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. read more

Doughnut Plant - Donuts Near Me - New York, New York

This place is definitely a NYC staple. I feel like there's one on every corner at this point. Since New York doesn't really have a ton of mom-and-pop donut shops, most people end up here or Dunkin'. If you want something a little more unique than Dunkin' or Krispy Kreme, this is the spot. The only thing holding me back from giving it 5 stars is the price. A couple donuts and suddenly you're spending way more than you planned. That said, the donuts are massive. You can easily split one with someone or save half for later. They also do some pretty fun seasonal flavors, especially around the holidays, so there's usually something new to try whenever you stop by. read more

Doughnut Plant - VANILLA BEAN - Donuts Near Me - New York, New York

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! read more

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. read more

Doughnut Plant - ICED LATTE - Donuts Near Me - New York, New York

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 ! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Can't go wrong it's a place that has specialty donuts that are delicious. My wife and I had the pistachio and the crème brûlée. Sugar dough!!!!!!!! Last time we ate here it was in 2007. ( we moved out) I'm amazed that they're still around. Congratulations to them! read more

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 read more

Of all the artisan donut places in New York, I think donut plant might be my second favorite spot. They've got a nice array of donuts that they seem to change around seasonly as well as decor that seems to change seasonly also. On a recent visit to the Lower East Side Donut Plant, I reserved my snowman Donut and coffee cake donut as I had previously encountered issues with shortages on what I wanted due to the timing of when I had stopped by a particular donut. The coffee cake donut was tasty and very moist. I would recommend. The snowman donut to my surprise was not made with coconut as it was in the previous holiday season but with white chocolate. I then remembered that unlike other donut spots, Donut Plant changes up their donuts from time to time. The service was quick and friendly. read more

Once you go to Doughnut Plant, you cannot go back to any other donut places. I have been coming here for almost a decade now; it is that good. My go-to is their Tres Leches cake doughnut, sometimes I'd go for a Carrot cake, and definitely a Matcha one if they haven't run out. It might land on the sweeter side, but it is nothing comparing to Dunkin Donut. We are talking about a decadent treat after all, treat yourself once in a while! read more

Not the best donut that I've ever had and they were quite price - my vanilla donut was $5. I think they're also known for coffee and other drinks so it may be more than just a donut shop read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!! First and foremost, I had the pleasure of coming here and meeting Sha the manager and she was truly the best. She provided her recommendations and bared with my group as we debated what donuts. I got several donuts but the winner is the carrot cake donut!!!!! HOLY GRAIL OF DONUTS, recommended by Sha. I literally ordered the creme brulee, the blueberry, the vanilla, tres leches and coffee cake but had to get the carrot cake after her recommendation and I AM GRATEFUL. It was delicious. The location is super clean and you can see the kitchen which I always appreciate. If you are in the area, STOP HERE AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Mind you, I am not a super fan of donuts but now!?!? I will go here whenever I am in the area and cannot wait to try more flavors! read more

Read the rave review for this doughnut so I decided to try it. Lots of flavors were still available although I was there late night (after dinner). Brooklyn black out: the doughnut was very dense and it was more like a chocolate cake. It tasted good: just enough chocolate, the dough itself was not too sweet & lots of cookie crumbles on top. Dense doughnut is not my cup of tea but it was a good doughnut read more

Stopped in for a doughnut while perusing the city. They had a decent selection of doughnuts. I got a blood orange glazed doughnut. It was passable. It was pretty thick, I was hoping for a lighter doughnut. This was more of a cake doughnut. I also wish it were served warm. Nonetheless, not a super long review given I only got 1 doughnut. The blood orange had a nice sweet, citrus flavor unique to blood orange and it did not over power the doughnut. A good spot to grab a decent doughnut. You won't be blown away, nor will you be disappointed. The pride doughnut looked nice as well. read more

Delicious donuts with a nice but not too crazy menu of choices. Fast and friendly service, but small, so not too many places to sit. Tres Leches, Coconut Cream and Black and White were all very good. The Tres Leches donut was a standout with a creamy flavor and very moist center, which is not always the case for a cake donut. Washing that down was a Tres Laches iced latte...would that be "Seis Leches"? read more

