“"Dunkin' Redemption: From Dismal to Delightful at Walk Hill!"I never thought I'd be typing a review for a Dunkin' Donuts, especially after the Walk Hill location nearly turned me into a coffee hermit. But hold onto your doughnut, folks, because this Dunkin' has risen from the depths of mediocrity like a well-caffeinated phoenix!I've had more bad experiences at various Dunkin' locations than I've had awkward conversations with Siri. The Walk Hill store, in particular, was like a vortex of coffee chaos. I avoided it like I avoid Monday mornings - with extreme determination.But, surprise, surprise! This Dunkin' Donuts has undergone a magical transformation. It's like they hired coffee wizards or Jedi baristas or something. The lines move faster than a sugar rush, and I've seen lines longer than the plot twists in a telenovela vanish like my self-control in front of a box of Munchkins.I've ventured into this caffeinated haven about five times now, and each experience has been more pleasant than finding an extra munchkin at the bottom of the bag. The staff is friendlier than a golden retriever with a wagging tail, and the efficiency is smoother than the swirl on a perfectly poured iced coffee.Special shoutout to the managers - they're like the coffee gods overseeing their caffeine kingdom. They are friendly and accommodating, and they probably sprinkle a bit of magic dust in the coffee beans. Who knows?So here's to you, Dunkin' Donuts on American Legion - you've single-handedly restored my faith in the art of doughnut procurement and coffee consumption. May your lines move faast, your doughnuts stay fresh, and your coffee stay as hot as your baristas are cool. Keep it up, and consider me a Dunkin' convert once again. Good job, indeed!“
“I'm not sure why this place has such negative reviews. Every time I order I get exactly what I ordered & they are always considerate. If there's ever anything that needs to be substituted they ask what I would like. The staff is very nice.“
“Fun donut experience with creative flavors.Recently took a visit on a Sunday morning after getting a recommendation from my friends. Since Masshole changes their flavors weekly, I unfortunately didn’t see some of the ones that my friends have been raving about.The donuts, albeit slightly pricey given their size, were essentially like sized-up Munchkins with more adventurous flavors. The standout for me was the classic cinnamon, and the chocolate and strawberry glazed were also satisfying. However, the ones with a poppy seed donut base were a bit dense and dry. Not sure if I would return, but if you’re curious about trying unconventional donut flavors, Masshole Donuts might just hit the spot.Parking: Paid street parking along Broadway (Empty spots usually available)“
“Amazing service. They were very nice and polite and don't even get me started with the donuts. The donuts were AMAZING they were soft fluffy crisp but not to hard they were so soft and I couldn't wait to get home to eat them I had a tiny snack in the car overall 11/10 please come here.“
“This afternoon I decided to stop by Taiyaki NYC for a quick snack. They have two of this locations in Boston, one located in the seaport area and the other one located right in Harvard square. This store is very easy to access as it's right at the intersection of church street and Massachusetts avenue. I would recommend using the T and get off right at the Harvard square stop since parking is very limited in this area. As soon as you enter this shop you are greated by lovely and welcoming employees. The ambiance of this store is very nice and very nicely decorated. There's no seating so the majority of customers just stop to grab and go. They have a very good menu variety, as shown in the picture below not only they have regular mochi donuts, but they also have butter mochi donuts which are gluten free and whipped cream bombs. They also have a big variety of ice creams flavors with great topping and syrup choices. They also have cold drinks, sodas and hot drinks. They also offer a seasonal menu which special flavors like red velvet. Today I tried the vanilla cream bomb and the peach passion fruit soda. The cream bomb was really big and the filling was plenty. It tasted very good and not too sweet. You could taste that the dough was freshly made. The soda was also delicious. Everything was lovely and I had a great experience. I recommend this place to everyone that happens to be around the area.“
“What an adorable place! It's decorated so cute, definitely a place to sit (plenty of seating) and enjoy something sweet. There's tons of international snacks to choose from in addition of ordering from the counter for ice cream, donuts and a ton of different drink options. Ordered 2 chocolate and a cinnamon mochi donut- buying more lowers the cost per donut. And a honey lemon green tea with Boba per their recommendation and it's sooo good! Super refreshing. It totaled $20.33, and was able to pay via Venmo. We will be back!“
