Dough Doughnuts Brooklyn

What made this place amazing was the staff. Shivonne (sorry if misspelled) took our phone in order and was so patient. She remembered us when we picked up and our order was perfect. The doughnuts 🍩 are top quality and you can tell from the taste. Although if you’re not into yeast donuts, this may not be the place for you. We will come back, if only for the great and efficient service.

Dough has a special place in my heart. I was 22 and working at Union Square and often went to their 19th street location for a treat. My favorite was always their seasonal cheesecake donut and would order 8-12 at a time for family and friends. Now nearly 10 years later, running into them at Smorgasbord is like seeing an old friend and I have to stop by. I recently got the lemon blueberry and it was fantastic. The donut itself had a sharp lemon flavor and the blueberry icing compliments it perfectly. I hope to try their new flavors soon.

LOVE these doughnuts. Not too sweet, they are light, fluffy, and fresh. Can’t go wrong and there’s great vegan options 💚

I tried the mango coconut today. It was delicious! I don’t really have a “go-to” donut here so I like to try whatever I’m in the mood for and today it was one of their seasonal donuts. The kids go the hibuscus, as usual. Both were good today but the hibuscus was just a tad softer, which I’m sure varies by day/batch.

Very good doughnuts with interesting flavors. The dough itself is pretty different than the chain doughnuts like Dunkin or Krispy Kreme, found it to be very soft and lighter. The glaze we had was Blueberry Lemon with Oat Crumbles and it was delicious. It was a bit too sweet for me but otherwise very good combination of flavors. Vegan options are available for select flavors

The cashier was super supportive over the phone and in person. I placed an order for pick up, and she was really patient and helpful in my choosing my last donut. The Donuts from here are heavenly, and I'm glad I tried it at Smorgasbord first, so then I knew how amazingly soft and chewy they were. Such wonderful flavor combinations. My BF thoroughly enjoyed his birthday Donuts!❤️🔥💯

Update 2 years after: still excellent and try the seasonal flavors. * Cheesecake with Graham crackers: generous cream cheese topping, really great flavor. Massive and shared it - so good! Must try Excellent hefty donuts! If you’re used to commercial fast food chain donuts, this is 3 times the size of those but still soft and chewy. Favorites are Mocha-Almond Crunch and Nutella. A friend really enjoyed the Hibiscus donut, unique to this place They have seasonal flavors and Vegan donuts. Friendly and efficient staff as well.

Amazong customer service, employee was super nice and donuts are some of the best I've ever had, will definetly be coming back

Very pleased with my Vegan donuts that I grabbed from here. I love that they even have Vegan options. The only options that they have so far are plain glaze and cinnamon sugar. But I'm hopeful that there will be more vegan flavors in the near future. **crosses fingers** You can't really tell that there were alternative ingredients used in both of the donuts. I got a hint of something citrusy or sour-like every now and then but I feel like if you're used to having vegan sweet treats then you know it's whatever they used as their egg alternative. It wasn't off putting at all! I really did enjoy both donuts. Something that was a plus for me is that both weren't overly sweet. It was the perfection level of sweetness... one that you don't have to be guilty about. I wanted to try the other donuts but I was past my dairy intake levels already. Whenever I don't have too much dairy in my week, I'll definitely be back to try out the other flavors. I should add that I'm not vegan but I enjoy vegan desserts and pastries because I do have a dairy intolerance. More of an acne issue rather than a stomach issue. It's so unfortunate but I love finding places like Dough that have vegan options. I went on a Thursday afternoon during one of my work breaks. I arrived to an empty store (which I very much prefer lol). So service was super quick for me!! However, I have heard of this place being really busy. Especially during morning rush and the weekends. The space is pretty awesome. I love that it is parent-kid friendly; they have seating for kids and some items for them to play with. It makes my mommy heart happy whenever I see a place tailoring to parents and their kids.

