Doughnuttery

I’ve been trying to book this company’s donut robot for my wedding for nearly 2 months. I’ve reached out to them several times to get a contract in the works and never heard back after an initial conversation. I was told there was availability for my date and then finally received an email this morning that the person I was emailing was no longer at the company, and sorry but, were booked. Thanks for nothing!!!

Fancypants wrote a novel, so I’ll just write a Haiku.
Pop up shop is gone
Go to the Chelsea Market
I’d like some frosting
That was difficult. But what I was trying to say was that this pop up shop is gone, so for Doughnuttery, you’ll have to go to their location in the Chelsea Market. The doughnuts are the kind that are just dough and they sprinkle flavor on them, so there’s no frosting, sprinkles, or diabetic additives.
I think I just said the same thing twice.

We happened upon this greenhouse on our way back from TKTS in South Street Seaport. From the outside you’d never know it was a sit-​down spot where the Doughnuttery is housed. I love the adorable tables (approximated 8 – 10), some of them set up with chess pieces. Inside it’s cozy & warm & you’re surrounded by plants & flowers & dainty twinkling lights but through the glass walls & ceilings, you can see the tall, brick buildings outside. It’s adorable in here, but I’m not sure that it’s a permanent structure…
We each ordered six doughnuts ($ 6, & you can choose up to two flavors.) The donuts are roughly 2 inches in diameter & are fried right in front of you so they come out piping hot.
We tried:
— Paris time: lavender, pistachio, vanilla
— fruity cereal: granulated sugar & crushed fruity pebbles
— speckled strawberry: strawberry, lemon, thyme, sprinkles
— cheeky peach: peach, raspberry, rose petals
We were intrigued by the flavor combinations, but in actuality, the flavors are all ground together. The tiny cake doughnuts are covered in a sugary coating so that most of the flavor is diluted or lost all together. They’re sweet & a decent dessert, but don’t expect distinct pops of lavender or raspberry.
The Doughnuttery also sells hot chocolate & coffee, which we did not partake in.
One complaint: the African-​American male who helped us had such an attitude problem. He realized he was being impatient & snippy because he apologized by saying, «Sorry, sometimes I get frustrated.» Too little, too late, we were completely appalled by his attitude. I’m sticking to my 4-​star rating for the product, & hoping that you don’t get stuck with 1-​star service when you visit.
