"The time for Valentine’s Day is actually now because it’s coming up really soon," Director of Operations Lynn Sniffen told WBZ NewsRadio at the Assembly Row location Wednesday.
This year, pastry lovers can enjoy items like a vanilla heart-shaped French cruller, a red velvet cake donut, a caramelized white chocolate mousse donut, a Valentine's Day sprinkles donut with a Belgian dark chocolate glaze, and many more.

For people who can't decide on just one donut, there is also the Chocolate Lover's Box filled with six different chocolate items, a Valentine's Day Assorted Box with six holiday items, and a Valentine's Day Baker's Dozen Box with 13 holiday items.
"If you come in the morning of the 14th, you will see boxes stacked up sky high," Sniffen said. "As you can imagine, this is one of our busiest days of the year."
Union Square Donuts is also offering a donut version of the Dubai chocolate bar, a viral chocolate bar filled with kataifi, pistachio, and tahini paste.
"[It's a] fluffy brioche dough that we use on the majority of our donuts, and we fill it with pistachio cream, kataifi pastry, then we dip it in dark Belgian chocolate, splatters of gold and green that are inspired by the actual chocolate bar itself," Sniffen described.
Sniffen said their Dubai bars have been selling out every single day at their locations, and the company expects the same throughout the Valentine's holiday period.
