Adam MendalaMay 19, 2015My favorite donut shop in the city! Classic no frills donuts. They don't need gimmicks because they're always fresh and delicious. Still has a charming mom and pop feel despite the location.
IAugust 18, 2016The marble cruller was so rich and moist, my favourite hands down. The Boston and vanilla creme were great too, albeit too overwhelmingly cream-filled for my taste.
Samantha RodriguezNovember 16, 2018The Maple bacon croissant donut is to die for! The French Curler is amazing and even their plain donut holes are beyond delicious. They have a pretty great brewed hot coffee as well.
Lenny GalloNovember 6, 2017These are some exceptional donuts. I have to say the maple bacon was my favorite. FYI: the donuts are heavier than they look.
MarcApril 23, 2014Tasting Table's Top Donuts: "Jelly Doughnut" The Platonic ideal of jelly doughnuts, with jam in every bite and an even dusting of powdered sugar. Junkies, rejoice: The Pub is open 24-7.
Bebe HazaJanuary 29, 2019Yummy! Soft! Melts in your mouth and NO greasy after taste! Finally a good donut place in Nyc took me a year but I finally found one!
Love this place, but I wish they'd just decide if they're going to be #cashonly. They'll have a sign up saying their machine isn't working, but if you insist they'll swipe the card & it will work
Corley StoneMarch 22, 2019Cronuts of all ways, shapes, and sizes. Salted caramel chocolate was amazing, and a hot chocolate on the side really sealed the "treat yoself" vibe
Loni FrenchMay 6, 2019Plain cronuts or honey dip (glazed) are perfect without all the toppings. Moderation is key! 🍩
Real Cheap EatsNovember 5, 2012If you’re looking for a Valrhona triple-chocolate doughnut or exotic ingredients like matcha, you won’t find them here. What you'll find is the epitome of a glazed doughnut (they call it a Honey Dip). Read more
Best old school donut in Manhattan, maybe the city. Forget about Dunkin, these guys are the real deal. Still, not the best Apple Fritter.
Lori LuoSeptember 4, 2014This 24/7 spot offers an endless number of donuts and baked goods, all served in a diner-like ambiance. You can't go wrong here.- Everything is good at this place. Love every single donut I ever had here and the "croissant donut" is pretty damn good.
John AAugust 8, 2015Wow! Excellent donuts, lighter, fluffier and less sweet than Dunkin. Lots of great flavors.. Recommend the vanilla creme.
I always receive great service when I come to The Donut Pub. Very good coffee, and, of course, great donuts!!- drew tarvinJuly 12, 2015Mostly traditional donuts but done well. Can't go wrong with the Boston Creme.
MashkaMarch 24, 2014Their munchkins are really fun! Ends up they're all different on the inside. Some have chocolate filling, some Boston cream.. Liked them more than the doughnuts.
Open 24 hours, bakes a huge variety of donuts all onsite, and right next to the 1/2/3 station. This is a staple late night snack for me.
Sankofa TafariJuly 6, 2018Awesomely good donuts and coffee. Probably the best donuts in NYC. I’m not exaggerating. #kinofcoffeenyc #sankofatafari
Jason CullerJanuary 14, 2013Any of the straight up old-fashioned will satisfy. Also go for the crullers when they're around. As with any doughnut shop... the earlier, the fresher, the better.
Had a cool mom and pop vibe to it. The donuts and coffee here was great. So much better than its fast food counterparts.
Alex EngelAugust 25, 2014Great doughnuts. Chocolate glazed and honey glaze are done well here. Grab a couple to refill on that long walk.
Serious EatsSeptember 10, 2011Best Doughnut Holes: Try yeast and cake in cinnamon-sugar, blueberry, plain, and (especially) red velvet cake. No more returning to red velvet cupcakes after this. Read more
Jessica HeimJune 29, 2015The red velvet donut was delicious! And the staff is super accommodating and friendly.
Janelle GreeneMarch 22, 2017God does exist. Buried within the cinnamon roll, apple fritter or the vanilla kreme. You legit can't go wrong here.
Forget Milton, a fresh apple crumb cruller is paradise found! Also recommend the Boston creme and some hot tea or coffee to go with it!
Simple, delicious & cheap. Go for the chocolate coconut, cinnamon roll or glazed cruller.
The Corcoran GroupJuly 10, 2013The doughnut holes here put Dunkin's munchkins to shame. We love the red velvet the most!
Naveed SheikhJanuary 20, 2016Their cronut is really good. Love the mom and pop feel of this donut shop.
Sherard HJune 5, 2012GREAT service. They know the regulars by name. Feel free to ask for a donut recommendation. They'll steer you in a good direction.
Freshly made doughnuts. I love the toasted coconut donut and the Boston Creme.
Sarah BrinkNovember 5, 2016A staple with friendly staff and bar seating in the back. Classic doughnuts.
Tiffany LangstonAugust 21, 2014Fantastic selection and the price can't be beat. 3 huge donuts for a little over $4- Kimmie OhhNovember 24, 2019Get the honey dip doughnuts/donuts & the red velvet doughnut/donut holes!
The Honey Glazed are the city's best, hands down. Might as well take a seat, grab a coffee and take it all in - what's the rush?
- Super delicious coffee, very professional staff, and LOVE their donuts!

"The first-ever draft latte on tap--yep, just like beer--combines milk and espresso so it’s foamy, smooth and naturally sweet. Best of all, it’s also available in a can."
