    Shamrock shake doughnut with mint buttercream filling for St. Patrick's Day
    Maria B.

    We tried the shamrock shake doughnut (mint buttercream filling) on St. Patrick's Day, and the cinnamon roll, and both were great. Nice selection of flavors available. Clean facility and quick service.

    Boston Cream Donut

    Kiosk location in Boston Public Market, with donuts that are obviously transported in. I can't say it's a bad donut, but for $5, you don't get a fresh one. Boston Cream: Excellent dark chocolate, but cold. Good filling, extra points for custard, but points lost for being cold. Stale underlying donut. Like biting into a baseball glove. And this at 9am. I miss the days when they were a single store on Somerville Avenue, hustling instead of coasting, and when you had a chance of getting a warm one.

    Great location near City Hall. Delicious donuts and beverage selection. Fresh and unique flavors, such as, Sweet Corn & Blueberry and Salted Brown Butter Cruller. The gentleman that helped us, was friendly and efficient. He even asked if we had a preference on how he packed the donuts, given the unique flavors and frosting. It's counter service - and the menus were easily accessible. The station was small and neatly organized. There wasn't a line when we went, which was nice. We only knew they were here, because we saw a few people walk by with boxes...so we knew we had to try them. I will definitely stop here again the next time we are in town.

    I don't know why I came back to USD after not liking it the first time but I just wanted to prove myself wrong because they look so appealing. But oh my god how disappointing these donuts are. I wouldn't even call them donuts at this point they lack that fluffy and airy aspect of an actual donut. They literally taste like frosted brioche buns. They don't even taste fresh either. The beautifully crafted pastries just lure you in but don't fall for it! And they are crazy expensive! Definitely not worth it. There are so many other places in Boston that topple USD. However customer service was very good. They were patient with me and overall very friendly. Two stars only for them.

    Loved the donuts we bought. We walked past the first day but said we would go back the next. It's hard to find a good donut now days. I got a whisky glazed and my husband got a maple bacon. Weren't too much but weren't underwhelming. The dough was perfect. Fluffy but also just a good donut!

    Donuts!

    We recently tried the donuts at this location again after a long time. As usual they have plenty of options. You order and they bag it up for you right there. We got three flavors - S'mores, Red Currant Crunch, Dubai Chocolate Bar. The favorite of the lot was the Dubai chocolate bar. While it is more expensive than a typical donut, it is so tasty. I love the pistachio filling and the crunch of the vermicelli and I was happy to introduce it to my visitors who were eating this for the first time. The next best was the red currant crunch which had a slight tartness to it. The s'mores wasn't anything to write home about, just very marshmallow-y and sticky.

    Dubai Chocolate and Boston Cream.

    I loved the donuts here. I went to the location by Harvard and liked it so much I went again to the one in the Boston Public Market. I got the Cruller, Dubai Chocolate and of course the Boston Cream. I love Dubai Chocolate so I had to try it and didn't think it would be great but it exceeded my expectations. The pistachio cream actually had the kataifi in it giving it that crispy texture. I was planning on only taking a few bites but finished the whole thing. I got it at the Union Square location. The other 2 donuts were amazing as well. I liked Union better than Kanes.

    Apple Cider Cake Donut
    Winston L.

    Got a recommendation by our trolley driver that their favorite donut in the city was the Apple Cider Cake Donut at Union Square Donuts. After a few minutes of hunting around in the Boston Public Market, we found the booth - wrapped around a support pillar. The donut itself was cake donut that was super crusty on the outside (think extra deep fried). Flavor was good too. It really hit the spot for me. I'm the type that really likes the cragly bits on an apple fritter.

    We got the milk and cookies donut and the boston cream donut. I liked the milk and cookies donut better than the boston cream donut. The donuts didn't taste too fresh but the flavor was alright. I wish they could warm it or something.

    Donut wasn't bad but at this price point I was hoping for something more memorable. Located in the Public Market and neat T stop.

    Apple salted caramel cinnamon roll
    Pete J.

    We walked over to the Boston Public Market to grab breakfast on a recent stay in Boston. While we fully intended to get something different, the he display of donuts here called us in to investigate. We decided to order one to split and then split what we originally came in to order. We ordered an apple salted caramel cinnamon roll and it was good and seemed fresh, but was a lot of sugar. The price point seemed a bit much however.

    Came here on a Tuesday morning around 9:30 am and there were several flavors available to try. I'm usually a plain glazed donut type of gal, but went for the Boston cream pie donut since I just moved here and it seemed appropriate. The icing was great - and I'm not even an icing fan! The chocolate was velvety but not overpowering nor too rich. The donut itself was fluffy with a good amount of filling. Price was standard fancy donut pricing & service was fast & friendly!

    I love Union Square Donut's vegan donuts--always so fluffy and perfect flavouring. I used to go to the Union Sq location all the time when I lived there, so I was really glad to have the Boston Public Market location accessible for my stay near North Station. I got there not long after opening, so there was no line and no issue's with sold-out donuts. They had three vegan varieties that day--cinnamon sugar, apple cider, and pumpkin. All were good, but I was definitely most partial to the pumpkin one. Their space, like many of the vendors there, is pretty small so it might take a second to find it your first time around. On the other hand, if you're feeling extra hungry you won't be at a loss for options!

We tried the house breakfast which was two eggs any style (got them fluffy and scrambled), crispy bacon, cheesy potato fritters with tomato jam (similar to ketchup), and sourdough bread (we asked for butter) it was all very filling and some nice spins on a traditional breakfast. The bakery selection is out of this world - from breakfast pastries to delicately crafted desserts. The cinnamon and pecan rose was just like the center of a cinnamon bun, which was fantastic. It was big enough for two people to indulge without overdoing it. There weren't a lot of outlets, so not ideal for long term laptop use, but the food came quickly, it wasn't too loud even with a ton of people coming in and out. The prices were reasonable, and everything tasted amazing.
