The story
Peter Pan Donuts stands as a nostalgic pillar of Brooklyn’s pastry scene, one of the last shops in New York still hand-making fresh donuts every morning. The operation is anchored by a dedicated team and the legendary donut maker Freddy, who has been perfecting his craft for over 30 years. That commitment to traditional labor has earned the venue a stellar 4.7-star reputation among locals and visitors alike.
That craft shines in every bite. During his search for the city’s best, Jack's Dining Room specifically praised the Apple Fritter Donut and classic glazed with coconut cream, which he noted as the best of the day. For anyone seeking a classic treat in Brooklyn, Peter Pan is an essential destination.

The apple fritter donut emerges as the clear star, praised for its crisp exterior and tender, cinnamon-laced interior. Overall, the vibe is one of unpretentious, old-school charm that delivers pure, satisfying comfort.
“This apple fritter donut is dunked in their homemade honey glaze. It's delicious — so doughy on the inside, and their secret family honey glaze has a little extra sweetness to it. One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.”