It's a cute place.. idk y I didn't read yelp 1st.. I was slippin ..please remember the name "DOUGH"because that is what you'll be eating a piece of thick dough. had a 5 mile walk so we thought we deserved a doughnut and opted for this place. They had a lot of variety one strawberry shortcake glaze and dulce . All the donuts taste like a thick cake that needed butter, I like an airy light donut. I wouldn't come back here. I don't like cake for a doughnut. And all the donuts are $5.65 basically because you're getting like a mini piece of cake no thanks

I love this Dough location! I never encounter any lines, and the service is speedy. The donuts are around $5-6. They have inside seating and you can always find a seat.

My first time visiting this location and it won't be my last! We got the cocoa nibs and the dulce de leche donuts. Both were very tasty! The donuts were more cake-y and yeasty so they were more on the heavy side. The interior had a cute seating area, which wasn't crowded. Overall, a great place to come to share a couple of donuts.

Amazing doughnuts the staff is super friendly and nice. Got there right before closing and was able to snag a passion fruit with coco nibs and a mango coconut! Donuts are always chewy not overly sweet with a nice glaze.

Very quick and friendly service! The shop smells of warm coffee beans and sugar. I ordered two donuts a chocolate covered with chocolate flakes. And a dulce de leche. Both were super dense in texture and had a light crust on the outside. I love each flavor equally!

I want more berry and tropical flavors but you cannot go wrong at Dough! Big, luscious, pillowy yeasty donuts, artisinally glazed with flavors that include Mango Coconut, Dulce de Leche, Blueberry Lemon, Strawberry Shortcake and Hibiscus. One will get you right, a box must be shared. Plenty of flavors for everyone to enjoy. Bring your paycheck, as you're gonna pay half of the mortgage for these delights but they're well worth every penny!

Love it! Still trying to understand the reason I have never visited this bakery pastry coffee shop in the past. I am truly mad at myself. Great customer service and wonderful creative doughnut assortments. I ordered a cappuccino with almond milk. Yes it was hot and delicious. I wanted to try the Vegan doughnut options so I went for the Vegan Hibiscus donut. It was an internal battle with choosing between the hibiscus or macha cheesecake. When I say delicious and mouth watering I ate it so slow. I wanted to truly savor the moment. There were options to sit inside but I opted for outdoor seating. This allowed me to truly soak in the sun and simply be a true New Yorker. How else can one, people watch and dog watch. It was really Courteous for store manager to put a little bowl of water for puppy friends. Great experience and delicious treats. Now I have to walk the block to burn a few calories.

I'm not a huge fan of these. They are "cake-y" and very heavy and have a strange aftertaste. It seems only the frosting varies among the flavors. The service was very nice. It's more of a takeout place; there's a bench and I think only one table.

Great tasting donuts and well worth the price. You only need about a quarter piece. I love their assortment of flavors. My favorite is the poppy seed or passion fruit. Visited about three times so far and was always pleased.

Finally found the elusive passionfruit donuts that I have been looking for for months. They're 5.65 each, bought two because they are such a hard flavor to come by and are out when I go to the other locations, and the spot that used to be at time out market in dumbo is no longer there. Quick service, there is no minimum on card and server was friendly. There is a service charge when using credit card.

My son loves donuts, so I figured it was time to elevate his experience from the standard to the extraordinary -- in both size and flavor. I just couldn't get him to try something other than strawberry, which they did not have at the time. I, on the other hand, tried the cafe au lait and mango. I preferred the tropical flavor, but would definitely recommend visiting earlier in the day because the options are more limited by mid-afternoon. I have my eye on the hibiscus, nutella, chocolate-cocoa nib, mocha-almond crunch, dulce de leche -- almonds, toasted coconut, and passion fruit for next time. I am glad that this location is much closer than the Franklin Avenue one, but not directly in my backyard or I'd be in serious trouble with this sweet tooth.

