![]() ![]() "We invite you to try something new for breakfast. "Don't expect plain-Jane pancakes," Jessica said. ![]() Here you'll see more Portuguese-infused dishes you won't find at most other local establishments. Other days we're like 'We got this, we've done it all.' We've pivoted, adapted to change accordingly, and constantly growing and always looking for the best way to improve."įor anyone who has yet to try Tia Maria's, it's not your standard breakfast place. It's hard to believe that it's been 10 years, even though some days it feels like I'm still in infancy, just getting started as the new kid on the block. ![]() The days are long but the years go by fast. "It was nice to have our family and friends come together that have supported us throughout the years to celebrate this milestone. I only gave it 4 stars because, other than the perfect, reliable iced coffee, it's just another typical donut shop with a cramped parking lot and a bunch of hot waitresses who barely speak english."Sunday was great," Jessica Arruda said. Read my lips: HoneyDew Iced Coffee = Consistently, Reliably AWESOME! It's just a huge relief to know that you can count on that same cool, refreshing, iced coffee experience every single time instead of having to worry about taking that first sip and puckering up like a dying blowfish. I mean, only a die-hard drinker of iced coffee can fully appreciate what I'm saying here. Every single time it's the same darn awesome iced coffee I've had every single other time I've been there. I can go to a single Dunkin Donuts several times in one day and have the iced coffee taste significantly different each time, and not always good.īut, my nephew introduced me to something very peculiar - the iced coffee at this HoneyDew is SPOT ON every single time. I'm writing about this HoneyDew for one reason, and one reason ONLY: There's enough hypersweetened chocolate filling inside that sucker to frost a medium-sized cat, and the peanut butter-smeared top is coated with what my wife (a legitimate expert on all things Reeses') conservatively estimated to be the crumbled remains of "at least four full-size peanut butter cups." The donut itself isn't any better than their other raised offerings, but they still get all the credit in the universe for going balls-out. It's excessive and joyous in a Voodoo Donuts (in Portland, Oregon) kind of way that beats out even Kane's for sheer wackiness. Their Reeses' Peanut Butter donut is absurd. In fact, it's easily better than what you'd find at similar independent donutters - in particular, I'm thinking of Gail Ann in Belmont and Linda's in Arlington.īut, as rad as it was, the cider donut isn't why this place deserves the Kurtz Award. Their apple cider donuts are not, in any way, reminiscent of what you'd get at some orchard, but they're still the best expression of an old-school, New England-style old-fashioned honey dew donut I've ever had in a chain store, and nothing like I've ever found at a Honey Dew before. And I mean that as the highest of compliments. If Honey Dew was ever supposed to be a proper, predictable donut chain with a rigid chain of command and some sort of consistency between branches, then these dudes have gone completely off the reservation, Col. ![]()
