One visit to Blackbird Doughnuts, and you may forswear Dunkin’ Donuts forever. The unique flavors—cranberry lime, mint chocolate—are sublime. Stop back again and the flavors may be completely different. This artisanal doughnut shop—the only one in Boston with doughnuts baked on site—has become known for its creative, ever-changing take on the classic breakfast treat, serving both airy raised doughnuts made from brioche dough and cake doughnuts, as well as monkey bread, and, of course, coffee. The shop uses natural and local ingredients whenever possible. Note: the tiny shop has no seating (a shame, since the open kitchen has plenty of action), but there are a couple of benches out front.

Union Square Doughnuts is Boston's original high-falutin doughnut place, but I've never really been that impressed. Blackbird's a newer challenger and their chocolate cake doughnuts are literally to die for. Their others are trying a little too hard I think, but I forgive all for those chocolate ones.
