First, not permanently closed. I'm eating a bad ass doughnut here right now. Good vibe little spot with delightful, airy, barely-there doughnuts. Literally melts in your mouth. I can only attest to the one I'm eating, right now. Sooo good. They also have a menu with food, didn't try so I can't comment but there a couple of tables in here so you can definitely sit. read more

Fat Doughnut - Maple glazed doughnut and 24 ounce iced coffee - Donuts Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Walked past this cafe while rushing to the bus and made a point to stop in on my way back home. Service was quick, no line, no wait. I got the maple glazed and it was amazing! First of all it's huge! But it's also fluffy, fresh, and sweet. I enjoyed every bite and will definitely be back soon. read more

Fat Doughnut - Maple Glazed - Donuts Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I enjoyed these doughnuts! As others have noted, they were quite large and definitely shareable. The dough was fresh and moist. My favorite flavor was the glazed. The strawberry frosted was okay, but the frosting was a little too sweet. The cinnamon sugar is also worth a try. read more

Fat Doughnut - Cinnamon sugar, strawberry frosted, and glazed - Donuts Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is my sons go to donut shop. We stopped in together and shared a maple glaze donut. YUMMM! It's so rich and delicious, smelled like a pancake. The donut was nice and airy, not dense and doughy. Large enough to share, delicious enough not to want to haha. The staff was pleasant, clean store, They also sell coffee (cafe vibe) and have breakfast sandwiches. I understand why my son loves it. Would go back. So sad, forgot to snap a pic :( read more

Probably my favorite donut I have had in the city. I'm a simple girl when it comes to donuts. Dont need a specialty this or that. Just need a nice pillowy disc of bread covered in sugar. Believe I had the cinnamon sugar and it was great. Donuts are very big but honestly I ate the whole thing in like a minute. Had an oat cap on the side. Coffee was pretty solid too! Service was great here and vibe cozy as well! Happened to be empty in the afternoon so was good to sit by the window and have a little chit chat over a donut and coffee! read more

Fat Doughnut was sooo good!! Picture this. I woke up at 1:30am to get on a plane home to NY at 5am. I dragged myself out of JFK to the airtrain then waited on the morning J for 15 minutes. My blood sugar was dropping, and I had a dire need for something sweet. I planned to stop at a cafe near the Kosciuszko stop, but when I went to open their door it was closed!! As I searched for other coffee spots, I realized how close Fat Doughnut is. With my bags and intense sunburn, I voyaged over and am so glad I did. It's a small shop, and I wish they had labels so I could see which donut is which, but there are still a few tables and spots to sit down inside. I ordered an iced coffee, a maple glazed donut, and a cinnamon roll (I'm not me when my blood sugar is low). The iced coffee was really great, and I didn't have to pay extra for syrup in it. I was shocked and amazed. I paid around $11 for everything, and sometimes you can't get an iced coffee for under $6 in Brooklyn. The maple glazed was so delicious. You can definitely taste a bit of the oil, but I didn't mind at all because for me it seemed so fresh. Really one of the best textures I've had. I went home before having the cinnamon roll as my blood sugar issue was solved. A few hours later, I toasted the cinnamon roll and it was really yummy! Not the best one I've had, but it was pretty solid. I will be back soon! read more

Delicious, delicious, delicious! I ordered to-go and got the Breakfast plate and a bacon maple doughnut. Um yes. Incredibly satisfying! Never quite tasted a doughnut like that. The bacon was real and there was plenty of it. Very generous portion. I loved the pancakes. They were exactly what I've been dreaming of. Fluffy and buttery and none of the chemically after taste that you get from some restaurants. I will be ordering again! Cannot wait to try in person, I bet it's even better IRL :) read more

Tbh I wasn't impressed with their maple donut that was so highly recommended. It was like wet on the inside? Idk. But the flavor was there. Maybe I just got a bad one. I'd be willing to try it again. Also good customer service. read more

The person working said the maple glaze was their favorite donut. Bought one and took it home to eat. I took a bite and thought, hmmm tastes doughy. I looked closer at the donut and realized it was RAW! The glaze was good I guess. read more

Fat Doughnut - Maple glazed - Donuts Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is a gem in the neighborhood. I used to LOVE the breakfast sandwich they used to make and would order every weekend, but they changed it to some brioche bun and I don't love it the same. The donuts are big, soft and sweet, and taste absolutely delicious! I will say, though that the price of their normal food is a little crazy - like $21 for a breakfast platter, that is mediocre at best... not for me. I'll stick to the doughnuts. Thanks for being a neighborhood staple for sweet treats! read more

Amazing Donuts!!! The service was great with lots of syrup options. We ordered the Maple Glaze and Cinnamon Sugar Donuts with a Toasted Marshmallow Latte and Lavender Chai.

