50 Best Donuts in New York

“I normally recommend this bakery to everyone. However, yesterday morning I went to your Brooklyn location to bring home bombalones for family. This morning the strawberry on top on one is literally covered in mold. This is absolutely unacceptable! Unfortunately I'm already back out of state so I can't even come back to get an exchange. I spent around $75 yesterday.... and I get MOLDY food.“

“My daughter, my child always finds the best places to take her mama to. And babeee these donuts along with the customer service were definitely a win for me. I am vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian ;) and I chose from the vegan section and when I tell you the pumpkin glaze donut and the vegan plain donut warmed up for less than 50 seconds in a microwave were the best thing my hour glass figure didn’t need, I am not lying. These donuts were simply delicious, so delicious imma get the heck outta the city and not come back to it for atleast 2 years. lol. There isn’t anyway I can always have these donuts at my finger tips. But hands down this is a must try and definitely recommended establishment one has to visit any time in the New York area! Now, off to the gym, omg!“

“Wow, GREAT place to go if you like Coffee/Tea & donuts, but SO MUCH MORE that's great for spring & summer incl fantastic soft serve ice cream: They've got their own unique TOP Quality donuts that were somewhere between a beignet and a zeppole (I'm told that it's a Mochi donut) and the mouth-feel is like they are a fried donut with a lovely texture and fantastic chew! They have both a regular shaped donut and a kind of Flower shape that breaks into individual balled pieces of donut, so THAT worked well sitting on top of a soft serve ice cream cup and them injecting whichever flavor of soft serve you choose through the center and into the cup - Great combo that's very easily broken off into pieces to have bites with the soft serve which today was either Milk Cream or Thai Tea today along with the flavor varities of donuts - Glazed Donut – Classic, Coffee Toffee, Poppy Grapefruit, Toasted Coconut Bear Donut (Regular) – Chocolate, Cheddar, Lavender, Sugar Cream Puff Donut – Dirty Choco, Double Milk Tea, Matcha Custard, Strawberry I didn't see the limited edition peanut butter and jelly but I can tell you I was definitely satisfied!“

“First and foremost, their pastries are wonderful! Came in the morning when everything was well stocked. They had a variety of bomboloni (Italian fried doughnuts), croissants, cookies and muffins. They had at least 3 different flavors of bomboloinis (orange spritz, blueberry/raspberry, strawberry cream) and at least 4 type of croissants (butter, everything, basil cream cheese, espresso). There were even more but I've forgotten. I got two sweet and two savory ones plus an Americano. The total was $28 which in my opinion is a decent price for NYC. I saw a board outside that a breakfast sandwich and drip coffee combo is $9. Other than what's displayed, they also have a food menu. I noticed someone ordered an everything croissant with egg and salmon or prosciutto. It looked really good so I will definitely be going back for that. They have a large space. There are cozy seats and tables at the front. The back has plenty of tables and chairs. They even have a long bar table with high chairs against the wall opposite their open kitchen. They also placed a few tables and chairs on the sidewalk. Most importantly, they have one clean handicap assessable restroom. Next to that there is a storage area that they tried to shield with trees. I appreciate they try to make the space pretty and clean.“

“My opinion is 9.1/10. Def lived up to hype. I had the yuzu, has a lemon flavor and I did enjoy it. If back in the area would try other flavors I heard the boba is what they are know for.

“I tried this place after hearing about it on Instagram. Me and my husband went after the Washington Heights 5K that he participated in. We came a little early because I thought they opened at 10 but then I realized today is Sunday and they open an hour later so we went into Marshalls to kill time. Me and my husband both got juice. It was the best juice I’ve ever tasted. Usually when I have fresh juice at another place, most times they are not served cold and refreshing, and this place I had it cold and refreshing how I love it. I am planning to come back again so I can try one of the sandwiches also. I hope maybe in the future they open up a location in Queens.“

