The baked goods are amazing. The place is iconic!!! The product is consistently the best collection of donuts, pastries and cookies you’re likely to find.Add to that the fact that they make breakfast sandwiches - good price and great great taste. And, yup… great hot and iced coffee.Family owned and run. Consistency in the service from a staff of folks who say ‘hello’ like they mean it. They are happy to see YOU.This place is so outrageously good that it seems ridiculous to write this review at all, because EVERYONE knows how good Peter Pan is.
Nice donut shop in Brooklyn so many choices they also have bagels everything baked fresh daily
Price wise and taste this spot has the best donuts so far in my book for 2022
Donuts were delicious and cheap as well($1.50 most of them)I came here because this is where MJ worked at in Spider-Man No Way home and it felt cool knowing they were there.
There are many donuts I can speak highly of here. But as a big donut fan, I can tell you right now I have never had a French toast. They are out of this world. The staff is incredibly friendly and the location in Greenpoint Queens is a lively and friendly environment as well. Pretty close to the trains and worth the ride for these really good donuts
There always line here. The donut was delicious and they have plenty of choice. recommended! The only thing is they only accept cash payment
You need to get here during the day. I stopped by at the end of the night and they had no donuts left. Even around the early afternoon half of their selection was gone. I picked up two chocolate donuts and walked around Brooklyn. These donuts are great, with just the right amount of sweetness and filling.
The donuts are wonderful. We got there right at 4:30 when they opened. Their traditional cake-like donuts taste like a time honored tradition. The light, fluffy donuts had wonderful toppings. It will become a must visit place whenever were in the city.
Amazing selection of donuts, pastries and cakes. Delicious donuts. Cash only!
An excellent old-school donut shop. Hands-down the best cake donut Ive ever had and I dont even like cake donuts that much. They stick fairly close to the classics, youre not going to find double-chocolate-peanut-butter-bacon-oreo-surprise-explosion-type donuts here. Prices are extremely reasonable for an independent shop, especially in BK.
The donuts are yummy and have great price. There are soft inside and the glaze is a bit crunchy, i love it. The service is ok and the place has an old vibe.
We bad the st Patricks bagel w cc and some donuts and we enjoyed it very much. Definitely recommend.
Classic spot with classic donuts, both cake and yeast, in a variety of flavors. Im not a cake donut person but Peter Pans were great, though you absolutely cant beat their plain yeasted glaze. Chewy, airy, not overly sweet. Top notch.
To start with, Im not a super big fan of donuts, so I may have a slight bias. These donuts were your typical run of the mill donuts, but they do have a large amount of options to choose from. The workers were also very nice, and their prices are incredibly cheap so if youre looking for affordable breakfast this is certainly your place to go.
Excellent bagel, egg and cheese. The eggs were cooked perfectly. We got a half dozen donuts. They were all good. The coffee was fine. I will definitely be back.
Amazing donut shop with huge variety of donuts and pastries. Donuts are super affordable at 1.50 each. Wish we went earlier because some of my favs were already gone.
Some of the best donuts in America. $1.50 each. I recommend anything with cream in it
Best donuts in all the five boroughs! You wont be disappointed. All donuts are fresh and homemade. I recommend the apple crumb and red velvet. Aside from donuts, they make an amazing chocolate éclair with Bavarian cream.
Really really good donuts!! Can’t beat $3 for 2 great tasting donuts. Would recommend the apple crumble donut but blueberry buttercream was also good. Note that they only accept cash so make sure you have a couple dollars. Will be coming back so i can try more flavors!
Been coming here for a few years now -Everything is great. Crumb cake is amazing. Be prepared, the secret is out about this place ever since it was featured in Spiderman No Way Home and the donuts fly off the shelves.
This place is my special special place. It’s truly a treasure. I was first introduced to this historic landmark over 10 years ago. And have not found a better place since. Always a good time when I go. Feels like it always stays true to itself. Doughnuts are always fresh and tasty and worth every penny. ( which are priced insanely well) there’s a little bar with stools to stay and eat. There BEC on a fresh homemade everything roll is LIFE. Coffee is simple and true. Did I mention I love this place... love the vibe, the owner is wonderful. Pure bliss whenever I’m there. Feels like one of the great last places of old “ New York” and I hope one day to bring my children here.
Great neighborhood like atmosphere! Delicious donuts, on both cake and yeast style donuts
I cant believe I hadnt reviewed this before.I come here every week. Sometimes several times a week.A very nice selection of super tasty doughnuts. Real ones. Not the American style ones.
Best doughnuts Ive had in NYC, but not what I was looking for coming from the west coast.Good cake and old fashioned, but the raised doughnuts were all pretty heavy.Vanilla cream tasted a bit processed, plum filling was excellent.
