I've been meaning to finally try these but hadn't had much of a sweet tooth...until Monday. My friends and I quickly stopped in Monday morning and would've paid for the smell of the store alone. The staff was super nice, and patient, as I decided on which 6 donuts to get. The stars of the show were the Boston crème and the cake batter. Yum!! You could tell how fresh they were. There was a perfect amount of filling where it wasn't soggy or too dry. I definitely recommend bringing these somewhere where a group of people can split them. They are definitely on the bigger side and it's more fun to try many flavors in good company :) read more

Blackbird Doughnuts - Fenway - Half dozen assorted donuts - Donuts Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Stopped into Blackbird and tried the iced Ube latte was so good! I got it with oat milk and it was perfect! Not too sweet and just the right balance of flavors. The color is also gorgeous!! I ordered online (on Toast) so my order was ready once I got there which was great! The service was friendly. The inside is small but clean. Perfect for checking out the donuts. It's mainly an order to go place unless you want to sit on the bench outside. I also got a couple donut holes, which were delicious and perfect to pair with the drink. I tried the vegan brioche and cinnamon sugar (also vegan). Both were fantastic! Pleasantly surprised with the vegan options for both the drinks and the donuts. Highly recommend! read more

I've tried many donut places in Boston and blackbird is still comes out on top. Can't beat their blackbird and salted toffee donut. Recently they started serving savory pastries and breakfast sandwiches in their Fenway location. The spinach artichoke galette is incredible!!! Also always a good idea to get a cold brew there too because it has great flavor. Staff are always nice to me and personable. Love going in and saying hi and getting a treat! read more

Blackbird Doughnuts - Fenway - Salted Toffee - Donuts Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This was a small spot that offered a variety of donut flavors with what appeared to be monthly specials as well. The staff was friendly as we waited to decide on what to buy. The donuts were on the larger side. I tried six donuts ($3.50 each). Funfetti - This was tasty, but not really a funfetti flavor. It was mostly just a sweet buttercream. Chocolate Covered Banana - This was a banana icing with a little bit of chocolate. I would have preferred more of a combination of the two, but it tasted mostly like banana. Ube Mousse Bismarck - This had an ube coating on the outside as well as the ube mousse as a filling. This was probably my favorite one because of the creativity and innovation it presented. Everything Bagel - This was definitely odd. There was a cream cheese filing and it just tasted like a bagel. There should have been a glazed icing on the donut layer. If there was, it was hardly tasted because of the cream cheese flavor. Lemon Coconut - This was topped with coconut shavings and a hint of lemon present. This was a somewhat plain. Chocolate Sprinkle - This was a standard donut that was alright. There just seemed to be something missing as the chocolate was bland. Will I go back? Possibly. read more

Agreed with the unfriendly staff that looks bothered for helping you. Every once in a while, I will want to give Blackbird a try again and every time I wish I had gone somewhere else. They don't have almond milk - I mentioned I was gluten-free and Asked if I could see the oat milk that they use and the associate looked at me like I had five heads and was pretty rude about it before she finally set the carton down in front of me . It's a shame because the drinks are actually good but I won't go back due to the service. read more

Living in the same neighborhood as Blackbird calls for monthly visits to try out their seasonal flavors. I personally prefer the texture of their brioche doughnuts over their cake doughnuts, but their excellent and inventive flavors always win me over. My favorites over the years have been the Tiramisu Bismarck, Cold Brew Coconut, and Snow Ball. This location doesn't have seating, except for a bench outside. I usually come on weekday mornings to avoid the weekend lines and to make sure flavors don't sell out. Their service is also excellent. I had an issue with an order on the mobile app, filled out the contact form via their website, and someone reached out to resolve the issue quickly! read more

Two years later and I've finally tried a different donut. The everything bagel donut is a very strange experience but it's delicious. Not too sweet and you could almost feel like you're actually eating a bagel with cream cheese. I still stand by my love for the chocolate old fashioned, though. And I mean, look at their adorable cakes! read more

