"This is no Dunkin Donuts. The team behind our favorite South End haunt The Gallows presents this tiny takeaway doughnut shop just a stone's throw from home. Blackbird makes both sweet and savory raised doughnuts in the old school fashion but with modern flavors like sesame Sriracha, salted toffee, blackberry lavender and pepperoni pizza! The space has a nouveau industrial feel with a wall of steel pained windows allowing customers to peek into the baking process and watch the fresh doughnuts make their way into the front of the house. But be warned, they are habit forming, especially the little stacks of three!" - Adam&Co.

"Blackbird is pretty much the Willy Wonka of the donut world, with unique offerings like everything bagel and pumpkin cheesecake donuts, as well as apple cider donut pie (literally cider donuts that are baked on top of a graham cracker crust). Not everything’s a hit, but since no golden tickets are required for entry, we’re open to keep taste testing the creations from this factory." - Joel Ang
"A popular donut shop praised for reliably satisfying apple-cider-donut cravings, recommended as a go-to stop for seasonal fall treats." - Nathan Tavares
"This South End-born doughnut chain turns out some of the city’s very best doughnuts, including several takes on cider doughnuts like a spiced cake doughnut with cinnamon sugar and a vegan brioche doughnut with cider glaze and fall sprinkles." - Terrence Doyle
"I learned that the local doughnut chain signed on in place of the previously announced vendor and is expected to debut by April 1 (it won’t be open with the initial March 2 opening) and will be serving doughnuts when it arrives." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
