The Donut Pub

Craved a good snack after shopping and stumbled upon this perfect donut place. Super friendly staff! It looked like a diner with such a wide variety selection of donuts! They were absolutely delicious and can’t wait to come visit again!

A donut a day, keeps the doctor away! 🍩 I really liked the aesthetics of this donut store, it was very retro and like a diner. The prices were also pretty good. The donut was delicious, but a little bit too sweet. The portion size of the donuts were also big. However, the cashier and customer service wasn’t that great. The cashier was a bit rude. Price: $5.75💸 Rating: 7.5/10 📝

Stopped in here and they have quite the assortment of unique donut flavors, some of them of the croissant variant. Service was really good. A bunch of people looking around figuring it out, but the guys behind the counter were on top of things once people said they were ready. The donuts themselves are pretty good. Some of them were a little dry. Kinda a little pricey, but that's to be expected for boutique donuts. I ended up getting: French Toast (croissant) Smores (croissant) Birthday Cake Double dipped Brooklyn Creme Cannoli-filled My favorites were in the reverse order.

An incredible little bakery that’s nut free! Everything we tried was delicious (and we tried MANY items, even coming back a second day to get some more!) Would definitely recommend to anyone with a peanut or tree nut allergy!

This place is great! It’ll satisfy any sweet craving you have. Everything is freshly made and displayed beautifully right In front of you. It’s open 24/7. They have pastries, sandwiches, and even bagels. Their coffee is pretty good. Prices are fair. Wheelchair accessible with a walk up ramp.

In all honesty, I think the croissant donut here was better than the original at Ansel’s. If you take these to go, I recommend putting them in the microwave for ~7 seconds and they’ll taste that much better!

Lots of c variety of donuts. I ordered the pumpkin donut around 8:30am. Honestly tasted a bit dry. Maybe try the jelly filled donuts. Donut cost $5.50

The staff here is amazing! They sang me happy birthday and made my family feel so welcome! Delicious tasting donuts with amazing variety and lots of accommodations for dietary restrictions.

You can't go wrong with a good gourmet donut! There are so many options here that it's overwhelming and almost impossible to choose. I ended up getting the s'mores and the pumpkin spice, which were both great options. They're super filling, so one to enjoy now and one for later! Their donuts are croissant donuts, so they're a bit different but so good. They're light, soft, fluffy, and filling. Don't miss the cute donut wall!

Sure cute interior which is noticeable from the window! This is what got my attention and my business. Very colorful! Tons of donut options! However the donuts were very mid. Kinda dry. I also purchased a blueberry muffin and asked for it to be warmed up. Only the outside was warm. The inside wasn't warm and was super dry. Everything was pretty dry. I also ordered a coffee. The coffee too was very mid. It tasted like it came from an old Keurig machine with tap water. I cashier was super friend which made a difference. He suggestion the blueberry muffin and immediately could tell it was dry. He gave me another one but that one too was also pretty dry. Not very many blueberries in it either. For the pricing, and how the place looked I was hoping for a lot better. Unfortunately, it was great for IG and that was about it. I would of rated it lower but because the staff was nice, it help give another star to the review

Had an awesome experience at The Donut Pub! We tried the double chocolate dipper donut with a shot of espresso, and it was so good--rich, chocolatey, and just the right amount of sweetness. To top it off, they gave us free mini donuts, which was such a nice touch and made the experience even better. The customer service was fantastic--super friendly and welcoming. They also have a huge selection of donuts, so there's something for everyone.

I'm just a girl--I love a sweet treat at any time of the day. The Donut Pub has never let me down. Delicious donuts available 24/7! They are never lacking in flavors/varieties so whatever you're craving will definitely be there. My favorites are the s'mores donut (this one's super messy but it's worth it) or the marble cake donut. This spot is also adorbs--there's an ice cream/old school parlor vibe but modern.