Blackbird Doughnuts - Fenway - Halloween donut cake and caramel apple donut cake (macarons from Maca) - Donuts Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Walked in 15 minutes before closing time today, and they had decent availability with friendly staff! We ordered 4 donuts to share, and my favorite was the strawberry basil. I would definitely recommend this one for anyone like me who loves fruit-flavored desserts. Also notable was the ice cream cake donut, which is actually not a cake/old-fashioned donut, but it does have an ice cream filling. The ice cream seemed to be coconut-based and perhaps vegan. It didn't have the greatest taste, but I was surprised to find the filling actually cold. We also got the birthday cake and chocolate old fashioned - both were decent. The store itself is fairly small and takeout only, but our donuts came in a cute pink box. read more

Came here for some coffee and doughnuts before a Red Sox game. The place is small and is take out only. I was hoping they at least had a few tables to sit down, enjoy some warm doughnuts with coffee. Unfortunately I had to look for a bench outside across the street to sit down. I ordered a cup of coffee, a Boston cream, and their Everything bagel doughnut. Definitely something new. A doughnuts covered in everything ingredients sliced like a bagel with cream cheese in the middle. Tasted just like an everything bagel, with the doughnuts being softer and more airy then a more dense bagel. The Boston cream was also tasty. The cream filling was good and not that nasty gooey stuff you get at DD. Wouldn't mind coming back for some doughnuts next time I'm in town and in the area. read more

Maybe a little bit over rated. The apple cider donut was really good and the pumpkin pie latte I thought was just ok. I had also had an iced tea which was good. We went around 10 and they already had a small selection of donut. They were also 3.50 each which I didn't find bad, but I didn't find them that good and there are other donut places that would be better. read more

What a delightful hidden find! This donut shop is located around the corner from Target and across the street from Tatte. Fresh donuts - light fluffy dough, not greasy, amd flavorful! They also have mega cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting and biscuits! I love the gruyere chive biscuits! This is donuts and pastry done right! read more

Decided to stop by on our way to Target. We went in the afternoon so they had a limited selection. We ended up getting the Apple Cider Donut and the Vanilla glazed one. Both were solid choices. I would like to try other flavors next time I am in the area! read more

The staff were unfriendly and seemed annoyed to be helping anyone. My sandwich arrived cold, despite being something that should've been served warm, and the chai tea latte --also meant to be hot--was lukewarm at best and tasted like water. Overall, not worth the visit. read more

I was at MGH hospital in Boston before my appointment I noticed there was a Blackbird doughnut shop, never been in there before. Me & my Father both ended up getting two gingerbread doughnuts. We both enjoyed our doughnuts. The girl who waited on us was very friendly, pleasant and made conversation with us. read more

When I went into the store, I loved the aesthetic and decor. We took donuts to-go in the evening and we were lucky to have the last remaining donuts. They were amazing! So flavorful and all of them were a 10/10! The staff was very kind and patient as we decided which donuts to get. They all looked so good and we just wanted 6 lol. I would highly recommend coming here if you want to try some new and fun flavors as well as just tasty donuts. read more

These are my favorite donuts in Fenway. Blackbird always have creative and delicious donuts.

My friend and I came by on a weekday afternoon for a snack. It was pretty empty, so we were served quickly. I got the ice cream cake donut, because I thought it was aesthetically pleasing. The chocolate mousse filling was so delicious and sweet! The cake was dense and satisfying. This is my absolute favorite donut they offer. Overall, I had a great experience and found my favorite donut ever. I'll definitely be back! read more

Blackbird had very tasty donuts! My husband got the blueberry cheesecake donut and loved it, the blackbird donut was just okay. I got a chocolate frosted donut that was fabulous and a chocolate cake donut that was also tasty. Cold brew was really smooth and good too. We got 4 donuts and 2 coffees and it was almost $25. Quite a bit more than we would pay anywhere else for a light breakfast, but a nice treat. Donuts were good, but not worth the $3.50 price tag in our opinion. read more

