Dough Doughnuts NYC
I had the pleasure of having the best doughnuts I’ve ever tasted during my last trip to NYC. It was on my last day in New York. I woke up late and decided I wanted a late breakfast; something sweet. I found out about Dough from one of my favorite New York instagram-mers, @eggcanvas. Dough is located on an unassuming block right next to a Muji store. I had visited Eggcanvas’ Instagram and saw an enticing photo of doughnuts from Dough.

Dough is a little shop that sells “artisanal doughnuts”, coffee and other sweet treats. As soon as I walked in, I was overcome with food excitement. The doughnuts behind the glass looked amazing. There were so many appealing flavors: Dulce de Leche, Cinnamon Sugar, Cafe au Lait, Glazed.. I indulged in the latter two. First, I had the glazed. That glazed doughnut had to be the best I’ve ever had. I know what you’re thinking, What could make this glazed doughnut more special than any other? Well, the glaze wasn’t the typical clear, sticky/flaky kind. It was a white icing that covered the entire doughnut. As for the doughnut itself, it wasn’t dry, which is a problem I experience at most doughnut shops. It wasn’t tough to chew like a lot of doughnuts. It didn’t just taste like I as eating bread. It was kind of magical.
I immediately plugged the address in Citymapper (an app that gives directions based on several modes of transportation) and hopped on the subway towards the Flatiron District.
I’ve had the “gourmet” style doughnut before but the only thing that was gourmet were the toppings. I went to Dough expecting pretty doughnuts and nothing else. What I got was the best looking and tasting doughnuts I had ever tasted. Other specialty doughnut shops failed to nail the doughnut itself before topping them with fanciful ingredients.
I cannot rave about these doughnuts enough. If you’re in New York, please do yourself a favor and try them for yourself. You’re welcome.
