Dough probably serves some of the best doughnuts I've ever had because they not overly sweet (okay it is sweet but it's a doughnut, what do you expect?!?) and are high quality. Most doughnuts I've had tend to be on the sweeter end of the spectrum. The emphasis of these doughnuts is not on the sweetness but on the different flavours of natural ingredients used such as hibiscus or lemon poppy seed. They actually taste like the flavours claimed because.....they use the ACTUAL real ingredients (I think). Who knew. They also claim to use organic ingredients. That is not to say these doughnuts are healthy but probably the better alternative in the world of doughnuts.
They have two locations, one in Flatiron and the original location in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. The original location is much smaller and calmer—also slighlty cheaper. The Manhattan location is a lot brighter—has a large seating space but is a lot more crowded. There is always a line!
You can't go wrong with any of the doughnuts really. My personal favourites are the grapefruit (seasonal), apple jam (seasonal), passion fruit, lemon poppy seed, toasted coconut, Nutella and hibiscus. The salted chocolate is also delicious. Honestly, they are all pretty good it just depends on your mood. My advice is to go with your initial instinctive choice. If you are in the mood for something fruity go with fruity, don't be tempted by the chocolate options. The other day I was determined to either get the grapefruit or passion fruit, but got distracted and got the dulce de leche. It was good don't get me wrong, but I wasn't fully satisfied. Something was missing. So trust your gut and don't get distracted. An alternative would be to get two or three flavors, that way you can satisfy your true craving while satisfying your faux craving. However, this may not be the most bikini body-friendly choice.
