Mike's Donuts

"Craving a morning donut or bagel? Mike’s has you covered, offering an array of breakfast items at an affordable price. Service is fast, and the breakfast sandwiches come with an optional hash brown inside. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available, and a newsstand inside sells an assortment of national, regional and neighborhood newspapers to mull over while drinking a cup of joe." - Maya Homan

"Mike’s Donuts has been a staple of Mission Hill since the 1950s. A fresh, hot honey dipped from Mike’s is tough to beat, citywide. Bonus: Whenever you order multiple doughnuts, Mike’s employees include a couple of doughnut holes on the house." - Terrence Doyle

"Hipster doughnut shops are fine (and can even be transcendent), but I don’t always need a doughnut to be the size of a small birthday cake because sometimes I want to eat three doughnuts, not half of one doughnut. I also don’t need rocket fuel in place of coffee. Mike’s Donuts on Mission Hill makes normal-sized doughnuts, and the coffee is weak-ish, which is what I want when I’m eating doughnuts — if heart palpitations are inevitable (and they are when consuming fatty, fried pastries), I don’t need to exacerbate them with a venti quadruple red-eye lattecino. Mike’s is basically Dunkin’ Donuts but good. It’s a tight space, so we’ve limited our trips in the era of COVID-19. But I’m glad it’s still open and there whenever I crave an unfussy, excellent doughnut or three. —TBD Currently offering takeout. Order: (617) 427-6828" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle
