Anna’s Hand Cut Donuts
Even with the considerable disadvantage of being the final stop of the day on our doughnut route, Anna’s boasts some of the tastiest treats we encounter and a familial atmosphere. “I know everyone who walks in, I know what they’re getting,’’ says Eleni Keskinidis, who has owned the shop with her husband, Kosta, for 24 years (it has been open 46 years). Using trans fat-free oil, the couple bakes fresh doughnuts each morning, highlighted by black raspberry twists, marble crullers, and delicious cake doughnut holes. 2056 Centre St., West Roxbury, 617-323-2680 ($1.25 each; $12.50/dozen)
