Greggs Mango Doughnut: Price, Calories & Honest 2026 Review
Everything worth knowing about Greggs’ Mango & Passion Fruit Doughnut — what it costs right now versus launch day, the calories straight off the official label, the allergens, and whether it’s actually worth queuing for.
I’ll be honest, a doughnut that promises “a taste of the tropical” had a lot to live up to. Greggs’ Mango & Passion Fruit Doughnut has been one of the most talked-about additions to the 2026 summer line-up, so I dug through the official numbers, tracked the price since launch day, and queued up for one myself. Here’s everything you need before you order one, with nothing padded out and nothing guessed.
The basics
What Is the Greggs Mango Doughnut, Exactly?
Underneath the tropical branding, it’s built on the same soft ring doughnut base as the classic Jam or Glazed Ring. Greggs fills it with a mango and passion fruit centre, then tops it with matching mango and passion fruit flavoured icing and a scattering of sugar pearls for crunch. It’s officially called the Mango & Passion Fruit Doughnut, though most people (myself included) just call it the Greggs mango doughnut.
It sits in the Sweet Treats section of the menu, alongside the rest of the Greggs Sweet Treats range, and was designed to headline the bakery’s summer push into more fruit-led, tropical flavours.
Timing
When Did It Launch, and Where Can You Get One?
The Mango & Passion Fruit Doughnut landed nationwide on Thursday 7 May 2026, as the sweet-treat headliner of Greggs’ summer 2026 menu refresh. It launched alongside a new Mango Lemonade (Greggs suggests pairing the two), plus a wider reset that brought back warm-weather regulars like the Red Pepper, Feta & Spinach Bake and the Pesto Chicken Flatbread.
You can pick one up in shops, through Click+Collect on the Greggs app, or via Just Eat and Uber Eats, the same as most of the current menu. As a seasonal summer item, there’s no guarantee it’ll still be on the counter come autumn, so if you’ve been meaning to try it, this is the season to do it.
Price watch
How Much Does the Greggs Mango Doughnut Cost in 2026?
This is the bit most “new menu item” write-ups skip, because it changes. On launch day, 7 May 2026, it was priced at £1.40. By 2026, independent UK price-tracking sites had it listed at £1.70 in-store — a 30p jump in around three months, which works out to roughly a 21% rise.

That £1.70 also makes it the single most expensive doughnut on the standard Greggs counter right now — pricier than the Triple Chocolate, Pink Jammie or Pumpkin Spice, which all sit at £1.50. Prices do vary a little by store type (standard high street versus city/London or airport branches typically run higher), so treat these as a solid guide rather than gospel, and check locally before you order. Greggs’ own Price Finder tool is the quickest way to check an exact branch.
Worth knowing
Despite being the priciest doughnut, it isn’t the most calorific one — more on that below. If you’re chasing value rather than novelty, the Jam Doughnut 4-Pack works out at roughly 86p each, the cheapest way to eat a Greggs doughnut in 2026.

Where 266 kcal Sits on the Doughnut Counter
It lands almost exactly in the middle of the range: heavier than a Jam Doughnut (236 kcal), lighter than a Caramel Custard (276 kcal). Here’s the full spread, lightest to heaviest:
Why every doughnut has a calorie count next to the price
It’s not just Greggs being helpful — it’s the law. Under the Calorie Labelling (Out of Home Sector) (England) Regulations 2021, any food business in England with 250 or more staff has to display calorie information at the point you choose your food. Greggs comfortably falls into that bracket, which is why the kcal figure sits right there on the shelf label. If you want to understand what the colours on some nutrition labels mean, GOV.UK’s own guide to checking the label is a quick read.
Dietary info
Allergens & Dietary Info: Vegan? Gluten-Free?
According to Greggs’ official product listing, the Mango & Passion Fruit Doughnut contains soya, wheat and milk. Here’s how that breaks down for common dietary needs:
As always with a bakery counter, recipes and allergen information can change, and cross-contact with other allergens is possible since everything’s prepared in the same kitchen. If you’re managing a food allergy, check the current details before you order rather than relying on any single article, this one included.

