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.
Best caramel crueller donut I've ever eaten!! The woman at the counter (owner?) was so friendly & helpful, explaining each different donut flavour & giving recommendations! Would recommend to anyone visiting Montreal to go here!
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).

The best donuts 🍩 in Montreal area, hands down. The dough taste so good it's unmatched compared other donut shop.You can taste every single ingredients, the topping is not based solely sugar, chocolate etc. My favorite donut shop🙂
J'ai beaucoup aimé, j'ai pris le Babka, chocolat cannelle, c'était croustillant & moelleux à la fois. Le goût de la cannelle était très subtil, mais on le sentait quand même. Ce que j'ai le plus adoré c'est vraiment la pâte, ce mélange le texture & ce croustillant!Un très bon goût de beurre. J'en étais toute chose. D'habitude, je ne suis pas fan des beignes qu'on vend un peu partout , mais je pense qu'avec cette variété plutôt originale j'ai trouvé chaussure à mon pied. C'était un poil trop sucré avec le glaçage mais vu la qualité du beignet, je suis prête à passer outre. Cerise sur le gâteau la très aimable personne au comptoir m'a offert un beignet puisque je suis passée en fin de journée. Ce dernier, aux amandes & aux raisins étaient également délicieux, je reviendrai pour sûr tester d'autres saveurs.
Des beignes vraiment délicieux, à pâte briochée, mais aussi roussette & à l'ancienne. Les saveurs sont délicieuses; crème de marron & confiture de figues, c'est formidable !
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.
