Shaikh's Place

Delicious sweet donuts i would eat them a million times, although the other food is alright but the breakfast is delicious. The seats are damaged although and it’s an old place but yet it’s good. Very cheap donuts and delicious i love this place. If you are looking for donuts and don’t want to spend three dollars like dunkin i recommend this place.

Good food and good service. The cheeseburger with fries was good, especially for the price. The bacon egg and cheese was fair. Next time I would ask for extra eggs cheese and extra bacon. The donuts are delicious and fresh. I was able to sit down and enjoy everything for a late breakfast. The food hit the spot. I would come back here again. The lady serving is nice. The cook makes good food.

I went to buy the breakfast and when I got to the store I found a customer before me he was an old man with short beard. His English wasn’t perfect. I was watching Bcs I was next to him on the line . The employee there was very rude and disrespectful. The guy tried to tell him what he wanna buy but the employee keep saying tell me what you want ( he want him to name which donuts he want) but the guy couldn’t . than the old man got a very fellings. Unprofessional what he did. And for me I didn’t buy anything I went to another caffe shop

This is my go-to spot for late-night cravings. The deals are unbeatable—from the crazy donut special to the double bacon cheeseburger. I’m giving the food five stars because, for the price, it’s a solid 5/5. Let’s be real—you’re not getting a world-class burger with fries for $6.50. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is the mozzarella sticks.

Local donut place with cash only. Good for breakfast and very cheap. I got eggs and croissant, hot coffee and end up with ice lemonade. Some of the menu on the wall isn't available because they didn't update. The charm of local place is you can experience the style of the store, how true the person is, raw reaction etc.

Nothing really to complain about with the atmosphere and service. the donuts were very very cheap for the size they give. You can get a dozen donuts for 10 bucks. Not the best donuts ever, not as sweet as dunkin donuts, but again for the price it is totally worth it. When i went there was a deal for a bakers dozen for 10 dollars

Ordered delivery and received burned chalupa which is inedible, flavorless burger and wrong soda that I don’t drink. At least call and let me know that you are out of something and ask what I would like as a replacement.

Terrible customer service! The cashier at this donut shop was extremely rude and unhelpful. She seemed annoyed when I asked a simple question and made the whole experience unpleasant. Definitely not coming back!

I've held off on this review because I really wanted to gatekeep. But, in the spirit of Gemini season, I shall be nice and put yall on. This spot is my go to for cheap and tasty food. Whether it's donuts, agua frescas, fried chicken, a bacon egg and cheese, tacos, or a steak dinner, Shaikhs never misses really. And you cannot beat their prices man. It's sooooo refreshing to see a spot that's been a neighborhood staple for years not raise prices dramatically, even with the inflation going on. I've ordered quite a lot over the years so adding every picture would be a chore, but my most recent meal was their ribeye steak dinner with yellow rice and salad. $20! I did put it in the air fryer so it would be piping hot and added some of my favorite steak seasoning on top (just cause I'm extra) but it was a decent meal as it was. Don't get me started on their fried chicken. I ordered it once on a whim, it was so cheap that I felt even if it turned out to be terrible, it wouldn't be that much of a loss. $6 on Doordash for 3 pieces. THAT SHIT WAS DELICIOUS. It's been a staple in my household whenever I'm not in the mood to spend $30 at Jollibee. Idk wtf they're doing in there man, how they manage to pump out so many different types of food while maintaining consistency and good flavor is a feat.

Great tasting fresh donuts. We got a whole bunch for my school for the staff and they were absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend.

This donut shop has been here probably choose to 5 decades and it's still going strong despite the neighborhood demographics changing which is a testament to the quality and value of their donuts. Go try and find a place in NYC to find a quality cake donut for $1. Everything has a great mouth feel, perfect combo of soft inside with an nice outer crunch/crust. The filling whether is it cream, jelly, or fruit is outstanding. The coffee is strong and $1.50 a cup.

