My favorite donut shop in the city! Classic no frills donuts. They don't need gimmicks because they're always fresh and delicious. Still has a charming mom and pop feel despite the location.

The Donut Pub, an unassuming, old-school little shop just off the 14th Street F stop, makes killer jelly doughnuts, covered in thick powder or sugar and filled with an assortment of jams. Read more

The marble cruller was so rich and moist, my favourite hands down. The Boston and vanilla creme were great too, albeit too overwhelmingly cream-filled for my taste.

The Maple bacon croissant donut is to die for! The French Curler is amazing and even their plain donut holes are beyond delicious. They have a pretty great brewed hot coffee as well.
Lenny GalloNovember 6, 2017
These are some exceptional donuts. I have to say the maple bacon was my favorite. FYI: the donuts are heavier than they look.

Tasting Table's Top Donuts: "Jelly Doughnut" The Platonic ideal of jelly doughnuts, with jam in every bite and an even dusting of powdered sugar. Junkies, rejoice: The Pub is open 24-7.

Best Donuts in NYC: Try the honey dipped glazed donut and the red velvet, both absolutely amazing! Read more

Yummy! Soft! Melts in your mouth and NO greasy after taste! Finally a good donut place in Nyc took me a year but I finally found one!

Love this place, but I wish they'd just decide if they're going to be #cashonly. They'll have a sign up saying their machine isn't working, but if you insist they'll swipe the card & it will work

Cronuts of all ways, shapes, and sizes. Salted caramel chocolate was amazing, and a hot chocolate on the side really sealed the "treat yoself" vibe
Loni FrenchMay 6, 2019
Plain cronuts or honey dip (glazed) are perfect without all the toppings. Moderation is key! 🍩

If you’re looking for a Valrhona triple-chocolate doughnut or exotic ingredients like matcha, you won’t find them here. What you'll find is the epitome of a glazed doughnut (they call it a Honey Dip). Read more

Best old school donut in Manhattan, maybe the city. Forget about Dunkin, these guys are the real deal. Still, not the best Apple Fritter.
Lori LuoSeptember 4, 2014
This 24/7 spot offers an endless number of donuts and baked goods, all served in a diner-like ambiance. You can't go wrong here.

Everything is good at this place. Love every single donut I ever had here and the "croissant donut" is pretty damn good.
John AAugust 8, 2015
Wow! Excellent donuts, lighter, fluffier and less sweet than Dunkin. Lots of great flavors.. Recommend the vanilla creme.

I always receive great service when I come to The Donut Pub. Very good coffee, and, of course, great donuts!!
drew tarvinJuly 12, 2015
Mostly traditional donuts but done well. Can't go wrong with the Boston Creme.
MashkaMarch 24, 2014
Their munchkins are really fun! Ends up they're all different on the inside. Some have chocolate filling, some Boston cream.. Liked them more than the doughnuts.

Awesomely good donuts and coffee. Probably the best donuts in NYC. I’m not exaggerating. #kinofcoffeenyc #sankofatafari

Open 24 hours, bakes a huge variety of donuts all onsite, and right next to the 1/2/3 station. This is a staple late night snack for me.
Jason CullerJanuary 14, 2013
Any of the straight up old-fashioned will satisfy. Also go for the crullers when they're around. As with any doughnut shop... the earlier, the fresher, the better.

Had a cool mom and pop vibe to it. The donuts and coffee here was great. So much better than its fast food counterparts.
Alex EngelAugust 25, 2014
Great doughnuts. Chocolate glazed and honey glaze are done well here. Grab a couple to refill on that long walk.

Best Doughnut Holes: Try yeast and cake in cinnamon-sugar, blueberry, plain, and (especially) red velvet cake. No more returning to red velvet cupcakes after this. Read more

The red velvet donut was delicious! And the staff is super accommodating and friendly.
Janelle GreeneMarch 22, 2017
God does exist. Buried within the cinnamon roll, apple fritter or the vanilla kreme. You legit can't go wrong here.

Forget Milton, a fresh apple crumb cruller is paradise found! Also recommend the Boston creme and some hot tea or coffee to go with it!
Kimmie OhhNovember 24, 2019
Best thing about this place is it’s open 24/7 !

Simple, delicious & cheap. Go for the chocolate coconut, cinnamon roll or glazed cruller.

The doughnut holes here put Dunkin's munchkins to shame. We love the red velvet the most!

GREAT service. They know the regulars by name. Feel free to ask for a donut recommendation. They'll steer you in a good direction.

The Honey Glazed are the city's best, hands down. Might as well take a seat, grab a coffee and take it all in - what's the rush?
Tiffany LangstonAugust 21, 2014
Fantastic selection and the price can't be beat. 3 huge donuts for a little over $4
Kimmie OhhNovember 24, 2019
