Stopped by Mass Hole Donuts today and I get the hype!! These little donut holes are delicious. They change up the flavors weekly, so it's always a fun surprise, and they're the perfect bite-sized sweet treat without being overly heavy. The texture is perfect and everything tastes fresh. Definitely worth grabbing a 6-pack (or more). Already thinking about my next visit to try the new weekly flavors! read more

Was tempted by blueberry week and had to try all 6 flavours on offer! Why have I never been before!! The perfect mini donut so you can have 6 and not feel guilty! The fillings were so fresh and the perfect amount in each! The cake donuts were moist and not dry and the glaze was soooo yummy! read more

Perfect size, great texture and fun flavors. The base of most donuts is brioche, chocolate and poppy seed that is then filled and topped off with some really interesting flavor combos. We had so much fun sampling each donut hole and none of them disappointed. The town drop off was seamless, order and pay online and on the date, drive to specified location for pick up. So glad I tried this box of donuts, on the pricier side for a dozen but so worth the experience and convenience. read more

Went here for the first time in celebration of Dog Appreciation Day! Such delicious donuts, we got the half dozen assortment which you can custom select from a range of sweet & savory donuts. We got the Extra Extra (coffee & cream glaze with brown butter vanilla icing), Summertime Sprinkle (strawberry poppyseed donut), and my favorite was the themed The American Dog donut paying homage to tiramisu flavors with incredible mocha custard filling and chocolate dog medallion. There was a local artist painting my caricatures of visiting dogs and you could buy dog treats as well, it was so cute! read more

Solid donut shop in Teele Square! This shop specifically sells donut holes of all different flavors and they all have fun names related to Massachusetts landmarks! I recently visited for their Ciderfest which was a fun way to start the morning. I tried their cider slushie with homemade cinnamon whipped cream and 3 different takes on their classic cider donut hole. The donuts were warm and fresh - crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and the cider slushie was the perfect complement! I'll definitely be back for more donuts! read more

TL;DR: Pop-up review; staff was so friendly and fun; Donuts were disappointing Saw this place while walking around the city and decided to pop in. This was a pop-up location where they only had pre-set boxes of assorted donut holes. They have brioche and poppy seed base donuts. The staff was really nice and friendly, and the sample of sprinkles they gave us were very yummy. The donut holes, unfortunately, were very disappointing. The donuts were either extremely dense, flavorless, or dry. I love the concept, but I think if you're looking for that donut craving to be fulfilled, I'd look elsewhere. read more

TASTY TREATS! To be honest though, the name is straight hilarious to me and really just wanted to score some merch to sport LOL! However, was still hoping it had some decent grub for our first sampling of the Massachusetts donut scene around Boston. Sure, Dunkin' Donuts originated in Massachusetts and it definitely has a BIG presence here, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is the best option. C'mon Mass Hole, put Big Corporate Dunkin' to shame!!! Mass Hole makes many lists of "Best of Boston," and although a little off the beaten path, yelp directions are on point. Street parking only for this hole in the wall eatery. (Heh heh!). Not too much of a crowd this Saturday morning which is good for me! We actually preordered as soon as the new menu popped up on Wednesday for the upcoming weekend. Soooo... LET'S EAT! 6 FLAVORS AVAILABLE THIS WEEK: 1) BUTTERSCOTCH BOSTON DREAM, 2) THE EXTRA EXTRA!, 3) SUMMERTIME SPRINKLE, 4) BARNSTABLE BLACKOUT CAKE, 5) LAKEVILLE LEMONADE STAND, 6) THE RABBIT HOLE. We got the 2 dozen option to share amongst the 12 of us. My favorite of this set was Butterscotch Boston Dream... YUM! (GIMME GIMME!!!). Least fave was The Extra Extra! (I'm not a coffee person). Kinda the same was Barnstable Blackout & Rabbit Hole. The youngsters gobbled up Summertime Sprinkle. Wifey enjoyed the Lemonade Stand. 2 dozen DID NOT LAST LONG. Small but delightfully impactful bites! Definitely was craving a return visit, unfortunately could not fit it into our schedule :( For sure, the best tasting donuts of our New England trip! EASY RECOMMENDATION! If you have the time, definitely worth a visit! Just gotta plan it out because Mass Hole is not open every day sadly. ENJOY! read more

A cute little storefront that serves gourmet donut holes. It's more of a takeout window so you just order without stepping in and then they'll hand you the order. Donuts actually don't look that appetizing when boxed up, but they certainly are Instagram worthy when lined up on a tray for display. I'm not a fan of cake donuts because of how dense they are, so I opted for the two brioche raised donuts they offered that day. A three pack is $5! These donut holes are bigger than what you would expect donut holes to be, and they are fancier! If you have a sweet tooth, I definitely would recommend them as they taste more like dessert than breakfast. Both the rainbow and the butterscotch were tasty treats, though I wish there were more brioche options. Service was very friendly! read more

