This shop is iconic to Greenpoint. Honey glazed = all-time fave. Simple; out of this world! can't go wrong w/ any creme filled (especially coconut ). Wish donuts came out early in the morning though!

Jason Schaffer

You cannot get better donuts ANYWHERE. Peter Pan has the best donuts I have ever had. Their specialty are old school style, deep fried, glazed cake donuts .

JenKudu

Sometimes the donuts aren't ready until 10am.... 50 min later everything was set right in the world when I ate the honey donut . Also anything cream filled is A+. Also the BEST linzer cookie in NYC.

Paige C

Wow! The donuts here ???? I felt like I stepped into the 1950’s in this bakery , in a good way. Must come back to try more.

Fabian Martin

The classic sugar donut might be the best donut you’ll have in your life. Extremely soft and delicious

Kristine Michelle

there are many for all kinds of doughnuts for all eaters (glazed, cream filled, jam filled, cake and yeast doughnuts ). i love the classic glazed and their crullers ! also, remember to bring cash!

Staff Picks

Want a variety of donuts ? Check out the Peter Pan Donuts and Pastry Shop . Try the sour cream and sugar jelly , white-cream-filled powder, or the blueberry-buttermilk doughnut . The options are endless. Read more

Jennifer Yu

So much to love about this staple, classic donut shop . Cash only . Pillowy soft donuts . Bavarian filled or apple pie donuts are my fav.

Marc Katsambis

So cheap ! 2 donuts and a drink for under $5. Lots of freshly made cake and yeast style rings of goodness to choose from. You can't go wrong! CASH ONLY .

DJ C

The best cake donuts you've ever had (and I don't usually like cake donuts ). Yeast donuts are great too!

DailyCandy

New Yorkers are passionate about their donuts (second to bagels , of course). This fried-dough mecca in Greenpoint is no frills, offering classic fillings such as egg cream or strawberry jam .

Nisa G

Although they are a donut place, there is definitely more to it: they actually have very tasty bagels ???? , both egg & cheese and lox & cream cheese were great!

This adorable old-school Polish donut shop in Greenpoint has the best (and cheapest!) donuts in all of Brooklyn.

Sandra Rubinchik

I know the red velvet train left the station not too long ago—taking with it all the cupcake vending machines, froyo shops, and cronut lines—but the red velvet doughnut at Peter Pan is timeless.

Brittany Galske

okay best spot for donuts ! cash only but every donut is $1! buttered bagels are $1.60!!

Tommy K

I just called from London as we wanted to get delivery for our friend and the super helpful owner explained they only accepted cash and couldn't do delivery , but she was so nice!

Sarah Chappel

Got a mixed dozen & ate them all. No regrets. They're all delicious & it's too hard to choose a favorite. Sour cream , wheat, white cream filled, coconut , chocolate volcano cream? How to choose?!

Eric Rachlin

The old-fashioned glazed donuts don't necessarily look like much, but when fresh, their taste and texture are revelatory. Arguably one of NYC's rare $1 must-have food items.

Meghan Flannery

Most doughnuts are $1. They bring the doughnuts out as they make them, so don't be surprised if you stop in to pick up a dozen at 9 a.m. and all they have are plain glazed. Best time is around noon.

Ashley

Hands down the best donut shop in the city . Every flavor is amazing and their breakfast sandwiches are the best in the neighborhood .

Jeremy Moore

Bagels are delicious, it's not just the donuts . The best spot in town for an everything bagel with nova (fresh as it comes) with scallion CC

Kevin Skobac

The best donut shop in the city . The sour cream and red velvet are my first choices (only $1.10 ea.). The unglazed crawlers are a fan favorite. Also home to an underrated bacon egg & cheese sandwich !

Jennifer Haack

Great traditional donut shop . Nothing fancy (or overpriced) just great donuts . Definitely recommend going here.

