    GF Lemon Poppyseed
    Aya R.

    Items ordered: GF Lemon Poppyseed, GF Cinnamon Sugar The Review: As I sit here, licking cinnamon sugar from the corner of my mouth, I can't utter one complaint. Catering to different dietary needs, including gluten-free, Kane's is a crowd pleaser. Not only do they have unique flavors, but they excel at what they make. I did not buy, but there is also coffee available. Very simple interior, accessible from the highway, with outdoor seating. It's all about these amazing donuts. Highly recommend.

    Fresh doughnuts are a delightful treat any time of day. The aroma alone can brighten a morning or lift an afternoon slump. A clean environment elevates the experience, making it even more enjoyable. A convenient location adds to the appeal, making it easy to stop in for a quick indulgence. It's the perfect combination for a sweet escape.fast service alot of different coffee

    Strawberry Frosted, Crème Brûlée, Turtle
    Marni M.

    My friends and I got a sudden craving for donuts when watching a show together. What better place to come to than Kane's? I'm used to going to their Saugus location which was unfornately closed by 3 pm on a weekday. But luckily we could make it just in time to this location instead. Located directly off of the highway, be prepared to take a relatively quick turn into their private parking lot. The woman at the register was more than happy to serve us but we wanted to consider all options before ordering. She kindly waited and tended to another customer in the meantime. In the end, we shared Strawberry Frosted, Crème Brûlée, and Turtle donuts. They were all fresh and still soft. The strawberry frosted is a staple but their Crème Brûlée is unique and like no others. The turtle was a chocolate glazed donut with crumbled up health bar on top. It was tasted and fun to try. Overall, we had a perfect experience. Prices are pretty high but the donuts themselves are XL so I think its a fair trade off. There plenty of seating for those who would want to sit down and enjoy it here however their hours can pose to be a little difficult. Would come again!

    Me & the wonderful Maria Delios  Love my Kane's family
    Ethan R.

    "Donuts are love ." And I have so much love for my Kane's family. After all these years, I truly am treated like family. Proud to say that I am friends with the staff & of course with one of the owners Maria Delios. As a local business, Kane's is a household name in all of the North Shore area and of course other parts of the greater Boston area. With unique monthly specialty offerings, a huge variety of delicious donuts & an ever so growing breakfast menu, there's no chance of you not feeling the love in all the flavors they have to offer. Simply one of my all time favorite places. Not just for the donuts, but also for the love & the incredible sense of community and friendship. They really do love & appreciate every single customer. So the next time you're up in the North Shore area, do yourself a favor and stop by our beloved Kane's for a bite, a smile & who knows you might even get a chance to meet our beloved Maria

    Honey-Glazed Coffee Roll (Large) Apple Fritter Honey-Dip Donut Butter Crunch

    Kanes will always be one of my favorite places for honey dipped donuts. However I love a good apple fritter and this one just didn't do it. The staff was a little rude and we wish they had packaged everything better. As you can see the cinnamon bun ended up with coconut on it from the butter crunch because the staff just threw them in the box. Pretty disappointing.

    Impulsively decided to get some donuts and I'm glad a few clicks brought me to Kane's. I wanted to try the OG location, but I decided to get donuts after 10 am and they ran out of some of the flavors I wanted to try. I was happy to learn that Kane's had another location a few mins away with a lot more options. The Rt.1 location is huge and was super bright and clean inside. Bonus it has a drive thru, a ton of outdoor seating and parking. The employees were kind and funny especially when I had a hard time picking out my donuts. I went with seven: Boston cream, jelly, blueberry, pink frosted, double chocolate frosted, turtle and coconut. Favorite is a tie between the blueberry and jelly. I spent about $25 so they are on the pricey side, but worth it imo. I got there at 10:30am on a Thursday and was able to get every donut I wanted to try. I imagine there aren't many options on the weekends! 10/10 recommend giving Kane's a try and splitting these donuts with family or friends. Great place and hope to try more flavors in the future!

    Visiting for work and everyone recommended Kanes- they weren't wrong! Luckily I got to try a few of these large and fresh fried biscuits but my favorite was the blueberry and coffee cake! The bakery is clean and well staffed as a local favorite with seating inside and outside. Prices were high for my liking but the donuts were also large that I justified the splurge. We stopped in on a Wednesday and they offered $.99 any size coffee- unsure if that's a usual or a special on our visit but enticed me for an iced coffee. It was okay, nothing to write about. If I'm back in the area I'll be sure to add more to my tasting list.