“Amazing gluten free donut options! Never thought I’d ever have something on par with what I used to enjoy before having to go go gluten free…not only are their gf options delicious for gluten free, they’re some of the best donuts I’ve ever had. Thank you all for going out of your way to take care of your customers across dietary needs.Dietary restrictions: Gluten and dairy“
“So good! Nice range of flavors. We had a milk chocolate and a lemon poppyseed today after a free sample of cinnamon sugar. The waffles looked amazing - definitely have to try next time. Staff were so friendly and the space is cheerful and bright.“
“Stopped for a donut at 2am, and they had fresh donuts of all varieties! I had to buy 1/2 dozen. My family was happy to wake up to fresh donuts. I have loved these donuts since the 80'sParking: There are only about 8 spots on the propertyWheelchair accessibility: You can wheel in without obstruction“
“my fav donut spot in the area, decent location too with the different food places next to it and the market behind! i usually park in the lot and walk down a few mins to kimchipapi and get donuts before i leave! the donuts are the perfect amount of chewy and the icing adds a fun flavor :3 i love how they change most of the flavors every week! def recommend“
“Tried their California location prior and had a good time so I decided to checkout the one in Boston. It was defiantly good, not too spacious but good for the area. The staff was fine, nothing out of the ordinary. The donuts did taste fresh and were really delicious. The fruity pebble donut was my favorite along with the cheese only Korean corn dog!“
“Tip: Not ideal for getting large orders.Vibrant spot and great for a quick sweet bite while perusing about.I've had much better Mochi donuts, but none as pricey. Nothing justifies the $4.75/donut; basic taste with minimal creativity. Don't spend 54.78 for a dozen donuts like I did, when there are much better options in the area.“
“I have been going to this place for 3or4 years met the husband and wife, very pleasant friend and kind people. They greet you with a hello every time, they donuts are fresh every time I know that for a fact because I was shown the back of the store of the bakery.their breakfast are also fresh.“
“The food was good. I took an Uber to get there and noticed that the train station was right around the corner, so I didn't need to spend more money on Uber. The steak and cheese eggrolls were just that (steak and cheese, no other veggies). The French toast was good, and so were the homefries. The place was crowded when we first arrived at 2 pm. They also serve alcohol.“
“Mikes' Donut, a charming haven on 1524 Tremont St A, Boston, MA 02120, has been a neighborhood treasure for YEARS. The friendly and ever-smiling ladies behind the counter create an inviting atmosphere. The donuts? Always fresh. The coffee? Consistently warm. Locals, steadfast since day one, gather for morning coffees with newspapers in hand.My personal favorite? The egg and cheese on French toast bread – absolutely divine! Mike's Donut offers not just delightful treats but a timeless sense of community. Here's to many more years of joyous mornings at this beloved spot!“
“This tiny small store in Newton Centre serves up several variations of what is now my favorite dessert - mochi donuts. As I was never a big fan of (overly) sweet delights, I've never bothered to try them despite hearing about it until recently at an event. I was truly surprised as I didn't just take a bite BUT finished the whole thing in less than a minute (once again, a pretty big feat for someone who doesn't prefer sweet treats). It wasn't overly sweet like normal donuts and the texture is far more delightful and chewy as much as it was moist. The flavors were potent and quite addicting. I know I will now be visiting quite a bit as the price is also really decent for what you get.Wishing you the best for the rest of the year and an even better 2024! Cheers!“
“Good bagels, I'd love if they had pumpernickel also. They also don't have decaf espresso which is important to me. Basically always has seating which I love. I'd say they could update the art on the walls, get a unique local mural up.“
“This is my go to place for bubble tea, I love their atmosphere, service and the bubble tea is soo good! I'm here at least once a week, usually more often.Unfortunately, a few times here and there the boba are too big for the straw, which makes drinking the bubble tea more a fight than a pleasure. But most of the time everything is perfect.“
