Honey Dew Donuts

After a long bus ride and whilst waiting for my sister to pick me up I spotted honey dew doughnuts across the way. I’m a sucker for doughnuts and although the reviews didn’t seem promising I decided to press my luck.
This was in the late evening around 6, and it looked like most of the good stuff had already been taken until my eye caught the raspberry pastry stick. I had thought of Einstein’s cinnamon sticks and all it’s deliciousness, so I thought the raspberry stick would be too. Unfortunately, you could tell it had been out all day. it was hard and dry and practically tasteless; I didn’t get any hint of raspberry from it. I was so hungry and made the decision to get it so I was going to stick it out and eat, but after two bites I couldn’t do it. However, when I went back the staffer did allow me to get something different free of charge, but the doughnut wasn’t that much better.
Maybe Honey Dew doughnuts are good in the morning when they’re fresh, but I’ll definitely pass on going back there.

Sunday night. Waiting for my bus back to NYC. Craving something sweet, but not something I’ve ready access to in NYC. Something unique (or somewhat unique).
Enter Honey Dew Donuts. There’s only one staffer this Sunday evening and she seems nice enough. They are selling Honey Dipped and Honey Dew donuts. I ask her what’s the difference.
She shrugs.
I ask her how much are the donuts. $ 1.10. Per donut? Yes. I’m afraid this is too much for an unknown.
Then I spy a Pistachio muffin. Ooh, this looks promising.
How much is the Pistachio muffin? $ 1.70. Sold.
I’ll have one please.
And it hits the spot. Sweet nutty flavor with a hint (more like a hunk) of green. Soft and fluffy texture with a nice firm muffin top for picking and chewing.
Three stars for having something I wanted that hit the spot for something sweet and somewhat unique. Less than five stars for the staffer not knowing their product and not really caring (or not seeming to care).

Always make a pit-​stop here for my Blueberry Iced coffee before boarding a bus to NYC. The coffee at Honey Dew is absolutely yummy and is a close second to Marylou’s for me. The prices seem cheaper than Dunks, and the quality is much better. I really like their bagels as well. Lastly, service at this location has always been excellent, especially in a high-​volume area like the SS bus terminal. See ya this weekend!

Stopped here before a trip to NYC. 5am and I wanted coffee, but I also wanted to sleep on the bus… McDonalds didn’t have decaf so I hopped on over here. I was greeted by a super friendly young guy who was really nice and accommodating. I’m pretty sure he was in high school — who wants to be up at 4am giving crankies their coffee? But he had a great attitude… Anywho grabbed a small decaf and a donut — the donuts are much better than Dunkin and (shhhh) the coffee is too.

Honey Dew Donuts featuring Dew Drop donut holes, how friggin’ adorable!
A few girlfriends and I had the pleasure of being stuck in the South Station bus terminal after missing our MEGABUS ride from Boston to NYC… not cool, but Honey Dew fed our bellies and made it a-​okay.
Comparable to Dunkin’ Donuts in product and price; you have all your basic breakfast needs and some weird seasonal items like the red velvet muffin top that could probably only add to your own muffin top in the end…

Fresh bran muffin and good coffee.

Local chain in Boston similar to Twin donuts over in NYC
1. «Honey» Glazed — A thicker than normal glazed donut with not enough sugar as a normal glaze. Consistency is somewhere between a cake and a yeast donut even though it should be a yeast donut. I would choose a Dunkin Donut glazed over this because it is softer and with better glaze
2. Boston Crème Donut — Slightly better than Tim Hortons and Dunkin Donuts; a thinner crème with more flavour that isnt as starchy as Dunkin Donuts. More crème as well and better chocolate cover. Def. one stop up
from Dunkin’ but no where near Donut Plant or Vernas
3. Pistachio Muffin — Not something you see in normal stores, the outside is about the same as every muffin but the inside is a bright lime coloured green. In terms of taste, it seems to have an egg-​y taste to it and a thick consistency indicative of many muffins. I would have to say that I enjoy Dunkin Donuts muffins a bit more because of consistent taste without the egg and because of its soft moist flavour

Donut tasted like cigarettes. Disgusting and disappointing.

This is the perfect last minute place to hit before a long bus ride back to New York! Especially if you’re in the mood for breakfast at 5:30pm!
Much like any other Dunkin/​Tim Horton’s chain, they’ve got the whole coffee/​donut/​breakfast/​bagel selection. I ordered the sausage, egg, and cheese on a croissant and an iced coffee. Sadly, they’re pretty limited on their iced coffee flavors.
Anyway, I dropped my $ 5.something and hauled ass to the bus. This is the only bad note; the employee, though friendly, took forever to make the sandwich. This is a bus terminal, after all. People probably don’t have much time to hang out!

My Honey is nice, and friendly, and serves me fresh coffee. He asks me how I’m doing, and and smiles and makes eye contact with me. My Honey tells me to have a nice day, while he’s keepin’ the place clean. What’s your Honey Dew?
