A step above Dunkin Donuts. I was in search of a good donut place as Linda's donuts in Belmont was closed for vacation. Should of gone to Tewksbury instead. The trip was not worth the donuts. Dry and not much taste. The only decent thing I got was ice coffee. Will not be back again read more

This place sells donuts? I just thought they sold empty metal racks. What time do you have to get there to buy donuts? I've been there as "late" as 10:00 am and they have 5 donuts left on the rack. And they close at 6 pm! What the heck are they selling from the hours of 8:00 am (when they sell out) until 6:00 pm? Kudos to them for being an independent donut shop, and their donuts are better than Dunkin's, but jeez try to have some donuts on the shelf for at least some of your hours of operation. I've done a "revolving door" (walk in and then walk right out) with this place no less than 3 times! read more

I have nothing bad to say about Demet's. Their coffee is amazing and they have a great flavor selection. Their breakfast sandwiches are SO good! And the donuts are slammin'. I'd recommend getting your breakfast sandwich with double egg & add hashbrows. Seriously so yummy and filling compared to the dinky breakfast sandwiches i've gotten elsewhere. read more

Absolutely the best donuts (homemade in the back), real egg on their breakfast sandwiches. Awesome stuff, with the best hot or iced coffee. It's old school comfort food. The owner is always willing to add new items to the menu and ask their customers opinions. The staff is top notch, super polite and friendly. The tables are always clean and the long lines in the AM go by really fast. That is efficiency at its best. If you are in the area, do not pass up a chance to visit Demets. Ask about their Demets Special, its the best donut around. read more

Really impressed with everything I have tried so far. At first glance Demets looks like a Dunkin knockoff, but don't let that fool you. The donuts are made in house everyday! They are fluffy, moist, and flavorful, and everything that Dunkin is not! The coffee is also great, and they have some unique flavor shots you can add as well. The breakfast sandwhiches are pretty yummy as well. Just don't forget to bring cash!! The service is always quick, and very friendly, which makes a huge difference in my book! read more

Demet's Donuts - Wow, what fantastic donuts! Fresh & flavorful! Glazed Jelly and Coconut Chocolate were both amazing! - Donuts Near Me - Medford, Massachusetts

Their donuts and breakfast sandwiches are so good! The only reason they have 4 and not 5 stars is that they only take cash as a form of payment. read more

I didn't get here until 2:30pm so there were only the leftovers. I decided to get a sampling of all the ones I could get except the jelly because I don't like jelly donuts even if they're the best. They were all very crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside...very messy! The chocolate old fashioned was a little too sweet for me, but it was also the most exiting out of all of them (I told you there was nothing left). I enjoyed the coconut the most...the plain old fashioned was eh you know....plain and super dry. I look forward to trying the other softer varieties at the top of the mornin', during my next trip to Boston. read more

See all

The donuts are delicious! They specialize in traditional donuts! We had the jelly, chocolate glazed, coconut, chocolate coconut , sugar, and coffee roll! Everything had excellent fresh flavor and a little crunch on the outside of the donuts! read more

Demet's Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Medford, Massachusetts

Best donuts I've had in Boston so far. Right across from my car dealership which is a bonus. My only question is why no plain vanilla donuts? Why is a plain vanilla donut in Boston impossible to find? Well, you ask and ye shall receive. The employee went right in the back and made one fresh for me. Such a nice lady. Donuts are huge and reasonably priced. read more

Excellent donuts and breakfast sandwiches. Real eggs and cheese. Always go for the bacon extreme breakfast sandwich with the hash browns.

I decided to come here a couple days after going to Union Square Donuts in Somerville. Demet's has been around for a while but I feel like it's over looked a bit because it looks like a run down Dunks. I had gotten the chocolate glazed donut and the chai latte. The donut was fluffy, not greasy and I probably could have eaten 2 more. The chai latte was frankly better than Starbucks, and I'm obsessed with their chai. Every time I need a donut fix, I'll come here. read more

Demet's Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Medford, Massachusetts

I haven't had all of their doughnuts, but the ones that I have were pretty darn good. Excellent coffee, too.

