Donut Villa

Loved this place so much and I’m a brunch fan. Willl definitely be coming back here to try other things. Server was super kind , happy and great vibes. Food was fast, warm, fresh and yummy . Also coffee was perfect , not too dark but not light either. Check them out !

Have been wanting to try it out but have severe gluten and dairy allergy which makes it it difficult to eat out so after speaking to an employee I felt very safe. Had the hamburger on a gluten free dairy free nut safe bread and since their fries are in a shared fryer I had the veggies. Knowing they have a separate grill made me so happy. Best burger in a long time and will definitely going back.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Donut Villa Brunch Club and Bar on Broadway in Arlington, MA, and it was truly an experience like no other. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by the super friendly staff who immediately made me feel welcome and comfortable. The ambiance of Donut Villa effortlessly combines the cozy charm of a classic diner with a modern twist, making it the perfect spot for brunch enthusiasts. The menu is both imaginative and extensive, offering a wide array of delicious options that are bound to satisfy every palate. I started my meal with their mouth-watering pancakes, which were fluffy, perfectly cooked, and served with a delightful selection of toppings. Each bite was a taste of breakfast heaven. However, the true stars of the show were the gourmet donuts and pastries. Each one was crafted with such care and bursting with flavor; it was clear that they take their pastry game seriously. The highlight for me was the unique array of gourmet donut creations. I sampled a few their delicious donuts. Each donut had a distinct flavor profile, beautifully presented, and absolutely delectable. The staff at Donut Villa deserves special mention. They were attentive, cheerful, and went above and beyond to ensure that we received the very best customer service possible. It's rare to find a team so dedicated to making your dining experience memorable, and they did just that. If you're a fan of diners and are looking for a place that offers not just delicious food but also stellar service and a warm atmosphere, Donut Villa Brunch Club and Bar is the place to be. It’s the perfect setting for a casual brunch with friends or a cozy weekend breakfast with family. I can't wait to return and try more items from their irresistible menu!

I've eaten here many times now and have had donuts a few times.I'm updating this review. The last two times we've been here, it's been empty, but the service has been horrible. This time, they served my husband moldy toast. The owners who were once very present are no longer around. The staff jokes around with each other while ignoring customers. I'm very disappointed with the way this restaurant has devolved. The first time I came here, I really enjoyed the eggs Benedict with a side of avocado. The sauce was flavorful, the eggs were poached just right, and the home fries were good (I always order them extra well done). The hash had a strange taste. They offer a flight of Mimosas, and you choose your flavors (mango, passion fruit, dragonfruit, blackberry, strawberry, etc.). The flavoring in the Mimosas is mostly just really sweet. The donuts have been a disappointment. They are too heavy for me.

This place is such a gem right in the center of Arlington. It serves up breakfast & lunch options all day & is perfect for families. The kids' menu was great & the 4 flavor mimosa are a great deal! Plus, this restaurant stays open much longer than others in the area, so its a great dinner spot to hang out. I highly recommend!

Definitely need to be here early for their donuts! We went at around 2pm on a Sunday and half of their donuts are gone. They have many types/ great selection of flavors and apparently everyday they are slightly different. We had omelettes which are great for breakfast/ brunch!

The food was just really terrible 😔 I had the eggs Benedict, the egg whites were undercooked, the hash browns were badly burnt (I like a dark sear, this was too far), and the hollandaise sauce was just flavorless-gritty-orange-goop with a film over the top that lets you know it was sitting under a heat lamp for a while. I won't get into the other food ordered by my kids, but it was all disappointing. Considering there was only one other occupied table, I was surprised our food took 20mins. The restaurant was freezing. Our server was so sweet and great with my kids.

Donut Villa needs a serious wake-up call when it comes to service. The staff consistently demonstrates a lack of attentiveness and care, making it clear they’re only clocking in physically, not mentally. Orders are repeatedly wrong, despite them being beyond basic. If they want to keep customers, they need to reevaluate what service truly means.

Such great service and even better food, The servers were so kind and made sure everything was up to par 10/10 I will definitely be coming back !!

We had brunch as the crowd was thinning down. Portions are huge, so be careful. The southwest omelet that I had was excellent. Excellent Bloody Mary. Connor was very kind but the serving of the food was kinda slow. It took 25minutes for an egg to be served. Great brunch option and Outdoor patio is really good for summer

Just had lunch there. It was so cold in the restaurant that we needed to leave our coats on. It seemed colder inside than outside! I ordered a cheeseburger and the waitress asked what I would like on it. I told her yet my burger came with all stuff I didn't ask for . There were only 8 customers total in the restaurant and it took awhile for the food. Save your money and go some place that is more inviting.