3.5. I didn't like the espresso - it had a very strange earthy taste and was made with a different syrup than what I asked for. The donut was large and delicious, definitely the star of the show. However they were out of most options besides glazed at around 10 am, so if you want to try something else I'd get there earlier. My friend had the hash platter and said it was average. They have a few seating options available and free wifi if you plan to read or do some computer work. The service was a bit slow for us being the only people there. read more

This place has been on my radar for a few years now, today I finally was able to step through those doors and bask in their donut glory. I arrived at around 2:15 and made a beeline for their bathroom, clean! Checked out the doughnut options, as others have said they sell out of popular options earlier in the day. Thankfully my tried and true fave, glazed, was well in stock. I snagged one to go and made my way across Brooklyn. After a good 3 mile walk I was able to finally enjoy my pillowy, fluffy, sweet treat. Really solid donut, travels decently! 3.50 for a sizable donut, we'll worth it imo. read more

I came by last weekend after running errands and there was a line but it went quickly. They were already out of a few donuts at 11:00am but still had a good selection. I ordered the chocolate and glazed donut along with the breakfast platter to go. It took maybe 10 minutes for the food so I ate a donut and coffee. They have a smaller space but do a lot with seating. A group of 4 would fit along the window or by combining two tables together. The donuts were fairly large and delicious but my three star rating is due to the breakfast platter. I ordered it to go so wasn't expecting nice presentation but everything was wayyyyyy overacted. The platter comes with two hash browns and I wasn't able to eat either of then they were so salted. The eggs were also over salted and they only provide one piece of bacon cut up. The donuts and coffee were great but that's likely all I'd return for. read more

Fat Doughnut - Oreo Cookie Donut - Donuts Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

One of those times I was craving sweets and stumbled upon the closest donut shop. I didn't realize they were popular until I ordered and the man behind the counter was apologizing for not having a chocolate sprinkled donut. He told me it would be ready in a few minutes. As I waited I realized they were super low on donuts. On display there were only 3 donuts. When I received my donut I overheard he was also out of chips that went with their sandwiches. When I asked if it was a busy day he said some days it is quiet and that day it was just hectic. I liked his customer service. The donut was HUGE which I appreciated since it was almost $5. However, it wasn't anything to rave about. I'd still come back if in the area just because the customer service was great. read more

This has to be the best damn donut in the city -- super fresh, super soft, super tasty. The staff are friendly and professional. The place is clean, welcoming, comfortable tables, chairs, bright, airy. The tunes on the airwaves are totally righteous and at a perfect level for enjoyment while not being intrusive. Here you cannot go wrong. read more

Sure, my wife has loved* me for over a decade, improved my life in thousands of ways, and given birth to a baby girl who lights up my world. But I don't think I've ever adored her more than when she brought me one of these big, beautiful doughnuts. (Because my priorities are entirely out of whack.) I wasn't ready for this jelly. Oozing with real strawberries, it was fresh and tasty and a steal at $3. Now that I'm hooked, I think I'm more of a maple glazed man, and I hear the citrus are great too...but you've gotta get up early for one of those. You can't be sad about these doughnuts. ____________ *Read: tolerated. read more

Made a pit stop in Brooklyn to try these donuts. Would recommend coming earlier in the day as flavors sell out. We ordered 4 donuts: a citron/lemon frosting, glaze, chocolate frosting, and cinnamon glaze. It came with 2 free small coffees which was a bonus. They have a dense, cake-like consistency. A bit too sweet for my preference and I was content after a few bites but this and the size makes it great for sharing. read more

Obsessed with this place! I used to live right by it and I would treat myself to some fried doughy goodness. There were a lot of doughnuts to choose from and they make them fresh which is always a plus. And their doughnuts are literally the size of my face!! I can never go back to small skimpy Dunkin donuts again! They have coffee and tea as well. And I appreciate them having oat milk! Also, they have free WIFI that's always a great thing. read more

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place, because its among Brooklyn's best for doughnuts. Top 5 actually. It may be because I'm trying to cut down on sugary treats and with it being so close to home, it can be VERY dangerous. But that's a good thing for you all! I first visited here back in 2017 on behalf of my nephew, who is thin enough to partake in constant donuts. We've visited Moes, Peter Pan, and Dun-Well together, and while those are all very, very good, for me what's now Fat Doughnut (much better name than Brooklyn Doughnutry) feels like a great, down-home, no frills spot that has superior sweets. What's best about it is the variety. They usually have so many different flavors, and types, that the pick can be difficult. But don't worry, you'll have to walk out with at least two tasty treats, and maybe even one will make it home. The staff are also very nice, and patient. They make the experience that much better. I look forward to returning to Fat Doughnut soon. Try to get there before 11am though, before they start selling out! read more

