 Eastern Donuts, 356 Eastern Ave. Chelsea

 Located in the Industrial part of Chelsea, Eastern is actually kind of
 clean and in a fairly new building.  They only make donuts in the
 morning and close in the mid afternoon.  Close to East Boston.

 I concur, her doughnuts are better than pretty good.

 It's across the street from the T's trolley barn (follow the wires up Mass
 Ave from Harvard to the end) and is also a hangout for drivers between
 trips.