The food was delicious and ready to eat. Our server was friendly and helpful with what we needed and she kept coming back to check to see if anything was needed (which we didn't. The atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable and our seats were far enough from the entrance door on this crisp windy fall day. I was happy that they use paper straws in this restaurant and other members to this restaurant stopped by our table to make sure we were enjoying. I would recommend this place to family or friends who need a recommendation. Great food!

Stopped in before a show. A very diverse and large menu. Service was good and friendly. Love having the all day breakfast option. Food and beverages were very good. Family-friendly spot. Even got a donut to go. Delicious. Large public lot nearby for parking.

Good portions, friendly service but if you are touting yourself as a diner you best improve your home fry game. Underseasoned undercooked with no sign of them ever hitting a grill.

I'm in town visiting from Atlanta and my friend took me here for dinner last night. I was very impressed! I love the diner look and feel, our waitress was fun, but the best thing was my food. I had the chicken philly. My standard go to back home is getting a chicken philly, but Donut Villa blew every place I'd ever been out of the water. It is by far the best chicken philly I've ever had. It was borderline orgasmic. I needed a cigarette afterwards. Highly recommend this place and will definitely come back next time I'm in town!

First time went there, idk what the food had but I had an upset stomach. After a year !! My partner and I decided to order takeout from this place since it wasn't that far from us. SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE WAY THEY PACK THEIR SALMON LOX BAGEL!! Deceased. Lettuce for family of 5 cows! Weird cut on the bagel. Overall horrendous.

Terrible from start to finish! Hostess ignored us when we arrived, watched bus boy douse our table with spray cleaner & left the table wet (our napkins that wrapped the silverware soaked up the water) & he left a pile of French fries under one of our chairs, ordered a corned beef hash omelette but was given their Ruben omelette which the waitress insisted I ordered & then had to wait for a new omelette (my family had finished eating when it finally arrived), everyones' food was cold--cold toast, cold home fries, cold eggs Benedict, no one came to ask if we needed anything, no coffee refill, before I finished someone came to the table & took the bowl of butters without asking. AWFUL! Won't be visiting again!

The food, music, and service is exceptional! Their donuts are made fresh daily and the staff are some of the friendliest folks around. I worked from here using their free wifi and loved the experience. Come by soon!

Tried them again as owner gave me a gift card to make up for last experience. Bacon mushroom omelette was ok except for the toast (toasted on only one side) the packaged butter pats on the table had melted and rehardened. Next time I'll ask for fresh butter.

We stumbled in here after we had biked on the minuteman trail. The ambiance is diner/bar. The server seemed a little swamped. I asked about getting a Boston Cream donut but never got an update if they were available or if there was an alternative. Honestly kind of forgot until the food came that I had asked about the donut. I had a BLT and swapped out fries for sweet potato fries, husband had sliders and kids shared kids mac and cheese. Bacon was good but lettuce was super wet. Sliders were tasty. It had a large section for vegans. I would retry again and try some other things.

Check your takeout order before you leave the restaurant. The first time I tried this restaurant, my experience was exemplary. Great service and great food. I wish I could say it stayed that way, but I've been back at least five times and all five times my order has been wrong. One of those times, one of the waiters ridiculously rude to me for reasons that I've never understood. I ordered a turkey club wrap, which seemed to set him off for some reason. I understood that it was not going to come on bread as a triple-decker, but the fact that I ordered it in a wrap seemed to piss him off. He argued with me in front of customers, walked away from me while I was trying to explain to him that it should have come on a regular wrap - - not a gluten-free wrap. He insisted that they only had gluten-free wraps, but I knew that was not the truth because I had gotten the normal wrap there before. In the end, he realized his mistake and was so ridiculously nice after that that it was even more uncomfortable than when he was being a jerk. After seven months, I returned to try them out again and when I got home my order was wrong again. I've never gone to a restaurant with more inept customer service.

We have been here numerous times since it opened and have not been disappointed. We have brought vegans and vegetarians, and there's something for everyone. They have a whole vegan page in the menu. I typically get the eggs benny and will split something sweet. Today a friend and I shared the donut bread pudding, and it was AMAZING. My four year old likes to eat here too. She's had the Mac and cheese and pancakes. I like that they have special kids cups. Bathrooms are clean here too. A win for everyone.

