Holey Cream Upper East Side 8.2
Upper East Side-Yorkville
Vibes: Quick Bites Champions Sweet Treats Escapes Instagram Worthy Wonders Late Night Legends
The Lexington Avenue Holey Cream spins hot, hand-dipped donuts into over-the-top ice cream sandwiches, plus sundaes and frozen yogurt, running late into the evening. It’s less about delicate baking and more about maximalist, candy-loaded creations built on made-to-order donuts.
Must-Try Dishes: Famous Original Donut Ice Cream Sandwich, Nutella Donut, Cookies and Cream Donut

What makes it special: Build-your-own donut ice cream sandwiches with a huge toppings roster.
Who should go: Sweet-toothed night owls and families after casual dessert.
When to visit: Evenings after dinner when you want a walkable dessert stop.
What to order: Original Donut Ice Cream Sandwich, Nutella Donut, a sampler of topped donuts.
Insider tip: Keep toppings focused—two or three max—so the donut and ice cream don’t get buried in candy.
