After more than a year, Dough returns to Brooklyn
Beloved doughnut shop shut down its Bed-Stuy location when co-founder Fany Gerson split and opened Fan-Fan there
Dough Doughnuts is coming back to Brooklyn.
The nationally renowned doughnut shop, known for its large and yeasty cloud-like confections, is making its return with an outpost in Prospect Heights, co-owner Steve Klein told Eater.
The new location will be at 646 Vanderbilt Ave. some time this spring, where Joyce Bakeshop stood until it closed last year, making it the first in Brooklyn for Dough Doughnuts since its Bed-Stuy location closed last year.
In February 202o Klein’s partner and Dough co-founder Fany Gerson severed ties after nearly a decade to open Fan-Fan Doughnuts and focus on her Mexican paleta and ice cream parlor La Newyorkina in Greenwich Village. The original location for Fan-Fan was to be in Clinton Hill, but the space proved too large for the new pandemic reality, so Fan-Fan opened in Dough’s former Bed-Stuy space.
Dough, which launched a well-received line of vegan doughnuts earlier this year, has made its way through the year through its Flatiron location and delivery service on Goldbelly. Two of its other Manhattan locations remain closed, though Klein tells Eater that Dough has plans to open outposts in Astoria in five weeks and at Rockefeller Center later this summer.
