Donuts With a Difference
While readers have plenty of love for this Medford Square stop, it rates the lowest among our tasters. The vibe in the storefront shop is that of Grandma’s kitchen, right down to the teapot wallpaper and the straightforward variety of trans fat-free doughnuts: honey-dipped, jelly, plain, jimmies, buttercrunch, and chocolate. The plain is warm, but has a strange coating, while the buttercrunch is overpowered by coconut flavor. No one finishes these doughnuts. 35 Riverside Ave., Medford, 781-396-1021. www.donutswithadifference.com (95 cents each; $9/dozen)
