"This decades-old Malden breakfast-and-lunch spot was revitalized when the owner, Erin Bashllari, and his parents took over in 2017. It’s known for hand-cut daily doughnuts, over-the-top doughnut dishes (doughnut cheeseburgers, doughnut French toast, doughnut Benedict), and a recently introduced full vegan menu that includes vegan doughnuts. The shop emphasizes nostalgic diner charm with vintage signage and a broad roster of doughnut flavors — the honey dip is the top seller, alongside filled and specialty varieties like Nutella-hazelnut with Bavarian cream, Samoa, black raspberry jelly, and pistachio." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
