48 Best Donuts in New York

“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!!“

“Delicious and fresh donuts!! We had a dozen for a work birthday party and the whole team loved them. The options at the bakery all looked delicious and just walking in you smell the sweet but natural taste. They have gluten options I must come back for. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“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.“

“A welcome doughnut shop to Bleecker St in Greenwich Village. The “long John with cream” was a bit of a disappointment for me (it’s got a very thick coating of chocolate on the outside and custard inside, not vanilla cream), but the glazed buttermilk made up for it. I’ll go back to try more varieties.“

“definitely recommend it.“

“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.

“Todas!❤️❤️❤️❤️🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩😃😃😃😃“

“There is only one place that ever made a better chai, and they are no longer in business. This is the closest I’ve ever come to reliving that glorious chai. London fog was good with beautiful smelling earl grey. Lavender latte was perfect! Cheese danish is awesome, as was the cheddar biscuit. Only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the cherry scone. Just didn’t have much flavor. Everything was amazing otherwise. Super chill vibe. Everyone seems to know each other and everyone knows the baristas, which is cool. They definitely have regulars for a reason. Thanks for starting my day off right during my visit!“

“Súper ricas las doughnuts 🍩❤️“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Simply fresh and exquisite“

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

“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.“

“Bonjour cofe mon le sabo gus“

“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.“

“Dan was so generous with our organization, and his donuts were delicious! We can't thank him enough. Highly recommend!! Thanks Dan“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Simply fresh and exquisite“

“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! 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩“

“These were the best glazed donuts I have ever had. They melted in my mouth!! 💖“

“Oh My! I had an Amazing first Krispy Kreme experience! Kevin was fantastic! I tried my very first “original” donut and my knees got weak. My mouth watered and it was amazing. Ayanna was our cashier and she was fantastic! Thank you 🙏 from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦“

“(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.“

“Cake was great- the chocolate mousse was amazing, donuts were delicious.
I ordered online and only issue was at pick up, it seemed they had no idea what I was talking about. After 5-10 minutes though, they came out with my order already boxed up.“

“Staff was joyous and helpful and all around wonderful - made some great suggestions and took home some real winners - MUST GET the creme brûlée puffs (gorgeous and vegan - how do they do it?!). The donuts are soft, puffy and fluffy - the earlier you go the better! Husband loved these too! So happy we stopped in and got so many - also ref the pistachio and the strawberry but every flavor is amazing! Any believe the entire menu is vegan/plant-based, so impressive - you'd never know!!!!“

“I’ve been coming here for 2 years multiple times a week and every single time I come it’s always very clean, they always have what I want in stock, and everything always comes out very quickly. The service is always great and when I do mobile order my order is always ready by the time I get to the store.

Dietary restrictions: Option for different milks and if you want caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee“

“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 .“

“Yesenia also known as Yessi is amazing! She’s always so friendly and welcoming, and she makes the best coffee every time. She really brightens my mornings with her kindness and great service. The rest of the staff are also fantastic fast, helpful, and always polite. This Dunkin’ has one of the best teams around!”“

“excelente servicio siempre“

“Great Dunkin. Good Cashier's. Yummy Foods. Good Prices. Large Menu Selection. Close to Supermarkets / Local Stores/Shops.“

“I visit this Dunkin multiple times a week, I've been coming to this location since I moved to Spanish Harlem. It's honestly the best location I've been to! The quality is constant, the staff are super friendly and it's the cleanest I've seen! Shout-out to Tully in the morning, she always knows the donuts my son likes and makes sure to greet him just like all the adult customers!“

“I don’t know why people complain a lot as much as I see they try their best since their store is pretty busy sometimes it does got late but they are so friendly and kind they always help finding orders and explain everything all over they’re so nice with everyone.“

“The workers are so friendly and provide excellent service especially Adil and Anamul. They’re so nice and really care about what customers want. Atmosphere is clean and spacious. They have a big selection of icecream, donuts, and drinks. They’re quick with your order and provide great quality.“

“It is always a pleasure to pop in and have a
Beverage the gentleman are so nice and
They remember you with great enthusiasm and service. I appreciate
The quality of service they deliver.
Thank you so much for being exceptional.“

“Walked in to get a donut and was pleased to get a very friendly vibe by Mr. Sadman. Super chill service. Will definitely stop by more often. I honestly don't know what the other reviews are talking about when they say "rude staff". They must have gone away or something. 1000/10“

“Vegan Dunkin Donuts. Who knew. I come here often since moving to New York, and I've never known that Dunkin Donuts had vegan options. At least this location. There's also a Baskin-Robbins. This will be in my favorites throughout the week.“

“Basic, small Dunkin shop. What made this a good visit was the staff member sweeping, the staff member who asked whether I needed to order or had a mobile order. Two minutes later, I had a piping hot chai latte. I was greeted by both staff members and my beverage was tasty.“

“This location has a great team of staff members they were inviting they informed me about the saving promotions and perks benefits it was clean well organized great costumer service this is my new location to get my doughnuts from thanks to the great service.“
