    Of this box, I enjoyed Mango Coconut the most. It was moist, buttery & tangy. Didn’t like vegan cinnamon; it was too dry

    The most amazingly delicious, moist doughnuts. Please try the hibiscus. I've been back twice since my first visit a month ago.

    The Nutella donut is everything. Enjoy with an iced coffee and you’re good to go!

    Hibiscus is my favorite despite stuffing my face with many of the other great flavors. Really can't go wrong here.

    dough my god! this certainly gives Doughnut Plant a run for their money, and I'd be happy to volunteer as a judge for the future donut-off! :)

    The newer Manhattan location of the loved Bedstuy donut spot has more choices, likes filled donuts and donut babka.

    While there is ample seating within the shop, most customers bought donuts to-go

    The dulce de leche, lemon poppy seed, glazed, and cinnamon sugar are my favorite! I can't pick just one!

    The passion fruit curd stuffed donut I had in September was mine blowing. Like many of their flavors, it's seasonal... So waiting till next year :)

    Good variety of flavors. They’re ginormous though, so recommend splitting them or coming hungry because some can be heavy. Service is a hit or miss.

    If it wasn’t for the street sign, we would have missed this nondescript shop (plus all the scaffolding over it)

    The exotic and creative doughnut flavors, like hibiscus flower and dulce de Leche, set this place apart.

    The lemon glaze is my favorite. The tartness of the glaze cuts across the sugar in a really wonderful way!

    Sinfully delicious! Plain glazed is perfection but adventure seekers can opt for creations like passion fruit or hibiscus donuts.

    The dulce de leche is simply gluttonous heaven. Hard to find a more perfect donut in the city.

    The Dulce de Leche is absolutely amazing!! the Boston cream is a huge let down.... Don't even bother.

    Gotta try these legendary doughnuts for the texture. Dense yet light, chewy and bread-like. Flavors on point.

    Many creative donuts from margaritas (with tequila) to guava cheesecake. But as always the best one is the plain glazed one.

    The donuts are a pretty good reason to live, if you need one. Dulce de Leche is like eating a very tasty cloud.

    Horchata doughnut best ever. You need just one as they are dense but you'll want more.

    Dulce de Leche is amazing. Beware of the Hibiscus, it is very sweet and sugary. Quality coffee here too.

    Just. Do. It. Otherwise, don't walk by here...or live near by here. Haha. Also, 1 donut is 4 legit servings. Be wise.
