Donut Villa

"Donut Villa Diner, one of Greater Boston’s top doughnut shops, just brought its doughnut cheeseburgers and Bloody Marys to Newtonville. As it grows, Donut Villa Diner continues to up the ante: While the decades-old Malden original serves only breakfast and lunch, last year’s Cambridge expansion added dinner and booze. Location number three, which opened early this week at 344 Walnut St., Newton, keeps the full liquor license and dinner menu while adding new menu items like crab cakes and hanger steak and dropping a word from the name: It’s simply “Donut Villa,” here. Some things don’t change, though; you’ll still find dozens of outstanding doughnuts, from a powdered doughnut filled with lemon cream to the bestselling honey dip, as well as gluten-free and vegan options and the aforementioned creations like doughnut cheeseburgers and doughnut French toast. You’ll also find 85 seats inside, plus 80 more outside when the patio opens. Donut Villa is currently open 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday." - Adam H. Callaghan
