I needed donuts for a staff meeting and peeking into Yelp and sure enough Demet's was there. First off great counter staff -- she was a blast. The donuts were delicious, perfectly fresh. I also ordered a corn muffin for the road, it was wonderful. A good crunchy top as you would hope for in a corn muffin. This is well worth getting off of 93 and swinging by. I think these donuts are far superior to Kane's and much like Ziggys. Yes I love donuts. read more

I never went here under the old owners but got 12 donuts here for a recent work meeting and felt like it hasn't missed a beat. My first reaction upon seeing the price as $25 is a lot for a dozen, even in Boston; however after taking a closer look at the size and weight of the product I'd say both the quality and value compares well to national chains like Dunkin and Krispy Kreme. I picked a variety of donuts for the group and all were a hit; the donuts with fillings like custard and jelly were all very fresh in particular. Chocolate donuts are on the heavier side and have more of that cake like flavor. Great selection overall, just make sure to get there early as they do run out of some popular flavors ... read more

The service here is so wonderful the donuts are yummy my favorite was the chocolate cake donut and the blueberry muffins.

So things are looking up. Demet's is open and making donuts!! I stopped at Demet's for an extra large iced coffee which was fabulous as always. My coffee tasted great. I also had a chance to reminisce with George/ about some of our old stomping grounds back in the day. Definitely put a smile on my face great conversation. If you're in the Mystic Avenue area stop in and get yourself a dozen donuts you'll be happy that you did. Definitely a five-star establishment which is extremely hard to accomplish for a mom and pop, brick and mortar location. Kudos all around to George and the crew at Demet's. FYI... I'd actually pick up a dozen donuts if you're driving by since we're all staying in during this pandemic and just watching Netflix ha ha ha ha. Enjoy!!! read more

Such an awesome throwback spot! The sandwiches and donuts are top notch, but the service and coffee are even better! Little booths and a wraparound counter makes up the seating giving the place a really cozy feeling. The woman who took and made our order was one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met and I can't wait to go back to try some more donuts! read more

Excellent doughnut shop for the average Joe The pricing is still fair and not outrageous. The doughnuts are actually worth the price and the other pastries are delicious! Have not tried the coffee but they can make a very good espresso read more

The staff do not wear hairnets and I had what appeared to be a beard hair in my breakfast sandwich.

We love Demet's doughnuts! They are classics! They have all of the yummiest doughnuts; we especially enjoyed the honey dipped and Boston cream pie. Make sure to say hi to George if you're here, he rocks! read more

Demet's Donuts - Extreme breakfast sandwich - Donuts Near Me - Medford, Massachusetts

Found this place on Yelp and I have no regrets! I gave them a call this morning to see if they had glazed jelly donuts (which they did, my aunt will be very pleased) and they let me know there were plenty left and that I could come right down and grab some. It's definitely a local hot spot - I live in Winthrop so it was about a 17 min drive for me (no traffic) Definitely has a very local vibe where everyone knows everyone which I think is great! I believe the man who I spoke to on the phone and who boxed the donuts was the owner and he was awesome. When a place has superb customer service they get my utmost respect especially after the pandemic took such a toll on local businesses. Highly recommend! Next time I'll have to try the coffee. read more

Pros: -Spacious inside -Lots of parking I would rank Demet's as a runner up for best Boston Cream donut in the city. Fairly fresh around 8am and solid flavor. read more

Solid donuts and breakfast sandwich. Best near me. Nice spot to sit with the family too

Crazy good. Got there at 7 AM this morning because I couldn't sleep. The donuts are massive. Very very local clientele. But then again it was 7 AM. The donuts? Amazing. They have a different taste than others that I've had. I really enjoyed them and we will definitely be back. read more

Dont think it's just a donut. This great donut shop is just that, great. Still has the nostalgia of an old school donut shop staying right with the times. The donuts are hand cut and homemade. You want to feel 6 again? You need to here an old story about Medford? Need a reminder what love is really like? Try the Demet's special. it will make you feel like your a child eating a REAL donut for the first time. Listen to the crowd of good ol' boys chatting up about local sports or politics. Ask about the coffee, it's actually very good. The love they put into there donuts can only be tasted! Get there early, you will see why. Thanks to the staff helping me decide on my selection and not pushing every donut on me. You had me at old fashioned! read more

