I read a review stating that Doughnut Planet is nothing more than a upscale Dunkin Doughnuts...
I think that person needs to put down the crackpipe and take a bite of a Tres Leche doughnut.
This place is all kinds of awesome, a small pastry heaven (that should become a landmark, IMO), that bakes them up fresh on the premises. I ordered a Coconut Creme and the man adorned with Santa hat behind the counter was ever so gracious to include a Tres Leche. Both were ridiculously delicious, but I am pretty partial to the Tres Leche. A little pricey (around 3 bucks for a doughnut)? Yeah, but so worth it. My dream day would be to hit up SSS bakery for some Banana pudding, then walk over here for doughnuts, go to Seward Park and unfasted my top button and sit on a bench and eat it all while quenching my sweet thirst with my tears of defeat.......
Take your twenties to Doughnut Plant. One twenty can buy you half a dozen doughnuts. Doughnut Plant can also take the twenties out of your figure and throw you back into your thirties. Sadly that's where I stand right now. Pantsless. I can't fit into my pants anymore. Maybe it wasn't just the doughnuts. Maybe it was the Jive Turkey I had for Thanksgiving. Maybe it was the box of Ritz crackers I used for the stuffing. Maybe it was the mini pecan tarts I made. Or maybe it really was the three doughnuts I had from Doughnut Plant. I don't know. But my pants don't fit anymore. And I would gladly eat three more doughnuts from Doughnut Plant again. My pick would be the carrot cake cake doughnut, the roasted chestnut yeast doughnut, and the raspberry jam filled yeast doughnut one. Really, there is no guilt remorse felt as I write this review.
The doughnuts at Doughnut Plant are huge. They are of CRUMBS caliber sizing. The doughnuts are EPIC. Even the tiniest of the doughnuts (the creme brulee one which is the size of a creme puff. Puff and its gone!) pack a punch. I chose the creme brulee doughnut as my amuse bouche. It was amazing. It was like real creme brulee, a croquembouche cake and a Beard Papa rolled into one. I swear they torched the doughnut and the filling has specks of vanilla bean in it. The doughnut could not have lasted more than a minute. Wham, bam and thank you.
I saved (ok, I was forced to wait) my other two doughnuts to eat on the steps of the American Museum of Natural History. What a great way to start the day. A sugar high in between Central Park and AMNH. Tres leches was doughnut #2. It was as good as my cousin's wedding cake in Mexico. Actually it was better than an actual tres leches cake. I swear. Doughnut #3 was the cranberry doughnut. I was feeling holiday-ish. The cranberry doughnut was a little dry but still good. It wasn't overwhelmingly cranberry-ish. But it was definitely sugary. And I felt like I was eating the pink donut from the Simpsons.
Doughnut Plant is a little like a cartoon. It's a bit unreal- the flavors, the shapes, the sprinkles, the store, the colors. I walked in and they were playing Halloween music. It's November. And the doughnuts were xmas-like. Doughnut Plant is addicting, hypnotic, entertaining, funny, and cool. See. Just like cartoons. I'm trying to digress. Regress. Back to my teens perhaps. Before I gained all this doughnut weight. Good luck to me. Good luck to you. I hope you find your way to Doughnut Plant.
Perhaps my expectation level was set way too high (though I've learned to leave plenty of room for disappointment), but I really didn't think these doughnuts were so marvelous. Not bad, but not worth the reams of hype or the schlep down here.
The girl at the counter didn't bother to ask which kind of doughnuts we wanted, but initially supplied us with the deeply inferior cake doughnuts. They were a complete fail; dry and with little flavor, they succeeded neither as cake nor doughnut. The raised doughnuts were much better, but still...
This place should really be called Doughnut Heaven because this has to be what all of those angels chow down on. I've never had such great doughnuts and I hail from Seattle where Mighty O and Top Pot rule the city when it comes to sweet treats.