“I'm always on the lookout for good bakeries. And when I say "always", I mean it. I'm constantly looking for another source of tasty pastries. Even after years of being in New York, my standard for bakery excellence is Mah-Ze-Dahr. They do everything so well- their croissant monkey bread is crave-worthy (with crunchy flakes of sugar pearls and orange blossom glaze and bits of real croissant), their carrot cake is insanely moist with just the right amount of decadent cream cheese frosting, their brioche donut is amazing, their sourdough croissants have got that uber-buttery flakiness. My mom raves about their scones, and I've heard great things from friends about other items, too, both savory and sweet. In short, you cannot go wrong with Mah-Ze-Dahr. It's so consistent, and so delicious.“

“Went around Monday afternoon, was in the mood for something for a quick bite. When you walk in there is always a warm and cheerful welcome. Grace is always so kind and patient to customers who go in, was unsure of what to get yet she was so kind to explain the items the café provided. Decided to buy a bacon and cheese egg sandwich, K-corn dog, and Croffles. She was so kind explaining each ingredient and it’s uniqueness. 10/10 would come again!!“

“I walked in after a tough day visiting one of my adult children in the C-P hospital and walked into the best coffee shop experience I have had in NYC. Great coffee, seriously amazing jam donut, a delightful patron, great service and a wonderful tiny flipboard skate shop. I know where I am going from now when it comes to getting coffee here.“

“Such a cute and colorful donut shop. They have so many different kinds of donuts!! Almost the entire length of the shop is a wall of donuts!! I had ordered a tiramisu croissant donut and a strawberry croissant donut. I didn't even know croissant donuts were a thing but they were outstanding. Warm, flaky, and sweet. Donuts tasted fresh and unique. Definitely worth multiple visits to try the other donut options.“

“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“

“We really enjoyed our deserts. It's all very light and not too sweet. Our favorite is the early grey penna cotta with lemon ice cream. We went at 7 pm on a Saturday night and no wait. It's a bit expensive deserts but definitely a unique experience.“

“I was actually taken aback with this doughnut. I got the creme brulee. It was the best doughnut I've ever eaten. There was so much filling and the dough was soft but bready and it was just perfect. Sweet but not overly sweet. I haven't stopped thinking about it.The service was lovely and there are a few places to sit. I didn't love the iced coffee but try for yourself and see! Get the doughnuts though. I'll be back before I leave new york.“

“Ok, I don’t want to be dramatic but this may have been my very favorite avocado toast, like, ever. It’s very simple and fresh, and just the right amount of acidity. I needed to ask what was in it, and the barista said it’s a bit of rice vinegar. (I need to try that at home myself.) coffee was good and all, but I’ll definitely come back for this avocado toast! (And sweet baristas.)PS: 4 stars for the atmosphere because the shop is a tiny tiny hole in a wall. There is a counter seating that can fit maybe 4-5 people tops. You may not find a space to sit. But still worth a visit.“

“It's a winner for flavors! The virtual ordering is confusing here (multiple kiosks where you can only order certain items) & staff weren't particularly friendly, but the flavors are on point. The tangulu tasted the same as the ones you can get in East Asia. They also had hawthorn berry which was very tasty. For context, I usually do not like donuts but these mochi donuts popped off. There's seating outside but not in the restaurant itself. My only complaint is the price for tangulu. Since it's generally only sugar coated fruit, $7.99 is expensive for like 5 pieces.“

“Molci Dolci is a cute small cafe with lots of mochi donuts options and boba. They also serve small bites as well. The cafe was very cozy. The owner took our order and was very attentive and friendly. They also have a cute speak easy in the back. We were only able to check it out because they were closed for a private party that was happening soon.“

“The coffee here is amazing! I always drink it black so can get a real taste of the roast, Zelma’s never disappoints. The ambience is cozy and relaxed, I love that they offer Wi-Fi and encourage people to work or read while there. Will definitely continue to come back :)“

