Rosy L.

Had a sweets craving and boy did this satisfy it. We got the ube cheesecake and the chocolate with cocoa nibs and they were absolutely scrumptious. The filling on the ube cheesecake was so good. Each donut is ginormous and super heavy though so we were only able to eat half of each! The dough is very dense and chewy which I loved. Would love to try the other flavors!

These donuts were amazing! We got the ube cheesecake and the dulce de leche. I loved both! Dulce de leche was much messier but worth it.

Dulce de Leche doughnut

Maybe the doughnuts are better in the main locations, but I've been to this stand in Urbanspace many times (as it's conveniently on my way to work) and have found the doughnuts here pretty lackluster. I don't know why everyone keeps recommending them to me. The dough is plain, thick, and covered by glaze that is stingingly sweet and doesn't taste like the advertised flavor. The top portion tends to be dry, while the bottom is often dripping with grease, as if they left the doughnuts sitting in a cold puddle of oil after taking them out of the fryer. They are the largest and most dense doughnuts I've had of this type in NYC (the ones at Doughnut Plant and Doughnut Project are lighter, more flavorful, and more moist) - almost at a bagel level of carb density. Probably great for carb loading before running a marathon or any exercise that burns thousands of calories immediately. The service is also a hit or miss. Today they gave me my doughnut and proceeded to take care of several large orders from customers behind me before preparing my tea. As a result, I had to stand there for 10 mins holding my doughnut, anxious about getting back to work, for them to take 2 seconds to fill a cup with hot water. I've tried several flavors and none of my experiences here justified the $4.50 price. These oversized, greasy, plain-tasting lumps of dough are definitely not worth the calories.

Cheesecake doughnut

The donuts here are MASSIVE! Don't worry about the price because two people can easily share one of their doughnuts I got the dulce de leche and the cheesecake doughnuts. The dulce de leche isn't pictured because it was eaten too quickly. I preferred the dulce de leche because the flavor on top seemed to melt into the doughnut. Minus 1 star only because the doughnuts are not made fresh throughout the day and the inside texture was on the thick side

Passion fruit(recommended by the employees)
Lori C.

We had the hardest time finding this place. Glad we finally got here though because it was awesome! The doughnuts are really big and have a dense "chew" to them. Almost like a really airy bagel. Upon the recommendation of the super friendly employees we got the passion fruit one. It had a great tangy/ sweet flavor. So different from any other doughnuts I've had. I absolutely loved every bite of it. Seriously, who goes to a doughnut shop and just gets ONE doughnut to SHARE?!? Well, I did that day. We had a day of eating ahead and Dough was the 3rd place we'd been to before 10:30 am. But, it was so yummy I know I'll go back to try others. Maybe I'll even try the classic glazed just for fun.

Not really my type of donuts..ordered the cafe au lait and lemon poppy donut.. I think out of both of these donuts the lemon poppy was decent, it might've been a bit too tangy for me versus what I'm use to lemon poppy for what it is known as. The cafe au lait is probably not my best choice, it taste very dark and bitter. There are different varieties of donuts to choose from so maybe if you're interested in trying something rather than my choices then you should. -located inside of Urbanspace, lots of restaurants inside -customer service was average Tips* for a donut shop, water would definitely be recommended, maybe like free water cups or some sort *sampling donuts would be great as well because the donuts are pretty big and it would be a waste of money if you don't finish it.

Dem donuts dough

Dat Donut dough. NYC has some of the best doughnuts in the world, and Dough is the place to get them. But not this one. The original location in the heart of Brooklyn. I am a massive fan of Dough - the original location in Brooklyn. This one isn't half as good and there are plenty of different reasons for that. One main reason is that original locations are always (almost always) better. Another reason is that I don't think they put as much love into the franchise locations as they do the donuts at the original place. But maybe I'm on crack and I don't know what I'm talking about. Or I may not be on crack but I definitely love eating crack. All I know is that when I stop in Brooklyn they taste like perfection and when I stop here they're good but not orgasmic. Maybe it's all in my head, much like the funny voices telling me to harm other Yelpers.

