, from a Dubai chocolate pistachio doughnut to a heavily filled pistachio doughnut.
Coffee Pairings
Speciality coffee gets strong praise, with one customer calling the latte one of Dubai’s top five.
Flaky Treats
The New York Roll was praised for its flaky pastry and chocolate filling, offering an alternative to doughnuts.
Takeaway Care
A Raspberry Tart was packaged carefully for the journey home, so it arrived without breaking.
Calm Setting
Reviews describe a calm atmosphere and a modern design that works for a quick dessert stop.
Tips for a Better Visit
Go Earlier. Visit earlier in the day if freshness matters; one reviewer said older evening doughnuts did not taste as good.
Ask Vegan. Ask about vegan availability before choosing; a Circle Mall customer found the vegan doughnuts had already sold out.
Check Seating. If you want to sit, avoid peak hours where possible because a review specifically flags limited seating.
Confirm Discount. If using an Esaad card, confirm the discount before paying; one customer received conflicting information on a return visit.
Try Specials. Ask about seasonal or limited-edition doughnuts, which one reviewer recommended as changing regularly and selling out fast.
Check Box Fee. If buying several doughnuts, ask whether the takeaway box costs extra; one customer was charged 5dirhams for it.

The Bottom Line
HERE-O Donuts is a Circle Mall stop in Jumeirah Village Circle for doughnuts, coffee and takeaway pastries. The reviews most often point to fresh, soft doughnuts, with vegan doughnuts, Dubai chocolate pistachio doughnuts and Red Velvet among the specific orders that get attention. The speciality coffee latte is another draw, while the New York Roll brings a flaky, chocolate-filled alternative.
There is a useful takeaway angle here. A Raspberry Tart was packaged carefully for the trip home, and a delivery order arrived with a handwritten note and a complimentary doughnut. The setting is described as modern, calm and cheerful, though seating can be limited at peak times, so it may suit a quick dessert break better than a long café session.
Timing matters. One customer found the doughnuts good when fresh but disappointing by evening, and vegan options had sold out during one Circle Mall visit. Ask what has been baked recently and check vegan availability before ordering.
The pistachio supreme croissant also received a notably poor review for stale pastry and bitter pistachio paste, despite other positive croissant feedback. Prices are not universally viewed the same way: one reviewer called the doughnuts expensive, while another praised the value. A speciality coffee latte was reported at 15 dhs, and one customer was charged 5dirhams for a requested box.