This is a great old school donut shop, one of the few left. The donuts are equal to any traditional donut and the atmosphere is real.

I ordered delivery from here after my friend gushed about how soft the donuts are. I decided to get a dozen donuts and chopped cheese. The chopped cheese was buy 1 get 1 free so I thought why not finally try it for the first time. And boy oh boy, i was really surprised how much I liked the chopped cheese. It's almost like an elevated version of a cheeseburger. I thought their savory food was pretty good for a business called donut shoppe. I couldn't try all the donuts in one sitting but I got to try the Boston creme and glazed so far. The Boston creme filling is a little bland but I liked how the whole thing wasn't too sweet. Same with the glazed donut. I don't think they're comparable to artisanal donuts but they're pretty solid.

The food shows confidence in its preparation. The team shows exceptional pleasantness and willingly provides recommendations when you appear unsure. I feel at home at the Donut Shoppe. Their cooking creates amazing tastes! The staff takes authentic pride in your satisfaction.

I love there donuts and muffins. Much better than Dunkin'. Only problem a complete complement is only available afternoon.

Late night spot alert for all the Yelp Owls like myself! This place is awesome. They are open late and have the best donuts in town. I walked into there recently to check it out. It's a small hole in wall place, that gives off an old school NYC diner feeling when you walk in. I loved the service, the people who work there are great. They are friendly and fast and serving up great food all night. I love the grilled chicken quesadillas. They are huge and well worth it. The donuts are super fresh and tasty. Do not walk out of here without tasting one! I myself am a fan of the jelly donuts in particular. Check it out!

I need to update my review after stopping in when a different crew was on...it seems that there is only one server who never smiles, the ones working the other shift all do! Donut Shoppe is a classic Brooklyn "I remember when" diner with the best donuts at the best prices (13 for $10). Old time Brooklyn at its best!

The best donuts in Brooklyn or maybe nyc. Get by box , I like the powder jelly donuts. The best.

It's my favorite place not much can happe. To make me upset here. waiting,,, I'll spend some time at the counter with coffee and a donut

I wish I could give them a -1 star review. What disgusting manners their workers have. I understand the owner honestly doesn't give a crap about customer service , as well as raving fans experience, since prices are so low and they're open 24 hours. But please, somebody needs to oversee things from time to time. Okay, here we go. Friday morning, I'm all excited stepping out of the car to put money in the meter, and the moment I'm putting my foot outside, I step on something soft and creamy, and my boot is gliding through some slippery surface of dog poop. Not a small dog, not even a Great Dane, but a dog the size of a horse. I don't want to go into more details since we're talking about a donut shop, not the cleanliness of the streets in Brooklyn. Luckily, the donut shop was right around the corner. I just want to mention that I come here pretty often, at least 3 times a week. What always disturbs me at the shop is that the owner/manager/register guy or the "I'm a big boss" man would never lift his eyes to acknowledge your presence with a simple smile or just a small question like "how may I help you?" which would be just enough to show that he cares. But instead, it's always "how many?" "How many?" What? How many donuts, or how many boxes, or how many coffees, or how many times I'm planning to come back this week to deal with your rudeness? So, as always, I was planning to buy 1 box of old-style jelly and cream donuts with sugar powder for my kids and their cousins, and a second box of assorted donuts to take to work. But this time, I asked for napkins prior to anything to wipe my shoe and was given one, literally one piece of tissue. When the second was dragged along, he separated them and only gave me one. So, I politely asked for more, since I not only didn't want the poop to smell in the shop but also didn't want to take that with me in the car. But he just ignored me and started to assist another customer. So, I waited and then asked once again for a few tissues to clean my shoe outside and received no response directed at me. That was the last interaction I ever had with this donut shop, through their most attentive and full of customer service experience employee of the year. See you...

Local donut place with cash only. Good for breakfast and very cheap. I got eggs and croissant, hot coffee and end up with ice lemonade.