“The Krispy Kreme donuts at this store are different from other stores.You can watch the donuts being made and even receive a paper hat.Maybe it was just luck, but when I was watching them making donuts, I said, ``Do you like Krispy Kreme donuts?'' When I answered, ``Yes, of course,'' I received a freshly made original donut.Afterwards, there was a line of people watching to get donuts.What makes them different from Japanese Krispy Kreme donuts is their sweetness and shape.As expected, I feel the sweetness and fatness is stronger than in Japan.The shapes are not all the same as in Japan. (Similar to other donut chain stores in America)However, once you get used to it, the intense sweetness becomes addictive.(Nowadays, I find it hard to feel the sweetness when I eat Japanese chocolate...)These donuts are delicious, but if you're visiting from Japan and buying them, I think one donut is enough.They also sell original goods, so be sure to check them out.I think it's a good store to stop by while sightseeing.“

“A very lovely takeout counter on the UWS. I've gone here several times and everything is always really good.I enjoy their cinnamon rolls which are quite large, have a very good rise, and are not too sweet. The cinnamon rolls have a nice caramelization that happens on the bottoms and the bread itself is quite nice.I have had their lingonberry donut in the past, with skillfully made dough and the frosting very tasty and tart.The cappuccino has also been good, with a great foam.it's also very dog friendly. They often open the door to greet my dog and give her a treat, making this a great spot for the whole family!“

“A special thanks to Jean and Ronny not only for their excellent service but, more importantly, for their talent. Jean and Ronny are true company assets; if I ever had my own company, these are the people I'd hire 1000000%. I truly hope Krispy Kreme will take this review seriously and reach out to these employees for their work ethic and embodiment of company values.“

“My fave flavors are lemon pop & flower power. My other half is a plain Jane & gets powered & sugar doughnuts. The coffee was good. The people are great and they're pretty patient when deciding the flavors you like. Theres seating, but it's a shared space w/ the rest of the food court. Stop in and enjoy some fresh doughnuts.“

“Great happiness in this act of generosity, I sense. With Cantonese grandmas, enter through the door I did. Krispy Kreme, kind and bountiful, they are. Handing out free boxes of a dozen donuts, a gesture grand. Each donut, a circle of delight, sweet and light as the clouds of Dagobah. Joy, not just in the eating, but in the sharing with wise companions. Many smiles, they bring, to young and old. Gratified, I am, for such kindness in the galaxy. Recommend this place of sweet joy, I heartily do. To all who seek a taste of happiness, with friends or family, to Krispy Kreme, go you must.“

“I wanted to Say what a great Team of gentlemen that work here. Anthony helped and the team of Gents helped me with my order Sunday morning on a very cold day when I was trying to start my time off with sunshine. He really took the cold chip off my Shoulder and started our retail day so pleasant. I would have done the survey, but they are no longer on the receipts. Great job of being just amazing human beings. With a great spirit and great FRESH Doughnuts.“

“My personal favorite shop in all of Harlem. The doughnuts are always fresh. The customer service is OK--I have never encountered anything at all. The employees are attentive, efficient and thoughtful and also respectful. I have a wonderful experience each and every time I go. I ❤ Krispy Kreme!“

“Blissbomb was a very pleasant experience. They do NOT have a brick and mortar location. You have to go on their site, link is in Yelp, and place your order. The order will be processed through Grubhub or Doordash.I was amazed at how quickly my order was delivered..... right to my place of business. Another reason to try Blissbomb is....their donuts are baked, not fried. I ordered the Apple Cider Cinnamon donuts and they were delicious. All of their donuts are miniature, but they are packed with fresh flavor and bits of your selection, on top. With my order, it was pieces of cinnamon apple. The order comes in a secure box, with their flyer, and plenty of napkins. I'm very happy, that I experienced Blissbomb, because I will definitely reorder and recommend.“

“Doughnut plant serves the best doughnuts in NYC! You can tell they use high quality ingredients in their products. Their filled donuts are incredible! The PB and J doughnut has jelly in every bite. Also the PB and the jam are made by them. They also have excellent coffee. I got some of their beans to make coffee at home and was very impressed.Vegetarian options: Everything is vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: They have atleast one gluten free donut option available each day. Also all their sourdoughnuts are vegan.“

“Today was such a SPECIAL DAY, and thank you so much to DAVID... you are suck a superstar to your location. First off, before coming to this location, they were sold out til 5pm on most places. We took a chance and BABY, DAVID OUR SAVIOR pulled out a special fresh bath just for us after seeing my friend start crying about amwakking 13 blocks to this location. The place has the machine to see them freshly make the items which also cool. Go see David and tell him yall came cause Honey said you that man...... Also it's the Special Biscoff cookie donuts“

