Expensive in a wicked sort of way, but man would it be nice to just buy all the doughnuts they have and eat them while waiting for other patrons to realize you bought ALL the donuts and are going to spend all Sunday eating them right at the counter while the hip hop blazes and nobody else can have one unless they ask super nicely, because they’re mine, I bought them all, and I’m going to eat them right here while everybody waits their turn. I’ll share to some folks who smile at babies and say “hi” to puppies, but everyone else should come back Monday and buy their own, because they’re closed Sunday while I eat all my donuts and share a few with smiling people who just want to say “hi”.

The donuts were really good but I could only try a maximum of 2 flavors with 6 donuts. I wanted to try many more flavors, but didn’t want to get a set of 12. The flavors I did try (house of cardamom and the pumpkin pie) were super tasty. I preferred the house of cardamom to the pumpkin pie though hehe. They’re a little on the sweet side so keep that in mind!

They sell freshly made doughnuts with a range of toppings. I tried a same one - cinnamon and sugar - and it’s delicious.The size is tiny, one mouthful per piece, and that’s the appeal of it. However, for the size, it’s quite pricey, probably catering for the tourists.

Fresh petite donuts with a wide array of flavors to be chosen from. Prices slightly high for the quanity and size of them but they are worth a try if you are shopping at Chelsea Market. I tried the Paris and Apple flavors. I enjoyed both of these.

Such good doughnuts six is not enough.. they are on the tiny side and have many different flavors. Just watching the process of them being made is a nice experience within itself.

Doughnuttery, hard to take pics of the donuts themselves and again, can’t post the video I took of the donuts in their machine but, SO SO SO YUMMY!! They’re tiny, hot, and the best thing to fix that sweet tooth! Being from the U.K. it takes me back to the market stalls there that we used to get fresh donuts from. I’d take these over glazed regular donuts any day. They’re fresh out the fryer and dipped/tossed in the toppings right before your eyes. You can’t go wrong with the cinnamon sugar.

[Update Review December 2019 - 4 Stars]3 years after my original experience with Doughnuttery, I found myself walking through Chelsea Market with some friends recently and decided to give them another try. Following my original review, I was extremely surprised at how condescendingly and defensively the owner wrote back to me, but understand that they take feedback extremely serious.In my original review (below) my primary gripes were challenges with delivery, size of the mini donuts, and quality of the mini donuts. As the owner insisted in their original response, they have no control over the courier (Caviar) once they hand the order off to them - fair enough, I agree. Nonetheless, delivery challenges aside, my primary issue with Doughnuttery was the donuts themselves. I felt strongly that they were laughably small, flavorless, and expensive. Im happy to report that when you order them fresh in person they actually taste much better. When theyre warm and fresh they are delightfully fluffy and sweet. My previous experience was eating them about 2 hours after they were made and bounced around by the couriers in the delivery process. However, I do still feel that the donuts are too small - even for mini donuts - and are sold at a price point thats a bit too high.All this taken into account, Ive revised my review from 2 stars to 4.[Original Review December 2016 - 2 Stars]After an initially poor experience, I decided to give Doughnuttery another chance and placed an order through Caviar. I appreciated the thorough response that I received after my first experience, and made sure I ordered further in advance this time. This time, the staff called me to say theyve received the order and would have it ready in time, and they were very pleasant over the phone. Unfortunately, I was disappointed when I actually ended up receiving the order. When other reviewers commented that these are tiny donuts, I didnt think much of it. But when I received my order I realized just how accurate that was. The donuts are REALLY SMALL - like the size of a pretzel nugget you would get at a pretzel stand. I ordered 50 of them, and they all fit in 2 boxes that are about 4 inches by 4 inches each. At about $1 a donut, thats really disappointing. When I asked my colleagues how they tasted, the response was simply meh, theyre alright... Unfortunately, this is definitely my last order. Its a mediocre product at a ridiculous price point.

Great little place to get freshly made mini doughnuts, all sorts of styles, with my favourite being the cardamom doughnut called The House of Cardamom. Located in the awesome Chelsea Market.

I may have just not tried the best flavors because the donuts didnt amaze me at all. The cardamom spice one wasnt tasty imo, and the spicy one whose exact name I forget was just ok. Im going to try different flavors next time and reevaluate.

Cute mini donuts that for me were great! However, my partner did not find them as good, and the flavors tasted somewhat similar.For me, that was fine, since I liked them all. Fun little stop in Chelsea Market after eating lunch somewhere else.

