    a variety of donuts in a box - Six donuts with different toppings and glazes are arranged in a cardboard box, including sprinkles, coconut, and nuts.

    This was my first time here, and I could tell that it was a neighborhood favorite. As locals sat around and talked I could tell this was a good place to get coffee and a sandwich. They also offered donuts and a variety of pastries. The donuts were big and really good! I loved my Asiago bagel too!!

    A paper coffee cup with a lid and a glazed donut with chocolate drizzle are placed on a table near a window.

    Strange little place with actually really good coffee and donuts. They're like half corner mart half donut shop with a little bit of sandwhich shop sprinkled in there. Their prices are super affordable, a large coffee and donut was $5!!! It's cute and small inside and very relaxing to sit and drink your coffee. Service was good too. Over all nice place.

    Corn muffin

    I stopped by for a corn muffin and received 4 complimentary donut holes of various flavors which I thought was very gracious. The corn muffin was very good but I like a more crispy top which would have sent this muffin over the top. The texture of the muffin was a little to moist which kinda detracts from the solid corn flavor which I prefer. Still in all this was an above average corn muffin. The donut holes were good well cooked and flavored. This place does a very good job and is well worth a stop if you are in that area.

    I'd never had an Oreo donut until today. Amazing.

    This is probably the best kept secret in Newington. It's right across the street from the shell station, and is one of the best little hole in the wall's you'll ever find. I've driven past here every Saturday the last few weeks, and today I finally went inside. I will no longer be picking up Dunkin every Saturday morning, I'm going to start going here. The man who runs the place is incredibly nice, and the donuts are fantastic. Oreo donuts, Boston cream donuts, sprinkle donuts, apple fritters....all of them delicious.

So I turned the Yelp started looking at donuts spots. When perusing I saw this place had a blueberry filled doughnut, which I wanted myself. So I chose this place and it's cool cause they have a drive-through and I know that's nothing special when you're going to chain places. Most places that are not chains do not have drive-through. The blueberry diet was awesome. I got a coffee for myself and a bagel with veggie cream cheese. The bagel wasn't bad but it didn't blow me away like the blueberry doughnut. Then I got a dozen donuts and like a coffee party box that came with a ton of sugar and milk and everything you could need for a coffee station. It was a hit with the crew. My only complaint was the car that I had was a rental and it was kind of shorter so when handing the box out to me, the donut box almost spilled, and then the box with the coffee and all the accoutrements started to rip. So though the drive-through was a plus at first, it almost was the beginning to a very bad day. Trust me, I work in Paper and Paper board what you put something in is important. And there's been so many advancements in Grace barrier technology.

We ordered a 8 pack of mini donuts and 2 protein doughnuts. The mini doughnuts came in a myriad of flavor combos. Those flavors were pronounced, the base is a cake doughnut so it's spongy but light. It's a good cake doughnut, but I'm not really a fan of cake style doughnuts. For me, cake doughnuts need to be right out the oven to be good. These were made recently, but cooled significantly and not to my preference. The protein doughnuts were dipped fresh. They were not much different in terms of consistency but it's a much denser doughnut and a bit of chew because of the protein powder. It also has the aftertaste of sunflower shells that health products tend to have. Not unpleasant, but makes it taste like standard "healthy" products It's not bad, but it's also not great. For the price is right for the quality, and it's one of the few dessert options for the area. It's worth a try if you're around or if you really like cake doughnuts, but I wouldn't trek there.

The market has a warm, lively atmosphere and feels welcoming the moment you walk in. The staff is friendly and efficient, even when it's busy.

The scones are perfectly baked-soft and puffy in the center with a crisp outer crust. The cookies are enormous and packed with chocolate chips. On my most recent visit, it was extremely busy and there was a bit of a wait for my latte, but it was well worth it. The vanilla latte was hot, flavorful and filled to the top-just the way I like it. Doro Marketplace continues to be a must-stop for me whenever I'm back in the area, and I always look forward to returning. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed.

One of my favorite parts is the selection of pre-prepped meals you can take home and throw right in the oven, like Chicken Cordon Bleu and stuffed chicken with spinach and artichoke, along with many other options. It makes dinner so much easier. The only downside was that the avocados all seemed very overripe, so those probably aren't the best thing to buy here. Other than that, the store is well stocked and easy to shop in. I also really appreciate that they have real checkout counters instead of only self-checkout. The employees are friendly, helpful, and the service is good. Prices run a little on the higher side, but if you look around, you can definitely find some decent deals. Overall, it's a convenient and enjoyable place to shop, especially for the pre-made meals and family-friendly atmosphere.
