    Iranian Love, Dulce de Leche, Guava Cheese, Milk & Cookies, and Miso Ringo Doughnuts
    Joanna M.

    The last time I sang praises for a 'donut' was Dominique Ansel's limited time raspberry pandan cronut, which isn't 'technically' a donut. But Fan-Fan won my heart with their beautifully decorated, not-so-sweet, and soft donuts. Not to mention, the ladies working at Fan-Fan are the sweetest rays of sunshine. My partner and I got half a dozen donuts, big donuts, for the great price of 4-5 dollars each. These aren't a rip off like the tiny Daily Provision crullers, or diabetes bombs like Krispy Kreme. Fan-fan donuts are all mildly sweet, with fresh fluffy dough, and delicious cream. The guava and cheese and dulce de leche donuts are must orders. The seasonal apple miso paired with an oolong tea is divine. The chocolate and churro donut features a rich dark chocolate and crispy churro that's perfect with coffee. If donut shops could learn to cut down on the sugar and balance out their flavors with a little salt, we would all be in a better place. That's what makes Fan-Fan a sanctuary for people like me. Decadence without the guilt.

    I came mainly because of the mango lassi doughnut and left disappointed (note to self: do not high expectations). The mango lassi doughnut was meh, nothing impressive and it felt like it was sitting there for a while. Doughnuts looked pretty but did not taste as expected. They do have a large variety of creative flavor combinations if you want to try unique doughnuts.

    Went to try this donut place.. got the white coffee and Iranian love donut... pretty good & fluffy donut.. not the best one that I had but is still pretty good donut ..

    Special donut 4.50- roasted green tea and dark chocolate on top

    Donuts here are dense and hold their shape well even with the toppings. The spongy softness of the donut returns to form after each bite. I got this special donut that was topped with dark chocolate and roasted green tea (though I did not taste any hints of it). The topping is airy and light and just sweet enough. The donuts here will be a hit for anyone who is looking for flavors in the diasporas: mango lassi, guava and cheese, chocolate glazed with cute mini churros on top. That's certainly what drew me in. No seating except one slender outdoor bench, so everything needs to be taken to go.

    I've been wanting to try Fan-Fan for ages, so thrilled I finally had the chance, they definitely lived up to ALL of the hype! I was able to preorder the donuts I wanted for pickup on their website online, and it was the very end of AAPI month, so I even got to try one of their special collab donuts the Pandan Coconut, so good! Once I arrived, I received a warm welcome, and picking up my pre order was so quick and easy. The shop was bright, open, clean, and the display with all of their current flavors had my mouth watering! Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the flavors but my two standout flavors were the La Donna (black currant & raspberry glaze with baked meringue) and the Mango Lassi (with mango cardamom glaze and a yogurt glaze drizzle and pistachio). Truly, I could probably eat those two every single day and never get tired of the flavors. Do yourself a favor and RUN there, their standard flavors are delicious but keep an eye out for their special flavors as well.

    Saw this place on TV a few weeks before my trip to NYC and told myself I've got to try this place. Went out of my way to Brooklyn in the morning just for this. We were greeted warmly as we went into the shop. They do not have seats for customers inside. The doughnut flavors are unique. Guava and cheese was my favorite. Very soft with delicately balanced contrasting sweetness from guava and saltiness from cream cheese. Delicious. La Donna was a raspberry black currant glazed doughnut. It was good too. I wanted to try the mango lassi donut but it was not available at that time. One of the best doughnuts I ever had. Definitely worth the visit.

