Holy sugar bomb Batman! Doughnuts! What more can I say that has not been said about Doughnut Plant? They make ridiculously delicious donuts. I was at this newer location located at the Hotel Chelsea in NYC not too long ago. Pretty much right after my serious Summer training and eating light ended, so yeah, I splurged in a big way with no guilt!
This one is definitely set up more like a cafe over their other location on the Lower East Side. Much more space with tables and chairs. Some artwork on the walls with lots of color and giant doughnut pillows adorning them. More of a trendy looking spot as I guess they are catering to the Chelsea Hotel clientele a bit. Must have been working as it was pretty crowded when I was there. Why not? It’s doughnuts! Sweet sugar bombs of perfection!
Looking over the selection of doughnuts labeled in the shelving unit by the front counter I was tempted to get one of each, as my pigtacular side wanted to feast, but my more coherent reasonable side convinced me to just purchase a few to bring home. In my bag went a Peanut Butter and Blackberry Jam, Valrohna Chocolate, and a Pineapple Yeast. Let me tell you that after eating well for three months or so all the doughnuts tasted delectable, yet each were quite different, and drool worthy. I am a peanut whore, so of course that one was my favorite, and I would like to know how they inject the filling into a square doughnut. It’s magical! Each one cost in the $3 range, so they are not cheap, but are a decent sized pastry to get your sugar rocks off on.
They also serve coffee, tea, and cold drinks here. Nothing is more traditional than getting a hot cup of joe to enjoy with your doughnut. Or do what I did and grab a bag of doughnuts to go, and pig out in the privacy of your own home in extreme guilt. Don’t judge me!

Gotta admit, I’m a doughnut fan, but the one with bumps all over it doesn’t look very appetizing to me. I’m actually pretty happy with this mom and pops fresh baked doughnut shop a few miles down from my house. They make awesome doughnuts…and their apple fritters are famous.
Hey Kitt!
Don’t judge a book by it’s lumps. Deez donuts are da bomb!
Ship me some apple fritters!
Well, see now normally I’d be all about the jealousy at reading this post because donuts… well, donuts aren’t so much of a thing here in Scotland. Except…Woohoo! Krispy Kreme is coming to save the day. For all our carb-loading needs, they showed up first at the rest stops along the motorway, and then slid into malls—Newcastle, Durham, Edinburgh—approaching ever-closer. And now I hear that we’re getting one here in Glasgow. So yeah, maybe it’s no Donut Plant. But in a land of donut blindness, Krispy Kreme is the one-eyed (American) hero. Can’t wait!
Hey Barb!
HA! We have Krispy Kreme here too, but most have closed and only can now be found in the southern states. I do love those sugar bombs! The original glazed can still find it’s way into my my belly!
Oh my, I’m drooling… I love a good doughnut!
Hey Emily!
How can anyone hate a good donut? Drool!
Oh my goodness. You’re killing me here! I need one of those doughnuts. I may have to take a trip to NYC just to check that place out.
Hey Cassandra!
We all need these donuts. Morning, noon, and night!
I’m actually not a huge donut fan, but I have to say, the glazed balls….yummmm…could eat them all day. (not an analogy! I actually mean donuts!)
Hey Beth!
You, me, and my glazed balls in your mouth. Mmmm……
Donuts! I mean donuts! Mind out of the gutter!
Phil,
Now,
this is my kind of HEAVEN, babe.
YESSSS. Yes. Yessssssss.
Hey Kim!
Sounds like a sugargasm over there! Take a cold shower!
Even just the photo of those donuts makes me feel sleepy and happy–the same way i feel when I eat donuts. For me they are kinda like tasty Ambien. 🙂
Hey Coleen!
Nothing like drifting off into a sugar coma with the crumbs of donuts drooling down your chin!
I love the square doughnut….that is clever. Although I think I just gained weight looking at them over…and over.
Hey Lisa!
I keep eating like this and my body shape will resemble that donut!
OMG dude, I’m dying over here as I look at your pics. And I was just down the street from Hotel Chelsea last week, I wish I had known about this hidden gem inside of there, I would have totally treated myself to one (or two) doughnuts. 🙂
Hey CJ!
Can’t believe you missed all that wonderful sugar porn! Worth a try next time.
OMG. I just died and went to heaven. Give me the damn doughnuts! Diet be damned, I want some of that sugary goodness.
Hey Kim!
Just eat a dozen and put off the diet until tomorrow. Rinse and repeat. Every day.
For me, the Doughnut Plant is on the top of the “doughnutteries”! Their tres leches is to die for!
Hey Just Eat!
Thanks for dropping by and commenting! Yes, that tres leches is delish! All their donuts are ridiculous!
Wow, those look spectacular! I got a sugar rush from just looking at them.
Hey Stacey!
Pure sugar rush! They have so many varieties and monthly special donuts. I need an insulin shot!
Ugh those look ridiculously good. Too good, they should be outlawed! Great blog btw!
