Thought of coming here since we were at the area. I saw some posts online about this new place (not…read moresure how new it is) so decided to stop by to see what's up. It was pretty quiet when I got inside. There was only one person I saw watching the store. The selection was not too bad I would say and they had cute decorations on the wall. I ordered a 4 pack of mochidonuts, and also ordered 2 drinks, I looked up the menu prior to going there and they lady that was watching did not know those drinks and they don't even offer some of it. I was kind of disappointed at that since I was expecting so much more. The mochi donuts I got was also ok, I would say I've had better donuts. The drinks were too sweet. I barely even dranked mine.

I tried the mochi donuts and they were fine, but I wish they were more chewy. I think they have a…read morehigher bread to mochi ratio and my personal preference is more mochi. Otherwise they're nicely made, aesthetically pleasing, and have multiple flavors.

I ran into someone from my church right outside Linda's and he asked me where the best donuts were…read morein the Boston area. I told him, "We're standing right outside it, it's Linda's." He thought I was joking. I was definitely not. I LOVE Linda's. The donuts are fresh and divine, but the people are the reason I keep going back. So imma tell you a story about why I will defend their honor til the day I die. One time I ordered a donut and a coffee and sat down to eat. A few minutes later, one of the employees walked over holding another donut. I said, "Oh, thank you, but I'm good." He just smiled and said, "It's fresh, it just came out." I took it. It was out of this world amazing. I've made donuts at home before, and fresh donuts really _are_ different. Warm, soft, and just about the best donut I've ever had. Here's another story: some other time, I wasn't thinking. I bought a dozen donuts for my coworkers and was gonna bring it to work, but I was on my bike that day and realized there was absolutely no way the box was fitting into my panniers. I went back in and asked if they happened to have a bag big enough to hold the box. They disappeared into the back and came out with their reusable Linda's Donuts bags. I suspected there weren't so many of them. I asked if I could pay for it. They wouldn't let me. I still have that bag and use it all the time, and every time someone asks me about the bag, I tell them this story. That, my friends, is how I became a Linda's Donuts evangelist. Re: ambiance, it's super low key. There are only four or five tables, and I've definitely sat there with friends over coffee and donuts. It's not trying to be trendy. It's just a neighborhood donut shop, and that's exactly why I like it. I've seen people complain that Linda's runs out of donuts. FOLKS, they're a neighborhood mom-and-pop shop. They make a finite number of fresh donuts every day. Personally, I'd rather they sell out than have donuts sitting around all afternoon. If you want the best selection, get there earlier. Maybe Kane's or Union Square Donuts are objectively better and have more variety, and fancier flavors like maple-glazed bacon doughnuts. I admit, those donuts are damn good too, but when I think of getting donuts, I always make the trip to Linda's for all the warm-fuzzies and to see all the smiling, kind people behind the counter.

I give five stars to service the staff. There's always been super friendly. They've even offered…read morefree pastries a time the negative star for me is mostly based on that. They constantly run out of donuts at all times of the day. You never know when they're gonna be open and on top of that, they say one price and do another there's times where a donuts two dollars or 250 or three dollars every time I've been rung up it's been a different price.

Great donuts, questionable food safety practices…read more I watched an employee stick her bare hand into the paper bag to inflate the bag, and then she proceeded to grab a tissue paper to put donuts into said bag. Her nails were LONG so she really ought to have worn gloves. Yuck.

I love chocolate croissants and this is one of my go tos for it. I've never had anything here I didn't enjoy and the prices are reasonable. So worth the visit if you're in the area, I come by every time I'm near Newton. I came around 1pm on my most recent visit and they still had a good stock of baked goods. It can get busy here but the staff do a good job moving people along. Some seating but definitely hard to get a spot during peak times. Street parking mostly so it can get hard to find a spot.
