I'm always on the lookout for great doughnuts. Honestly, NYC has kind of disappointed me. I've been to all the recommended spots, but I'm usually let down by either the texture or flavor. Some doughnuts just taste like the oil they were fried in. Others are definitely just for "the gram."
Dough was a pleasant experience. We stumbled upon it serendipitously, as I'd just seen they were releasing a limited time ube cheesecake doughnut that I desperately wanted to try. I went online to see if I could order some, but it said they were sold out!
Luckily, this store had them in stock, and we were able to snag two along with four other flavors. It must have been almost closing time, because they gave everyone 6 for the price of 4. Always a surprise to get anything free in NYC!
My favorite part of each of the doughnuts was how strong the flavors were. The coffee and passion fruit ones were particularly surprising.
The best doughnut, however, was hands down the ube cheesecake. Flavorful, smooth, and with just the right amount of richness. I would order this every time if it hadn't been limited edition.
Will definitely head back to Dough in the future! read more
