blackberry mint mojito
Julie P.

Innovative vegan donut spot in Brooklyn. The flavors are constantly changing and evolving! Upon walking in, I was greeted by a warm staff member who really took his time in explaining the available flavors; even suggested the flavors we should try. The storefront is very simplistic; lots of open space and the decor is meant to draw your eyes to the donuts. There isn't any seating except outside when the weather allows for it. We tried the blackberry mint mojito... fire. Raspberry rosé... peculiar... and brown butter pecan... classic. The donuts are tiny compared to other donut spots which might not appeal to everyone. They truly are bite sized looking. If you look at my pictures, they fit in my tiny hand. Lol. But again, flavors are so outstanding that if you don't care for a large donut, this spot is your jam. That day they were also serving a lemon pistachio cinnamon roll... amazing and I hope they add that on their menu again when the weather warms up. I did have their coffee which wasn't my favorite. But since this is a donut shop, my focus is on the donuts anyways. You must stop in and see for yourself that this spot is worth the try.

Crème Brulee donut
Ally R.

We were walking down the block and spotted a sign for Cloudy Donut and figured we'd give a shot. I was pleased to see that others on Yelp also liked this place. We ordered the blackberry mojito and crème brûlée donuts and both were really top notch. I was impressed with how the blackberry mojito donut glaze really emulated the beverage's nonalcoholic components. You could really taste the blackberry and the mint. These donuts are natural and delicious. Our toddler was crying because they wanted their own donut and the person behind the counter very graciously gave a complimentary sugar donut and this led to big smiles all around.

Was gonna get the tiramisu donut but sold out .. was so sad ..so I got the strawberry champagne.. was very good and not too sweet !! I hope they will have the tiramisu donut permanently cuz I really wanna try it ): The girl who works there was very friendly and nice

Large Piña colada donut and small guava lime donut
Kathleen S.

The donuts at Cloudy Donut were all stunningly displayed, tantalizing in their bright colors and variety. However, my husband and I were underwhelmed by the two we ordered--the guava lime and pina colada. The guava lime came with a thin slice of lime on top of the donut, but otherwise I didn't detect any lime flavor in the frosting itself. The pina colada was better, in part because it was enhanced by the coconut flakes and even sour pineapple on top. But both weren't worth the price. I can't say the yeasted donut parts were anything much better than a yeasted Dunkin Donut. Perhaps we should have ordered a sweet potato cinnamon bun instead.

I've heard of Cloudy Donut and finally decided to visit after a recent collab with another local bakery. Upon arriving I was surprised at the limited donut options and wondered if I had shown up on an off day or maybe they were still baking their goodies? (It was a Saturday morning) To me, it didn't seem as if they had a wide selection of doughnuts nor did I see any other pastries that I've seen pictured in other reviews. The donuts were delicately decorated, but quite mini. I didn't feel that the quality of the donut made up for its size. The establishment is spacious and clean, but they do not offer any indoor seating. However, there are a table or two outside.

Stopped by Cloudy Doughnut early on a Sunday morning and had a great experience. The person at the counter was friendly and welcoming, and there was no line, which made for a relaxed start to the day. I tried the crème brulee and blueberry sage doughnuts, and both were delicious. The crème brulee had great flavor and the blueberry sage was a unique combination that really worked. Everything tasted fresh and was clearly made with care. Definitely worth stopping by.

Was walking around the area and had to stop by to check out these cute donuts. I got offered a sample donut to try out by the front desk person who was so sweet! I tried the Lemon poppy flavor and was sold on trying all other flavors lol. They're perfect bite sized pieces without being too sweet.

Everytime I come back home to Brooklyn I always have to visit this place before I leave. As a vegan These are the only vegan donuts I will eat. Also fresh, always kind, and professional, and in a prime location. It's a perfect place to sit outside and have a nice dessert and latte!

cinnamon rolls
Morlene C.

They may be known for their donuts, and offering 40 flavors of donuts at that, but their other baked goods also live up to the hype. In particular, the cinnamon rolls, which I didn't even know they had until I showed up one Saturday afternoon to find that they had sold out of donuts for the day. An employee could see how disappointed my friends and I looked and told us if we just waited a bit a fresh batch of cinnamon rolls would come fresh out of the oven, so we agreed to buy them. We're so glad we did. I'm an amateur baker, and am pretty proud of my at home cinnamon roll recipe-- these were good enough to make me avoid thinking "I could make these at home." It's hard to mess up fresh out of the oven cinnamon rolls though. I see a lot of reviewers noting how pricey these baked goods are--welcome to NY! You'll feel ripped off every time you step out the house. $8 per pastry is par for the course these days. I don't know if I'd wait hours in line for these, but if you can walk right up to the counter, as we did, they're definitely worth it.

Really lovely shop I ran into on a whim. The donuts are light and flavorful. Even got a free orange glazed donut to try out, such amazing service. Charming shop, will definitely pop in again when I'm in the neighborhood.