Solid donuts with some interesting flavors! Got the Smores cronut, Maple cronut, and Fruity Pebble donut to split with my sister. I'm not a chocolate girlie so my personal favorite was the maple cronut (croissant donut), which was flaky and had a decent amount of maple frosting. I also liked the fluffiness of the fruity pebbles yeast donut- they really did not skimp on the pebbles either. My sister's favorite by far was the S'mores, which had a marshmallow in the center. Would come back if I was in the area!

Despite the place being called The Donut Club, they actually sell more than just donut holes. For example, they've paninis, breakfast sandwiches, pastries, croissants, bagels, and egg sandwiches. Conveniently, it's located right by the 6/R/W trains so it's extremely easy to get to. Always have wanted to stop and go in whenever I have passed by so many times in the neighborhood. And, I finally decided to after bring curious for a long time. Ambiance wise of the inside is set up similar to a diner but more casual and not uptight unlike an actual sit-down kind of diner. Makes me feel super welcoming to the space. You can choose to grab-and-go or sit down by the purple countertop stools. You can hang your bags and jackets on the hook under the bar table. Additionally, there're some standing round tables against the wall. There's an outlet by the standing tables but not each outlet is working so check to see before charging your phone. Very fast service from friendly and helpful staff. I just had lunch not long ago, so only got myself a mango juice w/o ice upon request. Staff weren't annoyed or anything when I'd asked for no ice and didn't charge extra either. No donuts or pastries for me despite The Donut Pub being famous for their donuts. Maybe I'll get some donuts to go when I stop by Chelsea again. Will update on the taste next time. Back to the mango juice, it's pretty refreshing on a humid day. Doesn't taste too sweet which I appreciate. Will recommend and will get it again. Place accepts both cash and card as forms of payment. Until next time....

The donuts - delicious! Great cake and flavor. The cronuts were decent but tasted a little stale but I recognize I went late at night. The service though, was 10/10. He was super patient and helpful and even gave us a few munchkins on the house which were so yummy. Would definitely go back for the marble donut!

Quintessential artisan donut place with clean bright old school décor and quick service. The donut prices might be on the stiff side but the flavors are highly saturated.

SERVICE - located off of Broadway ave and Astor pl - plenty of indoor seating at bar or small tables - servers are very friendly and helpful in choosing options - good for a casual sweet treat MENU - variety of donuts - all nut free, vegan and gluten free options available - well priced ($3 per donut) FOOD - vegan blueberry (7/10): this was the most popular of the vegan options. The texture of the donut is denser and almost feels like a cupcake. There is not much oil on the donut. In terms of flavor, it is very sugary and the blueberries do not do much to cut the sweetness. - vegan pumpkin spice (5/10): this was my least favorite of the three that we got only because it did not have a strong pumpkin spice taste. I was hoping for a strong hit of cinnamon but instead mostly tasted vanilla. - vegan chocolate glazed (8/10): I really liked this donut. The chocolate was rich and dark which countered the sweetness of the donut. WOULD I GO BACK? If you are looking for a quintessential donut shop, then yes.

Pros Awesome donuts Croissant donuts Moderately priced Counter seating Table seating Fast service Lively ambiance Cons Zero

Classic donut spot in NYC and they have a few locations. I try to go earlier in the day because I think mentally I feel they are fresher but they constantly have donuts being brought out and always a huge solid selection, even when I've stopped by mid afternoon! My favs are the croissant donuts, Brooklyn Crème, blueberry and classic. Honestly just an overall good spot! Pricing is standard in NYC and the staff have always been friendly. Location also has some seating too! See you soon!

This doughnut was phenomenal! I couldn't resist trying it when I saw the long line outside. The selection was impressive, making it hard to choose just one. Eventually, I settled on the French toast doughnut for its unique flavor, and it exceeded my expectations. Light, buttery, with a delightful hint of cinnamon--it was simply amazing. I'm definitely coming back to try more flavors. I enjoyed my doughnut outside; there are a few indoor and outdoor seats available. Next time, I'm looking forward to trying their coffee too. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, adding to the overall great experience.

