Best Donuts in Bensonhurst
Master Critic Review
Nom Tea
7.8
A bubble-tea shop that quietly doubles as a mochi-donut stop for when you want something chewy-sweet alongside a cold drink. Treat it like a snack mission: pick one mochi donut (or a small mix), pair it with a milk tea, and you’ll get the cleanest texture and the best value read.
Must-Try Dishes:
Mochi donuts, Strawberry mochi donut, Jasmine green milk tea

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; generally manageable mid-day but can be tight evenings and weekends.
Dress code: Casual—sneakers, jeans, and everyday wear are standard.
Noise level: Low to moderate—short conversations are easy, but it’s more of a grab-and-go vibe.
Weekend wait: 5–15 minutes depending on boba rush
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—mochi donuts and most drinks are vegetarian.
Vegan options: Limited—some drinks and select donut flavors may be vegan, but availability varies by day.
Gluten-free options: No—mochi donuts are rice-based but not certified gluten-free and may include wheat or cross-contact.
Best For
Better for: Mochi donuts paired with bubble tea in one stop, especially if you want a chewy texture over classic cake donuts.
Consider Alternatives If: You’re looking for a traditional donut shop, a wide donut variety, or a place to sit and linger.
