Go ahead, zoom-in if you wanna. On the corner of Lafayette and Franklin Avenues, you’ll be happy to find Fan-Fan Doughnuts. This familiar neighborhood spot is known for delicious handmade doughnuts and worldly, wide-ranging flavors. Chef and Founder of Fan-Fan Doughnuts, Fany Gerson, spoke about the mission, attention to detail and the classic shop’s first-ever chocolate doughnut festival by sharing the following…
“Fan-Fan is dedicated to making great doughnuts, making people happy, and bringing people together. We celebrate diversity and are inspired by the flavors and traditions from around the globe.
We take a lot of care and pride in what we do. We make our doughnuts in small batches throughout the day so you will always have the freshest and often warm one! At the end of the day, we strive to create a loving community and bring joy to the world. The sense of community in the neighborhood and Brooklyn in general is very strong and one of the reasons I love it so much. Brooklyn has a rich history and also continuous movement at the same time. It’s interesting, vibrant and has great energy.
Last year I created our first chocolate doughnut festival and it was a 3-day chocolate fest! The theme was ‘Around the World’ as I felt people were homesick (I certainly was) and also longing to travel, to experience things and needed joy! The names and flavors of the doughnuts represented countries all over the globe and it was just so beautiful to hear people calling out the different name .. I’ll have “a South Africa, India, Mexico, Japan, Iran”.. etc… there was one moment where I stopped to take it all in. We had a huge line around the block and I looked up to smiles and kept hearing the names. It was beautiful. We are getting ready for our second chocolate festival, which will be in May. It will be a different theme, but we are sooo excited and cannot wait to share with the world!
We look forward to welcoming you soon! Also, please support small businesses.” #SupportBrooklyn
Not everything that looks like a doughnut is a doughnut. Hot and crispy Thai prawn cakes, skewered on a stick of lemongrass, waiting to be eaten with sweet chili sauce #prawn #fritters #shrimp #thaifood #crispy #doughnuts #thaikitchen
Doughnut about chew, but I love birthdays! With spring comes much celebrating! April and May are like second Christmas around these parts, with Easter thrown into the mix too. My tiny humans celebrate their birthdays within a week of one another, and my birthday a couple of weeks before that. With all the snow almost melted, my heinous cold gone, and copious amounts of birthday vibage, not even a Monday could take this bitch down. Hope you lovely humans are having a beautiful, and productive Monday too! #donuts #doughnutaficianado #doughnuts #pinos #unicornfood #myunicornlife #abmlifeisbeautiful #abmlifeiscolorful #sweetnessfueled #awwsamsweettooth #incolourfulcompany #thesoo #sweettooth #yummy #dessert #foodporn #sugarhero #birthdaygirl #birthday #springtime #rainbowfood #rainbowcake #sprinklesontop

Whenever I visit a new city, I try to eat at as many local donut shops possible. This donut did not disappoint #thegingersnapeatsanddrinks #thegingersnaptravels • • • #welltravelled #traveldeeper #dametravelerfoodie #mytinyatlas #passionpassport #willjourney #doyoutravel #traveldiary #abmtravelbug #openmyworld #wheretofindme #iamatraveler #theglobewanderer #alwayssf #nowrongwaysf #bayarea #sanfrancisco #sf #donuts #doughnuts #droolclub #buzzfeast #letseat #fooddiary #eeeeeats #onthetable #coffeeanddonuts (at Dynamo Donut & Coffee)
Besides @hotsauceandpanko_togo, this was the coolest thing I ate on our trip. The “sweet deal” at @sweetbellyoakland let’s you choose an ice cream flavor, topping, donut, and drizzle all for $5.50. Sounds like a sweet deal to me! For those wondering-I did coffee ice cream, fruity pebbles, matcha donut, and Nutella drizzle. (Thanks @nicolemhaynes23 for the recommendation!) #thegingersnapeatsanddrinks #thegingersnaptravels • • • #droolclub #buzzfeast #foodgawker #huffposttaste #letseat #fooddiary #eeeeeats #beautifulcuisines #icecream #oaklandca #oakland #visitoakland #donuts #doughnuts #welltravelled #traveldeeper #girlswhotravel #dametravelerfoodie #mytinyatlas #passionpassport #willjourney #doyoutravel #traveldiary #abmtravelbug #openmyworld #wheretofindme #iamatraveler (at Sweet Belly)