New Flavorful fluffy donuts in Teele Square! They have a lot of flavors but they make them in rotation, so you can only experience 6 at a time. This is such a good marketing tactic. I got 3 for $8. It's expensive but each one is the size of my hand so it's kinda worth. Boston Banana Cream Pie 4/5 -- "our tender brioche, filled with banana custard, dipped in luscious chocolate ganache and topped with real chocolate sprinkles". Love the subtle banana flavor and how fluffy and non sweet the brioche is. I think it could do without the chocolate sprinkles, which doesn't add much except for a strange mouth feel and chalkier flavor. Extra Extra "A fluffy raised brioche dunked in fresh coffee-and-cream glaze, drizzled with our brown butter vanilla bean icing." 4/5 -- tastes like sweet coffee frosting! very soft and fluffy as well but the brioche is not that sweet which is needed because the frosting definitely is. Orange Line 4.5/5 -- "A poppyseed cake donut hole, dipped in a fresh orange glaze, topped with vanilla buttercream, candied orange peel, and dark chocolate." This is the best as it gives another dimension of flavor, acidity. It's the smaller one of the three but packed the most flavor. The name made me chuckle. Despite being from MA, I don't call myself a Masshole but I do appreciate the donuts and the fun flavors they have. read more

Went to small pop up in the Seaport district. So cute. The rules at pop up shops are different- you have to purchase a pre packaged box of donuts. Because of this we ended up getting some flavors we wouldn't have chosen. Turns out- all the donuts were absolutely delicious and we ended up loving the 2 flavors we originally did not want.

For some reason, I hadn't seen the Yelp page prior to asking The Mr. to pick them up, so I was expecting regular donut holes. Wow, was I pleasantly surprised that they were anything but regular! They looked so beautiful and taste even more amazing than they look. The high level of creativity (weekly rotating flavors) and execution for each flavor is impressive. We've brought them to family get togethers and work and everyone loves them! My favorite ones are the Pecan Hill and Johnny Appleseed. The fry on the donuts was superb - great layer of crisp before hitting the soft center. The best thing is that the sweetness is just right - not too over the top sweet like many donuts tend to be. We do wish there were dairy-free options (one of our kiddos has a dairy allergy), but I totally understand. These delectable treats will not disappoint! read more

Lots to love about Mass Hole Donuts! I lately have been on a donut kick and have enjoyed getting to try different donuts in greater Boston. So many donuts--which ones to get?! Mass Hole Donuts solves that by providing the option to try a number of different varieties. I enjoyed getting a half dozen of each of their flavors this past weekend, and really enjoyed it. I walked up and ordered at the window but can see the value in ordering ahead online if you want to be sure to reserve particular flavors. The staff was very helpful, as well. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Excellent donut holes and super friendly staff! Came here basically as soon as they opened on a Friday morning and got a double-double (two dozen, or basically 4 of each type of donut) for $30. All the flavors are excellent. The Boston banana cream -- and I'm not a huge fan of banana -- was incredible, not too sweet and perfect with the chocolate. Same with the Mama's l'il masshole -- don't be deceived, this perfectly plain funfetti cake donut is delicious, beautiful texture, with just a hint of aroma from the fried crunchy exterior. All their flavors are great but I prefer their cake donut (in general) to their brioche donut. I think my favorite was actually the pecan hill, which was perfectly glazed and paired nicely with the pecan. Lovely place, can't wait to come back. read more

Such a cute concept. If your thinking about trying this place, do it! I'm biased towards mini donuts but these are really good. I recommend just ordering the 6 pack with 1 of each flavor, flavors rotate daily I believe. I have yet to have one that I don't like at all, though I'm partial to the chocolate and the poppy seed based donut holes. The place is adorable and the names of the donuts will make you laugh, though you do need to have some new england knowledge to get the jokes! The apple cider slushi is also delicious, though a little bit too much sugar for me. If you indulge, I definetly recommend the cinnamon whip cream. read more

Mass Hole Donuts serves the glamorous version of the Dunkin Donuts Munchkins. Staples of my grade school holiday parties, it had been a long time since I've eaten bite size donuts in lieu of the regular sized ones you'd get at Blackbird or Union Square. Mass Hole donuts are priced like regular donuts, but you're essentially getting a unique mini dessert in every bite. Most recently, I've had a combination of their peach donut holes and their chocolate donut holes. Each donut hole is decadent and probably better positioned as a dessert after a fancy meal than something quick you eat with your coffee. The donut menu is rotating and have names as creative as their recipe. If you constantly struggle with choosing from three donuts with different flavors, then getting a 3-pack of Mass Hole donuts might be the right choice for you. read more