The best donuts in southern Brooklyn are right here at shaikh's. Omg the glazed or powdered crullers are ridiculously good. Other favorites include cinnamon, frosted with apple filling, and the cream tarrt/cakes. Give me a bakers dozen for the week and I will be covered in crumbs.

Cash Only! They have a great variety of fast food, burgers, tacos, quesadillas, sandwiches, wraps, bagels, donuts, breakfast platters including waffles and pancakes too! Great affordable prices. It does get quite busy during prime meal time, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Service is still fast & efficient. I come back often for their donuts. The donuts are pretty good and exceeds my expectations. Most of them are light and fluffy. Love the glazed, sugar, chocolate frosted, apple crumb, and cinnamon roll the most. Glazed Cruller & Cinnamon Sugar Donut were too dry. They were like cake like donuts and was not as tasty. The menu is kind of all over the place. You won't see everything they have in one spot. Donuts don't have labels and it could be overwhelming if ordering for the first time. They're open 24/7 is what I absolutely love. It's right next to the Q Trajn Avenue U. There's no parking right in front , but plenty of street and meter parking spots around the neighboring blocks.

I've been coming here since 1986 for the Cheap and fast breakfast platter, donuts and occasional grilled cheese to go. The negatives are: they're very dirty grade C terrible rude attitude from the tall guy w glasses. He acts like police or army sergeant insulting people under him. Only were not in army or jail. We're customers. I'm a good tipper and very polite. Why fight with customers all the time? If u hate your job or life get another job. Don't take your frustrations out on your customers. We have our own problems. Fresh donuts are good. Not 3 day old especially on weekends. They badly need a renovation, new stools, chairs, No menus. Walls are falling apart. They were definitely better in 1980s. I'm finally done with them. There are many better options

How does a place like this exist?... they are open 24hrs a day... not to mention their donuts are $1. There's more they also serve some of the best food off the skillet. Chopped cheese, Philly cheese steak, burgers, breakfast, pancakes, tacos, oh my! The donuts are so light and delicious, I am embarrassed but I've been going every morning for the past week. I think I may need to join a gym ASAP. The food there is cheap but amazingly prepared by 2 talented men. I've gone at 1am and also at 10am-2pm and these guys are quick and make everything so tasty. Strawberry glazed, coconut glazed, crullers, apple filled, Jelly, chocolate frosted, are probably the best ones. I kind of don't want to leave this review but I have to because wtf my guy you spend like 7 dollars and you get a BEC on a roll 2 donuts and a coffee.... unfreakingreal....

This place is very old school & I love it! The donuts are seriously so fresh, light, and airy! Even the coffee is outstanding! The Boston cream is great and so is the strawberry frosted! It's not too sweet and just right! This place is deff worth the visit!

They have DELICIOUS+FLUFFY donuts (the apple crumb pie used to be my favorite but now my new love is their glazed toasted coconut), great coffee (they rotate the coffee often so you can always expect fresh coffee) and a wide menu with standard plates like bacon cheese burgers, tacos (beef is delicious with potatoes) and fried fish sandwiches. They are really friendly, speedy and are always busy! This place has old diner vibes mixed with going to a friends house and their family makes you a quick meal and I love it! I'm not someone that loves sweets but I always get one donut to go, especially if I see them restocking my type :) P.S. this gem is 24 hour (or at least used to be).