“The Mochinuts are always so delicious here. We always get the Ube, Black Sesame, and Matcha. Our favorite drinks are Hong Kong Milk Tea (30% sugar) with herbal jelly and boba Passionfruit green tea. A must go place!Kid-friendliness: There are tables inside for sitting. Nice music and respectful staff. My daughter is 10. she enjoys coming here.“
“Jeff is the best! First time in the area, and just needed a quick bite/iced coffee on a hot afternoon before seeing a show. Didn’t want to risk being late so when we saw this Dunkins as we walked towards the theater, we stopped in. Kids were indecisive but Jeff was patient with them, and just an overall joy to be around. When we travel, we look for dining we can’t experience at home but sometimes you are treated to a few minutes of friendly service at a regular chain and it makes your day! This will be our go-to when we return to the area. Thank you, Jeff!“
“Donut Villa Diner is small diner that I would give a 4.5 star.Food was good, standard, and served efficiently. Although I would have like to have some more flavor to the Egg Benedict I got,It was still good.Price was on par with breakfast style food in the area 8-18$ depending on what you got.Ice coffee was good.Service was nice, friendly and efficientSmall space though, only have counter space and small booths for 3-4 people max (2 if you are bigger)Very popular and busy on a sunday morning at 9:30a-10:30Wheelchair accessibility: Very tight space and two doors to enter through with tight radius. Unaware if another entrance.“
“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“
“Was visiting some friends in Boston and they took me to this must see food hall and we stopped at the classic, Union Square Donuts and when I tell you they're worth the hype and price. They aren't cheap but they have an infinite number of flavors and they're warm and fresh all the time! They are expensive and they're definitely not my favorite donuts ever, but if you're a sweets fanatic like me and you find yourself in Boston, definitely visit!“
“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).“
“I want to give the BIGGEST shoutout to Paige who is an AMAZING manager at Blackbird donuts. I wanted to buy donuts for my girlfriend after work so I called to order. I realized by the time I would get to the donut shop the donuts my girlfriend wants would most likely be gone. Paige was very kind, patient and offered different options for me to get these donuts for my girlfriend. She allowed me to order the donuts over the phone and have them reserved for me so when I get to the shop they would be packaged in a container waiting for me. My girlfriend was so excited to get these donuts and she wholeheartedly enjoyed them. Paige has honestly given me one of the best customer service experience ever. Thank you again to Paige and to Blackbird donuts for having awesome donuts and even better customer service. I'm going back!“
“amazing go-to no-frills reliable spot for the allston brighton area. good prices, the food is excellent. the breakfast combos in particular are amazing. some of the best corned beef hash I've had. the owners are always very friendly and i love to support them.“
“Blackbird Donuts is a true delight for the taste buds. Their donuts are not just tasty but an absolute treat. With a variety of flavors that captivate the palate, it's a go-to spot for those craving a delicious and satisfying donut experience. Highly recommend for anyone with a sweet tooth!“
“Tight little doughnut shop. Pretty giant doughnut. 2 doughnuts is around 9$ not too bad for a work.of edible art. Nice young folks behind the counter. Harvard square location is tiny be warned. Good spot MrJeff approved.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is. Ground floor, even threshold, good access.“
“The donuts are delicious and a good size. I've tried their steak sub and chicken fingers. Both are the best or one of the best I've had. A few menu items were not good. The tiny pancakes and square potatoes. They have good specials, but one time, the portion got a lot smaller. Overall, it is a good place to eat.“
“This place is always on top of the mind when we want to dig into donuts, coffee, and good chat. They keep the flavors changing every day (which is cool) - have tried Cinnamon-sugar, Berry-glazed, and Pumpkin Spice so far - great great! Can be so wonderful to have more than just 2 varieties a day!!!“
“my fav donut spot in the area, decent location too with the different food places next to it and the market behind! i usually park in the lot and walk down a few mins to kimchipapi and get donuts before i leave! the donuts are the perfect amount of chewy and the icing adds a fun flavor :3 i love how they change most of the flavors every week! def recommend“
