The opening-day menu at Blackbird Doughnuts’s Fenway location will featurethe Boston cream bismarck that Adele proclaimed her love for last September. “How could it not?” said Anna Perna, Blackbird’s chef-partner.The décor of Blackbird’s 300 square-foot sliver of space on Kilmarnock Street, which will officially open its doors Monday morning at 7 a.m., will remind clientele of the shop’s original South End location, from the white subway tiles to the birdcage chandelier.

Perna said the Fenway locale was an obvious fit for the Blackbird family, which is mostly comprised of born-and-bred Bostonians.

“The Fenway area is such an iconic Boston neighborhood,” Perna said. “We love our city and our home, and so many people that come to Boston love that neighborhood, so it’s a really great match.”

Perna said that customers will find very similar, seasonally rotating doughnut flavors whether they visit the new location or the South End one. However, each storefront will also offer a few exclusives, including a yet-to-be-finalized baseball-themed doughnut in the Fenway.

Besides the Adele-endorsed Boston cream bismarck, Monday’s inventory in the Fenway will include the airy vanilla-glazed and cakey chocolate old-fashioned — two staples — plus the popular salted toffee, the strawberry jam bismarck, and the signature Blackbird, a vanilla bean old-fashioned with a vanilla glaze.

The doughnuts will be made in the South End location’s larger kitchen and delivered to the Fenway location multiple times per day to ensure freshness.

Made-to-order ice cream sandwiches will be available in limited quantities starting Monday, as well. And just in case doughnuts and ice cream sandwiches aren’t enough to satiate your sweet tooth, Blackbird’s doughnut cakes will be available at the Fenway location with two days’ notice, Perna said.

You can chase your doughnut(s) with Blackbird’s custom-blend Fazenda coffee. To fend off the impending summer heat, the Fenway location will sell the coffee cold-brewed on draft, which Perna said she is “beyond excited for.”

Blackbird’s Fenway storefront is the first foray beyond the South End for the Gallows Group, which also owns American-ish gastropub The Gallows and Asian gastropub Banyan Bar + Refuge.

“We get questions all the time: ‘When are you going to have more locations? Can you come to my neighborhood?’” Perna said. “We get requests from people looking to do things all over the city, all over the world. We thought we would baby-step it.”

If you’re already crossing your fingers for Blackbird’s next baby step to be a third location in your own neighborhood, there may be hope. According to Perna, further expansion is likely in Blackbird’s future.

“There is nothing in the works, nothing definitive yet,” she said, “but we definitely plan to keep going.”
