Wow!! What an excellent donut shop. As a coffee and donut shop connoisseur🤪, RI Guys rates at the top. I love that the menu is simple and defined. Not a confusing menu at all. We ordered coffees, bagels with cream cheese, and 6 donuts. The coffee was terrific. The bagels were lightly toasted with a creamy, smooth cream cheese spread. The donuts are definitely the best around. Not one complaint or criticism from our kids. The staff were very friendly and personable. They shared stickers for each of our six kids and the kids really appreciated their kindness. They were very efficient, but not overly rushing through the orders. Great place and we will definitely be back soon!! Thank you, RI Guys!! I appreciate your service and products.

Tried this long awaited Wakefield donut location yesterday. I ordered a simple glazed donut and a cinnamon roll. As a point of reference, of all the glazed donuts I’ve ever had, the best is from a regional super market chain (which will remain nameless) and is 99 cents. As another reference point, before retirement, I travel extensively on a weekly basis and tasted a lot of donuts. I do happen to be a minimalist when it comes to food, as an example, I don’t care for PVD donuts (too over the top)This glazed donut came very close to the aforementioned, not as yeasty and fresh tasting, but very very good and also not 99 cents. Simple things done well is not easy, yet speaks volumes to the time and commitment to quality that this donut exhibited. Unfortunately, the cinnamon roll was the complete opposite. Those who know cinnamon rolls, always start with the center first, as it’s always the best part. This was dry and pretty tasteless which didn’t bode well for the rest of it, which I begrudgingly discarded. I don’t understand how off the mark this was on what should have been another shining example of their craft. If I were they, I’d definitely be trying ways to improve this offering.Overall, a nice addition to town

Wow what a pleasure to have such good and tasty donuts. I'm 59 and I grew up on dunkin donuts and Bess Eaton back in the 70's , when they were made in house,.they were excellent but not now. Now, to the review, excellent made donuts that put a smile on your face!! The chocolate cruller was a 10, glazed jelly was excellent as well as the toasted coconut chocolate.

Very tasty -- one of the best Boston cream donuts I've had -- but also super sweet and very heavy. If that's your preference, then these will be heavenly, and they are certainly tasty even if that's not your preference. A good bagel, too!

Went for RI food fights Donut love fest, we chose the chocolate glazed and apple filled cinnamon donut. The service was quick even though there was a huge line and the cashiers were super nice.
