Once you make it past the ordering stage, this place is an absolute gem. The women working the counter were very nice, and they kept repeating orders as it got busy to ensure they got everybody's right. The food is 1000% nourishment for the soul with just the right amount of greasiness to the hashbrown and everything cooked perfectly. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese with hashbrown on a croissant and was the happiest person eating it. The place is fairly small, but there is ample seating given that most people ordered takeout. Excellent breakfast spot! read more

Mike's Donuts - bacon egg and cheese with hashbrown on a croissant, medium cappuccino - Donuts Near Me - Roxbury Crossing, Massachusetts

I honestly love it but for no reason. They aren't super friendly and can't quite grasp oat milk and make you repeat a million times. They seem bothered you are there. But sometimes they'll throw munchkins in the bag and that always makes my day. The muffins are the perfect mix of a little stale on the outside, saved by the sugar on top and fluffy inside. It pairs really well the coffee. It is the perfect neighborhood spot. I come here almost everyday, order the same thing and they never remember me. Everyday. Confused by oat milk. Also the price of my coffee changes every single day. It's amusing. Still not complaining, this is just their vibe. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and finally headed down at around noon this past weekend to get some donuts. The donuts were pretty good, I enjoyed my glazed one and the chocolate was good as well (yet very crumbly, it practically fell apart in my hand). Overall they were sweet, soft and tasted fresh. My only gripe was that the cashier was still helping the customer in front of us when she began to try and take our order. There was no line or need to rush, so I think it would seem more courteous to take your time with each customer, or simply allow them to finish paying before you move on to the next. The donuts were good though! read more

Mike's Donuts - Chocolate glazed donut - Donuts Near Me - Roxbury Crossing, Massachusetts

We arrived around noon on a Saturday and while we know it's a bit on the later side, we were disappointed to see they were pretty much cleared out. I thought it would have been stocked more similarly to their pastry shops, but it was vastly different. The woman with the short hair behind the counter wasn't very friendly, bordering on rude. Especially in comparison to the other woman with the blond hair who was more pleasant. We grabbed the last cinnamon roll, 2 glazed donuts, an egg with cheese on a croissant and a cold brew. The cold brew was $6, seems kinda steep. The glazed so nuts were good, I'd definitely get them again. But it was downhill from there. Coffee was mediocre, the cinnamon bun tasted like the ones you can get at a NYC food truck. The croissant was practically burnt (I didn't ask for hit to be toasted), and the egg was seemingly pre-made a la Dunkin. That was kind of a bummer because the croissant looked good on the shelf. read more

Friendly staff, lots of regulars come here, I popped in because I wanted a fresh glazed donut and a small hot coffee. Perfect treat on a chilly April weekend afternoon. Prices are very reasonable. I will be back! read more

Mike's Donuts - small hot coffee and glazed donut - Donuts Near Me - Roxbury Crossing, Massachusetts

0-star if possible!!! Rude staff, food is all frozen - then microwaved. Dirty restaurant on the inside. Prices are not accurate. Truly a horrible place. Do not eat the sausage read more

Great place for breakfast sandwiches. Cheap and fast-while also tasting by pretty good. Nothing special but gets the job done. Not somewhere you go to if you're looking for a latte. Pretty sure my mocha was just drip coffee with a pump of chocolate sauce. read more

We were looking for an old fashioned donut shop & found Mike's on Yelp. We got a cinnamon bun, chocolate sprinkle, & regular glazed. The cinnamon bun & chocolate sprinkle were standard, but the glazed was a bit sweaty with condensation. Service was fast & friendly, but the inside of the building was a bit buggy with little flies. Parking is limited (mission hill residents only). Overall the donuts were pretty average; I might come here if I lived closer but it wasn't worth the drive for us. read more

Solid local spot. The prices are very reasonable. The service is quick and kind. There's space to sit and read the Globe. A local institution. read more

