The mysterious DONUT SMELL.

[prog.livejournal.com]

Sometimes when I walk down Highland Avenue in the morning, I distinctly smell fresh donuts. I catch this whiff in a varying location between the Willow and Hancock intersections. However, there are no donut shops or bakeries that I know of near this section of road. The closest donut-aware bakeries I could name are in either Davis or Ball Squares, which are just too far away from this location.

So: is there a hidden donut shop I, tragically, don't know about, in that area? Or am I just falling victim to wishful smelling?

I also checked Boston Magazine's website but couldn't find any articles about secret donut factories in Somerville in their online archives.

It was an article earlier this year - maybe in the winter - that focused primarily on the Dunkins vs. Krispy Kreme debate, but also talked about small, locally-owned donut places. I might still have the hard copy in my apartment somewhere. I will have to look for it.
