Great staff great selection good coffee prices. Definitely a place worth visiting. If you are near. We were a little late in the day, but they kept baking and bringing up more donuts while we were thereKid-friendliness: Staff were very patient with my children while trying to order

This place is an absolute JOKE. First things first, the donuts aren’t all that great. They’re decent but only because they’re cheap but definitely not to die for.Secondly, why open your business when you dont even have donuts ready to serve? Its deceiving to customers to drive all the way there just to find out that a donut shop doesnt have donuts but are still somehow open ?I went in the morning on 2 separate occasions. I went this past Thursday around 7:45 and when I walked in, I was told donuts wont be ready till 8 in an extremely unfriendly manner by the blonde haired lady wearing glasses. I went back a few min later around 8:05 and yet also she told me they’re not ready and to come back later (again in an extremely unfriendly and condescending way)I thought whatever, maybe this is just an isolated occasion. But I went back again the next morning around 8 am and yet again. I was told to come back in 2 HOURS because the donuts wont be ready till 10 am ? CHANGE YOUR BUSINESS HOURS AND STOP DECEIVING CUSTOMERS AND WASTING THEIR TIME!!!!!Ive had these donuts once in the past before & they are not all that glamorous. Not worth it for the type of service that this joke of an establishment provides.STAY AWAY.

Great hometown donut place with a really good mix of cakey donuts like the chocolate frosted, and the yeasty donuts like the glazed and honey dip, which are more melty.Great stuff, staff is always nice, and donuts are better than most places at a fair price.Parking isn't terrible with lots of meter parking behind the buildingSolid donut shop

PHENOMENAL DONUTSThe best 'made on premise' donut shop I've been to since my childhood. 1/2 doz for $9+. Made all morning, usually something warm is available until 10AM. Best honey dipped.All of their glaze on raised dough are addictive. Cake donuts are crispy outside, generous glaze, soft most inside. Best seasonal- glazed pumpkin cake.I've also tried:Union Square - decent, unique options, raised dough isn't that traditional pillowy texture.Blackbird donuts - decent, unique options.Disappointments:Demets (2x and done) - Medford- 2.85 per donut! Per my most recent visit, the bavarian cream tasted bad, and the honey dipped had soggy grease/ sugared dough.Heavenly donuts (1x and done) - Wilmington - worst tasting- glazed cake donuts were dry crumbly, too light on the glaze.

I usually go for the coffee rolls. They have the best
This place is literally the best donut shop I have ever been to EVER!!! There donuts are way WAY better than Dunkin' Donuts!!!!!!!! They have friendly cashiers/servers, their prices are great, and they keep a clean shop!!! This place is so amazing that every time I come here there's always a line out the door!!! I highly recommend Donuts with a Difference if you're looking for a great local coffee and donut shop!!!

Seriously the best donuts ever! I’ve been on a journey to find the best donuts around boston and so far this has been the best! I don’t like the new brioche type donuts of union and the hipster stores. Dunkin’ is honestly a classic as much as people love to hate, I’ve had a fair amount of donuts that are worse than Dunkin. But donuts with a difference hits them all out of the ball park! It’s the perfect middle between a dunkin donut type not super yeasty but still soft donut and a krispy kreme super soft but also super yeasty (too yeasty for me in flavor) donut. All their flavors are good but my favorite is definitely the raised(their terminology for yeast donut) chocolate glazed with sprinkles. So so good, some places have horrible glaze (like honey dew) but donuts with a difference is just so good. It’s usually the perfect amount with the size of the donut. They just truly know how to make good freaking donuts. But definitely go in the morning 1. for fresh donuts (so good) but 2. cuz they sell out of their flavors quick. Oh and bring cash because there’s an extra charge for card! $17 for a dozen! I think $9 for 1/2 a dozen but I always get a dozen lol.Parking: There’s a 10min free parking area in an alley by the donut shop, next to a daycare. There’s also paid parking in the lot and on the street. Tbh if you’re just getting donuts to go there’s very rarely any meter checking in medford lol. But I like to park in the 10min free parking area because it’s close by and there’s usually a spot and it’s on my way out.

The BEST donuts. Krispy cream has nothing on these. Note, there is no Wi-Fi, but if you want to work offline or just hang out with some nice people while you wait for hot donuts... this place is a treat.Vegetarian options: Donuts and coffee. Lol
Oh my god. I just had their regular honey dip and it was like biting into a perfectly sweet cloud, and no oily/greasy aftertaste, you can taste the freshness! I think this is the best donut that I have ever had in the greater Boston area.
best donuts in boston area. lovely people, delicious donuts.
