Reviews Summary

Doughology offers a wide variety of creative, specialty donuts with unique flavors, though some find them overly sweet or artificial. Many praise the friendly service, community involvement, and customizable "donut bar" option. While most reviews highlight delicious, high-quality donuts (especially vegan and premium options), a few criticize texture, ingredient quality (like canned pudding), or occasional closures. The shop is generally clean and well-staffed, though waits can be long during peak times. Overall, it's a popular spot with standout flavors, but consistency and execution occasionally fall short for some customers.

Customer Reviews

Was visiting Long Beach over the weekend, and stumble upon this gourmet donut place. The specialty donuts was pretty good and it wasn't too sweet. Just enough sweetness for my liking. My favorite was the oreo one. I also had the almond coffee and it was unique. Definitely check it out if you are in the area!

I wanted to give 3 stars but the employees were nice and the overall atmosphere/set-up of the menu was convenient. Very good pricing transparency too between the standard and premium donuts. They also have a donut bar. My friends have commented favorably on the rainbow cookie donut although they did not have that this weekend. I had the black and white plus the cinnamon bun while my partner got the Boston cream and the maple bacon. They were good overall. However, the presentation/structure of the donuts w

Definitely a great donut spot!!! It was worth it! They make the donuts right there fresh and you add the toppings they have. We stuck with the combos they chose: the fruity pebbles and Oreo were our favorite. The French toast and churro had a little too much filling. Overall it is a great spot and would recommend it

My first time there and when I opened the door the whole place smells so yummy ???. It?s clean and the staff was friendly. The doughnuts were really delicious. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone !

Loved this place! Recommend by a friend of my husband, we decided to try these fancy donuts bcos my son loves them! Located right at the corner of a busy street,parking can be tricky but the shop is aesthetically pleasing and the staff courteous.We ordered 6 of their signature donuts to our liking and I loved the strawberry crumble( as recommended by the lady at the counter).My son loved his confetti donut and enjoyed playing the Tic tac toe at the front foyer seating.The donuts are made fresh everyday,ve

Different for sure and the menu items.for the donuts are unique. They also have mini donuts on a stick but I forgot to take the photo of them. The location is more of a relaxed environment as I decided to stay and enjoy a few donuts which are thick but soft. I would visit again. This is a unique business that is rare.

The Cookie Butter Doughnut was absolutely delicious, I was so eager to try it I forgot to take a picture. The smell drew me from the train station. I had to try one of the many decadent options.

Went here yesterday bc a friend recommended it. Although I was there quick I was immediately impressed. I got the blueberry chocolate crunch donut & asked for one but got two. Felt very grateful bc I have a sweet tooth. I'm not really a fan of donuts bc I find them to be dry but this one tasted so good & had a cake like texture. Very grateful to have found a place like this ????

Doughology makes the best donuts I?ve ever had! Fresh, soft, and packed with unique flavors, every bite was a delicious surprise. A must-try for any donut lover! You now have a new customer.

Doughology is hands down the best donut shop in the Lynbrook area!! The donuts themselves are so delicious and the toppings that get added to each one are simply out of this world. We also tried their homemade waffles for breakfast during our last visit and they were excellent along with a delicious cold brew and hot cup of coffee. Our favorite donuts were the new PB&J, which was on special, the apple strudel, French toast, peanut butter cup. Highly recommend!!

I heard about this place through an Instagram group called LI Eats. Finally got the chance to go and I was definitely not disappointed. I went nice and early on a Sunday. I got lucky with parking right in front of the building. Didn't have too long of a wait and the staff was super friendly and helpful. There are so many flavors to choose from; it took me a few minutes to figure out which ones I wanted to try without buying them all. I was tempted to. Cant say I have a favorite but each unique flavor was su

I love doughnuts, so I was really excited about this place. Unfortunately, it doesn't deliver in the most important aspect of a good doughnut, the actual doughnut! The toppings are tasty and unique, but the doughnut itself is subpar. The doughnuts are vegetarian (the toppings not necessarily), and they have vegan options too. The staff is super friendly, and the place has a nice cozy atmosphere. Disappointing.

Many of the doughnuts have very strange artificial flavors. Tried the rainbow cookie donut and it tasted horrible had a weird medicinal taste. not worth the $5 each at all

Delicious, custom donuts! We've been here many times. Always fresh, always tasty! Recently did curbside pick-up, fast and easy. Thanks! We'll definitely keep coming back!

Decent cake donuts with fun toppings and flavors. We enjoyed the churro donut, snicker donut, and Boston cream. Counter service could be a little warmer and welcoming. Glad I had chance to try them while in the area.

