Not bad for a quick treat. Had an Apple Fritter (pretty good) and ice cream (so-so, the Cinnamon Churro flavor tasted like peanut butter) Service was friendly

Us after Holey Cream changed our lives.

I dont even think words can explain how much Holey Cream means to me. I came at like 12:30 with two friends and Holey Cream bonded me with them for life. Boy was it special - the employee on duty that night (im sorry i forgot her name) gave me the best recommendation. IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO PISTACHIO - probably should stay away. But luckily the Holey Cream community was there at the store and warned me about the ice cream flavor and made me feel ok that I was allergic to something. Thank you AJ, and Cam, and Macy. Holey Cream became the bit of the week. And boy was it a bit. Everything about it was amazing. And the doughnuts were damn good. Thank you for reading my review. If you need a yummy place to go to with friends... Boy is this whimsical location! Love, Ziggy

Something out of a fever dream, we went to Holey Cream after a Broadway show looking for a late night treat. When we arrived they had a very limited inventory, although that's understandable given the time at night. The more concerning thing was that upon entering we were not greeted by the worker who watched us come in and who we made eye contact with, who was also watching video on her phone in the back while she saw us come in at that. Also, she had a baby with her on her back in a baby backpack, which while we understand the need to take care of your child, we cannot see how that is a good idea when working around open food. After standing there for 30 seconds she came up to us and said "are you ready to order?" and we quickly got our oreo donut and left. The donut was okay, not great but not bad, certainly would've been better if not left out in the open all day, assuming it was freshly made that day. This is probably an outlier experience but it's what we experienced so if you want to test your luck go ahead, we just won't again.

Five star food. 2 to 3 star service. This place is amazing. I've been to another location in the city. The combination of a hot donut mixed with delectable smooth ice cream that's cold. Is such a nice combo. The price is a little steep you pay about $12-$13 for one of these donut sandwiches. But the flavor is amazing. Moose tracks is a phenomenal ice cream flavor. Service was pretty disorderly. They were scrambling. Their Money machine wasn't working. They didn't ask me what flavor I wanted for my doughnut so I just got what they gave me.

I loved their selection of interesting flavors. We tried the chocolate with chocolate chips, the peanut butter chocolate, and their Holey Moley (cookie dough ice cream loaded with M&Ms, fudge and chocolate fudge. They were all decadent.

Went in here asking about a donut sundae and was rudely corrected that it was a sandwich. Okay fine, i order the sandwich. I asked for caramel ice cream and she tells me they don't have it, again, okay fine that happens, but of course she was still rude about it. She then hands me the "sandwich" and it was just ice cream on top of a donut, so a sundae. I wouldn't even have cared if she wasn't so rude about it. The real kicker is I go to pay for it and it's DOUBLE the price online. Not only was i treated rudely, i was scammed, and i couldn't even get what i wanted to order (the donut was dry too but that's not even a concern at this point).

Owner

The owner is racist and disrespectful. I placed a too good to go order and he berated me the entire time in the store. Please do not buy here.

Apple Fritter
Gerardo E.

I've gotten an ice cream before and this time I got an apple fritter. The apple fritter was really good and affordable - the ice cream was not the best I've ever had but also solid. Fast and friendly service.

We came here for a snack after dinner! There was no line and my friend recommended this place as she has been here before. The small vanilla ice cream was good and not too sweet. There is minimal seating and it is a no frills place. My friend recommends the matcha flavor ice cream here too.

Anthony P.

Service was super friendly and there are over 40 ice cream flavors to choose from. You can sample flavors in order to help you choose - they have a few varieties of oreo ice cream (include coffee oreo) The donuts are baked at a separate location - there's display donuts available but none in your immediate view to see how fresh they are. The display donuts obvs aren't the freshest looking. You can however get a donut ice cream sandwich, which is probably their unique item to come here for. Ice cream was just fine - very standard and nothing to write home about. The flavors tried were oreo and holey moley (bunch of candy bits interspersed into the ice cream). If you're looking to scratch an ice cream itch this place does the trick. Not my personal fave ice cream place by far, but is open pretty late which is a nice touch.

Ice cream donut sandwich (Maine blueberry ice cream with M&M/frosting/chocolate sauce donut)
Stephen L.

Holey cream, holey cow!! If you are purely looking for a tasty dessert and can afford some extra sugar in your diet, then this place is perfect for you. Their ice cream donut sandwiches are their specialty, so I had to try one. I got the the Maine blueberry ice cream sandwiched between two halves of a donut with M&Ms, strawberry frosting, and chocolate sauce (made to order). It was every bit as tasty as it sounds. I thought it was just going to be one scoop of ice cream spread around the donut, but I was wrong - they gave 4 whole scoops of ice cream! The ice cream was so creamy and delicious with actual blueberries in it. The donut was top notch as well. Oh, and this giant ice cream sandwich was only $9! The place itself is quite small with a few chairs inside and outside. The lady who served us was friendly and the service speed was fast. The line also wasn't bad at all for a Friday night. Overall, you really can't ask for anything more than this from an ice cream spot: delicious ice cream with a unique product and great value. Come by and you will surely leave happy - just don't tell your dietician.

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!

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.

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...