I decided to make a pit stop in Manhattan on my way to Queens from Brooklyn (quite the pit stop) for these sweet baked concoctions. They were a bit pricey. I spent $18.50 for 8 doughnuts but you're really paying for quality here people. I think I got one of almost every doughnut they had at the time. My favorites were the tres leches, cranberry, and the creme brûlée. I didn't really care for the Vahlrona Chocolate donut. It was okay but not nearly as good as the others.
This place is definitely worth the trip off of the beaten path. Truly delicious doughy goodness!
These were in fact the best doughnuts I've ever had.
You can read the Somewhat Lengthy, Probably Uninteresting Story About Why I Was So Skeptical below, but you just need to know that they are frighteningly good.
I went to brush some frosting off of my girlfriend's cheek, and she nearly punched me in the face. She really WAS saving it for later.
I still think it is a bit ridiculous to pay $3 for one doughnut, but my skepticism has been replaced by a legitimate fear that I will resort to sneaking out of my apartment like a junkie to gorge myself on these heavenly pastries. They are single-handedly threatening the "Get in Shape" plan I was embarking on today. Or tomorrow. Maybe next week.

Somewhat Lengthy, Probably Uninteresting Story About Why I Was So Skeptical.
I wanted to get doughnuts for our office. A nice gesture, that could perhaps result in my co-workers finally wanting to hang out with me, or at least it might make them hesitate before throwing hot coffee in my face when I say good morning.
So I called up Doughnut Plant, and asked how much it would be if I wanted to pick up around 40 mixed doughnuts. I expected them to just give me a price.
Apparently, that's not how it works around here. The guy actually took down my number and said he was going to have to call me back. I'm assuming they employ some sort of intelligence agency, assigned to track down phone numbers and determine whether or not the owners are worthy of purchasing that many doughnuts.
I must've made the cut, because about an hour later, I get a call back with the specific number of each sort of doughnut I will be allowed to purchase, and the price of $93-$95. It's not even a set price? It might fluctuate based on the market rate of sugar at the time? Get the fuck out of here with that. These are DOUGHNUTS.
And that's why I was skeptical. There was no way I was dropping a bill on DOUGHNUTS for the office. And so I resigned myself to wearing protective headgear when exchanging morning pleasantries.
Now that I've tasted them, I think they are worth the extra cash. But there's no way I'm sharing them with the vultures at the office.
Final Note: You can make yourself feel a little better by eating dumplings for dinner, and doughnuts for dessert. This will offset the cost.
Attention: Cupcake Lovers!
This place will make you a convert. No, whoopie pie isn't the next big thing after cupcakes. The classic doughnut was here long before, and this place is the epitome of why. Famed on TV, this place is off the charts CRACKTACULAR! My eyes rolled to the back of my ass as I had an outer body experience after eating their tasty confections. No, they aren't cheap, but they're huge! Trust me, you'll slap both your baby mamas after eating one.
Situated in a marginalized location, if you can dodge the sketchy hood's ninja stars and machetes to live and tell about it, it's definitely worth the trek!
P.S. When others refer to ordering the tres leches here, they're not referring to the doughnut, but rather using slang for jizzing thrice after masticating. Yes, masticating you PERV.
THE LOWDOWN - choose:
-vanilla OR peanut butter frosting
-filling ($2.75/ea) OR no filling ($2.25/ea)
-free coffee (self serve)
-white wax paper bag (if takeout)
Ordered:
-Creme Brulee ($3) - round, the definite sleeper in the bunch since it's deceptively small in size but GINORMOUS in taste (I can't believe I just used that word), the top cracks just like it's supposed to, the filling is not too sweet which is great, a must, totally worth it!
-Cinnabun ($2.25) - this was just ok, tasted very bready, needed more frosting, there are raisins in this, you get your money's worth, as this is the size of a softball, no exaggeration, not greasy at all
-Coconut Cream ($2.75) - square, talk about the best of both worlds, super chewy, this is the best doughnut I've ever had in my life, you'll never hit D squared again
Total came out to $8.50 after everything
Best doughnuts ever? I think so - they have definitely surpassed my previous favorite, Krispy Kreme (yes, that was my fav...you have a problem with that?)
