My new favorite donut place in Boston. All their donuts look delicious.

Review №2

In Boston on vacation for the week. Wanted to try Union Square since I had a fix for some nutricious food. We ordered 6 doughnuts- Jelly, Cinnamon Bun, Boston Cream, Coconut among others. My wife and I tried the Jelly, Cinnamon and Boston Cream since we wanted to enjoy the nutricious aspect while getting the sugar kick.I can say all were fantastic. The jelly was NY style with cane sugar sprinkled on top generously injected with a raspberry puree. Jelly was in every bite. The Cinnamon was tasty without being overly sweet. Perfect for pre diabetics.The Boston Creme was tasty and not to overly sweet. I appreciate the fact the dark chocolate icing reminded me of the icing on the giant Costco chocolate cakes which are no more. Probably because because no one could ever finish these huge cakes.I would suggest injecting these beauties in the microwave for 5 seconds in order to allow the dough regain its fresh baked taste for an enhanced experience.

The only place outside of Somerville you can get Boston’s best donut, just walking by this spot in the morning it’s nearly impossible not to step in line and grab one to go. I choose these donuts over birthday cake every year, because they are way better than birthday cake. You will not be disappointed!

I ordered a Boston cream and a raspberry filled donut and I have to say they were not fresh at all. I was thoroughly disappointed and actually threw out half of both donuts. Was a complete waste of $9 for 2 donuts.

I’ve traveled far across the country in search of a better donut than the ones you get at Union Square and I haven’t found one that beats it yet. Best Boston Cream in the city definitely, on the planet possibly.

Looking for some unique donuts? Look no further. Head over to Boston Public Marlet and stop by Union Square Donuts. The Maple Bacon Donut had a thick slice of bacon that tops the glaze on this light and fluffy donut. The Vietnamese Coffee donut has a light glaze on it, with the Vietnamese Coffee being not overwhelming in contrast to the donut itself. The Butter Pecan donut uses fresh nuts which gives a good crunch to the fluffy donut. The Chai Apple Cider Donut had a cinnamon dusting on the chai glaze; this donut is a vegan donut and seasonal so give it a try while you can.

Unbelievable donuts. the vanilla bean (the white one) was the best donut that i have ever had. we went on a hunt for donuts (tried blackbird and kanes but both were closed) and ended up at union square and i’m glad we did as i can’t imagine any donuts being better than these ones

These donuts were delicious. I tried the hazelnut crunch after a recommendation from the woman in front of me in line and it ended up being my favourite of the four!

We got two boxes of these donuts for work, and they were great! I tried the chocolate and brown butter hazelnut crunch, and both were delicious! The donuts are almost like bread in thickness and consistency, rather than a light and fluffy donut. I liked that they werent too sweet. Flavor-wise, they were good too. The chocolate was very thick and very chocolatey, and I liked the crunch on the other one. Would recommend!

I love the texture of this donut place! It’s very fluffy and the daily flavors offer a great selection. The Vietnamese coffee glazed donut is a creative must-try. The sweetness is just right so it’s easy to devour the whole thing.

Great donuts no doubt about that. Poor morning service. Site says opens at 0700 but once there a sign states it’s 0800 and woman working had a really poor attitude about it

I have never been a fan of donuts because I find them too sweet and greasy. But I LOVE these ones...not too heavy. Just perfect! Try the Vietnamese donut and salted caramel.

Wow!! amazing pizza. Pizzas of the day is all they have so dont go here if your looking to get just a plain cheese pizza. But if you are into trying new things GO HERE. Didnt try anything in the bakery unfortunately but it all looked delicious. Had great service and the outside little patio is very nice in the summer. Will definitely be returning here soon.

The French vanilla and eggnog doughnuts are the two best ones I’ve tried so far!

Solid donut, well beyond the standard chain donut quality.I tried the apple crumble donut -- glazed with a light apple glaze and crumble piled on top. Admittedly, most of the crumble fell off as I was eating it, but it was still really tasty. Extremely messy... but tasty.The dough is chewy, in a good way. Its not a dry hunk of bread like a lot of other donut shops... Its soft, chewy, and sweet.Dont forget to get a drink, too. George Howell coffee is literally right behind it. I am yelling you from personal unfortunate experience: make sure you get a drink.

Favorite Donut place in the city. Found my self visiting the BPM location every other day and dont have any regrets. Belgian Dark is a must have and their classic honey glazed will keep you coming back. Keep it up Union Square your work is amazing!

We were let down by these donuts unfortunately, the toppings and fillings seemed to have good flavors but they were overwhelmed by the flavorless and dense donut itself. We tried the Boston cream and the hazelnut donuts and both were disappointing, especially for the price (about $8 for two donuts).

One of the best donuts I’ve had in a loooooong time. Love the consistency of the bread, and great balance between flavor and sweetness. I tried the toasted coconut, absolutely delicious.

Best donuts! We had the hazelnut crunch, vietnamese coffee and salted caramel. Other than the salted caramel being a bit too ordinary the other 2 tasted great. If I got on the subway at Haymarket every morning Id probably be here buying breakfast. These donuts have been missed dearly after leaving Boston.

YUM! Whats not to love about a doughnut, right? I tried the jumbleberry and it was delicious. Go early as they do sell out of popular flavors.

Cliff notes version: ok donuts, odd textureWe got the honey glazed, salted bourbon caramel, and Boston cream donuts - all yeasted donuts. They were good donuts and the flavors were great (special call out for the dark chocolate glaze atop the Boston cream donuts), but they threw us off-guard because they arent your normal super light yeasted donuts. They were fluffy, but had more of a Pillsbury biscuit dough texture. Not exactly what we were in the mood for.

The worst doughnut Ive had in my life. I ordered the salted caramel bourbon doughnut, and it tasted like someone had urinated on an old, soggy piece of dough.

This is a pretty good doughnut place in Boston. When I went, I had the raspberry lime rickey, vanilla bean and honey glaze which were all good. The raspberry lime however was my favorite. The doughnut is chewy but also fluffy. Yes, some may say other doughnut places are better especially if you like krispy kreme but I liked it alot. You can also taste the flavor as well which was nice. This place is much better than other doughnut places that Ive been to.
