Tasty Donut to go in grand central

I had a vegan pistachio donut. It was very tasty and the price was okay by New York standards.

Grand Central downstairs Dining Concourse, next to Track 112

UPDATE: when I visited this place three years ago, they were all out of vegan donuts, and from what other reviewers noted at the time, this is not all that unusual--so I rated them with just 1 star. The last few times I visited, however, I saw that they were well-stocked with vegan donuts. Indeed, today, they had four different types of vegan donuts, which is about 1/3 of their total offerings, and the vegan donut I had (a chocolate sourdough donut) was quite good. So since they evidently upped their game, I accordingly upped my rating.

The vegan sourdough doughnuts are amazing

Best doughnut I've ever had! Vegan guava and grapefruit sourdough doughnut, so fluffy and delicious!

Vegan Sourdoughnuts

Floral pink guava and zingy pink grapefruit is how it was described online - it hurt my mouth it was so sweet. Super chewy but nice that there was at least an option when my company ordered donuts today. Probably wouldn’t go out of my way to get donuts from here though.

Good doughnuts

I bought the chocolate and raspberry glace ones and they were good. I liked them, there was another vegan flavour I didn't try. I don't get the bad reviews, either they are very picky or they had a bad batch.

Pros: Good flavour choices for doughnuts

Cons: Difficult to find

Gross…

Just don’t come to this location. I’ve seen great reviews otherwise, but this location is janky. Not only did I have poor service from the attendant who brought a nasty attitude with her to work, my doughnut was stale and looked like it was made a week ago. Tasted like it too. I had to throw it away.

Fluffy, delicious doughnuts

We stopped here around 10 AM on a Thursday, and they still had all three types of vegan doughnut. We had the double chocolate and pistachio, both of which were delicious and pleasingly fluffy.

They don't serve decaffeinated coffee, but they directed us to Joe Coffee a few steps away, where we were able to get a vegan chocolate chip cookie as well as some decaf Americano with oat milk that refused to go into solution in the coffee.

The service at Doughnut Plant was a little cold, which leads me to think that the business is not paying its workers well. In the past, when I had a chance to get a behind-the-scenes look at a business where the service was cold, I learned that it was because the business wasn't paying or treating its workers well.

Pros: Delicious doughnuts.

Cons: Workers don't seem to be paid or treated well.

Plant milks + one vegan donut

Nothing to write home about, but if you’re here waiting for a train and suddenly become possessed with the irrepressible longing for a vegan chocolate donut (as one does), this is your only road to salvation (without leaving the station, anyway).

Great double chocolate donut!

Light and fluffy donut with a deep, dark chocolate flavor. The donut itself is chocolate and so is the frosting.

Pros: Delicious vegan option!

Cons: Not many options

light and delicious

only a few options but it is a donut place after all so do you really need more than 3 options when they’re all fabulous? highly recommend. delicious and light donuts.

Limited

I think there were three vegan options which in this century is very limited.
The sourdough was fine but a bit odd for a donut.

The vegan options they do have are great

Had blueberry sourdoughnut and dark chocolate sour doughnut. They were both awesome.

Occasional treat

I like the rich revolving vegan flavors some of which change throughout the year. It's good for an occasional snack.

Pros: A few vegan options, Quality, Rotating creative flavors

Cons: New York City prices, Vegan flavors usually run out well before closing

Pretty good vegan donuts

We went here on a Sunday. They had two of the three donuts available - dark chocolate and passion fruit, and they were missing a pistachio flavor. Their menu featured the vegan donuts prominently and said that they were made from sourdough using a non-commerical yeast starter (FWIW). My impression was that they were actively courting vegans. The donuts were interesting--chewy, not flakey. They hit the spot!

Not many options (Just 3, with 2 available). The one I chose was delicious.
Staff not very friendly.
Oats coffee was not very good.

Chocolate option really tasty.

Pros: Tasty

Cons: Not Many options , Coffee

Decent vegan doughnuts (if you can find them)

you have to get lucky to encounter a vegan doughnut at this location. i check their stand every time i come into the city but never get lucky. last week i came across a vegan chocolate doughnut so i tried it. it was decent.

An ok place

Not much of a variety (like 3 kinds of vegan donuts)
But it’s tasty :)
They also have 2 kinds of non dairy milk -oat and macadamia.
Coffee is not that great tho.
