Dough

When David and I used to live on 19th street, there weren’t too many shops and stores on the street. Now, however, there’s a SoulCycle, an international bookstore, Muji, and a Dough Doughnut Shop:

The first time I tried Dough was at Brooklyn Flea; the passion fruit with cacao nibs doughnut was sweet and tangy but a little soggy because it had been sitting around for a while. This time, however, I went straight to the source – the actual doughnut shop for their freshly made doughnuts. This location has a bakery behind the storefront and had a pretty long line the morning that I visited. Their service is still working out kinks but they had lots of fresh doughnuts so I didn’t care about waiting:

I ordered a dozen doughnuts for my coworkers – cafe au lait, glazed, hibiscus, cinnamon sugar, and Valrhona chocolate:

All of them were amazing; they’re yeasty doughnuts with different glazes and my favorite was the chocolate, but all of them were fresh and delicious. When I visited (before 9am) they were already out of their flavor of the day, the Pumpkin doughnut! My theory is that people do Soulcycle in the morning and then walk over to Dough to reward themselves. What a dangerous combo of stores! I guess they’ll keep each other in business…we are so happy Dough is finally in the city!
