An absolute must visit. They?re cash only, so you may need to stop at the ATM across the street, but the flavors are amazing and my family loves them!
The very best donuts - ever! Great prices and friendly staff. They sell some yummy coffee as well. I would have pictures but they just don't last long enough and as soon as we get them, we eat them! The little one is eating the strawberry donut, cut in half filled with strawberry cream and fresh strawberries.
First time to brother's donuts because I had heard how good the donuts were. They did not disappoint! Make sure you call ahead, though, because they run out of specialty donuts fast! The sitting areas for the shop could use some updates. Not a fan of the coffee, but the donuts are phenomenal ??.
I just walked in to get some donuts and the woman behind the counter acts like she has a chip on her shoulder. I understand you are the only one behind the counter but remember we are the customer so treat us as one, and if you don't have one the shelf be nice about it and apologize for not having it. She needs to have a cup of coffee and greet people with a smile not a attitude. Not sure if I will be back.
Service is incredibly fast and professional, and every employee is very polite. The doughnuts are all made with a pillow soft dough, and all doughnuts are large sized. There are many choices, but, the key to this place is getting here EARLY. 3:30 A.M. early, as they sell out quickly! The coffee choices are simple, not complicated. Every item they sell is delicious, it's worth every calorie.
You gotta get there early! Got there around 1030, it was slim pickings. Ate lemon cream donut, best donut ever, simple but delicious, super fluffy. Also got several other flavors like maple, Boston cream, apple fritter, jelly filled. Highly recommend!
Best donuts around!!!Got there a little later than I should have. If you want a choice go early!!! Only had 1 kind left when I got there at 9:34 am Closes at 11 am.
The place was like a hole in the wall, would have never known about it if it wasn't for someone at work. The worker was friendly. Their donuts are huge, just one each was enough to fill us up,but I couldn't resist getting a dozen, so many nice flavors. Real filling, nothing fake here and their strawberry donut tasted just like strawberry shortcake and had real strawberries. As close to old fashion donut shop that your going to find. The glaze was flaky an messy an a bit dried out but its what you get for re
Was worried when we dropped in at 945am we missed the donut train, luck was on our side, still some left! Tiny shop, main street parking, I imagine peek hours parking is tight, so get there early. These donuts are huge! This is a cash only establishment, they do have several signs posted so this shouldn't a surprise at checkout time. Stop in, grab an apple fritter or glazed and start your day off right.
Excellent customer service! Donuts are delicious. I bring them to my work in Boston and everyone loves them.
Get there early for the best section! I love Thier old fashioned cruller best. They have both cake and yeast donuts and do a great job with the classics. Pro tip: Go just down the street and eat your donuts in the park by the river!
Get there early. Best donuts i've had in years. 100/10!
Heard so many good things about them and had try. SO WORTH IT!!! They are delicious!!!
Brothers Donuts in Franklin, NH. what can I say! I frequent this palcw quite a bite.. I mean, bit ;) It has a throwback feel to a 70's eat and go bakery. Stool chairs that line the breakfast bar and paneled walls that make you forget you are living in the 2000's. Service with a smile, most of the time. Hey, let us be real.. If you had to serve donuts at 4:00 am in the morning. You may also forget a smile or two on the way. (attempt at humor) If you're a fan of donuts and wondering where to get the best
While on vacation we love to check out the local businesses. This is a tiny little donut shop that is only open 4 days a week. It opens at 3 am and closes at 11am. We got there at 845 and there were slim pickings. I was able to get my kids requested donuts the apple fritter, the Oreo donut, a Boston cream and a jelly cream all were very good. Not you simple light donut. They were very doughy and heavy but very good. If you want to check this place out I would order them in advance as you are guaranteed t
Only problem I had was they didn't turn on the lights we were there at 3;12am but the doughnuts were fantastic and the coffee incredible!! Chocolate cream pie doughnut!!! Yumm so worth the 30min drive Best Old fashioned too I'm dieing to try the fritters we were to early!!
We come here just about every Saturday! The donuts are excellent and the staff is incredibly friendly. A business that you love to support!