Nice little spot. Im not a huge doughnut fan but I do like these. They are unique,light, and good flavor. I tried the PB and J flavor. If Im in the area again I would make the trip again.

Review №13

Stopped by to pick up some doughnuts and the doughnuts tasted good, however the word ‘mini doughnut’ does not adequately describe the size.I would consider these ‘micro’ doughnuts. The size of the doughnut is way too small. They are basically one bite per doughnut.Aside from the small size, they tasted quite good and the staff is very friendly.

We were quite taken in by the set up of their stall in Chelsea Market. The donuts were cute and bite sized and the menu looked interesting. We bought the dozen donuts for $11 and got to choose four different flavors. I thought the donuts were delicious but really tiny. Not sure I would buy again.

Doughnuttery - sorry, holiday fail. With so many enjoying the season at Bryant Park. The 50¢ size donuts for a $1 each were tasty...but only if you wanted plain or powered. No glaze, no dipping sauces and no hot chocolate on a cold evening...tell your servers to let you know & send a delivery over from the main shop.

Ok so the ppl who work there have good customer service.... but the donuts are OVERRATED! they are mini donuts just covered in sugar that has a sophisticated name. It all tastes like sugar tho. Not worth it. Like don’t go here if you are broke .... cause you wanna spend that shmoney on something special

Review №28

Doughnuts are tasty if small. Would be 4 stars if it wasnt for the terrible customer service.I placed an order of 6 plus a sauce, with 3 flavors of sugar (all outlined specifically as being fine on the website) through their website for pickup. When I arrived they hand me two bags, each containing 3 donughts. I asked the lady who served me what happened to the third flavor, and she advised me that you only get two flavors and that I must have misread.Now, heres the issue with that - if there was an issue with the order wouldnt it make sense to advise the customer of that and let them make alterations to the order if they so choose? And why in the world does your website allow people to make orders that you will straight up refuse to fill?I ate the donughts, which were fine but of course the one flavor they didnt give me was the one I was most Interested in trying, so thanks for that. They also didnt give me the sauce that I paid for.After eating the food, I checked the website again, and of course my recollection was correct, it does specify 3 flavors.Dont gaslight your customers, and train your employees. I certainly wont be going here again.

I was excited to try these donuts out, but honestly Im not impressed. Theyre expensive for no reason. Super tiny and all you get is a bunch of sugar in your mouth. I love trying new donuts and these are just not itttt. Save your cash and your calories!

The donuts were the size of a quarter and they literally all tasted the same. I got 6 donuts (3 different flavors) and at the bottom of each unlabeled bag there was about 2 tablespoons of sugar.

Review №35

So Ive had mini donuts before and these are microscopic compared to the other bakeries! I cant believe I paid $12 for a dozen of these onion ring looking things. However they do taste lovely. Not worth it.

Review №36

I give this place three stars because it is quality product but not reliable in service. I would absolutely recommend trying their donuts. My favorite is Paris Time and Flower Power but their glazed with sprinkles and powdered donuts are pretty good too as they will melt in your mouth. Its everything you could want in a donut; crispy outside, soft inside and overall sweet with many different flavors and options to try. And during COVID-19 times, the fact that different flavors will come individually bagged, makes it even better for sharing. If you are planning to bring these donuts in for an office meeting or for a personal event, DO go to pick it up in person, so that you can ensure that your order is correct and that you have it in time for your event. DONT order last minute; leave plenty of time between when you ordered it and when you need it and you should be okay. Also, keep in mind that these are VERY SMALL. You can finish one donut with one bite. Think Entenmanns Popems small. For a group of five peckish ladies, I ordered the box of 25. Absolutely devoured within minutes. Possibly pair it with coffee/tea to leave everyone satisfied. If they dont like sweets, avoid the sugar covered donuts and opt for the glazed, powdered or plain ones. They will look more appetizing to people who dont like too many sweets over a box full of sugar covered donuts.Updated: Four stars; I tried them out again and it worked out pretty well. Everyone was happy and the order came out correct, good job guys! If that experience stays consistent, I will update to five.

