    Strawberry Sprinkle (v), Vanilla Sugar (v), Kiddie Cone, Smores
    Connie L.

    Was looking forward to trying Blackbird Doughnuts because their doughnuts are so pretty, but they were actually hit or miss. Their fluffier donuts such as the vanilla sugar & kiddie cone were far better than the others. These were airy and fresh. Their smores doughnut had a lot going on but surprisingly didn't taste like much. The Strawberry Sprinkle had some jelly under the glaze that made the entire donut too mushy. In terms of service, there was only one lady running the register and she was very nice. She made our drinks too and I enjoyed the Iced Lavender Matcha a lot. Overall, cool place to try interesting flavors but some definitely could be done better.

    Just enough space to throw up a shingle and open the door. They offer two items; coffee and donuts. All the coffee is made by a barista so there is no such thing as just a cup of coffee. I was looking for a cup of ice coffee of which I was offered two choices; an Americano which is espresso. A little too strong for my taste and then there was a cold brew. I opted for a cold brew. The donuts were gourmet if it is possible to make one. They each looked like a million calories so I just had one. I ended up going with a glazed crawler. It just means I will have to spend some additional time at the gym. Blackbird is in arsenal yards which is relatively new so the store looked brand new. The interior was black that fit the name. The coffee was 5.00 which's raised my eyebrows I can remember the day when 1.00 was considered pricey. I would return.

    Yum! Yum! Donuts! It's always a treat getting donuts from here! My bf and I have been waiting for this location to open and it finally did! We love coming here on weekend mornings and treating ourselves with yummy donuts and coffee. I really like this location because there is plenty of seating so we don't have to grab our donuts and run! It seems like every time we come they have new flavors and creations to choose from. They have their staple donuts but now every month they have new exciting flavors. This time I tried their honey glaze braid which was very good and their jelly filled mixed berry jam! Yum! Yum! The berry jam was very tasty and not super sweet. We also ordered some coffee and I really like that they can make anything on their menu decaf for my bf. We always have to get a couple of donuts every time we come and we never share! Haha!

    Blackbird is my go to "fancy donut" spot. The everything bagel donuts are so unique and delicious. I got a back of mini donuts for a holiday party and they were such a great little treat!

    If you're looking for fresh donuts and have a bit of a sweet tooth, Blackbird's your place. I had never tried them before, so when I saw they opened up in Arsenal Yards I couldn't resist. They offer monthly flavors as well as classic options. I decided to try the Triple Chocolate cake donut and wow...so delicious from the first bite to the last. I also got the Toasted Marshmallow Latte and that was yummy as well. The interior is really classy and they have some tables inside for you to enjoy your treats. They also have merch for sale from cool beanies to this donut journal that I'm tempted to buy next time I'm here. Everyone working there was very friendly and welcoming. Plenty of free parking at this location as well so that's a huge bonus. Will be back to support this Boston based business!

    This is my first time at this Blackbird location and I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the space is. The location in my neighborhood doesn't have any seating, so I found the seating here to be a nice way to enjoy my doughnut fresh. I also ordered one of the seasonally matcha lattes, which had a good amount of sweetness while still maintaining the matcha flavor.

    Everything bagel donut... so weird. Wouldn't eat it again but glad we tried it I guess. Savory, not sweet but has the texture of a donut.

    Some of the items are amazing and some fell short. For instance the ham and cheese pastry was not great.. but the tomato pastry was delicious! The iced lattes were very flavorful and strong.

    Really delicious coffee but all the donuts were dry, even on a Sunday morning. Would return for a latte but nothing else!

    Overpriced doughnuts. I don't see the hype, but happy that it's in Watertown for the sheer reason that there's something besides Dunkin's...

    I ran into someone from my church right outside Linda's and he asked me where the best donuts were…read morein the Boston area. I told him, "We're standing right outside it, it's Linda's." He thought I was joking. I was definitely not. I LOVE Linda's. The donuts are fresh and divine, but the people are the reason I keep going back. So imma tell you a story about why I will defend their honor til the day I die. One time I ordered a donut and a coffee and sat down to eat. A few minutes later, one of the employees walked over holding another donut. I said, "Oh, thank you, but I'm good." He just smiled and said, "It's fresh, it just came out." I took it. It was out of this world amazing. I've made donuts at home before, and fresh donuts really _are_ different. Warm, soft, and just about the best donut I've ever had. Here's another story: some other time, I wasn't thinking. I bought a dozen donuts for my coworkers and was gonna bring it to work, but I was on my bike that day and realized there was absolutely no way the box was fitting into my panniers. I went back in and asked if they happened to have a bag big enough to hold the box. They disappeared into the back and came out with their reusable Linda's Donuts bags. I suspected there weren't so many of them. I asked if I could pay for it. They wouldn't let me. I still have that bag and use it all the time, and every time someone asks me about the bag, I tell them this story. That, my friends, is how I became a Linda's Donuts evangelist. Re: ambiance, it's super low key. There are only four or five tables, and I've definitely sat there with friends over coffee and donuts. It's not trying to be trendy. It's just a neighborhood donut shop, and that's exactly why I like it. I've seen people complain that Linda's runs out of donuts. FOLKS, they're a neighborhood mom-and-pop shop. They make a finite number of fresh donuts every day. Personally, I'd rather they sell out than have donuts sitting around all afternoon. If you want the best selection, get there earlier. Maybe Kane's or Union Square Donuts are objectively better and have more variety, and fancier flavors like maple-glazed bacon doughnuts. I admit, those donuts are damn good too, but when I think of getting donuts, I always make the trip to Linda's for all the warm-fuzzies and to see all the smiling, kind people behind the counter.

    I give five stars to service the staff. There's always been super friendly. They've even offered…read morefree pastries a time the negative star for me is mostly based on that. They constantly run out of donuts at all times of the day. You never know when they're gonna be open and on top of that, they say one price and do another there's times where a donuts two dollars or 250 or three dollars every time I've been rung up it's been a different price.

    Not sure what all the hype is about for this place! We ordered Thai fried rice, green curry and…read morefish cakes. Fish cakes were small and perfectly uniform - almost like they were frozen rather than prepared on site. Green curry had some spice but was mostly one note, there just wasn't much depth of flavor. Vegetables were all cut in huge hunks - both dishes had giant pieces of red bell peppers and onions. Fried rice was pretty bland and barely had any Chinese broccoli in it. Ambiance was bare bones - you order at the counter and they bring you your food and plastic side plates. Half the tables were stacked with boxes and bags of takeout orders. To top it off there's no bathroom, we were told to use the bathroom at another local business. If I'm gonna spend $60 somewhere, I expect to be able to wash my hands before eating and use the restroom. Perhaps there are some specialty dishes that we didn't try but this was my 2nd time ordering from here (I got take out once before) and both times the food was pretty bland. A truly underwhelming experience - especially when there are so many better restaurants in the area.
