Fat Doughnut
50 Malcolm X Blvd, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Fat Doughnut is a beloved Williamsburg institution where pillowy, generously-sized donuts—especially their legendary maple glaze—are the main event, though their recently upgraded kitchen now also turns out phenomenal chicken sandwiches and an incredible chocolate chip cookie. The shop has a genuine mom-and-pop warmth to it, with an owner who genuinely cares and a calm, laid-back vibe that makes it equally suited for a quick grab or lingering over coffee, earning devoted fans who've been returning for years.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Owner is such a sweetheart. I had an oatmilk latte and my daughter had an oatmilk hot chocolate on the first visit with a cinnamon roll and maple glazed donut. Second visit had a walnut glazed twisty thing, oreo cookie donut and original glazed (all pictured). Each donut had a…