So delicious 😋 so many options to choose from such as pastries, donuts, bagels, and breakfast sandwiches. You must get the apple fritter and the red velvet cream topping donut. Excellent customer service and the employees all followed the Covid precautions. Please note this is a cash only cafe. Plus you can not bet the price 😎 This is definitely a great place to visit while in NYC 🙌🏾
This place serves up some really good donuts, bagels, baguettes, rolls, breakfast and lunch sandwiches everyday. They are best known around the neighborhood for their donuts at this location. You need to get there early because donuts are freshly made, so they sell out fast and all the best flavor or best donuts go really fast. Oh another thing is, get ready to wait on line every now and then, doesnt happen every time but it does happen.When you buy a dozen donuts to take somewhere for an occasion, dont take the same flavor. Give people the option to try different flavors but I guarantee people will ask you; where did you pick up those donuts from? That only proves they do serve up really good donuts at Peter Pan. Oh yeah, please note that its a cash only location.
There’s a reason why folks line up to get these donuts. Not to mention, Spider-Man No Way Home!!!!
So I took the long journey over here to try these infamous doughnuts that everyone seems to rave about on their site and I follow them on IG so I said, let me give it a try. First and foremost, the staff are not friendly at all and the mean looks on their face makes it seem like they dont want to be there. No greeting when you come in the door, I stood there for a few minutes before someone even asked me if I needed help. I was going to get a half dozen but from the vibe that I was getting I decided to just try two. I have not eaten the doughnuts yet but once I do I will ammend this review.
Love this place, great fresh donuts at very affordable prices . They have a to stay area too, and the coffee is not bad . And yes that’s where they filmed the latest spider man movie
Amazing bakery shop ,all kinds of donuts and bagels!The service is spot on,Donna the owner is a sweet ❤️.I buy my favorite bagel and coconut donuts, as well my ice coffee 2-3 a week from here.would definitely recommend to all.
One of my favorite Greenpoint locals — old school style, cash only (but very affordable) and best donuts in town. Their selection of donuts is amazing.
Finally made it here and man I already want to go back. The donuts melt in your mouth. The cream tastes amazing. The jelly is clearly made in house because it tastes so good. I could’ve eaten a box of 6 myself! Wow you need to go here if you like donuts! It’s the best I have had in NYC!
Best egg sandwich in Greenpoint. Great bialys, pretzels, apple fritters and of course donuts too. And everything is very affordable. Truly a neighborhood staple.
Used this location to help raise money for an NYPD Detective with 9-11 related cancer. The donuts are very well liked. Inside has an old school feel. Many donut options to choose from.
One of my favorite breakfast/brunch places in NY. There are only things I love here, the staff, the bagels, the huge variety of delicious donuts, the customers, the layout and of course the breakfast options!!! Worth checking out. Pricing is great too.
Such a great place. Love the variety of donuts, the counter to sit and eat, the delicious bagels, the prices, and the overall atmosphere. The cruller was the best Ive tried, sour cream donut was special as well. Smoked salmon cream cheese bagel was awesome as well.
Best donuts in NYC. Their cake donuts are the best, and its cheap as well. Ive paid way more for way worse donuts! If you live outside Greenpoint and looking to try the best of NYC donuts, you cant miss this. It is definitely worth the trip.Friendly staff, covid proof, and the super charming look of the store are all a free bonus!
Fresh doughy donuts. They don’t taste like that processed stuff either. Super easy store, feels local, old school and not hipster, great prices too, I think I bought 7 donuts for like $10. Went during pandemic, so really quiet about 2 or 3 people in the line around 12 noon. Masks were mandatory and there was really good crowd control. Line went a little out the door though so stay warm.
These donuts are a bargain! Taste great and only paid $3.75 for an Apple Fritter and Blueberry Cake. Cash only!
Wasn’t impressed in my first visit, but probably will give it another chance.I had a Toasted Coconut Donut ($1.25 for any donut) which was slightly tough and chewy.Coffee $1.00You can stay inside for that you need to get through the crowd and take a sit, when someone is available they’ll come to take your order. They have breakfast sandwich options or you can have same donut and coffee.For those who’s taking ~To Go~ orders be prepared to stay in the line for 10-15 mins!!The wait is worth it only if you’re planning to get a dozen donuts or so.
The donuts are a good, but I think they are a bit overrated. I had the toasted coconut, cider donut, and the French toast donut. They were quite dry, and werent as good as a donut from just about anywhere else fresh out of the fryer. I liked the old school charm of the donut shop, but the donuts arent mindblowing. I would definitely stop here if this was my local donut shop, but there are other comparable or better options throughout the city.
Even though I went to get my doughnuts when they werent in the morning and the hottest, these are still great some great donuts to have with some coffee or if you just want to treat yourself after all the city walking. And if youve never tried an egg cream, this little spot serves up vanilla and chocolate egg creams. Fun fact— no eggs are harmed in the making of egg creama
Doesnt get any better than this.Old school and delicious!
Excellent donuts. Quick and efficient service. They have so many flavors, I can’t wait to go back and try more of them.
Simply the best! Every single doughnut is divine. And I love, love, love how the place probably looks the same as it has for decades.
I’m soooo surprised by their donut! Both the original dough and the cake dough are good! Sour cream cake donut is soft and moist, and toasted coconut donut is soft, chewy and with texture! Plus, cheap price! $1.5 each.
We got there about 3 hours before close and they were out of most things. The donut holes were very stale but double chocolate donut was okay. Might need to swing by again.
