Best glazed donut around, comparable to market basket and much better than DD. The prices recently went up, so it is a little expensive but not unreasonable. They close at 5pm and if you go in towards the end of the day the owner usually throws in some freebies. I do wish they did a better job at sanitation, the glass and front entrance is always dirty and old signs have never been taken down from when they first opened a long time ago. read more

I had passed this nondescript donut shop so many times but someone at the gym mentioned how good the donuts were - I decided to stop by after my workout. So glad I did. Donuts are definitely much better than the large chain. Fresh and flavorful, light and filling. Will definitely come back. read more

Delicious fresh donuts! Stopped in and was treated to a glazed donut cut in half with whipped cream and raspberry jam, delicious! The staff was very kind and gave me a little tasting. Great prices for some quality donuts. read more

I picked up six donuts at Ruby today, and these are still the best! There's just nothing like a super fresh glazed donut. Where else can you even get fresh, light donuts? On a Sunday afternoon? And the frosted chocolate cake donut is a treat! read more

Someone brought Ruby's donuts (not sure if they were donated or purchased) to my wife's work as a thank you for essential workers during the COVID craziness. My wife said they were the best donuts she ever had! She had a double chocolate donut and her partner had a Boston cream. Both were amazing (in their words). They both highly recommend Ruby's for your next donut craving. Hopefully I can get out of quarantine soon to try some myself. read more

They live up to their reputation of fresh, delicious donuts and fritters. We have to limit how often we let ourselves stop here for a treat :) read more

If you blink you could accidentally miss this hidden gem. Made fresh daily and absolute must to check out!

Simply amazing donuts. They artistically craft seasonal donuts that melt in your mouth. Try their maple or apple flavored donuts. Makes DD seem like a cheap convenience store prewrapped quality piece. I have a condition where I'm suppose to avoid donuts totally, but every 3 or 4 months I drive the 8ish miles to cheat with their pastries, happily driving past DD read more

Having recently moving to Ayer, I found Ruby Donuts. In a world where Dunkin Donuts is king, I prefer the small town feel of this donut shop. I can stop on my way to work. I feel they offer a better variety of donuts and at a better price point. I am a fan of cake (old fashion) donuts, but I do intend to try them all. read more

The donuts are made fresh daily and are the best around! The owner was so nice and made me a special donut being a first time visitor. I will be coming back it is definitely worth of trip from Clinton!! They have coffee and Thai ice tea which I never had before it was awesome please go visit you will not be sorry the donuts and tea was the best ever!! read more

I really like this place. The donuts are amazing and the family that owns it are very kind and do an amazing job. The new hoodies are really cool, I'm going back this weekend to snag one. read more

Very good pastries and muffins. The staff members are always friendly and patient, it's a small store but the way things are arranged it feels quaint. read more

Such a lovely small place. I tried croissant sausage sandwich, kolecha and a Boston cream donuts. Love them. Their buns were super soft.

Amazing donuts, worth the wait. They seem to go fast as there wasn't a huge variety. Will have to go back to try more.

The donuts are amazing and the drinks as well, recommend this location to anyone. Thank you

They have the best donuts. They have a good variety. The fritters and bismarks are delicious. The owners are very friendly.

Stopped in to see Chan for a yummy smoked sausage and cheese Kolache. So good! He also had me try a crunchy donut omgracious delish!! I will be back again! read more

Ruby Donut - Kolache - Donuts Near Me - Ayer, Massachusetts

Smells so good as you enter. Best ice coffee! Best donuts! Croissants are fresh. Love love love this place!

Unbelievable doughnuts. Friendly staff, this place is the best coffee and teas too!!

The most glowing review could not do Ruby Donut justice. These donuts are in an entirely different league. Every donut I try becomes my new favorite, but I generally go for the glazed, coconut, and cake donuts. This place couldn't be more unassuming, but you're not here for the atmosphere--you're here for melt-in-your-mouth, moan-worthy donuts. If you're asking yourself if it's worth the drive, the answer is yes! read more

Friendly owners, they'll let you sample pretty much everything. Fresh donuts with a great variety. My family loves this place

Amazing food and service from a hidden gem. They have the freshest donuts and boba drinks!!! Definitely a great place to go to regularly.