Pros: -Freshest dough in the city. Seriously, it's SO soft it deflates in your hands. -The staff here continue to be awesome. I was buying a dozen donuts ($10.99) with a $10 giftcard and a credit card. They must now have a credit card minimum because the woman assisting me told me she couldn't charge the $0.99, so she said I could just pay it next time. -Jelly is a frightening red color, which is actually a Pro because jelly donuts are the worst and this donut self-signals that you should steer clear. Cons: -Credit card minimum (not sure if $3 or $5) -Skimpy with the chocolate frosting read more

What a cute little family owned gem we found. They were so sweet and welcoming - it just felt great to support a family owned business. We ended up ordering 6 glazed donuts. They were huge! Definitely worth the price! read more

Really dope place, their donuts are pretty good especially the Boston kreme, but the bagels I get there are amazing. It also has an authentic feel to it which makes me wanna come back here rather than somewhere like Dunkin read more

Great little neighborhood donut spot, there's usually a small line on the weekend but I had no problem going in the morning on a weekday. The staff are nice and the shop is exactly what you would expect of a neighborhood donut place -- cute, but nothing extravagant. The donuts are $1.40 each and they are delicious. I ordered a jelly donut which was very tasty and definitely seemed like they either made the jam from scratch or used a high quality raspberry jam. Would recommend stopping by if you're craving a sweet treat in the morning. Overall, a great stop in Mission Hill! read more

I ordered a dozen of Donuts to bring to work and Ice coffee, total $ 19.00. To Make matters worse we opened the box and 10 Donuts. Cheap ass people!! read more

Donuts were blah, the two behind the counter had the personality of a wet mop and the place was dinghy. I always try to find a local bakery when I visit to find my new favorite place instead of a Dunkin'. read more

I was in the area after an early morning hair appointment and was craving coffee. I yelped places nearby (what else would I use lol) and this donut shop popped up first on the list. I haven't had a donut in Boston this whole pandemic so I thought... HECK YES I'm getting a coffee AND A DONUT. When I walked in, 2 ladies were tidying up the place but when they saw me, they quickly ran to the register. They were both SO SWEET, just as sweet as the pastries they sell! I ordered a small coffee, then realized after I didn't say black, but let me tell you, that creamy perfectly sweetened coffee was AMAZING. I chose to get the last Boston Cream that was left. I was pleasantly surprised at how soft and fluffy the donut was, filled with delicious cream and topped with rich chocolate! I'll for sure be back when I'm in the area for sweet donuts, coffee, and staff! read more

The two women behind the counter were quite rude, I ordered a small coffee and a glazed donut and they gave a lot of attitude, seemingly upset about my order. They handed me my donut and then dispensed the coffee from a large carafe and microwaved it in the paper cup. This was alarming, as the cup is not a microwaveable cup, they melted plastic into my coffee, and how old is the coffee that it needed to be microwaved? Needless to say the coffee was awful. Two stars because the donut was mediocre and not awful. Additionally the table I sat at was filthy despite the place being empty. read more

Really tasty and fresh glazed donut. And I love that the price was great. The selection was slim since it was after noon. However I'll be back at an earlier time so that I can see the full variety of their donuts. read more

I'd say this place is probably on the same level as Dunkin's in terms of both quality and price. I came here on my own on a Sunday afternoon for some pre-museum fuel. Many of the flavors were already out, but I grabbed the very last glazed donut (yay!). Service was pretty decent, nothing spectacular. They have all the "classic" donut flavors, and not much other unique donut flavors that are all the rage these days. Coupled with the interior though, it's kind of nostalgic--it has that 1990's look and feel. Reminds me of my neighborhood's local donut shop I used to go as a kid. It's comforting! There is lots of seating, but most people take their food to go. For around a buck a donut, you can't really complain. The donut was pretty standard, nothing really special; it doesn't really differ much to a Dunkin Donut glazed donut to me (which is not anything negative because I'm a loyal Dunkin's customer LOL). I guess I was just expecting more. However, I'd choose this place over Dunkin's just because I want to support a local business. Still have yet to try their coffee! Would come again if ever in the area. read more

Mike's Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Roxbury Crossing, Massachusetts

The plain glazed are the best. They are pretty sweet and I personally wish there was a little less glaze but I think most people would find that part perfect. The dough is light and tastes fresh - it tastes like fried dough. The boston creme is great. I drive from a town over to get these bc there are none others this good around. Yummy! read more