Its a donut shop but dont forget the bagels! they dont have a menu, but they do have made to order bagel sandwiches. Lightly toasted everything flaggle with liberal amounts of cream cheese...The girls behind the counter are cute and very nice.
The donuts are Amazing. I am loving the glazed old fashion. I came in one morning and to my surprise they were warm. It was definitely worth the early morning drive. Very pleasant old school atmosphere 👌
A very popular place for sit down diner food or to go pastries. The sour cream old fashioned style donut was quite tasty, not overly sweet, and a good consistency.
Plain and Simple, this is the Best 🍩 Donut & 🍰 Pastry shop there Is !!! The shop has an Incredible Smell of Fresh baked Donuts, Pastries and Muffins, that totally make you want to try one of everything... The staff is great, courteous and polite. The shop is Very Clean. The donuts and pastries are always fresh. I recommend the Jelly donuts, Crueller with Vanilla frosting, Pistachio muffin andtheir Coffee ☕ ... And Honestly just try the first donut or pastry that grabs your eye you wont be sorry.. Highly Recommend A+++++
So good. Been here four times over the past few years. Still keeping the old school vibe and prices and amazing doughnuts. Cash only. If they delivered, this would be dangerous to my waistline
By far the BEST doughnuts I’ve ever had in my life — and I’ve been to a loooot of great doughnut places. How on earth is each doughnut only $1.50???? I’m literally salivating just thinking of their blueberry buttermilk doughnuts.I would give them five stars, but some of their employees are rude as heck. I work in two cafes, so I totally understand that work can get really stressful, but some of the girls were rude for absolutely no reason 😐 No wonder MJ from the new Spider-Man movie hated working at this place lol — I would hate it too if I worked with some of these girls.
My favorite neighborhood donut shop! Still amazing and homely and of good quality despite being on the tourist radar. Proud to be in the neighborhood of this shop!Also: spider-man no way home was shot here!!
Amazing donut shop. Nothing fancy (or overpriced) just amazing donuts. The traditional glazed one is just delicious and they also have some seasonal ones like spiced pumpkin in fall.
Their Boston Cream and Apple Fritter are my favorite
Old school donut shop original style decor and family staff. Covid prep. The star, Donuts, are fresh delicious and just the right portion and bite feel Grab a half dozen whenever you walk by!
Cash only business👎Donuts are good, the blueberry glazed is good and toasted coconut is light and fluffy. Busy place but line moves fast.
Hands down top 3 most delicious donuts in NYC for an incredible price. This place is worth the hype and lives up to its reputation. I dont get the donuts with frosting or filling, because Im a bit of a traditionalist so I cant speak to those. For the standard yeast and cake donuts, drool worthy. Idk how they fry these bad boys but they have a phenomenal layer of sweet magnificent crunch and delicious flavor and moist goodness inside. Just get the damn donuts. Bonus points for having Manhattan Special Coffee Soda. Sounds weird, is weird, is also lovely. Highly recommend.
Saw this spot on spiderman and thought hey let me check it out. The spot had an old-school theme to it and the donuts were really good. Very inexpensive and tasty. Would definitely go back when im around the area.
Old fashioned glazed was great. Apple crumble was great. Id still prefer kripsy kreme but that old fashioned has a unique home made taste. Love the place and uniforms.
The absolute best apple fritter i have ever had. little crispy parts on the outside. PIECES of ACTUAL apple inside. heavy cinnamon, but not TOO heavy. its taste is clearly present but not overwhelming.my girlfriend whos favorite dessert is apple fritters (I pre-ordered for a gift for valentines day), as well as my roommate, feel the exact same way. couldnt recommend more
Always great donuts and service! I would have taken a picture of my donut but I ate it in under 5 seconds!
The donuts here were amazing and the service is one of a kind. I strongly recommend trying them out if you looking for some delicious donuts.
Delish donuts at great prices. Great selection of both the classics and also some very unique donuts as well.
It is like you step back in time, but the flavors are fresh, fresh, fresh. Come here up be happy and leave with a dozen donuts! What could be better?!
Ughhhh, I wish I could eat a doughnut from here everyday!! Theyre just the best. Such variety and so delicious. I also wouldnt mind to eat breakfast here everyday - super bagels and the friendliest service even though it gets hectic busy. I LOVE it here and you will too!
Best donuts in Brooklyn. The price is more than fair. Indoor seating from 1PM. Cash only shop
Made it to Peter pan donut shop. OMG delicious. Awesome another place to visit when you are in NY.
If your not into scrambling for space and organized chaos, this place isnt for you. But if you have the patience and value the charm of matching pastel pinafores, the bagels will reward you. The 4 stars are for those bagels!
Amazing donuts! From the UK staying in Manhattan, came over to Brooklyn to see the sights (and try these out) and they did not disappoint. Really relaxed atmosphere, grab a seat and a coffee or get them to go. Big choice of different ones available - a shame I couldnt have one of each! Great service from the staff and really great value, too. Would recommend if youre in the area.
