Where to get your doughnut fix—at 4 a.m.

Twin Donuts

Photo: Amy Garwood

A

n early morning for some, a late night for others, 4 a.m. is opening time of Twin Donuts—and the best time to pick up the absolutely freshest, hottest, and sweetest of its namesake product. Trust us: Go with the jelly, stuffed to bursting. With its retro sign, Twin Donuts is one of those gems that hides in plain sight. Sure, it's a dive, but the point is that it's open and the doughnuts are hot. Even at 4 a.m., you may have to wait for one of the small number of tables if the drunken college kids get there before you, but the service is fast. Moskal

Shhhh! Named for the twins who
founded the place more than 50 years ago
Shhhh! Twin Donuts also supplies doughnuts
to Café Mirror and the Brighton Café.
Shhhh! There’s a Dunkin’ Donuts practically
next store, but it can't match Twin Donuts'
rich iced coffee, which comes in chocolate,
raspberry, French vanilla, and cappuccino.


Shhh who knew

Americans eat $3.6 billion a year worth of doughnuts, an amount increasing twice as fast as other foods.