Despite them being known for the filled doughnuts , I didn't get one - I did however get a chocolate and a PB&J yeast doughnut and they were both amazing, mind-blowing some may say.
It's way too close to NYU and I'm there frequently in the AM...this could get dangerous.
I'm not sure what more I can add to what has already been said of these utopian delights. If there was a way to innovate the doughnut mark (the owner) has somehow figured it. His attention to detail and quality are what make these babies so damn good. He makes the jelly for his doughnuts, invented the square-filled doughnut and started the whole business delivering them to specialty shops on his bicycle. You haven't had a doughnut until you've had one of these. Must try!!
Overrated. I thought I would never say this, but these doughnuts tasted bland. I couldn't taste any sugar, cream, or deep fried goodness at all. Maybe I went at a bad time or a bad day, but I'm so shocked and disappointed that I don't think I will give these doughnuts another chance, considering I ate FOUR and they all tasted roughly the same.
The owner of this place is a genius businessman. Affecting a sort of direct outlet type of decor costs virtually nothing and yet it's still an effective theme.
Serving a completely unremarkable food somehow gives the illusion that it's a specialty store. It's no more special than KK and DD. Yet, it's about $3 for a doughnut with a lingering greasy mouth feel [not unusual for doughnuts, I'm sure] and with no extra delivery of the fancy flavors? Meh, still, I have to admit that concept is still kinda genius, because it was the most I've ever spent on a doughnut.
Personal note: why would you want to eat a creme brulee in a doughnut form?
I'm not a doughnut person and fried food makes me thirsty. (And I need to check under my bed every night for monsters but wait, this is not about my issues)
But but but.
Doughnut plant donuts are goooood. Not just good, but goooood, you get it? Like mmmgooooodmmm.
Now a donut's a donut, you might say. Come back and talk to me after you've tried these babies, is all I'd say to that.
Creme Brulee - It really does taste like a - wait for it - Creme Brulee! Yummy vanilla custard filling with a crunchy caramelized coating on the little donut top. Very innovative. Very delicious.
I also tried a couple of cake donuts. These tasted like - wait for it - cakes! The tres leches (with a delicate piping of condensed milk inside that made it nice and moist) and the blackout (chocolate with chocolate and chocolate) were both good.
I got the hot chocolate too. Now I don't know about you, but I don't like random cream formation of the hot chocolate being stirred right back into the container. Ugh, please.
Service very friendly - these folks clearly are happy to be working at this place (also read as I am sure they get tons of free donuts everyday!)
Go early, they run out of doughnuts pretty quickly. Cash only.
After 300 reviews, what more could I really say? Oh, yes this.
We arrived to New York at 8am. Sat in traffic for 1 hour. Had driver swing by Doughnut Plant en route to Hotel in LES. Ran out and ordered 10 donuts, ran into Jewish bialy place 2 doors down to get a bialy, hopped back in car and b-lined to hotel. Kindly shared a Tres Leches donut with the bellhop.
Welcome to NYC! Gotta love it and gotta love Doughnut Plant. PB&J, Creme Brulee, Tres Leches, cake or yeast, love me some donuts.
I've heard a lot of famous people talk about the moment in their life when they realized what they wanted to be. You know, maybe Jimi Hendrix walked by a guitar store and saw a Les Paul hanging in the window and decided he was going to be a rock star.
I never had one of those moments and it always kind of bummed me out. Then I ate a tres leches from Doughnut Plant and it hit me like a wave.
Right there I realized I wanted to be a guy who eats doughnuts.
Not professionally or anything, but actively. And thanks to Doughnut Plant, I can do that. Obviously, I don't need to hype this place up anymore than it already has been.
Just go and enjoy being human for once in your miserable life.