I just had the BEST egg and cheese (on a bagel) that I've ever had. The egg was so fresh, and the cheese wasn't overpowering. Their coffee is flavorful. It is well worth the little extra to seek out Demet's (rather than settle for the chain donut shop down the street). Oh, and the donuts and muffins are great, too! Did I mention the friendly service? The ladies behind the counter are always courteous and smiling. read more

Huge yummy hand cut doughnuts! I can't believe that I have been working in Medford for years and just discovered this place. I got there at 9:30 and they were almost out of doughnuts. I had a great breakfast sandwich and iced coffee and they best boston cream doughnut that I have ever had. A dozen doughnuts is $5.95 and they are really big compared to any others that I have had. read more

When my wife and I lived in Malden, we used to frequent Demet's 5 or 6 times a week. The awesome staff used to have our drinks working as soon as we walked through the door. Not to mention that the breakfast sandwiches are second to none. They only use fresh eggs and they make any other "fast food" breakfast place look awful. And lets talk donut's, they are made daily and often you have to get there early to get the good pick! The next morning that you have a minute, go in and see the the crew at Demet's grab some quality grub!!! read more

My wife and I took a day off from work after our wedding and decided to try this place out before heading to the bank. What a find! It's a breath of fresh air in a world dominated by Dunkin' Donuts. Great donuts, good coffee, and timeless appeal. I hope places like this never disappear. read more

Breakfast sandwich allstar is the everything bagel with bacon egg and cheese and a hashbrown on top. also throw in a jumbo iced coffee and you have a one two hangover punch for the ages. dont sleep on demets read more

Some donut places use donut mixes, but these donuts taste like they're made from scratch. And the honey-dipped donuts really taste like honey. They're so good you might think they have less calories than they actually do. read more

Their donuts are amazing! The staff is sometimes not very polite and they only take cash, which is why I would not give them a full five stars, but other than that this is such a lovely neighborhood spot. read more

I heard about this place recently and since I was heading to tufts area i figured that i would seek it out. I knew basically how to get there but haven't done a lot of driving in this area, mystic ave, so it took a few attempts to find it. It was easiest when I simply followed mystic ave around tufts instead of cutting through somerville, i couldn't seem to find mystic ave or stay on it... So i found it, and as i pulled in a medford cop was walking to his car with coffee in hand - setting the scene. As I entered the counter and display is to your left and there are booths to your right, along the window. There were a handful of people sitting and talking, average age was 65. This place reminds me of the something from the 70's - definitely a place that is a piece of history. It was late in the day so there were not a lot of options, to be expected, but I was lucky to find a chocolate coconut and a glazed cake. I saved them for the next day's breakfast. I was very happy - these don't appear to be mass produced - so tasty. They are the classicaly, good cake donuts which are moist, rich, dense and delicious. If I lived or worked i would stop here on the weekends or if I needed a pick-me-up. I will come back to try others when I am in the area or need something sweet, I am curious about their glazed, raised donuts - expectations are high. I am glad that a place like this is supported and successful and hope that the future business model is one that is similar to this - handcrafted products that are made with love. read more

Great local donut place. The blueberry cake donut is the way to go. Nice sized iced coffees too. Always good for a quick breakfast sandwich that does not look like it was just thawed and re-heated. read more

This place is great. I was driving down the street when I saw the sign, and was instantly drawn in. The service is fast, the workers are incredibly kind, and the food was outstanding. I had an ultimate breakfast sandwich and a lemon filled donut. They were both very fresh and delicious. I cannot recommend Demet's enough!! read more

Fast and friendly service, coffee is always fresh, breakfast sandwiches are superb, donuts are good, and the price is right. What more can you ask for from a donut shop? read more

Awesome local donut shop. Family owned and operated, I love to patronize local business in my area. Even if they didn't offer a product far superior to DD, I would still go out of my way for one of their donuts. However, the fact of the matter is that they bake their delicious donuts daily. It's always a good sign, albeit frustrating sometimes, when you come here later in the morning, most of the donuts are sold out. I highly recommend if you are in the area. Or if you aren't in the area, go out of your way. You will be happy that you did. read more

Good iced coffee and a breakfast sandwich with a seasoned hash brown in it. A little expensive for a smallish sandwich but tasty none the less. Walked in on a Thursday morning around 10am and the place was pretty packed. Bumped into a friend of mine and sat at the counter. Asked him what was up with all of these people in the booths. He said they are all from the North End. Really? It did sorta feel like a scene out of a Scorsese movie with all of the pinky rings and hand gesturing. Hey I got a ton of vowels in my last name so I can say it without prejudice. lol.. Didn't get a chance to try the donuts but will vieni qua soon... read more

Dunkin Donuts has nothing on Demets. This family shop takes a donut and turns it into a passion. The effort this shop puts into satisfying its customers is frankly impossible to beat. Their coffee is always fresh, and you can add any variety of flavors to it. Ask for the popular donuts: eclair, boston creme, jelly, you name it. George, the owner, was kind enough to ring us up on our first visit and gave us a great introduction :) read more

Great donuts... we will never be going to dunkin again after having these hand crafted and tasty treats!

