Packaging waste is criticized by some, suggesting a move toward more eco friendly boxes. Overall Beigne Habitude is viewed as a standout donut destination in the city, with many considering it the best and a must try.
Simply THE best & most unique doughnuts. They're like no other doughnuts I've had before. They continuously come out with new flavours for a limited time, & I recently tried the carrot cake-flavored one-it was so good!! I'll need to go back for more lol.

I'm a big boy, so I'm speaking from experience when I say that these guys make the absolute best doughnuts I've ever had. They're a bit more expensive sure, but they're worth every penny!
Just today I finally got a chance to try their bagels & at the risk of upsetting the people entrenched in the St. Viateur vs Fairmount crowd, for my money, Beigne Habitude has the best bagels in the city of Montreal!
I would recommend to stop using single use plastics for your boxes. I know it makes them look better but it's a lot of waste for little reason. Other than that very good doughnuts!
Absolutely delicious doughnuts with fun, creative flavors, & served by owners who are always kind. I have made it a habit to stop in after an appointment on that side of town when I'm in the area every single week. My #1 favorite is the small time of year that they make a citron meringue, fluffy toasted meringue with a lemon curd filling. Other favorite flavors are the mélilot (glazed & herbaceous), caramel (glazed, the drizzle on top is amazing), the clementine, & the fig & hibiscus. The owner recognizes me now & is always welcoming. She knows I'm working to learn French & will help me when I see a word I don't recognize (since they change their flavors often!). They support my language learning but are fully fluent in English & helpful in whichever language I try to use on a given day.
Highly recommend this shop!
I've never felt so compelled to write a review before but these are by far the best doughnuts I've ever had in my life. Truly an elevated form of the dessert - the creative flavours are revelatory & even a simple flavour is a show-stopper. The old-fashioned maple I tried today had a texture I've never experienced before - it was moist with real maple syrup (no surprise there) but also crispy in a very satisfying way. Highly recommend getting a few flavours to share with friends so you can try a variety!

Why this place has not yet been recognized as a Montreal institution is beyond me. There is no one else in town at this level when it comes to doughnuts. Sue me if you don't agree (please don't).
Quality, gourmet doughnuts - exactly what I've been looking for since my other favorite place, Trou de Beigne, sadly closed. Woman who served me (one of the owners I'm assuming) was very kind. Love that the flavours rotate.
What a great place. The chocolate babka doughnuts are out of this world great. All the doughnuts are excellent. I froze them to keep them fresh longer & the freeze so well. Highly recommend
Great doughnut shop, great flavours. Love that they go for an interesting variety of options & avoid those trendy doughnuts you see elsewhere that are super basic with a just bunch of stuff piled on top. However, coffee wasn't very good & there is no washroom for customers who choose to dine-in. 5 star doughnuts, 3 star everything else. Get them to go.

These are hands down the best doughnuts in the city! So fresh. The owners are incredibly welcoming, the space is clean & inviting, & the prices are more than fair. Highly recommend!
Right from the beginning I knew it was going to be love at first bite. I've been lucky enough to be a long time fan of owners Rachel & Mike's creations. I first tried their doughnuts when they were cooks at our tree-planting camp. Every planter knows that the most integral part of bush work is the meal at the end of the day, & Rachel & Mike surpassed everyone's expectations. After a long hard day of planting trees you could count on a delicious meal & occasionally a bite of a donut that truly was bliss. Since then I remained a dedicated supporter of their vision. Every pop up was filled with new & exciting creations that I never thought could be improved upon. Now that the shop is open it's nothing short of satisfying to see the dedication & ingenuity shine through everything from decisions about the floors & countertops, to the delicious treats! When you walk through the door you can immediately tell there's no games or gimmicks just a solid team with solid recipes. You can count on the fact that their in-house creations are consistently moist & buttery, only enhancing the flavour profile. Each donut has it's own unique & cohesive spin on classic flavours we know & love. If you ever get a chance to go you'll be lucky enough to experience the warmth & love created with their food us tree planters we're privileged to experience!
I was introduced to this place by a friend & I'm in love. I'm very happy I'm 2hrs away from this place, or else I'd gain 50 lbs from all the doughnuts! Also they had a cherry coke doughnut that tasted exactly like the drink! I DON'T KNOW HOW! (I don't enjoy colas but have to admit it was super well executed!)
Best beignets/doughnuts we found in Montreal & we have been on the lookout. Lovely new business owners who put much TLC into their creations & the proof is in the taste. 3 styles of dough - including one which is based on choux pastry. Love the choux honey & sunflower doughnut which melts in your mouth - light & airy, with a delicate flavour. We look forward to visiting again on our next trip!