Blackbird Doughnuts - Fenway - Donuts Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Pros: -Very cute vibe -Creative donut flavors Cons: -Cake donuts underwhelming--opt for yeast -Super small--don't plan to sit (though there is a bench outside) -Lines/congestion. The donuts are displayed in a strange case inside the counter that is only clear on top, meaning you can only see them when you are actually at the register and looking down at the counter. I'd suggest the owners move the donuts to a display case on the counter so you can see it from anywhere in the shop to reduce congestion/wait times. -Pricey @ $3-4 each, but on par with Union Square. -- Triple Chocolate Chocolate cake donut with a very thin layer of frosting and chocolate sprinkles. I loved the rich texture, but didn't get any chocolate taste--it just tasted heavy/oily. I also thought it needed a bit more frosting since I didn't taste it at all! I'd consider getting it again, but it wouldn't be my first choice. Boston Cream Brioche yeast donut topped with chocolate and filled with vanilla custard. I found it the dough to be way too heavy/fried, though the custard was refreshingly light. I probably would not buy again, but will say I found this to be much better than the Union Square competition since the chocolate was less bitter and the dough was slightly less fried tasting. The Blackbird ($3.21) This is their signature namesake flavor--a vanilla bean glazed cake donut. They call it an "old fashioned" but it's not a traditional old fashioned with an uneven crispy exterior and a soft interior--this is just a plain glazed cake donut. It's super soft throughout, and the glaze is decent, but the base dough is so bland it could easily become savory without the glaze. I didn't taste any vanilla flavor. Also, their cake donuts aren't dry in the sense that they taste stale, but when you eat them you definitely need a drink nearby because they stick to your mouth in an unpleasant way. It was a struggle to finish this one! Would not recommend. Vegan Blackbird This is not a cake donut, despite the description. This was seemingly a glazed yeast donut. It was lightly sweetened (not super glazed), but mostly tasted like pizza dough because of the chewiness. I didn't hate it, but definitely would not buy again. Vegan Chocolate "Chip" Again, this is a yeast and not a cake donut. It was glazed with a chocolate ganache that was the highlight of this donut, and topped with some Ruffles chips that were a bit stale. Still, I think I'd get this over the plain vegan glazed because of the chocolate. -- Overall, I haven't found a donut here yet that is worth the price, but I'd still consider trying again given that Blackbird is one of the few places in Boston putting out creative donut flavors. They also seem a little less heavy/oily than USD's donuts, which I appreciate! The vegan donuts aren't great if you can have regular. If you don't have an option, they're not the worst vegan donuts I've had, but still have issues with being a bit too chewy. read more

Blackbird is a small takeout-only donut shop with lots of unique donut flavors - it was hard to choose just one! The donut itself is very generous serving, with lots of creamy filling. However I did feel that this donut lacked any matcha flavor. It may as well have been just a plain lemon donut, not sure if the matcha part was used to boost the appeal. Nonetheless, it was tasty! They also have a small drink menu (cold brew, iced coffee, etc.). There is some bench seating outside of the restaurant. read more

Very disappointed. I got a fruit punch donut, which was not fresh and pretty much a pink regular glazed doughnut. We came around noon and the doughnuts were not fresh at all and the interesting flavors were not flavorful. Skip Blackbird and try elsewhere. read more

Blackbird Doughnuts - Fenway - Fruit Punch - Donuts Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I generally order delivery for various reasons. I used to like to treat myself once a month on a weekend when the new specials came out. Now? Not so much. It's unbelievable to me that a shop will regularly fulfill orders incorrectly. Sometimes up to 75% wrong. And you can't tell me it's because I ordered too late--sometimes my order was the third of the day. So either they don't care to provide the right donuts, they do it on purpose, or they don't keep their menu up to date. Either way, it's disappointing every time, and I can't even say whether or not the donuts are good because I never get the ones I order. Maybe they're good in person. I sure wish they cared enough to make every kind of customer happy. (Note that this applies to the Fenway location and the Brighton location.) read more

This is a cute, small doughnut shop that offers take out, no dine in (there is a little bench right outside). I loved the Vanilla Ice Cream Doughnut Sandwich! It is very filling. You can select any doughnut with vanilla/chocolate ice cream. When I went, most of the doughnuts were already sold out and there was a line formed. The earlier you come, the better/more doughnut flavor options! read more

Delicious donut but was so disappointed with the size. I had a blueberry cake donut. It was nicely flavored with blueberries. The blueberries tasted very fresh. Having said that, I would say it was an excellent blueberry cake donut but no better than Dunkin' Donuts' blueberry cake doughnut. My husband had the Boston Cream and he said it was excellent. The chocolate was high-quality and his donut did seem bigger than mine. So, for the price of my donut, I was expecting much more wow and left wanting more, literally and figuratively. The service was great though and I would go back. However, I would not get the blueberry cake. I might try another donut. read more

