ZenFoodsterOctober 20, 2014Gourmet's stop for donuts made w/ fresh fruit & nuts! My faves:cashew & orange blossom filled (R), PB & blackberry jam filled (front), & Concord grape (not shown). Apple cinnamon (L) tres leches (bk)
Joe MontesFebruary 19, 2016Doughnut Plant claims to have the world’s first square filled donut so I had to get one. The vanilla bean filled with blackberry jam donut was light and airy and the filling was very fresh.
Rewan PartiDecember 14, 2015You can never go wrong with the creme brûlée donut! Also try their vanilla and orange blossom donut! They also have seasonal specials!
Dave SawyerApril 12, 2016The peanut butter & jelly doughnuts are basically like the best slice of morning toast ever. Tres leches are great if a cake donut is more your style. Also, the Kenyan pour over is delicious too.
Danley HuFebruary 11, 2017The coffee is decent but not amazing. However the donuts were YUM. I love coconut and the coconut cream donut is amazing and not overly sweet. The chocolate hazelnut was also good. Bathroom code: 1486
The tres leches doughnut is technically a cake-style doughnut, but it has a sweet custardy filling that makes it super moist. Prefer a yeast doughnut? Then don't miss out on the PB&J flavor!
Rupak DebnathMarch 24, 2018Tried seasonal Pistachio doughnut. Their doughnut is soft and flavourful. It has well balanced flavour. They sell square doughnut, original doughnuts in different flavour and doughnut cake
J SAugust 13, 2014They rarely have the salted peanut donuts or chocolate chip cookie donuts, but if they have them, get them! 🍩
Emiel SondagNovember 9, 2015What's good here? What isn't! We took a selection with us to eat on the High Line. The Creme Brûlée is a must. As well as the Vanilla Bean. Not too sweet, but definitely worth your efforts.
Mariama RentoyAugust 16, 2014Their best seller is the creme brulee and it really is in a league of its own. The other donuts taste good too so try all flavors. The donuts are balanced, and not too sweet. 😉
Heba-I-amSeptember 18, 2017My fave is the blood orange doughflower! Sweet&tangy&it looks pretty. The pb&blackberry jam square was delicious&has a crunch to it.The chocolate pecan is yummy it's sweet&salty & texture is on point- ZenFoodsterOctober 26, 2014Scrumptious concord grape filled (front) & PB & Concord grape jelly filled doughseed (L) donuts- made w/ fresh Concord grapes frm Union Sq Mkt! ;9 Loved these over overly sweet carrot cake (R) donut.
Serious EatsMarch 7, 2013These doughnuts may be pricier than most, but they're worth it. Go for the carrot cake, or the crème brûlée, or the tres leches...oh, who are we kidding, they're all pretty awesome.
Mel CantoriasMay 20, 2018This is always my favorite place for donuts when I’m in Chelsea. This time I had choco-hazelnut. And I always pair it with their black coffee. Sooo good! Thanks for the complimentary donut too.- Heba-I-amSeptember 18, 2017Expensive! But so worth it! One of the best donuts i've had. Let me get this out of the way though the creme brulee isn't that great. It's good but not wow. I could write poetry about the others thoug
Ariane RinehartSeptember 21, 2016Delicious doughnuts in interesting flavors. Right now they have a "Pecha Berry" flavored "Pokéseed" doughnut. *Poison is healed! It's very delicious*
Ted HaennSeptember 7, 2018All of the doughnuts are amazing. The employees always helpful and friendly. They are very accommodating. I picked up 4 dozen doughnuts and 2 boxes of joe and the employees gladly helped me out.
Julia LuAugust 15, 2018The peanut butter jelly one tastes exactly like a peanut butter sandwich. The Brooklyn blackout was chocolaty, dense, and delicious!
- Serious EatsMarch 5, 2013The chocolate chip tastes just like its namesake. The soft cake doughnut is studded with pecans and chocolate chips, then coated in a chocolate glaze and rolled in cookie dust.
Lee FulmerJanuary 3, 2017Ate them too fast to take pictures for this review... whoops! The coconut square was amazing (I actually don't like coconut so I was surprised). But my favorite was definitely the chocolate!
Mila MilaFebruary 15, 2015The doughseeds are the perfect size for a quick and filling snack to satisfy your midday sweet tooth craving. Rose and passion fruit dough seeds!
Libster CJune 10, 2014This location has more seating and better ambiance than the Grand St location. Yes donuts are expensive but so worth it. They have season flavors so take advantage of the while they have it.
Alp OzcelikJune 1, 2014I could eat all the donuts here. Their creme brûlée is amazing! Also love their Brooklyn blackout chocolate donut and the triple chocolate cake donut. Great passion fruit donut as well!
