Great GF donuts. They’re made in a separate gluten-free facility and then brought into the stores. The staff change their gloves and know to put the GF donuts in a separate bag/box. They have gluten free bread for the breakfast sandwiches, but I’ve never tried those. Their hash browns are not gluten free.

Visited the Saugus located for the first time in 5 years. They have a lot more gluten free donuts flavors now, which is really great. I believe they make their gluten free items in a separate facility but they have a lot of gluten items out and about next to them. If you're worried about cross contamination in-shop, it's definitely worth asking. I tried the Lemon poppyseed (9/10) Blueberry (8/10) Cinnamon Sugar (9/10) Peppermint patty (4/10)

They are all huge and very sugary. 😊

Amazing! Great gluten free donuts, coffee and music. Staff were friendly. We arrived around 8am on a Sunday and there were plenty of gluten free options.

Very sugary but good. I wish they had some options that were a bit less sweet. I believe all gf bagels are baked in a gf dedicated kitchen but they do sell donuts with gluten in them in their shops.

I never thought I would have donuts like these again! They're delicious! The only downside is that they're dry. I always need to eat them with a glass of water

This location is open latest so I placed an order online for pickup. Got a variety of gf donuts. Was nervous to try them but didn’t get sick! I believe the gf donuts are made at their dedicated facility but there are regular donuts in the building once they are brought to the other location. I do not believe I’m that sensitive though. Delicious donuts. Very happy!

Tested “gluten found” with my Nina sensor. They gave me new donuts that also tested as “gluten found.” Can’t comment on how the donuts actually taste because of the gluten found…

Best gluten free donut that’s not home made. Rotates KGF ( Kane’s gluten free) donut offerings up. Very good about separating gluten free donuts into different bags or containers when ordering both gf and regular.

I was told about this donut shop and decided to check out GF options. Boy was I surprised. Gf donuts that were out this world. And they make them only at this location. You can’t even tell the difference. You will be surprised as well

I have been going to kanes donuts since they first opened up. Great donuts and tasty breakfast sandwiches. The reason why I gave 4 stars is because the staff here is extremely rude. I told the cashier if he could put my non gf donut in a separate bag from the gf donuts and he gave me attitude and said, “it defeats the purpose if I put them in the same bag”. I only reassured him because before a cashier did not change her gloves and almost touched my gf donut with contaminated gloves. He didn’t have to be so rude, but I recommend going through the drive thru or visiting Lincoln ave instead!

Awesome!!! Asked them to put gluten containing and GF donuts in separate containers. They immediately told me about their safety protocols (automatically putting GF and gluten donuts in separate containers, donuts made in separate facilities). The donuts are also amazing, and there are tons of options. Definitely recommend!

delicious gf donuts! Pricey but it’s worth it. They make the gluten free ones in a dedicated facility, but they also sell regular donuts out of that store. It’s enough for me and I’ve never had a reaction.

Gf chocolate donuts that remind me of the good old days being able to eat at Dunkin’ Donuts!! I’ve never found a gf donut like it. Their old fashioned glazed, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon sugar donuts are all amazing. They’ve consistently added flavors over the last few years until they now have 15 (fifteen!!!) permanent gf flavors. They’re also made in a totally separate building so there is no kitchen cross contamination. They’re so good that a non-gf family member, who hardly even likes donuts, loved them!

They sometimes sell out of certain flavors - you can order online for pickup at a certain time, and I highly recommend that if you have a particular flavor you want to try!

They always have a large selection of gluten-free options and have really enjoyed almost all of them. The couple muffins I tried were also very good. I do worry that they keep them around the gluten items, but I have never gotten sick after many visits, and the staff seems to know enough to change gloves and keep them in separate bags before I ask.

Ordered 3 gluten free donuts via Uber Eats! Very delish, pretty fast, and did not get sick but they did mess up the flavors I ordered. I asked for one glazed, one cinnamon sugar, and one maple bacon. What I received was one maple bacon and two glazed. However they were so good that I almost didn’t care. Taste and texture is A+.

I bought two really amazing doughnuts at the Boston location earlier this week, so I was super excited to stop at this location and grab some more. I bought 6, and unfortunately, the first one made me sick. I’m not sure what went wrong, but the Boston location is safe and this one is apparently not!
