    This might be the best cake doughnut I've had. Very fine texture in the doughnut and the Tres leches and Brooklyn blackout are insane. To great little vibe for a donut shop. Definitely worth dropping by to sample a few options.

    VALRHONA HOT CHOCOLATE
    Christine L.

    Popped in for a snack and it didnt disappoint. Got the Wild Raspberry & Pistachio along with a hot chocolate. The hot chocolate had such a pretty design and was so tasty. Dark and creamy and just the right temperature. Donuts were good, raspberry was on the sweet side but still good. Haven't tried the pistachio but glad I chose it. Both weren't too heavy. Seasonal flavors rotate as well. Current one is Meyer lemon. It was tempting, but so are all the other flavors. Service was quick. There are about 8-10 seats and cutesy donut decor!

    I'm honestly upset with myself that it took me this long to try this place out. We tried 4 donuts and they were all super delicious - most importantly to me as someone who tries to minimize dairy, you couldn't tell at all their vegan donuts were vegan! The staff were so helpful and patient as we were choosing between all their amazing flavour options. I didn't personally get anything to drink this time, but I'll definitely be back to try more donuts and maybe that chai as well.

    ICED LATTE
    Kiyauna M.

    Stopped here during a food tour...and for a person who doesn't like sweets, I'm glad we did! I had a matcha latte and an iced latte (that the staff was happy to split for me and a friend to enjoy) while visiting and we got to try a few of their doughnuts. But the vanilla bean & jam doughnut completely changed my mind about a "jelly doughnut". It was the perfect balance for me. I didn't hesitate to text my husband that we have to come here on our next visit, so he can try it as well.

    Brooklyn Blackout

    Chocolate toppings and innards for the Brooklyn donut. Delectable! $5.50 for a donut is steep but super good. Quick service. Friendly cashiers.

    I'm Not sure why we ended up having donuts so many times while In NYC this time around but I'm definitely not mad about it. Doughnut plant came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. The guys at the counter were super friendly and gave some great recommendations. We came at a time when it wasn't particularly crowded so we enjoyed our treats inside at their don't shaped table tops. Side note - the milk is out of this world !

    Lovely fast paced doughnut shop in the lower east side side by Seward park! Basically a neighborhood staple at this point. They always have an abundance of interesting flavors along with new flavors throughout the year. Nice & fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. I had the hazelnut pistachio & the tiramisu doughnuts and they were both great and tasted exactly what they sounded like lol. Will definitely be back to try new flavors.

    I ordered from this place and I liked it. In support of the Champs, the New York Knicks, I ordered the orange and blue donut. It was flavorful, however it was a bit too sugary. I had the med ice latte too which was a nice complimentary partner to the donut. The service was fast which is a positive and the atmosphere id say is modern and has its character. I can see myself coming back for some donuts, that's if I'm around the area.

    I am not a big doughnut person. I rarely eat them. But when I do, my preference is to grab a Coconut Cream yeast doughnut from this original location of DP. For a change up, I would do the Wild Blueberry cake doughnut instead. I also think the Summer Peach and Crème Brûlée are pretty good. Recently, my friends and I tried a few more flavors. Unfortunately, the Pistachio (cake) and Vanilla Bean (yeast) were not my thing. Black and White (cake) was interesting, but I prefer the chocolate side way more. Next time, I will try their Dark Chocolate.

    What caught my eye was the sign outside of Doughnut Plant that said Tres Leches cold brew. I love tres leches cake a lot and knowing Doughnut Plant has tres leches coffee got me hooked and made me fall in love with the place. I got a large size and it was semi sweet, not so sweet that I will be complaining about catching diabetes. I also got a strawberry shortcake and the icing was really good! It also got 3 slices of strawberry on the icing that were really fresh. I liked how it melt in my mouth. The doughnut was also good and not so crumbly that it made a huge mess. The place looked very cute with all the colorful doughnuts embedded on the cemented bench that went well with the doughnut tables. The bench was pretty tough to sit on since there weren't any cushions. All the decor were shaped of doughnuts. A small and quiet place that people come and go to enjoy doughnuts. These doughnuts are meant to be shared and recommended to not be consumed by one person. Their specialty donuts are very unique like the organic orange and tres leches that make me wanna go get more. Going to get those flavors next time I come.

    We were walking the streets to another destination when we passed by Doughnut Plant. I was craving something sweet so we decided to pop in. I love that there was more than one gluten-free option in addition to the sourdough, cake, and yeast donuts. We opted to try a Marcona almond gluten-free cake donut and a strawberry sourdough per Brad's recommendation. Brad gave super detailed and thorough recommendations! Because the Marcona almond was the last in the pastry cabinet, he threw in a blueberry gluten-free stating that he "doesn't sell display donuts ". We appreciated the generosity! My favorite was actually the blueberry! All the flavors are house made and fresh (strawberries vs strawberry flavoring or syrups) and you could tell!

    I genuinely think this place has the best doughnuts in NYC. I originally discovered them through a food tour of the lower east side and immediately fell in love. I came back here a couple NY trips later and I already want to go back again. It's going to stay in the rotation for sure. They make the donuts fresh throughout the day. Their chocolate donuts are legit so good. Very rich! I also tried the carrot cake donut and it was heavenly. It was filled with cream cheese frosting and it was just so perfect. One of the freshest donuts I've ever had! And they have so many options to choose from. My friend has a dairy allergy and they had options for her which is great.

    The donuts here were neither bad nor great on our 11:30 a.m. visit here. They were ... OK. I can't really talk about the ambiance of this joint, because it's as tight as an elephant in a suitcase. It's definitely clean. Service here is also quick and friendly. The donuts though? Eh. While the recipes seemed spot on, our donuts seemed as if they were made several hours earlier. All three donuts were hard at the base, which made them seem stale. Perhaps this place is five stars at seven in the morning, but the 11:30 version is not a repeat.

    Really good donuts and very unique!! I would recommend the Oreo cookie flavor! It is a bit pricey but I think it's worth it to try

    Ask the Community - Doughnut Plant

    Do you guys have apple cider donuts?

    We make Apple Cinnamon doughnuts, yeast and cake versions. A Doughnut Plant staple since the 1990s, using local apples from the GreenMarket and real cinnamon in the glaze

    Can you order a dozen donuts and how much would it be?

    Yes! Your can order locally on our website if you are within our delivery zone, or nationwide with Goldbelly.com. Price depends on what you order.

    Do you carry the Matcha Donut at this LES Location?

    Every Monday, at all of our NYC locations!

    Are there sugar free or keto options?

    I am not to sure !

    Will the cream inside the crème brulee donut be okay sitting at Room Temp for 24 hours, or should it be refrigerated?

    It has dairy, it should be refrigerated

    Does anyone have the measurements of these donuts? Making a donut wall😘

    Their yeast square donuts average 4-41/2 inches, their cake donuts round average 3-31/2 inches

    Would a box of donuts last an 11 hour flight to Hawai'i?

    Yes, go for the cake donuts and not the yeast donuts. Blueberry cake donut is by far the best!

Stop in for an espresso made with care, or grab a dozen of their flavor-packed cookies for the office, which are sure to impress clients and coworkers alike. I've always been a sucker for their gooey Chocolate Chunk Cookie, but today a coworker brought back the Korn Cookie, and I think I've found my new favorite! Crispy on the outside, simple, buttery and perfectly sugary on the inside. It's the kind of cookie that looks unassuming but delivers BIG on flavor. If you're in Midtown, Culture Espresso is absolutely worth the visit. (Barely remembered to snap a photo of my cookies before they were devoured!)
