In the city: Kane's is the common favorite. Union Sq is good for hipster brioche. Blackbird for cake. Doughboy if you're looking for the old school Dunkin vibe but with edible donuts.

North of the city, Donuts With a Difference in Medford. South of the city, Donut King in Quincy/Weymouth.

Further out (you need a car), Basic Batch (Milford), Glazy Susan and Doughnut Homies (Worcester), Ruby's (Ayer), and Donna's (Tewksbury) are all worth a stop if you're in the area.

Anna's donuts in West Roxbury. Twin Donut in Allston. Both are traditional. Country Kitchen in Walpole as well for that style. I'd rather eat a week old dunkies hoola hooped by the Dunkin' rat than chomp a blackbird, but I understand the appeal of overpaying for a hyped up piece of trash to join a club.

Note that they sell out of most, if not all by early afternoon.

They both have good donuts. The Quincy location is more basic/old school donut shop and coffee counter. The Weymouth location has specialized in fancy, highly decorated donuts and there can be a line out the door when they are busy.