Do you know those times when your expectations fall far from reality? That's Demet's Donuts. These donuts were expensive, extremely dry, and left a yeasty after taste that left me wanting to brush my teeth. We tried both yeast and cake donuts and both came up drier than Lake Powell. The honey glaze lacked a real honey flavor, the chocolate icing and sprinkles were grocery store quality, and donuts were overcooked. Doh! read more

This place is the donut shop of my childhood. Looks just like an old dunkies inside but don't let that fool you the donuts are far from the mass produced lame donuts dunks slings now. Pretty traditional flavors, but cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside soft and chewy on the inside. DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT EATING A GLAZED DONUT. You're welcome. Follow me on insta as I try to eat all the donuts and make pretty flowers @fleurandstitch. read more

Mediocre and that's me being nice. I didn't finish the donuts. they weren't fresh and defiantly not for me to say the least

Worth the drive from Canada! Visiting Boston and decided to try the best Boston filled donuts here and were they ever! We tried a few different kinds and the donuts were all great. Clearly home made and hand made from a family recipe. Owner chatted with us and made for a memorable visit. If you get a chance, get out to Demets. read more

Breakfast sandwich's are amazing. Great atmosphere! Friendly and welcoming. Definitely coming back

Yay! I'm a fan of: It looks like an old skool Dunks. I dig it. The guy who sold me my two and a coffee looked like he never had an oz of fat on him, let alone eat a donut. How many escalades pull up in the parking lot... sheesh, chic! That it is cash only. Not many places are, but I can get down with the dollah-dollah-bills, ya'll. A-OK: Speed of service. That I was called "hun" so many times in a very short transaction. It reminds me that I am at home, oh Boston! The amount of space in this place, the options for filling your tummy's needs too. It smelled kinda like cleaning solution in there - this is cool with me, cause I like that smell, it put my sisters off a bit though... read more

I stop in everyday on the way to work for an Iced coffee and a muffin or donut.They have been there for almost 40 years.Local favorite.

Stumbled on to demet's when we tried to go to another donut shop that was closed and I am so so glad we did! The donuts are fluffy and flavorful. They are so reasonably priced it would be a missed opportunity to not go here often and get at least a half dozen! read more

Donuts are beyond delicious. Especially the new Maple Sugar. The coffee is fabulous! The breakfast sandwiches are mouthwatering! A must in the morning to begin your day. read more

Really solid donuts and breakfast sandwiches, but not the best I've ever had. I tried the Honey Dipped Donut as well as their Ham Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich. Maybe it was the time I went in the morning (9am), but the donut was pretty normal and not as fresh or fluffy (or warm) as some of the other donuts I've tried in the area. As for the breakfast sandwich, it was pretty simple - tasty but not exceptional. Even though they used real eggs, the sandwich only had one small slice of ham, so you could barely taste it. And in terms of flavors, this place will have all of your classics - coconut, Boston cream, chocolate, etc. I would recommend this place to people who are in a hurry or want a convenient breakfast, but it's not worth making a whole trip for. read more

Love this donut place that has the old school family run feel to it still. Definitely a place for locals who have been around for generations, and not just for yuppies and hipsters who are gentrifying the area (though I confess I am part of that gentrification). Unlike the gourmet donut shops, this place has Bavarian creme donuts, in addition to Boston creme. Besides the excellent donut selection, they've got hearty breakfast sandwiches. My favorite is the sausage egg and cheese on a jalapeño bagel! The eggs are fresh which make a noticeable difference in taste. read more

