New Hampshire Doughnut Co. — Restaurant in Bedford

Review of our first visit. Arrived around 10:30 am at the Bedford location, and this place was hoppin'! The line went to the door, but the wait to place your order was no longer than 5-10 minutes. At the counter, we purchased one of every flavor donut options available except the gluten-free and vegan varieties (how nice they have something for everyone!). They had already sold out of 2-3 types at this time, so if you want something special, the early bird truly gets the worm. We also bought a latte and an iced chai.

After placing our order and signing up for the frequent visitor card, the order took about 10 more minutes to fill. At first, they missed one of our two Chai but quickly offered to make the second. We sat on the couches that were recently vacated. All the seating was full when we came in. The floors and couches were filthy with crumbs and frosting. Apparently, the families who left before us didn't bother to tidy up the area, and the staff were maxed out with orders.

The donuts were fresh, and some of the flavors were outstanding, such as the tiramisu. The strawberry frosting also had a really nice strawberry flavor. The frostings tend to be on the super sweet side without the grainy texture of chain stores.

Overall, we will probably go back to sample the donuts next month. I would probably prefer to have standard flavors that don't rotate so you can always know what to expect. But I get that the logistics of this may be hard with a family run shop. Also, I would love to see a lemon flavor for the summer! Or a key lime.

We will check...

My husband and I were told that they have the best cronuts here. We had a cronut the day before from a coffee place in Bedford, NH.

First off, their selection is very overwhelming. And second, the prices were insane! I think I'm too old, but $3.75 for a cronut and some of the donuts!?

My husband got 2 honey glazed cronuts and I got an apple cider cronut and a jelly donut. Compared to the Bedford coffee place, these are tiny. I could tell a minute difference between the apple cider and honey glazed. They were fresh. My jelly donut was great except that it cost $2.75! I liked it, but it wasn't the best donut I have ever had.

Neither my husband nor I are coffee drinkers, so I am unable to comment about that.

The only other thing I wanted to comment on was the tip screen after you pay. You can choose 15, 20, or 25%! The young lady was nice, but she walked 4 steps, got our donuts, and walked 4 steps back. For 3 cronuts and a donut, it cost us around $16. So you want a $4 tip for getting us 4 pastries!? It's not just this place, so I am not picking on them specifically but the audacity to ask for a $4 tip for 8 steps - no way! The best way to ask for tips is to just have a tip jar out. Asking on the screen so blatantly is rude and offensive, in my opinion.

The service was great and the atmosphere was fine, but I wouldn't drive or go out of my way to get some donuts. There are places I would drive an hour to get a donut, but this isn't...

For our wedding, we knew we wanted to have doughnuts instead of cake. We first ran into NH Doughnut Co. at a wedding expo at the Barn at Bull Meadow and thought their doughnuts were delicious. Then we heard from our friend who lives in Concord that it is a favorite spot of theirs. We arranged to pick up a tasting box and were convinced that they were the ones. They even accommodated to include an off-menu lemon curd doughnut (a favorite flavor of ours and my grandmother) in the final order. My grandmother was unable to attend the wedding due to health reasons, but we were still able to send a doughnut of her favorite flavor home to her to help her feel better about missing out. Not only did the doughnuts, a variety of both cake and yeast-raised, all taste fantastic, but they looked great, too! Toppings aren't just sprinkled on, but thoroughly coated on top. The strawberry frosted Fruity Pebble doughnut was a particular favorite. The staff was friendly and accommodating (I worked primarily with Lexi and Amanda) and the doughnuts were delivered just when they were supposed to on wedding day. We ordered enough to have leftover for a goodbye breakfast the following day, and guests were thrilled to have another chance to try all of the flavors. In addition to those I mentioned, I recommend Chocolate Frosted with Oreo, Samoa, and...