Untapped Cities

Beloved Greenpoint stronghold, Peter Pan Donut & Pastry Shop, still serves old fashioned donuts at a vintage style lunch counter. Be sure to get there by 9! Read more

Wild Bill M

What's good? ? Everything! ! Yes there was a line . But the staff is quick. Great prices. Fantastic. Wish I lived here to enjoy it everyday.

Jeremy Moore

Their reputation is well earned. I go for the nova bagel (fresh, delicious, and now with scallion cc) and I end up leaving with donuts too.

Jess Huey

Fresh baked donuts all day! If you don't know which to get, always go with the sugar, deliciously fluffy and perfectly sweet!

SH Ling

So light and fluffy! And $1.10 a pop! Not a fan of huge dense donuts , so these are the best in my book . I bought a box of 6 to share and I already demolished two.

Gothamist

Eat a Peter Pan donut and you might not be able to stomach a confectionery atrocity at one of the Massachusetts-based, ice cream mutants ever again. Donuts are a dollar and bigger pastries a bit more.

Lauren B.

Ask for the Red Velvet Volcano ! It's a red velvet dough fried like an apple fritter with cream in the middle.

Anna-Lisa Donovan-Campos

Favorite doughnuts . Feels like a trip back to mid-century Brooklyn; quasi-old-timey and feels out of place to whip out the smart phone.

Serious Eats

Classic old school doughnut shop with a devoted following. Old fashioned cake doughnuts are our favorites here.

Nat Harward

Doughnuts : "It was great before Tina Fey spilled the beans, and it’ll stay great as long as elderly Polish gentlemen need a place to sit around looking surly and drinking coffee ." Read more

Village Voice

Hit this place at 10:30 a.m. if you want to see the gathering of regulars. A morning trip also ensures that your favorite doughnut flavor won't have run out.

Ted Levin

The best donuts . I travel from the other side of Brooklyn to Peter Pan. Love their toasted coconut and red velvet donuts

Tim Hettler

Without a doubt, best egg sandwich in town . Get it on a toasted bialy, and treat yourself to a red velvet doughnut . You deserve it.

Robin Man

If your close to Peter Pan's, you have to get either a Cream coconut , cream chocolate sprinkles , or of course my favorite... Red velvet cruller . They also have one of the biggest breakfast sandwiches

Real Cheap Eats

Get the toasted coconut donut ($1). A perfectly fluffy yeast doughnut lightly glazed and generously sprinkled with pieces of nutty, toasted coconut shavings . Sweet, messy, and unpretentious." Read more

Thom Finnarn

Go early to avoid line or skip it entirely with counter service. Not your typical "fancy " doughnuts like other BK spots. These are classic, and heavy...get the marble crueler.

Stephanie H

Throwback to diner cash only times! It's amazing. Secret menu for breakfast sandwiches :)

Stephen Cyr

Although known for their donuts they do mean egg and cheese sandwiches and a stuffed tomato , lox and cream cheese on a bagel

Sam McCrimson

One of the last bastions of cheap and reaallly delicious (non-frilly) donuts in NYC. They only take cash but each donut only costs $1.10.

Gerard N

Maybe the best donut in America. Focus on the cake donuts : maple , chocolate , red velvet are standouts.

Aja Brandman

Classic spot for fresh, cheap , and tasty donuts . Apple cider glazed was in season and amazing ????????

Gabe Batstone

Awesome in every way. Just go here period! Apple fritter and jelly doughnuts superb. Plus great $1 coffee .

Matt Donatelli

Best donuts I've ever had in my life. Stand up front for fast service , or have a seat and be waited on by the staff !

Gabriela Grossmann

Red velvet donut with chocolate chip ice cream from Haagen Dazs, amazing combination!

Tracy Solorzano

Extremely packed on weekends, cash only , and they don't take $50 or $100 bills but my God are the donuts delicious. French cruller and honey dip !!!!!!!!!!!!

Amy Liya

French cruller donut was delicious. They had a huge variety of interesting donuts and for $1.50 each!

Wyngspan

Grab a stool for people watching over bagels & (heaping portions of) lox and first dibs on the freshest doughnut batch. So, so good. Read more
