Doughnut Plant

Doughnut Plant on Flatbush never disappoints. I had the strawberry shortcake donut this time. It’s not quite a traditional donut, but it tastes amazing and totally satisfies the craving. The tres leches cold brew was smooth and just sweet enough. Service is always friendly and fast, even during busy hours. They were out of my favorite crème brûlée donut, which wasn’t a surprise since it was late in the day. These are hands down the best donuts in New York and quite possibly this side of Atlantic Ocean. They are the perfect size, which makes it easy to try a few different flavors in one visit. Other donut shops tend to make donuts that are just too big. I keep coming back whenever the donut craving hits. Highly recommend.

If you’re looking for the most delicious donuts stop here! Every donut is carefully crafted to perfection. The service was excellent! The staff was friendly patient and helpful and served us with a smile! 11/10 recommend this donut shop to satisfy all your sweet needs! We enjoyed the black and white donut, vanilla bean donut and vanilla bean with jam! Donuts available individually or in counts of 4 :)

Prices a excellent for a tasty selection of donuts. Doughnut Plant is well reviewed and I see why. Recommended!

Such a very cute setting with a lovely seating area that makes you want to stay awhile. The doughnuts we tried were not only delicious but also amazingly cute — almost too pretty to eat! The coffee was great too, nicely brewed and a perfect complement to the sweets. Definitely a sweet spot worth visiting.

We just spent a nice evening hanging out in the neighborhood and Xavier made it extra special with his customer service. Super friendly and thoughtful. Great donuts as well!

always a great spot, they make their donuts in Queens, and bring it over. every morning. we had the chest led Chase cake which was it looks limited edition and it had great flavors. also the yeast donut with a vanilla bean and jam and that was also straight, and had the chai latte which seemed very authentic and not too sweet. and everything in general was not too sweet but also sweet and great

Located in the prospect Heights section of Brooklyn between Bergen Street, Flatbush and 6th Avenues, sits a cool triangular shaped Renaissance Revival building (similar to the wedge shaped Flatiron Building) where Doughnut Plant decided to set up shop. My husband was working in the area and decided to try some doughnuts, his pleasant experience is what brought us back to try more creations. From the moment you step inside, you feel the inviting atmosphere as you explore their enticing offerings, staff members, and even patrons are courteous, “Good food makes people happy.” This charming bakery boasts a delightful array of unique doughnuts crafted with a commitment to wholesome, and healthy ingredients, moreover, the ambiance of the bakery is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who are passionate about their craft. We had the pleasure to meet Andres, he gave us some delicious recommendations! Their genuine enthusiasm for their products shines through, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. We tried their signature doughnut (CRÈME BRÛLÉE) and it reminds me of an Italian zeppole with a delicious crème filling and a crunchy caramelized top. One of the many highlights of this bakery is their emphasis on catering to various dietary preferences and restrictions. Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or simply health-conscious, there's something for everyone here. Here’s what we brought home to try: MIXED BERRY Blend of fresh berries: strawberry, blackberry, raspberry & blueberry. Gluten free. YEAST SECTION: CRÈME BRÛLÉE. Our signature doughnut: filled with our own vanilla bean custard and individually torched to caramelize the sugar topping for a true brulee crunch. The Original Crème Brulee Doughnut. VANILLA BEAN Covered in a Madagascar vanilla bean glaze. For the traditionalists. SOURDOUGHNUTS DARK CHOCOLATE SOURDOUGHNUT Vegan | Dark Valrhona chocolate in the sourdough and glaze. VANILLA BEAN SOURDOUGHNUT classic Madagascar vanilla bean glaze on our 100% vegan sourdoughnut. CAKE: BROOKLYN BLACKOUT Rich chocolate cake doughnut dipped in Valrhona chocolate, with a chocolate pudding filling and then sprinkled with chocolate cake crumbs. Doughnut Plant's tribute to Brooklyn's Ebinger's bakery. WILD BLUEBERRY Full of Maine wild blueberries, in the dough and the glaze. Each bite is a symphony of flavors, carefully curated to satisfy any cravings.

