They’re back!
After shuttering its beloved
Bedford-Stuyvesant
location in early 2020,
Brooklyn’s Dough Doughnuts
is back with a new location
in Prospect Heights
and another planned for Astoria,
Queens.
The doughnut purveyor
made headlines in 2020 after
Fany Gerson, one of
Dough’s founders, left the
brand to start up her own
bakery prior to closing the
Bedford-Stuyvesant sweetsslinger.

pandemic later, the cult favorite
is back in the borough,
and the reception has
already been warm, according
to the bakery’s marketing
director.
“It’s really been amazing,
the community has received
us so well,” said John Sanchez,
adding that the borough’s
new shop will be led
by Dough co-owner Steve
Klein.
“It was really heartwarming
to receive the support
we did from the Prospect
Heights community.”

near Park Place was once
home to neighborhood staple
Joyce Bakeshop, which
closed during the pandemic
to the dismay of many locals.
Sanchez hopes the shop’s
second-coming can fill the
void left by Joyce’s closure.
“The bakery that was
there prior, we know everyone
in the community really
loved them. They did
an amazing job serving the
community,” he said. “They
gave us their blessing, we
got along really well, we had
a nice conversation and we
decided to move to Prospect
Heights.”
The shop is known for
making its doughnuts with
brioche dough in small
batches.
The goods are made fresh
throughout the day, and are
then dipped in unique custom
glazes — a process customers
can watch live in the
window at the soon-to-open
Astoria location. The brand
offers unique flavors like
hibiscus, Nutella and strawberry
shortcake, as well as
seasonal and holiday f lavors
like a margarita doughnut
for Cinco de Mayo.