Made a special trip out to this place, but I don't think it was that great! I was indecisive on what to order, so I asked the guy at the register what was good. He gave me a large pink colored glazed doughnut which was apparently the cranberry flavored one. I took a small bite and it seemed decent so I said it's "ok" and then he said $2.50 please. I'm like... what?! So after I took another bite, I realized that it tasted like crap. It tasted like a 3 day old doughnut which wasn't fluffy at all. I thought the guy at the register was pretty shady for doing that, which was totally NOT cool!
However, one of my friends got the creme brulee and one got the tres leches. Both were ok, but not amazing. The creme brulee was about $3 for a teeny tiny doughnut which was about 2 bites and not worth the price. I think these doughnuts are over priced, over rated and not fresh at all!!
Went again yesterday (Nov 27th) to pick up some goodies to bring to the fam today when I visit. Nibbled on another tres leche (wanted to give it a second shot). This time, I really liked it. Could it be because my jolly friend behind the counter gave me a fresh one straight from the oven? Anyhow, it was yummy and this time I could taste the light filling. Nibbled on a yummy chestnut, a scrumptious tangy almost perfect cranberry and one of my all time favorites- the ginger spice cake donout, cause I'm a sucka for anything ginger. Gee, and I wonder why my jeans popped a button when I sat on the bench outside DP to take it all in (literally) ;-)
I don't know if you're as good as it gets, but you're obviously good enough to have me return time… Read more »
You're Doughnut Plant? Hi, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Roderick and I have been coming here for about a week now. I figure I better introduce myself, because in about nine months I will be giving you my first-born. Yes, even though my child will be a masculine child, I feel sacrificing the continuation of the A. family name in exchange for half a dozen tres leche donuts is worth it.
Do I care that for about 3 dozen donuts from Dunkin' Donuts, i can only get six tres leche donuts? Of course not. According to my trusted adviser Gordon Gekko, what's worth doing is worth doing for money. And Doughnut Plant can have my money, no problem. So I will gladly pay 12 George Washingtons for six tres leche donuts.
I cannot forget the chocolate blackout donuts: chocolate donut with a little cream in the middle, topped with chocolate crumbs. If I ate any more of these, I think I'd be replacing Heavy D as the "overweight lover in the house."
And for the autumn, they added a pumpkin spice donut. I swear, if you dunk it in a hot cup of coffee, you may start walking funny because of the instant orgasm it will give you.
All I know is that you will not have a bigger smile on your face as you're walking out of Doughnut Plant.
Look, I had high expectations of this place coming after seeing them featured on the 'Food Network.'
So, right off the bat, they had a high ceiling to meet. Were they better than Dunkin Donuts and other chain spots? ABSOLUTELY!
Were they above than average? YES!
Would I go back to get some? YES!
I didn't think the Tres Leches was that great though.
The custard filled donuts though are stellar!
These donuts were absoeffinlutely delicious.
BF and I drove around for over an hour to find parking. Cursing out tourists walking with no regard to the red lights. Cursing out cabbies that pulled over with no regard to me being behind them. Cursing out NYC for its lack of legal parking. And finally stealing a parking ticket from another car (we put it back as good citizens) in order to run into this effin store for their donuts.
We saw the prices and muttered OMG WTF. Then both walked out with 2 donuts each. Me: Creme Brulee and Pumpkin Spice. Him: Coconut and Vanilla.
All I can say is WOW. It was worth all the cursing and stress and circling and money.
COME HERE.
After watching Bobby Flay's throwdown with the tres leches donut last year, Donut Plant has been on our radar for some time now.
Well, we finally had them and they were good, but I found the creme brulee and the coconut cream were actually better!!
Yes, $3 a piece probably qualifies these as America's most expensive donuts, but it's worth trying once. The coconut cream had a nice glaze and coconut slices on the outside, but the best part was the creamy coconut filling in the center. This one was my favorite.
