    ICED SALTED TOFFEE LATTE
    Casey A.

    I'm really here to review the chicken Caesar wrap from Sally's sandwiches, that operates as a part of Blackbird Donuts. The donuts are just okay for me, not my go-to in Boston: 3/5. However, I'd say the chicken wraps are maybe like a 4.5/5. The wrap was so good! The chicken was crispy, the croutons were great, it was well-dressed. Honestly, one of my favorite Caesar wraps in Boston. I also got their buffalo sauce on the side and it was *chefs kiss*. I tried the iced salted toffee latte as well, and it was really good for like the first 1/4 of the drink. However, it got to be too sweet for me, but that's a personal preference. I would definitely come back for the wrap!

    I was in search of a Boston Cream Pie donut and after some research online was told that Blackbird donuts was a place to try. It definitely did not disappoint and lived up to it's hype. The space itself was an interesting little shop. In addition to donuts, pastries, coffee and the usual assortment of food items that you would find at a donut shop, they also had rotisserie chicken. I didn't try the chicken but was curious to try it next time around. The service was fairly quick and efficient. As for the Boston Cream Donut I got it. It was very tasty. The chocolate was better quality than the chocolate on other donut places. I would recommend giving Blackbird Doughnuts a try if you're in the area.

    Donuts are delicious and flavorful. Breakfast sandwich was much worse than I thought it would be: I like that they added aioli, but not at the expense of the bread. Sort of soggy. Egg got lost in the mix, the giant potato tater tot thing (delicious) was the only thing with any crunch. Good enough to eat but I will not be ordering this again. I will 100% be back for the donuts-- I'm still hopeful enough about this place being good I'll likely order a different sandwich in the future.

    CLASSIC CHICKEN CAESAR WRAP
    Harrison I.

    Blackbird, while small, was surprisingly cute. I stopped in quickly in need of a quick bite for lunch and grabbed their chicken Caesar wrap, which was quite a good size. The wrap was delicious- there was crunchy and crispy chicken, lettuce, cheese, and Caesar dressing, all warmed up to make one of the better chicken Caesar wraps I had in Boston! While relatively simple, I found the meal to be exactly what I needed. I hope to stop in soon to try some of their drinks.

    Loved the Honey & Blackberry donut - the brioche donut was chewy and so soft, and the honey butter glaze was divine! Also got the Blackbird donut, which was cakier with a subtle sweetness. The texture reminded me greatly of an Apple cider donut, but needed to be paired with a coffee. They also have sandwiches/wraps available through Sally's Sandwiches and the Falafel Wrap was truly a surprising favorite of ours - large portion but the falafel was soft (as opposed to more cornmeal in texture) and the feta and spicy sauce were top notch! The wrap itself was very delicious too with a nice chew and really complimented the ingredients of the wrap. Lots of people came by to grab donuts or munchkins to go and even coffees/teas - would highly recommend for a sweet or savory treat!

    After a solid morning run, I decided to try Blackbird. The Boston cream donut was excellent but what was truly remarkable was their everything bagel/donut hybrid creation. It was excellent and I highly recommend you give it a try! Really unique and I don't think I've come across another bakery or donut shop that produces something similar to this.

    I've been wanting to come here for years and I finally did last week. Sadly, I was greatly disappointed. I came here and wasn't sure what to order and the cashier gave generic recommendations. I ended up ordering the Ice Cream Cake Bismarck. The donut tasted old and dry and barely had any chocolate mousse inside. I was very put off by the taste that I couldn't even finish it and threw it in the trash. The donut looked aesthetically good, but the quality wasn't there. It was $4 and definitely wasn't worth it. Of note, this store is small and is mostly meant for takeout. There are no seats, but there is a small bar area to stand by the door. They also have breakfast items and coffee.

    Raspberry with marshmallow filling
    Kim S.

    So so delicious. This is a super small shop with a variety of donuts and coffee. We chose the raspberry marshmallow one. My husband thought it was too sweet, but that didn't keep him from eating his half! I loved the tart raspberry taste paired with the sweet marshmallow. I'd be happy to eat one of these every day of my life. The service was quick with smiles.

    Lemonade & Lavender Matcha Latte
    Lizzie Y.

    I went to an aerial yoga class next door and came back to the car to a blueberry lemonade and lavender matcha latte. The lemonade was extremely tart and was a bit difficult to drink because it tasted like eating a lemon. The lavender matcha was all right, it was just watered down and lacked matcha flavor.

    Trying to avoid donut chains, I'm always on the lookout for local donut places. Blackbird popped up as he closest to my hotel. Without doing much research into the place, i went straight down there. Well, as soon as I started reading the menu, I was instantly disappointed. These are brioche donuts, which I am not a fan of. But, I was already there and ordered 2. I went with the salted toffee and the dole whip. So, yeah, brioche just doesn't do it for me. I should have went with their basic cake donut, which I think they have 2 or 3, looking after the fact. There is a Sally's Sandwiches at this location. Maybe I should have went with one of those. On a more positive note, it seemed as if a new employee was being trained. I overheard one of the employees helping with that and he was doing a good job explaining things.

    The too heavy dough! Strangest dough ever! Not a fan.

    When we were at Harvard we saw Mike's Pastry and I thought about stopping in to buy cannoli but I…read moredidn't because we were planning to go to Paul Revere's house in North End and this Mike's Pastry location is a couple of blocks away. If I had gone to the Harvard location I would have been in and out in 5-10 minutes. That was not the case at the North End location but in fairness it was Friday night and around the time people want dessert. The North End location had four lines from the counter to the door with the line out the door. They take cash only but while you wait you have plenty of time to decide on what you actually want to get. They have 10+ cannoli flavors plus many other pastries. We opted for a pistachio cannoli and a amaretto cannoli. The cannoli were twice the size of what I was anticipating so we split one on Friday and split the other on Saturday. If I went back I'd get the amaretto again. The pistachio was mostly ricotta tasting. If you go, go early and bring cash!

    I was excited to try Mike's Pastry after hearing so much hype, but unfortunately, I was very…read moredisappointed. Having enjoyed cannoli in Italy and éclairs in various places across Europe, I found these pastries to be overrated and not worth the wait--even if there had been no line and everything was half-price. The chocolate éclair looked unappealing and was quite dry. The filling was excessively sweet and left an artificial aftertaste. The cannoli shells lacked the crispness I expected, and again, the filling was overwhelmingly sweet with what tasted like artificial ingredients. I honestly don't understand the hype. My guess is that much of it comes from social media influencers who may not have experienced similar pastries in Europe. Yet whenever someone visits Boston, they're told they "have to" try Mike's Pastry. For me, it simply didn't live up to its reputation. Disappointing. Oh, it is only cash. Hm...

Their gluten free (gf)/dairy free (df) donuts are also really good and actually preferred by many members of my family, as they are so moist and melt in your mouth. There are many options to choose from, along with monthly specials which are usually fun! Some of my favorites include their Boston cream, gf/df chocolate frosted, and their holiday themed donuts. My husband loves their gf/df glazed donut. Another big hit is their ginormous cinnamon roll! It's so flavorful and feeds many with its size. Their muffins are a huge hit and barely last in our house. Their bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel is also pretty good. My husband is picky about coffee and doesn't mind theirs. Sometimes they have cupcakes available and they are so moist, full of flavor, and one of my absolute favorite things to get. The staff is usually friendly, but there are some staff that aren't as friendly as others. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available, however it is pretty small and when the line is long it comes close to the tables.
