Our Story

Two things in common: we love doughnuts, and we love this neighborhood.

Twin Donuts started with a simple idea — make doughnuts the way your grandmother would have, if your grandmother happened to be obsessed with perfect glazes and creative flavors. We opened our doors on Cambridge Street and never looked back.

Every morning, our batch begins before dawn. We mix, proof, fry, glaze, and finish by hand. No shortcuts, no mixers on autopilot — just flour, eggs, butter, and a lot of attention. That's why the line sometimes wraps around the block, and why people drive in from Cambridge, Somerville, and beyond.

The Menu

What's fresh
today?

Our menu changes with the seasons and the mood. Here are the ones you'll fall in love with.

Classic glazed doughnut with shiny sugar coating

The Classic Glaze

Fan Favorite

Light, airy, and impossibly crisp on the outside with a tender crumb inside. The one that started it all.

Double Chocolate

Rich

Battered in cocoa, fried golden, then drowned in a dark chocolate ganache that hits different at midnight.

Maple doughnut with amber maple glaze and bacon crumble

Maple Bacon

Savory-Sweet

Real maple glaze with crispy bacon bits folded right into the dough. Sweet, salty, and impossible to put down.

Strawberry doughnut with fresh strawberry glaze and sprinkles

Strawberry Short

Seasonal

Fresh strawberry glaze with a hint of vanilla bean and a dusting of freeze-dried berries. Summer in every bite.

Crispy cruller doughnut with twisted shape and powdered sugar

The Cruller

Classic

A twisted choux pastry, fried until shatteringly crisp, then rolled in powdered sugar. Old-school done right.

Coffee & More

Drinks

House-roasted coffee, espresso drinks, and cold brew — paired perfectly with whatever doughnut you're craving.

And several rotating seasonal specials you won't find anywhere else.

The Process

From our hands
to your hands.

Mix & Proof

We start with simple ingredients — flour, eggs, butter, a pinch of salt — and give the dough time to develop flavor.

Shape & Fry

Hand-cut, hand-shaped, and fried in small batches at the perfect temperature for that golden, airy interior.

Glaze & Finish

Every doughnut is dipped, drizzled, or dusted by hand. No conveyor belts, no machines doing the finishing.

Serve Fresh

Still warm when you pick them up. That's not a promise — that's just how we do it, every single day.
