Goody Good Donuts, LLC — Restaurant in Laconia

Was traveling in the area and heard you had to show up early. 3:15am sounded good. 5 stars goes to both the experience and the donuts themselves, as we got to watch them fill our donuts right in front of us and had a nice chat about early mornings and donut selling.

As for getting there early, it was a ghost town. This was to be expected at 3am, but you probably want to get there pretty early if you have an specific donut in mind. I would guess probably around 8 or 9 that they start to run out of some flavors, depending on the day, obviously.

As for the donuts, they are large and doughy if you get something standard like a glazed or a jelly. The jelly stuffed ones are absolutely loaded with filling and have great flavor and texture all around. The donuts are about twice the size and weight of dunkin' donuts for about a 50% increase in price ($1.5 per donut, $7.5 for 1/2 dozen).

Now every chance I get when I'm in New Hampshire I try to get a donut blowout for the trip back to North Carolina and I only go...

Local feel, nice folk and fantastic donuts. Unapologetic that the donuts are "fried not baked" ... and thank goodness ... the donuts are delicious. We were lucky enough to have access to a fresh batch of Boston Cremes, which my septuagenarian mother ranked as, "the best" she had ever had. I tried a traditional glazed chocolate cake which was fab (not too sweet; rich, smokey chocolate flavor) and bizarre cake-donut concoction rolled in Fruity Pebble (tm) cereal that was the tastiest and most unique donut experience I have ever had. The proprietor and staff are wicked friendly and helpful. They are connected to Laconia and help to raise funds in support of the community. Sorry Tim H. and ditch the Dunkin' ... come to Goody Goods and you'll be...
