Honey Dew Donuts

Honey Dew Donuts is a Massachusetts-based donut and breakfast quick-service chain. Starting out as a simple coffee and donuts brand, Honey Dew has expanded in size and selections, now offering mouth-watering muffins, pastries, bagels, breakfast sandwiches, gourmet flavored coffees and frozen beverages. Honey Dew gets more creative than most food shops and never stops thinking about ‘what’s next’ as a way of keeping customers satisfied and coming back. Banana Split Sticks, Strawberry Muffin Tops, Coconut Almond Mocha, and smoothies made with Red Bull energy drink are only a few of the creative items on the menu. No matter what customers try on the Honey Dew Donuts menu, they experience a level of quality and freshness that only Honey Dew can deliver.

Honey Dew Donuts was founded in 1973 by Richard Bowen, who always had a passion for donuts, and worked in a donut shop as a kid. Bowen opened his first Honey Dew Donuts shop in Mansfield, Massachusetts, quickly becoming a local favorite. He sold his first franchise in 1975, and continued growing through franchises ever since. Today, Honey Dew Donuts, still overseen by Bowen, operates more than 140 shops throughout New England.
