The top ones are Blackbird, Union Square, and Kanes. My personal favorite is Blackbird but lots of people have strong opinions. Also FWIW, you don’t need to say fresh donuts other than Dunkin — Dunkin donuts are NOT fresh but rather mass produced and shipped to the various stores

Meh, Blackbird is just delicious icing on a mediocre donut. I tried them years ago when they just opened - ended up eating the icing but throwing away the bland tasteless bready base. Gave them another try more recently and hadn’t improved. Union Sq donuts is decent, I’d give it maybe a 7/10. Kane’s is also decent, but too many toppings - I want a donut not a candy bar on top of fried dough.

My platonic ideal of a perfect donut is a freshly made apple cider donut still hot, and rolled in cinnamon sugar. Some of the apple orchards have these, but they can be hit or miss.

Thanks! I’ll have to check out all three, those seem to be the favorites on this sub :)
