Handcraft Doughnuts

I absolutely LOVE these doughnuts! They're not too doughy! They're light and the perfect amount of sweat! ALLLLLLL the flavors, EVERY SINGLE FLAVOR IS delicious! It's genuinely difficult to choose and not get all of them every time! Everyone that works here is amazingly kind and they're always smiling.Always positive vibes and good eats! It's currently 1am & I want some right now LOL!!!

I've now been to the Handcraft Doughnuts twice. The first time I went they were completely sold out but I got the opportunity to meet the master baker behind it (Ike). When I found myself around Union market again I had to stop by. I loved their options. I ended up getting 3 doughnuts (Rosewater Buttercream, Brown Butter Maple, and Yuzu). I was surprised of how good Yuzu was. You can taste the quality of the doughnut in the texture. Personally whenever I get a doughnut from Dunkin Donut my stomach hurts afterwards. These doughnut tastes way better than most typical doughnuts. Definitely worse every bit. Ike is awesome as well. Very personable and a great host.

Some of the best doughnuts I have had in D.C. the dough is very light and the flavoring doesn't taste like a bunch of sugar or artificial sweeteners. Unfortunately, I came pretty late on a Saturday afternoon so most of the flavors I wanted to try were out. However, the owner made some great recommendations for what was left. I landed up getting a buttermilk glazed one and loved how light the whole treat was. To ensure you have a wide variety of options to choose from, it's best to come way before 1pm.

Very happy to have a new doughnut place in Union Market! The doughnuts are large and airy, but still have a substance to them. A decent collection of choices include some savory ones. Very nice pit stop with the kids.

Appreciate the conversation and opportunity to try excellent doughnut flavors from a great local business popping up in another great local business - Solid State Books. Today I got the classic buttermilk glazed donut, chocolate ganache (salt flakes really made a difference in each bite) and cinnamon streusel. Raised doughnuts were a little dry, the chocolate doughnut seemed the most tender with a more pleasant texture. I last tried for the first time in August 2023 and remember the fun flavors including passionfruit.

I'm excited for this new business! I was fortunate to have met one of the people behind this business years ago at a speaking engagement. Recently, she shared with me that they were launching this business so I was excited to support during their first week of delivery.I'm definitely not someone that would trust myself to order a half a dozen donuts at any point in time for myself. Not only is my sweet tooth quickly satisfied, but I would hate to waste any donuts. So I waited until a day that I knew I'd be able to share my donuts with others.On their website, you can currently order either by the half dozen or a dozen, seasonal or classics. The Classic flavors include: Earl Grey Sugared with Lavender and Orange, Buttermilk Glaze, Cookies & Cream, Chocolate Glaze, Coffee Glaze and Cinnamon Streusel. The Seasonal flavors (for now) include: Lemon Meringue, Blueberry Cheesecake, Banana Cream, PB&J, Buttermilk Glaze and Earl Grey Sugared with Lavender and Orange.I ordered online the day before for delivery at 10am before I would be visiting family. Online ordering was a breeze, but be mindful that the delivery charges definitely add up quickly. But my donuts were delivered fresh, on-time, packaged nicely and the donuts were delicious. Of the flavors I sampled, I think th Cookies & Cream (with cream cheese icing) was my favorite. Overall, the donuts are fresh, fluffy and sweet...but not too sweet which is a balance that I personally love. Excited to watch this business really take off! Congrats on the launch!

It was a love for travel that inspired a husband-wife team to start a local doughnut shop out of Ivy City's Union Kitchen, a food incubator. Thursday through Sunday at 9 a.m. until they sell out, the team creates ten different kinds of small-batch doughnuts from buttermilk glazed to cookies and cream.The doughnuts themselves are perfect texture- never dry and always doughy in the right way. My favorite was the Earl Grey Sugared with Lavender and Orange. The taste is powerful without being overpowering. To order, customers go to Union Kitchen. Street parking is easy to find nearby in the mornings.

I found out about Handcraft Doughnuts on popville and surprised to find this new establishment in the northeast quadrant of the city. Had to give it a try since their website and info made it seem like this would be the best doughnut I would ever have.Went to pick it up at Union Kitchen which was a seamless process. The location for pick-up is really on Fenwick Street NE, making it easy to park on the street and grab your doughnuts. The owner Ike came out to hand-deliver the tasty treats.Once they were brought home, we devoured the half dozen classics like vultures. They were actually too beautiful to eat and you could tell everything was made with the highest quality of detail and ingredients.If you're a donut aficionado, you'd want to try this treat!

The best doughnuts in DC. Well worth the cost of you care about texture, quality and ingredients of your doughnuts. Perfect balance between dough and icing/toppings. Delicious!!

Super friendly service! Good doughnuts, wish they offered coffee though but otherwise a good experience.