This place has good donuts—don't get me wrong, but I have a nut allergy. I'm okay with traces of nuts, but that isn't the issue at hand either. I go in, and there's a chocolate chip cookie donut. On there there are white specs which I thought were some sort of powder or cookie, but turns out it's PECAN?! A day later after getting them, I have the cookie donut and start getting a reaction. Urgently I check the website? Nothing. Obviously I don't have enough time so I have to do an ai search to find it which is how I found out. Felt terrible for the entire day. (I only had 1 small bite keep in mind.) The only thing I wish is that those allergens were put on display. I know I could've asked, but with something as simple as a chocolate chip cookie, I didn't think it would make me sick. Partially my bad yeah, but PLLEEEEEEEASSSEEE make sure you ask about the allergens and don't do what I do. I still believe those allergens should be listed though, which is why I only put 3 stars. If you don't have any allergies, THE DONUTS ARE FIRE GO GET THEM!!

It's time for another review. Olivia at the Doughnut Plant in Brooklyn, you reeeeeeeeally don't know how much you made my night. So, after 3 hours of pondering if I should go to this doughnut shop versus another in hopes that I just might get lucky and find a sweet shop that does not have a peanut hazard label on it, I decided to walk to this one. Olivia was the woman who served me, and she was so generous. I must have looked like I was struggling out of the depths of hell with some private internal battle on whether or not to risk the bite; so many places put the peanut caution label just for liability protection, but the products are often fine. But then there's always that time when I let my guard down and the worst happens, with anaphylaxis claiming visitation rights at my doorstep once again. So, after cautioning me about the possibility of peanut cross-contamination, I decided to risk it and bite slowly. And she gifted me the 2 doughnuts I had selected, with very kind words to accompany them. Doughnut Plant just got a regular and loyal customer. It was so kind. Olivia, you were so kind. I cannot even begin to describe why this small act made such an impact on me. It was just so kind!!! And I rarely see that act of generosity these days in NYC, nonetheless. Thank you, Olivia, for making my night!! Here's how they tasted, and I was 100% not at the hospital last night!!! https://youtu.be/bofkyotb3Hs

Super delicious (if pricey) spot for treating yourself to doughnuts! Came in the evening and they were sold out of some flavors. I tried the square filled jelly donuts for dessert and got the vanilla and jelly. It was a bit steep for a single donut ($5.45), but it was delicious. It's a cute spot with some seating inside, as well as a coffee and tea menu and seasonal donut rotation. The service was quick and friendly. Would come back again to try more flavors!

The "Coconut Cream Cold Brew" here is one of my new favorite coffees! We all know that cold brew is gentler on the stomach than other types of coffee due to being less acidic but normally I find cold brew boring, but not here! Their "house-made coconut cream glaze infusion" makes their cold brew taste absolutely creamy & delicious! The service here is also simple, quick & to the point with plenty of little window seats to enjoy!

Although I really love the one that was on 23rd St. this one is easily a close second. I guess this was actually the first location but nostalgia draws me to the one that I first went into. They have the absolute best donuts, best flavors most fresh, glorious donuts with chocolate and fruit filling and different flavors and they're pretty. They're really pretty the service is always on and it is a quintessentially New York jaunt. I really enjoyed the decor as well.

Today I picked up 3 donuts: Apple Cinnamon Crumble, Brooklyn Blackout, and Vanilla Bean & Blackberry Jam. I've had the latter two before and really really liked them! The Brooklyn Blackout is decadently chocolaty and the Vanilla Bean & Blackberry Jam tastes like an upgraded version of a childhood snack! The Apple Cinnamon Crumble was totally new to me and it was pretty tasty! It wasn't overpoweringly sweet which surprised me because crumbles are usually just flour/oats plus tons of sugar. It had a very gooey interior that tasted very strongly of apples, so it was a nice treat!

