Union Square Donuts

In my opinion, they look better than they taste. The birthday cake donut tasted like a vegan version, which if you’re into is totally cool. But the chocolate frosting was too bitter and the donut itself tasted like if sourdough bread had a baby with a bagel. The raspberry was redeeming but not enough to actually finish it. The flan was a sticky mess and tasted like sourdough with pudding inside. Maybe I’m just not used to the donuts up here, but for the price I felt whelmed. The hot chocolate tasted homemade, but watered down. All in all not worth the price for anything we tried. The staff was nice though.

Great donuts, and a quick walk to/from Cambridge! Donut flavor options are nicely displayed in the window, and they have a lot of coffees, teas, and other beverages as well. I tried a delicious Vietnamese coffee donut and an iced maple latte—I would get both again! Everything was at a reasonable price.

I was very excited to try Union Square Donuts since I’ve heard so much about them! I went today (11/5/21) to see what all the hype was about. I got 7 donuts. I’m a big fan of trying all kinds of donut shops! I wanted to try some local spots. I tried the glazed since it’s a true telling if a place has a good basic glazed donut and I was unimpressed. Maybe it’s hard to keep up with multiple locations but my donut tasted like a slice of dense white bread with icing. It was almost flavorless with a random hint of lemon. For $3.75+ a donut I was a little bummed that I wasn’t blown away. Maybe I’ll have to give them another shot sometime and hope this was an error from lack of employees or having too many locations. Overall I wasn’t too happy with my order but I’m willing to give it another shot in the future.