Nothing much to say about Dough: now a Brooklyn institution, they recently opened a new store on Vanderbilt Ave. in Prospect Heights. Their menu feature their all year-round flavors such as plain glazed, hibiscus, dulce de leche, mocha-almond crunch, nutella, etc... plus seasonal flavors and also vegan options. When I visited the seasonal flavor was the Brooklyn chocolate blackout, which is not currently available on their on-line menu. Unfortunately at 11am it was already sold out. We had the hibiscus, mocha-almond crunch, and the red velvet cheesecake. I'm not a huge fan of doughnuts in general, as the inside is a bit dry for me, the outside often greasy, and the glaze overpowering. These doughnuts, though, were very balanced: the glaze was very rich without being overpowering, and the inside was fluffy[1]. Perhaps the mocha-almond crunch was the one I liked the best, as I could taste the coffee flavor but also everything else. Do you like doughnuts? What are you waiting for, then?! -------------------- [1] Albeit still a bit dry.

WELCOME BACK TO BROOKLYN!!! However, I don't appreciate that this spot is two blocks away from my house. When it was on Lafayette & Franklin I would go every other month or two...but now that I'll be passing it almost everyday, my waistline is in serious trouble! The good thing is it takes me a few days to eat one soooo I guess I got lucky there. I've missed the Nutella and Cafe Au Lait donuts!! Yes, I know you can get it at retailers, but there's nothing like a fresh one from the actual spot. The spot is definitely bigger than the previous locale. Its weird that its no longer Joyce ( previous yummy spot), but I digress. I'm hoping when covid decides it's done that we'll be able to lounge there with a coffee and donut. The staff were super polite and sweet, which makes the buying experience even better. Yay to having yet another reason to add 20 mins to my workout. SIGH

Despite stopping by during evening hours, doughnut seemed fresh and soft. Tried the toasted coconut, no filling or cream as I'd expected but still good. Small selection of kombucha and drinks that were also interesting. Some inside seating and maybe 1-2 cafe tables. Efficient and friendly staff.

Let me start by saying what a joy the gentleman at the counter was. Super friendly and helpful. Also, this establishment was super clean and very cold on a very hot summer day. Now as for the donuts, eh. I didn't really care for them and I LOVE donuts. In my opinion, they are too bready and too big. I felt like I was eating a roll with toppings.

I tried this new location. I've been going to the original location on Franklin for 10 years before they closed down. I'm not sure if this is a different owner or they changed their recipe, but it's much more dense than the original. Though I must say the customer service was friendly and upbeat.

What's better than donuts on a rainy day?! I can think of a few....but that's not for this page....don't judge me lol. Anyway, I've been anxious to go to Dough for a while now and finally made it there today. Let's start with the aesthetics of the store, which was very charming. I wish, however, I could say the same for the customer service. I was a bit overwhelmed with all the delicious choices of donuts and started placing my order but was abruptly interrupted by..."How many do you want?" I replied, I'm not sure....and proceeded to place my order (ended up with 4). Anyway, I taste tested all 4 and from my first bite I was in love. They are fluffy and moist and each flavored donut lived up to their name. If you have a sweet tooth like myself, you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend. Enjoy!

I can't believe I've never reviewed this place, it's my absolute favorite donut shop! I first heard about them through smorgasburg although last time I went they weren't there so not sure if they are still a part of the event. The donuts here are delicious and fluffy and changed my entire outlook on what a good donut is. They are a bit pricey ($5-6 last time I went) but the size is worth the price! I've been to about 3 of their locations and have never had any issues with service. All the flavors are fantastic and unique. Highly recommend!!

Fluffy and soft interior topped with the perfect amount of glaze. Exactly as you want a donut to be! Interesting seasonal flavors w/ vegan options too.

