Yelpers seem to love the doughnuts at Peter Pan Donut & Pastry Shop. Many apparently feel that these are the best doughnuts in New York City. I don't agree with them but what I can say is that Peter Pan has a huge selection of doughnuts and they are all good, but not great.
According to Peter Pan's employees, the most popular doughnuts are the red velvet and anything with white cream. I brought home 6 doughnuts for T and I to try.
We started by tasting the sour cream doughnut, a flavor I have never seen anywhere else. The texture was cakey and it tasted pretty good but it didn't have any unique flavor. To me, it tasted like a plain doughnut with some glaze.
Next, we had a piece of the red velvet. The texture of this doughnut is really nice. The outside is crisp but the middle is really soft. This is also kind of a cakey doughnut and was pretty good, but the sweetness of the glaze took a little away from the red velvet flavor.
Next, we tried the honey-dipped. This was an excellent doughnut - fluffy, tasty, similar to a Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut but bigger.
The toasted coconut has the same softness and fluffiness as the honey glazed and had an excellent toasted coconut topping that is crispy and a little addictive.
Next, we tried the white cream-filled doughnut. The cream was mildly sweet and very good, kind of like the cream in Italian desserts.
The white cream with red velvet, however, was a bit of a mess I couldn't really taste the red velvet topping, which increased the size of the doughnut too much and made it difficult to eat.
Overall, Peter Pan makes good doughnuts, but none of them are truly delicious.
