    got the mango sago froyo and shared with 2 friends! It was the perfect late night sweet treat and wasn't super sweet. I do wish there was a bit more of the mango sago portion.

    Work catered from here and presentation, taste, and everything was amazing! I love their donuts and it was definitely a hit!

    I walked in on a fairly chilly night. I've seen Bear Donut a lot on social media, especially the owner of the store who also happens to be a dentist. I needed a sweet pick-me-up after missing a train home. While the ice cream flavors looked interesting, I opted for a blue coconut iced matcha latte instead. Aside from the striking visuals, the drink tasted great. There was sweetness from the matcha and the coconut but not super overtly sugary. I also got a box of four donuts. They're a little pricey, but each donut is a pretty hefty ring of chewy glutinous rice flour batter. I had them the following morning, and the donuts still tasted fresh. There was a little bit of oiliness from the frying, but it did not taste off or too greasy. I think this is from the meticulous frying process and good management of the oil. I got the Cookies and Cream, Rose, Lavender, and Pistachios. I loved the Rose and Lavender flavors, especially the lavender which had a solid floral flavor without being perfume-y. I look forward to trying other donuts and sweets from Bear Donut in the future!

    I always love when the inside of a good experience is bright ! Walking into to Bear Donut - the vibe is vibrant and soft on the eyes. You immediately are greeted the magical looking donuts - colorful and appealing. There were so many that I wanted to try but I went with my peanut butter obsession and tried the PB&J culinary dream donut. It was loaded with delicious strawberry jelly and peanut butter. I would say my favorite peanut butter donut in NYC at this point . Airy, sweet, fresh - it checked all the boxes .

    ~*Donut worry, be happy*~ I love me some pastries! I stopped by Bear Donut, a dessert eatery located on 31st Street in the K-town neighborhood of Manhattan. It's an adorable shop with an interior that is reminiscent of a retro donut pub - a blue & white color scheme, white tile walls, marble counters, neon signs, mosaic flooring, etc. There's two small benches for eating in, but this is more of a grab-and-go spot. The display cases are filled with vibrant, colorful, and decorative donuts that are hand-dipped and topped with drizzles, glazes, and specialty toppings. Everything is freshly baked daily! Many of the flavors are Asian-inspired with Korean flair. They're known for... *Mochinuts - a donut in the shape of 8 connected dough balls in a ring with a crispy exterior and chewy interior made from sticky rice flour(mochi) *Brionuts - a cream-filled donut made with a higher content of butter & eggs, resulting in a softer, fluffier, and more buttery texture that's similar to French brioche bread In addition to donuts, they offer a variety of other sweet treats and drinks to satisfy your cravings - ice cream, soft serve, sundaes, matcha, tea, coffee, dessert lattes, hot chocolate, and more. Like the donuts, many of the flavors are Asian-inspired. The staff was friendly and helpful. I ordered two brionuts: *Double Milk Tea $5 - If you love a classic bubble tea, then this flavor is for you! The cream filling tasted EXACTLY like a black milk tea with tapioca pearls. The tea flavor was strong and full-bodied, but not too bitter. The bakers nailed this! *Strawberry Milk $6 - Not my favorite out of the two, but still enjoyable. After trying the milk tea flavor, this paled in comparison. The filling didn't have an intense strawberry flavor. I expected it to be more pronounced and tart. It was on the sweeter side and maybe tasted a bit artificial? The freeze dried strawberry topping and powdered sugar were nice touches. The dough was pillowy, airy, and filled with generous amounts of cream. I didn't really taste a strong butter or egg flavor from the bread. The fillings are fluffy and soft with a texture similar to whipped cream. They don't use custards, jams, or compotes - you might consider this a good thing because they would be a lot sweeter if they did! Overall, the brionuts weren't overly sweet or dense. The portion size was just right. So it's the perfect treat to have if you don't want to feel a heavy sugar rush. I definitely need to try more flavors! I wish I got a mochinut, but I'll save that for my future visits ;) They're opening a location in Englewood, NJ this month -- I cannot wait!!!

    Went to bear donut for the first time and the woman behind the counter was so great by explaining the donuts to me! I got a 4 box of donuts and they were absolutely delicious! They were all extremely fresh and I ate them the next day and they were delish too!!! Will have to go back to try their ice cream! Flavors were super unique too!!

    I tried the ube matcha and the banana donut, the matcha was nice not much ube taste but it was still good and the donut was delicious loved the flavor and definitely want to try some other flavors. The service was friendly and quick only one other person ahead of me. They have ice cream and lemonade. Not much seating in the shop.

