One of the sweetest, most tight-knit communities in the 718. Prospect Heights has seen much change in its time, which is visible in the architecture alone - the streets are lined with a mix of beautiful historic rowhouses and new luxury condos. Though small in size, it holds two of the borough’s largest institutions - the BK Museum and the BK Public Library - as well as the Barclays Center, home to the NBA's Brooklyn Nets. Over the past 15 years, we’ve witnessed the resurgence of restaurants, nightlife and shops, putting Prospect Heights on the grid as a beloved Brooklyn destination.
High-quality, tasty coffee and pastries in an airy, elegant space.
This spot is worth the hype. Doughnut Plant’s history goes back as far as 1910, to when the owner’s grandfather, Herman Israel, started working in a bakery in Minnesota, at the age of sixteen. 83 years later, Herman’s grandson, Mark Israel, moves to NYC and starts the first Doughnut Plant shop with his grandfather’s doughnut recipe. He went on to invent the Jelly-Filled Square Doughnut™ (WUT) and the World’s first crème brûlée doughnut, a Doughnut Plant signature sweet. Today, with five stores and selling in over 45 locations in New York, they are one of the NYC’s favorite doughnuts. If you are a doughnut fanatic, consider this your mecca.