Ordered donuts for a Birthday party. Everyone loved them. They were so fresh. It was a nice change from birthday cake!

Just picked up a dozen doughnuts the other day for a family function and they were a hit. I really enjoyed the mix of donuts, but a few we're a little too sweet for me. Still, I really enjoyed them. The French toast doughnut was INSANE I definitely recommend it.

Not your regular doughnut shop but a bit different. The doughnuts are custom made after your selection from the menu. You can see them top the doughnuts with the toppings so after the order it takes a little bit more time for them. It was a fun experience and the doughnuts are a sweet bite of heaven. If you are looking for a different doughnut creativity experience this place is top on the list.

Came here after getting lunch in the area. Service is friendly and helpful. The pictures on the wall were helpful in making a decision on the large amount of offerings! Prices are reasonable! Every was great

Great place for specialty donuts. Worth the visit. You would imagine Long Island would have more places like this. They have a menu of limited specialty donuts as well as the regular glazed / dipped variety.

Cute doughnut shop in Lynbrook with really fun doughnut combos. You can even create your own! They also offer doughnut waffles and doughnut nachos. Fun to watch the doughnut machine as well.

Great Experience. Coffee shop vibe and yummy doughnuts. Love the donut bar option where you can build your own doughnut. Ordered a large catering order for the following week after the tasting went great and everything went as planned! Thanks and cheers to small business.

Delicious variety of Doughnuts, and you can also build your own, fresh Coffee as well. There is a sit on area, modern, clean, great Atmosphere, few minutes from parkway, close to Hempstead lake park, and they?ll be opening one in Babylon which is closer to me. Maple bacon is delishhh! Fruity pebbles, churro, Oreo and so much more!!!

Donuts, man, donuts. Outstanding donuts. And the coffee wasn't bad either. Just look at these bad boys and tell me you don't want some.

I picked up a dozen of their signature donuts. They were a huge hit at a birthday barbecue. The employees were very nice and helpful.

Had a craving for doughnuts and didn't want Dunkin. Should have gone to Dunkin and spent a third as much for some doughnuts. The doughnuts are pretty and taste ok gave a taste of an Entenmanns that had toppings thrown on top. Coffee was ok but insanly sweet. The hot chocolate was liquid fire, and the cup it was in did nothing to shield my hand from it. Overall, if I have a craving for a very specific doughnut flavor, I might go back.

Amazing spot with a cool vibe and AWESOME DONUTS!! Even my dog was welcomed outside to a bowl of whip cream! ?? EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE !

Doughology is definitely the place to be! Their donuts are incredible, home made and tastes 1000x better then any other donut distributor I've had in long island! They have such an amazing variety of flavors of donuts! From the classics like frosting to imaginative ones like oreo, Churros and so much more! Highly recommend the cheese cake donuts. Has that little fruit kick to really send your taste buds flying! Also ask them about their rainbow cookie donut! Their made in limited supply but if you manage to

This place was flowing with creativity when it came to donuts! The donuts also tasted amazing! You can't help yourself but to buy at least half a dozen.

Donuts were yum! But definitely on the sweeter side. There were 2 that were a bit dry (raspberry jelly & peanut butter cup). Possibly because they were sitting there longer? Idk. When paying for my half dozen donuts, the girl told me my total was $14.50. Checked my credit card later and saw she charged me $15.08 ...hmmm. Thinking back, there was a man who was paying with cash and after the girl gave him back his change he looked a bit confused. She said "oh we don't have change so we rounded up." Guess the

Visited on 3/30/22. I ordered 1/2 dozen specialty donuts. All were tasty but my favorites are the caramel apple crumb and the smores. They have a tasty variety of donuts and regulars. Plan on trying the churros one next

Great staff and delicious donuts! I've been coming here for a few years.. Maple bacon is amazing and the kids love to spin the wheel of prizes! Very fun and filling. Vegan options as well.

Im giving it three stars (and it could be because I've had much better donuts) however, we got the lemon coconut and french toast donuts. It was a little too sweet for my liking. I've had fluffier softer and more moist donuts before. However the staff was friendly and the place was clean. I'm not giving four stars because there is definitely room for improvement.

Doughology is in the heart of Lynbrook and has a nice atmosphere. The place is cozy and clean. The donuts are definitely to die for - they are fresh and delish. The rainbow donut was amazing! ??

My husband, 2 daughter's & I love their doughnuts. The young female that helped us on Friday afternoon (10/12/18)was so sweet and professional while my daughter and I figured out which doughnuts we wanted. The Thin Mint & Lemon coconut are my absolute favorites my youngest daughter really likes your maple bacon and wants their doughnut bar at her birthday party next year, so I guess we have to make that happen. Lol. Thanks for the great doughnuts. Keep up the great work.