My SO and I have been going to Demet's regularly since June, and it continues to grow on me. I can vouch for the claims of delicious donuts, breakfast sandwiches with real(!) eggs, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. Some specific kudos: - SO and I bought a maple bar this morning and EVERY bite had cream in it. If you get there before the Boston Kremes run out, those are delicious and always seem to be super-fresh. - Staff are not just polite, but proactive; if an employee sees you heading to the bathroom, they will punch in the key code for you if they're nearby. Also, a gentleman who I assume is the manager stopped by our table to ask us if everything was all right, which is above and beyond for a casual, counter-service breakfast shop. My only caveats are as follows: - A lot of donut flavors run out fast, so if selection matters to you, get there early! - It is cash-only, which isn't an issue if you know that ahead of time. They have an ATM there, but there is a transaction fee to use it. - The Demet's mascot looks like the Forever Alone guy. Then again, some people might see that as an asset. Y'know, different strokes and such... read more

Everything about this coffee shop reminded me of Dunkin' Donuts. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that great, and the parking situation was awful. You basically have to go out via part of the sidewalk and the parking was very limited. I really liked the honey bran muffin, especially when they heated it up and put butter on it. Yum. The coffee I got was very weak (vanilla spice) and after a few sips didn't taste like anything special. Prices were okay and service was just fine. I wouldn't want to deal with the place during a busy time of day though. read more

SO happy it is finally getting warmer out because I'm in love with their flavored iced coffees. SO much better than Dunks. Definitely worth a try. read more

In my never-ending search for authentic donuts (sorry, Dunkin, yours are all from a central kitchen and only baked on the premises) here is one more place for us fanatics to feast on jelly crullers, old fashioneds and other fried treats. Keep it up Demet (whoever you are)! read more

In a never-ending quest to find a place that serves up old-fashioned donuts, we stopped by Demet's. While we're not sure anything will ever match a Marty's Donutland hot honey-dipped donut, Demets came VERY close. The staff was friendly, the coffee (iced and hot) excellent, their prices won't break the bank, and a dozen assorted donuts didn't last too long with our taste-testers. It's earned a spot on our Donut Odyessy map for sure! read more

Made me like coffee more, very clean and organized shop with great sincere service

Demets is great for Saturday mornings with the fam. Gotta get there early though if you want to get the goods. Sell out of the best flavors quick. Sandwiches are good too. Butter crunch & double chocolate are my favorites. My wife loves the Demets special. Can't miss!! read more

Not only do they have amazing donuts, but the people that work there are actually nice! Not some idiots tossing food in a bag like many other fast donut shops..love this place!!! Go early because to close to closing time and the donut verity is small, they make there own donuts and they don't want to end up throwing away product. Awesome awesome place! read more

This place is awesome. I'm not much of a coffee drinker but their breakfast sandwiches are awesome. I frequent the ham egg and cheese on a croissant, perfect every time. The donuts here are wonderful too. Much better than Dunkin Donuts. read more

Great local spot. Super friendly people who care about the food. The maple bar is filled with custard, in unexpected delight. The lemon creme was also a good choice. I was told next time to order the maple bar with bacon on top. Will do! read more

I can't actually review the donuts, just the customer service. I have been hunting for donuts safe for my whole family (soy allergies). When I came in here (late morning on a weekday so as to be out of the rush) and asked "what type of oil do you use for your donuts" they went into what was obviously a practiced schpiel about their oil instead of actually listening to the question. When I did get them to pause, and asked what was the specific vegetables in their vegetable oil, they got defensive and instead of answering my question kept saying that they can't be liable for cross-contamination in their suppliers. Long story short, no we can't get donuts here, and I wouldn't want to with that response. Such a u-turn in attitude from the awesome response I'd just had from the women down the street at donuts with a difference. read more

The donuts were honestly just as good as Dunkin' Donuts if not worse (they don't even make their donuts fresh). The donuts were dry and stale although the flavor variety wasn't bad. I do not recommend! read more

Don't get too excited--this place is a local business version of Dunkin Donuts. It is what it looks like: A no-frills highway rest stop.
