Longtime customers appreciate the consistency over decades. However, some criticize inconsistent food quality, rude staff, and changes after renovations. Service speed is generally good, though a few report order mix-ups. Pricing is seen as fair by most, but a few find it overpriced for the quality.

Customer Reviews

DING DING ??? FOODS READY this dineresce restaurant serves up all the bells and whistles. Delicious bells and whistles that is. They even let me get some lip numbing medication for my canker sore while i was waiting for my food! I felt treasured. The food was served warm. There was a gentleman watching a video of a tractor on full volume in the establishment which I enjoyed and I think added. Memories have been made! Thank you and good afternoon!!! ??

Excellent food like diner.

Caught a wicked case of food poisoning for the first time in my life, 30 minutes after I left. I don?t blame the restaurant, I think there?s one really careless cook that is sliding under the radar and isn?t as good as the other cooks. They do breakfast really well but I notice an extreme quality change depending on who?s cooking that day. Love this place but cross your fingers and hope you don?t get whichever cook was on the line at the time.

went and sat down more than 30 minutes before close (3pm?) and they refused to serve me?the usual waitress (who is excellent) wasn?t there. usually a great spot, but this irked me

I had to visit this place 3-5 different times before finally catching open hours. think the hours end at 5pm on weekdays and not 8 as it says on the Google profile, and earlier times on the weekend. Try calling ahead before you go? I had a Boston creme here that was pretty good. It?s cheaper pricing than buying from a Dunkin? Donuts so there?s no reason to go else where and I?d like to say it?s black owned but I?m not sure. It?s very diner like inside.

Amazing food. Clean and tasty. Exceptional service

Since renovation, not been the same. Wack service, can?t order everything through delivery, only select items.New Mexican lady trash, prefer Colombian lady. Owner got no manners. Chef is dirty.

Cute local spot with friendly staff ?? unfortunately they don't have plantbased milk for the coffee and the donut was dry.

I liked the ice coffee.

I knew one day they would mess up my order. Today is 7/21 and the time I received my order from the store was roughly 9am. Anyway, the waiter was rude by saying ?what you want?? The cooks didn?t season my food at all. They also Undercooked my bacon. I will not order here any more. Also I will be reporting them to food safety. You never know where people work. Will be getting this sandwich analyzed

Overpriced for bland food. I miss the old donut shop... this place is living off of the history of the old shop. They keep it up... that place will be replaced with a Starbucks in no time.

Classic diner. Very nice and attentive service and great classic diner fare.

We all know the little white in the egg once crack .. ask for it to be removed and owner told me, we don't do that here. Mexican don't like people of color specific them short man.. Kelly makes the place welcome. On that note I'm not supporting this MEXICAN COFFEE SHOP no more.. Mexican people don't even go there to eat that should open eyes.. The short owner doesn't belong there if he doesn't like the customers.

The name is not longer Nostrand Donuts. With the name, also is gone a business defined by excellent customer service where people used to feel like home. Where the workers knew you and would get you coffee without asking how you liked it because they just knew them. A business run by a respected, lovely, sweet, generous, customer service oriented family, was the key for their success. I very much miss them . The other place on 5th Avenue and Bay Ridge Avenue still open. The children of the owner had decided

The ownership has changed and the new owner is mean called my friend and I fat in order to get us to buy two donuts. Was rude all around offering free donut and taking it back, saying donuts were warm but were in refrigerator and cold.

This used to be my favorite spot for YEARS. Unfortunately, there are new owners and they just so happen to be VERY rude. I wanted to order one single donut. The owner kept trying to get me to buy 10. I said I?m ok. He proceeded to say ?You?re big. I thought you would need two.? We decided to walk out. They proceeded to speak disrespectful things under their breath. This business is trash now.

Order Belgin waffles they were cold when I got home and I lived down the st from them the eggs were ok bacon ?? was nasty couldn't even eat it

Limited assortment but their glazed donuts are perfection. Cute diner with inexpensive breakfast dishes. Updating that their breakfast platters are a great deal. Love this place! Where else can you get coffee and a donut for $2.75!?

Does not follow clear instructions written in the notes on Uber eats order. I wrote to separate the meat from the pancakes and send in a separate container. They still placed the meat on top of the pancakes in the same container. Very bad customer service.

This is the best! 13 donuts to the dozen. Donut holes 10 for $1. Excellent homemade donuts. Try the old fashioned. Coconut is a treat. Good chocolate frosting. The setting is great, right out of 1950's New York. Friendly service. Everything takes a little bit of time, but you will get the same attention when it is your turn.

