Doughnut Plant is an iconic New York bakery famous for pioneering unique creations like square jelly doughnuts and mini crème brûlée options. Handcrafted using fresh natural ingredients, their daily menu ranges from light yeast and cake doughnuts to sourdough and vegan varieties. The flagship Lower East Side location pairs these sweet treats with cold brew and specialty espresso drinks.

Quick tip: Visit earlier in the day for the best selection, as popular seasonal and signature flavors often sell out by the afternoon.

Expert notes

  • They handcraft three types of doughnuts daily: yeast, cake, and filled. Yeast doughnuts are light, airy, fluffy yeast-raised doughnuts, with a slight chew. Cake doughnuts are leavened with baking powder and have a texture somewhere near the intersection of a classic birthday cake and a buttery pound cake. The filled doughnuts are loaded with house-made jams, creams, and custards. The doughnuts are hand-made fresh daily with no preservatives, so we recommend eating them on the day of purchase. They also offer customizable letter doughnuts, Ripples, and mini cake doughnuts. Wild Blueberry, Creme Brulee, Tres Leches, Carrot Cake are must-try doughnuts.
