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.

Phenomenal! Lovely staff and delicious, high quality products. Great to have a neighborhood donut shop that isn’t a big chain

Very good donuts! Fresh, fluffy with a balanced icing. We had the chocolate one and the one with lemon filling. Yummy! ?

Small place and depending on the donut, they can be a little pricey, but I've always had great service and DELICIOUS donuts! I rarely leave reviews but seriously, the donuts are SO good.

Expensive. But the donuts are so fresh and absolutely delicious. Cronut was good. Coffee and crème brûlée were amazing. Jelly ones great and the dulce de leche sweet and tasty. It’s a nice treat to have.Kid-friendliness: Very friendly staff.

Walked into Caroline's and was immediately greeted by the chef/owner who couldn't have been any nicer. I ordered a creme brûlée donut which was perfectly perfect: the dough, the filling....oh the filling... I almost considered getting another one but decided against it this time around. Definitely coming back. This was a 10 experience for sure. I've now tried three different flavors: Nutella, creme brûlée, and orange cream cheese. I am a total Nutella girlie, can never get enough, can have it in large quantities.... surprisingly as amazing as the Nutella donut was, it was not my favorite of the three that I tried. The orange cream cheese and the creme brûlée were absolutely fantastic. I also love how pleasant every person at the register is, super friendly and personable. I'll definitely be trying more flavors.

4 stars for the good donuts, 1-2 stars for the not so good. If you want to stop reading now I'll get to the point: Boston Cream is incredible. I haven't tried everything yet but the basics are not very good - the glazed, the simple sugar donut. They are too doughy and bland and I hate to say it, not sweet enough, and they didn't strike me as that fresh. For $5 for a single donut it should be warm and incredible. Maybe this has made me realize for simple flavors I prefer cake donuts. The cronuts are also disappointing. Cronuts should be incredibly light but have a crisp and chewy sweet crunch. These were just like plain donuts, and for $6. You're better off doing glazed Krispy Kreme. Now for the good - the filled donuts. The Nutella was great. I think I had a raspberry that was excellent. And then the pinnacle - the Boston cream. Worth visiting the shop for. Perfectly greasy, delectable pastry cream filling, smooth chocolate icing.

Want a tasty donut...head to Caroline's...so good. Nice soft bite with beautiful toppings. Staff is super nice. Small place with big flavors.
Finally stopped in while running some errands. The coffee was hot and as requested. The coffee donut was hearty and delicious! The staff was friendly and up to chat with customers n their experiences.
I ordered actually 5. I had already eaten the creme brulee which was amazing. I also got the raspberry, coconut, dulce de leche and the lemon donut. My family said they've never had such a delicious and amazing donut. Hands down the best donuts I've

Although famous for their donuts - Caroline’s has one of the best hot chocolate in NY! It’s rich, thick and perfectly sweet! Highly

Wavering between a 3 and 4. Some of their donuts are really good and some I am not so sure about. I have had most of them. Glazed - forgettable Strawberry filled - I really liked this one Key Lime - true to the name, but not sure if it is worth the price tag Bostom Cream - I liked this one, great flavor and dough Rasberry iced - I liked this except I don't like the Meringue on top Chocolate - I liked this classic I usually return because there are not many donut shops up here.

Fresh, flavorful donuts that you simply cannot find anywhere else. There is nothing quite like biting into a warm Caroline's donut on a Saturday morning. Each flavor is so well thought out with a complex profile. My favorites are the braided glazed which are light & airy inside and the Boston cream with a not-too-sweet pastry cream filling & rich Belgian chocolate topping. These are always a hit!
