Peter Pan Donut and Pastry Shop in Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Have you ever wonder how donut should be spelled? Is it donut or doughnut? According to grammar.com, “More exactly, "donut" is the US spelling and "doughnut" is the spelling used more frequently in the UK”. Whatever it is, I love doughnuts, cake or yeast, classic or with a twist. So, as we were in Greenpoint, we decided to try Peter Pan Donut and Pastry Shop, a popular place that has fed hungry patrons since the 1950s and was even featured in Spiderman: No Way Home, although recreated in the Atlanta Studio where the movie was filmed. Mornings are quieter than afternoons, so it can be hard to find a spot to sit, and make sure you bring some cash to pay.

Jodi usually goes with a coconut one and she liked the toasted coconut one, although then second time we went there, the coating fell a bit apart. On my side, I usually go for a French cruller not because of the fact that it has “French” in the name, but because I love the slightly crispy airy texture and egg like taste it has. Other favorites are sugar donuts and the Boston Cream. The latter was really good, the vanilla custard it was filled in being very good.

These yeast donuts are superb: airy and chewy, and they only cost $1.50! So if you are in the area, stop by!

Enjoy (I did)!