One of the best doughnuts place in NYC! Old school pastries in one of the most characteristic neighborhoods in Brooklyn
Best doughnut place I’ve been to so far in NYC and very reasonable prices, apple crisp and red velvet are my favorites
Best Donut Shop of Long Island City, Northern Brooklyn to my experience. Cash ONLY establishment. Staff are nice
Run, don’t walk, to get yourself a donut from Peter Pan. This giant, delicious, decadent Apple Crumble donut and for only $1.50?? Honestly unreal and now I’m just mad I don’t live closer.
Heres what you do; go to Peter Pan anytime before 2pm and sit at the counter. Dont just get donuts and take them to go. Half the fun is the experience of the atmosphere here. This is our favorite order: bacon, egg, cheese on a flat everything bagel, salt/pepper, apply own hot sauce. honey dip donut, coffee. If you go with a friend, have him/her get a blueberry buttermilk donut and share. Eat slowly and chat with people sitting around you. The locals that sit and eat here have been in the neighborhood for a loooong time and have some pretty awesome stories.
The donuts here are really great. Im still thinking about when I can go back. I got the coconut donut and it was perfect. They also do breakfast here that you can order to go or dine in. A big selling point for the done in experience is the classic diner look this place has. Highly recommend coming here
Came in earlier today and was so disappointed. When I tried to order THREE TIMES, the ladies working there took orders of only the people behind me - not a single one listened to me nor looked at my direction. Even while I was waiting by the cash register for several minutes. I understand that it got a little busy, but to just disregard a customer like that was upsetting.
Doughnuts were delicious and fluffy! Cash only, but they are pretty big doughnuts for what you pay. Excited to go again!
Really helpful and friendly staff, delicious donuts and loads of varieties in a retro environment. Great value too
When in the neighborhood I always stop by for something sweet 😋
The best everything bagels and delicious red velvet donuts that youll find in NYC are here. Consistency is key and they are consistently delicious and the customer service is top notch every time. The bagels and donuts are made fresh daily in the back and they smell amazing.
Great tasting donuts. Cash only location. Kid friendly. Pet friendly. Wheelchair accessible.
Small joints like this are a dying breed in New York---delicious, cheap, no frills, retro diner fittings---so be sure to visit frequently so theyll stay around for the next 40+ years. Their lemon filled doughnut is great, as is their popular coconut cream, a classic donut with a generous topping of sweet-but-not-too-sweet whipped cream coated in untoasted coconut shavings. But my newfound favorite is one I just had today (and forgot to photograph), inexplicably called French Toast (theres not a hint of maple flavor in it). Rather, its a classic yeast donut coated with toasted coconut flakes and finished with a drizzle of chocolate icing on top. Heaven. Once I recover from my sugar high, Ill try the one I did manage to photograph, a white cream filled donut with what looks like red velvet crumble on top. For now, its time to finish my coffee and walk off some of these calories.
The best 🍩 I ever had. Definitely the best in the five Burroughs. The only negative thing I can say is there prices have gone up but the doughnuts 🍩 are still delicious.
I love this place. I order donuts, munchkins, sweet rolls, flagels, and breakfast sandwiches. The lines can get long so come with patience and get there earlier in the morning for a full selection of tasty foods.
I finally decided to head over to Peter Pan Donuts and my experience was extremely pleasant thanks to the girl behind the counter- whose name is heaven spelled backwards- who helped make my first experience killer. The service she provided was nothing less than special (like her name). Thank you PPD. And thans for the sour donut. I loved it.
By the time my boyfriend and I got there, almost everything was gone and for good reason. I got the tasted coconut donut with ice cream (I believe it was flavor with caramel and chocolate pieces). My boy friend got the sour cream cake donut (which is versatile enough to pair with a wide variety of ice cream flavors) with ice cream (cant remember which flavor). Both were pretty good. Note: You need to see room to this place. Its not a light dessert after lunch or dinner. Its we just about a couple hours ago and have taste for something sweet and we may little bit hungry.
Love this place! Classic doughnuts are served fresh everyday and there is a huge selection. Theres usually a line but it always moves quickly!
An always busy place that’s efficient as well as knows how to do what they do well in donuts and everything else. No frills here, just quality.
Not much of a sweet person but had to try since it was recommended. Tasted pretty normal to me, but atmosphere was good and prices very reasonable.
Finally made it to Peter Pan on my recent trip to NYC, first post Covid and it’s a must!The Pumpkin cake was my favourite (over sour cream actually), with great cake donut texture. Apple fritter was quite tasty (better than I Initially thought) and had surprisingly good amount of apples and wasn’t greasy.Only disappointment was the chocolate cake as I didn’t find it that chocolatey?It’s crazy busy so I definitely recommend phoning ahead to reserve flavours if you want the really popular ones and can’t get there first thing. Eg. Tuesday at 10:30 and Saturday at 10:15, choc glazed was sold out.Staff were very nice, and whoever manages their Instagram account is awesome!
Everything is absolutely phenomenal. We went at 4:30am and it was a great way to end the night. I highly recommend starting your day there.
Wow!! What a fun & expansive selection of sweets. The line looked intimidating at first, but the staff made sure it moved efficiently. If you want a box (instead of the paper bag), make sure to ask when you place your order and don’t forget to bring cash as it’s cash only. Enjoy 🍩
Awesome old-school donut shop. Cash only with no ATM inside. The employees are awesome and will take your order before you head out to get cash if you don’t have any. I ordered the Red Velvet 🤤💯 Check this place out. Enjoy!