Honestly, Mike's isn't that much better than Dunkins. I've tried several donuts here, including the plain glazed, jelly, and chocolate glazed, and I haven't been impressed by any of them. The yeast dough is nice and fluffy, but it's often made soggy by the glaze. The chocolate glazed was generally uninteresting, not super chocolatey, and lacking in a nice outer crisp. I have come at a few different times, and even at 8:30am they were out of many flavors. I appreciate that they are priced appropriately, though, especially compared to most donuts in Boston. Three stars because nothing was terrible and it makes more sense to support Mike's than big chains like Dunkins. read more

Mike's Donuts - Chocolate frosted with sprinkles. - Donuts Near Me - Roxbury Crossing, Massachusetts

I'm not sure which of the ladies is the owner (or maybe co-owners?) but they're both awesome. Just the sweetest ladies and if you're lucky they might even give you a free donut! Probably my favorite breakfast sandwich in Boston, not some super fancy place, just a really damn good bacon egg and cheese! read more

I have been meaning to come here ever since I've lived on the Hill. I finally got the chance! It could be a little hidden since there's construction going on on Tremont Street. My go-to donut is the chocolate glazed, however when I came to Mike's, they only had the glazed donut and the old-fashioned donut, therefore my choices were narrowed by a lot. I only wanted to try a donut, but they have a $3 minimum for card. I had to buy something else, so I saw the breakfast sandwich was $3. I got a croissant with sausage, egg, and cheese and I have to say it was the best decision I made that day!! I also got the donut because why not. For 99 cents, that glazed donut was perfectly glazed and not too sweet. It was also a pretty big donut and it was super soft! I highly recommend coming here because it's quick and convenient. Also the prices here are budget friendly for the college students who live around the area. I would rather come here than Dunkin' Donuts. read more

I love Mike's donuts. I always stop by before I come to work or whenever I'm in the area. The staff is super friendly and love both of the locations at forest hills and here. They are super convenient and easily accessible by the train. The food is very good and so are the drinks. You can't go wrong. I would recommend trying out their donuts, they are huge in comparison to another donut shops and taste great. read more

really gross coffee and donuts. That day staff was rude. Has a popular following so wanted to like this place

So glad I decided to randomly pop in here the other day - the donuts and breakfast sandwiches are out of this world! The donuts are so sweet and cakey, and the breakfast sandwich that I got tasted so fresh and delicious. The sweet woman at the cashier asked if I wanted hash browns and I mistakenly thought she meant on the side, so when they came on the sandwich itself I was surprised, but it was better than I could have imagined. So tasty! read more

I've had some time to calm down, and in the end this place gets 4 stars for doughnuts only. Good glazed donuts, fresh made and yummy. For the rest, forget it. We saw the web site and expected breakfast. Instead we go microwaved food served on bad bagels and a microwaved spinach and cheese 'croissant.' Being served microwaved food in a restaurant is a HUGE pet peeve for me. I simply refuse to eat it. My boyfriend ate his food, I had a couple of bites of donut, and we moved on. I waited to eat somewhere else. read more

I got a glazed donut and bacon, egg and cheese sandwich with hashbrowns stuffed inside from here. The prices are right and the food is good! The glazed donut is large and fluffy (not dense and cake-like). The quality of food is definitely better than Dunkin' Donuts and I'd rather support a small business, so I see myself being a regular customer here. The nice lady behind the cash register also threw in two free donut holes into my order, which was a nice surprise! read more

I've passed this place many times, but stopped in for the first time for Sunday breakfast. I ordered the bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant and a small coffee with cream and sugar. The prices were reasonable and the woman behind the counter was very sweet. When I got my food, I was pleasantly surprised - the sandwich was HUGE and tasty, though a little on the salty side. Coffee was pretty standard, though next time I might go light on the sugar. Overall, a good place to know about next time I need a quick and filling breakfast. read more

Mike's Donuts - Bacon egg and cheese on a croissant and small coffee - Donuts Near Me - Roxbury Crossing, Massachusetts

