Boston's best independent doughnut shops

Verna’s Coffee and Donut Shop This Cambridge pastry titan named a doughnut the “Honey Tip,’’ for its most famous one-time regular, the late US Speaker of the House Thomas P. “Tip’’ O’Neill. This is an unassuming place where locals still gather in a small side room, but Verna’s is legendary for delicious doughnuts. These are a little more stiff than the standard dunker, but that takes nothing away from the soaring flavor of the buttercrunch, plain, and of course, the “Honey Tip.’’ 2344 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, 617-354-4110. www.vernaspastry.com (95 cents each; $7.59/dozen)