Not worth it! Taste horrible. Messed up my orders too. Guys at the front desk has no manners.

Awesome place! A must on the places to visit when in Long Island! Huge selection of toppings. Donuts taste super fresh. Definitely fun experience and will be visiting again soon.

Almost missed this gem hidden by trees. 2 doughnuts & coffee. Doughnuts, plain & chocolate, done well. Cold brew coffee is a good brew & ready to enjoy.

Donuts are so good . Good taste , light sugar . Service is commendable.

Pick up a half dozen of their signature donuts ?? these are some pretty good donuts first time trying them??.

I went there bought 12, 6 Boston cream, it was broken little cream it stink. Never going back there at 3.50 each

Really good doughnuts. Tasty and interesting flavors. Taste as good as they look. Excellent service

I called earlier to make sure they were not sold out of any donuts. The young lady who answered my call was absolutely EXQUISITE ???????? Such a SWEETHEART! Like you do not come across people like this anymore and my family is so gracious!!! Thank you so much!!!

Theses donuts were AMAZING!!! They melt in your mouth are fresh & creamy. Flavor explosion in your mouth! *Standing Ovation

Walking in the store for the first time in really confusing. With all the options that are available, there should be a billboard that makes it simple. Or maybe come up with a simpler menu, but a new costumer shouldn't need an employee to hold up the line and explain things.

Came in and everyone said good morning. I appreciate the welcoming feeling. Be back for sure.

One of the best doughnuts I ever had! They were so soft and full of flavor and the owner was so nice and I will definitely be coming back to try more flavor doughnuts!!

Great unique doughnuts with a friendly service. Love the fact that they care about the community and give back to it.

We got 6 doughnuts, plus some doughnut holes... Every single one was delicious! There is a maple bacon doughnut!!

They customize donut toppings here, so it's an interesting service model, so 5/5 for service. They have a menu as well. I gave them a 3/5 for food because although the donuts taste good, and are not cloying sweet, I've had better taste and textural experiences at Krispy Kreme, to the point that I order glazed donuts as a litmus test at all donut shops.

I stopped in to get some donuts for my kids. They absolutely loved them. We will definitely visit again.

Fabulous, homemade and delicious! You need to go in there and pick your favorites. Nothing like them anywhere!

Go ahead! Have a donut! Or 2! And the donut holes (doughballs)!!! Churro and Nutella Chocolate Crunch donuts and assorted donut holes... #donuts #donutholes #doughnuts #doughology #doughologydonuts #doughballs #doughologylynbrookny #photography #foodphotography #foodphoto #lightsandshadows

The donuts are just okay! To be fair, I chose some pretty plain flavors (cinnamon, glaze, and Boston cream) but from those I was able to gauge the quality of ingredients and prep. Again, the cinnamon and glaze are okay. The Boston cream was inedible. I was shocked that they used a canned pudding instead of an actual custard or barvarian cream. I know it's more work, but it is so worth it. But we are definitely in an age where businesses are put in a position to take so many short cuts. To the leadership, ju

Thought it would be better. Not a fan of cold donuts. A French Toast donut I would think should be warm.

To keep it simple, I love the strong variety of donuts here(esp fruity pebble and dulce de Leche)and the way they gently place them in the box and neatly handle them. Plus the staff was sweet and awesome, esp the red head girl.

Great staff, great donuts. Just look at the photo I took. It's like a donut sent from heaven

This place is so cute and the doughnuts are amazing! It's almost dangerous that I live so close to it because I have to stop myself from going everyday. You can order a donut from their pre-created list or you can make your own. I highly recommend this place, it is delicious!!

Omg the churro doughnut is to die for!!! I will be back again soon!!

Their rainbow cookie donut is really good. Everything else is the same basic base, so get creative with your "make your own" donut.

I did not expect these Donuts to taste this good. They were delicious!!!

Closes the store a lot due to ?extreme heat? ? Not kidding. How about using air conditioning like every other business does?? Absolutely ridiculous to close due to outside heat. Not wasting my time or efforts anymore to go. You don?t want to stay open for your customers, all good, I?ll hit up any one of your competitors who have no problem operating in this ?extreme heat?. REALLY LAME

I had fun building my own donut. Ingredients are fresh and Staff is friendly. Definitely will visit again when in the area.

When my donuts arrived I was so excited. I opened the box, they looked so fresh and they looked like a work of art. It wasn't too long before I tasted a couple??delicious? !! Who needs the other donut Shop. I don't ??.

