50 Best Donuts near Howard Beach

“Great crew and great customer service, also... I love shootin the crap with the crew of guys that hang out in there at night! Good bunch of guy's. ...GO TRUMP! Never miss a stop in there when I'm going though the neighborhood! Best DD in NY!“

“My family highly recommends Peter Pan Donut and Pastry Shop for your exceptional employees and fantastically delicious donuts!! Thank you for your hospitality and for making my granddaughter's birthday donut trip so special!! It was definitely worth the trip!! With Kristen Fulbrook 💕 🎂🍩💙“

“My Girl Scout troop of newly graduated Ambassadors spent 4 days in NYC and we stayed right next door to Bear Donut. We went there literally every day, sometimes more than once and cannot recommend it enough!! Friendly and helpful staff, delicious donuts, breakfast sandwiches and coffees!!“

“I love The Donut Pub! The Astor Place location is bright, joyful, and airy, a fun spot with a great variety of donuts (including gluten-free options), plus dog treats, paninis, and bagels. My go-to order is the honey glazed donut with an iced coffee, simple and perfect.

I live nearby, and it’s my favorite spot in the morning for coffee and in the evening for a sweet, dessert-style donut after dinner. I often bring friends here, especially at night when the music is blasting and the vibe is so fun! You don’t find many donut places with cool tunes and energy like this. Donut Pub is a national treasure!

Best of all, it’s open 24 hours, so whether it’s an early start or a late-night craving, The Donut Pub always hits the spot. There’s plenty of seating, and it’s a comfortable, welcoming place to gather with friends or family“

“them donuts are DELICIOUS ❤❤“

“Bright and early in the morning Nyla was a ray of sunshine on this gloomy day. She took her time explaining the menu options. Walked us thru the process. Put so much love into our donuts and treated us like long time friends. Felt like hanging out in your best friend’s kitchen instead of picking up donuts at a shop. I will definitely be back!!“

“I go to New York City once year: My co-workers and I take a group of theater students, we see 8 broadways shows, I get a *carrot cake donut* at the Doughnut Plant in Grand Central Station, and I’m a happy girl for one more year. I always have a good experience! I get my favorite, and then something new. Everything I’ve ever tried there has been phenomenal. (This time is was a coffee cake doughnut - it was inspired! SO good!) If Doughnut Plant moved its location to the moon, I’d probably just start taking my theater students there instead, just so I could get my yearly taste test at Doughnut Plant.“

“Unregular Bakery was hands down the best bakery experience we had in NYC. The pastry display looks absolutely insane, and everything tastes just as good as it looks. We tried the croissant pudding, the K Bueno, and a cappuccino — all were amazing. The employee recommended we warm up the croissant pudding, and even did it for us — it was exactly what I had been craving after so many disappointing bakery visits in NYC. On top of that, he was super friendly, and you can really see how passionate he is about the bakery and pastries. We’d 100% come back to try all the other goodies.“

“love this place so much! have been going here for a few years and every time I go everything is so good :)“

“I had a great experience at Doughnut Plant! The donuts were delicious, and had so many flavors. The cashier Miguel was super nice and welcoming, which really made the visit even better. He was patient, friendly, and made the whole experience enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“Honestly the 2 things i remember about this place is that the staff is so incredibly kind and that the donuts you could really taste that they were handmade and no processed stuff. Really quality and after eating you didn’t feel too full or heavy. These were delicious and fresh!“

“Stopped by Jackson Heights, it was delicious & well worth the Q70 bus ride & walk from LGA & back. ���“

“Was introduced to this place by a friend of mine. Nice internet cafe, food is good and there is an assortment of beverages that is sure to please everyone. Come here get work done, pick up breakfast and even pow wow with friends its the place. Try it. If you are there the coconut donuts are divine.“

“Súper ricas las doughnuts 🍩❤️“

“We absolutely LOVE this bakery especially how they consistently use the freshest ingredients. Their items are out of this world, hands down. The staff is usually so wonderful and helpful. However, today (Saturday November 15), there was this one female staff member (brunette, eye glasses) who was helping folks with the baked goods, and she was extremely rude and even rolled her eyes at us. Her negative and awful attitude was absolutely palpable. I don't think she realizes that she exudes such a horrible attitude, and for the sake of not turning off customers, we hope the management can have a talk with her. Please feel free to email me if you'd like more details.“

“This burger spot is a hidden gem on Northern Boulevard. VERY affordable burger (smash burger and chicken sandwich were $5) and the quality is top notch - great quality beef and well-seasoned chicken. The man who owns it was extremely courteous and respectful, which made this hole-in-the-wall experience exceptional. I'd 110% recommend going here!“

