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
i kept coming back for/daydreaming about the rhubarb donut ngl! tried other ones too & they all carried the same superb artisanal quality with thoughtful funky flavours but the rhubarb really scratches the itch for me. the thin simple sugar icing is perfect, the slightly chewy & savoury dough is perfect, then comes the lightly acidic, well-balanced rhubarb sauce filling…
also loveeeed the sour hibiscus icing & the highly sour lime & tangerine flavour combo, very unique! appreciate the coffee & tea availability as well as flavoured sparkling water (cans) on the menu.
the place is cute with lots of natural light. less busy during the week!
staff was nice & always asked if we liked the food afterwards.
easily the best donut shop in the city!
Nous y sommes allés sur un coup de tête, sans regret! On y est même déjà retournés pour essayer ceux qu'on n'avait pas déjà goûtés. Le staff est vraiment au courant du produit, font des recommandations.
Je vous suggère d'ailleurs si vous en prennez plus qu'un, de tester dans une catégorie de beigne différente, ils ont plus qu'un choix de type de pâte à beigne, tout est vraiment bon mais on a un favorit, soit celui à l'ancienne au citron pavot.
Suggérons d'y aller en matinée afin d'avoir du choix & du fameux stationnement ;)
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.
Meilleures beignes de Montréal selon moi. Des beignes modernisées, qui sont masterisés à la perfection. Aucun raté, tout est vraiment délicieux. Continuez comme ça !
I've had these several times now & they are always delicious. These are serious pastry chefs that are using their knowledge of techniques & flavours to elevate the usually overly sweet donut. Their donuts are perfectly balanced, the flavours are always surprising & well balanced.
