Fan-Fan Doughnuts is a Bedford-Stuyvesant doughnut shop from Fany Gerson, the chef behind Dough and La Newyorkina, known for its namesake "fan fan" — a long, eclair-shaped filled doughnut — alongside a rotating lineup of creative flavors like guava and cheese. The small-batch, limited-hours model (it's only open Wednesday through Sunday) concentrates demand into fewer days than a typical bakery.
Reviewers describe a line forming outside the shop, especially in the mornings, since popular flavors can sell out. There's no reservation system since it's a walk-up counter, so the practical guidance from reviews is to arrive close to the 9am opening and to expect weekends to be busier than weekdays if you want to avoid a wait.

Reviewers and local coverage describe a line forming outside the Bed-Stuy shop, especially in the mornings, so it's worth budgeting extra time, particularly on weekends. (No live damnlines camera here yet — this is reported guidance, not a live count.)
Reported hours are Wednesday through Sunday, roughly 9am to 4pm, with the shop closed Monday and Tuesday. Bakery hours can shift with supply, so it's worth confirming before you go.
No. It's a walk-up bakery counter rather than a reservation-based restaurant, so the only way to get doughnuts is to queue in person.