Cute little spot in Mission Hill with lots of regulars stopping in. I went around 1pm and the doughnuts were DECIMATED. I did manage to get a glazed donut and a small coffee. The coffee was surprisingly good (I think I was expecting something on par with a convenient store - it was much much better) and the donut was sweet and light - but not overwhelmingly sweet. Perfect for an afternoon pick me up. While I was reading and noshing, students and nearby residents stopped in to get warm and take in a sweet or too - it had a great wholesome neighborhood vibe - and the woman behind the counter had the best name (Esmerelda!). I'd come back if I lived in the area, but I'll probably stick with Union Square Donuts for future doughnut endeavors. read more

Mike's Donuts - Glazed doughnut and small coffee. - Donuts Near Me - Roxbury Crossing, Massachusetts

Most reviews say that it's comparable to dunkin which is an accurate description. I got a jelly donut and was disappointed to find about a teaspoon of jelly and mainly dough. Besides that, the texture and taste of the donut was overall good. However, when I get a jelly donut I expect it to be oozing with jelly so I was overall unsatisfied. read more

Mike's Donuts - Good chocolate donut! - Donuts Near Me - Roxbury Crossing, Massachusetts

This place was just ok for me. I came for the donuts but also picked up a tuna sandwich. The tuna turned out to be better then the donut & I'm not sure how to feel about that. I did go towards lunch so perhaps the donuts are much better in the morning. Overall I'm not sure I would make this a destination but try at your preference. read more

Stumbled by this place and I had to satisfy my cravings for donuts! Five munchkins were about $1.50. The texture of the donuts were more of a cake like texture. I wish they had labels underneath the donuts so I knew what flavors they had. The people were incredibly friendly and great value for the donuts. :) read more

After walking around aimlessly in the Mission Hill/Brigham Circle area I found this gem. Old school no frills shop. Delicious donuts and really good regular coffee. I order a glazed and a chocolate cake. I received a complimentary donut hole of each(I always called them munchkins, cause that's what they are called in lesser donut shops) to my surprise. Not in the area too often, but when I am I'll definitely be back. read more

I love Mike's Donuts!! These doughy, fluffy donuts are my favorite hands down and I wasn't an avid donut-eater until I moved near Mike's and now I go there all the time. Their coffee, donut holes, smoothies, and croissant sandwiches are also delicious and all reasonably priced, and the staff is always so friendly! I will always choose Mike's over Dunkin across the street because I am glad to support a local business with great food, prices, and service. read more

The best people and the best breakfast sandwich - bacon egg and cheese on a croissant. It's perfect. The coffee is also excellent. And again, the people - so kind. read more

We wanted a quick breakfast before we had to go to the airport. This place was walking distance from the house we are staying at. Walking in, the place is smaller and has the anterior of what looks like a Dunkin' Donuts. The food is about the same. We had glazed donuts which were decent. I would prefer the hot and ready krispy creme or a more local, homemade feel kind of donut. We had iced coffee which was alright. The biggest issue I had was when we were in line. We walked up, was not greeted. The cashier was still helping the person in front of us and also trying to take our order instead of waiting a few seconds. We said "we want these two orange ju--" and before we could finish she was like "anything else??? Anything else?" Rushing us through. We ordered quickly, "two donuts and two iced coffees" and she threw them in the bag, and before they had even taken our money the cashier was yelling behind us getting orders from the other customers. I wish this had been more homely and the cashiers took at least a few more seconds with everyone. read more

Average donuts. 1.20 a piece. Good price. No need to rush over. Blackbird or Kane's is the better option but a bit pricier.

Oh Mike's...sweet, delicious Mike's. I miss you so very very much. I used to live in the immediate vicinity of this haven of fresh-baked gooey greatness, but I have moved. Fresh donuts are Delicious! The neighborly atmosphere is completely heart-warming. Mike's is a place where people gather and hang out, not just jostle in line and scowl at one another. They also donate a lot of free donuts to local charitable events and such. Man, it was just a great place. I go there every time I'm in the neighborhood. And for early birds, they open at 4:30am for that morning coffee. read more
