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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I stayed at a hotel next door and I am so happy I had a chance to come into Unregular Bakery. I’ve had many almond croissants and when I tried theirs.. it’s one of the best I’ve ever had!! I also got a regular croissant and their cute mini croissants on skewers YUM
I didn’t get her name but there was the nicest woman working in the morning yesterday 10/15! Whoever that was thank you for a great experience, I’ll definitely be back“

“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.“

“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.“

“Súper ricas las doughnuts 🍩❤️“

“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. 👍😋“

“Todas!❤️❤️❤️❤️🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩😃😃😃😃“

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

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

“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!

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“9.9/10
We arrived to the Maddison square garden after a long morning of walking around in the big city. When we arrived, we decided to look what can we eat nearby, so we checked on Google Maps and found out that there is a Krispy Kreme just under it, we went down and there it was, heaven literally heaven. (I mean, I certainly hope heaven doesn't have the scent of sewage but what can you do)
Let's stop for a second, I got a philosophic question for you, ready?
What is luxury?
Socrates might say it’s a life of wisdom. Aristotle might call it the pursuit of virtue. But let’s be honest, none of those guys ever ate a hot, fresh Krispy Kreme Original Glazed.
They say money can’t buy happiness, and luxury is merely an illusion. To that, I present my counter argument, a dozen warm Krispy Kreme donuts for under fifteen bucks. Checkmate, Kant.
In conclusion, I'll certainly come back for another box of a dozen warm Krispy Kreme donuts“

“Simply fresh and exquisite“

“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!“

“thankful they're finally open again.“

“So good, so tasty. I was just walking around SoHo and BAM!!! Cloudy Donut, I had to go in and grab a snack. I had the pistachios donut, so good. A bit medium size of a donut for the cost, but the taste and gooeyness was just want you needed. It was over the top but a solid great donut.

The staff were so polite and gave a great breakdown on the choices. Very clean and quiet location. It’s definitely worth a try. I learn a bit about the location and owner, and it was just a pleasant experience.

I will definitely be back.

Now I know where it is, if in the area it’s a great place to stop by. My only feedback is the box given with donuts is too plain. I felt it could have more, especially since there were not bag to put said box in. A bit of added marketing on the box or instead of the stamp, have some cloudy Donut stickers to go on the side of the box and location or to have it help seal the top of the box, as if I am walking through SoHo and I have a box of these delicious donuts and someone ask me where to go or what the name and see something representing it, I could be like go there and get some tasty donuts. :).

I recommend giving it a try.“

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

“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! 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩“

“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.“

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

“I had a great experience at Dunkin’! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service. My order was prepared quickly and made exactly how I wanted it. The coffee was fresh, the food was delicious, and everything was clean and well organized. You can really tell that the team cares about their customers and takes pride in their work. Definitely a great place to stop by for your morning coffee or a quick bite. I’ll absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend! ☕🍩“

“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 love this cafe the energy and vibe is amazing !! The coffee is fresh always, don’t second guess this cafe, forget Dunkin or Starbucks, this is the go to spot for your morning afternoon and evening runs also the croissants are amazing I can’t get enough of them !!! Out of 10 I rate this 100 !!!“

“Fun place for a quick snack. The menu has a little bit of everything—mochi donuts, Jongro rice hot dogs, candied fruit, and drinks. Of course, we had to try several of the donuts. I loved the soft, chewy texture—it’s completely different from a regular donut and so good. Black sesame was my favorite. Rich and nutty without being too sweet!“

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

“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 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!“

“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 🇨🇦“

“The manager is very nice, and she’s sexy as hell!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This review is specifically for Sabina who I met years ago and is simply a joy and delight to see. She’s lovely, great at her job and always makes my coffee perfectly. The Dunkin’ itself is a quick grab and go place but the donuts are fresh and I’m never waiting for very long. The best location in the city in my opinion.“

“(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.“

“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’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 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.“

“Yesterday I placed an online order, by some error on the system it showed “store was closed”. I come today to the store, placed a new order and asked about a solution of yesterday’s issue. Uddin the manager was extremely polite and professional and gave me yesterday’s order without hesitation, that’s customer service and that’s a GREAT MANAGER, keep going like that Uddin, and thanks“

“I Just Went In To An Butter Pecan Iced Coffee And 2 Donuts For $2.00 It Was A Good Experience The Cashier Working That day Was Very Friendly.“

“I recommend coming here if you are in the area and need a quick delicious coffee or breakfast. Customers service was great, the two gentlemen that helped me were so kind and friendly. my BEC in a Croissant was made just how I like it and the coffee is delicious. The place wasn’t crowded and I was able to have a seat and enjoy my breakfast. Will be coming back if i’m ever in the area again. Thank you so much.“

“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!“

“they made my follow my order from the mobile app“

“I dont review DD’s usually but the guy who was working this morning was awesome. Funny and kind and I had my coffee in less than a minute. Not sure if he was the owner but he was personable and double checked to make sure my order was right - I should have asked his name!“