“Todas!❤️❤️❤️❤️🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩😃😃😃😃“

“Stupid, d*** delicious. Will be back every chance possible. Well worth it.“

“I found out about this place when going for Banh mi in the same food court. I tried their UBE tres leches ans holy holy was it delicious. How has this place not gone viral yet?? Suckered away in the back of the food court but all is delicious. The owner which was this very nice lady was so sweet and friendly. Absolutely loved all the different desserts they had to offer.“

“Dear Super Nice, your coffee & pastries are so good we almost chose an apartment nearby just to be close to you. Your staff is incredible and you are a gem to the neighborhood ❤️“

“First off, Darcy is such an amazing worker she is patient and super sweet! She answered all the questions I had and her service is wonderful! I tried the Nutella filled doughnut, the coffe doughnut and the twist one…All I have to say is 10/10 they are so delicious! I warmed them up when I got home and they were absolutely amazing! I will be coming back for more treats!!“

“Excellent family friendly cafe 🍵Recommend the chai masala, lavender donut and rose elixir matcha! Follow @maria.angelspear for more cafe gems ☕️🎀✨“

“The egg toasts were delectable! Actually so happy my sister and I chose to come by. It has a tiny kick of spice which was a pleasant surprise. My sister got the vanilla flat white coffee and she loved it and finished it so quickly. The only thing I wasn't over the
moon for was the corndog. I got the mozarella hot dog corn dog and it was okay. I wouldn't get it again.

The space is small but offers some seating indoors and outdoors. I will definitely try to come again for the egg toast specifically.“

“There is something special about watching Anything Else Guy at work. When he makes doughnuts, it feels like more than baking. There is focus, rhythm, and care in every motion. The dough seems to rise differently when he is behind the counter, almost like it knows it’s in good hands.

When he brews a cappuccino, the sound of the steam wand and the aroma of fresh coffee blend into something calm and familiar. His presence fills the shop with a quiet energy that makes the morning feel right.

He doesn’t just prepare food and drinks. He creates a small experience of warmth and calm for everyone who walks in.

Vibe check: immaculate
Aura: golden brown with a calm hum of early morning peace
Would I come back: already planning to!“

“Words can’t describe the deliciousness of Chikalicious!!“

“I had such a great experience at 7th Ave Park Slope Diner! The food was absolutely amazing — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can really tell they take pride in what they serve. The employees were so well-mannered, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. It’s rare to find that kind of genuine hospitality these days, and it made the meal even better.

I’ll definitely be coming back soon — this place has officially become one of my favorite spots in Park Slope!“

“Stopped by Jackson Heights, it was delicious & well worth the Q70 bus ride & walk from LGA & back. ���“

“One of my favorite sandwich and pastry stores in Midwood!“

“Love it I’m definitely going back“

“We visited I’m donut ? during our NYC trip, and since it was literally right across the street from our hotel l, and we’re huge donut fans, we couldn’t resist. This spot is known for having lines out the door, and they’re even prepared with clipboards and menus for guests ordering while waiting outside. But we must have hit the magical quiet window because we walked in during a slow moment and were welcomed inside right away. Within minutes, more people started arriving, so our timing couldn’t have been better.

Ordering is done through a paper checklist where you pick your donuts and drinks. It’s simple, fast, and honestly kind of fun. We tried a mix of flavors: the seasonal pumpkin donut, the scrambled egg donut, the sausage donut, the chocolate nama donut, and the plain original. I also ordered a hojicha latte with oat milk, which was refreshing and paired nicely with the donuts. They don’t offer coffee or espresso lattes at the moment, but it wasn’t a downside at all, the tea-based drinks fit the vibe perfectly.

The donuts absolutely lived up to the hype. They’re soft, airy, melt-in-your-mouth, and really unlike any donut we’ve had before. The big surprise? The scrambled egg donut, it sounds unusual, but it was incredible and ended up being the standout of the bunch. Perfectly savory, super tender, and honestly the perfect quick breakfast before exploring the city.