“The staff truly had the St. Patrick’s day spirit along with the donuts. I didn’t like my donut flavor, ( I tried something new) but the rest of my party enjoyed theirs. I would go back just for the friendly staff, clean atmosphere and my usual donut.Kid-friendliness: Donut case are low and nicely displayed.Wheelchair accessibility: There’s a street level entrance as well as an elevator if you’re coming from subway.“

“We got here at night time and the donuts were soft and fresh. There were so many different toppings for the donuts we didn’t know what to choice. The worker said he’ll make it for us and they were all delicious. My favorite was the cereal donut.8/10“

“Stopped by Doughnuttery at Bryant Park Winter Village. I had a few minidonuts: Pumpkin Glazed Chocolate glazed It was very cool watching them make and I enjoyed the pumpkin the most and then glazed. I would love to see what else they make at their actual locations.“

“So I stopped by the union square holiday market location and I had a Tuscan Sandwich with Tuscan prosciutto, burrata cheese, truffle+porcini mushroom cream which was amazing!!. However this wasn’t my first visit!. On my first visit I had the Nutella bomboloni Which was also awesome!!.“

“This was a big DD site for just Dunkin, usually it shares site with Baskin Robbins but it was just donut shop. Clean, service was ow and overwhelming for staff. It's morning and yes you will have influx of people but it's what we sign up to do daily. I ordered new loaded hash browns- love it but no fork enclosed. I had to eat man style ( with my hands?! Shouldn't it been included) in a bowl. Coffee delicious loving the holiday flavors!!!Vegetarian options: Their are definitely options for vegan eaters for me I can do with out meat...so I like that you can order meatless items and very delicious indeed!“

“(Translated by Google) The place is huge, a great experience because as soon as you wait in line you get to see the factory and the process. It's a lot of people but the line flows fast. You can buy souvenirs from the store too, and when you buy your Donuts they give you a little confectioner's hat. In this unit there is the version of a special 'big apple' Donut that only exists there costing 11 dollars.(Original)El lugar es enorme, una experiencia genial porque en cuanto haces la fila de espera consigues ver la fábrica y el proceso. Es mucha la gente pero la fila fluye rápido la. Puedes comprar souvenirs de la tienda también, y cuando compras tus Donuts te regalan un sombrerito de confeiteiro. En esta unidad existe la versión de un Donut especial 'big apple' que sólo existe allí costando 11 dólares.“

“One of the better Dunkin' donuts the people are very kind to those like me with disabilities. No nasty attitude just good clean service. I'm giving them five stars because when I say good morning they actually say good morning back.“

“Honestly this is the best Dunkin in NYC. From the fresh sandwiches being made and the awesome workers been coming here over half a year. Met the manager once while he was making my food super chill guy and funny and the baristas Anika and Majid are great drink makers one time my drink tasted off and I wanted it sweeter they gave me a brand new drink that tasted great. So many great customer experiences I received from this store they’re pickup method is quick and easy say your name and order and your out the door. Every Dunkin should be like this!“

“They are super quick here especially if you order pick up, they'll have your order done in less than 5minutes although sometimes the workers can be a bit rude. I try to always order pickup and that way I don't have to deal with anyone.“

“Right across from 92y . Quick & easy . First time trying the strawberry passion fruit refresher drink & I love it . Nice window seating to people watch . Also baskin robin’s ice cream & ice cream cakes ready & available . Pleasant service as well .Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap button to the right of the door for easy opening & accessible ramp leads up to counter .“

“I've come to this location for YEARS. There has been a change in staff within the past month, and unfortunately the service has declined. I'm going to give 4 stars because I've come here with little to no issues over the years, I'm not going to let a month of poor service change my overall rating. If you order through the app, your items aren't ready when you go to pickup. They're burning the food/ overcooking. A few times the coffee has tasted off. Again, been ordering the same items for years so I know when something is off. They need a little more training, please provide. A loyal customer despite the recent issues.“