Pricy, Hit or Miss:…read more This is a classic donut shop, with a slightly upscale interior compared to the factory produced donut shops that grace many of America's strip malls. I am healthily skeptical of any place trying to make a donut something more than what it should be. I feared this with Union Square, but was invited in by the mystery of well crafted names and compelling flavor profiles. Service was neither good nor bad, I was a little surprised that the person working the cash register was unable to assist the two people in the back and just grab the three donuts I ordered, but perhaps its this kind of front line discipline allows them to survive the rush of early morning donut enthusiasts. The Nuts: I ordered the honey glaze chocolate, honey glaze graham cracker, vegan vanilla with sprinkles. - Honey Glaze Chocolate: "A DoNot": A dense donut, not light and airy, light on the Chocolate flavor and, most damagingly, it was dry. The frosting was there and little else. - Vegan Vanilla with Sprinkles: "A fine donut": The cake was spongy, moist enough, but a little chewy (which I believe is a plague of most vegan baked goods). Frosting was unremarkable, somewhat buoyed by the sprinkles. - The Honey Glaze Graham Cracker: "A happy little accident": I accidentally ordered this donut, but sometimes God steps in. The cake was moist and delicious. The Frosting was perhaps a little heavy on some kind of sugar, powdered? But the frosting proved to be an interesting medley of classic vanilla with just enough engaging graham cracker. I got to slightly taste the magic that likely propelled this small shop to a local chain. But as they have expanded I am sure quality control has become an issue. Pop in if you are feeling adventurous and want to gamble with $5.

He said hello and welcome. After waiting for another customer to complete his purchase the man behind the counter asked what I wanted. I told him and the young woman there who gave me a cross scout that I wanted a plain donut. The man's smile turned into a frown quickly. Maybe because it was a specialty donut shop which I hadn't realized. Both of the workers had their arms crossed and immediately stopped talking to us. I asked about other flavors and they both looked at me as if to say, please leave. I ordered three different donuts and the price came to almost $16z. Wow! Expensive donuts. My family and I left the store and we each began eating the donuts. We spoke about the price but felt it could be worth it if it tasted good. The donuts were not good.

I also got the salted brown butter crueller which as others have mentioned was quite dense but I still enjoyed it, especially the icing. Ambiance is mostly takeout, and service was quick and friendly. I'd recommend making your donut decisions before you step in because once you see their case, it's harder haha.

Bad experience today. Advertised about free donut day come into store you can scan a code. Cashier…read moresays we didn't get the code. WiFi terrible in store. Taking you off my go to list for donuts.

Hiding beneath the mountain of sugary toppings is a stale chocolate doughnut. Looks better than it was.

The "fresh" orange juice also comes from a pre-packaged bottle.... The hostess was rude and not helpful. Won't be going back. There are better brunch places nearby.

Inside of blueberry donut - texture isn't my favorite. The glaze has a strong blueberry flavor.

I'm quite literally surprised that this donut shop has not blown up with customer and/or reviews!…read more These make my "top 3 donuts" in the country thus far! Now we could have been spoiled with the freshness of the donut upon purchase but that theory was tested when we ate our last bite the following day! I was surprised in the lack of inventory upon our arrival at 815am but I can seee that the bakers were working on batches in the back. The donuts were airy, doughy and perfectly glazed. I'm upset that I am not a local to enjoy them on a weekly basis to be frank! This is by far a hidden gem and I am most certain it is a gate keeper! I am doing anyone who reads this review a favor!! I believe and search for hole in the walls but I do feel the spot could use a little TLC to attract more customers but my guess is they know their product and they must get enough biz without.

Came here on Valentine's Day. There was a decent line to acquire these delectable treats. But we…read morewaited and the wait was worth the reward of these donuts. They are delicious and delicate. They are exactly what I look for in a donut. I cannot recommend this shop enough. It's a no frills shop. Donuts, iced coffee, or hot coffee. That's it. Local family owned and operated joint. The lady was super nice. **Don't get there when they first open. Donuts will not be ready. Give them 30 mins to an hour**

The Dough Club sells some yummy mochi donuts and drinks! I did enjoy their strawberry cheesecake donut. It had a light, refreshing strawberry taste. Not too sweet. The dalgona coffee flavor is too light - you definitely taste way more milk than dalgona. Servers also forgot to give us our donut, so although they are nice they could've been more attentive with the order, especially since there were such few customers at that time.

We ended up staying for a while after finishing and the place was pretty quiet/clean, just felt very lifeless. Staff was pretty nice and quick, although the quality of the food left something to be desired - the dough for the taiyaki we got was much too crunchy and burnt. When watching the staff make more, it looked similar as it was too dark and not very fluffy. The ice cream and presentation were fine, but the fish shell unfortunately fell flat for me. This spot isn't bad, but I probably wouldn't return - overpriced for what it is and not great quality.

The cookies are fantasy, and the cream pie was soooo good. They don't have many old-school bakeries around like they used to. This one was opened in 1887, so you know it's good! They did mention they are moving to the larger space on the corner, so expect even more and better things from Lyndell's once that is complete!
