Blackbird never disappoints. Great flavors, seasonally always changing, donuts have variety depending on which type of dough/base you get. My favorite is the chocolate cake frosted but it always runs out! Get here early!

As always, the best place in Boston for unusual donuts.

I like to try a donut place’s plain glazed donut and kind of use that as a yardstick, and Blackbird’s is great—simple, sweet but not overpowering, great texture.Plus they have a lot of different flavors—a really creative and interesting variety. Give the everything bagel donut a try!!!

Donuts are one of my wife's favorite desserts. Although she was very thin ten years ago, she has put on weight recently. I guess it must be because of donuts. Nevertheless, I still recommend everyone to taste the donuts at this restaurant, they are really delicious!

Yummy donuts and coffee, a little pricey but the best I've had in Boston!

While technically a donut in shape, this didn’t taste like a decent donut.

Kind of a weird take out only location, but the staff was friendly and the doughnuts were yummy! We tried the blueberry Bismarck, the Shirley temple, the matcha, the Boston cream, the black raspberry, the s'more, and the guava monkeybread. I really liked the Boston cream and the matcha doughnut. The black raspberry was a little too sweet for me. They were a little pricey overall.

I'm just going to say it: Blackbird is better then Union Square Donuts, and I'd like everyone to know it. Only problem is their locations almost never have seating but it's a small price to pay. If you ever go when they have a donut with the cold brew glaze, get that one. And if anyone from Blackbird reads this, you should bring back the Ruby Lavender sometime, it was absolutely divine.

Inconspicuous store front, let’s locals enjoy the donuts without having to go downtown! Has coffee/cold brew, not full coffee bar experience, but does have all the donuts ?
omg omg the best donuts and they have vegan options. Their brioche base is hands down the best anywhere. I do wish they had more vegan options and offered at least one plain beautiful vegan brioche in its simplicity.

Just tried to get a donut but I wasn't let into the store. It says they close at 1 and I am here at 12:20. The worst part was I could see a family in there that was able to order. I was given no explanation. Only a locked door and a unwelcoming face from the employee inside who clearly just wanted to go home early today...

I love that there are vegan options. When i visited last weekend a few minutes before closing, they were about to throw out all the donuts when I arrived at the brighton location before closing. Super disappointing they don't donate their daily donuts or offer a bulk amount at a discounted price 5 minutes before closing.

People have been asking me to try Blackbird for a long time! Finally bought a box of six doughnuts to share with friends to share the guilt haha. They all tasted so good that I forgot to take a photo of everything until we were almost done with most of it. My favorite is definitely the Everything Bagel dougnut! The garlic, poppy seeds, cream cheese with doughnut is too hard to resist! Other flavors were are also great including boston cream, chocolate old fashioned, the blackbird, and carrot raspberry (a little too sweet but you will like it if you like sweet things).
