This post represents part two of my quest to find the best donuts in the Boston area. Last week I shared my visit to Union Square Donuts, a spot that was recently named "Best Donut in Boston" and received two thumbs up from me as well. This week I am even more excited to share my visit to Kane's Donuts. Kane's Donuts is located in Saugus, a few miles north of Boston. Their donuts are world famous. In 2010, Bon Appetit included Kane's Donut in their top ten list- just to name one of the many acknowledgments they have received.
Donuts cost $1.50 each, which is incredibly reasonable given the size of their old-fashioned style donuts. But I was most impressed by the selection of flavors available in store. Before we drove to Kane's Donuts, I checked out their website and found a number of flavors worthy ordering. When we got to the store, there were even more flavors than those listed on the website. I had such a hard time picking out which ones to sample!
First up was this M&M donut- a plain vanilla donut topped with vanilla glaze and mini M&M's. You can't go wrong with this one.
Right now I am all about fall flavors so i had to try the maple frosted donut. I loved the creamy maple frosting on this one.
Creme brûlée donut. Enough said. This was one of the most unique flavors on the menu and I really enjoyed this one.
The apple cider donut was my favorite donut of the day. Perfectly sweet and delicious, the apple cider donut is one of their seasonal fall flavors and is only available for a limited time. A must-try for sure.
Oh my goodness, this peanut butter cup donut is one of the craziest donuts I have ever seen. But crazy in a good way. Peanut butter and chocolate is always a good combination.
The donuts at Kane's Donuts are some of the best I have ever tried. You can't go wrong with any of the flavors, but I highly recommend the apple cider donut and the pumpkin donut if you visit during the fall.
Kane's Donuts opens at 3:30 am. Who knew that there was a market for donuts at that time of night? If you want to check them out, you can find more information here:

ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous! We don't have any good doughnut bakeries around me here in CT so I'm living vicariously through you. I want these doughnuts...especially that M&M one. :)
