The Improper Bostonian recently published a list of local Mom-and-Pop doughnuts shops in the area to check out. Here is a sampling:

1 doughnut for 75 cents, $3.50 for a half dozen, and $6 for a dozen doughnuts

My own honorable mention to this list is Cafe Mirror in Brighton Center. In addition to being a great, no-frills place to hang out or enjoy a bountiful, cheap breakfast, their doughnuts are not to be missed. Their butternut doughnut is absolutely wonderful and you will enjoy it greatly. Check them out at 362 Washington St., Brighton.
