Notable Picks
8.4
Since 2004, Almondine has anchored DUMBO with French pastries where flaky, sugar-dusted rings and filled treats scratch the same itch as classic donuts. Regulars stop here for croissants and coffee before walking the waterfront, treating the shop as a morning ritual rather than a quick grab-and-go.
Must-Try Dishes:
Almond croissant, Chocolate almond croissant, Mille-feuille
What makes it special: Long-running French bakery where pastry counter picks double as elevated donut alternatives.
Worthy Picks
Inside Time Out Market New York, Doughnuttery turns out bite-sized doughnuts tossed in proprietary sugar blends ranging from Paris Time to Purple Pig. It’s more of a snack stop than a sit-down dessert, but watching the minis fry and tumble through flavored sugars adds a little theater to a DUMBO food-hall lap.
Must-Try Dishes:
Paris Time mini doughnuts, Purple Pig mini doughnuts, Chai Me To The Moon mini doughnuts
What makes it special: Mini doughnuts fried to order then rolled in inventive sugar blends.
