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.

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!!

Still cranking out quality donuts after three years in the middle of nowhere. The donuts are a little smaller than most, but priced accordingly, so get extra to get both variety and a bargain. Honey Dipped: Light and lightly glazed, it's fluffy but leaning on the dry side. Keep reading to see my strategy for this. Boston Cream: Rounder and much thicker than most, it packs more filling than most, and has just enough extra golden crispness that it adds a beautiful contrast to the creamy interior. Pine Cone: Same donut dough, but arranged with a bunch of protrusions that grab the honey dip glaze a lot more effectively than the honey dipped donut. And because it's thicker, it's fluffier, bouncier, and more moist too. And because it's the same price as a donut and can be had in dozens or half dozen is just like a doughnut, it's the thing to get instead of honey dipped. Raspberry Bismarck: This is more of an elegant pastry, made with real whipped cream and a raspberry filling that's fresh tasting and had some crunch to it from the seeds. A premium item but a worthy occasional splurge. Twist: Fortunately for us, these plump beauties are the best thing Chan Chan the Donut Man does. (Unfortunately for Chan, his wife thinks so too.) They have a nice fluffiness and a nice pull to them. Really excellent stuff. Another premium item that's well worth the upgrade over the standard donut. Bear Claw: Imagine a shiny honey-golden baseball glove filled with hot apple pie filling. Imagine it glistening, sticky, and piping hot out of the fryer, about 7:30 each morning for your eating enjoyment. Imagine you're there at 7:31. I think you know how this story ends. Coffee: Not the greatest (let's be honest, not even the goodest), but you're here for the donuts. Make that twists and bear claws. I repeat: twists and bear claws.

I had an outer body doughnut experience today. Had their raspberry, whipped cream filled (can't remember what it's called) heavenly creation. Fresh, moist and just the right amount of sweetness. They make all their doughnuts there and it shows. Zero ambiance, but 10/10 for doughnuts! They also make a great sausage bun! read more

My kids and I stopped by Ruby's Donuts yesterday after it was recommended by a friend. I have grown up absolutely loving donuts and have missed homemade donuts. This spot is absolutely the real deal. You can taste how fresh and fluffy Ruby's Donuts are. The owner allowed us to try a variety of donuts since it was our first time there. Their apple fritter donut was unbelievable especially as I do not like apple flavored pastries. He allowed us to try almost every donut and we did not have a single one we didn't like. We then bought a dozen donuts (some we hadn't tried) and some of their pastries. Again, every single one was delicious. If you are visiting the area or are a local, you have to stop by this place. I promise that I am not exaggerating. I do not write reviews usually (this is the third review I have written on google) but Ruby's Donuts is a place that should be well known by everyone! read more

We happened to drive by this place earlier this week and after seeing the reviews on yelp, I decided that we should take an early morning trip to pick up some donuts. The donuts definitely were worth getting up early for. When the man working there realized we'd never been there before, he gave us samples of some he thought we would like. They like everything else we bought were delicious. We normally prefer yeast donuts but the cake donuts were really good. They were very light and fluffy.

These are not your average gas station donuts. You can taste the care and craftsmanship in every bite. But what really blew me away was the hospitality. I had already picked out 8 donuts when I was told it was cash only. I had none on me, but offered to run out and come back if she could hold my box. Without hesitation, she handed me the box and told me to pay whenever I could. She was completely serious. That kind of trust and generosity is rare and it genuinely made my day.

We went a while back, having seen it posted online. Someone was raving about how good the donuts were so we took a drive to give it a try. When we walked in, the man behind the counter was so nice. He was letting us try samples, recommending his favorites, and was all around warm and inviting. We got donuts, bear claws, and fritters. They were all great but oh my god the fritters were soooooooooo good! You can tell it's real ingredients too, everything tastes fresh. Got the bubble tea another time and that was really good too. Sweet without being overbearing. The plaza itself doesn't look like much, but don't be fooled. Ruby's is really worth the travel. read more

I had some family members bring me some Ruby donuts today!! In my family I am kind of known for loving donuts. My aunt's boyfriend had mentioned that they were being brought to a college campus, so the workers had given him 3 more boxes of donuts! They are absolutely amazing. I had an apple cider donut, and it completely hit the spot! Then had a boston creme and it was the BEST boston creme donut I've ever had. My roommate tried the chocolate frosted and jelly and said they were delicious!!! When driving through Ayer, Massachusetts be sure to check this place out!! read more

Seriously the best donuts in the area. If you stop by and the apple fritters are warm...buy one..they are amazing. Super fresh and a delicious alternative to the dry offerings of the chain coffee shops in the area. read more
