These are the best donuts ever. I'm serious. I'm a donut connoisseur, so you can trust me. These are the platonic ideal of donuts.
CassidyNovember 14, 2014just as tasty as the Brooklyn location and with a better selection but also with more tourists to fight over the best flavors. call me crazy but the good old plain glazed is still my favorite.
Donuts the size of your face...literally! But seriously, these are amazing. Light and fluffy and so good! Lemon poppyseed is my favorite but I still have a lot of flavors to try!
ZenFoodsterSeptember 11, 2017Altho' Passionfruit + Blood Orange frostings are tastier than most, doughnuts here are breadier & less sweet which I prefer. IMO, they're still less oily & not as dense than the 1's @ Doughnut Plant.
Kinjil MathurOctober 30, 2014where to begin? Donuts are big, soft and delicious! Earl grey chocolate donut has some a delightful spice. Seasonal pumpkin donuts are the best thing there.
Paige CFebruary 23, 2015Very unique and artisanal flavors - I loved the crunch of the Boston creme and the tartness of the lemon poppy. Get a few to take home!
Skinny Girl EatsJuly 1, 2016Have tried 3 different donuts and all were amazing! The mocha almond is my favorite so far. The texture of the yeast doughnuts is unbelievably good. Definitely must stop in if you visit.
AlAnoud A AlGhunaimNovember 7, 2021Hard to find and the interiors are a bit rusty. MaybeI had high expectations, not sure but I didn’t find the wow factor everyone’s raging about. Tried their Blood Orange and Nutella, all were fine.
Jason SotoNovember 25, 2015Regulars like Salted Chocolate Caramel, Cafe Au Lait, Passion Fruit along seasonal flavors such as Grapefruit Tarragon and Blueberry Lemon are some to try.
Kt LacasseJanuary 6, 2015Loved the hibiscus donut, but I have to bring it back to the classics - chocolate frosted and glazed melt in your mouth. Out of this world.
Stephanie ManwaringMarch 28, 2017My fave donuts. Choco Nibs is #1 (best icing to dough ratio). DucleDeLeche is flavorless to me. Salted Choc is too sticky to enjoy. Hibiscus is pretty, but I would prefer a choc donut vs. flowery.
Lucille FisherSeptember 16, 2015I'm a sucker for doughnuts, not your run of the mill dough but the artisanal kind. Dough offers a good selection, I had the coconut glazed ones but for me Doughnut Plant rules!
Had the dark chocolate ganache type of donut and it was amazing, especially with coffee. Chocolate was smooth and decadent, dough of donut wasn't too sweet, perfect airiness texture.
Celena ChanSeptember 28, 2015My favorites here are the cocoa nib, coconut, glazed and lemon poppy! Can get a bit dense if sitting around so get them fresh!
Cheap Best HiddenDecember 1, 2015Don’t sleep on the glazed you newb. Best judge of a donut place btw- can’t hide behind advanced flavor profiles you sea lions are easily dazed by. Read more
Zayed KhanNovember 7, 2014The earl grey chocolate is way better than I could've imagined of that flavour combo. The nutella doughnut will make you realize you're not tired of nutella, and you probably never will be.
the best donuts in town. seriously. just get a plain glazed and die happy.
Susie YinFebruary 13, 2015They have a variety of flavors and more exotic ins like hibiscus and passion fruit but my absolute favorite is the dulce de leche covered in almond slivers. It's the perfect donut.
Destination: Anywhere & EverywhereDecember 16, 2014These are the most incredible doughnuts! I tried the pumpkin it was soft and airy and the frosting was just right not overly sweet but just enough. I love this place!
joahnnaJuly 28, 2015You can't go wrong with the hibiscus doughnut. I also love the lemon poppy seed and the chocolate earl grey!
HaneenApril 29, 2015Lemon Poppy, cafe au late, mocha almond i guess,three of them were divine, but get your coffee with you, coffee available is just fine
If you are a dough-nut fiend, Dough is a must. Plenty of fluffy and airy doughnuts from this Flatiron outpost.