The creme brulee was a tiny little donut. It had the crispy burnt sugar (just like a real creme brulee) on the outside and the inside was filled with a nice creamy custard. Please note: I took one bite and all the filling shot out from the bottom, ruining my pants :**( Haha, so eat with caution.
The tres leches was good, but I found it to be a little dry. Where's my black coffee when you need it??
So expect a nice sugar high and keep your nice bitter coffee handy. Trust me, you will need it!
Any donut that has just come out of the fryer and is hot and gooey is going to be good no matter where it's from. but what happens after that donut spends an hour or 2 cooling off...most donuts dramatically lose their appeal and their fried goodness.
The test then for a truly amazing donut is whether it can sustain its moistness, deliciousness and friedness even after a couple hours.
Doughnut Plant passes that test. My g/f and I went and were kind of disappointed when the tres leches and creme brulee donuts we got were not hot and fresh. But one bite into both swept away any disappointment we had.
The creme brulee was a creme-filled yeast donut about 1/2 the size of all the other donuts but wow, the texture and taste were spot-on. It had the crisp glaze texture of the outside of creme brulee and then the creme filling was the vanilla-y creme you would expect. a truly genius donut.
The tres leches was a cake donut and i expected it to be tough and dry since it wasn't warm. BUT no, the donut was lecherous- somehow they infused the cream with the cake so that it tasted almost as soft and chewy as a yeast donut.
All in all, doughnut plant can match its hype.
Holy God, this place is amazing. It's probably SO out of the way for most New Yorkers, but I assure you, it will be totally worth the trek. (In all my years living in NYC, I don't think I've even been down that way before!)
Because of its location I haven't gone too many times, but when I have, I pretty much buy as many doughnuts as I can carry... which means I'm practically eating doughnuts all day long. But hey, there will be worse ways to go out (when my inevitable coronary comes along). I say all this b/c I don't even know half of the flavors I'm eating when I get them home. I do know enough to say that the tres leches & the PB&J donuts were pretty spectacular. And as for the whole yeast doughnuts versus cake doughnuts thing, I don't have a preference-- I love them all! They're all God's children! (But okay, maybe the yeast ones win out just b/c they're pretty unusual.)
Part of me wishes this place was a hell of a lot closer to Midtown, but the other, more practical health-conscious part of me is glad it's tucked all the way down on the Lower Lower East Side or whatever the hell that neighborhood is called.
Took a soul searching journey to the Doughnut Plant after seeing a delicious episode on Best Doughnuts on the Food Network.
We ended up there on a Sunday late-afternoon and the selection was a bit limited. I had the Cranberry doughnut and M had a Dulce de Leche. Both were cakey goodness and not overly sweet.
The Cranberry was far prettier to behold than the Dulce but truth be told, I preferred the Dulce. We didn't get to try the square doughnut which apparently is the house specialty.
I ordered milk which unfortunately came from a luke-warm fridge-blah!! Save the $3.50 and go to a corner market to get a bottle of milk.
Overall I'm glad we went as I would've obsessed over it had we not visited!!
If you are in the area, go there - otherwise it wasn't really worth the long subway ride and walk through smelly Chinatown to get there!
I knew we should have gone earlier!!!
All they had left was apple/cinnamon and creme brulee.
The latter was superb!
A great donut. One point off because despite living within spitting distance for ages, I always managed to get shafted on my desired donut and am now semi-convinced there is a conspiracy. Still, the second choice always satisfies, so who am I to question the donut gods?
I'm not a huge fan of donuts, so this place didn't really impress me. I don't hate them but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again. The tres leche was the best one out of the creme brulee and the rasberry donut. The tres leche was $2 per and was the size of a Krispy Kreme. The creme brulee was tiny and can literally finish in 4 normal bites. The raspberry just tasted regular. Be careful if you request flavors and they ask you to take a bite - if you say, "It's okay" they will ask you to pay up.
(If Homer J. Simpson wrote my review of Doughnut Plant)
"Ohm! Ohm! More! More! More!...."
