The last time I sang praises for a 'donut' was Dominique Ansel's limited time raspberry pandan cronut, which isn't 'technically' a donut. But Fan-Fan won my heart with their beautifully decorated, not-so-sweet, and soft donuts. Not to mention, the ladies working at Fan-Fan are the sweetest rays of sunshine. My partner and I got half a dozen donuts, big donuts, for the great price of 4-5 dollars each. These aren't a rip off like the tiny Daily Provision crullers, or diabetes bombs like Krispy Kreme. Fan-fan donuts are all mildly sweet, with fresh fluffy dough, and delicious cream. The guava and cheese and dulce de leche donuts are must orders. The seasonal apple miso paired with an oolong tea is divine. The chocolate and churro donut features a rich dark chocolate and crispy churro that's perfect with coffee. If donut shops could learn to cut down on the sugar and balance out their flavors with a little salt, we would all be in a better place. That's what makes Fan-Fan a sanctuary for people like me. Decadence without the guilt. read more

I came mainly because of the mango lassi doughnut and left disappointed (note to self: do not high expectations). The mango lassi doughnut was meh, nothing impressive and it felt like it was sitting there for a while. Doughnuts looked pretty but did not taste as expected. They do have a large variety of creative flavor combinations if you want to try unique doughnuts. read more

Donuts here are dense and hold their shape well even with the toppings. The spongy softness of the donut returns to form after each bite. I got this special donut that was topped with dark chocolate and roasted green tea (though I did not taste any hints of it). The topping is airy and light and just sweet enough. The donuts here will be a hit for anyone who is looking for flavors in the diasporas: mango lassi, guava and cheese, chocolate glazed with cute mini churros on top. That's certainly what drew me in. No seating except one slender outdoor bench, so everything needs to be taken to go. read more

I've been wanting to try Fan-Fan for ages, so thrilled I finally had the chance, they definitely lived up to ALL of the hype! I was able to preorder the donuts I wanted for pickup on their website online, and it was the very end of AAPI month, so I even got to try one of their special collab donuts the Pandan Coconut, so good! Once I arrived, I received a warm welcome, and picking up my pre order was so quick and easy. The shop was bright, open, clean, and the display with all of their current flavors had my mouth watering! Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the flavors but my two standout flavors were the La Donna (black currant & raspberry glaze with baked meringue) and the Mango Lassi (with mango cardamom glaze and a yogurt glaze drizzle and pistachio). Truly, I could probably eat those two every single day and never get tired of the flavors. Do yourself a favor and RUN there, their standard flavors are delicious but keep an eye out for their special flavors as well. read more

Saw this place on TV a few weeks before my trip to NYC and told myself I've got to try this place. Went out of my way to Brooklyn in the morning just for this. We were greeted warmly as we went into the shop. They do not have seats for customers inside. The doughnut flavors are unique. Guava and cheese was my favorite. Very soft with delicately balanced contrasting sweetness from guava and saltiness from cream cheese. Delicious. La Donna was a raspberry black currant glazed doughnut. It was good too. I wanted to try the mango lassi donut but it was not available at that time. One of the best doughnuts I ever had. Definitely worth the visit. read more

About a 1-1.5: Fan-Fan Doughnuts is a super popular 'artisanal handmade doughnut' shop that makes their items on-site in small batches. We ordered half a dozen of: +La Donna - topped with a black currant & raspberry glazed and a baked meringue (with dried corn flower petals) +a Classic Glaze - made with vanilla extract from Mexico +a Mango Lassi donut +a Chick donut - an Easter special; passion fruit flavored +an egg-shaped donut - an Easter special; topped with a pomegranate glaze and homemade sprinkles, filled with vanilla diplomat cream +and, a Caramelized Apple Bun The donuts looked aesthetically pleasing, but they didn't taste fresh - honestly, they seemed like it was sitting out for a while or were at least a day old. They were not even warm at all, which was also super disappointing. Staff could have been friendlier; make sure you know what you want to order, as the lines are long, and the staff can become impatient. Super overhyped! +not-so-fresh donuts +not-so-friendly staff +long lines read more