InFOODxicationOctober 14, 2013Hmmm I just can't suggest just one...go with friends and get a few...that's what I did and got to try 4 in one sitting, yum! Pistachio, chocolate, coconut, creme brûlée.....
Mya WashingtonJune 30, 2015Tres Leche doughnut is to die for😍😍😍 and Iced Chai Tea is amazing! Overall a beautiful place with delicious food👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Jerome IbanezNovember 3, 2015Place is stucked beside a hotel so its a bit easy to miss. Everything is delicious especially the creme brulee and pb&j, both of which seems to be almost always sold out!
Nicole ReganFebruary 7, 2016Their cake doughnuts are what makes them amazing, they fill the inside with icing. Not overwhelming, just makes it moist and deliciously. Love the coffee cake one.
Greg KnaussApril 9, 2012Pumpkin Doughnuts in both cake and yeast form. A finish of caramelized pumpkin seeds, nutty and crunchy, iced over in a spiced glaze. The cake one has cozy pumpkin flavor with of cloves and cinnamon.
SusumuJanuary 15, 2015One of the best doughnut shops in NY. Accepts LevelUp payment. You get sometimes great LevelUp deals like $5 credit so you can get a doughnut for free.
The Corcoran GroupFebruary 22, 2011Splurge on doughnuts that are a million times better than Dunkin’. You have to try the Tres Leches, the Crème Brulee and the Blackout Doughnuts. Cash only.
Camila MattosoJanuary 4, 2015Oh my God, the Vanilla bean with jelly doughnut is like being in a paradise for a while. Incredible! Lovely staff!
Martin KRSeptember 13, 2014The best doughnut store in all of NYC. Gets very busy. Do us all a favor and decide what you're gonna get while waiting in line. And check out the bathroom, you'll know why ;-)
G DaniellAugust 10, 2015Creme brûlée doughnuts are the mvp here 👌🏽,but in general the doughnuts here are the mvp doughnuts of NYC,doughnut seed type of doughnuts are a must try
KristiaMarie Pastor BalatbatJuly 14, 2015Go with a big group of people and share a bunch of donuts! They are all super rich but tasty. If I have to tackle one on my own I could only survive the plain vanilla yeast donut LOL
Chad BJune 2, 2018For national donut day, they have this cute but tasty mini donut called the Grand Central mini.
JooriJanuary 12, 2016One downer is that they don't make fresh donuts on site. They get there donuts deliveries from somewhere else and sugar coat it with many different flavors. I just want a fresh plain donut...
Oh so good. Cash or Level Up only, and they tend to run out of the best flavors as the day goes on, so go early for the best selection
TK 🍦🍷September 2, 2014These doughnuts are the Platonic Ideal of doughnuts. After you eat one of these you will never be able to go back to other so-called donut-like substances. It's just not fair how darn good these are!- Ashley HornJanuary 18, 2016If you like filled doughnuts, go for the creme brûlée. If an 'old fashioned' is more your type, pick tres leches. But carrot cake is the all around best!
Nash AlsJune 21, 2017Everyone is talking about the doughnut 🍩 , but seriously one of the best cup of coffees You'll ever have ☕️ 👌
- Søren LouvApril 25, 2017I thought I didn't like doughnuts - this place is unreal! Creme Brulee beats any cake-like thing I've ever tried.
Karl UfertJuly 25, 2011Fab place, fab doughnuts & awesomely-cute servers (!), just a stone's throw away, but I can't go often. Yummy carbs+cute=disaster! Now, how to have the cute w/o having the delish carbs too often? :-P
Honghui YuMarch 14, 2016Their seasonal flavors have never disappointed, but if those don't strike your fancy, the creme brulee doughseed is always reliably delicious
Kay TeoMarch 19, 2015Small and expensive doughnuts but so worth it. Delicious flavor combinations, perfect yeasty dough.
Josh AFebruary 9, 2016Wow amazing. Excellent selection and unique flavors. Passion fruit was awesome. The chai was also delicious. Must go back!
Alexandre FormagioOctober 6, 2015Just the BEST doughnuts in New York (or maybe in United States). Try tres leches and blueberry. These flavors are awesome!
SwanieDecember 3, 2015Love the peanut and BlackBerry jam donut. Also love the carrot cake donut. Went there at 9p.m and the donuts were still so fresh.
Daniel BarnettNovember 8, 2014Great place for a doughnut and a coff... well, forget the coffee. 4 of us got one, iced, hot, they were really bad. Stick with the excellent doughnuts.
Jinnie LApril 13, 2015Their creme brulee donut is really good♡ I spend about $35 for dozen donuts- splurge for sure but pretty worth it!!!