Okay, remember that episode of the Simpsons, Treehouse of Horror IV when Homer J. said he'd sell his soul for a doughnut? Cue shot of Homer hooked up to a contraption that fed him doughnut after doughnut, after doughnut, after doughnut...
I don't eat doughnuts that often, maybe once in a blue moon often. Why, you ask? Because there are a lot of crap doughnuts out there that cause my stomach distress. But there are times when I temporarily forget the pains and give in and have a doughnut anyway. This was one of those times...and I was more than pleasantly surprised.
When I in this part of the city one fine weekend morning I wondered in my head (like Homer does so frequently) 'Why is there this huge snaking line outside of Doughnut Plant? What's it for??' I stopped and said, "They have to be good. Let's wait and get some."
They offer yeast and cake doughnuts, none of which are made with eggs, or artificial flavors or trans fats. I had the blackout and a glazed and a couple bites of a yeast doughnut, a jelly one. Nice, fresh, cake-y, definitely not heavy or oily...Aaahhhh. My taste buds were doing a jig.
And you know what? No stomach issues. These doughnuts must be magical.
I am with Homer J.
I would sell my soul for one of these doughnuts.
Oh, how I love thee!! Huge and insanely delicious doughnuts that are moist and just right on the sweet factor. I tried their seasonal, the pumpkin glaze and oh man was it good. I also saw that they had a NY Yankees doughnut which I thought was cute. On an interesting note, I saw they serve Chai tea, and I asked to see if it was the powdered kind and the man behind the counter told me it was the real thing, well I'll have to try it next time.
I am going to be a little different from most of the reviewers here.... the donuts were needlessly sweet. OMG.. after a few bites I could not eat anymore, and I don't care if you gave me milk to chug it down. Don't get me wrong the few bites of the Creme Brulee and the Tres Leches donuts that I had were wonderful.
The donuts were very unique, especially the creme brulee with the sugar crust, since when do you see that on a donut? The filling was sweet and the crust had some bitterness which was a nice touch.
I am gonna leave this short and simple, if you enjoy an extremely sweetened donut, this is it, you found your calling, but if you want something less sweet like sweets found in say... Japan, you will be in for a shock.
I am glad I went and tried the two donuts that I did (btw I ate only half of each) but I don't think i will be going here anytime soon.
This place is my best friend and my worst enemy. The first time I went, I brought home three delicious magical doughnuts (meyer lemon cake, meyer lemon yeast, and tres leches cake) and immediately after consuming the last one, I went on a month-long sugar diet cause of the guilt.
Today I finally allowed myself to go back and I felt okay after inhaling my vanilla bean yeast doughnut. Actually, I regretted not buying more than one but I think it was destiny that they were already out of the pumpkin and the carrot cake by the time I got there.
Pretty sure I'm getting up early tomorrow morning to buy out the pumpkin doughnuts.
WTH. WTH is wrong with you people at Doughnut Plant. Why did you make something so right, yet so wrong on my hips? You make me curse you each time I get on the D train and travel 1 hour to eat three of your orgasmic treats in one sitting.
This is a love hate relationship.
Okay, I may be killed for saying I'm actually NOT a fan of Doughnut Plant. I know, I know. But honestly, it was way too sweet. like excessive. I have a sweet tooth but I really couldn't hang.
You know that feeling that you have when you overeat? And you're like, "God I hate myself. I wish I didn't do that."? That's pretty much how I felt after 2 bites. I tried two donuts - the super chocolatey one (recommended by the guy at the counter) and tres leches. If you like just a classic frosted donut, you're gonna hate this place. I think it may have also been hyped up too much so hopefully I'm lowering expectations for anyone who is going to go in the future.
Call me Plain Jane, but gimme a dunkies any day.
I have been wanting to go to this Keebler elf-like factory since I moved to the neighborhood a few months back. But for some reason, I deprived myself with the excuse, "Those will make me fat..."
