Kane’s Donuts

About

Kane’s Donuts is a handcrafted donut shop that started in Saugus in 1955 as a mom-and-pop operation, opening before dawn to serve locals and shift workers coffee and donuts. Its Boston shop brings the brand into the city alongside its Saugus locations. The signature Honey-Dip donut is a mainstay, and the shop has expanded into creative, candy-inspired flavors that turn donuts into an all-day treat, made with local and organic whole-food ingredients.

About three decades after opening, restaurant owners Peter and Kay Delios revived Kane’s using recipes and experience from their earlier success with Mrs. Foster’s Doughnuts. The business is now owned by their four children, Maria, Stephen, Peter and Catherine. Since 2014 Kane’s has offered a gluten-free line known as KGF, made with creative uses of avocado and other alternatives. The donuts have been covered by The Boston Globe, Bon Appetit, Saveur, Travel + Leisure and the London Times.