Leah HammerschlagNovember 7, 2014Dough is perhaps my favorite donut place in manhattan. The plain glazed is simply perfect, all are delicious, but some very rich. However, the service is sooooo slowwww.- ZenFoodsterJune 7, 2015Passionfruit (front) + dulce de leche doughnuts were IMO more tasty & less oily & dense than the ones at the Doughnut Plant.
Olivia FabbroSeptember 30, 2015Such good donuts!! try dulce de leche! Also they also sell these at whole foods!! the one in TriBeCa always has fresh ones stocked but only 3 flavors
Susan S.May 30, 2015I really liked the dulce de leche doughnut. It has tons of flavor and great crunch from all the almond flakes. Sophisticated flavors for doughnuts!
Everything, but if your looking for something different try the Passion Fruit and Hibiscus donuts. They are unlike anything you’ve ever had.
Natalie LeMossApril 19, 2021Such a great variety of donuts, everyone will be happy! Cafe au lait, cinnamon sugar, and passion fruit are my all time faves.- Paige CFebruary 23, 2015We came on a Sunday afternoon and the line moved very fast. Of course there is always going to be a wait - the donuts are fresh and delicious!
Molly AvivaJune 24, 2016They have something for everyone's taste. Good rich donuts. Homemade. You can see into the kitchen! Once you go, you'll never look at Dunkin the same way.
hands down one of the best doughnuts in NYC if you're into bigger, doughier donuts, Cafe Au Lait is awesome + their coffee is great!
Mikahla VicinoJuly 1, 2017Surprisingly not busy for a Saturday morning. Grab a half dozen to try as many flavors as you can. Personal fav so far is dulce de leche
Desiree GMay 12, 2015every donut is the best donut here. I don't know what their secret it but it's in close quarters to Krispy Kreme (with the red light on).
Roger RJune 3, 2016Awesome place..crowded all day but worth the wait. Creme brûlée donut is a work of art. Loved the NY cream (not Boston cream).
Danielle WhitedFebruary 20, 2015Donuts here are amazing! Maybe the best I've had. The dulce de leche was delicious, definitely our favorite. But all of the others we tried were also great.
christine joyOctober 14, 2014HIBISCUS donut was perfectly airy, glazed with a beautiful pink, just-sweet-and-tart-enough icing.
Majed AlashariNovember 18, 2017Delicious doughnuts. They have many flavors which make it difficult to decide what to try
Robert AmezquitaMarch 14, 2015The Mocha Almond Crunch is a delicacy, but you really can't go wrong with anything you choose.
April ArmstrongMay 5, 2017OMG!! If you're a chocolate lover you must get the chocolate salted caramel!! The lemon milkshake cake donut was perfect 😋
PouyaMay 6, 2023Many creative donuts from margaritas (with tequila) to guava cheesecake. But as always the best one is the plain glazed one.
RisaMarch 3, 2016Dough's flavors are pretty yawn-inducing, but their yeast donuts have a heavenly buttery texture that's better than Doughnut Plant's. Skip the cake donuts tho—they're a little dry.
Colin LeeJuly 31, 2017My fav donut shop in NYC; portion is big and better priced than donut plant. The horchata flavor was tasty!
fluffy_passport 🎀May 14, 2017The passion fruit donut is terrific: the mix between sweet and sour is just perfect! The almond leche is great, too!
msMarch 11, 2015I love the dulce de leche and the toasted coconut, but my best friend worships dough for its work with hibiscus. Much recommend- Aly OradyDecember 28, 2014The passion fruit curd stuffed donut I had in September was mine blowing. Like many of their flavors, it's seasonal... So waiting till next year :)
Ivana CMSDecember 17, 2015One of the best doughnuts I've ever had! Big, fluffy and lots of options! Hibiscus and chocolate cocoa nibs were my favourites!
Cheen The CuriousAugust 11, 2022While there is ample seating within the shop, most customers bought donuts to-go
Sam SDecember 21, 2015Cake batter doughnuts are the big hit here, but you won't go wrong with any option.
Marco SousaApril 8, 2015Super fresh doughnuts. Basic sugar cinnamon is the way to go but if you want something different, get the lemon poppy!