Ordered via doordash and extremely disappointed in the quality of this sandwich. I'm homebound due to having surgery so I finally had an appetite today and decided to order a BEC. I was highly disappointed when a simple sandwich arrived overcooked and inedible. Will not order from here ever again. read more

These are really big doughnuts. And for a yeast variety, it is very dense. Ilya, the laid back, guy who came in from a cigarette break to help me was very friendly. Made me think of some of the "uncles" from eastern Europe. When I arrived, there were only 3 in the window, one vanilla and two maple. He suggested I try the maple doughnut because it was his favorite. I ended up with one of each (remind myself to never browse hungry). It took the better part of the day to finish the vanilla one (not too sweet), and I struggled to finish the maple (a bit sweet for my taste). It seems the flavor/sweetness predominantly comes from the icing, not the doughnut. Pretty decent confection. I will be back for the lovely cinnamon rolls I spotted on my way out of the door. read more

Fat Doughnut - Hi Ilya!!! - Donuts Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

TLDR: Super exceptional service! Banana nut donut great! We found this place on yelp and was surprised how close it was to our hotel. So of course we had to try! The lady at the counter was super super friendly. She mentioned that if we buy two donuts we get coffee for free. Alas, my wife already was carrying her coffee. Noticing that, the lady offered us a free bottled water instead when we buy 2 donuts. So nice! We instantly felt really good and cared for by her. She offered some explanations on the wonderful variety of unique donuts. Ultimately I settled on the banana nut donut because I love bananas. My wife got a salted pretzel caramel one. We thanked her again for being so flexible and walked out with our treasures. I enjoyed the n banana nut. The banana glaze had a hint of banana which is good. Too much banana would make it too sweet and also artificial tasting. The nuts bring a nice salty crunchy balance. Unfortunately, my wife's donut wasn't as good. The pretzels were soggy and we didn't get the distinction of flavors like the banana one. It was just sweet, too sweet. It would taste much better if it had a stronger chocolate taste (because caramel is usually too powerful) and the pretzels were crunchy. Despite that, I'm still giving this place 5 stars, because of the wonderful excellent service and the variety of unique flavors. Plus the donut itself is airy and light, not too cakey. We would definitely try to go back and try some more flavors. read more

What a bunch of friendly and conversational individuals! My sisters, dad and I were staying in Brooklyn for a few days and stumbled upon this quant establishment and were not disappointed; we ended up coming back four times! A popular favorite is the Maple Glaze donut! I recommend dipping it in your morning coffee to soak for a bittersweet combination! Speaking of coffee, they have a wide variety of coffee drinks. My personal favorite was the Red Eye with a oat milk (they also have almond milk available too). They also have a selection of breakfast and lunch options too from paninis, omelets, to delicious crepes! My dad's favorite was the Salmon Panini! They definitely don't skimp out on the quality and quantity when it comes to the paninis. The crepes are to DARN TOO GOOD. Each of the crepes we orders left a satisfied smile on our faces. Even if there was a mistake with the order, they were more than happy to fix it for us. They were considerate and quick. I absolutely love and appreciate service like them. I encourage anyone visiting the area to stop by Fat Doughnut for a wonderful breakfast or lunch because you will leave satisfied. read more

This place was a simple vibe. I went there to work because I WFH and I was in the neighborhood and needed to waste time. The place was pretty empty which I loved. There's Wi-Fi. I had a maple donut 9/10 and a bacon egg and cheese sandwich 9/10. read more

Cheap, freshly and fluffy yeast donuts that are the size of your face!! Donuts are my fave and the taste does not disappoint here. I've tried maple glaze, strawberry, and dulce de leche so far.

Friendly Staff. At 9:30 am the citrus donuts were gone but still a good selection left. Free coffee with two donuts. The gentleman gave me some good suggestions and a small education on a pastry I hadn't heard of before without making me feel stupid. No seating, takeout only. Donuts are basic in the very best way; yeasty, chewy yet light, the outer skin/crust almost has a crunch. Flavorings are not overpowering. Highly recommend. It was worth getting on the train for... read more

What's not rated high enough are the bagel breakfast sandwiches. By far the best egg, ham, and cheese on a bagel in this area. The egg is scrambled, omelette style, they put a good amount of ham and the right amount of cheese. The bagel with cream cheese is also better than any place in the area. They put on a lot more cream cheese than other places which is what really wins me over. My partner is a huge fan of the donuts, particularly the glaze. I have yet to try one but considering the reviews, they must be good. But don't sleep on their bagels! read more
