    chai spice croissant donut
    Laura H.

    The most disapointingly sweet, doughy, oily, uncrispy, flavorless, and expensive cronut I've ever had. There was no chai flavor except in the excruciatingly sweet dollop of cream and the entire donut was pervaded not with the taste of yeast, but pure flour soaked in oil. Cute place to take pictures though.

    Blueberry Cake Donut
    Brandon Y.

    I've walked by here enough to finally come in and try one of their donuts and I got the Blueberry cake donut to munch on because it's one of my favorite flavors. I often go out of my way to head to Peter Pan over in Williamsburg when I can, but it's still tedious to get there so I don't go as often as I would like. In terms of this place's take on it though, it's good! It's super soft and almost melt in your mouth and the inside almost reminds me of a blueberry muffin a bit (in a good way). It has its own uniqueness and charm to it, so I definitely wouldn't be opposed to coming in again and trying their other offerings.

    There's something about old-school NYC spots that just feels comforting, and The Donut Pub absolutely has that energy. It has that classic retro diner vibe with the marble counter seating, bright neon signs, and a nonstop flow of people coming in for coffee and donuts. I stopped in for the tres leches donut and it was honestly delicious. Moist, rich, sweet without being overwhelming, and packed with that creamy tres leches flavor all the way through. The texture was soft and fresh, which made it feel more indulgent than your average donut shop treat. Service was quick and efficient, even with how busy the place stays. It's one of those spots where you grab your order, find a stool if you can, or just grab and go, and just enjoy the classic New York atmosphere. You can tell why this place has lasted so long. It balances nostalgia with creative flavors really well, and the tres leches donut alone is worth the stop.

    Wall of deliciousness

    Delicious vegan donut. Visually, the wall of donuts is overwhelming in a really great way. Service was good and recommendations were tasty.

    I was first introduced to Donut Pub when they only had the one location at 14th street. This is my first time at this location, and the service was very friendly. The place is clean, bright, and there is a great assortment of donuts. I tried The St. Joseph donut, which is a French cruller with cannoli cream, powdered sugar, and a maraschino cherry on top. I'm not digging the French cruller. I think of it as the angel food cake of cakes - it's light, airy, tastes nice - but lacks oomph for me. I also wish there was more cannoli cream inside the cruller. I'm gonna stick to their cake and croissant donuts!

    Cronut
    Yarn Y.

    We decided to try their version of a cronut- the combination be a doughnut and a croissant . We took the sugar coated one - I didn't think it was great (missing the filling you get in the Dominique Ansel cronut ). My wife did enjoy it though . So this is a 3.5 star review really

    Black and white cookies
    Elaine C.

    Review for black and white cookies: they have a donut-esque flair (are the cookies fried? It tastes like they could be) and are nice and soft. The frosting is not the hard fondant of some others but frosting more like that of a donut. This is currently my favorite black and white I can get in the city (my favorite, glaser's closed down a while ago).

    The Donut Pub in Astor Place is an enormous donut emporium one could spend weeks eating their way through. I was intimidated by the expansive array of flavors but eventually settled on the blueberry cake and maple croissant donuts. The blueberry cake was moist, dense and perfectly glazed for sweetness that complemented the healthy dose blueberries dotted throughout. In contrast, the maple croissant was flaky and light despite its girthy appearance. I would happily come back either morning or night to enjoy a little sweet treat here

    Donut joy
    Andrew C.

    Wow. We stopped in for donuts. Our only regret is that we didn't have enough room in our bellies to try them all. We had the creme brule, maple bacon, and Capuchino croissant. Instead of just being big lumps of fried dough, these were all very light and layered like a croissant. Absolutely love this place. Don't miss it!

    Bacon donut
    Anna M.

    Bacon donut was a bit weird but not bad for creativity. Tiramisu donut was nice although the donut was very airy. They didn't have many seats or places to eat your donut so thats minus. And they had so many flavors to try so I think I'll come again.

    Melissa C.

    You can't go wrong with a good gourmet donut! There are so many options here that it's overwhelming and almost impossible to choose. I ended up getting the s'mores and the pumpkin spice, which were both great options. They're super filling, so one to enjoy now and one for later! Their donuts are croissant donuts, so they're a bit different but so good. They're light, soft, fluffy, and filling. Don't miss the cute donut wall!

    I first discovered The Donut Pub on 14th Street . They opened in 1964 and have developed a stellar reputation of being open for 24 hours, 7 days a week and offering the most unique selection of humongous donuts and flavors you'll never find in traditional donuts establishments. Recently, I read a review of the best black and white cookies and I was very surprised thst of all the bakeries in Manhattan, they were rated number 1! Since I had an appointment in Greenwich Village, Ivwent to their newest ( and inly other location) on Broadway just off Astor Place. This location is indeed a donut lovers dream shio. With lots of seating and a long counter, you could enjoy sitting and eating donuts, drinking coffee and even reading a good book while enjoying the lovely ambiance of their donut emporium. I came here to sample their black and white cookies and met Benjamin, one of The Donut Pub's dedicated staff members who was very excited to share his favorite donuts that he recommended as well as demonstrate his knowledge of the history of their absolutely delicious black and white cookies!

    HUGE variety of donuts. They have several different cronut flavors. They also have gluten free and vegan options. Everything we tried was delicious

    Do they have egg free, gluten free donuts?

    We have an allergy to nuts. Are nuts served on any of the donuts?

    Best to speak to The Donut Pub managers directly since you are talking about a nut allergy. Play it safe, and go directly to the source. :). I carry an Epi Pen. We don't know what causes my allergic reaction, but we know things I'm not allergic… 

    Is there a recommended window to have the most options to choose from? I know the doughnut plant tends to close once they run out of donuts.

    Every time I've gone, they have been fully stocked. I've gone at after 12 pm mostly.

Second, we ordered the falafel bowl that includes three falafels, pickled onions, avocado, cucumber, whipped garlic feta, kale salad, romesco, and Za'atar dressing that had a delicious flavor. However, our ultimate favorite had to be the Thai Crunch Wrap with sweet potato fries. It was fairly busy, and our drinks took a while to come, but the food arrived shortly after. The next time I'm back, I will be sure to reorder the Thai crunch wrap. If you have food allergies, they are extremely accommodating and have numerous vegan/vegetarian/GF.

It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water.