Dipped my maple donut into hot coffee, and it was perfection - tasted like maple-syrup melting shamelessly into pancakes without managing to overdo the sweetness. Highly recommend this place for a quick stop while you’re shopping/doing whatever you do.
These are the best donuts I’ve ever eaten!They are made fresh on premises.All of the options are amazing.These are a little donuts either, they’re probably the equivalent to Dunkin’ Donuts pastries amd taste twice as good.They also taste great on Day twoThey have a really cozy seating set up andeveryone who works there is very friendly.There’s usually a line of a couple of people in the AM.
My fave donut in NYC! The sour cream donut is my absolute fave. The red velvet crumble one is a feast for the eyes and mouth!
Delicious and very cheap donut shop! I recommend ❤️
Worth the trip to Greenpoint. It may even become one of your favorite neighborhoods. Amazingly cheap donuts and pastries. Trying this place is a must.
You won’t be disappointed. Their donuts are fresh and fluffy without the greasiness. Each bite is like eating little cream pillows of heaven.
Old fashion diner like atmosphere, their apple strudel is wonderful!! In a town like Greenpoint where it already feels like a time warp, Peter Pan is another addition to that nostalgic feeling. Good prices and a simple but sweet time.
Great donuts in an old style bakery setting! They have a variety of donut flavors and offer some other items as well.
Great donuts with super friendly staff. Definitely worth a stop. I had the red velvet donut and the lemon cream filled.
Get there on a Saturday, get a cruller, get a red velvet donut and and egg cream. 6 stars if I could!
One of the best places for donuts and now pretzels with salt!
Awesome place for donuts in Greenpoint, but don´t go near the closure time, much better when they have fresh donut. And try the donut sandwich with Haagen Dazs ice cream!!
One of the best donut spots in the city if you’re looking for classic donuts. As a fan of glazed, I would definitely recommend the honey dip donut.
Not better than any other donut. Stop eating donuts if you weigh over 180 lbs. thank me later.
Lots of varieties in donuts and affordable prices! Will be coming back again to try all the different flavors!
One of the only places I have been to thousands of times and am not even a big fan of doughnuts in general. Would gladly be forced at gunpoint to come here every day to consume bagels and the occasional doughnut (blueberry buttermilk is particularly delicious).
This is like the single best place in New York. Sit down for morning coffee and a donut like it’s the fifties.
The Donut I liked the most was the Honey Dip
I love everything about Peter Pan’s - I love how it’s very clearly a neighborhood staple in a transitioning part of town, I love the vintage 50’s uniforms, I love the cheap coffee that is *exactly* what you need on a Saturday morning, I love their BEC on everything, and I love that they give me a huge bottle of Cholula without having to ask. Service is always fast and friendly, whether eating at the diner or taking away. Heads up though - it’s cash only.Whether you have a sweet tooth (sour cream donuts are to die for) or need a dozen bialys or bagels, this is the place to go.
Their everything flagel with scallion creamcheese is to DIE for. I have had it 30 times in the last year. Their donuts are also top notch. The blueberry buttermilk one is delicious. Everything is super cheap too, but only accepts cash!
My wife and I were visiting from Michigan and we went here. Amazingly good donuts! Good place for a snack. Definitely filling. Dont underestimate how awesome this place is.
Best donuts and breakfast sandwiches ever!! Reminds me of the old school days. Excellent and well worth the wait. I come all the way from LI ! You will not be disappointed
This place doesnt need my review with such an amazing reputation, but I just have to say how much I love it.
Their old fashioned donuts are great! I love the plain one. But do remember that it’s cash only. I had to run to an ATM blocks away
Cute little place that is setup like an old school dinner with spinning stationary stools lining a winding countertop. Tons of donut options that I didnt know what to choose. Ended up getting the cake donut, vanilla frosted with sprinkles donut, and a twisty donut. Felt all were solid and very fresh. Everyone was nice and attentive and they kept the long line moving. Didnt get the apple fritter like all the reviews suggested because they were sold out. Talking to people in line, they all confirmed it was excellent. I will definitely try to get that next time. Thanks to all the reviews for helping me discover this great little place. Check it out all!
I take like 3 subways just for them. Freaking delicious
You know its good, because when you sit down youre across from a group of 80 year olds who have clearly eaten here for the past 40 years. Just might keep you alive longer, tho your mileage may vary
The best donuts. Ever. Expect to stand online for take out as the seating has been removed. Oh, yes, bring cash; no credit cards accepted.
Perfect! 👌

Omg love the donuts great place and price
This Mom and Pop bakery is exceptional. Their donuts are nothing less than being superb. Not too sweet like other chain stores... And they have other delites that I will be trying soon... Highly recommend!
Love the donuts and theyre made fresh daily.
Fresh food, friendly staff, fair prices. Always enjoy it
You should just close once you dont have donuts. I has to take to many bus just to get here an be told no donuts. Smh
I have been coming here for many years, this place is truly what you think of when you remember fresh Doughnuts as a kid. Variety is plentiful, the staff is super friendly, and they even have great breakfast. If you are in the area I would not even think twice, stop in for some of the best in town.
