The donuts here are delicious! I love the Bavarian cream filled and the raspberry glazed donuts and my husband is a big fan of the glazed twist with cinnamon. The building is really cool with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a wall of windows. The only reason it didn't receive perfect marks from me is that the coffee was kinda gross, it... More

I love the look and style of this place, very kitsch and surprisingly nice/special for a donut shop. The donuts weren't the best I've ever had, but they were good. The first time we went, we had good service. The second time, I was way less than impressed, but later came to the conclusion that it may just be a... More

Service was very quick and excellent. Very friendly and no attitude. Maple bar was very tasty as was the chocolate cake donut. We were staying at Hotel 5 just down the block and wanted a morning treat. We sat up in the upper mezzanine level and people watched. Cool old building. I saw where people complained about prices but if... More

These are the best donuts I've ever tasted. The staff is very friendly, greeting you like you come in every day (which if I lived near here I probably would). The donuts may be a bit higher priced than Dunkin Donuts or other chains, but these are so light, tasty and are larger than the others and they are MUCH... More

I have been to Top Pot several times while staying at Hotel 5. It is the closest for morning coffee. I have not had donuts although they look fantastic. Honestly the staff is unbelievably friendly. They greet customers like they are best friends and it appears quite genuine. But--- their coffee needs improvement.

Top Pot Donuts definitely makes a solid donut. I enjoyed a Lemon-Glazed and a Raspberry filled donut which were good. But being from the Boston and specifically growing up in the Merrimack Valley Area, there is no better place for donuts than Heavenly Donuts in my opinion. Agree with other posters here - they make a good product, but certainly... More

Long line--even at 8 am--but worth it. Ohhhh, the jelly donuts. Retro and perfect. Lots of seating, and easy to park outside if you need to drive there. Totally worth making a trip!
