    Chocolate Honey Doughnut
    Barney C.

    TL;DR Version: - Nostalgia served in delicious round goodness form. - Nieghborhood business, 40 years going strong - The Toasted Coconut is delicious. Long Winded Version: I grew up several blocks from the Nostrand Donut Shop and never knew it existed until this past weekend. I'm sad I've missed out on this growing up but pretty stoked there's a great, local shop to fulfil my sugar cravings. You walk into the shop and immediately get a Back to the Future, nostalgic vibe. Like a dinner in the 60s with a casual vibe. Let's cut to the chase though ... Nostrand Donut Shop are donuts done right! (free slogan pitch). The donuts I tried were fresh and delicious. The Honey Dip was light, the Toasted Coconut (my favorite) was cakey ... the Chocolate Honey ... well, I can't attest for that one because my mom wouldn't share the donut ... which I purchased for her ... because that's a thing. But yeah, this place is dope. Worth of a Homer Simpson: Mhmmmmmm ... Definitely check out this retro, goodness in the heart of Flatbush. Bring your mom ... or not. She probably won't share her donuts either.

    I grew up in this neighborhood and it brings me joy Every time I walk into the donut shop. It's not fancy, the make only the classic donuts, and a few other pastries. Even though it's a donut shop the ppl who live and work in the neighborhood goes there for the breakfast and the options are many, pancakes, waffles, eggs however you want them, bacon (different types), hot sandwiches, cold sandwiches, salad and soup. The decor reminds and seating reminds you of once of those diners you see in the movies from the early 50's, high top seating around the counter and the server goes from person to person to get their order. The fact that they know my name and order is a bonus.

    The new owner is horrible, I really enjoyed coming here when it looked so nostalgic. Reminded me of my grandparents time. And the old workers were so kind and pleasant. So I was in shocked to see that they were owned by totally different people one day. But I gave them a chance. Every time I order the same exact thing and every time they charge me something different. I even sat in there one time. But today he was in a mood, I've never seen him before. She brought my coffee and then my food. She is giving me the receipt as she is changing the prices. Writing over the original price on the menu. Coffee for $3.75, I have 2 different menus that say something totally different. So I'm asking her this coffee is $3.75 since when. And he immediately comes up and snatches the coffee and says you don't have to take it idc. I say I come in here all the time he tells me I'm just asking her a question. Again he yells idc you can get out. I don't care, don't buy it don't buy it. I was so confused at that service. So I leave the food and of course the coffee. I will never again give them my business. And I don't feel bad because I can see in another review he was nasty to them as well. Don't get into customer service business if you don't want to deal with the public. Especially in this neighborhood. It's sad to see the only diner here run away their customers.

    super yummy donut. only $2. not too many donuts to choose from but they are clearly made fresh daily

    Cheese omelette French fries

    Besides a plain bagel or occasionally bacon egg cheese, I'm very pro make it yourself save money you have eggs/ bacon at home. To me breakfast is usually not a time consuming thing and it's quite simple to make some scrambled eggs or an omelette. So on a early morning getting off of work I had a craving for breakfast but not just regular bacon egg cheese from the corner store but more like diner style breakfast. If your from Flatbush you know there really isn't any diners besides the Arch or Floridian or Daisys etc and all are on the other sides of town and dinettes are even more few and far between so the location is perfect for me. Inside looks exactly how it probably looked 40 years ago so I knew my food was gonna be tasty. Wheat toast cheese omelette and fries and I tore that up in about 5 minutes. So happy to find a good breakfast spot close to me.

    Some of the donuts

    I'd been wanting to try this place for a few years as I love donuts and this is the only donut shop in the neighborhood. I finally made it and my immediate thought was it looked almost immediately like the inside of Peter Pan donuts in Greenpoint. It definitely is an old school donut shop and has a very authentic feel. The people working are nice and they had some unique flavors like toasted coconut and chocolate and honey. These are the two I tried and both were Cakey type donuts that were flavorful and not dry! The only real downside was that it was cash only so you had to go to an atm next door or I actually walked across the street to Walgreens to get cash back. The price is super cheap, I got two donuts and a bottle of water for $3.50. To me, it was as good as Peter Pan and had the same vibe but without all the attention that Peter Pan donuts get.

    Blueberry muffin and a large coffee.
    Risa S.

    This is my go to stop for coffee before I head to work when I'm in the area. The other day, I decided to grab a muffin as well. I know what you're thinking...why not a donut?! Or a breakfast sandwich?! I know I know. But I'm a muffin person and had to check theirs out! Not sure if the muffin themselves are fresh as the donuts though. Was it the best muffin? No. But it wasn't bad. It's a soft muffin- kind of like the hostess mini muffin texture (not the kind that has crispy baked edges). Not a freshly baked type. I got the blueberry and it had sufficient amount of blueberry in it but weren't the big blueberry chunks. Still ate the whole thing but I would most likely try their donuts and/or breakfast sandwiches next time! Coffee is just simple cup of Joe. Nothing fancy. But make sure to tell them you don't want any cream or sugar! I told them black coffee once, only to drink it at work and it had cream AND sugar in it :( Service is friendly! The very first time I went was the worst (super unfriendly) but since then I've had pleasant visits :) Place always has people either grabbing something to go or eating in. So you know there's foot traffic and it's a staple for the people who live or work around the area. I'll still be stopping by for coffee. I'll also grab other food at different visits too!

    I was ordering with The guy at the front. He told me to hurry up because he had other people to attend to, he patiently waited for the other people to order and he never took my order. I was waiting for about 10 minutes. Never again.

    C + D

    My boyfriend C and I decided to visit and taste four different Brooklyn Donut shops in one day without going into a sugar coma. This was our first stop. Before we got there we decided to rate our experience on several criteria: 1) Presentation (everyday or chic?); 2) Cost-Value (is the price equivalent to the experience/taste); 3) Donut type (cake: moist or no? yeast: doughy or gummy?); 4) Dunkability--can it survive C's test of dunking into whatever hot drink he had? 5) would it become our new favorite place? We liked Nostrand Donut shop. It had an everyday type feel like a place you just go to have a donut and chill for a minute without worrying about anything. We picked up a Toasted Coconut and a Chocolate Glaze. The toasted coconut was cake and not too dry and very tasty. It passed the dunkability test. The chocolate glaze donut was a little dry but we forgave them; we were starting our adventure late. Overall, it got a great review and we liked its charm, but sadly would not be our new favorite donut place. I would definitely visit again.

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.

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...