Now, why are y'all selling bowtie doughnuts for almost $5? If you go to a coffee truck those things are $1.75. A bowtie is a regular ass doughnut like I don't get it. There was no filling inside and it's not a specialty doughnut so there's no reason why it's sold at that price point. The fruity pebble doughnut, the strawberry cheesecake doughnut, I get it but the minimum price for doughnuts are $3 and a bowie doughnut should be at that price point. It's a basic doughnut.

LET ME GO THE MOUNTAIN TOP AND YELL THIS: EVERYBODY NEEDS TO GO TO THE DONUT PUB they have vegan donuts, gluten free donuts, a lot of choices and selection. And let me say this they were BOMB as hell. The service, great service, personable, funny and just was authentic. I really felt the vibes of this place. It was clean, smelled delicious and everything. I love treats, this is a must go place to experience the delicious treats and good vibes. 10/10

A great alternative to other bakeries that serve cronuts. They have a variety of flavors and a really cute diner like set up. Staff was friendly and the donuts were all reasonably priced. This is a good stop for a quick sweet treat.

Such a cute spot. Every kind of donut under the sun, very creative. Delicious donuts albeit pricier donuts. Loved the pub theme mixed with donut shop..fun spot to take our 6 year old.

I opted for Delivery Service, so this review is considering travel across town from the donut pub. For the most part, most of the donuts arrived in good condition with the exception of a few chocolate dipped. I can't speak to the ambience of the shop since it was a delivery order. They are for a family gathering this evening, so I'll post again regarding flavor and presentation.

The service from the workers Chris, Matthew and Mike was absolutely amazing. They gave us so many good recommendations for donuts to try, we tried all of them...and let me tell you THEY WERE SO GOOD. I suggest getting the French Cruller. It is supper soft and airy, we also dipped it in hot chocolate LOL. HOLY TUFF

Well this review is based on the Apple Fritter I got from them a few days ago. I have gotten Fritters from Krispy Kreme on the rare occasion they make them and that is very rare. But I consider those pretty good. I walked in and Donut Pub had them which was great. I couldn't seem to find them anywhere else so that was a plus. The enjoyment ended there. I opened up the bag to find this below average looking fritter but I thought that maybe looks aren't everything-it could still wow me. I take a bite and find that it has no apple bits inside, just a giant block of dough.. with just a little bit of apple filling? if you can call it that. It was like a smear of apple paste or something. All in all it was the worst apple fritter I have ever had sadly. I'm giving Donut Pub one extra star since they are open very late and the inside is decorated really nicely. I also had a French Cruller and though I don't see the prices on their website the 2 donuts cost me $8.50. Yes that is correct. Definitely 100% not worth what I paid. I took a picture of the Fritter before dumping it in the trash. If I'm going to eat all those calories it wont be from that abomination!

One of my earlier Yelp reviews (circa 2016) was about Dominique Ansel Bakery's cronut; at the time, cronuts were a relatively new pastry. Today, however, they are nearly ubiquitous, with many bakeries trying their hand at developing their own croissant-donut hybrid. The Donut Pub is no exception. When I walked into the store, the long wall of flavors was a bit daunting; at first, I had no idea which to choose. I overheard another customer asking an employee for a suggestion, to which they suggested the apple cider croissant donut. I'm a sucker for anything apple cider flavored, so while the croissant donut was much more expensive than some of the other pastries, I knew I had to find out why it was so special. The donut was buttery and flaky, like a croissant should be. Within the flaky layers was an apple cider filling that had just the right amount of sweetness. Apple crumble was sprinkled on top of the donut, and in the middle was a dollop of whipped cream. I would have enjoyed it more without the whipped cream, because it tended to overpower the apple. Overall, The Donut Pub's interpretation of a croissant donut didn't quite stack up to those famous cronuts I mentioned, but they still did a great job, enough to convince me to return and check out their other flavors.