I'm picky when it comes to doughnuts=donuts. Is there a right way to spell this? Back to the point, very picky. I want to try them all, especially the unique flavors. Which was why I couldn't wait to come here! I was hoping to like these more. With all the great reviews, background story, I couldn't wait to try. I would say they were just okay. The raspberry lemongrass, was lacking in lemongrass flavor completely. The raspberry was present, but just as a topping it didn't really give me a raspberry donut experience. I asked for an 'old fashioned' or plain, and the kind lady gave me one from the back, an untouched one, the base donut. Again, just okay. It was a pretty bland yeasty donut. Went well with my coffee. Love the vibe and the service was great. read more

Saw on ABC news mentioning it's a Michelin star runner up so I had to try it out. This donut shop is small with no seating. They serve the same donut base but with some amazing toppings. Keep in mind that they are pricey but still I wanted to try it out (at least once). I ordered a dozen assorted donuts. Not every donut was labeled. They set it out on a wooden platform so you basically point and choose. See pictures. Their toppings are generous and unique. The few that I remember the names of were: white coffee, churro chocolate, passion mango, yuzu, pistachio, cardamom, guava cheese, mango lassi, raspberry black currant and honey glaze. In conclusion the donuts were flavorful and unique. Glad I got to try them. I would say this is something that would be a great treat to bring to someone's party or for a holiday. Great conversation piece. They do have a frequent buyer card where you stamp it every visit and after 10 visits, you get a half dozen free...worth the visit if you live nearby and can afford it! Staff is very friendly. read more

I saw this place was a runner-up in the Michelin Guide and had been meaning to check it out. I know a few other donut shops occupied this spot before Fan-Fan moved in, but if my experience is any indication, this one's here to stay. I couldn't choose between the enormous variety, and the cashier was very kind and patient, letting me take my time, even allowing a few people in front of me while I made a decision. I eventually went with the Iranian Love and Milk and Cookies. The former is cream cheese frosting, rose petals, and pistachios; the latter is Maria cookie milk frosting with a chocolate chip cookie topping. I was told Iranian Love is a fan favorite, and I can absolutely see why. Both of the donuts were immaculate: made to perfection and full of care. Definitely need to come back and try more. read more

I'm not sure how I've never gotten around to reviewing Fan Fan, which I think along with By Kora is serving up some of the most cutting-edge donuts and donut-adjacent sweets in the city.

A donut shop with great, friendly, and warm customer service! In regard to taste, however, the donuts I've had here were a 3/5. Sometimes the flavors were a little too meshed together and confusing at times, whereas sometimes less is more. They do have unique creations, though, flavor-wise. If interesting flavor combinations are more your style, you may very well end up really like Fan-Fan Doughnuts. read more

Fan-Fan Doughnuts - Coffee donut and raspberry lemongrass donut - Donuts Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Anyone who prefers cake donuts over yeast donuts is crazy, and if you're crazy, don't come here! I said what I said and I stand by it. I also stand by this: Fan fan has delicious yeast style donuts. I came right when they opened on a Sunday morning because other reviews mentioned a line forms- I was the only non-employee in the shop. The lady working the counter was nice and explained what each of the special donut flavors were. I ordered the Danny boy, white coffee, la Donna, choc choc, and a passion fruit filled special. I liked all of them, but my favorites were the Donna (berry) and the chocolate glazed. Taking a bite of one then the other is a good pairing. I also ordered a London fog tea latte that was very mild and to be frank, boring. Donuts are their specialty, not tea, so no big deal. A word of caution: If you choose a glazed donut, do not try to eat them while walking unless you are prepared for a mess. I brought them home to eat at a table and I don't think I have the grace to attempt eating these in transit. read more

