Upon entering the restaurant, the friendly staff greets you with warmth and hospitality. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the croissant. It was light, buttery, and delicious. The restaurant takes great pride in its business, which has been recognized on Yelp as the best in its category. This cozy and welcoming neighborhood spot is truly a gem, and I am grateful to have it in the community.

What a wonderful little family owned donut shop. Businesses like this build the foundation of what Lowell represents. Kim's hospitality shines and you can really see how proud she is of the food that she makes. The donuts are wonderful, the coffee is no frills, straight forward, and tasty. She also separates herself from other establishments by offering kolaches. Sweet bread wrapped around a hotdog. I've tried both the regular and the spicy version, and either option tastes great. Also, her breakfast sandwiches comes with real eggs, nothing processed!

The absolute BEST donuts in the area. So fresh and delicious. Not overly sweet either! The customer service is also top notch- everyone always has a smile for you when you walk in. So glad we found this gem.

We absolutely love this place! Kim and her son Dennis were incredibly nice. We felt so welcomed and comfortable from the moment we walked in. The donuts were among the best we've ever had. The Apple fritter was a huge hit! We also loved the blueberry donut... and then the donut holes were incredibly delicious and addictive! We can't wait to go back soon.

Been looking for Sausage Kolaches in the area for a long time, here they are! These live right up to the ones I used to get outside of Houston, really good! Even the ones with Jalapeno in them. Dip these little beauties in mustard and you will be hooked. Also tried the apple fritter: Crispy, soft and really tasty. Donut holes: Fresh, light and none of the weird chemical aftertaste from one of the national brands. Go once, go often, tell your friends!

I liked the hotdog in a bun, which added a little variety among the different donuts they had. Also ordered a blue frosted donut with sprinkles. Sprinkles are super important to a donut and shouldn't be eaten without one! Thought it was okay, but I'm a rather basic donut guy. My usual go to is chocolate frosted with sprinkles.

Kim's donuts small family owned shop . Walking into this hole in the wall with a glass case full of nice rounds fluffy goodness! Not to mention to my surprise it's actually owned by a high school friend of mine's family . I love small business with a great product ...the donuts were nice and light and like they say FLUFFY . Your not holding this donut when you eat it it's literally floating in your hand from glaze to frosted and the specialty ham and sausage filled combination goods it's a place to go and enjoy something sweat and a classic morning delight !

Nice addition to the Lowell donut scene. It's on Branch Street just outside the epicenter of Cambodia-town, with very limited street parking (no lot), but the spaces turn over often enough that I've visited a half dozen times without a problem. Coffee is New England Coffee. Not bad. Not great. Service is over the counter, with selections viewable in a glass case. Seating is extremely limited; there's (I'm serious) one and a half booths. No toilet ("out of order" translates to "not for you," but I'm here for the donuts, not the bathroom). I'll cut to the chase: This place is good. Better than Donut Shack and Top Donut in my opinion, though I like those places too in varying degrees. The donut details: Honey Dipped: Very fresh. VERY fluffy. Chocolate Honey Dipped: Try the Dunkin' Donuts version of this with your eyes closed, and you'll taste something sweet but never know that it's chocolate. Here, you can really taste the chocolate and there's a bit of fudginess to it, both in flavor and moist texture. Nice shine to the finish. Boston Cream: There's nothing extraordinary about the chocolate here, but it's solid and they don't skimp on quantity. The rest of the donut is super fresh, with a nice tasting batter and a fluffy texture. The thing I love about the inside is that they fill them to order, so while that means the filling will be chilled from the fridge, the upside is you have the flexibility to have the donut filled with Boston cream (basically vanilla pudding), lemon, or raspberry. Try the raspberry version! You can also get it in a larger eclair format. No matter the selections, it's a donut (or eclair) you're going to like. Blueberry: This is a cake donut that actually has the consistency of a real cake, and a moist one at that. Most donut shops that do blueberry donuts have blueberry donuts that taste like chemicals. Here, they taste like blueberries. So between that and the wonderful texture, this is a win. Chocolate Glazed: I'm talking the kind that's a raised/yeast donut with a ring of chocolate, like the emoji. Pretty ordinary with a dry donut (on a 9am visit) under the standard chocolate. Like the Boston Cream, nothing wrong with the chocolate, but not much different from the chains. Apple Fritter: Different places do these in different styles; here, it's flat like a cookie, but really bumpy, with a generous coating of glaze and nice bits of apple. If you try to bend it, it'll bend along with you, and you can taste and feel the stickiness on the inside too. An excellent treat and better than the donuts in my opinion. Not perfection, but overall, a place well worth coming back to.

Kim's donuts is a great addition to the amazing local establishments in Lowell. Awesome donuts and even better service. I got a chance to speak to Kim and she is a great person - very kind and you can tell she cares a lot about what she does. Next time I stop by, I'll try the kolaches! FYI, parking can be tight but there is a spot in front of her building that is a 15 minute only spot.
