Beigne Habitude is widely praised for its fresh, brioche like donuts with a crispy exterior and light, airy crumb, and for its inventive, rotating lineup of flavors such as mango chili, caramel, rhubarb, and seasonal specials; reviewers call it the best donuts in Montreal, with several claiming it to be among the best donuts they have ever tasted, and some noting the cozy bakery vibe and friendly, knowledgeable staff who happily explain flavors and make recommendations; while most praise the quality and creativity, a few critiques point to higher prices, occasional oiliness, or flavors that may be too experimental for some, yet the overall sentiment remains highly positive and consistent.
Guys, do yourself a favor & get these donuts. I've been ordering these before they even became a shop &, let me tell you, these are 100% THE BEST donuts in all of Montreal. Incredible dough, awesome flavors & the people making them are also very chill. 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 googled'the best donuts in Montreal' & this one shows up... Not disappointed at all. They really have the best of the best! Crazy but amazing combinations of flavors, soft inside & crispy outside... Just Wow!
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!
Fantastic donut shop in little Italy. Small place. Not your typical donut shop. They make some unusual flavors. Also some of there donuts are made super soft & they are amazing! You need to eat with a fork.I tried the mangue coco & the flavor was really good but a tad sweet. My favorite was miel tournesol. Was not expecting the texture to be so soft & airy. Not sweet at all which is the way i like desserts...so I can eat more. Tip to donut makers. Don't make too sweet & you'll get more customers. They'll buy more & more often. You'll always get the sweet lovers since there's no stopping them but also those who don't like overly sweet desserts. I'm definitely coming back to try there other creations. Friendly service.
The Alfa Romeo of donuts. Unexpected flavor combos like mango chili & earl grey, & the most decadent apple fritter laced with just the right hint of spice. The textures are spot-on, from a light, airy cruller to a satisfyingly dense old fashioned. These donuts feel serious & refined, but the vibe is friendly & unpretentious. Great service, thoughtful execution, a real gem.
A lot of so-called artisanal donuts in the city are just fluffy dough with some aromatic glaze or fillings but these donuts are special. I love that you can get them in different styles & the flavours are not just after thought as a glaze: the whole donut is conceived to be a better sum of all parts from the texture to combination of flavors. Something that sounds as simple as honey & sunflower seed becomes a masterpiece in a cruller. I love them so much that twice in a row their donuts were the birthday'cake' of my choice. Also extremely decent people in an industry full of jerks
Best donuts I've ever had (I had many in my life, I have a sweet tooth). They were so moist & fluffy - think a crossover between a donut & a croissant. On top of that, the flavors are very unique & were delicious.
Looks great but honestly not to my taste at all: it's so oily & greasy that's basically all you taste :/ I tried the Thai tea & I could get none of the flavors because of how greasy & sweet it was, so bit disappointed I don't get it like all the other people who reviewed do ? Would not get again I about had a heart attack finishing the two I got
I am a donut fan & I have had quite a few in my lifetime, especially in the US. I at times bring these at diner parties & they are always a huge hit. Beigne habitude is simply the best. Friendly service & Bonjour, butter ! Plus creative seasonal flavors. YUM.
If you are even close to the area, you owe yourself a stop here. The donuts are excellent - very creative flavor combinations, & expertly executed. Light & fluffy, don't sit like a rock in your gut like chain pastry. The owners are incredibly nice & helpful, clean welcoming space, & reasonable prices too. Can't recommend enough!

The best apple fritter I've ever had, a little greasy but omg so flavorful. Every flavor hits so good. & the chocolate peanut buttercup was also phenomenal..
These were great, I tried the peach jam & Earl Grey as well as the honey & sunflower seeds cruller. The cruller or "Roue de tracteur" was super light & had great flavor. 10/10 The peach jam was also excellent, with a tangy peach jam, but it was overall a bit too sweet for my taste. 8.5/10
These deep fried donuts are super greasy as if the oil was not hot enough. We were excited to try their unique flavors but the oil quantity was too much. Their method might be different from your classic/typical donut shop, but unfortunately their donuts were inedible... quite disappointing
Great donuts!! Employees are so nice. Always changing the flavors but everyone I've had has been delicious. Definitely try the chai & the peach Earl grey if you can.
I love these donuts! Fresh & fluffly. The flavors are awesome, they change flavors periodically, it's always exciting to see what's coming next. The owners are friendly & easy to chat with, it shows how much they are passionate about their business. The place is located in a lively street, near marché Jean-Talon, it is great to grab a donut & walk around & explore the area.
