"Unlike most of the places on this list, Kora doesn’t have a physical storefront. In order to get a box of their Filipino-inspired doughnuts, you have to visit their website, when orders open on Saturdays at 12pm, then pick up your desserts the next Saturday at their makeshift window in Long Island City. The process is kind of a hassle, but it’s 100% worth it. At $37.50 for a box of five, the doughnuts aren’t the cheapest in the city—but you aren’t going to mistake this place for Dunkin’. Past highlights have included a brioche doughnut with a whole flan embedded in the middle, and a perfect, sticky ube doughnut stuffed with ube custard." - neha talreja, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus, carlo mantuano
