The doughnut…or is it donut? We are not exactly sure and are not about to have that debate at this time. Here is what we do know: the doughnut is an unassuming roll of dough which are loaded with sugar, sometimes containing jelly or creme filling and often covered with some sort of glaze and/or topping. The final result = decadent bliss. The doughnut could be considered as the under appreciated distant cousin of the pastry world. The doughnut’s brilliance lies within its simplicity! Now follow us as we give our take on the best doughnuts in NYC…
The Doughnut Plant
Since 1994 the Doughnut Plant has been providing unique, innovative and hand crafted donuts for Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. They pride themselves on the lack of preservatives, artificial flavors and trans fat. The unique flavors and ingredients are what set Donut Plant apart from the rest.

The Doughnut Project
Established in 2015 the Donut project can be considered the relative newcomer to the list. With doughnuts such as the ‘Strawberry Milkshake’ and the sweet & savory ‘Everything Donut’ which has a sweet cream cheese glaze and everything topping, The Doughnut project should be praised for pushing the limits of what is considered a traditional doughnut.

Dun-Well Doughnuts
Established in 2011, Dun-Well probably does the best job of combining the dynamic duo of coffee and doughnuts. Their doughnuts are artisanal and the coffee is all locally roasted. With locations in the Lower East Side as well as Williamsburg, Dun-Well fulfills the ‘hip’ factor of doughnuts shops and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

The Donut Pub
Opened in 1964 by an ex-Wall Street trader you can consider the Donut Pub the OG of NYC Donut shoppes. Open 24 / 7 and frequented by chefs such as Alex Guarnaschelli you can rest assured they are doing something right. With simple names such as the “Sugar Ring” and “Chocolate Cake” the Donut Shop is unassuming and doesn’t add complexity where it is sometimes not needed.

Underwest Doughnuts
Situated inside a Car Wash, Underwest could have the most creative and convenient setting of our list! Scott Levine, who was once a sous chef at Chanterelle creates the masterful menu. Simple no frills donuts can be found, but a key differentiating factor is their sugared variety doughnuts are made to order! There is nothing more satisfying in life than a freshly made doughnut and Underwest delivers.
