Donut King

Donutss are a guilty pleasure of mine and I love a good on. A Dunkin Donut fills the need but is just ok (unless you go to the Rt 18 S Weymouth one where they are very good!).
I have been to Donut King when I have Saturday meetings to bring donuts for the crew. This is what a donut shop should be. They can’t even fit all 12 donuts in the box they are so big. Everything is fresh and, I’m sure, as unhealthy as can be. If you are going to splurge for something unhealthy, at least make it delicious. This is the place!

Good place, I try to limit my visit to once every 6 months. One tip is that if you wake up late and they sell out, head over to Montilio’s on Adams St. or stop there first — they get a dozen or so every day from Donut King, I think to sell and usually have them still into the afternoon.

Best donuts around. Jelly stick, honey dip, boston crème, etc.
Donuts are twice the size of Dunks and better tasting. I’m pretty particular about my coffee, and this place ain’t Starbucks, but its better than the sugar water DD serves up.
Gets 5 stars cuz it’s an old fashion donut shop with BOMB donuts and you can’t play KENO and buy lotto tix at DD or Marylou’s!

Meh, I’ve been in a handful of times and have just had a so-​so experience each time. The coffee was ok, the baked goods were ok. Nothing mind blowing, I prefer Dunkin overall, especially since the Dunks down near Quincy Adams has pretty great customer service usually. The staff here are not very friendly. I got the feeling that they have to know you to be nice to you, which is pretty off putting when you’re not a regular. Guess they have enough regulars that they don’t need to win over new people.
They have a tiny parking lot, which means most people park on the street/​sidewalk or across the street at Copeland. It can make driving around here in the morning annoying.

Best donuts in Quincy and I bet most of the South Shore!

We stopped in for the first time today and I was beyond impressed. The ladies are super nice. Food was so fresh! The coffee was so much better than the chains like dunkin donuts. Great place!

Just love this place… from the warm welcome to the warm donuts… there is no place better.

Best donuts anywhere around!
By the way, the things that Dunks and Honeydew sell are NOT donuts.

I would give this place zero stars if I could. I did not try the donuts due to the extremely rude woman who helped us. We walked in and were getting our bearings when a woman approached and asked if we needed help. It sounds all good, except for the fact that she yelled at us more than asked and turned to her co-​worker and proceeded to yell at her too — about us. I told her that I was still looking, at which point she points to my boyfriend and says «What about you — do you need help» still sounding bothered to have to deal with us at all. He chuckled and proceeded to ask a couple of questions about the donuts. The woman responded as if it was criminal to ask a question. At that point I’d had enough. If it is bothersome for us to patronize your business — patrons we will not be! And with that — we left.

Let me start by saying if I could give a –5 to the business, I would. My girlfriend and I decided we would search Unilocal for the best donuts in the Quincy, MA area. So, we happened upon King Donut. Given that we are out of towners, we had questions about the selection. Before I could ask a question about the selection, a blond middle-​aged lady working the counter was engaged in a unprofessional exchange with a fellow employee. After the exchange finished, I asked her what the difference was between a maple dipped and glazed donut… You would’ve thought I had yelled an obscenity at her by the way she rudely replied. Needless to say, we quickly exited the building and made a point to write a Unilocal review to merited the service we received. To the blond middle age lady working the counter on the day we entered your place of business, YOU ARE THE WORST!

The donuts here are just TOO. DARN. GOOD.
Before I discovered Donut King, I would never eat donuts, as I know they aren’t the healthiest of foods… but now that I have experienced the heavenliness of Donut King’s donuts — I’m truly addicted!
All the donuts here are great, but my absolute fave is the honey dipped jelly. First of all, it’s HUGE, the consistency and abundance of the glaze is on point, and the amount of jelly filling (read: A LOT!) is just everything I would ever want in a filled donut.
The non-​donut bakery item that you *MUST TRY* if you go here is the lemon poppyseed muffin top. This muffin top is so good that I don’t even want to tell other Unilocalers about it, because I want more for me! (They sell out fast!) True to Donut King, their muffin tops are also HUGE, and the lemon poppy seed is perfectly flavored, soft, and moist. Did I mention that they’re glazed? Did I mention that they also have a lemon curd-​type filling on top?! BOOM — mind is BLOWN.
The prices here are excellent, and the women who work here are wonderful! Their iced coffee can be hit or miss, but if you like donuts and other baked breakfast items, check this place out!
P. s. this place is CASH ONLY.

