Honey Dew Donuts — Restaurant in Fairhaven

Honeydew Donuts is a local New England-based coffee and pastry chain.

I spent a good chunk of my high school years working a part-time after-school job at the Sacred Hearts Congregation building a few blocks away from this location in Fairhaven on Huttleston Avenue.

Over 25 years later, I still visit when I'm back in town from San Diego -- not just for the sentiment, but for for their Cinnamon Sticks. We do not have Honeydew Donuts in San Diego, nor do we have anything remotely close to a Cinnamon Stick, which is a flaky yet sturdy pastry twirled around a delicious (but not dominant) cinnamon paste, then glazed with a sugary frosting. The frosting caramelizes during the baking process to form a sweet crust around the pastry.

I have lived in many places, visited many countries, and there is not a better morning pastry to be had. Everyone in New England should be thankful for having easy access to Cinnamon Sticks across a myriad of Honeydew locations.

I've had fancy cronuts and kouign-amanns, and I still prefer the Cinnamon Stick.

Like a Krispy Kreme donut, it is best to have a Cinnamon Stick when they're hot and fresh from the oven. This is a rare and unannounced occasion, but if you go to a Honeydew Donuts location often enough, this magical moment is bound to happen to you.

I'm not an avid coffee drinker, but I will say Honeydew's coffee is comparable to the mild flavor of Dunkin' Donuts.

There is absolutely nothing fancy about this chain, but this location has always been consistent, staffed well, managed well,...

I usually have exceptional service from the staff at honey dew, they always greet me with a smile and ask “how are you?” and send me off with a very friendly!” have a good day!” I go to honey dew almost every morning before work or school. I am always excited to go to honey dew because I know I will be greeted with a smile and receive great service! Today however, I had the day off and decided to go get a nice morning coffee at honey dew. I was greeted by a female staff member who did not seem to be having a good day. As I pull up to the drive up window it opened and I said “hi! Goodmorning!” Only to be greeted a older blonde woman with a very monotone sounding “6.97”. There was no please or thank you. She just handed me my things and almost whispered a very unfriendly sounding “have a good one”. I am appalled at the service I received this morning. I am unsure to wether this woman was having a bad day but even so you still should do your job with a smile no matter the day you are having. When I came home and told my mom (another regular honey dew customer) about what happened she said she so received the same service this...

Steady customer at this usually very good location. Today, I literally threw most of my breakfast sandwich away. The croissant was so hard around the edges it was hard to even take a bite and the rest of it was so spongy that I couldn’t even tear off a piece. The coffee was much sweeter than usual and disposed of most of that as well. . I think this may have been prepared by someone new who needs more training or closer oversight until she’s got it down. But a waste of $$$ for me whatever the issue was this morning....
