Greggs Doughnut Guide: Every Doughnut & Price (2026)
A Greggs doughnut is one of the simplest pleasures on the high street: sweet, soft, easy to eat on the move, and still one of the most affordable treats on the menu. This Greggs doughnut guide lists every doughnut in the verified 2026 sweet treats range, with its standard high-street takeaway price, so you can choose before you reach the counter instead of deciding under pressure while a queue forms behind you.
There are eight doughnuts in the list below, from £1.10 to £1.70. That is a small range, and that is part of its charm. You are not choosing between dozens of near-identical options. You are choosing between a classic ring, a jam-filled favourite, a sprinkle-topped treat, a custard and caramel option, a pink icon, a chocolate-heavy choice, a seasonal autumn doughnut, and a custard cream doughnut that appears in some listings. Read the whole guide once, note the two or three that sound most like your taste, and your next visit becomes much quicker.
Prices in this guide are standard-tier UK high-street takeaway prices from the verified menu data used on this site. Prices can vary by store, and London, city-centre, airport and station shops often charge more. This site is not affiliated with Greggs. If a doughnut is seasonal or sold out at your local shop, the staff at the counter and the Greggs app are the best check on the day.
Every Greggs Doughnut at a Glance: Prices in 2026
Use this table as your quick reference. The sections that follow explain each doughnut in more detail, including who it suits best and what to pair it with.
| Doughnut | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Glazed Ring Doughnut | £1.10 | A simple, classic sweet treat |
| Jam Doughnut | £1.10 | Jam lovers who want a filled doughnut |
| Sugar Strand Doughnut | £1.40 | Colourful, fun, sprinkle-topped choice |
| Caramel Custard Doughnut | £1.40 | Custard and caramel fans |
| Pink Jammie Doughnut | £1.40 | The famous pink Greggs favourite |
| Triple Chocolate Doughnut | £1.50 | Chocolate lovers |
| Pumpkin Spice Doughnut | £1.50 | Autumn seasonal flavour |
| Vanilla Custard Cream Doughnut | £1.70 | A richer custard cream option |
The cheapest doughnuts, at £1.10, are the Glazed Ring and the Jam Doughnut. The most expensive in this list, at £1.70, is the Vanilla Custard Cream Doughnut, which is listed in some sources and may not be stocked everywhere. The other five sit at £1.40 or £1.50. In other words, the whole doughnut range spans just 60p from the lowest to the highest price. That makes a doughnut an easy add-on to a coffee or a meal deal, and it also means the choice can be about flavour first and price second, because no doughnut here will surprise you at the till.
The £1.10 Classics: Glazed Ring and Jam Doughnut
These two doughnuts do the quiet work of the range. They are the least expensive, the most familiar, and often the easiest to enjoy without thinking too hard about it. If you only want something sweet with a hot drink, start here.
Glazed Ring Doughnut — £1.10
The Glazed Ring Doughnut is the classic ring doughnut, finished with a sweet glaze. It is the doughnut to choose when you want sweetness and softness without a filling, and without a strong extra flavour competing with your coffee. It travels well, it is easy to eat while walking, and it is a good choice for anyone who is trying a Greggs doughnut for the first time and wants the plainest version of the idea.
It also pairs well with almost any hot drink. A regular Americano at £1.80 keeps the total low and lets the glaze do the talking. A regular latte at £2.40 makes the whole stop feel more like a proper coffee break. Either way, the Glazed Ring is the low-risk, low-cost starting point, and it is one of the reasons the doughnut range feels so affordable. For the full sweet treats range, see the Greggs sweet treats page.
Jam Doughnut — £1.10
The Jam Doughnut is the other £1.10 option, and it suits a different mood. Where the Glazed Ring is about the dough and the glaze, the Jam Doughnut is about the filling. If you like a doughnut with something inside it, and you like jam, this is the straightforward choice at the lowest doughnut price on the menu.
Because it is filled, take a little more care when you eat it on the move, especially if you are carrying a bag or a coffee at the same time. That small practical point aside, the Jam Doughnut is excellent value. It costs the same as the Glazed Ring, it feels more substantial because of the filling, and it is a useful reminder that the cheapest option is not always the plainest option. If you are buying for someone else and you are not sure what they like, a Jam Doughnut is a safe, popular, affordable pick.
The £1.40 Favourites: Sugar Strand, Caramel Custard and Pink Jammie
The middle of the range, at £1.40, holds three very different doughnuts. One is bright and playful, one is smooth and rich, and one is the pink doughnut that many people picture first when they think of Greggs. All three cost the same, so the decision is purely about taste and occasion.