Past visits have been awesome, but this visit was pretty bad. We came for drinks and appetizers. The cosmo & the watermelon sangria were so poorly made, it was a struggle to drink them. The waiter did ask if my friend wanted it pinker, so she said yes, but that didn't make much of a difference. The steak and cheese rolls, are made of hamburger, which would have been fine if they called them hamburger egg rolls. The meat tasted cheap. I couldn't really taste the cheese. They didn't bring us any plates. I don't think I will be coming back.

Pretty mediocre. Went once before and we remembered it being decent. We went today and were surprised how dead it was for a Sunday morning. Server seemed nice but disappeared for long stretches. I got homemade hash and eggs and a short stack. Pancakes were fine. Hash wasn't great. My wife got a crab cake benedict that was pretty awful and said the crab was like tuna. We weren't in a rush but considering it's a big place and only 6-7 tables were occupied we were surprised the food took a full 45 mins. When you are wondering if a cook is out sick and making excuses for the slow service that's not good. We don't plan to go back.

The place was empty. We have two young kids (18m and 4yr) and the food took more than 45 minutes. The fish was inedible (but was comped, thanks). I ate something else when I got home. My wife's steak tip sub was supposed to be medium rare, came out well done (and cold somehow???). Sticky floors that make a sound as you walk across them. Cracked floor tiles everywhere (how? isn't this place relatively new?) Bugs circling and landing in our water. Reasonably nice staff, but I can't say we'll be back again.

Excellent brunch place. Colin served us and was awesome. We sat outside on their patio in the shade. However, temps continued to rise. Colin offered water when we said no to more coffee. It may not seem like a BIG deal, but we found it thoughtful. They have a large vegan menu so much so that it took us a few minutes to decide. We ordered Tofu Scramble and DVD Scrambled Bowl. The latter was big, so we took half of it home. Both tasted excellent. We will be back.

We absolutely love DVD and the service and selection of breakfast and brunch they offer. Fried pickles? Yes. Mimosa flights? Yes. Vegan and vegetarian options? Yes yes yes! Slightly disinterested teens? They've got those too lol. But it's all good because service is fine and the food is worth any wait you may encounter (because of popularity, not because of teens). It's a good time, come to the diner and you'll see!

DONT COME. We came in ordered our coffe and the waitress didn't revisit our table for 40 minutes then she finally came over to refill or coffe had had been empty for 30 minutes. We continued to wait and our food still wasn't out. When it did come out the food was wrong and cold. Our waitress didn't apologize at all and just sent it back to kitchen we waited 30 more minutes the food comes back out ITS WRONG AGAIN. Not to mention the second time around THE COFFE TASTE LIKE TITOS

It has so much promise as a neighbourhood kid-friendly joint but sadly the service is next level terrible. I've given it a number of chances now - I really want a great place to take my kid! - but on my last attempt, despite the fact there were literally (and I mean literally) more staff than customers, the service was almost entirely absent. They're just.... not available for serving you. Eventually after half an hour waiting and trying to get the attention of staff - when there was only one other table present (which was also complaining about the awful service) - I was able to flag down the manager and pay the check. I won't be putting myself through that again. Which is a shame, as the food is ok.

So we have either eaten or had take out from Donut Villa at least once a week since they opened. Donuts are great. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all good diner food. Now the outdoor tables are out. Perfect place to eat. Puppy friendly too.The staff are great, super friendly and always there if you need them.

wanted it to be great but it was meh. waited 40 minutes for sandwiches; waitstaff never came back to check or fill my coffee cup. Restaurant was not even half full. I'll try for breakfast in a few months when maybe the kinks are worked out with staffing.

I thought the food was great, the manager was so friendly, and the bartender was top notch. Highly recommend this place! Great vibe

Service: trash. Made us wait 20+ minutes after ordering which is completely fine but what irks me is the fact that the server Did Not even give us water.

I have been there multiple times and really want to like this restaurant. It's lively, bright and airy. Unfortunately, the service staff is going to be their downfall. The hostess seems uninterested in customers as they enter. We have sat at the counter for 1/2 and hour without menus or any of the 3 people behind the counter even looking at us. Each time our order has been wrong - we even saw the waitress roll her eyes at us to the person serving us the incorrect order! No one stopped by the table to refill coffee/drinks - and we had a lot of difficulty flagging down wait staff, even at the counter. The food is ok, but not worth the hassle of putting up with the lackluster service. I encourage the Donut Villa management to read all the reviews, across several platforms, and respond with their plan to improve things.

