Donut recommendation from our friend Face in recently-flooded Melrose, Massachusetts:
Kane's Donuts
120 Lincoln Avenue
Saugus, Massachusetts
Kane's has been churning out homemade donuts to Saugonians for over 50 years and has become somewhat of a local legend. While offering standard fare such as jelly-filled and Boston-Creme donuts, Kane's is best known for their more adventuresome varieties like the honey-dipped and the classic Bismark. Half donut - half pastry, the Bismark is loaded with black raspberry filling and smothered in whipped cream, confectioner's sugar, and more raspberry.
In a discovery that nearly caused Blognut to fall out of our chair, Kane's also offers - get ready - a coffee roll measuring 12 inches in diameter!
Blognut has not visited Kane's yet, buts plans on doing so in the near future.

I just stumbled upon your site and I love it! Glad to read about others who have a passion for donuts.
I want to mention another venerable donut shop in Massachusetts - Verna's, located in North Cambridge. A veritable institution! Their donuts are among the best in MA (if not THE best). Close to shutting down for good last month, local citizens rallied and someone is in the process of taking it over and carrying-on the tradition. This article from The Boston Globe in December sums up the shop pretty nicely.

Verna's donuts stand out like a beacon among the bleak landscape defined by Dunkin Donuts in this region. Should the shop close, part of Cambridge's soul will be gone. The place is more than just a donut shop.
Thanks. It's on my list of "Doughnuts I need to eat."
