    Key lime pie bar
    Jason P.

    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

    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 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!

    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
    Miranda G.

    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.

    Boston crème and oatmeal cream pie donuts
    Matsurika P.

    Located inside TimeOut, the service is fast and there are lots of seating everywhere since it is an upscale food court. This donut place has tons of interesting flavors that you don't see usually. The donuts are nice, soft, and filled but there are slight inconsistencies. I went with a few friends a couple of times and sometimes the filling inside donuts are different than what was listed on the description. I bit into the boston crème expecting everything but a coffee/espresso flavored crème.

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

    "Bill, ya gotta go to Bova's for their Florentine cannoli!"…read moreAndie E, what a great tip! I have been to Florence Italy but never heard of a Florentine cannoli before. What a fantastic treat! I've been to Bova's bakery but wasn't on my radar during this Boston trip. When the Florentine cannoli was mentioned, I changed all my plans to try this cannoli. As luck would have it there was a parking spot almost across the street. I walked inside with one person in front of me. The display case has the all the freshly made cannoli front and center. How do you choose only one? I asked the counter person for a Florentine cannoli and a piece of apple strudel to go. I was out the door in five minutes, hooray! Once I got back to my hotel, I had to take a picture of this incredible pastry. First bite and I get the taste of lace cookie compared to what we're all used to, a crunchy shell. The lace cookie shell is incredible, it's firing off all senses. The cannoli cream is fantastic! Overall, this is a 10 out of 10 pastry. Forget those two large pastry shops with long lines, Bova's Bakery is a must stop when visiting Boston. If it's your first time trying a Florentine cannoli, Bova's Bakery makes the best on the north end. You're welcome.

    I'm sure this place doesn't need any more publicity, as the line is always around the block! If you…read morehappen to be in the neighborhood on one of the less busy days, it's definitely worth a stop. We tried the rum cake, which was a bit too sweet for me personally but still tasty, and the steak and cheese rice ball. The rice ball was amazing!!! Filled with so much shaved steak, lots of cheese, and it came with really tasty marinara. Took a few minutes to warm up, but definitely worth the wait. I wish I could go back for another right now as I reflect --truly delightful.

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.