I missed my stop while I was heading home and got off at the Bergen St station. As I walked out of the station, I saw this place and decided to stop by. When I went inside there were a couple of customers placing orders. Then all of a sudden there were more in the shop. It filled up quick. It smelled like doughnuts and it was comforting. I got my favorite which was the Brooklyn Blackout doughnut. It's a rich chocolate cake doughnut dipped in Valrhona chocolate, with a chocolate pudding filling and then sprinkled with chocolate cake crumbs. Doesn't that sound delicious ? One of the store staff was telling me about their Rose Doughseed heart doughnut which was their limited edition heart-shaped doughseed with rose water cream filling with pink rose glaze. I wasn't sure how it will taste so I passed on it. I paid for my order and left. To my surprise, the Rose Doughseed heart doughnut was included in my bag. I think it was a special for mothers day. Both of the doughnuts were delicious. Price: each doughnut is $4.50 or more. It's a once in a while treat to indulge. I wouldn't mind stopping in again to try other flavors. Next time, I'll go with the staff recommendation.

Located in a great space; corner of Bergen street which I love. Tried their carrot doughnut and was thoroughly impressed. However, the cold brew coffee is absolutely horrific; very bitter. Your best bet is to go to Bergen Bagels across the street for coffee instead. This establishment delivers to my job, which is convenient. I will not be a frequent customer here; only coming here on rare occasions.

i got the too good to go bag from here! the cashier was extremely kind and even gave us some extra donuts! Our favorites were the cake donuts, which are surprisingly moist and not extremely heavy. the yeast donuts are also delicious and light! the donuts went stale within the next couple days though, so just make sure you eat them up quickly!!

Gotta say, going near the end of the day is probably not the move here. They had basically nothing left aside from a couple vegan donuts, and a glazed donut. The staff wasn't particularly friendly either, but again, at the end of the day, I kinda get it. All that said, the one donut that I got (only thing left that sounded good to me) was pretty decent. I don't doubt that some of the other donuts are good, but I just didn't get to try them. Maybe I'll give this place another go someday.

Stop by while we were running errands & wanted something sweet. My go to is always a fresh glaze doughnut.. both donuts were very fresh. My friend got the black and white. I got the plain glaze. I like it because it wasn't too sweet. It was like just right and super fresh.

I was in search of donuts near downtown Brooklyn and this place did not disappoint. Ordered the peanut butter and banana cream doughnut because the flavor combo and the fact that it was a square doughnut intrigued me. The peanut was represented by the peanut flavored glaze on the outside with some sprinkled crushed peanuts, and the banana cream was filled on the inside. The banana cream was the dominant flavor over the peanut butter but it was still tasty. Expensive for a doughnut at $5-$6 but it was fairly large. Service was unremarkable. There are a couple tables and seats inside for small parties to eat in.

When someone is kind enough to do you a favor, you at least thank them with some amazing doughnuts and a latte from Doughnut Plant - right?! I never know what to choose, they are all so good... PISTACHIO SOURDOUGHNUT, Crme Brulee, Black & White, Wild Blueberry, Brooklyn Blackout Carrot Cake... just get them all lol

Had some extra time this morning while heading to work and I decided to have a donut. I always passed by this place and never went inside until this morning, I ordered the vanilla bean glazed donut and it was amazing it was soft, and so chewy ! I mean who doesn't love a good quality donut freshly made?. Service was quick and easy and the place had a cool vibe to it. I actually stayed and ate my donut then left and made my way to work and I was on time lol. Now that I had tried this place I'll definitely be back

Delicious vanilla bean yeast donuts and quick polite service. The price is a bit steep but its so worth it.

We placed an order for the Menorah donut that cost $55. So last night after dinner we put out the "donut" along with outer cakes. Once we started to cut the donut, we discovered that there was little to no jelly inside. I will say beyond being disappointed, we were ripped off. never again!!!

I love this place! I've stopped by quite a few tomes to try their donuts and I'm never disappointed. They always have a pretty great variety to choose from as well as a yummy special that they feature! Their best and most well known donut is definitely the crème brûlée donut and let me tell you that one is FIRE. This time I popped in to get out of the freezing cold weather and enjoyed the dark chocolate donut, the coconut donut, and the pistachio donut with my husband! They were all delicious! The inside has some seating but it's less of a place to spend a lot of time, and more of a place to pop in to take things to go. It was VERY cold inside today when I went though unfortunately, so I am leaving a star off for that reason. That said the service was fast and they were very attentive! I will come back again and I highly recommend to anyone who loves donuts! So....pretty much everyone?

