The Donut Cart operates inside the Studio Museum in Harlem at 144 West 125th Street, offering grab-and-go donuts and coffee steps from the main galleries. It functions more like a museum-adjacent snack stop than a full café, but it’s one of the few places in the immediate area focused on fresh, portable donuts.
Must-Try Dishes: Assorted glazed donuts, Chocolate-iced ring donuts, Coffee and donut combo
