The doughnut shop, which closed its Bed-Stuy outpost last year, will open in the former Joyce Bakeshop space on Vanderbilt, Eater reports.
PROSPECT HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — A popular doughnut shop is making its Brooklyn return with an outpost in Prospect Heights, according to Eater.
Dough Doughnuts co-owner Steve Klein told the outlet this week that he plans to open a new location at 646 Vanderbilt Ave., where Joyce Bakeshop stood until it closed last year.
The new shop will be the first in Brooklyn for Dough Doughnuts since its Bed-Stuy location closed last year. It is expected to open this spring, according to Dough's website.