“The difference between this place and Dunkin is that Country Kitchen will put a smile on your face when you eat their food. The prices are super reasonable too. Donuts are great, other baked goods pretty solid. They recently added breakfast sandwiches and I think a photo speaks for itself. You aren't getting that at Dunkin.Plenty of traditional coffee offerings as well as iced flavors and cold brew options. Only thing that could kick it up a notch is some espresso drink offerings but even though they don't have it, I don't bother with any other food options, the food is that good. Ordering ahead or on the phone may be a nice option but they're generally faster than the Dunkin drive through next door anyway. Give this place a try.“
“We drove out from Worcester to get a pie for my sister in law for her birthday. We had never been there, but we wanted something special because she's been battling cancer for 15 years and she's so special. We bought the chocolate cream pie and she said it was the best chocolate cream pie she had ever had. Thanks for making her day delicious.“
“Definitely an old school kinda place! Really great yeast and cake style donuts. super light and moist. These are properly hydrated baked goods without excessive additional flour during preparation. Breakfast sandwiches were delicious too. One of my fav breakfast spots “
“If there were such a thing as a doughnut monster, I'd be him. I love sweetbreads. So this place caught my eye. I'm usually piqued by fruit type pastries. However, the hired help suggested the Boston Creme Bismarck. With deep chocolate icing and homemade raise dough, the treat was satiating and tasty to beat the band. Usually the custard fillsof these are synthetical smooth. But I noticed a more natural taste and texture. At $5.00 a pop, I'm not gone get calorically greedy.“
“I love river street grills food but I was disappointed when I called in an order for a chicken stir fry wrap and got 2 chicken stir fry subs... I'm like what happened? We ate them anyway it was very good.Vegetarian options: Onions, peppers carrots mushrooms lettuce tomato pickles etc noParking: It's one level has parking in the back of the shopWheelchair accessibility: Someone will assist you inside, their are no stairs it's one level“
“Expensive doughnuts that are good, but I dont think are worth the hype. I definitely think its worth going in to try and donut or two. For donuts theres a few directions you can go - you can be simple, you can be tasty, you can be creative, or you can be all three. Blackbird donuts are creative, But they sacrifice taste.“
“Fantastic local alternative to the chains. Note that they have been able to take card payment for some time now, but I always like to bring cash here, knowing it is a small business.The donuts are all very good. Higher quality than the cheap stuff at Dunkin’. They do run out early, as they open at 5am most days and the early crowd definitely scoops them up before the work day. I also love to get a sausage, egg, & cheese on an English muffin. Additionally, they have good New England Coffee and are all in on the unique/sweet coffee drinks that you might get at Dunkin’ - they have unique flavors, and often mix things up by getting interesting new blends (for example, today I had a “coffee cake” unsweetened blend).The service is friendly - I’ve only ever interacted with three folks behind the counter, and I think that’s all of them - fairly small operation. Restaurant itself hasn’t changed on the inside for decades. Could at least use a little TLC on their speaker system (music tends to cut out every few seconds), but other than that it has exactly the right local charm. Figures, since on any given day at any given time you’re guaranteed to find locals sitting at the bar and having a chat.Demet’s is the best. You should stop by.“
“I like to try a donut place’s plain glazed donut and kind of use that as a yardstick, and Blackbird’s is great—simple, sweet but not overpowering, great texture.Plus they have a lot of different flavors—a really creative and interesting variety. Give the everything bagel donut a try!!!“
“It really is the original storefront for what used to be called "Dunkin Donuts"... Most recently the brand has recast and refitted as "Dunkin".... Consistently good products.... The hot chocolate is really the Best of the fast food versions, consistency better than the barista hand made offerings from others including those from Starbucks....And try an old fashioned jelly donut.... Use your pocket knife to scrape off the powdered sugar that it's been tossed in at the end of its Make-the-Donuts process.....“
