The breaded part of the donuts was so delicious and tasted like fried dough at the beach or a carnival. So good! The line was moving slowly, despite only two customers ahead of us, which kind of surprised us. There were three people behind the counter, so I'm not sure why it took so long, but we were patient and enjoyed the donuts very much! Not really any ambiance is present here because it is an order-based line and the space constraints keep them from offering any tables, but the aim here is efficiently getting people in and out. So this does the job. Great donuts! Highly recommend!

Pretty damn good donuts! Behind some construction and an uber ride away I found Kane's Donuts. A…read morelocal recommended them and it was worth the stop. They are fluffy and tasty. Not necessarily my favorite type, I prefer more cake type with some density but these were pretty good. I came late so the fritters were gone but he was able to pull together a bag of mixed smaller fritter pieces which I enjoyed. If this was an Apple fritter, they were missing the Apple? Still the sugar on the bottom and the wonderful cinnamon taste made me eat them all. The best donut left looked to be the jelly filled. Haven't enjoyed one of these in a while. Still as good as I remembered. The fancy donuts looked to be gluten free, they had a ton of them. Probably because nobody likes gluten free donuts... Kane's reminded me of a great local donut shop with a touch of class. If I was close by I'd grab them again but likely to seek out another shop in Boston to compare next time I'm back.

And I was thinking to myself.. "This could be Heaven or…read morethis could be Hell" Back door donuts is deep in Red Sox territory. I'm actually looking at the green monster while eating my doughnut. I'm reviewing the menu choices as I wait on line. I have one couple in front of me finishing up. I could go for a nice hot cup of coffee along with my doughnut. I walk up to the window and ask, Do you sell coffee? No, just doughnuts. Water? No, just doughnuts. When in Boston, how do you pass up a Boston Crème Doughnut? Well, when they're making Apple Fritters from scratch, everything else will have to wait until my next visit. I pay for my fritter and sit at one of the outdoor tables. The bar next door has a live band playing, it's a good night in Boston as I take a bite of my fritter. First, this is a warm treat. They must of made the fritter and kept it warm in the small oven. The exterior shell is almost crunchy as I get big chucks of fresh apples. This fritter is like a big hug, each bite is warm and comforting. Back Door Donuts, you did a great job the other day! My Apple Fritter was fresh and tasted great. I sure was thirsty tho...

I tried this place a while ago. Compared to most other places, these donuts are mediocre at best. I…read morewouldn't waste my time with this place with the bad hours and line of belligerently intoxicated people you need to get through to get your order unless you're already there at that time and also intoxicated. What's worse is that they won't stop sending emails to you if you order from them online. they take your email from toast tab and market to you, so be careful of that when you order online from them. You need to ask toast tab to take you off a list, but it doesn't work. They will keep sending emails.

Visit quickly because I believe it ends on March 9th. Having received literally one of the last donuts of the weekend I could not have been more thrilled. I didn't even get a complete donut - they had run out of the Bavarian cream filling. But the donut was light, yeasty, and delicious. The chocolate frosting was so rich! I cannot wait to get there even earlier next weekend! Also, as someone that gets starstruck a little too easily it was really awesome to see Stephanie in person slinging her donuts. I wish her nothing but the best - well and quick funding for her own brick and mortar.

There was a line, but it was fast and efficient I tried the Coconut Cake, the cake itself was moist and freshly made. The coconut filling in between the layers were absolutely delicious.I thought the outside frosting was a little too sweet for me. I also tried the Plain Ricotta Cannoli, since the Florentine was sold out. It was not made to order, but still freshly made. I really enjoyed the richness of the cannoli and the shell was not too sweet. I will say this bakery is the most affordable, I got both these pastries for only $11.

The strawberry donut was soft with a sweet glaze that actually tasted like real strawberries, not that fake candy flavor. The lemon poppyseed had a nice citrusy kick, a little more dense than the others, but in a good way. The Maine blueberry was the standout. Bursting with flavor and the glaze wasn't overly sugary. You could taste actual blueberry in every bite. They're definitely on the bigger side. Everything felt fresh and made with care. The shop itself is laid back, no rush, has that Massachusetts vibe to it. Prices are a little higher than your average donut shop, but the quality is there. Solid spot if you're into creative flavors that still feel homemade. Highly recommend.

The total with a tip was 30.00. Insane. The Boston Cream Pie donuts were decent but the other 3 were too dense and stale. A donut should be light and airy and FRESH.

First of all, the pastry case just beautifully displays all the baked goods. It's quite a sight to see! I love the variety and flavors, very unique. If you know what you want, gotta get in line and grab it quick! If you wanna put in your own order, you can use the kiosk, which is really fun to use. I ordered a chai with oat milk (it's very light in flavor) and got a bialy. Honestly I had not had a bialy in over 25+ years... and was surprised to see it in the case and I had to have it. A corn + cheddar bialy. It did NOT disappoint. I also got london fog with oat milk previously, also very nice, but this place was soooo good we had to come back. My daughter loves pop tarts so when she saw it in the case, she got a blueberry pop tart and said it was very flakey and the jam was very jamful. It was the-last-one, even had the sign stuck in it!! She also got the french toast (2 slices) with kid's milk and said it was the best french toast she's ever had. My sis got a chocolate pain suisse, which I had never seen before. It's basically brioche filled with pastry cream and chocolate. It looked delicious and with coffee, my sis ate the whole thing up. All in all, this place has so much delicious eats.. I can understand if you live here, you could come every morning and still not get to everything in the pastry case! Definitely be back if we're in the Boston area again.

So we walk into Modern Pastry Shop and I'm tellin' you, the display cases alone deserve their own movie. Pistachio mousse, limoncello cake, rum baba, mocha mousse, carrot cake with little frosting carrots, crème brûlée with fresh berries, strawberry cheesecake. Row after row, lit up like a jewelry store. I didn't know where to look first. Now, my wife, she's the boss. Whatever she wants, she gets, capisce? So I got her the Boston cream cupcake, 'cause when you're in Boston, you pay your respects. Golden cake, creamy filling, thick chocolate glaze on top. That's the hometown classic done right. Then I grabbed a full pound of rainbow cookies, those layered almond beauties with the chocolate on top. A whole pound, 'cause a few just ain't enough. Word to the wise: it's cash only. Don't walk in here empty-handed and embarrass yourself. Bring the cash, pay your respects, and walk out happy. Bottom line, if you're in the North End and you skip Modern Pastry, that's a mistake you're gonna regret. Keep the wife happy, keep the family happy. -- Captain 619
