Maple glazed doughnut and 24 ounce iced coffee
cindi h.

First, not permanently closed. I'm eating a bad ass doughnut here right now. Good vibe little spot with delightful, airy, barely-there doughnuts. Literally melts in your mouth. I can only attest to the one I'm eating, right now. Sooo good. They also have a menu with food, didn't try so I can't comment but there a couple of tables in here so you can definitely sit.

Cinnamon sugar, strawberry frosted, and glazed
Maggie B.

I enjoyed these doughnuts! As others have noted, they were quite large and definitely shareable. The dough was fresh and moist. My favorite flavor was the glazed. The strawberry frosted was okay, but the frosting was a little too sweet. The cinnamon sugar is also worth a try.

Fat Doughnut was sooo good!! Picture this. I woke up at 1:30am to get on a plane home to NY at 5am. I dragged myself out of JFK to the airtrain then waited on the morning J for 15 minutes. My blood sugar was dropping, and I had a dire need for something sweet. I planned to stop at a cafe near the Kosciuszko stop, but when I went to open their door it was closed!! As I searched for other coffee spots, I realized how close Fat Doughnut is. With my bags and intense sunburn, I voyaged over and am so glad I did. It's a small shop, and I wish they had labels so I could see which donut is which, but there are still a few tables and spots to sit down inside. I ordered an iced coffee, a maple glazed donut, and a cinnamon roll (I'm not me when my blood sugar is low). The iced coffee was really great, and I didn't have to pay extra for syrup in it. I was shocked and amazed. I paid around $11 for everything, and sometimes you can't get an iced coffee for under $6 in Brooklyn. The maple glazed was so delicious. You can definitely taste a bit of the oil, but I didn't mind at all because for me it seemed so fresh. Really one of the best textures I've had. I went home before having the cinnamon roll as my blood sugar issue was solved. A few hours later, I toasted the cinnamon roll and it was really yummy! Not the best one I've had, but it was pretty solid. I will be back soon!

Super cute ambiance with the freshest best tasting doughnuts around! Great coffee too! They always have new doughnuts. The cashier / barista is super cute too ;).

maple donut, Cappuccino

Best donut i've ever had in new york, must try! amazing staff, amazing coffee, good vibe! can't recommend enough!!

Maple glazed
Brian M.

The person working said the maple glaze was their favorite donut. Bought one and took it home to eat. I took a bite and thought, hmmm tastes doughy. I looked closer at the donut and realized it was RAW! The glaze was good I guess.

Inside, free wifi
Regina X.

Small selection of doughnuts, but they're each pretty large and good to share! Poppyseed roll + classic menu of coffees and lattes. Great stop to get your carb fill! Fat Doughnut has free wifi and some tables too if you're looking for a spot to work.

Best doughnuts ever. Pillowy, chewy, huge, and the frosting on the vanilla tastes like dunkaroo frosting

Maple walnut donut!
Lis F.

Best donuts on the planet! Check out this maple walnut donut! Excellent iced coffee and friendly service!

Breakfast Platter to go
Iris H.

I came by last weekend after running errands and there was a line but it went quickly. They were already out of a few donuts at 11:00am but still had a good selection. I ordered the chocolate and glazed donut along with the breakfast platter to go. It took maybe 10 minutes for the food so I ate a donut and coffee. They have a smaller space but do a lot with seating. A group of 4 would fit along the window or by combining two tables together. The donuts were fairly large and delicious but my three star rating is due to the breakfast platter. I ordered it to go so wasn't expecting nice presentation but everything was wayyyyyy overacted. The platter comes with two hash browns and I wasn't able to eat either of then they were so salted. The eggs were also over salted and they only provide one piece of bacon cut up. The donuts and coffee were great but that's likely all I'd return for.

Reviews are largely positive. People praise the fresh, airy doughnuts, unique and delicious flavors, and friendly, quick service, as well as the welcoming cafe atmosphere.

We shared: - Mango Passion Donut - La Donna (Raspberry & Black Currant) Donut - Calamansi Meringue Donut They were all fantastic. I couldn't pick a favorite because I loved them all. I'd say these are in the top 5 donuts that I've ever had. I was trying to have a slight amount of self control, but there were at least 3 more that I wanted to try.

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.

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 were several choices of donuts and pastries. They were all very fresh. There are plenty of donut spots to visit in NYC and beyond, but make sure you stop by Peter Pan the next time you are in town. 5/5 Til we eat again....

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. In person you can buy as little as 1. Some years passed since my last review, and I have not had any bad experiences since then. Their donuts are always fresh, they take cash only in store, but their donuts are so cheap, but never in quality.

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!!

So so chewy your jaw will have to get to work; i can see how some ppl wouldn't like it bc it's too chewy and dense but i loved it rating: 4/5 - if i take into consideration of the whole menu, this would probably be 3/5 but since i always just get the scallion pancake and pastries, and they have consistently been delectable, it's a solid 4! - i just love the texture and flavor a lot especially the xia - the ambiance is super hippie and chill; it's a perfect spot for breakfast and quick bites; they also got this bar section with a tv playing old school films giving retro vibes - their pastries were all delicious with some unique selection - service has consistently been amazing; workers there were all happy and chill vibes - definitely give it a try but start from the xia and pastries for sure IG: @nom.noms.only

But this review is about something bigger than dessert. The strawberry cheesecake here reminds me of my mom. It was her favorite, and it was one of the last desserts I got to share with her. 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.

Got a bit concerned when we got there around 8,30 am to see a lock on the door (it was open) and no one inside. But somebody working there showed up to my husband's relief who was getting very concerned. Wonderful selection! We settled on box of 4 to get a deal (the prices area tad higher, but so is the quality) - so tried the coconut creme one (fantastic), the original creme brulee (small, but tasty and full of flavor and personality), tres leches (smaller side, but great glaze) and the star - vanilla bean and blackberry jam that was so nice and fresh! A nice sample, four fantastic representatives, some are their original ones! They have fun seating inside - furniture, decor, tiles - all have doughnut shape or motif and a few tables outside - which we chose for a nice day. We also got 2 cappuccino-s which were just right, nice, foamy, strong. Nice service, beautiful fancy doughnuts! We fell in love with Doughnut Plant, since it's a local NY chain, do yourself a favor and check one of their locations while in the area! No regrets!