    About a 1-1.5: Fan-Fan Doughnuts is a super popular 'artisanal handmade doughnut' shop that makes their items on-site in small batches. We ordered half a dozen of: +La Donna - topped with a black currant & raspberry glazed and a baked meringue (with dried corn flower petals) +a Classic Glaze - made with vanilla extract from Mexico +a Mango Lassi donut +a Chick donut - an Easter special; passion fruit flavored +an egg-shaped donut - an Easter special; topped with a pomegranate glaze and homemade sprinkles, filled with vanilla diplomat cream +and, a Caramelized Apple Bun The donuts looked aesthetically pleasing, but they didn't taste fresh - honestly, they seemed like it was sitting out for a while or were at least a day old. They were not even warm at all, which was also super disappointing. Staff could have been friendlier; make sure you know what you want to order, as the lines are long, and the staff can become impatient. Super overhyped! +not-so-fresh donuts +not-so-friendly staff +long lines

    I'm picky when it comes to doughnuts=donuts. Is there a right way to spell this? Back to the point, very picky. I want to try them all, especially the unique flavors. Which was why I couldn't wait to come here! I was hoping to like these more. With all the great reviews, background story, I couldn't wait to try. I would say they were just okay. The raspberry lemongrass, was lacking in lemongrass flavor completely. The raspberry was present, but just as a topping it didn't really give me a raspberry donut experience. I asked for an 'old fashioned' or plain, and the kind lady gave me one from the back, an untouched one, the base donut. Again, just okay. It was a pretty bland yeasty donut. Went well with my coffee. Love the vibe and the service was great.

    Saw on ABC news mentioning it's a Michelin star runner up so I had to try it out. This donut shop is small with no seating. They serve the same donut base but with some amazing toppings. Keep in mind that they are pricey but still I wanted to try it out (at least once). I ordered a dozen assorted donuts. Not every donut was labeled. They set it out on a wooden platform so you basically point and choose. See pictures. Their toppings are generous and unique. The few that I remember the names of were: white coffee, churro chocolate, passion mango, yuzu, pistachio, cardamom, guava cheese, mango lassi, raspberry black currant and honey glaze. In conclusion the donuts were flavorful and unique. Glad I got to try them. I would say this is something that would be a great treat to bring to someone's party or for a holiday. Great conversation piece. They do have a frequent buyer card where you stamp it every visit and after 10 visits, you get a half dozen free...worth the visit if you live nearby and can afford it! Staff is very friendly.

    The Iranian Love ( cream cheese frosting, rose petals and pistachios) and Milk and Cookies (maria cookie milk frosting).
    Brandon G.

    I saw this place was a runner-up in the Michelin Guide and had been meaning to check it out. I know a few other donut shops occupied this spot before Fan-Fan moved in, but if my experience is any indication, this one's here to stay. I couldn't choose between the enormous variety, and the cashier was very kind and patient, letting me take my time, even allowing a few people in front of me while I made a decision. I eventually went with the Iranian Love and Milk and Cookies. The former is cream cheese frosting, rose petals, and pistachios; the latter is Maria cookie milk frosting with a chocolate chip cookie topping. I was told Iranian Love is a fan favorite, and I can absolutely see why. Both of the donuts were immaculate: made to perfection and full of care. Definitely need to come back and try more.

    Tried it for the first time today while passing thru Bklyn. They were delicious and sooo good! Really really wish they had more locations. Hopefully in Flushing, Queens.

    I'm not sure how I've never gotten around to reviewing Fan Fan, which I think along with By Kora is serving up some of the most cutting-edge donuts and donut-adjacent sweets in the city. On this occasion, I opted for the decadent oblong eclair-esque guava cheese variety, which officially replaces Panaderia Rosetta's famous brioche as my favorite dessert employing this classic duo.

    The donuts were delicious and warm! The cashier was super sweet and helpful with displaying the signature donuts. I enjoyed it even on a hot day and cod taste the authenticity!

    Classics in the front row. Specials in the back.

Only critique, the cream and the jelly were a little chemically tasting than we prefer.

The blueberry buttermilk, the apple fritter and apple pie donuts are also must gets if you like cakier donuts! We also got the sour cream and chocolate glazed donuts but they were just ok. Chocolate could have been a little chocolatier. All in all, really enjoyed but if House of Donuts was 5 stars, this would probably be 4.5 stars, which is still great!

On this visit, I called ahead and asked for salt, pepper, ketchup, but it didn't seem like they added it to my sandwich, unfortunately. This spot even has burgers, chicken sandwiches, TACOSS, and literally any diner-esque dishes you're craving. No-frills spot.
