    Yum, great bagel spot! The bagels are large, chewy, and packed with flavor. The chive cream cheese is incredible, definitely a standout. It's also one of the most reasonably priced bagel spots in the area. Would definitely recommend!

    Everything Bagel with Egg + Cheese
    Connie L.

    OMG their bagel sandwiches are so delicious & filling. Each one is made to order and they have a huge variety of add-ins & bagels to choose from. This everything bagel sandwich definitely made my morning with how yummy it was. I mean, a fluffy bagel with delicious egg and an insane cheese pull. What's not to like? I tried their Strawberry Frosted Donut too, but it fell a little short for me. It just tasted a bit dry and flavorless despite having so much topping. The bagels were far better than the donuts imo. In terms of timing, would definitely recommend coming bright & early (8AM) so you can get what you want before they sell out. Even during the early hours, the staff are so friendly & helpful. Overall, they're a fantastic breakfast spot in Davis Square.

    Onion bagel with Pastrami and Swiss

    It's my second time coming here and it's still so good. I love their onion bagel and pastrami. I wanted to try the Garlic bagel but it gets sold out so fast. They have a variety of bagels and one day, I will try them all. The service is fast, but also efficient. Everything was cooked well and tasty. There is a seating area upstairs and the place is always packed.

    Love this place! The bagels are great quality and so fresh! Quick service as it always seems to be busy! I got the egg and cheese on an onion bagel and also tried a chocolate sprinkle doughnut! No pictures of the food, couldn't wait to eat them!

    Spicy Sausage, Egg & Cheese on Asiago
    Lina L.

    Although there is a noticeable line, it moved relatively fast as people constantly came in and out. I decided to order the Spicy Sausage, Egg, & Cheese sandwich on an asiago bagel with cheddar. They made each order fresh and will call your name when it is ready. While there is seating available upstairs, my friends and I decided to eat at a local park. The sandwich was sliced in half and was packed with a good amount of food. The bagel was more on the fluffy side. Surprisingly, there is not much chew to it. The sausage was not that spicy, and the egg was fine. It was quite a filling breakfast for $8 which is not too bad.

    Solid doughnuts and bagels. If you love a classic doughnut, this is the place. They have both cake and yeast options and a few fun flavors like strawberry fruity pebbles and maple glazed with bacon. By the time we got there by noon, a lot of the options were gone though. We also got the salmon lox bagel. Warning - the salted bagel does come loaded with salt. You get a lot of lox and cream cheese as well so it gets real messy but it's a tasty mess.

    Boston Cream, Jelly, Nutella, Oreo Cookie
    Stacey T.

    Best donuts I've had in the Boston area! You can order ahead for takeout, but not on the same day over the weekends. We didn't realize it until pretty late so we paid a premium to order pickup through GrubHub (each donut is $0.75 more). Nothing grinds my gears more than paying these markups and service fees, but it was worth it. We ordered Boston Cream, Jelly, Nutella and Oreo Cookie. The Oreo was good, but didn't fit my fancy. The others were all really good! A nice, soft dough with traditional fillings. I was so pleased that it didn't have that oily-fried-greasy flavor that so many others donut shops have. Also, they didn't try to make donuts "artisan" (looking at you, Blackbird). The donuts are so substantially sized that they could use a bit more filling to improve the ratio, because it's all about the ratios haha If only they delivered (we're out of the delivery zone, even through GH). Looking forward to trying other flavors next time.

    Boston cream donut

    I ordered the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel, and a Boston cream donut. Both were fabulous and both were the size of my freaking face! I'll be dreaming about this donut for years to come. The inside was clean and the employees were kind. I got there shortly after they opened and was able to sit upstairs and enjoy breakfast.

    DSDB cubano bagel
    Nino E.