These Donuts are some of the best Ive ever had. They are so delicious and so fresh. The prices are amazingly low and they have a wide variety. Its not like some others with 1 plain dont with different frosting flavors. I always go in planning on buying 2 and buy 2 dozens instead. Go early if you want to get the best selection. They sell out pretty quickly.
Ive been here so many times, its a great, fresh, cheap donut shop for cake donuts! Ive brought a lot of friends and visitors and travelers here as well. There is almost always a line but it always moves quickly. Ive had their red velvet, chocolate, blueberry, French toast, and sour cream cake donuts, as well as a bite of some other regular non-cake donut which wasnt great. I like their chocolate and blueberry the best because it has the most flavor. Red velvet wasnt really red velvety, and the French toast just tasted like cinnamon sugar. At $1.25 (including tax), its a very cheap donut for NYC. Definitely recommend![edit Nov 1, 2021]Came by here again today, prices have risen and now do not reflect tax. 3 cookies for $4.95 including tax. Still fresh, still lots of choices - chocolate is still awesome, have tried blueberry, apple cider, a few others too.
Great donuts. Cash only. Opened early
Great old school place. everyone goes for the donuts but the bagels are the best i’ve ever had
I tried there best seller and it was ok. The 🍩 crumble as you bite into it. If you are around try it but don’t go out of your way.
Always great donuts and bagels. My favorites are the chocolate sprinkle cream donuts and the everything Flagel (flat bagel).
I had a craving for donuts this past weekend and wanted to go somewhere that wasn’t Dunkin’. I’m glad I made the 18-minute drive to this place. The donuts were great. The coffee tasted great too. Everything was affordable. It’s cheaper and tastier than those franchise donut/pastry places. I’m going back soon for a dozen donuts. It’s cash only, which is how it should be.
The apple fritter may be the best thing ive ever eaten... bravo!
Great food. Pastries to die for… not 5 star cause it doesn’t take Credit. Cash only business are probably laundering money. Join us in the 21st century.
Best donuts in Greenpoint so far!! You must go.
When in Greenpoint you gotta go here. Realized after seeing new spiderman this is where they filmed some scenes.
Better than the last time I went donuts melt in your mouth
Lines are long for a reason - this place does brilliant bagels and fantastic donuts. Go for the Sour Cream Donut
Large variety of donuts & bagels baked fresh daily. A fun shoppe to visit.....no place else like it!One of the Treasures of Greenpoint...a must for donut lovers...💖
*CASH ONLY* Charming mom n pop shop with old timey vibe. Small but cozy counter seating. Very inexpensive. Great bagels and wide selection of donuts too. Just wish they had more signs outfront (or on Google) that it was cash only. We only noticed while waiting in line outside thru the window a sign posted at the register and had to run across the street to get cashback at Walgreens.
An absolute staple in the neighborhood serving the best and freshest donuts and pastries in town!
Great donuts. Wonderful service.
Saw this place on food network YouTube page. About a 35 minute drive from where I live. Found it easily and found a parking spot about three blocks away. When it gets warmer it would be nice to travel. Anyways it was crowded and small. But there was good customer service and quick service. The donuts overall were good. The regular donuts like glazed and frosted, has a buttery taste. The more dense donuts like chocolate cake donut and red velvet cake were dry, but the glaze over it balanced it out. I wanted to try this place for the longest. I experienced it but I don’t see a second trip.
Delicious, and incredible prices. Blueberry donut, bearclaw/maple thing, sour cream donut all great.
Best dounughts in Brooklyn. The Bavarian cream is TO DIE FOR!!!
This place is an institution. Best bagels and donuts in NYC.
One of the most original places i visited in New York! The shop itself has an 90s nostalgic atmosphere but in a good way. The donuts are just awesome. Quality is top, the selection is amazing and i still have the taste in my mouth! The bagels are as good and the coffee is great as well. Go for it!
Great prices, great staff.
Best donut! Need I say more? 2/20 Update; I may have understated the initial review. This place has been a neighborhood staple for years. Thats no accident. The usual long line and 4 to 6 girls behind the counter should be obvious. Great lil breakfast spot as well. But, seriously the donuts are awesome.
The best donuts and bagels in town.

You need to get there early or they are almost sold out by lunch time for The BESTEST-FRESHEST-LARGEST made every morning DOUGHNUTS IN NYC!NO DOUBT!!!You have to try it for yourselfGREAT STAFF always on the move and always on point always smilingBest day trip in NYC if you visiting or just hanging around they also have Breakfast if needed, old school OG Bakery in the heart of GREENPOINT BROOKLYN give Pasha a Holla hello she will get order up and ready to goNo photos but will do this weekend before the kids get to the boxes LOL
They really do have the best donuts 🍩
Great Atmosphere.All the staff polite and fast.Donuts are to die for.
I absolutely love their donuts! Although flavors are select during some days, on weekends and busy hours, there is every flavor you could imagine.+ The line is long and moves quickly.- No parking around the area.+ Donuts are cheap at $1.10 each, cheaper than most donut shops. Dunkin chargers $1.40 plus tax!+ Always baked fresh.
