    In a somewhat gritty, light-industrial warehouse-filled area, beneath the overhead tracks of the F Train's I stop, is not a lot of anything when it comes to grub. In fact I counted 2 places within a multi-block range... a corner deli with a myriad of fast food choices, and McDonald Ave. Diner, 2 doors down. (Note: there are two large food markets nearby, should you want to whip us something from scratch). I chose the latter place, McDonald Ave. Diner, hoping for something a tad more healthy/tasty. And it is a shiny/clean contrast to the well worn neighborhood. The menu is pretty typical diner fare - 2 pages of breakfast stuff, an assortment of sandwiches, heroes, burgers, noodle dishes, grilled items and pockets of Italian and Mediterranean favorites. With such as range, it's hard to know what they might specialize in. Likewise, it also makes one wonder if they might have too much variety. Example: they had a number of seafood dishes, but seeing how I was the only customer during a weekday lunch hour*, I kinda questioned the turnover of aquatic inventory. Price wise, it's fairly inexpensive, with most meals coming in under $10. And you get what you pay for. It's not bad... just very plain, basic, diner fare. Guy Fieri isn't going to be pulling up anytime soon to try the "previously frozen hamburger patty with lettuce on a plain white bun." As such, I would file this under the category: "not worth a journey, but OK if you're in need of some non-special diner grub." * oddly, I was the only person there at 1 p.m., but when leaving at 2, it suddenly filled with locals.

    6am googled closest diner open and found this little gem. Staff was very professional and warm. She even offered me coffee twice with a shy smile. Decor is pretty new. I ordered a Spanish omelette which was yummy. Will definitely be back and make this a routine spot.

    So it was a no brainer that I was going to love the McDonald Avenue Diner which is conveniently located near the F train Avenue I station across the street from ShoprRite supermarket!

    My husband and I stumbled upon this spot with some friends that were looking for breakfast. We…read moreweren't planning to eat anything, but the donuts looked so good, we had to get some. 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. If I lived nearby, I'd be here all the time. Do yourself a favor and give them a try.

    I enjoy Fan Fan Doughnut. I had the coffee donut on Donut Day and it was so fluffy…read more This donut is not chewy at all. 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.

That quickly went in the list of places I had to go to. I'm so glad I did. I went on a Sunday around 10:30am. There was definitely a crowd but it was minimal and organized chaos in a way. I did get the chocolate cake and original glazed with a sugar rise and a few donut holes. Everything was great. I could taste a little oil from being fried, but that's just my preference. Some people are ok with that. But let's talk about that sugar rise donut! Sugar rise was my favorite! When I bite into any donut covered in granulated sugar it better coat my lips like my chapstick. That sugar just sat on my lips as if it was just meant to be there. The staff were amazing. They were working hard getting orders taken and putting orders out. The interior was quaint and clean. Bottled water for $1 is a major win in my book! So thank you for that. Seating is limited. It's tiny in there. Great spot! Hit them up!

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. Depending on the type of donut you get, it may cost a bit more, but a GREAT price point. This place really is a gem in Brooklyn.

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!!

    I can talk on and on about how much I love Mike's Donuts, but as much as their donuts are delicious…read moreI have to give flowers to the ownership. It's a New York staple, it's a landmark in Bay Ridge. The history to Mike's is rich and beautiful; family owned! One step through the door and you understand why they've stayed open for so long in the neighborhood. Their service is amazing, they make you feel at home because to Mike's this shop IS an extension of their home. The warmth is palpable. The donuts are delicious, can't go wrong with any of them. The coffee is a classic, no fuss about it.

I can't believe I've been missing out on this place for so long. From the moment you step inside, the staff makes you feel like a regular. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see you -- it's the kind of neighborhood spot you hope to find but rarely do. And the donuts? Unreal. Light, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. Every bite tastes fresh and made with care. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows in every single donut. This is hands down my new favorite spot. After a lifetime in NYC, I finally found the donut place I'll never stray from. I won't be going anywhere else.