Vegan donuts

Whenever I am in New York, I absolutely have to stop at cloudy donut co. The location is beautiful. I usually grab the new flavors of vegan donuts and I walked down to a park nearby and eat. These donuts are absolutely delicious. When I tell you, I crave them as soon as I get out of JFK. I highly suggest you check out this donut shop. They have a couple locations in New York and I wish they had them in my state. Whenever I enter, the staff is really sweet and welcoming. It's a beautiful treat in the summer.

I was drawn to this place after seeing photos online and the fact that they are all vegan. I made the trek to Brooklyn to check out the original location. A small place meant for takeout only as there is no seating inside. No restrooms. The inside is bright and fits the cloudy theme. I found out there is no menu listing of prices. This makes it really hard to decide what/how much to buy without awkwardly asking in the middle of a busy line. The donuts are mini in size and the cinnamon squares are average size. Apparently they have drip coffee too? Again, not listed anywhere on a menu but saw someone get a cup and found out they sell basic drip coffee from a steel canister. Who knows how much it costs? The mini donuts are $4.50 and the cinnamon square is a jaw dropping $10! I was surprised at checkout that I paid just over $15 for a mini donut and cinnamon square. As for the quality... the balsamic fig donut tasted sugary sweet but didn't catch any fig flavor. The cinnamon square tasted very doughy with a very light hint of cinnamon vs a fluffy soft consistency. Disappointing. Overall, while they look pretty they were not the best vegan donuts I've had. For how expensive they are and lacking in flavor, I don't think they are worth the trip. There are way better tasting larger vegan donuts at a better price point in NYC. Would be helpful if they posted prices.

Not worth $11
Shari H.

Finally had a chance to circle back here since they opened in October 2022. FYI they only open on fri-sun and kind of out the way BUT I was in the neighborhood and wanted to visit on a Saturday. Love that they are black-owned and all donuts are vegan. I didn't love the price nor the flavor. Didn't add up to me. I ordered a mini donut (sugarberry) and a single donut in the flavor of blackberry mint mojito for a total of $11! HOW?! and why lol. My immediate thoughts. $4.50 for a mini donut and $6 for a single is a but much. As far as a size reference for the single donut, its similar to the size of a Dough donut. I'd probably go back to try their coffee but not pressed about the donuts unless I see a flavor that really entices me. They announce the flavors of the week on their IG and website. Definitely try it for yourself and see.

Sweet potatoe Cinnamon Bun rated 10 and I promise I haven't tasted one better.

So overrated - paid $30 for tiny, dry donuts with a smear of icing, no filling. They were so dry, might as well just go to Dunkin donuts

It's colossally big and very, very easy to chew on without needing something hot and wet like coffee or tea. But I do think it would be better with a drink. What I've also noticed is that they really prioritize the decorations on the donuts, and I think that also brings out their peak service. I was served during the Governors Ball where there were a lot of people and a lot of vendors. They handled their service very well. I couldn't tell you the exact location of the place because it was a vendor, but I assume it's probably somewhere I would conveniently go to. I definitely wanna go to the Brooklyn location.

There's usually a line to buy donuts but they have tons of women working behind the counter in their retro smocks, filling orders & slinging pastries. Cash Only! No credit cards or mobile payments accepted. They do have an ATM onsite if you don't have cash on you (not that rare these days - I've been caught lacking here from time to time...). Perhaps the greatest quote ever to sum this place comes from the inimitable Tina Fey who discovered the treats here years ago & had this say @ Peter Pan: "The best doughnut? That's Peter Pan doughnuts in Brooklyn... It's a white-cream-filled powdered doughnut. And I really believe, when I first tried it, if I had a penis, I would put it in this doughnut. I finally understand what you guys are thinking about and what motivates you guys." She's not wrong...

Not a huge fan of their coffee or some other dishes. They also always have a BOGO deal on Uber Eats so it's worth ordering.. however there is a donut minimum of half a dozen when ordering.

I remember every Halloween, I looked forward to stopping here bc they gave out donuts too! This spot always hits your cravings, from sweet to savory. I usually go for a classic bacon & egg on a roll. On this visit, I called ahead and asked for salt, pepper, ketchup, but it didn't seem like they added it to my sandwich, unfortunately. This spot even has burgers, chicken sandwiches, TACOSS, and literally any diner-esque dishes you're craving. No-frills spot. I do question their cleanliness at times, but as long as I don't see anything sus, I'll enjoy my food!! Lol Classicc diner spot, with food slightly too greasy and too salty, but it's satisfying nonetheless. And did I mention that it's open 24 hours!? LOVE THAT!!

Anytime she wanted a sweet treat, that's what she asked for. Ordering it now keeps me connected to her. This past July, on her 3rd birthday in heaven, I placed an order to celebrate her. The menu only had cherry cheesecake that day, so I wrote a note explaining what the strawberry meant to me. The staff didn't just make it happen, they sent an extra slice of strawberry cheesecake on top of it. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. The people here have always been this kind. We love everyone who works there, and we're grateful for the small moments of care they've shown our family. Thank you for everything.