Hidden small place inside the Chelsea market. The service was not very smily but Excellent donuts. Quite expensive for mini donuts, but I have to admit they were delicious. We tasted two of them, mostly classic ones and both of them were tasty, not too sugary or too spongy. The texture was great, they were hot and great

Review №53

Doughnuttery is located right inside Chelsea Market. It is a very cute set up with melt-in-your-mouth soft mini donuts. The staff was nice. It is confusing to order and there are few hand menus and you have to purchase quantities of 6, 12, 25, 50, or 100, BUT you also need to purchase at least 3 of each flavor you select so if you buy 12 donuts, you can only have 4 varieties. The Flower Power flavor was very good. The flavor level was low in the others we tried (a pumpkin something, tea buzz, and cocoa-banana..). It was hard to distinguish between them. There is some sitting space. You can get drinks here.

Review №59

Decent light and tasty donuts. Theyre quite small in size so dont be shy in getting a dozen or more. I wish theyd let you buy a sampler with one of each flavor to try, but IIRC you can only mix up to two or so different flavors for every six donuts you buy. So with a dozen you can try up to for different flavors. I went near closing time so probably not the freshest batch, but I still found them to be tasty.

Went to the Doughnuttery at the Plaza Food Hall last night. Walked 15 blocks to get there so I could pick up a few boxes for a holiday party. According to the disinterested workers the “machines were down.” At no time did they offer any further explanation and simply stated “no donuts.” They proceeded to clean the equipment. So for the last hour no attempt was made to fix anything. Customer after customer walked up to the counter and were often disregarded. Then were told “we’re closed.” What a disappointing experience!

By Far the best doughnuts you can get in NY and thats a bold statement but its true. Do yourself a favor and go check these guys out. You can order large orders for events or just to cheer up your employees or co-workers. They have so many cool flavors and they package it up nicely. I highly recommend you ask for Evan if he is at the shop..he is so friendly and easy to work with he will get your large orders taken care of

Review №66

Eh, this place was disappointing. I walk by a lot and finally went for it. I wish I had saved my money. Theyre basically mini donuts covered in granulated, flavored sugars. And the doughnuts dough is really quite mushy when warm (which kinda defeats the appeal of a fresh donut) Any who, Id recco you steer clear and go somewhere else

Review №68

Mediocre at best. Sugar flavors aren’t intense enough to distinguish one from the other. They should cook slightly less time to ensure a light consistency. Mine had a bit of crunchy to parts of the doughnut. The price point is absolutely out of alignment with the quality.

Donuts taste good for the most part, but they are TINY. Like barely even bite size. Not worth the price. And its hard to tell the different flavors apart. They all just kind of taste vaguely of sugar (which is what they are: tiny donuts covered in flavored sugar).

Dangerously delicious bite sized goodies. Its bizarrely hypnotic just to watch that small contraption by the counter making those cute little donuts. There are plenty of seasoning to choose from. I went with purple pig (maple and bacon) and Paris time (lavender). Both are fun to eat, though Im partial to Paris time (purple pig flavor strangely resembled that of a corned dog). At $1 a pop, it isnt the cheapest snack, but it sure is fun to eat!Tip: ask for those freshly made donuts. They taste far better!

Donuts had the consistency of churos and the glaze was way too sweet. Basically it was just like eating a sugar bomb! Theyre pretty pricy, 6$ for 6, especially because they are pretty small... Its less costly to buy one big donut at Dunking or another chain than to get these.The shop was nice, the donuts were cute and easy to eat on the go, and the staff was cordial.

Review №81

Nothing special about this place. They are mini-sized and can be bought in sets of 3,6, etc. The doughnut itself is pillowy and soft on the inside, but lacks any flavor. Flavor is applied as a mix of sugar and spices, the sugar (which is regular, not powdered) overpowered and masked other flavors. I would not be back.

After exploring coffee shops and bakeries in Washington, D.C. for more than a decade, I was surprised to stumble upon one I had never heard of. After grabbing breakfast here, I understand why.After waiting in line here on a Saturday, its clear its a neighborhood joint. The staff are very friendly and knew most customers by name. Its clearly loved part of Dupont Circle.However, I wasnt impressed with the food. I ordered a chocolate croissant and an iced latte. The croissant was MASSIVE, but tasted stale and not good. My iced latte was poorly made and didnt taste like quality coffee.Go for the amazing customer service, but you can find better baked goods and coffee (like at nearby ThreeFifty Bakery and Coffee Bar).

If you crave atheistic more than flavor, then this is a spot for you.The doughnuts are very light and airy, and the overall taste is very lack.
