Same, I make pretty good breakfast tacos but they are NOT the same as waking up and stopping at the small hole in the wall shop down the road… the salsa 😭

also, is it just Dunkin here? Like are there no mom & pops donut places?? i miss those donuts

Knead has the best approximation of a mom and pop donut shop menu here although it is pricey. They have a good basic glazed and decent cake donuts. I have tried every donut shop in the state and they are not the same as what I imagine you are looking for. Been looking for years and unfortunately you won’t find it. The northeast in general is a tough market for donuts- Dunkin’ has such a stranglehold on the entire region. The closest I have found in the entire northeast overall is Peter Pan but that’s in NYC.

There's a couple of popular local donut places- pvdonuts if you want towering creations of anything sweet you can find in a kitchen (I've really liked some of them, but a lot of their stuff is too much for me), and knead for fantastic basics with some nice flavors.

My favorite spot in TX was an abuela that sold them out of a gas station parking lot, with griddle and stuff set up on her truck bed. I would kill to have that back.

There's a chain called Marylou's that's a bit more mom n pop feeling than Dunkin. Some of the Italian and Portuguese bakeries also have donuts on weekends...but you're right, PVD area is not major donut country.