We took our box over to Bryant Park and enjoyed everything in the fresh morning air. It was such a treat and a great way to start the day. If you’re anywhere near Times Square (or even if you’re not), I’m donut ? is absolutely worth the stop.“

“I am addicted to this place ... Known for the best quality with affordable prices.. The snap mellow pop is creamy ,rich in flavor, not too sweet ... They offer dinning and its kids friendly. Great play area in the back for your little ones .. Looking for a cozy date night to sip on warm tasty hot chocolate in the winter ,this place is perfect 👌“

“I got their strawberry and mango croffle delivered and it was delicious! They weren't too sweet and the cream was really light, which paired well with the croffle itself. I loved the strawberry one as there was strawberry jam and the strawberries themselves were really sweet. The mango one was alright as the mangos were a bit bitter. Overall, a cute dessert spot and I would love to try their other menu items!“

“this place is a lovely grab and go type of spot (along with the 2 restaurants it shares the building with, machi machi for drinks and jongro rice hot dog for corndogs — both very good too). you pay for however many donuts at the kiosk and then tell the employee which one you want. super quick process. the donuts were a bit hard, im assuming they were made earlier and then just kept stored to be handed out. if they stayed in a warmer or something they’d have stayed soft. not a problem for me since i went home and heated them up a bit, but it does mean you dont get the best experience you can from just a visit. that being said, i think the mochi donuts here are ever so slightly cheaper than other places, which is nice. when looking online for flavors, i found there were a few missing, so my pictures should have all of the flavors as of october 2025 (im assuming halloween pumpkin is a seasonal one!!)
overall def recommend this place :) esp to grab a corn dog and/or drink too all in one go“

“If you’re ever in the Bronx and you don’t stop at Gino’s Pastry Shop, you’re missing out on a piece of real New York history. This Arthur Avenue staple has been serving up authentic Italian pastries for decades, and it’s exactly what you want from an old-school bakery — no frills, just flavor and tradition. The cannoli? Legendary. They fill them fresh to order, and the shells are crisp, flaky perfection with creamy ricotta that tastes like it was whipped up by someone’s Nonna in the back. The sfogliatelle and lobster tails are equally iconic — sweet, buttery, and loaded with filling. Don’t sleep on the rainbow cookies either — they’re dense, almondy, and always spot-on. The shop itself is cozy, with that classic Italian-American charm. Gino and the crew treat you like family, whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth. Prices are super fair for the quality, and it’s cash-only — so come prepared. Bottom line: Gino’s isn’t just a pastry shop, it’s a Bronx institution. Worth the trip, worth the calories, and worth every bite.“

“Got the original glazed and tried the cinnamon roll. Never had krispy kreme before and it's ok, didn't blow me away with all the hype I've heard about them. The original glazed was good and the cinnamon roll tasted like a honey bun, would say it could used more cinnamon filling.
Tried the Cookie Biscoff flavor, was pretty good flavor and good mix of textures.“

“I ordered my wedding cake from this lovely place. It was a delicious experience to say the least. The staff is friendly and the pastry wizard is just that. I gave her a picture that I wish I could up load and not only did she replicate the exact design but the cake itself literally melted on our mouths. It was so light and fluffy my "husband" couldn't wait a year to eat the top. If you live anywhere in Brooklyn and have need of a baker this place is worth the drive. Trust you won't be disappointed💃🏿“

“I been coming here for years since they open the owner and employees are wonderful and amazing. The food is fantastic my favorite combo that I get every day small ice coffee with a sausage and egg and cheese on roll. Sometimes if I don’t order breakfast I have order in the afternoon the cheeseburger with fries or a Philly cheesesteak and both taste amazing i highly recommend this spot“

“lucien and his team are a wonderful group of people. great coffee/ scones/ cookies/ sandwiches/croissants... walk up window with distancing enforced. love this place!“

“I love this cafe, ive met some great people here.

Things to know is the food is limited. Just pastries and yogurt really. If you are looking to read a book, work in a laptop and have a coffee. This is a cute vibe. The coffee bean blend is actually good but all the baristas dont know too much about milk frothing. They’ve burnt every coffee I’ve had. I come back because of the vibe, but I have to go other places in the neighborhood when I want a consistently good coffee, not burnt.“

“Great place to grab a bite, refuel your car and yourself“

“Mochi Dolci is one of my favorite places in the UWS. It's a family-owned business that TRULY CARES about the people that walk in for food, drinks, and hanging out. I love many of their #mochidonuts - classics like black sesame and taro but I love their playful ones such as fruity pebbles. Other dishes are good to such as their pork belly bao, mango salad, and dumplings. Of course, their #milktea and #bobatea are delicious. I recently tried their matcha milk tea with strawberry popping boba. Their place is cozy and welcoming. They have a speakeasy too - I have not been, but they were kind to let me explore it (with their permission). I look forward to come back for drinks and food with friends! Easily 5 stars and ABOVE! 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩“