Saw this place while in the area so decided to stop in to see what they had. They offer regular donuts as well as croissant donuts which I never had before. I had just done a food tour so I went with a regular donut. Ordered their chocolate cake donut since I've never tried one before. Not my favorite AT ALL. It had a glaze over it and the parts that were nicely glazed tasted good but the bites without tasted more like a chocolate muffin. You know the ones with hardly any flavor. So if it didn't have that glaze it would be eh. I also expected the texture to be a bit softer cause cake is softer but this was very dense. Not what I expected AT ALL. Would not order this one again. Would probably go back to order a different kind of donut but this one is a no for me. It wasn't terrible so I give it a 3 out of 5. Hopefully next time will be better. Oh, this cost me $2.75. Not worth it!

Every time our family is in town - this is the first place we go and then we come back a few more times before we leave! The staff has always gone above and beyond to welcome our family with nut allergies. For one weekend visit to celebrate our child's 13th birthday, they mentioned that they would be willing to make a rush order donut cake just so we could have a cake to celebrate his birthday. It was more than we could have hoped for and yumm - so delicious!! Their exceptional kindness and nut free donuts have us fully recommending anyone looking for a delicious donut to stop at The Donut Pub!

Really cute spot and they get all the kudos for being open so late. They continue making donuts fresh so it's not like even though it's open late you're getting stale donuts. The regular donuts are cakey and reasonable priced around $3. The croissant donuts are elaborate and $5. The flavor choices are really good. The cronuts weren't the best I've had but I'm not sure I like cronuts that much. I liked the frosting on top a lot. Overall solid if you have a donut craving. It wasn't too crowded and they have seating. Eating the cronuts is really messy.

If i'm being honest i visited this shop high as a kite but I promise you this is the best location ever with so many donut options. I'll be back when i'm in town and the service was 10/10! Also it's so cute inside and looks like a mini dinner!

RATING : 9/10 PRO TIP: if it ain't broke don't fix it! My biggest love goes out to their vanilla and chocolate frosted donuts. Still my favorite donuts in the city. VANILLA FROSTED Been here a few times and each time they've been serving what I WISH dunkin could achieve. This fluffy, cloud like freshness and nice sweet frosting. Simple but scores high on all the components I'm looking for in a donut. Disclaimer - I love yeast donuts the most, and find the artisanal donuts around the city too bready. I also think krispy kreme is too sweet. If this sounds like you you MUST try this place. FINAL CATEGORY: EXCELLENT (Terrible / bad / ok / good / great / EXCELLENT)

This place is great! It'll satisfy any sweet craving you have. Everything is freshly made and displayed beautifully right In front of you. It's open 24/7. They have pastries, sandwiches, and even bagels. Their coffee is pretty good. Prices are fair. Wheelchair accessible with a walk up ramp.

The donut pub is in a prime location, just a few blocks away from the hustle and bustle of SoHo. I've walked past many times and am always allured by the variety of donuts they have. While the variety is there, I don't think that the quality of the donuts is spectacular. I wouldn't call this a gourmet donut, it's honestly not all too different than your local mom & pop donut shop in terms of quality. After much deliberation during my most recent visit, I settled on the strawberry cronut. I have to say I was a bit disappointed. The strawberry flavor was lacking and I didn't appreciate the artificial fruit flavor from the fruity pebbles. The dough itself was fine but a part of me wished I had stuck to a more classic donut flavor. All in all, it's fun to pick through the variety of flavors they have, but some are definitely better than others. Not one of the best donuts I've had, but I'll probably be enticed to come again to try something new.

Wish they had a midtown or uptown location! Product is fantastic and vive is really cool.

The most disappointingly sweet, doughy, oily, uncrispy, flavorless, and expensive cronut I've ever had. There was no chai flavor except in the excruciatingly sweet dollop of cream and the entire donut was pervaded not with the taste of yeast, but the taste of pure doughy flour soaked in oil. Cute place to take pictures though.