So, Is It Actually Any Good? My Honest Take
My rating, not an official Greggs score
The dough itself is exactly what you’d expect from Greggs: soft, slightly warm if you’re lucky enough to catch a fresh batch, and not too greasy. The mango filling is the star — properly sweet and fruity rather than artificial-tasting — while the passion fruit shows up more in the icing, giving it a sharper, slightly tart edge that stops the whole thing from being sickly. The sugar pearls add a nice bit of crunch against the soft dough, though they’re more decorative than game-changing.
Where it loses marks is value. At £1.70, it costs more than every other standard doughnut on the counter, and a single Krispy Kreme doughnut bought individually will often set you back even more, so it’s not wildly out of step with the wider market. Still, compared with a Jam Doughnut at £1.15 or a Glazed Ring at £1.20, you’re paying a real premium for the tropical branding. If you’re a fan of mango and passion fruit together, it’s worth it. If you just want a doughnut, the classics remain the smarter buy.
Head to head
How It Stacks Up Against Every Other Greggs Doughnut
Putting price and calories side by side tells a clearer story than either number on its own. Here’s the full 2026 doughnut counter, cheapest to priciest:
| Doughnut | Price | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jam Doughnut | £1.15 | 76g | 236 kcal |
| Glazed Ring Doughnut | £1.20 | 58g | 201 kcal |
| Sugar Strand Doughnut | £1.40 | 59g | 224 kcal |
| Caramel Custard Doughnut | £1.40 | 97g | 276 kcal |
| Pink Jammie Doughnut | £1.50 | 88g | 309 kcal |
| Triple Chocolate Doughnut | £1.50 | 85g | 325 kcal |
| Pumpkin Spice Doughnut | £1.50 | 95g | 334 kcal |
| Mango & Passion Fruit Doughnut | £1.70 | 72g | 266 kcal |
Prices and calories per Greggs Doughnuts Price 2026 and Greggs’ official nutrition data; Mango & Passion Fruit price per independent UK price trackers, 2026. Figures can vary by branch.
The standout: it’s the most expensive doughnut in the range by 20p, yet it isn’t even the most calorific one, that’s the Pumpkin Spice at 334 kcal. If low calories matter more to you than tropical flavour, the Glazed Ring at 201 kcal is still the lightest option on the counter.
Why now
Why Mango & Passion Fruit? The Flavour Behind the Flavour
Greggs didn’t pick this combination by accident. Mango has been one of the fastest-growing fruit flavours in UK food and drink through 2026, and flavour-trend analysts at Tastewise have tracked the mango ingredient growing by more than 12% year-on-year in the bubble tea category alone, with the mango-passion fruit pairing specifically holding a notable share of menu listings among UK food operators. Tropical, fruit-forward flavours have shown up everywhere this year, from Fanta’s mango launch to mango-led specials at UK coffee chains.
It fits a wider pattern: British menus have leaned hard into tropical and “swicy” (sweet-and-spicy) fruit flavours for summer 2026, and a mango and passion fruit doughnut is a fairly natural way for a bakery chain to ride that wave without straying too far from a format everyone already knows.
Random but true
Odd Fact: Is a Doughnut Even Taxed Like a Cake?
Here’s a genuinely strange bit of UK tax trivia. Under HMRC’s food rules, most traditional bakery items like bread, cakes and plain biscuits are zero-rated for VAT, while “confectionery”, broadly, sweetened food normally eaten with the fingers, is taxed at the standard 20% rate. That’s the same rule that produced the famous Jaffa Cake tribunal, where McVitie’s successfully argued its Jaffa Cakes were cakes, not chocolate biscuits.
So where does a doughnut land? Tax advisers generally treat doughnuts as cakes, meaning zero-rated, since they’re a traditional bakery product rather than a confectionery item like a chocolate bar. There’s no famous doughnut tribunal to settle it definitively the way there was for Jaffa Cakes, but the general consensus among accountants is that your Greggs doughnut isn’t carrying a VAT premium. You can read HMRC’s own rules in Food products (VAT Notice 701/14) on GOV.UK if you fancy the full legal detail.

Ways to Get It Cheaper (or Free)
Sweet treats are some of the most commonly “unlocked” free items across Greggs’ various deals and partner schemes, so it’s worth checking before you pay full price:
- Monzo Perks — a free weekly treat that can include a doughnut, sausage roll, hot drink or muffin.
- Student Beans discount — buy a cold sandwich deal and add most sweet treats, doughnuts included, for free.
- O2 Priority — occasionally rotates in a free or discounted item, worth a weekly check.
- Too Good To Go — end-of-day surprise bags from participating stores regularly include doughnuts that would otherwise go to waste.
- Greggs Meal Deals — several deals let you add a sweet treat without paying full price on top.

That works out to 369 kcal per 100g, which sits roughly in the middle of the Greggs doughnut range.

No to both. It’s fine for vegetarians, but it isn’t vegan because it contains milk, and it isn’t gluten-free because it contains wheat. It also contains soya. Always check Greggs’ current allergen guide before ordering if you have a food allergy or intolerance, since recipes can change.
Bottom line
Final Verdict: Worth the Money?
If you like mango and passion fruit, this is a genuinely well-made seasonal doughnut, and at 266 kcal it’s not even the heaviest option on the counter. Just go in knowing it’s the priciest doughnut Greggs sells right now, up 30p since its May launch, so it’s more of a treat-the-treat than an everyday grab. I’d order it again before summer’s out, but I wouldn’t be shocked if the price crept up further, or if it disappeared once the nights draw in.
