    Maple Latte donut
    Sharon P.

    I stopped in after a visit to REI and took home a Maple Latte donut. This was a real treat with a cup of coffee, especially after it was heated for 30 seconds in the microwave. The Fenway location is clean with a great range of donuts and a super staff. Highly recommended.

    These days, there are classic donut shops, and what I call cheat code donuts spots. There's nothing wrong with being a cheat code donut shop. You're just paying more for more elaborate donuts. Union Square Donuts is a cheat code donut shop. The donuts look elaborate and great. My key lime pie bar donut was very good. Good outer texture. Good tart and sweet curd. A very tasty donut. But relative to a standard donut shop, you're paying more for it. Four Stars

    Great spot for a bite at Time Out Boston Market Pros: + Large variety of flavors + Donuts were absolutely delicious + Friendly staff + Loved the Vietnamese donuts IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC

    Clockwise starting from the left: Vietnamese iced coffee, maple bacon, hazelnut chocolate crunch donuts

    I came with union square food market and we got this for dessert. Overall, I was impressed by the texture of these donuts: they were light and fluffy rather than dense and chewy. They're also not overly sweet, which is rare but delightful. Of the three we got (Vietnamese iced coffee, maple bacon, hazelnut chocolate crunch) the maple bacon was the best. I was hesitant to order the maple bacon but my companion was insistent. I'm glad I listened (oh the joys of sharing!). The flavors worked nicely - sweet maple with smoky, thick cut bacon. Vietnamese iced coffee was underwhelming- not much flavor because the icing was quite thin. Hazelnut crunch was good! Solid dessert option after getting lunch in the food court!

    When I tell you these were the best donuts I've ever had. I've had a lotttt of donuts and they're better than voodoo. Possibly an unpopular opinion but I stand by it. Get the French Cruller with brown sugar glaze and you won't be disappointed!

    I love coming here for a treat whenever I visit time out. They have a mid-sized selection of donuts and their unique flavors are pretty tasty (like their maple bacon) I don't know if it was because we got our donuts near the end of the day, but I always feel like the donuts are pretty stale. I don't think their quality is amazing but the flavor variety is great. Overall, it's a nice donut shop to stop by if you're close, but not something I would go out of my way to visit.

    Maple bacon donut
    Michelle L.

    These are some of my favorite yeast donuts! We went at the end of the day so they were out of Boston cream :( We settled for the Cranberry spice crisp and the Maple bacon donuts. Both were nice and soft. Quite large- bigger than your average Krispy Kreme donut and a tad denser- in a good way. These both had nice textures with the addition of the crispy bacon and the crumble topping. I would definitely come back! I preferred the cranberry donut but both are worth a try!

    Walking around in the Am hoping to get some coffee and stumble upon this place. A great find indeed! Donuts were great! Not to cake or doughy just the right amount of spongyness you need from a donut! Topping elevated each donut! I can't remember what I got but I wasn't disappointed! Stop by here if you're near Fenway park

    Vietnamese Coffee + Sea Salt Whiskey Caramel Donuts

    Usually not a huge donut fan, but the Vietnamese Coffee Donut was just the right amount of sweetness! I ordered too many, but all the donuts were delicious. The donuts are more bread-like/denser than other donuts I've had.

    Good donuts. Noone was even manning their booth when I came (which I only stopped by the food hall to pick up donuts) so I waited a good 15 minutes or so before someone finally showed up. The donuts were kind of stale. Flavor was okay. My immediate thought upon tasting them were that they were not worth the wait or the cost. They do come up with unique flavors often though, so perhaps some of their other flavors might be more worth it. But I just thought, overall, that they weren't amazing. Good though! And if you're in the area looking for a sweet bite, it'd be a solid option. Maybe not worth going out of your way for though.

    Shark week donut
    Regina L.

    I was surprised they were still open when my friend and I finished dinner around 9:30! I saw they had a special shark week themed donut so I had to get it. It was pretty good, it was a vanilla donut with blue-colored vanilla frosting. The $4 average price tag on these donuts are a bit steep, but I enjoy their creative flavors. I'm glad they have a little stand at the time out market for a quick dessert!

    Upper L & R: Vietnamese coffee, honey glazed. Middle: pomegranate molasses. Bottom L & R: tiramisu, brown butter hazelnut
    Bowie W.

    FOOD/DRINKS (3.5): - Tiramisu Doughnut (4) = The best one that I've gotten out of the 3 flavors. I like how the filling in there is not too sweet and the dusting of cocoa on top gave it the bitterness that lingers the same way in traditional tiramisu. - Vietnamese Coffee Doughnut (3) = I was most excited for this. I am an avid coffee fan and anything that has vietnamese coffee I'm bound to love. But I really couldn't taste the coffee. I think it's mostly because my taste buds might be desaturated from all the coffee I normal drink so I'm not as sensitive to it (hehe). My friend that doesn't drink coffee at all tried a bite and said she could taste a hint of it, but it was mild. Most likely won't get this again. - Brown Butter Hazelnut (3.5) = not as sweet as I'd expected. I had thought there would also be more of a salty-sweet combo (due to the brown butter) but didn't quite get that either. Overall it was a good doughnut but I think the flavor could be a bit stronger. I did love how much hazelnuts were sprinkled on top, but would like it more if the glaze had more hazelnut flavor coming through too. OVERVIEW: - I think I will definitely come back here. As doughnuts go, I love how this place isn't so sickeningly sweet, which shows me they put in more effort in making sure they give other flavors a chance to shine. Perhaps the ones I ordered just happened to miss the mark in punching me with the flavor that I was expecting but the doughnuts themselves are pretty good quality. I did hear the other locations have the doughnuts coming out more fresh than this location in Time Out.

    These donuts are so fluffy. They are a bit pricy. The favors and texture just blend perfectly together.

    Awesome! They always have so many unique, seasonal flavors. They typically have multiple vagen options too! Can't ask for more.

    The dough in these donuts is so fresh and so delicious! We tried the glazed lemon and jelly donuts,…read morethe cotton candy donuts and the key lime pie donuts. 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.
