Full description
We’ll start on Bedford Avenue with our first delicious donuts of the day. Known for bold flavors and creative takes on the classics, this opening stop is the perfect introduction to Brooklyn’s impressive donut scene. From here, we’ll explore Williamsburg on foot, where old-school Brooklyn meets trendy restaurants, independent shops, street art, and a constantly changing neighborhood landscape.
Our second stop is just a short walk away, where we’ll enjoy another sweet treat before continuing through Williamsburg. As we walk, your guide will share stories about the neighborhood’s transformation from an industrial and working-class community into one of Brooklyn’s most recognizable cultural destinations. Keep an eye out for colorful murals, classic architecture, and reminders of the many communities that have called this area home.
From Williamsburg, we’ll continue north toward Greenpoint, another neighborhood known for its strong local identity and incredible food scene. At our third stop, we’ll dig into more delicious donuts and discover yet another approach to this seemingly simple treat. Each stop offers something different, so there’s always another flavor or style to look forward to.
Our final stretch takes us deeper into Greenpoint, a neighborhood with deep Polish roots, beautiful residential streets, independent businesses, and a character all its own. We’ll finish at a classic Brooklyn donut destination that feels like a step back in time. Here, we’ll enjoy our final donuts while celebrating the traditional side of New York’s donut culture.
Come hungry and ready to explore. This family-friendly walking tour combines some of Brooklyn’s best donuts with Williamsburg and Greenpoint history, neighborhood sights, local culture, and plenty of fun along the way.

Reviews
The tour was quite long and it was difficult to keep the kids engaged. The donut store was the best stop where we got to choose a donut. At the rest of the stops the food items were pre ordered and we didn’t get a choice which was a bit disappointing. I was also unhappy that the tour ended at a different location to the starting point - we were handed a map and had to find our own way back. Having never been to Cork before, this wasn’t particularly easy and we had to run to catch our train back to Cobh.
It was a pleasant tour our guides new the area very well
Kat was a great guide. The donuts were delicious and she also included a lot of history of Toronto. The walk was an easy pace and gave us time to prepare for the next round. She provided us with other places to taste Toronto food and there was time to grab some of that food too. We loved the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Toronto!