Dropped by this location on a Saturday during the lunch rush and sat at the bar. The place was packed. At first glance, the place seems to have a bit of an identity crisis. It isn't just a diner, it isn't a bar, and it isn't a bakery/donut shop. It's kind of all of those things at once and some of the quality seems undercut because of its broadness. For example, there are 4 different TVs playing sports at all times for some reason. It makes the place noisy visually and sonically. Also, the food is...ok. The hash was tasty (salty, maybe a touch too much acid than I'm used to in a hash but good). My toast came out cold, which was strange for toast. The donut wasn't much to note, which was the saddest part of all because I love a good donut. The glaze was sweet and not heavy but the dough itself was dry and bordered on grocery store quality. I can't say I'd want to return. The place is new so it may be finding it's footing still. But, for a new place, some things feel very dated. For instance, the cappuccino/latte machine was down. Seeing it behind the bar, it is clear the machine is about 10 years old. No wonder it didn't work. In all, this is clearly is an environment that would suit the whole family and it's menu is extensive; there is a whole, surprisingly large vegan menu! It's simply not for me. I like good donuts too much.

I ordered a hamburger medium rare with sweet potato fries and a garden salad. What could go wrong? Everything! The hamburger was cooked to death! Dry, unseasoned and like leather. My request for sautéed onions was met with raw onions on a plain white bun so awful it was inedible! They shocked me with putrid "waffle" looking "fries" so disgusting they were like cardboard! How insulting! Come on! The salad was fresh and the best thing there. The server was nice and the manager took the burger off my bill. Nice. But I would rather have a nice meal! Please, do not insult your customers with crap like that! Thanks for your curtesy and attentiveness which I appreciate.

Word is out that Donut Villa is open! The place was hopping after a soft-opening just 3 days ago. Don't let the name fool you - it's more than donuts. Their menu is extensive with bar, all-day breakfast options and vegan too. We started with a giant grilled cinnamon roll to nosh on while we waited for our dinner. The food is good and plentiful. I ordered the crab eggs Benedict and my friend had a Caesar salad with steak and fries. Staff is still learning, as expected in the first week, but everyone is working hard, friendly and helpful. Good vibes all-around and will come back for more

My group of 6 arrived at 10 AM and were told it was going to be a 25-30 minute wait. I asked how many large groups were ahead of us and was told none. After about 45 minutes my wife went inside to ask how much longer and the hostess said they were cleaning out table off and we would be seated promptly. I got a phone call from the hostess confirming our table was ready. When we got to the table a male manager said that it wasn't our table and that he needed to seat a group of 8 at the table immediately and we would need to wait for the next table. We left. They obviously don't seat based on who comes first and make seating decisions based on party size (6 vs 8 means more $$) and group makeup (we had 2 kids vs the group of 8 all adults= more money/alcohol potential). No apologies, rude manager, overall terribly upsetting and unprofessional experience. We will not be going back....EVER. I don't care how good everyone says they may be. This experience speaks volumes about them as a business and they dont deserve my patronage....nor anyone else's.

Ordered the villa burger and it was pretty good! Friend Bernie who I met in Seattle a few years ago who loves to hike got the chicken and waffles enjoyed them. Great vibes and atmosphere. Service was good and was super easy to get in. Good outside space too!

Donut update! OK, so I stopped in for take out this time. Staff member at the front who took my order was really upbeat and gave me a seat at the bar. At 12:30 PM on Monday the restaurant was half full. The bartender was also high energy and personable despite my not ordering from her and taking up one of her seats for ten minutes. I ordered the donut burger with no cheese and a tiramisu donut. My family had been talking about trying the donut burger for a while and we figured we would split it. 4/4 agree it's absolutely delicious . It was juicy, cooked a perfect medium, and the donut "bun" added a small amount of sweetness. It is possibly the most decadent food I have ever eaten in my life. I don't recommend eating one every day but if you're looking to indulge, try the donut burger! Everyone in my family also gave the tiramisu donut five stars, and that's saying a lot because we are a household of tiramisu lovers.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Reasonable prices, beautiful design, kind and quick wait staff, and amazing food!! I thought the prices were a bit high at first but when you see the volume of food.... well worth the price. Maybe share a dish or get ready to bring home some hefty leftovers. Will be returning!

