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.

Stephanie Cmar of Top Chef and No. 9 Park recently launched a new Pop-up shop for weekend donuts at…read moreThe Butcher Shop in the south end. It's open from 9-11am or until they sell out. 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.

It's one of my favorites and is absolutely huge! The ricotta filling is absolutely delicious! I will say the shell tasted super sweet, like pure sugar. This cannoli was literally the size of my hand and is definitely big enough to share! This location is cash only!! I saw so many people outside disappointed that they had to find an atm. Also, mikes is definitely the most assessable, they have multiple locations around the city and even a spot in the airport!

In a quick…read moresmart second I realized I could just do a DoorDash pick up order but then saw that I would be spending TWENTY dollars for two cannolis. Never experienced anything like that before..and considering I had to still wait for it, my patience was non existent when I finally ate them. So if you want to try for yourself don't be like me and bring at least 20$ cash

Late-night visit. Surrounded by college students, a bustling crowd, and a fast-moving line. As a…read morevisitor from out of town, I was a bit overwhelmed and intimidated at first. Then I got to the display case. The pastry jewels behind that classic bakery glass made everything else disappear. There were so many desserts, too many to name, and they all looked absolutely scrumptious. Every time I thought I'd made up my mind, I'd spot another treat that looked just as tempting. For stomach-room's sake, I limited myself to two options, but honestly, I could've happily sampled a dozen. Everything I tried was delicious, and the hardest part of the experience was deciding what not to order. Bova's is exactly the kind of bakery you hope to stumble upon while traveling. I'll gladly return to try more on my next adventure to BOS.

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.

We were on vacation so we said why not, lets try it. Best decision made. The slush is SO REFRESHING. It is not too sweet at all. It doesn't have the strong vinegar taste either.

I forget what the price was but it wasn't over priced at all.

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.