I love cronuts and have been on the hunt to find one as good as the first time I had one. Honestly, super dissapointed. The maple croissant donut wasn't as soft and flaky as I wanted. Good maple flavor though. Cinnamon donut bite was decent. Reminiscent of a grocery store box.

Omg, I loved this donut shop! It was so cute inside and the cashier went above and beyond as he went into detail about their donuts and flavors. My husband and I stumbled upon it randomly. I can't remember the name of the donut we split, but it surprisingly good. After having Pinkbox donuts in Vegas it's hard for me to love a donut. This one had a little crunch and is perfect for dunking in coffee. It was the perfect size and the shop had tons of seating.

Stopped in while in the area. Wow, there are so many donut options. Surely something for everyone. Cake, yeast and even croissant donuts. Prices are pretty affordable and there's seating inside, like a diner where you sit at the counter. Staff were friendly. We tried the vanilla cream and cinnamon cake donut. Donuts were pretty good.

I am a donut freak and when I walked in to the store I was like a kid in a candy store. They had so many options from cake dipped donuts, yeast donuts, cronuts, crullers, and more. They also serve a breakfast and lunch and hot coffees I went with the glazed cronut and the double chocolate dipped donut. The cronut was fantastic, and the chocolate dipped was good but not as good. I'm coming back to try the other cronut flavors

The tiramisu donut was delicious! I think it was a cronut, but I could be wrong. I liked that it didn't make me feel weighed down. I tried a bite of my friend's cannoli donut and that one was definitely the winner! The ambiance was good and the service was better! The cashiers were very kind and helpful!

Great customer service ! And the donut I had was delicious they are also open 24/7 so the perfect spot to stop by at anytime !

I saw this place while I was strolling in the neighborhood and I thought it was cute in the outside I went in and I was like my oh my it smelled so good and the donuts looked delicious I felt like a dozen was reasonable priced considering it looks house made I should have gotten a dozen to try but next time I will make it a mission to get a dozen and try

At the heart of this 24-hour establishment stands a wall of doughnuts--rings, old-fashioned, crullers, French and crumb, honey-dipped, chocolate-dipped, coated in coconut and sprinkles, filled with blueberry, apple, lemon, and "creme," cinnamon buns, twists, éclairs, turnovers, and Pom Poms--where my partner, our visitors from out of town and I stopped in on this past gorgeous Saturday. Located on busy Broadway at Astor Place, Donut Pub is very popular with locals and visitors alike. As soon as one walks in this bright and colorful interior, there is this sweet, mesmerizing aroma, with a nice, sizable line of patrons ordering. After being welcomed by the staff, we've decided on a box of 1/2 dozen assorted donuts, such as Boston Crème, Apple Cider, etc. We grab a stool along the long marble counter, or bar (this is a pub, after all), to enjoy our sugar delights. The donut flavor was good. So one can satisfy that craving whenever it strikes. Believe us, these are crave-worthy donuts, which we can recommend.

Loving this location from the moment you walk through the doors. The bright modern decor draws you in. The trendy color donut theme on the walls throughout the space is brilliant. Shoutout to the interior designer they hired for this job. The long store length marble counter top. Was another favorite of mines. The variety of donuts is sure to please every donut lover on the planet. If you are in the New York City area the donut pub is a must on your things to do while in New York City. Lastly although all of the staff were polite. Mathew stood out from the crowd he had donut knowledge he has great customer service skills. And he has this amazing energy that you remember long after you have gone. We hade a few different donuts. My favorite was the apple cider donut.

