50 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!!“

“This place rocks. Simple, clearly labelled donuts including lovely old style options and some vegan ones too. Not over sweetened - generous, sure, but you pay for what you get - and in the US it's great to avoid just getting a tonne of sugar glaze. Highly recommend - indoor and outdoor seating“

“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.“

“We came to NYC for vacation and how refreshing to be able to find a location that is dedicated to those that suffer from allergy restrictions. My son usually wherever we go has to either have plain vanilla ice cream or forgo any type of treat because it’s just not safe. Tough as so many amazing treats to have in NYC. To be able to walk in and to have the so many amazing, delicious donuts to select from that were safe for him was one of biggest highlights on our trip. The location is charming, clean, and right off of the subway line. So easy to get to and the staff was so kind and engaging. I highly recommend a stop here, especially if you suffer from food allergies! I wish more places would take a note from their book and have such a wide range of tasty treats that are safe for everyone! Thank you Donut Pub for being the shining example of what food that is inclusive for everyone can look like!“

“Born and raised in NYC and was skeptical about this Cali spot coming here. Loved it. Staff is great too. Chris realized there was a mistake in my order and the next time I visited he made sure to rectify it and then some. Great donuts, great store and staff.“

“This place is a must visit! The donuts are delicious! So airy and melt in your mouth. Great flavors. Highly recommend the mango cardamom lassi! Heard great things about the chai and lemonade so will try those next. And Gigi is super nice! New favorite haunt for sure. I love the personable vibe too.“

“Best vegan chocolate croissant! Since the closure of Le Petit Monstre & L’impremiere, it was difficult to find a place that makes authentic and proper vegan croissants. Unregular nails it. Also had an excellent plant-based SEC on a round croissant. Excellent! Makes me wonder why they don’t just make everything vegan, no one would notice. Please open a vegan location in Williamsburg!“

“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.

“definitely recommend it.“

“I’m donut? gets 5 stars from me. 🍩 The texture is what makes it different—super soft and chewy inside, with a slight crunch on the outside.

It’s definitely not your typical-style donut, and that’s exactly why I enjoyed it so much.

If you’re a donut lover and want to try something a little different, this is a must-try. 👍😋“

“I am seriously addicted! The Iced Oat Latte is some of the best I’ve had. Maybe even the best I’ve had. It’s an amazing local spot. The price point is steep but worth it in my opinion. It’s a cozy atmosphere and the baristas are always very welcoming!“

“Good healthy and delicious smoothies with no sugar added. Keep up the good work! Clapping 👏 👏 👏 thumbs up! 👍I bought a small cup of a Good, healthy and delicious #Soursop smoothie with no sugar added in New York City tonight! I really enjoyed this delicious and healthy fruit smoothie! Keep up the good work! Keep it going!

“Delicious donuts, and they have both vegan and non-vegan options.“

“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 ❤️“

“Love this place! The sandwiches are authentic and very delicious. They have a big variety of drinks and other Asian street food, like Korean cheese corn dogs. It can take a while for you to get your food, but other than that, I will definitely keep coming back!“

“Todas!❤️❤️❤️❤️🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩😃😃😃😃“

“Súper ricas las doughnuts 🍩❤️“

“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.“

“I had a great experience at Dunkin’ Donuts! The service was quick and friendly, and my order was made exactly how I like it. The coffee was fresh, smooth, and perfectly balanced—not too strong, just right for an everyday pick-me-up. The donuts were soft, fresh, and full of flavor, especially the classic glazed.

I also love how convenient and affordable everything is, making it an easy go-to spot for busy mornings. The staff kept things moving efficiently while still being polite and welcoming. Overall, a reliable place for good coffee, tasty treats, and fast service. Definitely recommend! ☕🍩“

“A little slow service, but the rest is great! 😊“

“Fully-vegan donut shop with small and regular sizes of each of the flavors. They let us sample a whole little donut as we were deciding! Loved the crème brûlée the best but also really liked Cookie Monster. Only the crème brûlée one was filled with custard. Updated from previous review on 2026-09-08“

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

“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! 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩“

“Amazing mochi donuts and huge strawberries! I highly recommend the strawberries glazed with caramelized sugar — they were incredible and tasted just like the ones in Japan. The mochi donuts were also very good, filled with different cream flavors. Great quality and definitely worth trying.“

“thankful they're finally open again.“

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

“Simply fresh and exquisite“

“We went for the donuts! Since they have vegan options. They were amazing but we kept coming back for the coffee! The best one we had in the city. The staff is always more than nice, we usually came when Rakeem was there, and he always greeted us with so much joy and kindness! Our favorite daily stop in Manhattan!“

