The Donut Plant - NYC

On my travels there is on rare occasion that I will say..."when I come back to this city again, I'm definitely coming back here." I found such a place in NY. The Donut Plant.

I first heard of this place when I saw it on Food Network and the Bobby Flay "Throw-down" show. They are famous for these exotic flavors (tres leches, gingerbread, cranberry) but they make them naturally with high quality ingredients, with no trans fats, etc. etc.


I'm more of a traditionalist. I got the chocolate and the "vanilla bean" glazed. OMG. The best donuts I've ever had in my life. I went to this place twice. These were the freshest and the flavors were so pronounced and the best part? No greasy after taste like the ones you get here in Memphis--not sure if our donut shops use a cheap oil or just never change it--this place had no oil taste whatsoever. It's been so long since I had a "no oily taste" donut, I didn't know what to do with myself. Address: 379 Grand. Closest subway: Delancey Essex. Can't wait to visit them again and take a batch home next time I have a two-year-old that will go crazy with delight.

Valhrona Chocolate Donut. Sigh.