I remember first coming to Doughnut Plant in 2008 when it was still relatively new. It's incredible to see how they've become basically a New York institution at this point. My fiance and I were in Chinatown this weekend and we took a short walk over to get a dessert for the road. He's not from NYC so he'd never heard of Doughnut plant before. It was fun showing him all the different flavors. Their menu is seasonal so they have some flavors that they sell year around like the wild blueberry, but others are only around for a limited time like the coconut snowman my fiance ordered (not pictured). I ordered a peanut butter and blackberry jam doughnut. I adore peanut butter so I knew I'd love that part. What I was less sure about was the jam filling. I don't usually like stuffed doughnuts because I find most tend to be overstuffed, messy and overwhelming but this was good. It wasn't too much and it tasted like I was having a pb&j sandwich almost but better. I do the prices are a bit high to make these a regular indulgence, but they're not much different from other artisanal doughnut shops. If you have a particular flavor in mind you want to try, I recommend coming in early as items do tend to sell out. The good thing is that they do update availability in real time on their website, which can save an unnecessary trip to the store. You can also call ahead before you visit. The shop is small so it isn't somewhere you can really stay to enjoy your doughnuts but they do delivery if pickup isn't available to you. read more

I first saw the donut plant on the Food Network years and years ago. There was a show called "the best thing I ever ate "that I used to love to watch and there was an episode with the donut plant on it. For years, I have thought about these donuts and have wanted to try them. Recently, we were in Manhattan for a few days and had a packed schedule visiting many restaurants. One evening we were looking for something sweet and we saw that the donut plant was still open so we took an Uber over and grabbed a box of donuts. It was the end of the day so understandably it was slim pickings in terms of flavor options. But we were able to get a vanilla bean donut, a blueberry donut, and an assortment of other flavors. I think we were even able to get a Tres leches donut. It looked as if there were maybe one or two people working there, but the guy behind the counter was super friendly. He gave us good recommendations and let us know that the donuts were made fresh just a few minutes earlier. We sat in the location and scarfed the donuts and they were actually so delicious. Even though some of the flavors I wanted to try weren't available, the ones that we were able to try were very good. We will definitely be going back the next time we're in New York City read more

Doughnut Plant is amazing and their wild blueberry cake doughnut is the BEST. It's so flavorful and has a thick but moist inside and a sweet and soft outside.

Through the years this donut shop has closed some of their locations as business has slowed down. You would think the remaining locations would at least provide good customer service to avoid further closure. Not at this location. I came in with a cheerful attitude and the staff returned it with a sarcastic attitude. I guess they want rude customers more than the nice customers. Not everyone finds everything funny nowadays especially if it's at the expense of the customer. I wouldn't be surprised if this donut chain closed down completely in the future. The customer service is nothing to come back for. read more

Open on a holiday, this doughnut shop had a fantastic variety of flavors and textures available. And yet, I went for a simple chocolate and was not disappointed. It was vegan, but if you ate it not knowing that thought would never cross your mind, as it was light and fluffy and the icing was plentiful and rich. A sourdough flavor, it was delightfully complex. I don't know that I've ever had a better vegan doughnut. They were out of chai and out of another seasonal beverage option, which I forgive them for given the holiday weekend. The horchata I ended up with as a last resort was nonetheless nuanced in flavor and not a disappointment. I wish I had room to try everything. read more

My favorite donut place in Manhattan, by far. Donuts have been a childhood favorite of mine from as early as I can remember and decent donuts have come and go in the city. While competitors like dough have popped up, the lack of consistency and decline in quality keeps me coming back to doughnut plant. The vegan sourdough donuts are to DIE for, and I was CRUSHED when they closed down the west village location. Still making my way downtown every now and then all the way from Upper east to get one for myself and another for my daughter. Love the staff too, who are always genuinely kind and helpful. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for prob a decade now, finally can check it off the list. For one I got this delivered so I can't talk about ambiance and the particulars, I'll just cut to the chase what I ordered. Creme brûlée: 4 Brooklyn blackout: 5 Pb&j: 3 Vanilla bean & jam: 2 I've had some life changing donuts, so I would think I have high standards, that being said the Brooklyn blackout would hit my top 5 all time donut list in an instance, I loved everything about that donut, give me a dozen now! Sadly after eating that one donut all the rest just couldn't compare, with the exception of the Crème Brûlée! It was good but I think my top was a little too burnt, it was kind of an unpleasant bitter after taste towards the end but it was still fire! I didn't really care for the other yeast donuts as much, and for the price point I definitely felt it wasn't worth it. The jams inside the donuts were good but the donut itself was meh... I'd try every donut on the menu here still, Just off the strength! Will update! read more

Wow, this place is probably one of the best donut places I have ever been to. The selection is out of this world. We tried the strawberry glazed donut the signature crème brûlée the vanilla bean, glazed donut, and the holiday Hanukkah doughnut. All of them were simply divine. We also had an iced and a hot vanilla latte. The lattes were made with fresh vanilla beans and were absolutely delicious and very smooth. Can I wait to go back to try. The atmosphere is super chill and cozy. read more