I spent $30 on five donuts. I am really sad when they had their storefront on Lafayette. It always seemed fresh and delicious. This is the second time I went to the Vanderbilt store and the second time I got dry, almost day-old like donuts. Just not the same

So happy to have Dough in the neighborhood. I'm not a huge donut fan, but when I do have one... this cakey style is my favorite. I had to try a few different flavors (which were good) but honestly their classic glazed was my favorite. Will definitely go again! My also point of confusion is that they open later than I would expect for a donut shop. I'm very limited on when I can pop in to get one, because when I walk past on my way to the train in the morning (around 8am) they are still not open. But that's no reason to not give 5-stars!

Besides the choices at this donut shop, there is nothing worthy of many stars here. The donuts are grossly overpriced. We got 4 for $24. They are all basically the same thick bread-y donut, each just coated in a different gourmet coating. Too much bread, not enough coating. Nothing to brag about at all. Every business can get away marking up prices here because of location. I don't know how this got great reviews. I think Dunkin has better donuts, certainly taste and value!

Great donuts. They are the kind of donuts I like . Bouncy, soft sponge-like texture, not too sweet dough. I'm deducting 1 star because it was still a bit drier and denser than I like a donut to be, and also it was $4.50 which is kind of a lot for one donut!!

Best donuts in town BABY. The hibiscus is a must-try, but so are all of the donuts here. The cocoa nibs is the best chocolate icing I've ever had on a donut. I used to always be late to work because the craving for Dough would hit and there was no stopping.

Dough is back! The original dough which was founded in BKLYN is back in prospect heights. Opening day set the stage for brooklynites giving the shop love as the line was down the block all day. Now to the doughnuts. I am not a huge fan of many doughnuts to be honest but these ingredients are quality. They are quite dense and large. I am unsure how one would eat the whole thing in one sitting. 5 stars for flavors 3 stars with how big and heavy they are. Also the staff are nice and cordial. This place will crush in the neighborhood.

We have been doing tastings of the different donut shops in NY and today we decided to try Dough. These donuts are huge and heavy, which now I understand why they are on the pricier side. They are nice looking. To me, this isnt a donut. It is dense and dry, more like a sweet breakfast bread or brioche type. I would say it is more of a pastry. I definately should have gotten a cup of coffee to dunk it in. I couldnt eat a whole donut.

This is the worse smelling and looking Dough I ever entered. It smells terrible and it's dirty! Like why?! Why can't Brooklyn have a decent DOUGH like the ones on the city?! This place is DISGUSTING smh. Not coming back.

Unique flavored donuts in huge portions! Brought a beautiful selection of 6 donuts for a recent BBQ. The donuts looked great and were perfect sharing size to try the different flavors. Happy with our choices of: Vegan hibiscus, dulce de leche, margarita, lemon poppy, mocha almond crunch, and Nutella. Great serving for $27. Unrushed and polite service at this location!

This was trash! The coffee was ok (can you really mess up cold brew ), but the donuts tasted like soap. I can't get the taste out of mouth no matter how hard I try!! Save yourself 5 dollars and get Dunkin' Donuts instead

Stopped by right around the time they opened. There was still the smell of fresh paint. It was the end of the day, so there were only a few options left. Just had to get the Brooklyn Blackout since that was their exclusive for returning to Brooklyn. If you like chocolate and sweet... and pudding filled donuts, then that's the one for you! It's messy though! Staff was super nice. Will definitely be back!

The donuts are delicious and HUGE, however I'm docking a star because there is DEFINITELY some allergen in either the dough or the icing that isn't listed anywhere, and that's scary. The vegan glazed is by far the best choice, whether you are vegan or not. It simply tastes better than the regular glazed. I found the seasonal flavors to be too sweet, and had to take the icing off. The base flavors were nice tho and the service was fast and very friendly. ALLERGENS: That said, there is definitely something in either the dough or the icing that makes my mouth itch and my throat close up. The ONLY things which trigger that reaction for me are nuts (especially almonds) and foods in the birch family (apples, cherries, eggplants, things like that). I think there must be some sort of nuts in this base batter so for that reason, I avoid avoid avoid coming here, which is a shame because the vegan glazed is so good.

