Where’s the best place to get doughnuts in NYC? In honor of National Doughnut Day on June 3rd, I searched uptown, downtown, even into other boroughs to bring you the best of the best, from vegan to itialian to inside a carwash. You’re welcome. (Best Ice Cream Places HERE)

1. Dough
There’s a reason this has been voted the best shop in the country by Foursquare, The Village Voice and more. Try the unique and flavorful Hibiscus and Passion Fruit sprinkled with cocoa nibs.
2. Doughnut Plant
Try their seasonal specials for flavors that are totally wacky but totally work. Anything square and filled with Jelly is always a good idea. And did I mention the wall of cute doughnut pillows and doughnut tiles? #AskingToBeInstagramed
3. Orwasher’s
Best jelly doughnuts in the city! No mushy doughnuts here, they hand fill the jelly doughnuts in front of you with a syringe of jelly. I recommend the black raspberry!
4. Moe’s
Greenpoint, Brooklyn is known for Peter Pan Donuts but the lesser known and less crowded spot is Moe’s with flavors like salted caramel and red velvet!
5. Peter Pan
But Peter Pan Donuts and Pastry Shop is a classic with mint green walls, started in the 50s! Try the classic glazed.
6. Sullivan Street Bakery
This little bakery is heavenly with the best Italian doughnuts: the bomboloni. They are fluffy, airy, sweet jelly filled blockbusters.
7. The Doughnut Pub
Order the cronut, thank me later. The neon sign and 24-7 hours make this feel like an old-school doughnut dive that’s one of the most affordable in town.
8. Underwest Donuts
This tiny hole in the wall is located in a carwash. Order the “carwash” donut.
9. Doughnuttery
Doughnuttery serves fun poppable mini doughnuts in a brown paper bag, in Chelsea Market. They float along in oil in front of you before being tossed by a machine into their bin, where they are topped with sprinkles or flavorings.
10. Dun-Well
This all-vegan donut shop rotates 200 types of donuts in a fun and quirky shop in Brooklyn.
