    Window of deliciousness
    Chrissy F.

    This is the best donut place ever and I tried dough and bear. But I don't even like doughnuts so to say best is crazy. All the flavors are delicious. The workers are so kind my favorite is Jessica. It's the coolest doughnut place in the city. Gives nostalgia in ever best way possible!

    French Cruller
    Chris A.

    This one is a little bit more modern than the other one that's pretty close by. There's plenty of counter space and the inside is very clean. You could never go wrong with a French Cruller from the Donut Pub - airy, fresh and filling. The employees in this particular location are so friendly and greet you with a smile.

    Blueberry Cake Donut
    Brandon Y.

    I've walked by here enough to finally come in and try one of their donuts and I got the Blueberry cake donut to munch on because it's one of my favorite flavors. I often go out of my way to head to Peter Pan over in Williamsburg when I can, but it's still tedious to get there so I don't go as often as I would like. In terms of this place's take on it though, it's good! It's super soft and almost melt in your mouth and the inside almost reminds me of a blueberry muffin a bit (in a good way). It has its own uniqueness and charm to it, so I definitely wouldn't be opposed to coming in again and trying their other offerings.

    chai spice croissant donut
    Laura H.

    The most disapointingly sweet, doughy, oily, uncrispy, flavorless, and expensive cronut I've ever had. There was no chai flavor except in the excruciatingly sweet dollop of cream and the entire donut was pervaded not with the taste of yeast, but pure flour soaked in oil. Cute place to take pictures though.

    There's something about old-school NYC spots that just feels comforting, and The Donut Pub absolutely has that energy. It has that classic retro diner vibe with the marble counter seating, bright neon signs, and a nonstop flow of people coming in for coffee and donuts. I stopped in for the tres leches donut and it was honestly delicious. Moist, rich, sweet without being overwhelming, and packed with that creamy tres leches flavor all the way through. The texture was soft and fresh, which made it feel more indulgent than your average donut shop treat. Service was quick and efficient, even with how busy the place stays. It's one of those spots where you grab your order, find a stool if you can, or just grab and go, and just enjoy the classic New York atmosphere. You can tell why this place has lasted so long. It balances nostalgia with creative flavors really well, and the tres leches donut alone is worth the stop.

    Wall of deliciousness
    Jessica P.

    Delicious vegan donut. Visually, the wall of donuts is overwhelming in a really great way. Service was good and recommendations were tasty.

    I was first introduced to Donut Pub when they only had the one location at 14th street. This is my first time at this location, and the service was very friendly. The place is clean, bright, and there is a great assortment of donuts. I tried The St. Joseph donut, which is a French cruller with cannoli cream, powdered sugar, and a maraschino cherry on top. I'm not digging the French cruller. I think of it as the angel food cake of cakes - it's light, airy, tastes nice - but lacks oomph for me. I also wish there was more cannoli cream inside the cruller. I'm gonna stick to their cake and croissant donuts!

    Cronut
    Yarn Y.

    We decided to try their version of a cronut- the combination be a doughnut and a croissant . We took the sugar coated one - I didn't think it was great (missing the filling you get in the Dominique Ansel cronut ). My wife did enjoy it though . So this is a 3.5 star review really

    Black and white cookies
    Elaine C.

    Review for black and white cookies: they have a donut-esque flair (are the cookies fried? It tastes like they could be) and are nice and soft. The frosting is not the hard fondant of some others but frosting more like that of a donut. This is currently my favorite black and white I can get in the city (my favorite, glaser's closed down a while ago).

    The Donut Pub in Astor Place is an enormous donut emporium one could spend weeks eating their way through. I was intimidated by the expansive array of flavors but eventually settled on the blueberry cake and maple croissant donuts. The blueberry cake was moist, dense and perfectly glazed for sweetness that complemented the healthy dose blueberries dotted throughout. In contrast, the maple croissant was flaky and light despite its girthy appearance. I would happily come back either morning or night to enjoy a little sweet treat here

    Donut joy
    Andrew C.

    Wow. We stopped in for donuts. Our only regret is that we didn't have enough room in our bellies to try them all. We had the creme brule, maple bacon, and Capuchino croissant. Instead of just being big lumps of fried dough, these were all very light and layered like a croissant. Absolutely love this place. Don't miss it!

    Melissa C.

    You can't go wrong with a good gourmet donut! There are so many options here that it's overwhelming and almost impossible to choose. I ended up getting the s'mores and the pumpkin spice, which were both great options. They're super filling, so one to enjoy now and one for later! Their donuts are croissant donuts, so they're a bit different but so good. They're light, soft, fluffy, and filling. Don't miss the cute donut wall!

    Do they have egg free, gluten free donuts?

    We have an allergy to nuts. Are nuts served on any of the donuts?

    Best to speak to The Donut Pub managers directly since you are talking about a nut allergy. Play it safe, and go directly to the source. :). I carry an Epi Pen. We don't know what causes my allergic reaction, but we know things I'm not allergic… 

    Is there a recommended window to have the most options to choose from? I know the doughnut plant tends to close once they run out of donuts.

    Every time I've gone, they have been fully stocked. I've gone at after 12 pm mostly.

The space is cozy with some seating, and apparently they have award-winning cookies... which I unfortunately cannot personally confirm because I had already eaten enough breakfast to feed a small village. I stuck with a vanilla latte. The coffee was good, the service was nice, and the space was welcoming. But the CHANDeliers?! Absolutely gorgeous and definitely one of the first things I noticed. I'd love to come back when I'm actually hungry enough to investigate these allegedly award-winning cookies because clearly I have unfinished business here. Cute spot, good coffee, gorgeous chandeliers--and apparently cookies that have trophies. I need answers.