I prefer Doughology over Dunkin' Donuts any day. I wish I took pictures. To be a corner property, it's a nice size. Well decorated smell great, a smell that entices you to want to try at least one of the many different custom Donuts that made here. You can choose from Cereal, Custard, Jellyfruit, M&M's, Peanut Butter, and many other topping even Donuts Pops.

I've been wanting to go to this place for quite some time now, but I live over 100 mi away so it's not often I am in this area. I can only tell you this, I will certainly be making the trip more often. I bought one of every donut they offer, I am three in, and I just hope I don't eat the whole rest of the box. These are really delicious, well made donuts. I would highly recommend getting yourself over to this place, they do a great job and they were very friendly as well. I almost didn't get the French toa

All looks yummy tried a few & took home 1 all was pretty good though . Not spectacular as it looks though. Chill place staff was great would visit again & try some more .

Fun shop with a patient staff that helped us first timers figure out what we wanted. The donuts were really good and satisfied the sweet tooth craving that we had. Well totally go back to try other menu items and the coffee that looked so good. The breakfast menu was short but looked exciting. We didn't try anything but we will at some point. Everything was clear and easy to following terms of social distancing and the traffic flow.

I've been coming here occasionally since the place opened in 2016. The donuts are good. Be aware that they are not yeast based but rather, the cakey, dense donuts. I find that the donuts are a little too sweet. Especially, since the toppings are sweet as is. The coffee here is phenomenal it's not talked about enough. The prices are reasonable. Definitely, give it a try if you're around.

Hands down, the best donuts I've ever eaten. Many places may look great, but they taste horrible. At this place, they look great and taste great too. Go on Sundays for the rainbow cookie or canoli donut. I have a bunch of foodie Italian friends who all love their donuts. They fight over who gets to take home the leftovers.

Keep me away from this place. The doughnuts are delicious, and the staff members are patient. I refuse to become addicted to this place. Keep me away.. But I didn't say it was wrong to send someone to pick it up. Enjoy these delicious treats and friendly service!

The donuts are delicious! They have unique flavors and they aren't too sweet. Their hot chocolate is very yummy as well.

Excellent customer service and very sweet donuts

Compared to some establishment that serve vegan donuts, the treats are noticeably smaller, but alobg with this establishment being easier to get to, wonderful flavor, all the same.

Cupcakes were absolutely delicious and the service was great as well. I was able to be in and out in no time

This place is AMAZING!!!! All the donuts are delicious??????????

This is one of the best donut places I've ever been to. The donut base is simple, but they offer a wide array of toppings including dips (vanilla, chocolate, lemon, maple among others) toppings include bacon, m&ms chocolate chips and others. My little girl loves this place. It is our Saturday morning go-to breakfast place. They were open at he height of the pandemic performing curbside delivery. The staff is enormously friendly and remembers the names and orders of their regular customers.y daughter gets

By far the best donut shop in the area! They have a great selection of vegan donuts too and you can even customize any donut. The owner was there making fresh donuts and he was the friendliest person. A must try and an absolute worthy stop when going to Hamptons.

We went to thank doughology for helping us make this memory so special! Our family truly enjoyed and will always remember.

Staff is always nice and donuts are absolutely amazing. My mother has spent most of her life in the hospital over the past 2+ years and I have always brought in Doughology Donuts as a treat for the nurses and doctors that were treating her. They always raved about the donuts and asked for the location. This is definitely a hidden gem in Lynbrook. I saw some negative reviews regarding their menus and wanted to comment. If creating a customized donut is too difficult, then just pick one of their specialty

Best doughnouts I ever had. Bold coffee the best!. Clean sitting area. My wife loves this place!

This place is incredible! The donuts are creatively delicious. I would have given 5 stars if the wait wasn't so long, but let me tell u it's worth the wait ( although the owner reassured me that it was abnormally busy ). It's a well staffed establishment with a smart ordering system that makes the wait tolerable if it is busy. The donuts are priced right and the perfect size if u are not the overindulgent type. Its not your carbon copy donut shop..I would definitely recommend a visit.

I?ve ordered custom donuts for two different occasions over the years. The last order was placed On Tuesday for pick up on Saturday. They are professional and accommodating. we used donuts as favors for a 50th wedding anniversary, came out great. Everyone loved them! Highly recommend!!

Great donuts and great service. Will be back again no doubt!

Incredible variety of eclectic doughnuts rarely found in the Long Island area. Must try them all! ??

The service was very good being a first timer, the discounts and items was explained in detailed. The Donuts were excellent!!

So many doughnuts to choose from. Also you can create your own. They all taste amazing and are reasonably priced

Love the coffe and of course the donuts. Nice place.
