Donna’s Donuts In Tewksbury Just Got Named The Best In Massachusetts
Are these the top donuts in the Bay State?
A traditional deep-fried treat
Doughnuts are tasty treats that many enjoy from time to time. As noted by Sporked, these delightful deep-fried pastries have an interesting history, with the tradition of eating fried treats dating back to ancient Roman times.
Deep-fried dough balls have been a popular treat since at least ancient Roman times and we still enjoy them today—but is a funnel cake really a donut? The philosophical debate rages on. And, of course, there’s the churro, whose ancient origins are in fact shrouded in mystery.
As far as the name itself, recipes for dough “nuts” started appearing in recipe books in the mid 1700s. Washington Irving even wrote about “dough-nuts” in his 1809 A History of New York.

Fluffy soft donuts with a variety of flavors, but not so much variety that you're overwhelmed. Helpful and conversational staff that happily gave me their recommendations. The interior is kind of retro and homey, and that made me so happy. The prices aren't bad either!
