Gail Ann Coffee Shop
10 Medford St, Arlington, MA
Crema's Take
“This Arlington gem centers around genuinely excellent, oversized donuts that put chain competitors to shame, paired with solid New England Coffee and a refreshingly quiet atmosphere perfect for lingering over your laptop. The crew moves fast and keeps things friendly, and while they're cash-only, they'll take Venmo too—a small touch that shows they get it. Whether you're grabbing a Boston cream donut and cold brew for a quick caffeine fix or settling in with a full breakfast, you're getting real quality at fair prices.”

Huge Freshly Baked Donuts! Loved the donuts and coffee is New England Coffee. A dozen of donuts and coffee was $54.
Love this place! The donuts are incredible, and service is always quick and friendly. Their Boston cream is the best around!
Cold brew coffee was great and the donut was fantastic as well. They are cash only but do take venmo as well, which was fantastic because I did not have cash on me. Cafe was quiet and I was able to sit and read for a bit. Great little family owned coffee shop.
I only bought a jelly donut, a spinach & feta pastry, and a smoothie here, but they were all delicious, and the size of the donuts are significantly larger than, say, Dunkin Donuts'. The spinach & feta pastry was amazing--really creamy filling with buttery, croissant-like bread. There staff is also very friendly and helpful.
This place has better coffee at half the price and the most amazing pastries - just good ol' fashioned, sugary, delicious doughnuts. Completely unlike Vernas down the street and IMO much better than Vernas. I always grab a chocolate cruller when I'm in the area.
