    This is a place to buy donuts. That's all. It's not a place to hang out, and unless you're a fan of watery Dunkin-style coffee, avoid that too. But the donuts are pretty good and the price is reasonable. And I like that every time I come in he throws in something extra, like a few donut holes or an extra old fashioned. And they offer a true "baker's dozen": buy 12 get one free. I like that they're small - that is, appropriately-sized - too. No 800 calorie obscenities often encountered. There are a good variety of most of the standards, and apple and raspberry fritters which I really like. But get there early. If you come later in the day as I often too there are slim pickings. You won't find outrageous flavors like candied maple bacon, PB&J, or bone marrow here but that's ok by me.

    We love Ruby Donuts! Always a great experience and the best cake donuts. So fresh and delicious! Service is always so friendly. Definitely come here to get your donuts!

    Donuts had a bad oily aftertaste chocolate was not very good raspberry filling was great. That's the only thing good about the donut.

    What a hidden gem (at least for me)! My wife and I found a "top 100 donut shops in the US" list and saw this place randomly placed in there... a Massachusetts shop on the list?! And it's not far from us?! Let's go! The donuts: Amazingly fresh, super light, and very flavorful. I was shocked when I tried the jelly donut in how amazing it was. We bought a dozen and everyone that had one was very impressed and wanted more. The pricing: Knowing many donut shops in the general area, I guesstimated how much a dozen assorted donuts would be. When I saw the prices was under half my estimation, I was blown away. They are ridiculously reasonably priced. All in all - This small business is BIG in flavor, service and in quality. We're definitely looking forward to heading back and grabbing more donuts!!

    Great donuts! All different varieties! Not the same donut with different toppings that has become popular.

    My daughter is allergic to peanuts, do you use peanut oil to cook your doughnuts?

    I wouldn't advise her eating out if that's the case.

    Will they be open on New Years Day?

    Yes

The barbecue sauce is on the sweeter side and at certain bites dominated the flavor profile. something in the dishes made us super lethargic afterwards. i don't normally daytime nap but took one when i got home.

We have tried the pop tarts, croissants, muffins and breads here. Our favorite morning pastry is the vanilla custard filled croissant. If you ask for it warmed before serving, it is simply to die for. I wish I was eating it right now! The owner and workers here are all so friendly. We have bought High Brow coffee beans from here and the light and dark roasts are both great. The coffee and offerings are obviously delicious as well. My only critique would be that I wish Salt & Light made their own oat milk or used a healthier brand option. They use the brand Oatly as their oat milk offering to customers. Oatly milk is absolutely terrible for you and can cause gut bloat due to poor ingredients, etc. But, other than that, we love it here and hope to come back soon :)

Toppings (sausage and mushroom) were few and far between, especially the mushrooms which were almost nonexistent. Toppings, sauce, and cheese came only half-way to the edge, just dough after that. Top was way over-browned to the point where the cheese was disagreeably chewy. And I'm not sure if this was meant to be a thin-crust or a deep-dish pizza because it was both: thin in the middle half and three times thicker in parts of the outer half. Obviously whoever prepared this has no clue to how to do it properly. The ONLY good thing I can say about this mess is the dough itself was fresh and had a good texture. It wasn't just one. We were a group of 5 and ordered 3 pizzas. Everybody agreed they were bad. They should be ashamed to serve these. Didn't anybody notice leaving the kitchen they were unservable? So I would never consider here for take-out. But we were here for trivia night so maybe I'd try again to have something to eat while playing? But next time if they come out like that I'd be refusing delivery and demanding a new one - that's for sure. As far as the trivia, I might not return for that either. The room was very loud from the crowd, and the announcer's microphone never did work properly so it was very hard to hear. And, knowing how many good wines and beers they sell in the general store on the first floor, it is painful to have a choice of just 5 very generic wines upstairs. Why can't they offer all the wines from downstairs, with a reasonable mark-up for restaurant purchase of course?

The brands have changed. The orchards are overgrown and covered in poison ivy with no landscaping to protect patrons, not even warnings. They no longer prepare ordered sandwiches fresh or pastries and soups. Instead just throw together a couple premade soggy sandwiches. Who makes a turkey and ham with a piece of lettuce sandwich and charges $8? I don't know if management changed, but the delightful and welcoming service is now void. I felt as if I was a bother and got the drift I wasn't at all welcomed with underlying tones of "ok get what you see and get out." I miss the kind ladies from 15-20 years ago who treated you like old friends. I had driven about 20 miles, excited to visit this old orchard I adored for years as a summer day escape to refresh. I left feeling heavily disappointed, turned away and realizing the age of kind service, pleasant and genuine "how do you do's" are a thing of the past. The sadness leaving was palpable. I really used to love this place. I could tell the staff just wanted to do the least and clock out. It left a very poor taste in my mouth. Dare I say a broken heart. The soul is gone. I ask that I don't receive a response from ownership because it will just hurt more.
