Staff was super helpful with explanations on the different flavours & textures. The mango-chili was delicious, & the new chocolate-sesame was a delightfully subtle, & oh so very heavenly, taste experience! Complex flavour/texture combinations that are well-balanced & not overwhelming. 10/10 would recommend!
Amazing selection of donuts! We devoured a box of six among two people & loved every bite. Our favourites were lime & tamarind & mango, coconut & chili. Service was 10/10 - the staff are very sweet & helpful
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.

These donuts are a whole new level for me. Texture, unique flavours, quality of ingredients…flawless. My top pick is the mango chili cruller. The service was kind & informative.
If you want donuts that taste like actual food & not just dough with sugar on it, this is the place. The mango coconut was a flavour bomb of goodness in my mouth.

This donut shop has changed desserts for me! You have never had a real donut if you've never tried beigne habitude, & for my'i dont like sweet treat' folks like myself, trust that you will like these!
From specialty flavours like lemon meringue, to mango chili, they are always adding new flavours that just hit the balance whether you like citrus, chocolate, cinnamon, or even spicy!
Their staff is also exceptional, kind & give the best recommendations!
They are worth the drive, worth the walk, & worth the detour. A must try in the Montreal dessert scene!
Spectacular!!! Soft dough, super aerie , I had the mango coconut & chili. I get the chili as a "out of the ordinary " but un necessary for me. I just wish they offered a better cafe . This would create a more warming atmosphere.
I stumbled across Beigne Habitude & I'm so happy I did (also happy I love no where close), because their donuts are to die for. I've now had the pleasure of trying so many flavours: cherry cola, Apple fritter, chocolate babka, coffee, honey & sunflower, bay leaf & Concord grape, passionfruit & chocolate, mango chili, & strawberry lemon. Each one delicious in its own right. Yum!! I love that there are different types of dough for the donuts, really playing to capture a broad audience. Run, don't walk!
On a Secret Food Tour of Montreàl, Beigne Habitude was the final "secret" stop & their Choux donuts were the best thing, hands down, on a tour of the amazing foods of Jean-Talon & Little Italy. I had a honey sunflower cruller & bought the Spicy Mango to go. I'm eating the mango donut now, the next day, & it is STILL amazing. The dough is soft & eggy, the mango adds a little tartness, & heat of the chilies hits a little later. Honestly, though, you could put about anything on their choux dough & it would be delicious. The shop itself is very utilitarian & you can see the donut creations in the making. The next time you go to the market, make a little side trip!

I don't even have a sweet tooth but these artisanal donuts converted me 👻 not oily or heavy, & not too sweet. the base brioche donuts taste high quality ingredients & made with love. amazing innovative flavours, the coconut mango chili, hibiscus & lime guava are beyond... their newest flavour old fashion lemon is SO good! excited to taste them all. super friendly owners, affordable good coffee too
This is the best donut I've ever had, & the owners were beyond kind! Been telling everyone I know to go by. We tried the chai, chili-mango-coconut & rhubarb & I've been dreaming about them ever since.
Im very picky when it comes to donuts because I am not a fan of the greasy & oily taste of donuts. These are beautifully crafted but I was disappointed in greasy dough & the overly sweet icing. I got the coconut mango chili 🌶️ 🥭 pate a choux donut. 6/10 I would get one of their other type of donuts next time i come back :) Good coffee though
I would put 10 stars if I could. It's the BEST DONUTS EVER. they are fluffy & not overly sweet. The flavours are nothing like I have ever seen at any donut shop before. My favourite is the mango coco chili & matcha fraise. But ALL OF THEM ARE FINGER LICKING! A must try for everyone.