“I stopped by the gas station with my husband to buy a bottle of water and we saw a cafe inside selling Latin food, so we decided to have a little snack there. We were skeptical because of the location but we were surprised the food was delicious! We ordered a horchata(drink), an empanada and a pork pupusa. My husband really liked the empanada and I liked the pupusa but we both agreed that the horchata was too good. The prices are great, the store in general is clean and they are friendly. They also sell tacos, burritos, and shakes. I highly recommend this place.“
“This location is awesome because first of all there is plenty of parking. But the two girls that work here. They are both really really really nice. I started coming here because it’s easy to park and the people that work there are really nice and obviously the donuts are absolutely incredible. There’s no other taste like union Square. Donuts And thank you to the two girls that work there I don’t know your names, but I’m gonna have to introduce myself next time because you’re both extremely kind and I come back because when people are nice. You tend to become regular customers! So much about being a regular customer is about the people who work at these establishments. Being kind and being courteous, and always smiling. Not an easy thing to do but these two do a great job and they make you want to come back. We need more love in this world. This is what donuts has turned me into. Lol. I just stopped in again this morning and I got the maple bacon doughnut that was incredibly tasty. The two ladies that work at the branch at the assembly Square mall in Somerville Massachusetts. They are really really nice and very knowledgeable. Super kind and always smiling !CheersPraveen“
“The best one! I grab a quick breakfast/lunch on days when I have no time (which is more days than I want to admit). My 4 year old also likes it when we grab a donut here. If I take her to a sit down place for dinner, she will say that she wished we were going to Dunkin Donuts. Everything is quickly, and the employees always tell me hello and wish me a good day! I'm not a coffee drinker, but there's plenty here for me to choose from.“
“Literally the best Dunkin’ I have EVER visited. The team works like a well oiled machine, my coffee was done before I could even walk to the end of the counter. Great coffee. Went there every morning my week in Boston and my coffee was excellent every single time. Well done“
“Our experience with Chef Noire Boston was outstanding!Starting with being an amazing human in general, she was a top-tier professional and executed our collaboration flawlessly but made it so fun to be a part of. When she said "full-service" that was an understatement. She arrived with her team promptly, more than prepared and accommodated the unique and flexible needs of our event as it evolved and that's even before I've even talk about the food-- a grazing table so beautifully presented that no one wanted to even touch it, let alone eat it and then once they did eat it they couldn't stop. We even had guests asking for "bigger plates" so they could enjoy more of her delicious food. The food was so thoughtfully curated and, in every bite, you could tell Chef prepares every dish and element of her menu from a place of love. I mean, the food was so good!I could go on but I'll simply leave this review with gratitude for Chef Noire Boston, her team and extraordinary talent and a 10/10-- highly recommend. We'll definitely be using Chef again (hopefully soon :))- Victoria Strickland and the lululemon Newbury Experiential team“
“I work in the area and this is the only Dunkin I feel comfortable placing an Uber Eats order for... OOL. My usual order (cold brew with 3x cream and 3x butter pecan swirl) really hit the spot here. Definitely tastes better than a lot of Dunks I've tried, and I'm not big into buying my coffee outside...“
“I absolutely love spending my Sunday brunches at Donut Villa in Arlington, all locations have been great but this is my most visited. All the servers are caring, attentive and happy, it’s family friendly and great for everyone. I’d recommend this spot to anyone who asked “
“The place serves good but average donuts, the best donuts in my experience is the Boston kreme at 1.58$ and a coffee roll which the best value for its size at 2$ for 50% bigger donuts and a lot of flavour, keep an eye out for suspicious people as a druggie came in once and harassed a kid“
“My sister and I just happened to stop here because we were hungry the customer service was excellent there's a young lady that works there I believe her name is Chantel great customer service skills explain to us the different items that we were not familiar with she was a gym never got that kind of service in a Dunkin' donuts and we live in Boston“
“Completely remodeled, aside from the incredible new modern look, the food is still as incredible as it was 30 years ago and so is the coffee. Most importantly the service is great and that's what keeps a company in business. Definite two thumbs up!!!!!“
