Allston, MA – It has been an Allston fixture since 1955. On Sunday, Twin Nuts served their final client.
Two weeks ago, the breakfast spot announced that it would close by the end of the month. On the last day, customers lined up in line all morning. Noacenzell had never been before. He said the donuts were pretty good.
“I signed the card first and last,” he said.
The “card” was actually a large piece of paper attached to the window, and it was difficult to squeeze emotions by squeezing them in the morning.
“I’ve actually come here every week since I discovered the Twin Nuts,” Zelda Mayer said. “So I was actually heartbroken about the closure.”
Closures are the result of a series of unacceptable facts. The Teing family, a Cambodian refugee who purchased the business 25 years ago, said it encouraged the decision to close the business because of the high costs, everything from materials to supplies to rentals.
“We’ve been here for three years now,” Veronik Rodriguez said. “Essentially a few years ago, I started coming to Twin Nuts because I wanted to reconnect with my post-lockdown neighbourhood and become a regular somewhere.”
Rodriguez and others said it was the owners who made the twin nuts special.
“I’m going to miss them so much,” Rodriguez said. “I’m going to miss their presence at Allston. And I’m North Beacon, this was an Allston beacon, so there’s no beacon. I’ll miss a lot of that.”