I'm originally from NY. This donut shop reminds me of Peter Pan donut shop in Brooklyn. Brothers donuts is the best donut shop in NH hands down!!
It is a local donut shop the product is great.
We order our donuts generally for special occasions. When we do order through Facebook, they are quick to respond and our order is always right. Give a pickup time and the wait is minimal.
First time here, amazing service better donuts
After months of waiting to try these donuts ( I live over an hour away ), I finally made it out to Franklin. Small storefront, very efficient staff. I got a dozen assorted, and a maple bacon for the car ride. That maple bacon didn't even make it to the Franklin town line. Incredible! Every donut was delicious!
If you don't stop and get a dozen or two, you are just mIssing out! Huge donuts, great New Hampshire small business. Certain day they also offer doorstep delivery in local areas.
Great old school donuts and they are huge. Been coming here for decades and they always taste great. Sugar, chocolate or glazed are the best, but they have tons of variety.
Not sure what all of the hype is about. Finally made it here and the person helping us had the personality of a snail. Not very welcoming, and the donuts were just ok. I thought the donuts would be a cosmic experience. They were not bad, just ok though. To be honest the glazed stick is one of my favorites and this one from here was dry. DD glazed stick is soft and moist cake. Even the chocolate cake donut dry from here.
Donuts were excellent but the service was very unprofessional. I have been waiting to go to this place for a long time but the experience with the person at the counter was very disappointing. We were rushed at the counter felt unwelcomed (we were "bothering" the counter person), then in middle of ordering, 2 screaming (grandchildren?) kids came running behind counter, our order couldn't be heard properly and we were spoken to hastily. we paid quickly and left. Unfortunate.
The people who work there are friendly and professional service. Brings me back as a kid, as if 1970, please don't change anything. The food is a delicious and coffee with cream. We need more places like this. Thank you for all you do.
Really good old school donuts. You can order the ones you want the day before on Facebook.
Voted number 2 in New England. Get up here early or order ahead these donuts are amazing. So rich and filling I cant eat one in one setting lol.
This is a small town donut shop but it beats out many places we've been the donuts here are amazing!! We make it a go to every sat morn and if there are certain kinds of donuts you really like you can order them ahead of time to be sure you'll get them
Donuts are great. They are larger than the average donut and priced fair. If your looking for a great tasting donut would definitely recommend. The only reason I give them a 3 is because of the customer service. Everytime I stop there I feel like I'm inconveniencing them by placing my order. They seem cranky and I always feel unwelcome.
Got about a dozen donuts Regular and specialty came out to 20.50 CASH/ VENMO!! It?s been a long time since I have had a mouth watering doughnut. They gifantic and delicious !!!!
The best donuts in New Hampshire.
They have the Best donuts in New Hampshire ?? Josh is absolutely amazing he made my day. They taste fresh, and there real, they beat Dunkin Donuts by a landslide. Absolutely ?? I tell my friends on the Seacoast of New Hampshire about this place. Worth the 1hour and 30 minute drive ?? ??. Remember to bring cash ??. Great Job guys.
Their donuts are to DIE FOR. Nothing like your modern day donut shop. Everything is fresh and delicious. Family owned and operated so you can feel comfortable and at home. I grab from here regularly. Better get in early though because these donuts can go FAST.
Some of the best donuts I've ever had!!! People are super nice and will go over and above for their customers!!!
Cash only which isn?t too bad just an inconvenience.
Excellent donuts. We?re visiting the area and decided to give this place a try based on positive reviews. The kids were very glad we did. Best donuts I?ve had in a long time (since Ma?s Donuts in NB, MA closed its doors).
Love the donuts. I used to always get them at the New Hampton School country store. I hope they sell them there again sooooon.
Here is what I don't understand... these donuts are incredibly bad.. my parents live in hill and I have 4 kids who love donuts... ALL of us can't stomach eating a whole donut... it is absolutely insane that this place is even open considering the quality of every donut I've tried. Its not suprising that the residents of crack head franklin enjoy it but holy God these are awful.