“My Autistic son is obsessed with Donuts and once he enters he wants to just skip and get his donut ... while my son was screaming the staff was so nice and helpful they try to calm him down and sing to him...Once it was our turn he received his Donut and he was so happy but they showed care and concern. No negative reaction as a parent you worry how others may view your child but they made me feel comfortable.. Thank You.“

“These are delicious mochi donuts ! Best I have found outside of Japan ! These are so light with an excellent texture and they don't have that heavy fried taste at all. I could do without the icing on the pumpkin donuts, as I don't like icing, so I just wiped it off and it was perfect.“

“The only Dunkin' close to me that has plenty of indoor seating. Service is fast and friendly. But if you're coming to Dunkin' Donuts for donuts, you're doing it wrong. They have free wi-fi and there's a LinkNYC connection right outside. They don't play music so it's a good quiet place to get some work done. Desperately needed since they closed my favorite Starbucks. Plus the coffee is cheaper. An all around win!“

“this Dunkin’ location closed and moved a few storefronts to a smaller space. it is new, clean, and very clean—no seating though. standard Dunkin menu. ordered a small Caramel Cold Brew and it hit the spot on a sweltering summer day. staff was fast and friendly—as most of the drinks seem to be on a tap system. all the positives said— Dunkin seems to be raising their prices to align with Starbucks and in NYC, its locations seem to close early.“

“I absolutely adore this Dunkin’ location. They are working in such a small space, but I almost never have to wait a long time for my drink, and it’s ALWAYS delicious which can be a rarity for Dunkin’. I love these workers and think they deserve all the kudos in the world. Thanks for being awesome!!“

“Clean and efficient. I place mobile orders here during the morning rush and I am able for the most part to get in and out without issues. There is a person specifically managing the order distributions which helps with the flow. When it gets really busy like on a Monday morning (attributed to some of their promos too like the free coffee offer with purchase), things can take be a bit of time within reason. Missing one star because customer service (which is beyond their control really due to language barriers which impact communication); overall well intentioned and pleasant interactions.“

“I’ve been visiting this Dunkin every week for the past month and I can comfortably say this is the best and most consistent service I have received at this location.The lady that works there is so cheerful and she remembers my order, very polite as well. Keep up the good work!The interior is clean, I just wish they would update the store a little. It’s never too busy which is a plus.“

“Nice clean restaurant with friendly and welcoming staff. Asked them to make my milkshake the way I Love and enjoy it, and they did without any attitude or being rude. They had all ice cream flavors and seem to stay stocked up on one's I usually find are runout at other restaurants in the area. Small space with traffic at times and limited seating. Thank You for keeping your pace clean and having friendly and respectful staff. Will be back. Pics next time.“

“I stop by this dunkin spot just about everyday going into work. There's a dunkin by my job on Jay Street, but they are Leah's out of something. So I come to this location and they aways have everything, the service is fast and friendly, hot and ready and I never have a negative thing to say about them. Aways in and out.“

“The Dunkin was across the street from our hotel in Times Square and was a great way to start the morning as their food is priced the same as it is everywhere else in the US instead of being hiked up by $10 just because it is NY. You could get a breakfast sandwhich for $4-5. Everywhere else in NY you pay $10. And it was pretty good. We went there just about every morning to get our iced coffee and a bite.“

“They are very fast BUT ... the guy thst's allowed to hang out in front, opening the door for customers is unnerving. During COVID 2020, he was there. I did slip him $ a few times. He now acts like this is his job. If I see him outside, I won't go in. Today, I placed an order for a neighbor by mobile & he was there. He is almost always there. He is never threatening or anything like that. I can understand the employees can't say anything because they might fear retaliation. I hoped that reporting it might be helpful.“

“We came here for breakfast one morning and got a Bacon, egg and cheese bagel and a sausage egg and cheese on a croissant.2 x coffees and 2 x breakfast items came to just over $20, which considering we’re in New York, isn’t too bad.Staff were somewhat helpful, I had to reiterate the order quite a few times, but they did get it right and the end product was okay.“