    I had the DSDB cubano and smoked salmon (lox) bagels. The DSDB cubano is interesting- i recommend it if you're a meat lover. I had the lox bagel with the honey cream cheese. My girlfriend was not a fan, but I really liked the sweetness it brought. I would definitely come back to have the lox bagel with honey cream cheese- and try something else along the way. I was only there for a short period of time- i came in at 10:30am on a Thursday. It looked like seating inside was unavailable (it was blocked off). My order came out at around 7-10mins. The cashier and cook were pretty nice; someone tipped and the cook gave him something for free, although I'm not sure what was inside (he asked if they liked salmon, and gave them a box of something). Overall this is a great local neighborhood bagel joint that im happy is by davis Square.

    Somerville donut
    Alice K.

    Bit of a line at 9am Friday. Only one cashier (rest busy preparing bagel sandwiches), and one guy ahead had a big order, waited 15 minutes... The Somerville cream and strawberry shortcake (seasonal) donuts caught my eye. Shortcake was $4.50, which seemed steep for a donut, so opted for the Somerville cream $2.75. I've heard of Boston creme (pie), never Somerville cream, so was curious. Somerville cream has strawberry cream cheese inside with graham cracker crust topping, yeasty type donut. I split with a friend and the cream just oozed out (kinda like Pepto bismol - not most appealing color). Sweet like all typical donuts.

    Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel
    Sean J.

    Stopped in for some bagel sandwiches. Definitely one of the better bagels I've had in a while. I got a bacon egg and cheese on a cheddar and jalapeño bagel. I added a bunch of veggies because why not? I liked the variety of toppings they had available, definitely different from other bagel spots I've been to. The sandwich overall was very good. I also tried the PB&J doughnut. It was good but I wouldn't say I loved it. They have a bunch of different doughnuts beyond that of the traditional spread, so I look forward to trying a different one when I go back As for the service, it was okay. It did take some time to get our to-go orders and I wouldn't say the staff was super friendly, but it was quite busy so probably best to give them the benefit of the doubt. The prices are on par for the area- fairly expensive but nothing out of the ordinary.

    The bagels here are outstanding. The donuts and whoopie pies are popular (we haven't tried them). They also have cold brew coffee.

    Do they use lard, or any other kind of fat derived from animal parts, to make their donuts?

    Hello, We use soybean oil to fry our donuts.

    Decided I needed to try a Boston cream donut while in Boston, so I looked up the best places to get…read moreone -- and Union Square Donuts kept coming up. We headed over and found a cute little shop with super friendly staff and a few spots to sit inside. All of the donuts looked amazing, and they even had espresso, but already my coffee fill for the day. I ordered the Boston cream donut, and it did not disappoint. The donut itself was light and fluffy, the cream filling was delicious, and the chocolate glaze on top was top notch. I can definitely see why Union Square Donuts is known as the place to get a Boston cream donut!

    Pricy, Hit or Miss:…read more This is a classic donut shop, with a slightly upscale interior compared to the factory produced donut shops that grace many of America's strip malls. I am healthily skeptical of any place trying to make a donut something more than what it should be. I feared this with Union Square, but was invited in by the mystery of well crafted names and compelling flavor profiles. Service was neither good nor bad, I was a little surprised that the person working the cash register was unable to assist the two people in the back and just grab the three donuts I ordered, but perhaps its this kind of front line discipline allows them to survive the rush of early morning donut enthusiasts. The Nuts: I ordered the honey glaze chocolate, honey glaze graham cracker, vegan vanilla with sprinkles. - Honey Glaze Chocolate: "A DoNot": A dense donut, not light and airy, light on the Chocolate flavor and, most damagingly, it was dry. The frosting was there and little else. - Vegan Vanilla with Sprinkles: "A fine donut": The cake was spongy, moist enough, but a little chewy (which I believe is a plague of most vegan baked goods). Frosting was unremarkable, somewhat buoyed by the sprinkles. - The Honey Glaze Graham Cracker: "A happy little accident": I accidentally ordered this donut, but sometimes God steps in. The cake was moist and delicious. The Frosting was perhaps a little heavy on some kind of sugar, powdered? But the frosting proved to be an interesting medley of classic vanilla with just enough engaging graham cracker. I got to slightly taste the magic that likely propelled this small shop to a local chain. But as they have expanded I am sure quality control has become an issue. Pop in if you are feeling adventurous and want to gamble with $5.
