At this 24-hour Sheepshead Bay fixture, impossibly light donuts emerge from the fryer at just $1 apiece, a throwback price that matches the vintage neon sign and worn countertops unchanged since Shaikh Kalam took over in 1994. The shop—known interchangeably as Shaikh's Place or Donut Shoppe—has drawn acclaim from The New York Times and Eater for preserving old-school Brooklyn donut craft while expanding into tacos and breakfast plates. Step inside after midnight and watch the donuts come fresh from the oil, still warm and worth every penny of that single dollar.
