Finally had a chance to swing by close to opening. There were trays full of doughnuts this time. It was also surprisingly lively with locals despite the early hour, so I can see why the doughnuts sell out. There were some cutely decorated special doughnuts for Easter, but I stuck to my mission of trying the famous, classic honey dip doughnut. The price ($2.25) was the same as that of the marble cruller that I got last time even though there is less doughnut, so I wish it were cheaper for the size. However, it was airy/fluffy and soft with a delicious glaze. The only thing I did not like was that I could slightly taste old oil with some bites. I think I prefer the slight crunchiness of the marble cruller last time more, but maybe the crunchiness is only unique to cake doughnuts.

The best coffee shop around. Fresh coffee, fresh scones, donuts and bagels. Great service with employees taking time to get you exactly what you want

Stopped by toward closing even though I would have preferred my first time to be in the morning when the doughnuts would be the freshest. As expected, the majority of the doughnuts were gone by this time. I decided on the marble cruller, which was $2.25, despite the lower price listed on the menu (however, this is still cheaper than doughnuts at "fancier" places, so it's okay). The person working there was friendly.I heated up the doughnut before eating, and it tasted very good. I believe this is a cake doughnut, so the inside was denser. I loved that there was a slight crunchiness. The glaze on the outside was definitely sweet, but the inside was not, so it was a satisfying but not overwhelming dessert. I'll definitely have to swing by at opening to try the doughnuts fresh sometime (I actually love that they open at 4:30 AM because it is so rare to find a place that opens that early. The fact that they close much later than other bakeries/cafes despite being open so early is also pretty amazing).

Food and service are excellent here…but my god do they need to clean. Ceiling tiles, vents all covered in dust. Unfortunate since everything else about the place is 5 stars - but they really need to address the dust

Donuts were dry with hardly any glaze on them. Woman at counter was very rude. Won’t be back for sure.

Hit or miss. One day the donuts are amazing, the next day they’re mediocre. Inventory also runs out to quickly. They’d rather run out of donuts than give a few away.

It's all about the donuts. While the world knows Dunkin it's hard to compare them to the real thing at Donut King. Works of art not not mass market manufactured . Did yourself a favor and try donuts as they really should be it's worth the trip

The best doughnuts I've ever had in my 53 years on this planet.
Great fresh made donuts and good people behind the counter and always fresh coffee brewing
The best donuts on the South Shore. Have to get the honey dipped
Good service buy they only take cash.
We stopped on our way to see a New Kids show! Very hospitable woman, donuts were PERFECT before and after concert food! Very cake-ish and delish!
