Peter Pan Donut & Pastry Shop.

Peter Pan might look like a familiar place to fans of the Marvel movies. That’s because this the bakery MJ (played by Zendaya) works at in Spider-Man. No Way Home!

And you know what Aunt May says, “with great power there must also come great responsibility”. Luckily they make some of the best donuts in Brooklyn. I know I’m not the only one who has made the trek for one of their old school sour cream donuts.

And speaking of old school, Peter Pan is a cash only establishment. Swing by an ATM before stopping for some of the best donuts in NYC.

Getting a reservation at Balthazar’s takes nothing short of a miracle. The popular New York City restaurant has had plenty of hype (for good reason) and eating here is high on many peoples bucket list.

However, if you can’t get in for brunch, I learned a trick, visit the bakery next door! They make the BEST chocolate donuts in NYC, perfectly dense and chocolatey. Oh, and the chai latte from this joint can’t be missed.

Established in 1916, Orwashers, a longstanding Upper East Side bakery, now has a second location the Upper West Side. With over 105 years of serving New Yorkers, their success lies in perfected traditional baking methods. While many come for the bagels, seasoned locals recognize the hand-filled jelly donuts as hidden gems, among the best in NYC. Arrive early for the top picks, as popular items sell out fast!

Is there anything better than fresh apple cider and donuts during fall-time in NYC? I think not! Home to 48 farmers markets throughout the Big Apple, there is not shortage of fresh fall treats.

My personal favorite market for apple cider goodies is Union Square Farmers Market. Although you can get treats year-round from any farmers market, some of the best donuts in NYC are the seasonal flavors found during the holidays!

Peter Pan donuts has been a staple to the Greenpoint neighborhood in Brooklyn for years. Offering a tons of outstanding donuts, this the place you go to when you want a nostalgic, old school experience.

Serving one of the best classic apple cider donuts in NYC, Peter Pan has made an honest woman out of me. The donuts exterior is fried to perfection giving it a coat of crunch with every bite and the inside of the fried-delight packs a punch with flavor.

Every year I (gladly) make the trek and order myself a dozen apple cider donuts only to find three of them make it home. They’re so good I can’t help myself (all the looks on the subway are so worth it). And speaking of old school, Peter Pan is a cash only establishment. Swing by an ATM before stopping for some of the best apple cider donuts in NYC.