I have given this place so many chances! The only thing that I like better than donuts are donuts that are within easy running distance of my apartment. There's nothing sweeter than to roll into a donut joint, covered in sweat and chest-a-heavin', and bask in the reptilian glare of 13 67-year-old regulars while you pant out "GIMME A BUTTERNUT AND THAT THING WITH ALL THE JIMMIES." Except that thing with all the jimmies, an old-fashioned chocolate frosted, has no soul. Much like most of what you get here. It's fine for some old Italian dude in a peaked cap looking for his grease fix, but us young whipper-snappers and our damn fixation on things like "some semblance of sweetness or actual chocolate flavor" will probably want to whip our snaps elsewhere. I don't know how they make such world-weary, beaten-down old-fashioned donuts. If I had to guess, I'd say they bake up huge batches once a month in an industrial oven somewhere in the third world, then just dunk a handful in cold grease each morning before dumping them out on the counter. Which, come to think of it, is probably the actual Dunkin Donuts business model. The two-tone glazed cruller and the butternut are the standouts, but both are done better just about anywhere that's not Dunks. If you believe the label, their blueberry cake is apparently world-famous, presumably for its insidious sogginess and absence of anything berry-like. At least the glaze is kinda sweet. Also, I should probably have taken off an extra star for their Honeydew-esque attempt to trick unsuspecting bystanders by precisely aping Dunkies' color scheme and iced coffee window stickers. Sad times! read more

Wasn't at all what i was expecting dry glazed donuts . Got a coffee roll abs no cinnamon in the middle no flavor no glaZe . Just dry

Cinnamon sugar was too powdery imo (I prefer more granular cinnamon sugar) but the chocolate frosted was perfect. Very nice people, half the price of competitors. Update: hmmm be warned they're inconsistent. I'll probably go once more as a tie breaker to decide if it merits 3 or 4 stars. read more

We have a terrible habit of wanting to eat at a donut place, and arriving later in the afternoon. This happened again at Demet's. If you are a donut fan, you know that the result of the above situation is a poor selection of donuts that may have been sitting there for a bit. That being said, we chose a Boston cream and a chocolate frosted. They were tasty, but I look forward to going back and trying some of their best stuff in the morning hours. Seems like a great, local spot. Go there and eat donuts (in the AM.) read more

Just went for the first time and purchased two completely stale donuts that were hard as a rock. Never again!

I love this place. It's so special to have an old school donut place in the neighborhood. The staff are super friendly and I love the atmosphere. Just heads up it's cash only. read more

I'd say these are marginally better than Dunkin. If the choice were to go to this place or a Dunkin across the street, it would be Demet's all the way. But I had to go out of my way to try these donuts and would probably never return because they weren't spectacular or anything. They had the usual variety of chocolate frosted, Boston Creme, glazed, blueberry and some others. Nothing special. When I unwrapped them out of the bag for display at the office, the chocolate had melted all over the wax paper and looked unappetizing. Eek. $7.20 for a half dozen, or $1.50 each, cash only. The workers seemed friendly. I think that Union Square or Kane's produce better donuts, but of course for 3x the price. read more

I am not a morning person, and prior to like a month ago, I was very...attached to a bus / train schedule to get to work every day. So, making my way to Demet's was a bit of a struggle for me. I was on my way home from an appointment one weekday on my day off and made the spontaneous decision to go in. Like others have mentioned, there's only a few spots available. This place is super "retro" and makes me think it's the "original dunkin donuts". They're local, so the one woman I spoke to was super sweet and nice. I arrived at like 2PM~ so there weren't many donuts left. I got the chocolate (cake) donut and a coffee roll? donut (which was the size of my hand for my mom as a surprise). They were delicious and better than dunkin's if I had to compare. You can't compare this place to those "hipster" / "modern" donut places like Kane's, Blackbird, etc...because I'm pretty sure this place existed way before them. I really enjoyed these donuts and they're affordable and it's the kind of place I wouldn't mind spending some time in sitting there and enjoying a donut and hot cocoa (I don't drink coffee). *CASH ONLY* read more

The donuts are very good and so fresh! They taste amazing. They do run out of a few flavors by the afternoon, but that is expected and very common at most donut shops. The donuts taste very fresh and they don't have that processed flavor that you'll find at many other shops. They're also very filling but you'll want to eat them all! :) read more

A solid breakfast sandwich with real egg and a great croissant. Their homemade donuts are fantastic as well - beats any sort of food product dunkins puts out. You can get a breakfast sandwich, donut, and large coffee all for around $8. Personally, not a fan of the coffee, but their food is what keeps me going back. read more

Amazing, simple donuts done right! Wonderful service every time. I really have nothing else to say--this place is the epitome of what an American donut shop should be! read more