A quick bite after watching the Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat game. $$ for donuts. It was delicious and sweet. The vanilla bean and strawberry filling was good, I thought it tasted like raspberry. Soft and light. The donut ice cream was interesting with chocolate, cream and dough. I shared with my Company because it was 2 pieces. The Crme Brulee is a small donut as you can see in the pic but doughy and tasty. Service was lovely and she told me about the donuts since it was my first time there. We brought in a crowd because people started to come in after us and it became quite busy with a line. I would be back when next I'm in the area! Lovely spot for a quick bite!

This place has been on my bucket list for months and they did not disappoint. The blueberry cake donut was absolutely delicious. Bursting with flavor, the glaze had real fruit and wasn't too sweet. It's small and gets packed in here, but definitely worth the wait.

Bruh, I stopped for a snack on my way to the Brooklyn Paramount and I'm so happy I stoped here!! The donuts!!???!!!! Omg cooked to PERFECTION!!! They did not taste like oil whatsoever. I'm so thankful Yanelis provided me with great recommendations and exceptional customer service. Shoutout to her! She knows her stuff!!! This place also has outlets in every seat which also persuaded me to stay.

These vegan doughnuts are delicious!!! The signature doughnut is the Crème Brûlée and it was amazing!! We also tried the Tres leche and the vanilla coconut crème. This is a must try if you are in the New York area. The service is phenomenal as well top tier great vibe!

Purchased 1. Tres leche cake donuts- (5/10) - a little dry- lacked flavor- nice crumb- not bad but nothing something I would buy again 2. Creme Brûlée donut (2/10)- there was no crunch. The top was soggy and sticky - the donut was small and lacked flavor and filling. Wouldn't purchased again 3. Coconut donut- (10/10) saved the whole order. This donut was delicious. Great filling. Not to sweet. Full of flavor- delicious. I would buy that 10 times over. It was perfectly crafted.

Doughnut Plant 245 Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217 First time at Doughnut plant and it did not disappoint. The doughnuts are so fresh and delicious. My favorite had to be Blueberry and the Brooklyn Blackout.

It was love at 1st bite. My inner fat girl was craving sweets and after the battle of what I should get I settled on doughnuts. I couldn't decide on which ones to get so I got a variety: Crème Brûlée: doughy bitter sweet topped caramelized sugar, with cream filling that wasn't too sweet. Coconut Cream: OMG! I was only supposed to eat half, but after the 1st bite I lost all self control and a proceeded to devour this pillowy soft coconut dream. I smiled as I chewed. Brooklyn Black Out: The perfect chocolate cake doughnut, moist and not too sweet. It reminds me of the a donut I use to love from a popular franchise. Carrot Cake: if you love carrot cake, then you'll love this. It was a little sweet for my liking, but the flavors were on point. Vanilla Bean: it was just good. Nothing really stood out. Coffee Cake: it was the perfect compliment to my afternoon tea. My hips will just have to be mad at me because these doughnuts are heavenly.

Pretty good donuts. I tried them toward the end of the day; they may have tasted a bit fresher closer to morning, but were creative and enjoyed by several acquaintances.

The Mexican wedding cake in cakes with pecan. And brulee is not too sweet. We prefer the Mexican cake because it has more nutty flavor. Atmosphere is very modern

There is not table service just Counter service where the order is being done , few cute donuts decorated seats are available inside and few outdoor seating s are available as well Unique variety of donuts, we tried crème brûlée, pistachios and Brooklyn black out and they seem freshly prepared, delicious,and pricing average $3-$7 per donut depending on the order Recommended for quick donut stop for breakfast or through the day...

It was so good I cried ! I've had many gluten free doughnuts on this journey and a lot of them taste like a doughnut alternative. But these doughnuts are doughnuts! Great location cool ambience if you would like to have a cup and enjoy your meal seated.

