This is quite simply the best donut place I’ve ever visited. And I have visited a lot. Their cake donuts are perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. Their raised donuts melt in your mouth. Donuts with a Difference doesn’t try to distract with wild combinations of toppings or dazzle with the newest donut-like creation. They consistently deliver superb-quality, classic donuts. Truly different from anywhere else.

Absolutely perfect donuts. Im honestly not a huge donut guy and grew up thinking i didnt really like them. When you try a small shop like this that changes everything.

The best old-fashioned donuts I’ve had in the GBA.
Stopped by a few times over the past weekends, and as the rumors suggested, there was always a morning line (clearly popular among the locals).
Their regular donuts? Solid, but about on par with other classic donut shops in the city. What really makes this place special is the old-fashioned. The first time I had their chocolate glazed old-fashioned, I was blown away by the texture—an ultra-thin, crispy outer layer giving way to a pillowy soft inside. Not too sweet, just perfect. Turns out, they take pride in keeping that signature crunch, so they glaze each donut right before putting it on display.
If you’re visiting around opening time, keep in mind that the full selection isn’t ready right away. The old-fashioneds are usually available, but the chocolate glazed and other flavors take 30-45 minutes to roll out. Worth the wait tho.

I love a good powdered donut and a good jelly donut and this place has the best for me. I love having freshly baked donuts through the day and love regularly popping by to try other flavours since their quality is always top notch. Can't stress enough how delicious these are!

Only place left in the country you can get donuts like this. Donut Villa in Malden was always a close second but with the change of management years back, they’re simply not what they used to be. Donuts with a difference needs to be a historically protected. Best donuts I’ve ever had
Fresh, tastes like a real donut, not the pre made Dunkin Garbo that we get now.

We arrived at just the right time. Now, all of the donuts were fresh and warm like they had just been prepared. All of them were delicious. We tried 10 different kinds.
Vegetarian options: We didn’t see any menu items that were not vegetarian

They offer arguably the best no frill donuts in the Boston Metro area. Nothing fancy but good.
