The Donut Man

I just went here yesterday and got a breakfast sandwich. Disappointing doesn’t begin to describe it. Bacon egg and cheese on a bagel… the bacon/​egg/​cheese didn’t even come close to being the same size as the bagel, so half a breakfast sandwich? And even when you get to the actual sandwich part it was so thin that you hardly tasted it. Basically I ate a toasted bagel disguised as a breakfast sandwich.
Also I went at around 10am, and they were out of almost everything, and I heard the, what I assume was the manager, say multiple times she had no time to bake any new things today. If you’re almost out at 10am, there’s going to be nothing left be time the afternoon comes.
This place has gone downhill fast.

The only thing worth buying from here are the bagels and the sandwiches. But even then, I’ve gotten a burnt sandwich. I’ve ordered coffee at various times in the day, and each time it tastes old. More than once I’ve asked for «cream only», and have gotten a coffee with cream and sugar. The donuts are okay. Overall I’m not a fan and would rather head to a Dunkin or Starbucks for my coffee.

Didn’t have high expectations for this shop, but they didn’t disappoint. Ordered a medium coffee, light and sweet, half decaf and it was perfectly balanced — not too sweet, not too light just how I like it!
Only con was that the morning I came in, the service was super off. I was ordering several items for a few people and the woman at the register was super rude and impatient with me — kind of like «are you done yet?!» Seems like they have a nice variety of donuts and pastries, and I loved the super-​reasonable prices.

Great donuts. Don’t miss the buttermilk. All way better than the chain store stuff.

Loved my crossiant sandwich so much I forgot to snap a pic twice, the donuts are fresh and the coffee is strong, the service is gr8 and fast I love the drive thru

Today I chowed down with a vengeance (feelin’ down ahhh poor me, poor waist-​line). 5 stars I know … and donuts of all things. go figure!
I started @ The Donut Man around 6:30 am and it was the best of my 3 meals (if you can call donuts a meal?) Keep reading … I think you’ll agree it was a meal!
I had three donuts & coffee (coffee doesn’t count).
1. Started with what I couldn’t wait to get in my mouth … The Buttermilk Donut … is/​was … Fantastic, so moist, perfect consistency & excellent with my coffee. I will never go back again without (!!!) leaving with a buttermilk & to avoid my own temper tantrum I will call ahead before I go! This donut is on par with what is called a Sour Cream Donut. If you go … get one !!! Dunk-​a-​lissh-​us!
2. The Cherry Chip was soooo good too, it reminded me of these cupcakes my mom made back in the day when mom’s made cupcakes for elementary school events.
3. A French Cruller was my third and final indulgence. It was very good, not amazing but still much better than that chain donut shop everyone waits in line for (blocking traffic grrrrr) what’s the deal?
Go entrepreneur … much better!
OK …so as I said I was in a mood … & yes… I did it. I had a 4^th donut. Guilty!
A Boston Cream and let me tell you … it was Grrrrrreat! I am so glad I saved the custard-​filled one for last. Yes yes yes, I was gonna have it for a snack later in the day but I ate it. Yes, …all 4 donuts back to back.
Like I said, the custard helped it go down Oh Sooo Well!
Great Donuts and the 2 employees were super friendly !
This place is going-​to-​be-​a-​problem for me!
PS …amazing value!

I love the coffee here! This is a bad addiction for me that I had to stop. When I get a craving this is where I go.

Great quality.
They have all my favorite doughnuts.
But the cherry-​cake-​mix doughnuts weren’t as good as I remembered. I think the cherry-​cake-​mix doughnuts were a little rare.
And the sugared apple-​cider donuts don’t have enough sugar. Try microwaving them for 25 seconds.

I have gone here about five times and I will probably not return.
I wanted to purchase a large amount of donuts once (about 100) once for a work function about a week away. Every day at different times I would either go there or call to ask the manager if this would be okay. The employees I spoke to were all very unenthusiastic, gave me one word answers, and since the manager was never there they couldnt tell me when he/​she would be in or how to contact them. They also could not tell me if a large order was possible. I went somewhere else.
I have also gone there for my personal food and drink. Twice of the five times Ive gone, I did not even get to order in the drive thru because the lady said she would be right with me and never answered again. I waited for 7 minutes one time and then just drove off, sick of waiting and went somewhere else.
One more thing, I paid by card once and was overcharged because of an error on the cashiers part, ringing me up for a wrong item. She told me she wouldnt give me a refund because she couldnt open her drawer. Then she agreed to give me a refund… and it was about 3 dollars total, which was ALL CHANGE because thats what she could find in the jar and around the store!
Today I went and asked for a plain bagel with bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo. The bacon didn’t even look like bacon, I was looking at it for awhile actually wondering what it was. It also had onions all over it which I did not ask for. The place WAS clean, though, which I do appreciate.
Update: This place has gotten a little better! The employees are much nicer, it looks like they hired new, better ones. They do advertise sandwiches on their board but no longer have any of the ingredients needed to make them, so I just get bagels instead, I’m not picky. In the afternoon they are sometimes out of certain bagels. The iced coffee with vanilla flavor is REALLY good.