Whatever you do, don't misunderstand: I'm not hating on Dunkin' Donuts. Dunk's donuts are okay for the mass-produced things they are, though the bar isn't set particularly high. Therefore, I would hope a small business would be able to beat them. Alas, even being the first one here one morning, my donut tasted day-old, if not a little stale. On my first visit, I had the Cannoli Donut. I enjoyed the creativity employed, and I don't recall the cream/ricotta being overly sweet. On the flip-side, however, I found the donut to be fairly dense, and not in a positive way, if you know what I mean. If I were to guess, I'd say it had to do with texture as much as flavor. Imagine a doughy slice of wonder bread versus a slice of whole grain. Not a great metaphor, but I think It'll do. On my second visit, I had a more garden-variety donut, though I don't remember the exact flavor. I do recall the stale quality of the dough as if it was cooked the day before. If I was here towards the tail-end of the day, this might be forgivable. Alas, I was the first customer through the door. Furthermore, having experienced Kane's donuts fresh, they blow these out of the water. There's just no comparison. The location itself is tiny, don't even count on snagging a high-chair by the window, there aren't any. The coffee is okay, nothing remarkable, and no espresso-based options. No complaints regarding the service. In closing, a charming location with some creative donuts is overshadowed by a lack of freshness and quality. In light of this, there are probably better places to spend three bucks on a donut, like Kane's, even though it may be a couple quarters extra. read more

As someone who became lactose intolerant, I've struggled with finding dairy free donuts that taste like the real thing. They never have the proper doughy texture or the "yeasty" taste of a properly risen donut. While Blackbird only has a few vegan options (they only had 2 vegan donuts when I went, and you have to ask which ones are vegan) the ones they do have are amazing. I got the boysenberry jam donut and mango mojito and both exceeded my expectations. My favorite out of the two was the boysenberry one because of how simple yet delicious it was. The donut is soft brioche bread with jam, lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar. I couldn't stop myself from finishing this one and I still crave it today (a little dramatic, but true) The mango mojito is a mango flavored glazed donut with a sour candy gummy as deco. This one was pretty great too and I finished it soon after the first one (maybe one too many sweets for the day but there were no regret). If the vegan donuts are this good, I can't imagine how the regular ones taste like. Definitely a must try for donut lovers. read more

I came here on a Saturday a little after 12...and they were sold out of interesting donuts. I ended up ordering the strawberry lemon, and cookies n cream donuts. If you order 4+, they put the donuts in a nice box. Since I was just trying the donuts, I ordered 2. I didn't eat the donuts right away so the strawberry cream smeared on to the bag :( But overall, these are delicious. Still haven't tried the other popular chains, like Union square. But this location is convenient. Definitely will be back to try other flavors! read more

Finally, there's a specialty donut shop in area! Let's talk about that space that everyone is seem to dislike, yeah? The interior is chic, clean but definitely in a small confined space. Given the space, they utilized the line divider in front of the register to get customers in and out in an organized fashion. The selections of donuts and drinks are in plastered on the wall for people to make their selections early to avoid contemplating on what to get when they're up next. And what?! The donut with the boldly pink frosting was too sweet?! It's donuts, come on guys. Lemon Poppy- My favorite! Light and soft cake style donut topped with a little zest. Tahitian Vanilla- A heavenly tasting donut with floral tones. 10/10. Jasmine Iced Tea- This was a nice revitalizing beverage on the hot day we just had! Overall Service: Excellent customer service from a staff with a happy-go-lucky demeanor. We were in and out with a smile. Welcome to Fenway Blackbird. read more

I've been a loyal patron of Blackbird basically since they opened, so much so that we had them cater a dessert wall at our wedding (which was EXCELLENT). On this particularly balmy winter day (it was in the 70s), we got a cold brew float and the ice cream cake yeasted doughnut. Both were excellent as expected -- the cold brew is good (Fazenda) standalone, and with the ice cream shaped into ice cubes, it's extra fun with the taste improving as the flavors combine. The doughnut didn't taste too much like ice cream cake per se, but that's forgivable since the doughnut is just so damn good. Fun sprinkles on top, beautiful rich mousse within, and the perfect, fluffy doughnut encompassing it all like a hug. Come here. Best doughnuts in Boston. Awesome flavors, cool staff. read more
