Doughnut Plant Opens Brooklyn Outpost

Early yesterday morning Doughnut Plant opened its first Brooklyn outpost, right in time for the holidays! There were already guests waiting at the door before the shop’s bright and early opening at 6:30AM. This outpost will be offering all the signature Doughnut Plant flavor of doghnuts, such as peanut butter and jelly and tres leches, as well as some seasonal flavors. The holiday doughnuts include marzipan-glazed yeast doughnuts in the shape of stars, gingerbread and panettone cake doughnuts.

Doughnut Plant serves coffee from Toby’s Estate, Intelligentsia and is also currently serving from City of Saints, a guest roaster. There is a considerable amount of seating available at this Brooklyn location which is larger in size to the Lower East Side location and more comparable to the Chelsea outpost. Mark Israel, the owner, has decorated the shop with a lining of doughnut-shaped terra cotta tiles that were made by his father.
