It's wasn't terribly surprising when the people behind standout Boston restaurant The Gallows proved just as adept at making amazing artisanal donuts as they were at creating drool-worthy savory dishes -- including one of
Boston's finest burgers. While they absolutely nail the basics here, from a textbook airy vanilla glazed to a chocolate sprinkled number that will shake even the most ardent Dunkin' defender to his core, don't be afraid to explore a little. There's an everything bagel brioche donut stuffed with cream cheese that straddles the sweet-savory line beautifully. There's a citrus old fashioned whose lemon-lime-orange-grapefruit glaze cuts nicely against the rich cake donut. There are also mini donuts sold by the 50-batch. Watch your back, donut holes.