I can only speak about the donuts from here. Someone bought a box to a party I was at. They are insanely delicious ! Had a jelly frosted doughnuts with tons of jelly. I hate the donut shop that are cheap with the filling. This shop is not cheap with the jelly. Also had a apple filled donuts. I highly recommend this donut Shoppe if you are around the area , stop in

I used the app "Too Good to To" to order a $4.99 grab bag. Upon arriving back here after a 4y reprieve, everything about this place except the sign has changed since it's former days. It has very few donuts now and is mostly a Hispanic breakfast counter with some all day items. It's got no donut shop feel and the crowded conversion of waiting space to a sit down counter makes the interior cramped even for mere pickups. Most trying was a very long wait with dismissive service just to get even an in app order picked up. The chaotic lack of a queue makes for a very difficult pick up competing to one up any one else regardless of who arrived first. Civility is sketch along with the new business model. After finally commanding the attention of Not only the first attendant who was obviously dismissive of my order but the superior who mildly paid me attention and then I finally asserted myself as not to be just hanging out able to be ignored, so he went to the back and got one oversized bag of 20 old breakfast rolls which molded the next day which was a complete loss (see the video). I did not have time to even donate them to the church. Morale of true story is don't come here for donuts. Just generic bread.

Great mom & pop donut shop. All the donuts were fresh and delicious and at a great price (dollar per donut)

A neighborhood spot with retro style menus and no crazy price markup. The donuts are great and a classic. The prices are all still quite cheap, making this a great no-frills eat.

Pleasant trip to an old-fashioned doughnut shop where you can grab 1, 2, or a dozen donuts to impress sweet-toothed folks. Per a family member's request, I was to get whatever I can lay my hands on so naturally, I got 13 donuts and 1 danish; any more and I won't be able to juggle them and an umbrella. Yes, I ventured in a rainstorm to get these darn donuts. Staff is friendly and the shop is charming. We were slightly disappointed with the danish but loved the donuts. Uncertain if I would stop by for savory food based on people saying it can be skipped and to just focus on the sweets so I'll leave it up to the frequent patrons to inform us if it'll ever be a must-do!

Absolutely worst service I've ever experienced in my entire life. I was heading over to a holiday celebration and wanted to buy a dozen donuts and I was met with the worst attitude I've ever experienced from anyone ever. First I walk in and ask for a dozen donuts, and asked to clarify where my options were and what's excluded which the man does. Then I request the fudge donut, and he didn't understand after I repeated 3 times I said the chocolate donut. I wasn't concerned at this point. Until he gave me five chocolate donuts. Then I kindly clarified I only wanted one. To which he replied "u said five. It's because u have those headphones in ". Now this didn't make much sense to me since I was the one speaking so my ears weren't necessary when I requested a chocolate donut. But regardless, I wasn't listening to anything. Then I continued requesting donuts and he rolled his eyes with every donut. When I asked how many I have left he "shoved the box in my face and said how many do u have. Count them" idk why he was so aggressive for no reason it was my first time in the area. Then I notice it's cash only so I said it's cash only do u have an atm and he lifted the sign that says cash only and shoved it on my face and said read it. Then rolled his eyes and looked at the other customer while pointing to the atm in the back. This was borderline harassment.

Updating my review burgers are ok but five bucks is a decent price but they are not that tasteful and on the dryer side my fries were cold and soggy by the time the Uber eats driver got it to me donuts hmmm well I always order the bakers dozen and it's usually good except they have a limited variety which is getting old bc the cream filled aren't to my liking really and this time didn't seem as fresh like the glazed but I like the price that Uber eats gives which is 11.75 and you won't find that anywhere unless you shop at BJ"s but I got my usual French toast which seems to never disappoint Everything seems to be fairly mediocre here and I'm not sure they care or not unfortunately

This is a hidden gem for some great donuts in Brooklyn. The prices are cheap and the donuts are delicious. You can't go wrong with any kind of donut that you order here. They are all delicious. Highly recommended!

Tried four different types of donuts -- all were extraordinarily delicious and quality-made. The price was also very reasonable.

Great, old-timey place with awesome donuts. The eclair is my favorite. Yes, it's only filled with custard on one end, but the donut dough is so light that it doesn't matter. This is a no frills place, but they have a few tables where you can sit and enjoy your coffee and donuts.