I was so disappointed. Been dreaming of trying donut planet. Walking past today and realized it was still open so I dropped in. Very limited selection left for the day. So I tried the vanilla chocolate and carrot cake. One bite of the vanilla chocolate and I was done with that one. It just taste like a regular krispy crème donut with a chocolate glaze. It was a little too sweet for my taste and not worth the $4.75. The second donut was a little better as it was a sourdough based donut and more cake like. Maybe getting a donut early in the day when the selections are better will change things. Jeff- thanks for the comments. Yes, I said the same thing maybe coming earlier in the day when the selection is greater will be better.

I'm not a donut person so believe me when I say these donuts are GOOOOOOOOOD! Donuts are a lot more cake-like than they are flaky. My favorite were the espresso martini mini donuts!

To celebrate national donut day, I came to Doughnut Plant for my favorite morning combo ever: donut + coffee! as I came in I learned that they were doing a promo and giving a free mini espresso martini donut away with every order so I got my americano and tasty little treat to go! The mini donut was decent especially since it was a freebie and the americano was great. Service was definitely busy with all their orders but when I finally did get some help they were super nice and friendly. It's a very cute shop on the inside and they even have little tables to sit at with a view of Flatbush. Lesson learned though, lots of people enjoy national donut day and I should have anticipated the wait.

Stopped by to try some of the new(?) sourdough donuts around lunchtime. Grabbed a chocolate sourdough + the signature creme brulee and enjoyed them at one of few cafe tables inside. You can definitely taste the sourdough. I'm personally not sold on it due to the density and stronger dough flavor, but I see the appeal. The creme brulee tasted like the real thing in doughnut form, and was much airier and properly scratched the sweet tooth. On a side note so much of their decor and messaging relates to pride around being there for 20 years, but seeing that it opened in 1994 means it's due for a 30 year facelift and renewal...

These are some good doughnuts! I personally believe there are times when a classic Boston crème donut from Dunkin' Donuts hits the spot and you go on with your day. However, on some other days, it's worth paying some extra money on unique flavored doughnuts. The Brooklyn blackout and coffee cake doughnuts are UNREAL!! Their coffee is ok, probably wouldn't get it again, but the doughnuts, they're worth it once you nail the right flavors!

We love and can't get enough of these delectable confections! This review is only in regard to the delivery aspect of this business from the Flatbush location through the app and Go Parrot delivery service. We have ordered countless times for a variety of holidays such as Valentine's Day, Easter, Christmas, special occasions, and just because we were craving something sweet. All of the different flavors, we have tried, and there have been many, have always been exceptionally tasty, not too sweet, nor grease laden, like some other competitors' doughnuts are who shall remain nameless. They also have a few vegan flavored doughnuts available on rotation. We without a doubt would recommend trying these doughnuts. If you haven't had them before, you are in for a real treat.

I could eat these doughnuts all day...the red velvet and tres leches doughnuts are my all time favorites!

The founder of Doughnut Plant is from my hometown in North Carolina and I've been an enthusiastic customer from about 20 years now. It's been a pleasure to watch them grow and thrive. But as they've gotten more popular (and expensive), it doesn't seem like anybody cares about customer experience anymore. I'd been using the DP app for about 10 years and this morning, after running 7 miles (plus abstaining from bread products for 8 days for Passover), I decided to treat myself to a donut. When I ordered it and tried to pay with the app, the server said, "We stopped using that. An email went out in January." And she was so rude and dismissive and I was on such low blood sugar that I changed my mind on the spot. The server immediately turned the person behind me in line and offered them the donut I'd ordered for free. When I turned around to give a Larry David look at what had transpired, she said, "Have a good day" in that inflection that really means, "Go F- yourself." Again, they have enough customers I know they don't care about losing one, even one who's been there since Day 1. But man, a little kindness to go along with expensive doughnuts goes a long way with me. It's too bad DP doesn't value that anymore.

Had two delicious donuts: the chocolate one and the PB&J one. The latter was surely the best jelly filled I've ever had and I liked the crunchy peanut butter. The latter was a cake donut and really felt like a circle of chocolate cake -- no complaints though. Great service and good coffee too.

Groovy day Yelpers! One of the benefits of hanging out in Brooklyn are the cool eating experiences. This spot is really cool because of their innovative donut flavors and awesome coffee drinks. The service is also wonderful. I told the barista that I was traveling back on the train and she packed my donuts and coffee in such a way that both my donuts and coffee were still in tact 30 minutes later. Very groovy!