Two weeks ago, I gave into my temptation and tried the seasonal flavor "Pumpkin." The plant offers it in either a cake or yeast option; I went with the classic yeast. I had every intention to have only a few bites and toss the confection. But my first bite felt took me into such oblivion I could not stop eating. Before I knew it, I had devoured the ENTIRE doughnut (which is huge). Damn it!
I am glad I dismissed my original excuse as BS and treated myself. And I cannot wait to try their better known flavors such as creme brule and tres leches...
Doughnut Plant is what doughnuts should be... perfect moisture/texture, great size, excellent flavor options... I don't know what more you could possible want from a doughnut. In my opinion, Doughnut Plant is to doughnuts as Magnolia Bakery is to cupcakes!
The Creme Brulee doughnut is straight out of heaven- the doughnut has a hard sugar top with the creamy-creme brulee as the filling.... truly, words cannot describe the joy that you will experience while eating this doughnut... in fact, I almost want to say that I enjoy the creme brulee doughnut from Doughnut Planet MORE that actual creme brulee....
Also very note worthy is the Apple Cinnamon doughnut, which has actual pieces of apple in the cinnamon glaze!
The pumpkin seasonal flavored doughnut was also quite yummy... but the others were stronger. Next time I go, I will try the black out (essentially "death by chocolate").
Leaving the city, I had to stop. My kids wanted it. My neighbors kid never had it. "Go, my first born son" I slid him a twenty. I want a Creme Bruele. He comes back, sorry. They do have peanut butter and Jelly. I tell him to get two as well as Devils food.
I bring my wife in the burbs a NYC treat. Everyone is happy. ahhh.. Heaven.
After my family has been hearing from me about Doughnut Plant, We decided on stopping by before… Read more »
It was worth the wait and the tres leches is the best doughnut I have ever tasted. Mind-blowingly delicious is one way to describe it.
Still have the blackout, PBJ, Chocolate to try, but one bite can change your views and you'd be dunkin' others in one of the city's many overflowing trash depositories.
They ran out of the Creme Brulee, but I'll be back. Willis was here.
OMG. If I were not Christian, I would worship the holy creme brulee donut. In fact, I think after my first bite I lifted it up towards the blue sky and rejoiced. I will never eat another Krispy Kreme again.
Creme brulee: YUM.. but that's only if you like creme brulee. Real vanilla beans... it's the real stuff inside. Real deal. The top tastes just like a creme brulee burnt sugar topping.
PB and J: It's square like a sandwich and tastes just like a pb and j. I believe this particular time it was strawberry.
Apple: It's the cakey kind. Nothing that special.
Vanilla Bean: Good, but it's just a normal glazed donut... perhaps a little larger than the normal size.
5 stars for the creme brulee donut.
if this place was near me in LA, I'd gain all my weight back very quickly.
Its addicting. After one bite, we went back for more donuts.
I'd also be broke since its about $3-$4 a donut.
Its such an interesting taste. It a donut that tastes exactly like the flavor its advertising but, a peanut butter jelly sandwich donut really just tastes like a peanut butter jelly sandwich thats been deep fried...
- creme brulee donut was good and had a real creme brulee glaze on the top
- tres leches donut was the best!
- coconut donut was just ok...too big and too coconut-y
- all of the donuts were very sweet and i usually do not like cream/jelly filled donuts but these were are pretty good
Totally hidden in an unexpected location. The store is very simple and OLD. However, their doughnuts are great and they use only fresh and or organic ingredients.
It is slightly on the pricey side. Each doughnut is $2 and above. We got the Black Out and Strawberry Filling Doughnuts and they are very good and pretty big.
I am glad to be able to come to this historic doughtnut place.
Good donuts and very friendly staff. I like that their square filled donuts don't have a big glob of jelly in the middle. It all stays nice and balanced in each bite. The creme brulee was also nicely done, velvety custard with lots of vanilla.
Overall they were tasty but didn't top out on the deliciousness meter. I'm reserving that fifth star until I can give the tres leches a try for myself.
