    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.

    Dozen assorted donuts

    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.

    Best donuts around. If you eat these it will spoil you for all the chain donut shops around. Made on site and super fresh.

    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

    Donut Shack in Lowell is an absolute hidden gem and I am still thinking about these donuts…read more First, a heads up: this place is not easy to find. They share a door with a barbershop and the storefront is tiny. From what I understand, they mostly sell wholesale to other restaurants, but they open up a small window of sales to walk-in customers. When they are sold out, they are done for the day, so get there early! Now for the donuts. Delicious, delicate, and honestly some of the best I have ever had. 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. A few things to know before you go: it is cash only, the space is small with just a few tables and chairs, and they sell out fast. But it is absolutely worth the effort. Support this business. You will not regret it.

    I cannot say enough good things about Donut Shack!! My husband and I have been going here for years…read moreand it is still as amazing as it was the first time. Their donuts aren't crazy flavors they are classics and I wouldn't ask for anything else. Big, fluffy, and delicious. As someone who has gone to a ridiculous amount of donut shops I can tell you two things: their donuts are delicious and their prices are very reasonable!! I wish we still lived down the street, we'd be there way more often!!

The underlying donut was somewhat firm (a minus) and cool to the touch (a minus)-- most likely refrigerated, as this was a late spring visit on a warm day. Bready, briochy taste to the donut, with no sweetness (neither plus nor minus), letting the toppings and fillings handle that. Plenty of yellow vanilla pudding inside (a plus for quantity). No seating inside (a minus) but a single metal table outside that looks like it hasn't been cleaned in weeks (big minus). Filled with pollen. I do like the selection (big plus) and the crazy flavors will appeal to a wide range of tastes, but there are places where you can still get a fresh donut and sometimes even a warm one. Rocco's doesn't seem to be one of them. Not bad by any means but not screaming out for a revisit.