Bust spot, but worth the wait and we actually got a seat at the counter.Its a very classic throwback place from the pink and teal uniforms to the zig-zag counter.For groups larger than 2 who dont intend to stay, I recommend electing a delegate to stand in line and order. Its just too small inside to have unnecessary people standing around.
This place is a true gem. The pastries are delicious and so cheap! I dined in and had the sugar coated and the honey dipped. Both were good and I absolutely loved the sugar coated. Also have awesome diner coffee, which is my favorite guilty pleasure. Cash only, though!
Wow amazing. Very good. Tried the blueberry donut
Basically the most popular donut shop in the area, and now theyve started baking cookies!Some of the cookies they now offer are: gingerbread, snickerdoodle, sugar, chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin (TRY THIS ONE!), peanut butter (can skip, but itll probably improve later).I usually stop by for a BLT or toasted buttered bagel. Not sure what they put in their everything bagel but its delicious! Just be aware that because of their popularity, you might run into lines or they might not have the cookie you want (theyre really popular).
5 stars for a donut shop? Yes, let me explain why. Small businesses are slowly disappearing in this city and this place has been a neighborhood staple for decades, churning out freshly made donuts every day at a reasonable price (cheap, by todays standards). I dont know how people find this place, but even during the week midday, there is usually a steady stream of people and a long line on the weekends. It moves quick, though. Skip Dunkin and Krispy Kreme and make the trip to Greenpoint for a unique, old school experience.
The donuts are world class, but don’t overlook the BEC 🔥
Amazing old school donuts with a lot of variety. Very cheap too! Usually a short line (especially weekends) but it moves quick. A lot of vegan options also
Great stuff very delicious donuts coffee and bagel. It feels like their food is home made and with love. Like the beautiful girls dressed in uniform, a rear site to see these days. They run out of stuff very fast the trees place is extremely busy but their service is very fast as well.
For $1 coffee and $1 donuts, these are great!!! Simple and affordable shop for donuts, bagels, egg sandwiches, and coffee. Egg sandwiches are better quality than any food truck. The staff wear cute old-timey uniforms. Right now they have decent Covid-19 precautions - a little confusing, but its fine.
I just love it from the donuts to the bread to the bagels the little hero bread with butter on the money
I come here on Saturday mornings before the crowd. Donuts are bake so fresh there is a slim picking early in the morning. Coffee is good also. This place has like a happy days type feel and their donuts will make you happy.
This spot featured prominently in Spiderman no way home!!Just saw the movie in theaters and looks in real life exactly as it did in the movie !So cool
Like most of the reviews say, this place is awesome. Been going here for ~7 years and in the last year something has changed. The sour cream and red velvet donuts are still awesome, but something in the recipe or person making it had to have changed because theyre quite different than before. They used to be 10/10 and now theyre maybe an 8/10.Still worth a visit for the atmosphere and decor. Cash only!
This was a cute spot. The setup led to a rather chaotic ordering process, but the people who work there will take care of you well, and are very friendly! The donuts were good but I really enjoyed their chocolate muffins, and their bagels were awesome.
Best doughnuts in the city hands down!!! An absolute must!
Its cash only and the line can seem really long but it goes fast and its worth it to hit an atm. The donuts are soft inside and crispy outside and they have a great variety that they make fresh. They also have a small counter for people who want to eat diner food but I havent tried any of it. If its half as good as the donuts then you wont be disappointed.
Deliciously fresh donuts, but very slow service. Their ordering system is inefficient. They had six girls up front doing orders for the carry out and dine in customers. Instead of having two deal with the seated customers, two doing drink and food prep, and two at the front counter dealing with the carry out orders; they had all six running around doing everything. My husband and I waited a ridiculously long line for two donuts. The wait time was 20 minutes. The donuts were tasty but was it worth the 20 minute wait? No, it was not. Maybe, they can have a line just for donut orders and one for food/drink order line. Oh, before I forget, this is a retro dinner type of restaurant, so CASH ONLY. There are no ATMs in the place, but fret not, there are plenty of major Banks within a one-two block radius (Citibank, Chase, TD bank, and Apple bank). Despite the wait, this is a must visit place. Just beware the lines.
Yummie donuts and bagels for really good prices!
Very good bagels. I enjoyed the Everything Bagel and that is saying alot. I have eaten many bagels in my life and this bagel had the right amount of everything. The shop was very small, but the service was excellent. If I lived in the area this would be my regular hangout spot. Every time I visit Brooklyn I will be sure to visit Peter Pan Donut & Pastries I hear their donuts are great too. There were lines of people just for the donuts.
Great place for donuts and coffee the donuts are always fresh out of the oven the staff is friendly and polite good breakfast. Need to stop for donuts Everytime
One of my favourite donut spots in the city! They have a big variety of donuts and other yummy stuffs! The donnuts are nice and fluffy! They also offer drinks and other stuffs! The staff is friendly and helpful!The only downside is its cash only,everything else is on top!
