Food Review: Kane’s Donuts

Kane’s Donuts in Saugus (MA) is the real deal!

I used to be a Daddy’s Donuts junkie before it closed its doors a few years back. They had a great honey dip stick and a pretty solid blueberry donut. Since then I’ve mainly been patronizing Honey Dew Donuts simply because I find Dunkin’ Donuts to be extremely lackluster. DD is the hallmark of meh doughnuts, in fact. Honey Dew is a bit better than Daddy’s was…I find the honey dip stick to be pretty filling and it has a nice amount of glaze. There is certainly the question of freshness in my mind when I eat it. Any questions or concerns I had were eliminated when I took my first bite of a Kane’s old fashioned glaze stick. It was as fresh as you can possibly imagine, overflowing with glaze, and very soft on the inside all around. Sometimes with Honey Dew I find the batter to be a bit hard on the inside. Not at all with Kane’s. I had a circular honey dip in addition to the old fashioned stick and it was awesome as well! Ten thousand times better than DD and much much better Honey Dew.