I'm impressed that a restaurant can be this good when just opening and staff still learning. I've been twice for breakfast and once for takeout. The food is very good. My spouse loved his black bean burger. I've had great French toast, waffles, and Jersey ham. The coffee is good diner coffee. I had a descent salad with chicken for takeout and great French fries. The staff is so good with Erin and Johnny being great managers. Colin is a fantastic waiter. Can't wait for the outdoor dining in the spring. The place is so clean you could eat off the floor. The grand opening was packed with lots of free food and kids decorating donuts. Give it a try. I always think it's best to try a place during off hours. A Sunday night might be a good time.

Have this place a try because it was close by and had a large outdoor space - perfect for a nice spring day. The food was pretty bland. The veggie burger was mushy. They asked if we wanted onions on the sliders, and it came as a pile of onions on the side. Weird. What was ridiculous is a couple of the items on the bill were not the same price as in the menu, off by at least 2 bucks. Their reasoning is they had changed the menu - but still had old menus in circulation. They didn't honor the price on the menu!

What a great place to grab a drink with your family and friend, the bar is enormous and it has a very relaxing vibe. good drinks and good food, what else can you want from a place like this. To me that is just perfect and the fact that there is plenty of parking helps

Don't be fooled by the name, there's much more than donuts here. There's delicious dinner food with the bonus of beer and cocktails. The staff was friendly, efficient and courteous without being naggingly frequent like some places. I'll definitely be back.

Been twice with family now, great both times! Servers are kind and food is out quickly and hot. Every time I've been the customer service has been fantastic. I will say it's more of a sit down ear then go kind of place then a take your time eat and talk for a while kind of restaurant, if that's what you're looking for.

I sat at the bar. Stools are way too low. Ordered breakfast. The potatoes were stone cold, and the " dude" who delivered my food was like so kewl. The toast comes toasted on one side. The coffee though is good. Now I'll sit here and wait to pay. I should just bolt, but that's not my style.

This is an update to my original review. The service has deteriorated to the extent that even when the restaurant is empty, it is difficult to get your server's attention. The food is inconsistent. Twice, half of the meal was served completely cold while half of it was hot. The coffee was so bad that my husband couldn't drink it. Today, they served my husband moldy toast. It had big spots of green mold on it. The person who prepared the toast must have seen the mold on it, yet decided to serve it anyway. When we finally got the server's attention, she did apologize but made a joke about mold being penicillin. They did not discount the meal. The owners used to be very present and friendly, but they are not visible anymore. There needs to be better training of the staff and supervision. The restaurant has fine decorations and good options on the menu, but we will not be returning

Me and a couple friends came in for an early dinner and some drinks and ended up grabbing a seat at the bar. The bartender Molly was very friendly and highly knowledgeable about the menu and drink options. I ended up with the Norwegian Benny and a praline donut, both were phenomenal and I'll definitely be going back next chance I get!

The service was excellent. The food was great and drinks as well. And the raspberry filled donut to finish it off was definitely the icing on the cake...delicious. A definite go to!

I love everything about this place and can't wait to go back. The menu has everything you could possibly want and more. The staff is super friendly and attentive which is really important. Food was absolutely delicious.

We were a large group on the patio with adults and young children. Samantha was an incredible server especially considering the large party and dietary restrictions. The pizza donut, chicken parm, vegan breakfast sandwich, breakfast burrito, vegan waffle and especially the french fries were all top notch. Def recommend getting donuts for the road. We love you Donut Villa and will absolutely be back!

I'd come here just for the music Huge menu, breakfast all day! Nice bartender. And the donuts. Well. They are something.

Our waitresses completely forgot about inputting our order so we sat there for an hour without any food coming out - and the restaurant was empty. My husband ordered an old fashioned and they forgot to add bitters. So he ordered an IPA and it was completely expired. They comped one of our dinner but that was it. I will never go back to this restaurant.

I'll update the review when they have been open longer. Right now, they have serious service problems. Worst service of any restaurant I have been in recently. Sat for 30 minutes before even drink order was taken. Water glass never refilled even when it wasn't busy. Food was okay, not bad but not outstanding. Menu has plenty of vegan offerings, which is why this is a two star review and not a one star review. I think the bartender in particular needs more supervision because I saw some disturbing behavior. I'll go back if they can work out the kinks.

I really want to like this place - have been multiple times. Food has been mediocre, and the service is quite slow, even on a weekday night when it was quiet. Hoping they can improve.

I went to restaurant for a late snack after attending a show at the Regent. I asked the server if it was possible to get ice cream . The server suggested I get a frozen custard at Abbotts. The restaurant should offered ice cream i asked for ice cream not frozen custard. The menu could be more flexible. There is still a lack of wait staff.