Fan-Fan Doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Life-changing donuts. You can really tell how much thought and effort goes into each flavor--there are layers of taste in every bite. I usually hate overly sweet desserts, but these were perfectly balanced. Some leaned sweet-and-salty, which I loved. The donuts themselves weren't oily or dry--just moist and fluffy, kind of like a high-quality milk bread. Not as airy as I expected, but still so good. My favorite flavors were the brown butter and guava & cheese--both absolutely to die for. The brown butter had this beautiful toasted butter flavor with just a hint of caramel and salt--not too sweet, just rich and indulgent. And the guava & cheese? Fruity glaze with a slightly salty cream cheese filling--perfectly balanced. The brown butter crumb topping on that one was heavenly. It was a bit of a trek for me, so I picked up a bunch of flavors thinking I wouldn't go back anytime soon--but honestly, those two alone are worth the trip. I also love how they incorporate flavors from different cultures--like the South Asian-inspired mango lassi, the Mexican churro donut, the Persian love cake, and I believe there was even a seasonal gochujang flavor. It's creative and refreshing to see. I tried their hot chocolate too--so rich, thick, and deeply chocolaty. Definitely for dark chocolate lovers. If you're not into strong chocolate, you might want to add milk. My only disappointment was the homemade marshmallow--it contains gelatin, so it's not vegetarian-friendly. I wish they had an alternative like whipped cream. read more

It smelled amazing from even outside before even walking in. They have a great selection of donuts for whatever type of mood you are in the day. They also serve paletas, coffee, horchata and a bunch of other items. Both of the donuts I got were fantastic but the guava and cheese one was the star of the show for me. My absolute favorite thing about the 2 that I got were that they weren't too sweet. They had a perfect balance that didn't make me feel bad for eating both right then and there. Staff was noticeably kind and if I'm in the area I would 100% stop by again! read more

Fan-Fan Doughnuts - MEXICAN CINNAMON - SUGAR And Guava Cheese - Donuts Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Sitting in the corner of an unassuming street sits a cute little donut shop. It had an industrial feel inside. The lady inside was helpful. I asked if there was ice coffee and there was. The small is 16 oz and large is 20 oz. We got the Danny Boy donut which was brown sugar caramel, the mango lassi that the top coating tasted very much like the drink mango lassi, and the Boston Cream which is not in the typical round shape. Everyone said their donut is very sweet but good. I had the mango lassi. The donut itself is a typical soft airy yeast donut but the topping is what differentiates it from anything I've had before. It is super sweet and had a distinct mango flavor. Two pistachios decorating it. They have a variety of teas. You have to add your own milk and sugar. The total cost was $27.47 for 3 drinks and 3 donuts. read more

Now THIS is how you doughnut!! As a donut aficionado, I had high expectations when I stepped into Fan Fan, but I can confidently say they exceeded them. From the moment I stepped foot into the tiny Brooklyn shop my senses were overwhelmed in the best way. With gorgeous guava donuts on display and the smell of sugar in the air, I was hard pressed not to order one of everything. I somehow managed to settle on 4 (my bestie later sacrificed one of hers so I could take one home to my sister) and everything was incredible. Perfect, pillowy, yeasty, textures. Innovative bold yet balance flavors. I was in heaven. The Miso Ringo was a standout for me but everything was amazing. Not many places are worth the social media hype, Fan Fan is the exception. I wasn't even out the door before I began plotting my return. read more

Solid doughnut shop that is worth going out of your way for. To be honest I am not a huge specialty donut person, and the reputation of Fan-Fan is definitely specialty donuts. That being said, I found their selection of donuts did a great job. While there were some more extravagant and with toppings (eg. churro with chocolate), others were in a more simple style with just the glaze being a unique flavor (passionfruit, mango, etc.). Overall, great donuts, great selection of novelty flavors. I believe they go for around $4 a pop!1 read more

Yeast donuts so a bit more doughy and savory They have interesting and unique flavor combination My favorite was the La donna followed by the cinnamon sugar. Was not a fan of their frosting donuts. I would stick to the non frosting donuts as those were EXCELLENT. Sadly, they ran out of chocolate and churros, but I can't wait to go back and try it! read more

The best doughnuts in NY. Rotating flavors, but the classic glazed is a staple and it's perfect. The fruit flavors are tart in the best way, and they often have unexpected flavor combinations. The staff are always friendly, and the women making the doughnuts are often singing and chatting in a way that gives the space such a fun feel. Any line they have moves quickly. read more

