About
Walking into Doughnut Plant, you'll spot colorful doughnut tiles made by the founder's potter father and a mirrored bathroom with a Studio 54-inspired disco ball. This Lower East Side bakery pioneered the artisanal doughnut movement in NYC, starting from Mark Isreal's apartment in 1994 using his grandmother's recipe. Everything is handmade daily: dough rolled and cut by hand, all jams, fillings, and glazes made in house. They use no eggs, preservatives, or artificial ingredients, and doughnuts contain no trans fat.
It's a casual spot with free wifi, open 7am to 9pm daily. Regulars know to try new flavors that rotate alongside classics. If you're exploring the LES, grab a doughnut before a pastrami sandwich at Katz's Delicatessen just a few blocks away.
