Blackbird Doughnuts - Beacon Hill - West End

This place changed my mind about donuts. I have only ever thought they are okay until I tried Blackbird. I've only been here twice but I loved it. We were surprised to discover later that the first two donuts we got were vegan. I've had great vegan food before but desserts are often lacking. Not so with these donuts. The lemon glazed donut was so tart and perfect. We also loved the chocolate mousse bismark. Of course not every flavor is mind blowing but the overall quality really is phenomenal. I love the variety of flavors and that these pastries are not way too sweet like most typical donuts I have had. It's pricey, so take your time choosing.

As a donut conneiseur who's tried my fair share of pastries, this shop lives up to the hype! At $42/dozen it should! However the price point is actually reflected in the taste and that is something I have found lacking in some hyped up places (Kanes which was so disappointing). I can't even say I had a favorite for what we tried: cannoli, tiramisu, eggnog, jelly filled and Boston cream. If you twisted my arm I may say eggnog! The Boston cream was definitely the best of it's kind I've ever had. If you're looking for the best donut shop in Boston this is it. This particular location is a bit small and offers no indoor seating just fyi.

Very small donut shop with great service. This is a to go shop, basically pickup only. There is no sitting room, I got my stuff for take out and went and sat in a park. Balckbird doughnuts has a really good donut selection, I went with the banana fosters and it was good.

Five stars for this doughnut. I've probably had better doughnuts in general, but this particular Donnie is everything! It's sweet and savory and has all the things I love. Hmm maybe I'm not really into sweets, actually I usually like hot sauce on this one. But honestly, everyone should have a doughnut they love and this one's mine. Generally thier flavors are really good, especially the filled ones. I prefer their yeast doughnuts.

Good donuts but hardly worth the price tag. Got a half dozen donuts including ice cream cake, Boston cream, black bird, and mango swirl. I liked how they didn't put too much sugar for their fillings, but overall the doughnuts weren't phenomenal as some people described. The doughs for the regular donuts (not brioche) were chewy and less greasy which made them taste healthy, but I wasn't a huge fan.
