Brooklyn-based donut shop Dough Doughnuts is now expanding to Downtown Brooklyn.

Beginning on Sept. 22 Dough will be joining Time Out Market, a 21,000-square-foot waterfront food market that is home to over 20 different eateries. 

“We are thrilled to join Time Out Market New York – it’s a place people visit to get a real taste of the city so it’s a perfect spot for us and our doughnuts which you get to enjoy all day long,” Steve Klein, co-owner of Dough Doughnuts, said in a statement.

To celebrate their new 55 Water Street location, Dough will have a limited release of a new exclusive flavor, the Brooklyn Blackout: a chocolate brioche doughnut filled with chocolate pudding, topped with semisweet chocolate glaze and sprinkled with chocolate cake crumbs. The new DUMBO location will also feature Bonjourno Artisanal Coffee, a roasted coffee from Western Europe, to get your caffeine fix.

Dough will also be giving out a free t-shirt or cofee mug with a purchase of sixdoughnuts.