“I’ve had a consistently great experience at this Dunkin. The store is clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. A special shoutout to the manager, Ayesha, who always takes the time to say hello and makes customers feel appreciated. She cares about both the team and the customer experience. Great service, great atmosphere, and always a pleasant stop for my coffee!“

“The people are great and hard working. It’s a very busy area and they do their best to manage everyone, to provide the best service. I always go there to get my iced caramel latte and I’m always greeted. Everyone’s friendly, and I would say people who have negative views really have to understand the perspectives of those providing the service to the community. Other than that, I’ll continue to come here!“

“I’ve been going to this Dunkin seems like forever, staff are great, especially 2 that know how I like my coffee, and I do not have to repeat myself,.
The 2 outstanding staff are Tohura and Tuly, excellent workers I see them everyday, always pleasant.
Lastly, they have my favorite radio station on which is K-Love FM 95.5
I would recommend this location to anyone.“

“I love Krispie Kreme doughnuts are the best and made even better when decorated for the holidays with a ‘Peanuts’ theme. I had three doughnuts, the Santa Suit filled with white cream, the Snoopy head filled with a cinnamon cream and a traditional glazed raspberry filled doughnut, which was loaded with glaze. Each one was delicious in its own way and so beautifully decorated. I thought the ‘Peanuts’ theme was pretty unique and all of the doughnuts were fresh and delicious.“

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

“The cake here is my husbands favorite so it was no question I had to get his birthday cake here. I placed an online custom cake order and the process was simple and easy. Fast forward to picking up his cake and wow. It was executed flawlessly. It was exactly how I asked for it to be done and received many compliments.“

“Just had one of the best cold brews I’ve ever tasted, topped with a homemade sweet cold cream (I had no idea that was even a thing). Absolutely incredible from the first sip to the last. Definitely a must-visit spot if you’re a coffee lover. But the sign was a big reason why I came in, caught my attention..“

“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“

“Obviously just judging them on the quality as a Dunkin, they’re doing ok but still finding their footing. Maybe it’s just me, but the coffee tastes fresher at the other UWS Dunkin locations — and the employees here seem perpetually lost. But they’re improving over time so I think they’ll be a great location in the end.“

“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!”“

“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“

“I get a latte here anywhere from one to four times a week depending on how much time I have to spare in the morning. It's a commuter hub location. Sometimes it's chill. Sometimes it's very busy. I've been going there for over two years now.

I'm really impressed with the staff. Regardless of how much chaos the morning brings the team at this Dunkin is just awesome. Always a smile. Always attention to customers who are waiting. I have been a Dunkin morning latte drinker for over a decade and this is the most consistent location I've been to.

Thanks to the team here for doing a great job every day.“

“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 🇨🇦“

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

“I tried the Strawberries N’ Creme Cloud Dunkalatte, and even though it was very sweet, I absolutely loved it,it’s totally my kind of drink! This location gets extremely busy during the morning rush, but the service was still quick and efficient. I also noticed they have so many new drink options now. I normally don’t go to Dunkin’ that often, but I really enjoyed my experience and would definitely come back!“

“(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.“

“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.“

“7 years ago when I use to live in manhattan I use to get breakfast from this place almost every other day. Egg and cheese in sesame bagel. They always knew what I wanted. It's been 7 years and I never had such great bagel sandwich prepared with love.“

“I went in this morning, Sunday, Dec 28, 2025 around 9:20 AM, after my usual cheap morning coffee place was closed. I expect a certain consistency to the original glazed donut, and this was certainly met, but the service I received went above and beyond. There was only one employee visible behind the counter but he greeted me enthusiastically and earnestly wished me a good day at the end of our transaction. All this alongside an efficient yet careful pace of service. I would never expect a particularly deep level of care from fast food service of any kind and I would never complain if I received curt service in a place like Krispy Kreme, especially not in the morning on the weekend with only one employee manning the counter; this particular employee however deserves commendation for his friendly and personable service. His service was a high point in my lethargic journey to my own job.

As mentioned, the food and drink met the reasonable standard I would expect from Krispy Kreme. The restaurant was also very clean.“

“Gloria is the best one of the kind employee I ever saw in any of the Dunkin. The way she treats coustmers and handling the food order and everything and there was other guy and the coordination between them while sharing the work. And ambience is amazing. I recommend to my Frnds as well.“

“excelente servicio siempre“

“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.“
