The Boston Cream is the most ordered donut in the case: a yeast donut filled with vanilla custard and topped with chocolate, on the menu in one form or another for decades and still the favourite the rest of the case is judged against. Tim Hortons raised the filling levels in the Boston Cream in its 2025 recipe changes, per one of the listings, so a current one should feel fuller than the version people remember complaining about. This page prices it, gives its full nutrition, and puts it in its box context.
Boston Cream donut price
| How you buy it | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Single Boston Cream | $1.59–$2.09 | 240 |
| In a box of 6 assorted | About $1.30–$1.57 each | 240 each |
| In a box of 12 assorted | About $1.17–$1.45 each | 240 each |
The Boston Cream is priced as a classic donut, in the same $1.59 to $2.09 band as the Honey Dip and the rest of the classics, even though it is filled. Individual listings that price it on its own put it at $1.99 and $2.09, the top of the band, which matches how most stores treat it. The box maths comes from the assorted box prices on the Donuts page: $7.79 to $9.39 for six and $13.99 to $17.39 for twelve.

Those figures are the set two listings agree on, drawn from the official nutrition guide numbers. One other listing’s table reads slightly differently on fat and sodium, which is a reminder that these are guide figures for a standard build. On allergens, the Boston Cream contains wheat, milk, egg and soy, and may contain peanut and tree nut traces from the shared bakery environment, like everything in the case. Allergy decisions belong to the official guide, as the Nutrition and Allergens page sets out.
The Biscoff version
For the holidays, the Boston Cream gets a limited run partner: a Biscoff Boston Cream at $2.39 and 310 calories, priced above the classic band like the other specialty donuts. It comes and goes with the holiday menu, and its current run is tracked on the Seasonal and Limited-Time Items page rather than treated as a permanent price here.