Sugar Strand Doughnut — £1.40
The Sugar Strand Doughnut is the most colourful doughnut in the guide. Its sprinkle-style topping makes it an instant favourite with children and with anyone buying a treat that needs to look fun as well as taste sweet. It is the doughnut most likely to be chosen for a birthday treat, a Friday pick-me-up, or a small celebration at work, because it looks like a treat before you even take a bite.
At £1.40, it is only 30p more than the two £1.10 classics. That small step up buys a very different appearance and a different eating experience. If you are choosing doughnuts for a group, include at least one Sugar Strand Doughnut in the box or bag. It adds colour to the selection, it is easy to spot, and it often disappears first. Check the full range on the Greggs menu prices homepage, where the full menu lives, before you go.
Caramel Custard Doughnut — £1.40
The Caramel Custard Doughnut combines two flavours that work well together: smooth custard and sweet caramel. It suits shoppers who find a plain glazed doughnut a little too simple but do not want the intensity of a triple chocolate option. The custard gives it a softer, creamier centre, and the caramel gives it a deeper sweetness than jam alone.
This is a good doughnut to pair with a plain hot drink rather than a flavoured latte. A regular Americano, a regular white coffee at £1.80, or a regular tea at £1.50 will balance the sweetness without adding another sweet flavour on top. If you prefer a flavoured drink, a regular latte is still a safe pairing, but a caramel latte on top of a caramel custard doughnut may be too sweet for many people. Try the plain pairing first, then decide whether you want more sweetness next time.
Pink Jammie Doughnut — £1.40
The Pink Jammie Doughnut is arguably the most recognisable doughnut Greggs sells. The pink topping, the jam-style centre, and the name itself have made it a favourite for photographs, for social media, and for shoppers who want the doughnut they have heard friends talk about. It is not the cheapest doughnut, and it is not the most expensive. At £1.40, it sits right in the middle of the range, which makes it easy to justify as a treat.
Choose the Pink Jammie when you want the classic Greggs doughnut experience rather than a quiet, plain option. It is also a strong choice when you are buying a doughnut as a small gift or a thank-you, because most people recognise it straight away. Our wider ranking of sweet treats, including doughnuts, cookies and cakes, is in Greggs Sweet Treats Ranked: Doughnuts, Cookies & Cakes, if you want to compare doughnuts with the rest of the sweet range before you decide.
The Richer and Seasonal Picks: £1.50 and £1.70
The top end of the doughnut range is still affordable, but the flavours become richer and, in two cases, seasonal or less widely listed. These are the doughnuts to try when you already know the classics and want something different.
Triple Chocolate Doughnut — £1.50
The Triple Chocolate Doughnut is the choice for chocolate lovers, plain and simple. If you usually choose chocolate cake, a chocolate muffin, or a chocolate cookie, this is the doughnut version of that preference. It is richer than the Glazed Ring or the Jam Doughnut, and it is best enjoyed slowly, ideally sitting down with a hot drink rather than eaten quickly on the way to a train.
Pair it with a drink that will not fight the chocolate. A regular Americano at £1.80 is a good contrast, because its bitterness cuts through the sweetness. A regular hot chocolate at £2.50, by contrast, doubles down on chocolate, and some people love that, but many will find the combination too rich. If you are buying a Triple Chocolate Doughnut as part of a sweet treat and hot drink deal, check the deal terms in store, because the sweet treat plus hot drink deal starts from £2.85 and the exact saving depends on the items and the shop.
Pumpkin Spice Doughnut — £1.50 (Seasonal, Autumn)
The Pumpkin Spice Doughnut is listed as a seasonal autumn item at £1.50. Seasonal means it is not available all year, so if you see it, and you like autumn flavours, try it while it is there. Pumpkin spice is a warming, spiced flavour that suits cooler weather, and it pairs naturally with the autumn hot drinks range, including the regular Pumpkin Spice Latte at £2.85 where it is available.
Because it is seasonal, do not assume your local shop will have it on every visit. Availability can vary by shop and by week, and autumn lines are often replaced by Christmas and winter lines as the season changes. If pumpkin spice is your favourite flavour, it is worth checking the Greggs app or asking in store early in the autumn rather than leaving it until the end of the season. Our guide to the new autumn items, including this doughnut, is New Greggs Items to Try This Season.
Vanilla Custard Cream Doughnut — £1.70
The Vanilla Custard Cream Doughnut is listed at £1.70 in some sources, which makes it the highest-priced doughnut in this guide. Treat that price with a little caution: it is a single-source listing in the verified data, so the price and availability may vary more than the other doughnuts in this guide. If your shop stocks it, check the shelf price before you buy, as you should with any item whose price you have not seen in store.
