Doughnut Plant
4.5$$· ModerateIconic New York bakery crafting inventive artisanal yeast and cake doughnuts
Doughnut Plant is a legendary New York City institution renowned for inventing original flavor combinations and signature square jelly-filled doughnuts. Operating across multiple NYC locations including its flagship Lower East Side shop, the bakery produces fresh handcrafted yeast, cake, and sourdough pastries using high-quality ingredients. Visitors can pair favorite treats like Crème Brûlée, Tres Leches, and Brooklyn Blackout with fresh coffee.
Expert notes
- They handcraft three types of doughnuts daily: yeast, cake, and filled. Yeast doughnuts are light, airy, fluffy yeast-raised doughnuts, with a slight chew. Cake doughnuts are leavened with baking powder and have a texture somewhere near the intersection of a classic birthday cake and a buttery pound cake. The filled doughnuts are loaded with house-made jams, creams, and custards. The doughnuts are hand-made fresh daily with no preservatives, so we recommend eating them on the day of purchase. They also offer customizable letter doughnuts, Ripples, and mini cake doughnuts. Wild Blueberry, Creme Brulee, Tres Leches, Carrot Cake are must-try doughnuts.
