    YUMMM! But this is not accurate of what is in-stock
    Katie N.

    Absolutely incredible donuts! They sell out of a lot of flavors, so get there early! They are very dense, and flavorful! My favorites were strawberry, carrot cake, and coffee cake. The coffee cake was insane- like it was coffee infused or something. The prices aren't crazy for the high quality. Definitely make a stop on here!

    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.

    ICED LATTE

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    I can't believe this place is still at this location! I've been going here since my college days. I randomly passed it on a Saturday and of course had to stop in. The doughnuts are still so good. I was sad my favorite was sold out "crème brûlée" but the apple pie a la mode was really good, so fresh and delicious. Many flavors were sold out but I did also pop in late. Service was friendly and quick with space for my friends and I to consumer our donuts on a table. I wish there was a location on LI

    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?

    Definitely. The cake donuts will last better, they are still moist the next day. I typically bring ziploc bags to help maintain the freshness longer.

    I'm kinda a cake person... would you go as far to say this is better than cake?

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

    Yes! All of our doughnuts are vegetarian and eggless, and we have two vegan doughnuts: Chocolate Chocolate and Banana. (Gluten free is coming soon!)

    Do they have the orange flavored/rose shaped ones at this location?

But I had a craving one morning for some sugar and 'Dough' was on my way. I walked in and realized one of their donuts was going to at least spread out for over 2 days for me. The flavors looked so delicious. I decided to go for 'Toasted Coconut'. Amazing nutmeg-y finish and I have to say I love the yeastiness of the donut - did not feel like straight up sugar, but felt like a complex cake/bread - the sourness did come through. The donut has body and texture. My donut world has changed from now on. If I encounter donut people, I will definitely recommend this place. And maybe next year try one of their other amazing flavors. It did cost me $6.80 but I'm telling you these are gigantic - one for 2 people I'd say. The place is simple, cute and clean - standard NYC modern shop. So not much to report here.

Just so you know, I don't have any pictures of it because I ate it immediately! Don't judge me. 5/5 I also had the strawberry shortcake. Very fresh, nice texture, soft throughout. I reminded me of a strawberry crunch cake without the cake taste. I like donuts to taste like donuts despite the name and flavors. 5/5 I swear y'all I wanted the blueberry lemon with the oat crumble, but I had to get outta there before I ate another thing. I promised myself I would get it when I came back! Dough has delicious donuts that are thoughtfully crafted. Check them out. They have SIX locations throughout New York. Til we eat again....

    Hot tip: Place an online order for pick up. Less lines, faster service…read more Of course after doing my typical research on Yelp for places to visit while in NY recently, I came across Peter Pan. That quickly went in the list of places I had to go to. I'm so glad I did. I went on a Sunday around 10:30am. There was definitely a crowd but it was minimal and organized chaos in a way. I did get the chocolate cake and original glazed with a sugar rise and a few donut holes. Everything was great. I could taste a little oil from being fried, but that's just my preference. Some people are ok with that. But let's talk about that sugar rise donut! Sugar rise was my favorite! When I bite into any donut covered in granulated sugar it better coat my lips like my chapstick. That sugar just sat on my lips as if it was just meant to be there. The staff were amazing. They were working hard getting orders taken and putting orders out. The interior was quaint and clean. Bottled water for $1 is a major win in my book! So thank you for that. Seating is limited. It's tiny in there. Great spot! Hit them up!

The shop has a retro vibe reminiscent of a 1950s diner, offering a wide range of pastries, sandwiches, and breakfast options, making it a beloved local fixture for over 60 years. During a visit to Greenpoint, Brooklyn, I decided to explore the local food scene. As I researched, this donut shop kept coming up as a top favorite among locals. My daughter and I stepped inside, and it was buzzing with activity. The place had a nostalgic feel, and it's a cash-only establishment. There are so many donuts to choose from, but my daughter went with a Red Velvet, while I opted for a Sugar Raise--a classic sugar donut because it was my first time here and I wanted something simple. The donuts were decent. The Sugar Raise wasn't extraordinary, but it was fresh. I gave my daughter's Red Velvet a try, but it didn't quite hit the mark; instead of a subtle cocoa-vanilla flavor, it was pretty heavy on the chocolate. The service was friendly, and I'm glad we took the chance to visit this longstanding bakery, which has been around for more than six decades.