The food is very good the donuts are better then Dunkin freshly made there and better priced. They serve you fast! The place doesn't seem very clean though. You can sit and enjoy their great coffee. Their cheeseburger deluxe is very good! One individual that works there wears glasses is rude to women. But the rest of the staff is friendly!

The food is fast, and what you would expect from a deli with with a grill or a food cart. Nice simple low cost menu. I get a taco or donut to eat as an appetizer. That said if on a diet one taco can be a legit meal, about 700 calories in meat. I wished I lived closer, i'd be here all the time and kudos to the guy behind the grill, King!

I hadn't been to this place since before the pandemic and it was a relief to confirm that nothing has changed. Donuts. Breakfast sandwiches. Tacos. I'm always happy for an excuse to take a quick detour to go here.

Thank you Eater for bringing this 5-star place to my attention. In terms of taste and value for money, this place is a winner. So far I've tried the bow tie, the classic glazed, and the classic glazed cruller. They were all extremely fresh and tasty, as is their coffee. But what really keeps me coming back (3 times this week) is the warm and welcoming service: whether you're wearing a burka, ordering with a thick Slavic accent, or, like me, trying out some rusty Spanish, you're treated to the same courtly service. This place is an Avenue U treasure!

This donut shop is located right next to the Q train station on Ave U. I read reviews that their donuts are cheap and much better than Dunkin Donuts. I stopped by one day and purchased half a dozen donuts all for $6. Donuts are $1 each so the price definitely beats Dunkin's. The texture and taste is also much better. They're super airy and light compared to Dunkin's. I wish there were labels though, so I know what flavors each of them were. I had to ask the staff but I didn't want to hassle them and ask the flavor of every donut. But honestly, there were much flavors. Most of the frosted donuts were just chocolate flavored in different designs. If you're in the neighborhood, I would definitely recommend trying their donuts.

No matter week day it is or time of day, I WILL ALWAYS BE SATISFIED WITH THEIR FOOD. And my favorite times here are after a long night out and its super late, nothing open or good to eat..but this place will serve you breakfast, lunch or dinner anytime of day. My is always the basic 3 scrambled eggs with bacon, home toast, and home fries. Too it off some tea and their freshly made donut. Theres no better way to end your night or even better - start another again for round 2 :)))

I had pancakes and sausage egg & cheese sandwich on a bagel. Everything was good. I enjoyed the proportions for the pancakes, they were nice and fluffy and filled me up. There was two sausage patties on them which were good but salty. The packaging was very thoughtful and they dedicate a bag for condiments only, consisting of butter and syrup for the pancakes, ketchup and pepper, plenty napkins and eating utensils. I also ordered a box of donuts (half apple crumb and other half glazed) The donuts were fresh and very doughy on the inside, which I like. The apple crumb donut has apple filling and is my fav so far. Tip: I warm the donuts in my air fryer for 3 minutes and !!!! Amazing, try it for crispy edges. Can't wait to try more from the menu.

I finally got a chance to stop for donuts. I've been passing this place more years then I can remember! I had my husband in the car and I left him by a hydrant I wasn't going to miss out again! I got a box of 8, an apple crisp, 2 Boston creams, 2 jelly, 2 plain sugared and a chocolate glazed. They had a chocolate cake donut that looked fabulous! Oh my goodness the Boston cream was so good! They are super fresh and the best donut I've had in a while. They had honey buns, donut sticks, muffins, croissants and also tacos and burger and more. There was only 1 person at the counter, I felt bad for him. He was cooking, running over to people waiting for donuts, but he got it all done. I would definitely make the ride over for these donuts. sorry no pic of the Boston cream we ate them before it even crossed my mind to take a picture. ‍

