A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

Donuts are my friend Lollie’s thing. We were talking about the best places to get them and she told me about Anna’s Hand Cut Donuts in West Roxbury. This hole in the wall place is open at 5am and are sold out by lunch. Old timers sit at the counter and chat while drinking coffee and eating breakfast. This place is cash only and doesn’t have a website or a Facebook page.

So here is the loot: I got 6 donuts, well, I cut them in half to share with my other taste tester, so that’s really only three donuts right?! So starting at the top right and moving clockwise: glazed, blackberry filled, chocolate crunch, butter crunch, lemon filled and sugar. My favorite by far was the glazed, simple and (not too) sweet it just melted away in my mouth. The sugar was a close second. The jam in the blackberry filled was delicious, but I wished that there was more of it. The lemon filled was a little sweet for my taste, but then again, I’m not really a lemon filled kind of gal (got that one for the other taste tester). The crunch donuts, butter and chocolate, we cake-y and light, but I wished that there was more crunch to the crunch. Overall some good donuts, plain, simple and old school.
