    French vanilla Iced Coffee with mocha
    Trey T.

    This was my first time trying Top Donut as it's a little far from my home, and I never really pass by this part of Lowell much. I told the worker it was my first time here and she kindly suggested me drinks and showed me a variety of flavors. Because Dunkins is the closest to me, I usually get an iced coffee with French vanilla swirl and mocha swirl, so I wanted to see what the difference was over here. She told me the French vanilla was brewed, so that's definitely a difference. I got a French vanilla iced coffee with mocha and regular cream and sugar. To my surprise, it's not overly sweet at all, contrary to how I look at Dunkin customers who get 20 pumps of swirl knowing how sweet it is. There's no crazy after taste, the coffee is very smooth. If I ever (and I probably won't) try drinking coffee black, I would get it here. The donuts are so fresh and the perfect amount of sweetness. Glazed donuts are like a staple, and theirs is the best so far. It's huge, but fluffy and soft, and the amount of glaze is just right, compared to Donut Shack's overly sweet glaze. And you can tell it's freshly made everyday because of that slight taste of oil, unlike Dunkin' Donuts manufactured taste of their donuts. The shop is big enough for a bunch of folks to just hangout and sip on coffee and nibble on their donuts. Feels very homey on the inside. In conclusion, I'm going to have to travel the extra mile to get coffee next time!

    Donuts here are good! -3 stars because I ordered some other donuts which they put in a bag and found a hair in it. The guy told me "it's not my hair" instead of the usual apology. They should wear hairnets here!

    My sister and I went to Top Donut to get some tasty treats and overall it was good. We got your standard strawberry frosting, glaze, Boston creme etc. Service was quick and friendly. I also got a hot chocolate that hit the spot! Recommend.

    $36 for 2 dozen mixed donuts. A little pricey to me but they were very good. The butternut ones are my favorite. Maple glazed are good too.

    2.5/5 Pros: -Inexpensive -Lots of options, including old fashioned donuts -Parking -Restrooms (though oddly, they are single stall requiring keys and yet still gendered. For maximum utility, they should be changed to "restroom 1" and "restroom 2.") -Seating -Nice staff Cons: -Some donuts are dry and the glaze is a little too sweet or has a sweet aftertaste -- Few patrons inside around 10:30AM and a short line on a Saturday. Staff recommendation: marshmallow filled, chocolate frosted, honey dip $8.50 for 6 donuts and a cinnamon twist Glazed Chocolate Cake Glazed chocolate cake donut. Light glaze with a slight crisp on the exterior and soft interior. In between dry and moist. Not overly sweet. Coffee Roll Yeast donut in the shape of a cinnamon roll, with cinnamon inside the layers. The yeast dough was light and fluffy. Light glaze that had a bit of an off-putting sweet aftertaste. Plain Glazed Glazed yeast donut. Also light and fluffy--similar in texture to a Krispy Kreme--but a bit too sweet. Boston Cream Chocolate frosted yeast donut with vanilla pudding inside. Good amount of filling, but couldn't really taste the chocolate. Glazed Old Fashioned Glazed old fashioned cake donut. Great texture--slight crisp on the outside and moist on the inside, but slightly too sweet. Chocolate Frosted Chocolate frosted yeast donut. Unfortunately this donut was super dry. Cinnamon Twist Pastry dough twisted with cinnamon filling. I thought this might be buttery after having a similar item at Honey Dew Donuts, but this was super chewy and dry and didn't taste buttery at all. It wasn't glazed, which I think contributed to some of the dryness.

    Hubby brought home a box of six donuts for us to try. I LOVE lemon donuts, so I was excited to try this one. The lemon donut was actually very tasty. I also tried the jelly filled donut. That one wasn't as good. Normally, I like a lot of jelly, but this one just had too much, and the jelly was VERY sweet. I feel like it needed something in the jelly to counteract the sweetness. I took one bite and couldn't finish. Hubby also bought a plain glazed, a boston creme, a cruller, and a chocolate with sprinkles. He enjoyed the rest of them. I'd definitely go back to get the lemon donut.

    After seeing so many pictures of donuts from all over on Yelp, I suddenly had my own "mmmm donuts" moment, exactly like Homer, so here we are at Top Donut for some yummy goodness! Donuts: Honey Glazed Donuts- Fluffy and sweet. I haven't had one of these in awhile so we devoured it within a minute! Apple Fritters- Popped these bad boys in the microwave for 15 sec and whoa baby! Tender, crisp and fruity. Strawberry Frosted Donut- I solely picked this because our half-a-dozen looks lame without a little color. It was okay but I wouldn't get it again. Boston Creme Donut- Pillow-soft texture with vanilla filling and chocolate frosting was delightful. Blueberry Flavored Coffee- My friend was so pleased with this drink. I'm not a coffee person at all but he made me try it out and I have to agree, it was pretty smooth and tasty. Hot Chocolate- It fulfilled my chocolate cravings. I would love to have tried something different but I only saw classic donuts here. Maybe next time!

    Half dozen donuts for $7, tax incl! Delicious

    This is one of several locations of a small local Cambodian family-owned donut chain. As a previous review mentioned, this type of establishment is quite common in California, and I've never seen it on the East Coast before myself. This shop offers take-out, dine-in and drive-thru. The variety of donuts is small compared to what you'll see in California. They have just basics, such as chocolate dip, Boston cream, eclairs, maple, etc. No really fancy colorful icing styles. However - the quality is absolutely solid. Cambodian-American donuts have a less "rich" taste than typical American places, so it's easier to eat several at a time if you want to sample more. You don't feel as diabetic after eating these. I'm happy that they didn't charge tax either, even despite me paying with credit card. I hope Top Donut can expand beyond the Lowell area, but I totally understand if the owner is just trying to keep things small & local for now. These Mom & Pop businesses are a must-visit!

    Donuts are amazing. The coffee is a step up from typical Dunks but not by much if you're coming here come for the Donuts.

    Donut Shack in Lowell is an absolute hidden gem and I am still thinking about these donuts…read more First, a heads up: this place is not easy to find. They share a door with a barbershop and the storefront is tiny. From what I understand, they mostly sell wholesale to other restaurants, but they open up a small window of sales to walk-in customers. When they are sold out, they are done for the day, so get there early! Now for the donuts. Delicious, delicate, and honestly some of the best I have ever had. These are not your average gas station donuts. You can taste the care and craftsmanship in every bite. But what really blew me away was the hospitality. I had already picked out 8 donuts when I was told it was cash only. I had none on me, but offered to run out and come back if she could hold my box. Without hesitation, she handed me the box and told me to pay whenever I could. She was completely serious. That kind of trust and generosity is rare and it genuinely made my day. A few things to know before you go: it is cash only, the space is small with just a few tables and chairs, and they sell out fast. But it is absolutely worth the effort. Support this business. You will not regret it.

    I cannot say enough good things about Donut Shack!! My husband and I have been going here for years…read moreand it is still as amazing as it was the first time. Their donuts aren't crazy flavors they are classics and I wouldn't ask for anything else. Big, fluffy, and delicious. As someone who has gone to a ridiculous amount of donut shops I can tell you two things: their donuts are delicious and their prices are very reasonable!! I wish we still lived down the street, we'd be there way more often!!