Urbanspace
Caroline N.

After eating a disappointing donut from another location, I was craving a donut...so bad and yet so good. Since I was by Grand Central, I swing by Urbanspace since Dough is there. So many choices to choose from. I went for special of the day: raspberry praline. Chocolate dipped donut surrounded by praline with raspberry topping. So chocolately and delicious...a light donut so you don't feel it's heavy. Tried to save 1/2 the donut...nope, it's all gone. One issue is that the chocolate can get everywhere. Get some napkins before it happens.

Cafe au lait donut
Cindy W.

Dough donuts has to be one of the best donut places I've ever tried. Their dough, true to their name, is so soft and fluffy. I ordered the cafe au lait and the staff told me it was his favorite donut. There's some espresso in it giving it some of the rich coffee flavor but there are also some crunchy bits in the glaze that provide a nice textural element in contrast to the soft dough. Additionally, I didn't think the glaze was overly sweet, so I didn't feel like I was in a sugar cone afterwards. They offer a unique variety of donuts which are much different to the typical flavors you see in most donut shops. If you get the chance, stop by and try a few including the hibiscus and cafe au lait!

Michelle B.

Not a fan. Got the chocolate salted caramel. Yeah the donut is huge, but it's mostly cake and that part was super dry. I'm all for salted caramel but the salt chunks were very overpowering.

Most amazing donut I've ever had! I am not a dessert person and neither do I indulge in unhealthy…read moreeating very often. But I had a craving one morning for some sugar and 'Dough' was on my way. I walked in and realized one of their donuts was going to at least spread out for over 2 days for me. The flavors looked so delicious. I decided to go for 'Toasted Coconut'. Amazing nutmeg-y finish and I have to say I love the yeastiness of the donut - did not feel like straight up sugar, but felt like a complex cake/bread - the sourness did come through. The donut has body and texture. My donut world has changed from now on. If I encounter donut people, I will definitely recommend this place. And maybe next year try one of their other amazing flavors. It did cost me $6.80 but I'm telling you these are gigantic - one for 2 people I'd say. The place is simple, cute and clean - standard NYC modern shop. So not much to report here.

We stopped at Dough in Flatiron for doughnuts because we heard that they were really good. We got…read morethe plain glaze, passion fruit and blueberry lemon crumble, and were sorely disappointed. The donuts were extremely dense and tasted like a loaf of bread. I think if that's how you like your donuts, you will like it here. But if you are looking for light, fluffy donuts, keep looking. At $7 per donut (with tax), it was definitely overpriced and not worth it. We did not finish the donuts. Service was friendly and the place was clean but we will definitely not be returning.

Really great Donut Shop in Greenpoint Brooklyn, with the Old Skool Polish Neighborhood Vibes…read more The Donuts here are FANTASTIC - huge selection, super sweet & highly caloric but if you're gonna go for it, you'd be hard pressed to find a better spot! 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...

There have been many copycat recipes, many have tried and failed including this reviewer, but Doughnut Plant doesn't even try to replicate, they just make this delicious, coconut creamy filled, yeasty donut that is the closest to Leonard's malasada as I have tasted, in texture, flavor, and filling.

Anyways, one order of the mini donuts, they are super customizable and if you need help picking and choosing flavors and toppings, the staff member can provide suggestions and pairings.

The problem with massive strawberries is eating them. If I had a knife, I could cut them into smaller pieces as eating them on a skewer stick got really messy.

I was also eyeing the croffles because they looked almost like ice creams. You can get these to go or if you'd like to eat as you roam around, the owner will put them in a paper boat/container for you. She was so patient and makes all of her treats fresh it seems.

I'm talking about an establishment that makes high-quality gourmet treats. As you can imagine, I was thrilled to see this one opening in the neighborhood last year.

The glaze twist is one of my favorites. It's wonderfully sweet while not cloying, and I especially enjoy topping it with the Bon Mama berry jam I have at home. The Boston creme is truly made with love. It's sufficiently stuffed with creme and topped with a thick layer of chocolate ganache - the expensive stuff! The coffee donut is also delicious.
