    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.

Cold, delicious, and just the right amount of chaotic fun... it was wicked good.

While I do usually prefer my ice cream order to my boyfriends....i do have to admit that I liked his more. Don't skip the waffle cone like I did. Definitely a great stop to add to your day in boston! The flavors are always great, and there's seasonal flavors which rotate that are always fun to try.

    This spot was adorable - both for books and food…read more We lucked out as we didn't have a reservation, but called and turns out they had an outdoor table available. We weren't sure how to enter, so we started in the bookstore and found their convenient elevator downstairs! The restaurant is tiny but cozy, which is the perfect atmosphere for a book store! We sat outside in the little courtyard and it's a mix of magical and relaxing! There were only a few tables, so it wasn't overcrowded and with nice weather, it was perfect. I had a salad with salmon on the side which was delicious - and the ginger lemonade - wonderful! From buttered noodles to seafood, everything was executed well. The staff didn't rush us even though they were busy - and they had to give really long wait times to a number of others, but we still weren't rushed. I would highly recommend reservations, but even without we were treated very well. Pricing was in line with city pricing - and the food was extremely high quality and produce was lovely - not a shriveled lettuce leaf in sight. We then went upstairs to the bookstore and perused - each floor has something fun to see (including a tiny kids door - or is it a mouse door for the mouse who stars in the book about the store?!). 100% worth a visit - definitely stop in!

    Heartbreaking. The bookstore is exceptional. But the cafe is absurdly expensive and the male waiter…read morewalks the fine line on rude. The wonderful waitress, Sabrina, saved this from being a one star review. First the food. You pay $15 on the kids menu for literally a scrambled egg on an unbuttered piece of toast. Nothing else on the plate. The $24 breakfast is two scrambled eggs on white toast with a few cherry tomorrows on top and a side of small meatball-looking turkey sausages. I was shocked, but since I was with my child, I didn't want to say a thing. There is absolutely NOTHING on this menu worth the cost or experience. Also, they do not pour the tea and if you ask for milk (typically served with dark teas) the waiter gives you impatient side-eye. The cafe has everything, EVERYTHING which could really make it a spectacular experience, and I can say that I will never go again or recommend. Get a muffin and coffee/tea at Tatte or Flour Bakery and skip this cafe and go straight to the book store. The bookstore is a joy.
