This is the quintessential old school donut shop experience. Ma's donuts was the donut shop of my childhood. I left the area a long time ago, and on a trip up with my family I was crushed to hear they had closed several years ago. However on this trip we were delighted to hear that the family of the original owners had reopened with a new name. With great anticipation, my daughter and wife got up early and got some donuts. I am here to say that the new owners have successfully duplicated their grandparents recipe, even if someone stole the name. So if you are a donut lover these are well worth any drive to get your donut. Just get there early because they sell out fast. Well done. I will definitely be back.

I visit GrandMa's donuts with my friend every Sunday morning after the clubs let out. The service is always the greatest with their bright friendly staff, great food, and good convo and laughs. I totally recommend the bee sting sandwich and any coffee flavored with honey butter. ?

Parking: They have a parking lot on the side of the building but if that's full you can park on Acushnet Ave or one of the side streets.

Kid-friendliness: I haven't had the chance to bring my kids over there yet but I have no doubts that this is a kid friendly place.

Wheelchair accessibility: The front door has no steps so it's easier to enter the building with wheelchairs.

Please correct your website so the title of your shop says FORMERLY Ma's Donuts (not "formally"); the two words are completely different. Thanks! :)
Otherwise, these are still the best donuts EVER in the Southeastern MA area! They're every bit as delicious as when they operated successfully for many years as Ma's Donuts.

Tired of going to this place and they don't have donuts. My husband was there at 8AM and they had already run out of donuts, not getting up at 4AM to be there for donuts they should anticipate what they need.

Timeless classic. Deff the best donut i had in my life. You can’t be the atmosphere it’s like walking into a Time Machine.

Friendly older lady at donut case. The younger woman at register was not pleasant (I guess I interrupted her donut making) when I requested the CC receipt. That should be a given.

Parking: Just did.

Great donuts ?. Actually the best on the South Coast.
Only improvement would be to speed up the service line when people order complicated to make coffee drinks/shakes or what ever . Slows the whole line down .
2 drinks added at least 8 min to the line for the two girls in front of us . As we had already waited 15 min .
Worth the drive going here hands down !!

We love (Grand)Ma’s!! Staff is always super helpful and welcoming. Plenty of street parking if the lot is full. And, of course, the doughnuts are just absolutely unreal! Can’t help but to call in a few dozen for the family- and they always disappear so fast.