If you are in Greenpoint [or dont for that matter] and looking for a good donut, god-well get one. I personally went out in a snow storm to get Boston Creams, Old Fashioned, Jelly Donuts to name a few. This place is more than awesome.
A hidden gem, you must get there nice and early before the meters and alternate side take affect. The bagels are nice and warm with a mouth watering texture. Order and get out of the way this place gets busy and customers are always in a rush. Well staffed so you wont wait long.
Twenty years, gifting and consuming. French cruller is my throwback crave. But...Post Covid, a donut wrapper freely said she had not had the vaccine. (8/21). I blurted out, “That’s stupid,” stupidly, and was served by another person. Metropolitan Avenue is Covid alley, perhaps, since I met three other shop owners firmly against a vac. Scared to go back.( BTW: St. Anthony-St. Alphonus R.C. Church nearby might exert some moral leadership to parishioners. Pope Francis has been vaccinated, to protect others. )
Great place! Locals love it. Personally, I dont think their donuts meet the hype, but that may be my Midwestern tastes influencing me. I come here for the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel sandwhiches which are very reasonably priced, and delicious! Also, the vibe of this place is perfect. I feel lucky to live so near by!
This is one of my favorite doughnut places in the city. They have so many different kinds of doughnuts and they are open from about 4 in the morning!The red velvet doughnut is one of the most popular items on their menu and while its good, I personally prefer their traditional old fashioned or the seasonal apple cider doughnuts that you can get in the fall. Usually you have to go out of the city to upstate New York if you want really good apple cider doughnuts, but this is one of the few places in the city where you can get good ones without having to travel that far out.This place is also a popular breakfast spot even though they have limited counter seating. We tried their breakfast bacon, egg and cheese sandwich just because we read a lot of reviews that talked about how good their bagels and breakfast options were, but we were a little disappointed. The bacon was dry, the cheese was hard and the egg was not fluffy. If you want to try this place, I would recommend sticking to the doughnuts instead of the bagels although there is usually a long line on weekends.
Often called the best donut shop in NYC- and I would agree. A simple, old-school donut shop that has no pretense of being healthy, experimental or trying to appeal to a yuppie crowd. They have breakfast sandwiches too if you want those. There is some seating if you are lucky and if you need to use the restroom, you can get a experience of their kitchen- which is sweet! Extremely friendly staff and extremely friendly prices. You want fresh donuts that are not trying too hard to be good? This is the place. Carry a box to share with your friends- or to last you the week!
The sour cream donuts are out of this world. I love me a good cake donut and this place does it the best. They also have some wacky flavors of raised donuts. Also the interior is fantastically old school. You feel like you walked into the 60s. I hope it never changes and stays around forever
Wow. The service here was so amazing. My sister and I stopped in during our trip to NYC. I was afraid that I might be treated differently as Im not a local and needed time to decide on what to get. The women working here are so friendly and fantastic! I felt so welcomed! And the doughnuts are 5 stars! The were light and airy. I recommend the doughnuts here for anyone. The locals are lucky to have this place!

2022-01-09Classic American style donuts.We got the jelly donut and it was perfectly fluffy. And filled with just the right amount of jelly. Really fresh too. It’s also a reasonable price. $1.50 for one donut. It can’t get any better than that.Cash only.

2022-03-29Peter Pan Donut & Pastry Shop is the Avenger’s hangout spot! The 60 year old family owned donut shop serves thousands of donuts a day. Marvel fans are here to stay. So many options and literally every single donut melts in your mouth. They stayed fresh for two whole days! Couldn’t resist trying every single one of them.

2022-03-30This place is so good. Classic counter style. The lines are long, so prepare to wait. I ordered a breakfast sandwich as well, which was sooooo good! Very fun for my son. Love it. The staff was helpful, we ordered and waited outside and someone was so gracious enough to bring it outside.

2022-07-12Peter Pan is an absolute must for any visit to Greenpoint. Must take to a McCarren or Transmitter Park picnic.This place is a rare gem in New York City where you can get quality for a decent price. Each donut is less than $2 and are arguably the best in the city.The entire shop has this fifties mom and pop shop vibe to it with the teal and pink smocks to match. There are old school stools surrounding the waitress bar so you can order a meal (if you can get a seat) and get a full breakfast too.The donuts themselves are old fashioned cake donuts which are my personal favorite. They constantly are rotating flavors seasonally with some staples year round.My personal favorites are the blueberry cake, pumpkin, and apple cider!

2021-10-08To say this is the best donut shop ever is an understatement. Cash only. Fresh every morning. Sweet polish spot with the most delicious and perfect priced donuts. I eat an Apple fritter a day when I come to town because they are just that good. Other notable donuts: French cruller, raspberry filled, toasted coconut, and their big beautiful black and white cookies

2022-04-03First time at Peter Pan’s and it lived up to the hype! The donuts were outstanding and a half dozen is only $9. By far my favorite donut spot in NYC for classic/traditional donuts.

2022-05-03I knew/visited the Peter Pan donuts shop even before they filmed some of the scenes from the last Spider-Man movie but not only are their donuts and coffee delicious 😋😋, their prices are very cheap. Everyone at the establishment is nice and friendly.