The best donuts ?? ever made
Woke up at 2 am and went out to Brothers Donuts.. Even at that early hour, the staff were friendly and accomodating. The Twix bar and strawberry cream were amazing, as were the plain, glazed, and chocolate glazed! Can't go wrong at Brother's donuts in Franklin!
Brothers Donuts are my favorite!! We had 12 dozen of Brothers donuts for our wedding dessert, and they were the biggest hit ever!! Brothers has the best staff- they're always so friendly and remember your personal orders, and they were so easy and fun to work with for our wedding. Their prices are unbeatable, too! Thank you, Brothers!!!
My English teacher in high school used to bring these donuts to class for us on special occasions. I still remember and tell tale of these epic East Coast donuts now that I?m forty and living in San Francisco. If you want a really authentic New England Fall feeling just pick up some classic glazed donuts and a cup of coffee on your way North and you?re set for leaf peeping!
This Saturday, my grandson Logan & I fulfilled a goal of walking to our little towns fabled donut emporium at 3am. For a 10 year old, a mysterious nocturnal journey with grandpa in search of a magical bakery is the stuff lifetime memories are made of. The donuts themselves are amazing circles of decadent delight
Best donuts I've had in the whole state of New Hampshire, by a long shot. The apple or blueberry fritters are an especially great choice. The only negative thing about this place is they usually sell out of some items by around noon. They are a cash ONLY pla e, so keep that in mind before you go!
Their donuts are known statewide for a reason! They taste amazing and are much larger than any donuts you'll get anywhere else. The only bad part about getting donuts, Danishes or other baked goods from Brothers Donuts is that you'll never like the same products from anywhere else lol Dunkin Donuts' donuts just taste like cardboard to me now lol
The best donuts ever!! I kinda wish they would renovate the inside to welcome more people to come in and sit to have coffee and donuts. However I will not complain or knock this place because they've been around since I was a little girl and I enjoy going every once in a while to grab the best HOMEMADE donuts ever!!
The donuts are so much better than the chains. Only ding it for cash only and the early hour they close. There has been a few times I wanted to stop but didn?t have cash or it was after 10 in the morning.
Best donuts around. Staff is hard working and accommodating to orders. We made a last minute order of 12 dozen donuts, and they had it ready at 5:30am for me to pick up the next morning. A+++
Friendly, happy and so nice. Do yourself a favor and order up some maple bacon donuts or a lovely lemon filled. Brothers Donuts never disappoints.
So I grabbed a couple dozen for an event last week. None of my friends at the event had had these delightful pieces of love. A couple hours later, one of of my friends comes up to me and says ?We have a problem,? and then shows me the empty box with a huge grin on her face. I think I finally showed them what the good stuff is and they?ll be begging me to grab more for the next time,
The doughnuts are gross. Read the tone of every rebuttal you post here. THAT is your customer service problem. You have an excuse for EVERYTHING.
Amazing donuts!! Super cozy no frills place with very friendly staff. Need to get there early or many varieties sell out. They have coffee and hot chocolate as well.
Best donuts ever! And they let you order the day before so they can put your donuts aside for you since if you get there after 9 am you probably won't have much left to choose from
I go to brothers donuts at least once a month ..donuts are the best by far!! I can even freeze the ones I get without filling and they last quite a while..the muffins are awsome as well warm them in the microwave with some butter and they just melt in your mouth..Get there early for the best selection as they fly off the shelf!!
Best doughnuts around. They had blueberry fritters last time, which were amazing! Friendly staff, highly recommend??
