Even with a shortened work week, we could all use a sweet pick-me-up, and our favorite way to get a sugary jolt is, ideally, with a free treat. Conveniently, the dough-punching folks over at Dough Doughnuts—one of the best doughnut shops in New York, known for its fluffy brioche-based doughnuts and fun artisanal flavors—are offering mini versions of their beloved desserts this week and, best of all, they're free.

Yes, to celebrate the extended hours at the bakery chain's Flatiron location (14 W 19th St at Fifth Avenue), Dough will be doling out free mini doughnuts from 7 pm to 8 pm through Thursday, May 29. "We're staying open later—and celebrating with free flavor tasting!" announced the brand. "Come by during our new extended hours and discover your next favorite doughnut."
The scaled-down, small-batch rounds—which, knowing Dough, are still far heftier than your usual munchkin—come in varying flavors each day, so you can come back a different day and enjoy an entirely new dough sensation. (Recent Dough flavors include Raspberry White Chocolate, Mango Coconut, and sweet and tangy Hibiscus.) Along with the free mini doughnuts, the Flatiron outpost will also be selling their regular-sized doughnuts as a two-for-one-deal from 7pm to 8pm through May 29. Consider it an extra-sweet happy hour!
The new hours of operation at Dough Flatiron are 8am to 8pm on Mondays through Fridays, and 9am to 8pm on Saturdays and Sundays, or until the doughnuts are sold out.
Dough's mini doughnut giveaway nicely ushers sweet tooths into June, during which you can celebrate National Doughnut Day next Friday, June 6. As has become annual tradition, big-name doughnut chains like Krispy Kreme, Dunkin' Donuts and Tim Hortons will offer free doughnuts or discounted treats; beloved local shops like Doughnut Plant are also expected to participate. Stay tuned!
