Notable Picks
8.5
A 24/7 East Village anchor with a classic New York donut counter vibe and a huge, always-rotating case. The strength here is reliable execution across styles—yeast, cake, filled, crullers, and croissant-donuts—backed by very high review volume that signals consistency at scale. It’s the dependable stop for a late-night sugar fix or an early coffee-and-donut run near Astor Place.
Must-Try Dishes:
French Cruller, Cannoli Croissant Donut, Maple Bacon Croissant Donut
What makes it special: Massive variety served nonstop in a true 24-hour donut counter.
8.1
A Union Square bakery that treats Italian bomboloni like the main event—pillowy, neatly fried, and generously filled. The menu leans modern-Italian with playful flavors, making it more of a specialty donut destination than a classic shop. Great for a daytime stroll stop when you want something richer and more crafted than a standard glaze.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pistachio & Orange Blossom Bombolone, Chocolate Cream Bombolone, Seasonal Fruit Bombolone
What makes it special: Italian-style bomboloni with elevated, rotating fillings.
