Blackbird Doughnuts - Newton Centre

I am a Blackbird fan. New to this location. Quaint little store in a quaint little city center. The service is efficient. I was in and out. What did I walk away with?

Everything donut- FLAVOR ERUPTION immediately! Was it garlic? Is it the onion? I don't know but the concept is super smart. A donut cut int he middle. The middle is then slathered ina cream cheese frosting that is not sweet like frosting but not too heavy like regular cream cheese. Just the right balance. Then the donut is put back together again and the 'everything'; aspect is added to the top of the donut. It gives an everything bagel lover who doesn't want the heaviness a perfect solution!
Maple brain- decent size, great for snacking on for a period of time. A lite maple which I find refreshing. Fully glazed which is great! Soft interior.

Friendly service, but the donuts are just ok. The flavors are inventive but aren't always well executed, and at the price premium I don't think it's worth it. The highlight is the salted toffee, while the brown butter sage was admittedly pretty disgusting.

One warning - they told me that management does not give them credit card tips.

Cash tips go to workers, but management keeps the credit card tips which is disappointing and scammy given how good the service the was. Do better to your employees, Blackbird.

Blackbird Doughnuts has alighted in Newton Center, and I took home a bananas foster $3.50 ($3.75 after tax). It was a soft and fluffy donut with a sweet frosting and garnished with a banana chip.

Service was pleasant, but you have to ask for a receipt if you want one.

As I was leaving, I noticed a board stating that ice cream doughnut sandwich is $6.

Definitely try these donuts! They have special donuts as well as some classics. The everything bagel donut w/ cream cheese in the middle was so unexpectedly delicious. The topping had great crunch and texture and the light texture and sweet taste of the brioche donut was delicious!
The lemon coconut don't was a perfect blend of flavors. I kept missing the cinnamon roll but had another option w cinnamon cream in it and a great frosting on top and it was just good by suggestion of the employee.

Saw the review from Caliope below and man. What a salty, salty gremlin. Not very nice.

We had a different experience at Blackbird - the people at the store were friendly and welcoming, and the donuts were tasty.

I'm old school so my favorite was the vanilla glazed. Which was very good!

We tried some of the other donuts too - not a huge fan of cake donuts but their version was also quite tasty. Not much else to add!

Excited I got the chance to stop in. Tried the everything bagel donut, which I was skeptical of - but it was pretty great! The "cream cheese" was a very subtle tasting cream cheese frosting, and the donut was sliced like a bagel with the frosting in the middle. It was a little sweet and savory, and surprisingly delicious. Cannot wait to go back and try something else!

We had hear good things about this place and tried it. Impulsively bought a dozen donuts, various kinds, but we were really disappointed. I won't lie they all were eaten eventually lol but we had no desire to go back again.

Very dense, heavy doughnuts, with some cool flavor combinations. I'm usually not a doughnut person but I guess being in the land of Dunkin Donuts has clicked something into place for me, because ever since we moved here, I've woken up every morning with a serious craving for them.

Tucked into a side street in Newton Centre and directly facing a T stop, this particular location of Blackbird is a great pit stop between the gym and my apartment. The guy working the cashier was super nice as I was dithering about the display case, trying to figure out what to order.

I had my heart set on the chocolate old-fashioned as well as the peach jam bismarck (which had sold out already when I got there by 10:30), so I ended up going with the apple fritter and the Boston creme. Of the three, I liked the old-fashioned the best, though be warned, it's really heavy. (Should have ordered some coffee to go with it.) The apple fritter one, I found disappointing - it reminded me of slightly stale funnel cake and had an oily aftertaste.

Next time, I want to try the vanilla glaze and the everything bagel (sounds ... interesting, to say the least). Can't wait to try some of their seasonal flavors as well.

I love donuts and blackbird always hits the spot. All the classics are good, and I love seeing what their monthly flavors are. Also love that they always have a few vegan options. Yum!

I love Blackbird Doughnuts and have had them multiple times, but this was my first time at this location. The server was very friendly and sweet. The location was very clean and easy to find (right across the street from Newton Centre T Stop!)
Their Vanilla Old-Fashioned Donuts (aka The Blackbird) and Chocolate Old-Fashioned Donuts are perfection. I got a half dozen donuts (primarily for myself - birthday week, don't judge) and I got 2 Chocolate Old-Fashioned, 1 Blackbird, 1 Gingerbread, 1 Boston Cream, and 1 Vanilla Glaze along with a Large Hot Chocolate. This was my first time trying the Boston Cream and Gingerbread, along with the Hot Cocoa as well.
Boston Cream and Gingerbread were good, but don't beat the old-fashioned donuts I enjoy. The hot cocoa was the biggest and saddest disappointment because it was awful. Like so bad that I had a few sips in hopes in would get better and ended up tossing it.
Moving forward, I think I'll just stick with their Vanilla and Chocolate Old-Fashioned donuts and be content. Still recommend though!