    I've been to Bear Donut several times and would say that this is a pretty solid place. I personally think their cream-filled brioche donuts are one of the best since the cream filling is light and not too sweet. I haven't tried their mochi donuts, maybe someday! May 2022 visit: I got their thai tea soft serve and it was decent! Not much thai tea flavor going on but it was refreshing and satisfied my sweet craving. July 2022 visit: This time, I got their matcha brionut and it was soooo good. There's definitely a lot of filling inside so be prepared to have a napkin in hand to wipe your mouth lol. December 2022 visit: For this visit, I got their peanut butter and jelly brionut and dirty choco brionut. I enjoyed the peanut butter and jelly brionut more since the flavors were more interesting and unique compared to just a simple chocolate filled donut. July 2024: I don't remember the exact name of this flavor but I think it was a blueberry cream cheese brionut. This was way too sweet, I couldn't even finish it, and that is why I have to give this place four stars instead of five. I would love to try their double milk tea brionut someday though since I feel like it would be similar to the matcha brionut I had back in May 2022.

    Finally made it out here and honestly people need to be talking about them more for their mochi donuts! i got the espresso toffee one which had a really nice crunch as the topping and the coffee flavor was nice and bold and overall it was definitely on the sweeter side, though the texture of the donut was sooooo nice and chewy, and not too sticky/made your teeth feel sticky either. Definitely one of the best mochi donuts in the city. It's a shame they're a little out of the way in Ktown but i'm glad they're still open after several years of knowing about them and I hope they continue to stay open for a long time. Please show them some love, their mochi donuts are excellent, and best in the Ktown area for sure! They also have some other items as well including drinks and other dessert options so check those out too!

    Pretty good donuts. Really liked the coconut mochi donut. The Dubai crunchy cookie thing was a mochi filled with Dubai chocolate. It was good but pretty dense. Maybe the strawberry one would have felt lighter. Would recommend the mochi donuts.

    Matcha Latte
    Linh N.

    Wanted to see what the hype was about for these donuts! They have a pretty large selection of donuts to choose from. I was surprised about the texture. It's not your traditional donuts. It has tapioca flour inside which makes it chewy, like mochi. They also have a lot of variations of matcha! If you like matcha, come check this place out. The inside is very small like your typical donut shop. The staff are attentive and quick, just what you need for the morning rush before work!

    Strawberry Lavender Latte
    Connie L.

    Bear Donut is an adorable shop! Their mochi donuts definitely catch your eye with how beautifully decorated they are. I went with their pink chocolate donut (so pretty!) and it was texturally light & chewy. Really enjoyed it. Drinks were quite lackluster though. The seasonal Strawberry Lavender Latte's flavoring tasted way too artificial unfortunately. Next time, I would definitely try more of their donuts, but would pass on the drinks.

    The CUTEST sweets shop I've been to in a while. I love the interior design. The concept is straightforward, modern and light without being overwhelming. I'm usually not a fan of donuts for breakfast, especially flavor filled ones as they tend to be too sweet. However, what I will say is the strawberry milk donut is on the milder side of the sweetness scale. I think it helps that the filling is whipped cream rather than icing or custard, really cutting that sweetness. The donut itself is airy, fruit topping was nice and fresh & overall was the perfect size portion wise. Bear Donut overall exceeded any expectations I could've had for a sweets and coffee shop. The prioritization of cleanliness and customer satisfaction/service is evident when you walk in to Bear Donut, so is a place I certainly recommend anyone visit. If I lived in NYC I would definitely be a regular here.

    So after having lunch in New York's Chinatown and taking a stroll through little Italy, we took a…read moresubway ride to New York's K-Town or aka as Korea Town. Upon arrival we noticed the difference in crowds. Not as busy and packed sidewalks. Also it was a lot cleaner than Chinatown. Since we just ate at C-Town, it was time to find a good dessert place in K-Town. So we walked and we walked until I saw a banner sign showing shaved ice desserts. Then I noticed the name of the business is Grace Street. How fitting, because that is my wife's name. So we went in and what caught my eye was a mango shaved ice with mangoes, mochi, strawberries, and condensed milk, however I was over ruled by my wife and we went with the black sesame and mochi and condensed milk. It also had red bean, but that had to be on the side, since that gives me gout. Such nice staff taking orders and we went into the dining area to find a seat. What a large spacious area with many tables. Our order came out and it looked so good. The black sesame shaved ice or snow as it's also referred to as, was perfectly sweetened by the condensed milk and the chewy mochi. Definitely cleaned my pallet from our Chinese lunch and it helped cool me down from the New York heat. We got water, but there was no ice offered, so I asked one of the workers and he was kind enough to get me some. We are through that dessert like, if we didn't finish it fast, it was going to melt. We did not give it a chance to melt one bit. The staff here are efficient, as they saw we were done, they asked to clear our dessert bowl away. It was a nice experience even if it was just dessert. They definitely had more dessert options to offer, but i

Overall, a great casual dessert stop after exploring K-Town, Midtown or nearby Chelsea.

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.
