Owned and operated by a Malden local since 1987, the Donut Villa is a homey, old-school kind of place, where men in plaid shirts and baseball hats sit on barstools before plates of eggs and large mugs of black coffee. The shop opens very early each morning, and the racks of freshly made donuts, muffins and bagels start to dwindle throughout the morning, as customers stream in and out, taking large white boxes of baked goods with them. Full breakfasts are also served -- eggs with bacon appears to be the most popular offering here. There is plenty of easy, free parking, too. But be aware: the Villa is cash only. No credit cards are accepted.
