Best of Boston

Any way you slice ’em (and slice you should — they’re so rich that sharing is almost necessary), Union Square’s doughnuts are always at the front of the pack. Whether topped with bacon, coated in a lemony glaze, or stuffed with chocolate-chip cookie dough, these treats are stars in both taste and presentation. Even better: You can find them all over the city, from the flagship shop in Somerville to Coolidge Corner, whenever you need a sugar fix.