    It's dangerous how convenient and delicious these donuts are! We ordered online in the morning for a specific pick-up time, and when we arrived, they handed us our box of donuts and then quickly made the breakfast sandwich so that it was fresh. And let's talk about the sandwich: we went all out with bacon and sausage on a honey dip donut. And it was the best call! Savory, sweet, and so so satisfying. It's not an everyday breakfast item, but def worth having once. We got a variety of donuts, and stand-outs were the Maine Blueberry, Crème Brulee, Boston Cream (they do the classic right), and the April special Chocolate Bavarian Cream. They all tasted great and were more affordable than other specialty donut ships in the Boston area. Another aspect that I love is the focus on local - even the donut boxes are made locally! They offer special donuts each month, so there's always a reason to return. Do nut miss out on Kane's Donuts!

    Menu really should be updated with prices and workers trained on how to issue refunds correctly. Customer service skills are really lacking. Owner didn't do much better when called upon. Donuts lacking in flavor also. Dry and tasteless. Last time I'll take my business here.

    The yeast donuts from Kane's are amazing. The recent ones they put out with Sam Adams beer incredible. Favorite donuts in the state.

    Homemade gluten free donuts are the best. Not small either but costs $3.75. Well worth the treat!

    Kane's Donuts has the best donuts in the area. The donuts are decent sized, flavorful, and has a…read morelightly crisp outer with a soft inner. Their gluten free (gf)/dairy free (df) donuts are also really good and actually preferred by many members of my family, as they are so moist and melt in your mouth. There are many options to choose from, along with monthly specials which are usually fun! Some of my favorites include their Boston cream, gf/df chocolate frosted, and their holiday themed donuts. My husband loves their gf/df glazed donut. Another big hit is their ginormous cinnamon roll! It's so flavorful and feeds many with its size. Their muffins are a huge hit and barely last in our house. Their bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel is also pretty good. My husband is picky about coffee and doesn't mind theirs. Sometimes they have cupcakes available and they are so moist, full of flavor, and one of my absolute favorite things to get. The staff is usually friendly, but there are some staff that aren't as friendly as others. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available, however it is pretty small and when the line is long it comes close to the tables.

The strawberry donut was soft with a sweet glaze that actually tasted like real strawberries, not that fake candy flavor. The lemon poppyseed had a nice citrusy kick, a little more dense than the others, but in a good way. The Maine blueberry was the standout. Bursting with flavor and the glaze wasn't overly sugary. You could taste actual blueberry in every bite. They're definitely on the bigger side. Everything felt fresh and made with care. The shop itself is laid back, no rush, has that Massachusetts vibe to it. Prices are a little higher than your average donut shop, but the quality is there. Solid spot if you're into creative flavors that still feel homemade. Highly recommend.

Well not today!!! Everything about this place was perfect. First, we were greeted by the most fabulous members of the team. They were charming and funny and they loved on my daughter's service dog. Second, they gave the greatest advice on the donut offerings and all of their advice was GOLD! I have to admit that I haven't sunk my teeth into allllll of the donuts we bought yet, but so far I can tell you that the sour cream glazed and peanut Snickers are amazing amazing amazing. BUT the apple fritter actually made me cry. It is so good that I cannot put it into words. Crispy outside and tender inside with the perfect balance of sweetness. I'm telling you, they need an award for this darn thing! Listen people, come to Dandee Donuts and soak in the staff's awesomeness, but make sure to listen to their wisdom on what they're selling. It's totally worth it.

I mention every visit that they should put a name tag in front of each muffin to speed up the ordering... I must waste my time and more importantly their time answering my inquires... what is that one , what is that muffin ? Does that have raisins on it ? Nuts? Dog shit in it? or whatever ? Wtf Or why are out of certain muffins ? Any In the back on racks? Put a sign up displaying a simple check mark of available muffins? One visit the nasty one at Winchester told me they were out yet I saw the muffin on a rack not yet ready to put out front? So this was my first visit to this Wakefield location ... same issues and staff nasty here too but a bit better as more mature employee? I ordered 6 muffins and wanted 2 in a separate box as a gift to someone and the other 4 in a different box...she puts the two in a bag... A bag ruins the gift look, damages frosting in muffins... they will not put any less than muffins in a box? I'll pay for the dam extra box? Or maybe a smart owner would have a small 2 muffin box? Asked for Boston cream ... out of them .. same as last visit to Winchester location where they were out of many options... Maybe if popular statistically ... then you bake more of them based on POS sales data ? Maybe seasonality affects the daily production forecasts? Maybe offer July 4th red white blue muffins, Halloween frosting, Thanksgiving? Christmas ? Then generate greater sales, The owner should hire a better manager of both locations and stick a dam name tag in display case for each muffin, train all employees in hospitality and importance to retain repeat customers? Owner probably now just mailing it in or letting the off spring to take or already took over ? Maybe sell just sell it off to a interested owner looking to expand, or Improve offerings , add high end croissants, pastries, quality cookies ... coffee and better options? Whatever... 4 years telling every visit to just put a f'n name tag in front of each muffin-so I don't need to ask.. especially for gluten free, nut free allergies conscience people... how about an ingredients sign for each muffin ? I give up
