ATHLEISURE LIST | BEAR DONUT

We like knowing where we need to go for a pick me up and Bear Donut is one of those spots! A family business that opened in April 2022, Suhum Jang (owner of Michelin starred Hortus NYC) and Honey Kim founder of ARTIPS have grown up loving donuts. They wanted to create a shop that they believe created good donuts!

At the time when they were thinking about opening a donut shop, mochi donuts (donuts made with sweet rice flour) started to get popular in the US. However, the available flavors were all similar and mostly Asia-inspired. They wanted to create a new style by combining classic American donuts and mochi donuts with South Korean flair.

When you swing by, note that they make their donuts twice a day at 10am and 2pm to ensure their freshness.

We suggest that you should try their Coffee Toffee Glazed Donut, Pink Chocolate Glazed Donut and Dirty Choco Brioche Cream Filled Donut. Their full menu is filled with a number of options and their creative and pastry team work together to create new flavors and donut assortments. Offerings change season by season.

Bear Donut has savory options, including cheddar. They wanted to create a donut flavor that is unexpected, but still familiar to people which is what makes this a perfect ingredient. The sugar and cheddar powder makes a great sweet and savory combination.

In addition to their donuts, they also have signature drinks as well. We suggest: Specialty Iced Coffee in Dirty Matcha flavor (latte, milk soft serve, house-made matcha flavor), Specialty Iced Coffee in Mocha flavor (latte, milk soft serve, house-made chocolate flavor) and Bear Iced Coffee (cold brew with milk soft serve). They even have draft milk which is a flavored milk that is finished with milk foam.

An interesting ingredient that you will find in their donuts as well as their drinks is cheddar.