I went here tonight and I was treated so incredibly poorly by the person working there. I normally don't leave Yelp reviews but I just want to warn anyone thinking of going. Unless you have an appetite for blatant discrimination and misogyny, The Donut Pub is not your place. One of my friends and I were joking about fighting to decide which donut to get. The man behind the counter began to make the most horrendous, unwanted and just rude "jokes", going on to comment that there's no way I'd win against my friend, I was too weak to be a threat to anyone, and that I was too dumb to understand how to open pepper spray. My friend mentioned that I went to the gym, and he said that wouldn't be convincing unless it was a high school gym class. He told one of my guy friends to "control" me. It was uncomfortable beyond belief, and our group remained cordial and tried to make normal conversation so that he'd stop being a raging misogynist, especially since it was enitrely unwarranted. I seriously hope The Donut Pub makes changes to their hiring criteria. No one should ever be spoken to like I was and I'd hate anyone's elses night to be ruined because of some poorly raised man.

My companions wanted donuts so I turned to Yelp to find options in my vicinity. We decided on The Donut Pub since we were only three blocks away & the reviews seemed decent. Bright, bustling, & a bit retro with a long counter & stools that seat about a dozen (people, not donuts!) Customers are spoiled for choice; there really is something for everyone. We shared three raised donuts: chocolate, glazed, & one that resembled a sundae complete with cherry on top. The glazed was light & airy but the other two were heavier & more stale. No flavor home runs here. Actually what we had were three strikes.

I just found this place while walking around and I fell in love! Google says they are open 24/7 and honestly that is such a selling point for me. There are so many choices but I got the lemon cronut. The service was friendly and the neon lights are so retro feeling. I'm going to be back.

Very fresh and the ambiance is so welcoming. I got a strawberry cream donut with a cold bottled water, it was $4.88. My friends got a gluten free muffin and cream donut. We loved them all! Would love to come back sometime.

The jig is up, the game is over. There is nothing more to say than simply, wow. Move aside Peter Pan, this donut shop may rival as one of the best in the city. This is madness because I love Peter Pan donuts, but this one may take the cake in Manhattan, rather, the whole darn thing. The crullers are their cruelest thing to offer. So decadent, so flavorful. I could easily devour 12 of these because they are so light. Good thing they are always open because there is always something to enjoy here. The juices are fresh and delicious as well. I walked out of here feeling light on my feet despite heavy in the stomach because these donuts are made fresh. They look great and hold up well. The jelly donuts are filled with plenty of jelly! Oh my! It is going to take tons of willpower not to come here daily or I will have to be taken to work in a wheelbarrow. Of course they take credit cards. Of course they would. And of course they would literally be next to the subway because of course they would. It is like a higher being was hungry in the East Village and plopped a donut shop in for all walks of life to walk in at all times, waiting for everybody to walk out with fatter bellies and flabbier thighs. Wait, did I just write that out loud? Of course I would.

Good donuts, first time here, asked for the best seller, they said it's the French cruller, I ordered one and when I almost finished it, I found hair on it. Not coming back

Nom nom nom. Excuse me while I remember how good this was. My sister sent me a TikTok about this place while I was visiting NY, which is how I found out about it. So glad I visited. A few other places have featured Croissant Donuts, and when I tried the most famous one, I just didn't get it. Now, having tried the pumpkin croissant donut here, I get it. I tried that and the Boston Creme (regular donut) which was decorated for Valentines Day. I honestly picked it because it was cute, and I needed something to help me pick from the many different options. It was good, but it was what you'd expect from any good donut shop. The pumpkin one, though, that made the stop worth it. The staff was pleasant, and very patient as both the person in front of me and I were both a bit overwhelmed by the sheer variety of options. This will have to become a regular stop when I go to NYC.

I want to like these donuts more than I do. The textures are great, but they found the cake donuts lacking in distinct flavour. The blueberry tasted the same as the red velvet. They both tasted good, just not what I expected. The Boston cream was excellent. The croissant donuts are really interesting, try the bacon caramel or maple (yes this is being reviewed by a Canadian).

Croissant donuts were incredible and so rich! The whole vibe was so cute and well decorated. The staff was so nice!!!
