The Brooklyn Blackout Donut is a chocolate-heavy showstopper at Everglazed, combining glaze, chips, buttercream, and crunch in one dessert at Disney Springs.

If you’re a chocolate lover visiting Walt Disney World, one of the most indulgent treats you can find at Disney Springs lives at Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew — the Brooklyn Blackout Donut. This over-the-top creation is the kind of dessert that stops visitors in their tracks and begs to be photographed before it even hits your mouth. Still, beyond the Instagram appeal, how does it taste? Let’s take a deep dive.

First Impressions — So Much Chocolate

From the moment you set eyes on the Brooklyn Blackout, it’s abundantly clear this isn’t your average donut. Built on a rich chocolate base, this donut starts with a classic yeast donut that’s been dipped in a glossy chocolate glaze, a bold and inviting first layer that promises sweetness. On top of that, it’s generously coated with mini chocolate chips, crowned with a swirl of chocolate buttercream, and finished with chocolate wafer cookies that add both crunch and a visually dramatic flair.

The visual impact alone is worth the stop: a tall, nearly towering donut, studded with dark chocolate textures and hues that make it look like a dessert version of a skyscraper. However, let’s be honest: at Disney Springs, where food presentation often matches the grandeur of the nearby parks, this donut fits right in.

Brooklyn Blackout Donut Flavor Profile — Rich, Deep, and Intensely Chocolatey

With every bite, the Brooklyn Blackout delivers exactly what its name promises: a chocolate blackout. The flavor leans deeply into the dark, intense side of chocolate rather than a milky sweetness. The glaze itself has a bold cocoa presence, and the chocolate chips add a slightly bitter snap against the sweet buttercream dollop.

The buttercream on top provides a not-too-sugary taste while still being lush and creamy. This helps balance the dense chocolate flavors without feeling greasy or cloying. The wafer cookies aren’t just decorative; they bring a much-needed contrast in texture, breaking up the otherwise soft, fudgy experience with a satisfying crunch.

For anyone who lives for chocolate desserts, from brownies to chocolate layer cakes, this donut captures all of that in a hand-held indulgence. However, if you prefer lighter or fruitier pastries, brace yourself. Every component here is crafted for maximum chocolate satisfaction.

Texture & Construction — A Balanced Mess

One of the things that sets Everglazed’s Brooklyn Blackout apart from more traditional donuts is how it uses texture to elevate the experience:

• Yeast donut base: airy and soft, providing a slightly sweet and pillowy foundation.
• Chocolate glaze: smooth and almost glossy with a rich coating that clings to the donut.
• Mini chocolate chips: tiny bursts of extra chocolate that add subtle crunchy resistance.
• Buttercream: creamy and rich, but not overwhelming.
• Wafer cookies: crisp and crunchy — a smart finishing touch.

This combination keeps the donut from feeling flat or overly one-dimensional. The chocolate chips and wafer pieces especially help temper the all-chocolate theme with a welcome textural contrast.

Brooklyn Blackout Donut: Is It Worth Trying at Disney Springs?

Absolutely — but with caveats.

Yes, if you’re a serious chocolate fan looking for a dessert that’s both decadent and distinctive, the Brooklyn Blackout donut is a must-try at Everglazed. It’s also a standout option if you want a memorable sweet treat while exploring Disney Springs, something beyond the usual cupcakes and churros.

Consider ordering it to share! This is a rich item by design, and many visitors recommend splitting it with a friend or family member simply because it’s so chocolate-forward; one donut can easily feel like two in terms of intensity.

However, if you pair it with one of Everglazed’s chilled cold brews or specialty drinks, the experience becomes even more balanced. The coffee notes refreshingly cut through the chocolatiness. Regular cold brew, nitro variations, and chocolate-forward drinks are all great companions to this dessert, if you can handle chocolate overload.