Good food at a good price, (I love the buy 1 get 1 free menue) But sometimes there coffee cups break during delivery & Uber Eats wont give refunds anymore even if I show photos of spilled drinks & ruined food. I asked the resteraunt to Please wrap the hot coffee cup with Saran wrap (Like most other responsible resteraunts do) in case the cup gets bumped during delivery it wont burst open & Ruin my food. The only remedy they came up with after my many complaints was they added a 2nd plastic lid to the soft paper cups. My issue was the Bottom of the cups were breaking during delivery but they Still wont wrap the coffee cups in Saran wrap to seal it Like Most other resteraunts do. I spent Thousands & thousands of dollars buying several meals per day from this resteraunt for 2 years & as a loyal customer I feel they should of adressed this issue correctly by now by purchasing Better Quality Cups instead of avoiding blame. They need to understand that some of the Uber Eats delivery people dont handle the food gently and dont care if it gets damaged. I ask them now to please fix this the right way & seal the cups with Saran wrap and/or buy better quality cups & learn from other resteraunts who dont have this issue! I ask if its worth losing my constant business over a $4.00 roll of Saran wrap? Being cheap never ends up good.

This is one of the oldest establishments on Avenue U . They have been there 50 years that I know of . Their donuts are okay . The coffee is probably the best coffee on Avenue u. Sometimes the staff can get a little grouchy but they're basically hard-working decent people . Every so often some crazy person comes in and it can be quite entertaining . The Establishment itself is a little rundown but it's okay . There is no place cheaper than this on Avenue U and the food is reasonable and good .

I can't believe this donut shop is still in business! I remember going the jhs 234 Cunningham back in the late 70's!it's called good management!

The best donuts in the state of ny. The best prices also. You can go in there and get a dozen donuts knowing they are not ripping you off. You would think your back in the 80's that's how low the prices are. The Boston cream are unbelievable I go maybe once a month only because I don't want to gain 100 lbs

Donut Shoppe is a gem! Rare find and it opens 24/7. This is my favorite diner in this neighborhood! Donut Shoppe has a varieties of food in one store! Food such as donuts(of course), tacos, chicken sandwich, breakfast options, coffee and etc. Donut shoppe's tacos are the best! Their tacos have a huge portion. I usually get two small chicken taco. One taco is 2.50! Super cheap and delicious! Chicken sandwich is also one of my favorites here! It's must try. Their donuts are better than Dunkin Donuts! Donut shoppes donuts are more fresh! They bake new batches every day! If you buy a dozen donuts, you get the 13th one free!!!!! Such a good deal! However, inside the diner it may look rundown. Some of their stool chairs broken and tables are dirty.

Tried to use the too good to go app. Paid 5.00 and the guy handed me a bag of stale rolls. If I could give. Zero stars I would have

I have never encountered such rudeness anywhere else. The Mexican himself, not knowing English well, not understanding my order, began to humiliate me in front of people. brought me to tears. Administration please note this, I can leave my phone number. Answer please

I use to eat here quite a lot, however their quality has definitely downgraded. I ordered many chicken over rices and instead it looks like I got pigeon over rice. Their chicken quesadillas as well look like dried pigeon and bot flies over salad. Just watch out when you eat here.

***Terrible service*** I'm a regular here. The donuts are good and at a decent price however don't expect any common sense customer service here. Stop by yesterday to pick up a batch of donuts before my road trip. No one was at the donut section. One guy was at the diner section talking to a customer.... I waved to see if he can help me bag up some donuts. Which he didn't. Another guy came from the back and walked over. Which I assume would take my order. I was clearly first in line, standing front and center however the dude took the lady behind me order... like wtf I actually stood there waiting for you to come over to the donut area and she just walked in. I was there with my husband and I'm 7 months pregnant. It's pretty hard to miss us standing next to the donuts... Super weird but I was so annoyed I didn't even place my order. not good business practice.

Properly made Pom Poms (cream or jelly), amazing krispy marble crullers and a perfect cup of regular coffee. What else could you possibly need ? This is a truly great old school donut shop!

best donuts! best tacos! best service 24 hours!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
