Dough Doughnuts Astoria — Restaurant in New York

The donut shop is nice and the donuts look very pleasing to the eye but they’re disgusting. I ordered the strawberry shortcake and the donut was overproofed, excessively yeasty, almost alcoholic, and the texture was aweful. I had to spit this one out.

So let’s go over it. The initial look of the donut is 5 stars! People first eat with the eyes.

The good: Nice service. Kosher and orthodox jewish friendly. Hyped.

The bad: The donuts are made with fairly poor quality ingredients. They may even be using cheap colorants, soybean oil, etc. The taste is not as good as it is hyped up to be. Nothing special really. Krispy Kreme was also less dry than Dough. The price is too high for regular donuts made with simple ingredients.