I feel these are the best doughnuts in nh. You have to get there realy early in the a.m for a good selection. Also great iced coffee
I'll attempt a description of these donuts, but I can tell you already I'm not doing them justice. They are fresh, light, flavorful, divinely decadent and almost always gone by the time you get there, so I recommend ordering in advance to reserve yours. My favorites include the Boston Cremes, Coffee Rolls, and Sugared Jellys, as well as the glazed donuts (way better than Krispie Cremes, and not even in the same universe as Dunkin'). Worth the drive to Franklin, NH especially in the fall, and on the way to
Get there early (before 6:30am) or you might not get any of the Best doughnuts in the state, the building isn't much to look at but the doughnuts are well worth it. Everyone gets really excited at work when I bring in a couple dozen of brother's doughnuts and they all get disappointed when some else brings in donuts from dunkies
Brothers dounts are a true old fashioned style that are truly delicious. The dounts are made fresh every day and the passion comes through in every bite. These are very friendly and kind people who love what they do and as long as they are here, I will come back. This store was on New Hampshire Chronicle and believe me for good reason. I guarantee you will love these dounts once you try them.
Got up early on a Saturday morning and drove up to Franklin to check out Brothers Donuts. Super friendly staff, super good donuts! You have to get there early for the best selection - they go FAST!
Amazingly delicious doughnuts! Perfection.. is this. Pillowy and deliciously eatable dough, flavor-full and creamy fillings (their jelly and cream is my favorite), and thick coatings of chocolate and glaze. Their glazed doughnuts are also one of my favorites, the sugar is thick enough to be a crunchy layer until you get to soft, perfect doughnut dough.
They have the best donuts, they always sell out early, because they are so good, you should order the day before, in order to get the selection you want, if you have never tried them, it's a great treat, enjoy, I know I do ??
Love the blueberry crumb coffee and all the donuts, they're isn't one don't I could say I don't like. I love them all ? great staff too always pleasant even at 3am
A dear friend would bring these in to work. They are the BEST DOUGHNUTS that I have had since I was a kid in Brooklyn. The texture, taste and allover quality is impeccable. I wish they did mail order as I have relocated far, far away.
This is a staple business in Franklin. It has been there for a long time. Great place to visit.
I love brother's donuts because they are the best donuts you can get.people out there who think making donuts are easy, you are dead wrong.i worked at brothers donuts in 1983 i was only 16 years old & i loved Woking for the owners they are a very close family. It was mel & his brother drem come try they started out with wooden boxes to proof there yeast donuts because they had used all there money up for all the most lmportant things they neeed.the brothers come up with one gret idea on how to proof ther
The donuts are good but you'd better get there earlier rather than later because the selection dwindles as the time passes.
Great donuts, friendly staff, hometown feel. Worth stopping by if you're in the area.
Went yesterday to pick up the traditional Christmas dozen. Staff is friendly and the donuts are awesome. I've never been disappointed.
Excellent donuts! The way you remember them. Call in your order the day before if your getting more than a couple as they sell out quick.
In all my travels, the best donuts you?ll ever have are located right in my hometown of Franklin NH. Brothers Donuts and Deli Shop are hands down the best!
The best cake donuts I've had. They were still good a couple days later too!
Went here for first time, driving over from Hartford, VT. They have Great Coffee and Donuts, don't go through Franklin, NH without checking them out :-)
The donuts they have at brothers are ridiculously good!! Can't say that I've found any place to best them yet and I've been all over the US!! Great job guys keep it up!
The best donuts ever. One of theirs is equivilant to other donut shop's 3. Super filling, fresh and just...perfect.
Most amazing donuts ever. My favorite. Its a must stop but get there early. Sell out quick.
Definitely best donuts in NH. But get there early, like earlyyy. Anytime after 7a.m and they're likely sold out.
Best donuts around! You can smell them on the street if you are up early enough and walking thru downtown.
I love donuts, and these are by far my favorites And I?ve eaten from many different donut shops in my lifetime from all over the country.
The donuts are amazing, if you can get over how gross the location is. The chocolate glazed is sooooo good.
Listen - if you don't already know about Brothers... Just go. Cash only. Best donuts ever. Get there early (they open at 3!).
A local gem we are so lucky to have. I hope we keep you for always. Absolutely delicious
Some of the best donuts I have had in a long time.????
The donuts are big and there are some good varieties.
Best donuts in town. Always delicious. Very filling.
Great FRESH doughnuts and friendly people running the shop. If you are old enough to remember this is how Dunkin Donuts was about twenty years ago.