Food is great especially their honey dip donuts, they are always so fresh. They have a lot of breakfast options and their home fries are great too. The service is really fast and friendly wether you dine in or do a quick takeout order. Love this place

THIS IS NOT THE PLACE YOU THINK IT IS. The sign is different and the donuts look like those donuts they sell at a deli thats been sitting in the case for 4 months. Nothing special. I fed my donut to some pigeons. May as well go to the Dunkin around the corner lol. This was my sign to stop eating these damn sweets in the morning smh

I've been going to this donut shop for 45 year. Great donuts, fresh and tasty everyday. dunkin donuts can not compare to these donuts. Munchkin are to die for. Moist. U cant have just one or two. No fancy donuts here, just your regular old time donut shop.

Good little donut shop in the heart of east Flatbush. In a world of Dunkin donuts it's refreshing to have an affordable donut shop in the neighborhood. The donuts are just as soft as dunkin but not as sweet and without the after taste. Though not as much variety as other donut shops I found it to be enough for our family. Did I mention the cream filling is DELICIOUS and I'm not normally a fan of cream filling. Overall I really enjoyed the experience here and would definitely return. FYI a dozen goes for und

Classic NY diner. Good omelette platter and a decent selection of donuts. Reminds me of the classic donuts from school bakeries. Lady was very nice too. Would come back for sure

Really nice staff. Great for a quick bite of food and coffee. Cash under $10

The breakfast menu had many options, got the omlete plate with hash browns and toast. Food was good and reasonably priced. Got a few donuts to go and they are the best. Service was fast and friendly.

I haven?t tried the donuts but I?ve had the eggs, toast, and home fries. Food is good but not great. But for a fast and cheap breakfast this is the spot. Right next to the subway ?? station.

this is not the same business anymore. used to be a cool diner with fresh donuts and a wavy counter and lots of people. now it has plastic wrapped pastries and a sad, straight counter

I ordered an egg white omelette with white American cheese. Instead I got egg whites with American cheese and the older white lady had the nurve to tell me that's an egg white omelette. She was making fun with the chef which I didn't think was funny saying next time egg white omelette with onions and peppers. I distinctly told her that whenever any customers says omelette the hostess should know what it is and that it consists of onions, peppers, tomato, green peppers. I told her to google what an omelette

Delicious breakfast and lovely, friendly, and welcoming people! Kelly is a wonderful server. ! We will return!

Coffee is ok, not too strong, good selection, food not consistent, you should never mess up a toasted roll w/ butter and Jelly.

I used to love this place and go every day but this year they hired two new workers who have HORRIBLE customer service. They are SLLOOOOOWWWW. And they ignore me every time I am there even though I'm super nice to them. :(. I had to stop going there.

Wow a classic american donut and diner. Even counter service.

Amazing donuts. Coconut, Boston cream, and chocolate are my favorite. Flavorful, light, not too sweet. They melt in your mouth ???????? not expensive at all.

They are rude. When I ask for my sandwich turkey bacon with ketchup and pepper and a little mayo on a roll with a running egg. The man is arguing with me how I should have my egg I told him I like it that way. When I get it I get on white toast and nothing on it never going back to this place

Great little donut shop. I usually get western omelet with home fries and toast. The staff is friendly. Service is usually quick.

Absolutely love this coffee shop...the service is always with a smile..the breakfast food is delicious and the feeling in there is like a 1950's soda shop....couldn't ask for a better place to feel away from it all...

My all time favorite donuts. They?re homemade and have been here for some time. Same great tasting donuts even after 20 years.

I have only been there once for coffee the prices were good coffee can cause you $2 and better some people cannot afford it I can and I enjoy a good cup of coffee. Downstate cafeteria coffee is excellent.

Good donuts, gotta go early to get a good selection. Friendly staff

Nothing to complain about, a good honest diner and donut shop. Friendly and quick service.

Visited during COVID pandemic Food/drink *Honey dip - very good *Jelly donut - very good *Marble cruller - good *Bowtie - very good *Turkey bacon, two eggs & cheese on roll - very good

A neighborhood deli with lots of donuts. Food is okay at best... but it has so much charm to it you can't help but love the joint.

This place is awesome everything is fresh and they sevre breakfast and lunch and the most expensive thing on the menu is seven bucks great spot

Maybe they hiked up their prices but it didn't make sense that I paid $18 for 2 western omelette platters, that's the most I've ever paid for a omelette platter for the area smh

I can't eat donuts cuz they really kill my stomach. But since this place is right around the corner from the local police precinct I guess they got a lot of business.

This is my occasional breakfast spot, good quick coffee, donuts and breakfast favorites.. do support your local businesses!

I've been coming to this place since before I could see over the counter. Best doughnuts ??.

Worst behavior of the owner. Their donuts are delicious btw. I don't go there often.
