Last weekend, I paid a visit to Doughnut Plant's newest shop next to the historic Hotel Chelsea. It's larger and more cutesy than their original location on the Lower East Side and the wait time was cut in half. Waiting in line for food is something that I usually resent, but trust me, it's worth it for these.
The Doughnut Plant uses natural ingredients and rotates their menu on a daily basis. Their most famous, and in most people's opinion, most delicious doughnut is the tres leches. It's rich, gooey perfection. Unfortunately, they were out, so we opted for a cream cheese frosting-filled carrot cake (one of my personal favorites), pistachio, and a creme brulee doughnut complete with burnt sugar crust and vanilla custard-filled center. This is the stuff that dreams are made of, sugary, glazed dreams.
i've never been a doughnut person, but this place sounds like it would quickly change my mind!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! A pistachio doughnut sounds right up my alley!
ReplyDeletei've never been a doughnut person either, but i think that's because i've never had a fresh one (yeah, i'm looking at you, dunkin doughnuts).
ReplyDeletei think i saw this place on the travel channel a few months back and have wanted to go since. thanks for reminding me!
This place looks so cool! I love really good doughnuts!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are some amazing sounding doughnuts! We only have the standard ones up here.... I definitely have to try this next time we're in new york!

Doughnut Plant is one of my absolute favorite places to go in NYC. My favorite? The Tres Leches Doughnut. SO good...
ReplyDeleteOh do I have a weakeness for DONUTS! I was thinking on the train this morning how I am craving a Boston Creme but I must try this place - thanks for the tip.

Is Doughnut Plant the place that also makes the square doughnuts? It is definitely on my to-visit place whenever I make it to New York! All of the flavours you got sound a-ma-zing.
ReplyDeletei have yet to go. we have family coming to visit us this weekend so it may be the perfect excuse. thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteMarisa,
ReplyDeleteYes! They have the square ones. You'll have to come for a visit!
You had me at doughnut plant. Seriously, I want a doughnut now so bad...and a 'creme brulee doughnut'! This is utter genius.
ReplyDeleteYuuummmmyyyy! I love doughnuts like whoa. I'd love to visit this place!

ReplyDeleteYummy! Your post has made me hungry! Carla
ReplyDeleteFresh doughnuts are the best. You can't compare them to the ones that have been sitting on some grocery store shelf.
ReplyDeleteit looks like pure magic.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun adventure!
ReplyDeleteOooh those doughnuts, the paper bags and the place look so cool. Would love to try one!
ReplyDeleteThe natural ingredients would definitely make me feel better for consuming a dozen on my own :) Yum!
ReplyDeleteI ate my yearly allowance of donuts last week and vowed not to eat them again for a while. I would make an exception if I stopped here.
ReplyDeletethis looks like a chunk of pure heaven! yum!!!
ReplyDeletei always say if i was just gonna let myself go and get huge, it would be on doughnuts!! I LOVE them and avoid them like the plague because it's not time to just let myself go...maybe when I'm 95!
ReplyDelete(ps: found you thru pickles on pizza)

I read a review about the NYC doughnut plant in an airplane mag on my way to Asia last summer. The I spotted it in Seoul while shopping! I stopped immediately, and it was definitely the stuff that dreams are made of. And i don't even really like doughnuts!!