I usually prefer cake donuts to yeast but these were really special. I got the guava cheese, mango lassi, and white coffee. The guava cheese was delicious. The white coffee was great. The mango lassi was a bit too sour for me. I enjoy the Indian beverage so was really looking forward to this donut but couldn't eat more than one bite of it. The service was great, quick, and friendly. The location is a bit inconvenient, couldn't find parking. I wouldn't come out of my way for this place but I would pick up donuts from here if I was in the neighborhood. Overall 4.5/5 read more

I was super excited to try FanFan on one of my trips to NYC last year but when I finally did, I realized I've gotten spoiled by LA's superior donut market. FanFan was 3.5 stars at best.

Now I know that while NY will always have better pizzas and bagels, LA will always have better tacos and donuts.. read more

These are great donuts! We got a guava cheese and a Danny Boy, both were well balanced and unique flavors for donuts. I LOVED the guava one especially. I'm giving 4 stars because I think I prefer a more "fresh out the fryer" donut. These are more artisanal and inventive. The end result is something that's cold and moving towards soggy. For an artisanal donut, it's one of the better ones I've had. But for example Sidecar donuts in California is both artisanal and fresh. read more

kind of overhyped. descent donuts but on the pricier end (~$5-6ish). i tried an assortment with the glazed, birthday cake, churro, and cinnamon and honestly they were just kind of okay. though they were soft, fresh, and the flavors delivered, i didn't think they were memorable. very busy inside, i ordered beforehand online and was kind of bummed they had sold out of a few of the flavors already. they do sell coffee and ice cream as well. i enjoyed my donuts outside on their pink bench which was a cute spot. read more

Fan-Fan Doughnuts - White Coffee Doughnut - Donuts Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Donuts with the texture and flavor of milk bread. I was drawn in by the unique flavors, to find that they are just different icings on top of the same bready base. The "Iranian Love" had a delicious cream cheese icing with hints of citrus, and I loved the dark chocolate ganache atop the "Churros and Chocolate". But the donuts themselves were overproofed. My only selection that I would eat again was the Guava Cream Cheese, an eclair-like pastry soaked in what I think was a guava reduction, filled with smooth cream cheese, and coated in a sweet, delicately crunchy walnut streusel. read more

Brought 6 donuts home: Milk and Cookies. Asked daughter for her review, simply "I want to live in Brooklyn" La Donna. Raspberry. Sweet red currant. Topped with a crunchy meringue it was refreshing! Luna Limon. Glazed with lemon, candied lemon topping. It couldn't compete with the LaDonna. Madre Terra. AhMazing. Not overtly sweet but with a buttercream pistachio that filled the hole in my heart and hole of the donut. Super pretty with edible flowers. Churro. Surprisingly crispy after a few hours out, chocolate was dark but not cloyingly sweet with a hint of spice? Cinnamon? Iranian- I expected cream cheese from the color of the base but the word that came to mind was savory. Great mouthfeel buttercream, again not overly sweet, with a warming touch that I couldn't place -- but was distinctly middle Eastern that I wish I had some Turkish coffee to complement it. read more

Fan-Fan Doughnuts - Bar of deliciousness - Donuts Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We came on a snowy day and ordered a hot chocolate with marshmallow and croutons and tried 6 donuts: guava and cheese, Iranian Love, white coffee, cream cheese date, and classic glazed braid. We LOVED the donuts! My favorite was the guava and cheese - it tasted like a cheesecake with a graham like cookie sprinkled on top, a subtle later of guava jam and a delicious and plentiful cream cheese filling! IT'S SO GOOD. The cream cheese date tasted similar but with a subtle date jam on top. The Iranian Love had a lemon cream cheese frosting with sprinkles of pistachio and dried rose - the lemon cream was so refreshing. The classic glazed braid was simple but tasted so good too. The white coffee, my least favorite, tasted exactly like its name so I know if you're a fan of coffee, this one is a good choice. I'd skip on the hot cocoa though - It was a little too thick for my liking and I did not like the mix of the croutons. read more
