Demet's Donuts — Restaurant in Medford

Had a pretty disturbing visit to Demet's this morning. There are some "usuals" of the restaurant who sit in the booths day in and day out -- a group of 5 or 6 people in their 70s. My husband & our three-year old son sat in an open booth next to the usuals (I am a man). As soon as we sat down, the verbal assault began. One of the gentleman, who was probably five feet away from my son in the next booth, raised his voice so everyone in the restaurant could hear him. His ended his speech, while looking directly at our family, saying (direct quote) "Mayor Menino says we should accept everyone. I don't agree with that. I hate lesbians. I hate f__g_ts. And Mr. Menino can shove it." It's one thing to express your viewpoints on another issue. It is another to do so with this kind of language and direct it at a 3-year old. The restaurant is usually very nice to us, but there was no response to this. Not a safe place for same-sex couples, or for that matter, anyone...

Best donuts in town! Just get there before 8am or they sell out 😭

Up dated review: 4/15/23… it saddens me to say that demets is no longer my favorite donut shop, pricing is crazy, and quality of donuts and selection were sad today. Cost me $30 for a dozen sad donuts that no longer tasted the same, the jelly and cream filled donuts where, well, WHERES THE FILLER??? There was hardly any jelly in the jelly in the jelly donuts, and the cream filled ones were awful tasting, they really got dumbed down and lame on the donuts as well as selection. It was a sad sad day for me, my usual “fat-pills” are no more. I came all the way from Georgia to enjoy them, but I Won’t be going back the next time I’m in town😢. I guess covid killed demets ambitions of being one the few old time quality donut makers. Rip demets…. Regards, Your out of...

I was looking for a place to get breakfast sandwiches for my family after my morning yoga class. I went into Demets and ordered some along with coffee and noticed it was cash only.. I respect it. There’s an ATM next to the door and my card wasn’t working and I went to an ATM down the street. Long story short, when I came back, my food was waiting for me and the gentleman who was there asked me if everything was okay. I replied yes and he said that he felt bad and wanted me to start my day right and handed me two free donuts along with my order. I know that this is such a small gesture but it spoke volumes to me and meant SO much. It really made my morning. I will make sure to stop by as often as I can, and so should you. We need places like this to thrive. Shop locally...
