Blackbird Doughnuts - Harvard Square
11 Holyoke St, Cambridge, MA
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Harvard Square's food court, this spot excels at quick, satisfying meals with plenty of vegetarian options and a bustling communal vibe both indoors and out. While their pastries and doughnuts show promise in creativity—tiramisu and Boston cream varieties—consistency seems to be their challenge, with occasional execution hiccups that leave some customers wishing for more care in both flavor development and order accuracy. It's best approached as a convenient grab-and-go destination for breakfast sandwiches and sides rather than a destination for refined pastry craftsmanship.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Lots of vegetarian options! We got the falafel 🥙 wrap and fries 🍟! Really fast and really delicious food! And it's conveniently in the food court, where there's lots of seating, both indoors and outdoors! The donuts looked delectable!
I got their Blackbird breakfast sandwich and they forgot my bacon. My main issue is that this subpar sandwich is overpriced at $10. You barely taste the donut since it’s just one donut cut in half(whereas I believe it would be better if they did two donuts instead). Their donuts…