The outside is so unassuming you might just drive by.... but don't!!! These donuts are DEVINE! Super fresh and sooo good. The owner is always so welcoming and helpful. You are missing out if you don't try this place! The fritters are a must have! read more

We had the Boston Cream, Pine Cone, and old fashioned. They were fresh and fantastic.

Puffy soft sugary donuts. Breakfast sandwiches are great as well. Small place. Always friendly service and great price. They have a good variety of donuts you just have to ask about some as sometimes it is not obvious what flavor each one is. Either that or pick randomly and be ready for a surprise apple filling. I appreciate that they do not skimp you on the jelly ! read more

Ruby Donut - Jelly filled donut - Donuts Near Me - Ayer, Massachusetts

My first time trying donuts from here and they were as good as everyone suggests. Very friendly staff. I couldn't make up my mind and asked what flavor a donut was. Very happy to assist me, I was given bite size of different donuts. Of course all were yummy and bought one of each. Went in to get one donut for my mom and walked out with four! Sadly, for my diet, I will surely go back! read more

I don't put a lot of reviews out there, but I had to say something about Ruby Donut shop. We went in @ 2:30 (closing time is 5) looking for Apple cider donuts -they were sold out-however there was still a great selection. We were asked to try a few of the other donuts and I am so glad that we did. These are not your typical chain store run of the mill donuts, they have the homemade quality that typical shops lack. They are soft and fresh. I can't believe we have not stopped in before now. The shop is easy to get to right off route 2 -Jackson Rd/Devens exit. Go now -you will not regret it. read more

I literally havent had a donut in years, no make that decades(unless rare stress eating at work)because I just dont like the way donuts taste when mass produced.So I had to give this donut shop a try due to excellent reviews and no disappointment here;Mega yummy donuts. read more

Warm, freshly made donuts all day. Donuts are perfect in texture, not dense or greasy, and BIG - and when they fill them, they really fill them. And the fillings & glazes are excellent. Glazes aren't those dry, crumbly, sickly-sweet ones - they're soft, smooth & full of flavor. Chocolate glaze really tastes like chocolate vs chocolate-flavored sugar. And, the lemon filling is AMAZING. Owners are wonderful, have often added a free sample or two in our box of things that are new or that we haven't tried yet. Definitely worth running out for a dozen on a cold weekend morning to savor with coffee. They keep better overnight than any others, and Ruby's makes extras the day before a holiday for afternoon pick-ups. We always grab some the afternoon before Thanksgiving & Christmas to make holiday breakfast a real treat. read more

The donuts were delicious. I really enjoyed the apple and raspberry fritters. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We were even treated to a special donut that one of the other customers recommended he should make which is pictured below. read more

Ruby Donut - Donuts Near Me - Ayer, Massachusetts

I hardly ever login to Yelp and review. Ruby's is so good, I came here to make sure the world knew about the greatest glazed donut I ever had today. Light, fluffy with a crispy glaze that absolutely melted in my mouth. Also, they had a spread of freshly made donuts that would stagger you in their sheer beauty. You can tell it's a labor of love and that we are benefitting from a learned donut wizard of some kind. These are the kind of local businesses we should support. I for one will no longer support the big donut chains and make Ruby's a daily stop for myself. GO HERE. read more

Best donuts in the greater area! Shop local at this place, you won't regret it. 100x better than Dunkin's donuts.

Delicious donuts. A nice change from the limited options of donut places, aside from Dunks in Ayer.

This place opened a few months ago. Decent selection of homemade doughnuts, mostly raised or cake, along with some other doughnut shop staples (cinnamon rolls, bear claws, etc.) Flavors are good, price is decent, cash only. Unfortunately I think I got yesterday's (or last week's) doughnuts this morning. Both doughnuts were hard, dry, and stale tasting. I'd expect that at 3 PM, not 7:30 AM. If they've only been open a short time and are already selling stale doughnuts to save money, my bet is they won't last long. read more

We were excited to try this new donut establishment. Brought the kids and ordered eight donuts between the five of us. There was a good selection and the service was kind and efficient. Unfortunately, as much as I wanted to be excited about this place, the donuts were undercooked. I will be back to try them again. And I really hope they redeem themselves. read more

Best donuts in Massachusetts AND for the best price. This place is a hidden gem. We love the old fashioned - crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. We haven't tried a donut we didn't like. read more

Had amazing donuts here! Just happened to stop by because we were driving through the area. We loved the blueberry donut and Fritters are incredible! We went back for seconds! read more