They have a large selection of donuts which all look and tasted good. As for the coffee there is better choices in the area. Service was just ok. If looking for donuts go here instead of the big chains.

I have a coffee here often. Fresh and hot always. Donuts are fresh and delicious. Blueberry Cake is my favorite.

Im a fan of their donuts, always fresh and delicious probably the best around, but donuts have not yet been proven to have any health benefits so i’ll stop by once every 6 months.
the coffee im not sold on and i’ve never gotten anything else from here. Atkins is their main donut competition in comparison then maybe whole foods. I’d recommend just going to somewhere else for coffee and saving the calories for lets say lunch?

Excellent donuts, excellent egg and cheese on a Portuguese Roll. Only complaint I’d have is their charge policies (bring cash, it’s less annoying) and sometimes select donuts can be out too long and get a tiny bit crusty. Other than that, they make excellent homemade donuts that are VERY worthwhile. Great!

Incredible donuts! Nice people, too!

Hard to find an independent donut store in Massachusetts these days, but this one is great. I hadn’t realized how accustomed I’d become to Dunkin’s chemically chocolate donut until I started getting my donuts here. I especially recommend the buttermilk donut. I could (and have) eat 4 in one sitting. They have way more flavors than the chains. I’m not a coffee drinker, so I can’t comment on that, but it’s a great place to pick up a dozen on the way to a meeting or something. I’d recommend going in instead of using the drive-​thru so you can see what they have.

Sooo, at around 8:30 p.m., we’d been watching Dexter (Season II, the last episode), where he brings in an array of delicious-​looking donuts in celebration of his new-​found freedom. And, we were late at starting dinner (the chicken was marinating), and we were starving. We had to pause the dvd, and go on a search for donuts! I dreamed of one with sprinkles, and Erin craved a chocolate glazed donut. We called The Donut Man, which stays open — Thank God — until 10:00 p.m. and we were on our way!
Okay, so the downside was that they were out of the donuts with vanilla icing and sprinkles and chocolate glazed, but, on the upside (being an optimist, this isn’t hard), donuts (after 6:00 p.m.) were being sold 2 for 1, and they still had a wonderful fluffy donut with thick gooey chocolate frosting, and fabulous crunchy glazed donut holes, a most delicious coconut donut with fabulous cinnamon flavored cake, and a wonderful, weird cherry donut that was recommended by the bored-​looking waitstaff person, which was sooo good! Really good. Really cheap. And, convenient. Much better than Dunkin’ Donuts! And, they accept credit cards, which we didn’t need, since it was only $ 2.36 for 4 big donuts and 4 donut holes.
Out donut quest was a success! And, we went home and resumed Dexter, all the more enthralled by our sugar-​haze. ;)

To my mind, there can only be one Donut Man. It is located in Glendora, California, and serves the most mind-​bogglingly amazing donuts I know. So I was actually angry when I drove by during a day trip to western Massachusetts and saw what I considered to be a cheap copy. So angry that, I, you know, went in and had a donut. To demonstrate the superiority of the Glendora Donut Man. To prove a point.
What redeemed this place, at least somewhat, was the chocolate cake donut with buttercrunch coating. It was, in addition to being a really hard variety to find, actually pretty darned delicious. So I will grudgingly concede that while there can only be one Donut Man, Hadley’s Donut Man is. .. alright by me, too.

To give one star for a wrong order and the fact that they charged you for using a debit card on a purchase that you should have paid cash for, all I can say is if you knew how much the store was charged so YOU could use that card, you have no clue and that my presumptuous friend, is lame.
Okay having said that, I have had a few coffee orders messed up… yes. But when I say a few, I mean a few. D & D messes up more orders than I care to count over the years and these donuts are better, the sandwiches are better, and the service is MUCHO better. Their Iced Coffee is the way it’s supposed to be. Ripping a joint because you have a chip on you shoulder is rude dude.

Ehh…
I asked for a small regular cream & sugar. I received a small black.
I used my debit, which cost an extra dollar. Lame.

Cheap, delicious, cake donuts. I’m pretty sure cake donuts are the reason people live in Massachusetts. Before coming here for school, I thought everyone had a mutual hatred of donuts, but now I understand that Iowa just has the wrong kind of donuts.
Freakin delicious.
Cheap.
Coffee.
Donut holes.
Pretty basic, but addictive, I once walked five miles in the pouring rain to have a delicious donut man donut.
