I have taken several friends there to try their delicious vegan donuts, but they keep running out. Today was the third time that I made the trip there, only to find that they had sold out of vegan donuts. I love this place and look forward to updating my review to 5 stars when they are more consistently stocked.

Tried it out! Got the Boston cream and the brown butter cruller. Cruller was a religious experience, truly an awakening and a delight to eat. Boston cream was tasty, especially the frosting, but it was a little too Boston and not enough cream for my personal tastes. Overall: scrumptious ✨

I tried a vegan vanilla sprinkle back to school donut. The taste is amazing! I’ll definitely be back for more!

Sweet corn and blueberry donut was good.

Raspberry jam donut was good.

Donut holes were okay.

Honey glazed was okay.

Mango lassi, the donut itself was okay but wasnt crazy about the mango lassi part.

I like that this place has some interesting donut flavors that you dont see elsewhere.

Nah the donuts aren't good. I've had good brioche donuts before and these aren't it. Tried them like 3 times cuz they look so pretty but that's how they get you to buy them. The people here are chill tho - donuts just suck (burger joint here is 5 stars too)

I've been a few times, but the most recent time we ordered these (just last week) they had no flavor and the consistency of cardboard. The strawberry coconut one was plain, and the other donuts we received had such a small coating of frosting that they were also lackluster. We went to Kane's instead and had cheaper, larger, and tastier donuts.

Last week was my first time actually inside the place. You could smell those fresh donuts. Even before you walk in, it was a very small store. You know, 5 people and you feel very crowded. But it's well worth it friendly staff. D*** good Cinnabon, amongst the other donuts. But I love the Simmon rolls.

You probably didn't need me to tell you that union square donuts rocks, they're a greater Boston institution for a reason. BUT! I'm here to tell you not to sleep on their cake donuts!!! Cake donuts often get a bad rap but union square's cake donuts are unlike any I've had before. Their texture is sublime, with a lightly crisp exterior surrounding a fluffy interior that isn't the slightest bit stodgy. Truly they make all other cake donuts look like jokes by comparison! Please continue making them just like this forever please!!!

We stumbled across this place on Wednesday 4/16/25 and were in awe as soon as we stepped in. They had about a dozen different types of unique donuts that all looked amazing. Behind the counter was a lovely young person who went above and beyond to help us decide. We were only in town for the day and they were so gracious in helping us. The donuts were beyond incredible but they paled in comparison to the service we received!

Wouldn’t recommend. The Brown Sugar Cruller was okay, but the rest we bought were either too sweet, oil soaked or a combo of both. I think this is the first time I’ve had an oily donut. I also wasn’t a huge fan of the texture. They’re thick and very dense… more like fried dough than airy like a donut.
