    Hibiscus is my favorite despite stuffing my face with many of the other great flavors. Really can't go wrong here.

    Sinfully delicious! Plain glazed is perfection but adventure seekers can opt for creations like passion fruit or hibiscus donuts.

    Convenient that the best doughnuts in New York are now available in Flatiron. Try them all, but start with their claim-to-fame hibiscus, and passion fruit varieties.

    Possibly the best doughnuts I've had. Big, yeasty, delicious. Try the plain glazed, the chocolate caramel, or the lemon poppyseed. Hell, try them all!

    The Nutella donut is everything. Enjoy with an iced coffee and you’re good to go!

    Good variety of flavors. They’re ginormous though, so recommend splitting them or coming hungry because some can be heavy. Service is a hit or miss.

    Of this box, I enjoyed Mango Coconut the most. It was moist, buttery & tangy. Didn’t like vegan cinnamon; it was too dry

    The Dulce de Leche is absolutely amazing!! the Boston cream is a huge let down.... Don't even bother.

    The newer Manhattan location of the loved Bedstuy donut spot has more choices, likes filled donuts and donut babka.

    The lemon glaze is my favorite. The tartness of the glaze cuts across the sugar in a really wonderful way!

    Oh my gosh, I’ve had lots of doughnuts but these are much greater than I’ve expected. I liked Boston doughnut most.

    The donuts are a pretty good reason to live, if you need one. Dulce de Leche is like eating a very tasty cloud.

    Gotta try these legendary doughnuts for the texture. Dense yet light, chewy and bread-like. Flavors on point.

    Dulce de Leche is amazing. Beware of the Hibiscus, it is very sweet and sugary. Quality coffee here too.

    Slightly on the doughy side. Passion fruit is a perfectly executed blend of tart and sweet—try it!

    Yea, the doughnuts are good. I still like Doughnut Plant better, though. This place has the advantage of being more centrally located.

    Horchata doughnut best ever. You need just one as they are dense but you'll want more.