I got the blood orange donut. It was super price-y. It's good but not nearly as good as Peter Pan donuts. Peter Pan donuts are $1.75 each vs Dough's $5 each.

Dough has definitely perfected the texture of the cake-style doughnut. It's dense and decadent. I like that they offer are a variety of flavors, though I definitely wish there were more vegan options. Things have mellowed out since their opening and you can stop by without waiting in line.

We picked up a box of doughnuts to go just as they were closing up. It was very kind of them to wait a couple minutes past closing. Unfortunately, the remaining options were a bit limited. We picked up the Nutella fillled doughnut, the toasted coconut, a chocolate almond doughnut, and the cafe au lait. I think the doughnuts were slightly denser than I what I previously recall from dough. Nevertheless, we all enjoyed them.

Yay vegan donuts! Every year I get donuts instead of a cake for my birthday. The hibiscus donut did not disappoint!

I'm obsessed with these doughnuts! First, they're huge, like the size of a very large hand. Also, you can tell that their specialty is the beautifully risen dough that they make their doughnuts from. The texture is amazing, unique from any other doughnut I've ever had. I also love that their flavors are balanced. Every one I tried was a mix of sweet and sour, which I appreciate since doughnuts can sometimes be overly sweet!

so a place that sells a breakfast food and coffee doesnt open up till 9am?? on a busy street with workers heading to the subway to be in the office by 9. NO THANK YOU. donuts also overpriced.

We just walked by this place tonight, thought we'd give it a try. Wow!!! So happy we did! These are the best donuts we've ever had. The staff is really friendly...even though i was being so indecisive. Super nice people! We tried the Nutella, cheesecake and blueberry lemon! They are all so good. Definitely going back to try the other flavors.

Eh. Dry donuts. Very big, but I would hope so give the $5 price tag. Just not moist enough for me. We had a cinnamon one, cheesecake flavor, dulce de leche (which had almonds on it), and coconut. The cream cheese/cheesecake one was the best because you could mask some of the dryness with the cream they layered on top. Not worth the trip to me!

My new go to donut place in Brooklyn. Not only are the donuts huge, but they are so airy and delicious. On top of it all, they have yummy coffee. Slightly expensive but I think it's worth it!

Arrived to pickup half dozen doughnuts but order was not there. Turns out the order was placed to the wrong store but from here it gets better and made our day. The staff was very polite. They were able to complete our order and put a smile on my kid's faces -- and my wife as well. I wish I asked for their names so I could give them accolades here... Dough will continue to be our favorite doughnut spot...

I guess the other owner got the recipe & location and this one got the name. Donuts are terrible here. I came here for the first time excited to enjoy the famous Dough donuts. Whoever is baking the donuts needs to be fired. They look the same but the donuts are so dry and taste horrible! So sad since this is in my neighborhood. I won't be going back.

Welcome back to Brooklyn! Now please leave. I can't handle the closeness especially because it's that good and irresistible. I had the hibiscus, lemon poppy and the passion fruit (in one sitting).

We worked with Dough for our dessert at our wedding and it was fabulous! We communicated with Vicky who was great, offered her professional opinion and worked perfectly with my coordinator. Plus the doughnuts were amazing!!!

Hands down to the best doughnuts in Brooklyn! Every time I am in the area I always head to this place. My fav is the hibiscus it taste so freah and fluffy. Gove this place a try!

I liked the owners and employees here and the mustard donut was excellent. Great all around birthday experience

Here to say that she staff and the music at this place are amazing and put me in the best mood every time I stop by. The cold brew is excellent. The donuts are HEAFTY and some might prefer smaller/airier/cheaper alternatives. But if you want a decadent treat with a smile and some amazing r&b/funk/bachata, look no further.