I love this place! Great latte and delicious donuts. The Marcona Almond, Brooklyn Blackout, Coffee Cake and Peanut Butter and Jam is my normal order (I share them with my family). They're all my favorites! If you haven't been, what are you waiting for???

This was my second visit to this Doughnut Plant, this time I got the wonderwheel ice cream sandwich. It was a pumpkin spice doughnut with a pumpkin ice-cream. Woah! Anways this time we tried to cacio pepe doughnut, it was surprisingly a nice savory treat! Picked up the usual banana creme and PB&J doughnut. The staff is always pleasant and welcoming, the manager Ja is a treasure! Check this place out for great service and delicious doughnuts!

We got some black coffee, matcha latte, and a donut here. It's solid and not bad but the matcha latte should be slightly less sweet lol. But i feel like the place is nice because its a great place to sit and chat, there's free water, and a bathroom if you need to peee peeeeeee!! Service is good too, nice and quick and speedy. I also saw a dog inside so they might be dog friendly. Idk

I tried their blueberry donut and it was great ! No too sweet and it was a decent size. The place itself gets so incredibly warm when the sun goes through the glass window/walls. Can't really sit inside and hang out during those times of the day.

Had one Crème brûlée, one chocolate & one vanilla donut. They were all amazing. Pretty much the best I've had. I only wish the crème bru was bigger.

I came here with my friends while we were visiting Brooklyn a few days ago and I love the customer service. I don't know the name of the employee who was serving us, but she was very polite and welcoming. She also recommended some of the doughnuts for us to try and we loved her recommendations. When I come back to Brooklyn in the future, I will need to come back here!

Always on the hunt for a good donut shop to go to on the weekends and I have to say this might be my new fave! Came here around 2:30 PM and they still had a good amount of donuts left, some flavors were sold out but they had about half available still. There's seating outside and inside. Water station if needed. Clean interior and no restroom. Workers were all very nice and helpful! My big thing on reviews is service and I really liked the ambiance of the place. Music was at a good level and they're very nice when ordering and when they make the coffee in front of you. Now, to what y'all all been waiting for... the donuts! - blueberry cake donut was good, perfect sweetness, good blueberry flavor and not artificial, moist - Coffee Cake donut could use more Cinnamon, good crumble on top that added nice texture, moist - vanilla bean donut was okay, just tasted like a glazed donut but it had a nice chew to the donut and was not dry - the crème brulee donut was so good! Perfect size, just the right amount of filling and it was not too sweet at all Also got the vanilla bean glaze latte and it was alright, wish there was more of a vanilla bean flavor and idk what glaze flavor is but I didn't get it 4 donuts and a coffee came out to about $23 not too bad

I love love love the doughnut plant. Season flavors and just amazing staples like the tres leche is magnifique my bf didn't trust me after the last doughnut shop I took him to trying to be different but when I gave him a bite it was love at first bite. And now he"s hooked

The donuts are so good! I especially love the Peanut Butter and Blueberry Jelly one! A little greasy but sooo tasty. The service though was lacking (the staff sort of yelled at us to order when we weren't actually ready yet) and they didn't seem to be abiding by COVID protocols (this was before the city rolled back the indoor mask mandate).

Doughnuts are great. However, just got profiled when picking up doughnuts I ordered ahead. The Asian and white customers were served with respect but when I went to grab my doughnuts, I was asked to show proof over and over again. Even though I checked in with another person behind the counter right before I went ahead to grab my mobile order. I had my daughter with me and even as I am showing proof that I paid for my items, I was getting lectured by the counter person about taking the items that I had paid for.

Coffee and doughnuts, a true match made in heaven! My americano with the vanilla glaze was a 10/10 and their sourdough donuts are always spot on! The staff was friendly and helpful especially giving suggestions to my sister on what coffee drink to try. Their decorating marketing team wins the award for best designed doughnut shop on this side of the Mississippi!

You already know I had to come back. These donuts are awesome. Will be returning soon lol