Flavour-wise, it is the custard lover’s doughnut. Vanilla and custard cream flavours are smooth, familiar, and less sharp than jam or caramel. If you enjoy the Caramel Custard Doughnut but would prefer a plainer, vanilla-led version, this is the one to look for. If you cannot find it, the Caramel Custard Doughnut at £1.40 is the closest widely listed alternative, and it saves you 30p as well.
How to Choose the Right Greggs Doughnut
With eight options, the best way to choose is to work through three short questions. First, do you want a filled doughnut or a ring? If you want a ring, the Glazed Ring is your option. If you want a filling, the Jam, Caramel Custard, Pink Jammie and Vanilla Custard Cream doughnuts are the filled choices to compare. Second, how sweet and rich do you want it? Start plain with the Glazed Ring or Jam, go middle with the Pink Jammie or Caramel Custard, and go rich with the Triple Chocolate. Third, is it a special occasion? If so, the Sugar Strand or the Pink Jammie will look the part, and the seasonal Pumpkin Spice doughnut will feel timely in autumn.
- Lowest cost: Glazed Ring Doughnut and Jam Doughnut, both £1.10.
- Best all-rounder: Pink Jammie Doughnut at £1.40 — recognisable, affordable, and widely liked.
- Best for children: Sugar Strand Doughnut at £1.40 — colourful and fun.
- Best for chocolate lovers: Triple Chocolate Doughnut at £1.50.
- Best for custard lovers: Caramel Custard Doughnut at £1.40, or Vanilla Custard Cream at £1.70 where stocked.
- Best seasonal try: Pumpkin Spice Doughnut at £1.50 in autumn, while it lasts.
Buying for a group? Mix the range instead of buying eight of the same doughnut. Two £1.10 classics, two £1.40 favourites, and one or two richer options give everyone a choice and keep the average cost low. A mixed selection also makes it easier to learn what each person likes, so the next order is faster. Remember that doughnuts are best eaten fresh, so buy them close to when you plan to eat them, and keep them in their bag or box until then.
Doughnuts, Coffee and Meal Deals: Getting the Best Value
A doughnut on its own is affordable, but a doughnut with a hot drink is often the better way to buy it, because Greggs offers a sweet treat plus hot drink deal from £2.85. That deal pairs any pastry or sweet treat with a regular hot drink. The exact saving depends on which doughnut and which drink you choose, and on the shop, so check the deal price at the counter and compare it with buying the two items separately. As a rough guide, a Glazed Ring at £1.10 plus a regular Americano at £1.80 would be £2.90 separately, so a deal from £2.85 can save a small amount on that combination, while a higher-priced doughnut with a higher-priced drink can save more.
For drink pairings, our Greggs Coffee Prices guide compares every hot drink, from the £1.80 regular Americano and regular white coffee to the £2.40 regular latte and cappuccino and the £2.50 regular mocha and hot chocolate. In general, plain drinks pair best with rich doughnuts, and flavoured drinks pair best with plain doughnuts. A regular tea at £1.50 is also an underrated pairing for a sweet doughnut, because it is the cheapest hot drink in the range and its lightness balances the sweetness well.
If you are visiting in the evening or buying food as well as a doughnut, remember that doughnuts are part of the sweet treats range, not the savoury meal deal range. The savoury bake plus hot drink deal starts from £3.35, and the core lunch deal is £4.25, but those deals cover different items. Ask in store if you are unsure which deal your doughnut qualifies for, and check the shelf and counter signs, which usually show the current deal clearly. Prices vary by store, and franchise and London shops may charge more, so the deal price you see in one shop may not be identical in another.
What to Check Before You Buy
Three quick checks will save disappointment. First, check availability: not every shop stocks every doughnut every day, and seasonal lines like the Pumpkin Spice Doughnut come and go. Second, check the price on the shelf or in the app, especially for the Vanilla Custard Cream Doughnut, whose £1.70 listing comes from a single source, and for any shop in London, at an airport, or at a station, where prices run higher. Third, check allergen and ingredient information in store or in the Greggs app if you have an allergy, intolerance, or dietary requirement. This guide does not list ingredients or allergens, because recipes and suppliers can change, and the in-store and app information is the reliable source on the day.
It is also worth remembering that Greggs doughnuts are a treat, not a meal. They are sweet, they are filling for their size, and they are best enjoyed as part of a balanced day. If you are watching calories, this site does not list calorie counts for doughnuts. Verified doughnut figures come from Greggs’ official Nutrition Guide (September 2026). Do not rely on figures from other websites for doughnuts. The Nutrition Guide, the Greggs app and in-store nutrition information are the places to check if calories matter to you on a particular visit.