I don’t always eat donuts, but when I do…
Okay, that joke’s so 2007 (or 2008 or something)!
As my aunt once said, «you can’t make donuts without trans fat.» I’m not positive that they still do, but Donut King provide larger, cheaper, and tastier donuts than DD by a mile. This local hole-​in-​the-​wall dominated by townies is worth a trip if you’re a fan of donuts.
I like the honey dip and old fashioned donuts the most here. Yeah, they’re simple but DK is better when they make the basics. The honey dip isn’t too sweet and the donut’s light texture is excellent. The old fashioned is full of sweet flavor with a nice spicy undertone. Opposite of the honey dip, the old fashioned is cake-​y and more dense.
The filled donuts (raspberry, lemon, bavarian) are okay but not my favorite. The problem is that, while they’re gigantic, they can somewhat lack in flavor. You sometimes end up eating a lot of doughy nothing before you get into the filling.
The muffins are underwhelming in the face of the titular baked goods. They’re okay, but when you compared them to donuts, they’re easily overshadowed.

Love this place! I found it when I woke up one Sunday morning at 8 am craving a donut. I told them it was my first time and didn’t know what to get. Everyone there greeted me and told me which donut to get this time (jelly filled honey dipped) and which to get next time (honey dipped). I like that it is old fashion and has classic donut flavors none of this «sesame sriracha» crap. If a donut is made properly it doesn’t need to hide behind fancy names and odd flavor combinations. I love items that are simple but each step is perfectly done. That’s what you get here, classic flavors done right and a smiling crew that greets you every time!

Darn… I guess all good things come to an end. These guys used to be one of the last breakfast joints that made bacon from scratch when you ordered a bacon egg and cheese sandwich. Last time I went there the bacon was precooked on a sheet tray and the difference came out in the taste. I was bummed and still am. I hope they get back to cooking the bacon from scratch and making the place smell of wonderful bacon when you ordered one with a hangover :-D
That said, the fig bars are still the bomb and I still order them here. I had to knock it down a star since I ate here about three times in the past year and every time is the same… sheet tray pre-​cooked bacon. I understand why restaurants cook bacon on a sheet tray in bulk because it takes a long time to render down the delicious meat strips… but there is a reason why people don’t cook bacon in the oven at home… because it sucks.

Oh Donut King, I have a feeling you may bring me to my demise. Living in MA for less than a year and never craving donuts, I had no idea what or where to go if that craving ever came along. Welcome to being 6 months pregnant and obsessing over trying to find an apple fritter and refusing to go to Dunkin Donuts (gross)-I did some research and a co-​worker referred me here. I called ahead and DK staff were nice enough to offer to hold the last two fritters for me! After showing up, I was greeted by the friendliest staff and was MAJORLY impressed with their eclectic and authentic selection of LEGIT donuts and other assorted baked goods. Now if only I can submit my post pregnancy gym bill…

It’s hard to find true doughnuts these days but Donut King is a staple in Quincy, Mass. Get here early for the best selections. My favorite is the honey dipped apple filled donut, but since they always run out of those first– the cinnamon apple is also good. Regular honey dip is classic and still is moist and delicious the next day! If you can wait, the donuts are discounted in the afternoon but all the good flavors are gone.

Locals recommended us that spot and it was worth it! We picked several donuts out of the huge variety. The service, price and most important the taste of the huge donuts is fantastic.
Love them!

Love these doughnuts! I prefer the soft donuts: Boston cream, cinnamon roll, twist, lemon and Bavarian cream. I have tried the old-​fashioned style donuts and I just can’t feel the love there. You really can’t keep me from this place! They are huge donuts and at a fantastic price! The service is always fast and so helpful. When I come I always see a lot of locals which is great!

Decent doughnuts, large in size,
Eat too many, they’ll go to your thighs.
Classic styles and classic toppings,
If you’re driving by it’s sure worth stopping.
This place has larger-​than-​average doughnuts. They were very doughy; I like my doughnuts with a bit of an exterior crisp. There were no crazy flavors or toppings. All classic doughnuts that you would find in an old time bakery such as Boston Cream, Glazed, Frosted, etc. It was nostalgic.
The place was mobbed but the staff still kept their cool and were very pleasant. Coffee wasn’t great. Also got a ham, egg, & cheese for the lady and she said it seemed just thrown together without enough egg and ham to fill the bagel.
All in all, the doughnuts weren’t extraordinary, but I’d put this place a step ahead of Dunkin. When I eat a good doughnut I tend to sing with joy, and there were no melodies coming from my mouth after sampling my 3 doughnuts here.

This Donut King is a perfect example of how donuts should be… phresh, phat, phucking delicious and aphordable.
Huge selection — Super fresh (daily made) — Daily specials — Indoor seating — Coffee in styrofoam cups — A little dirty (but in a good way) — Insanely nice staff — Smells gooood
They open early and close early. Get you some .
Note: cash only (ATM on local)
