Reviews consistently describe Bernie Beigne as a standout donut shop in Montreal, with fresh, soft, airy dough and a wide, well executed range of flavors from classic glazed to inventive options like maple bacon, cotton candy, and Simpson, plus the legendary large apple fritter; the donuts are often praised for being not overly sweet, generously filled, and freshly made, with many saying the plain glazed or the Boston cream are among the best ever and that the fritters are the star. The experience is enhanced by friendly, efficient service and a welcoming vibe, though lines can be long and seating is limited; still, quick turnover and helpful staff keep the mood upbeat, and the packaging and shop design add to the overall appeal. Overall, Bernie Beigne is described as among the best donuts in Montreal, frequently cited as worth the wait, and several reviews mention driving from afar to return, reinforcing its status as a must visit for donut lovers.
This was my first time here & this place definitely lives up to the hype! We ordered the apple fritter & original glazed donut. The apple fritter was a lot bigger than we thought & the original glazed donut was probably the best donut I've ever had! 10/10 experience
Update: came back again. This time got another original glazed & the Simpson's donut😋
Very solid donuts! The glazed was good but not as good as the best glazed donuts I've had. The real standout for me was the maple bacon. Great maple taste & I like how loaded with bacon it was. The carrot cake old fashioned tasted great but was a tad bit on the dry side, but maybe it was just the one I got & it wasn't too noticeable when eating with the frosting. Overall very good & would recommend.
Minchia bro, I gained 25 pounds. You start with one & you wanna eat the granite counter. I gotta start doing pushups now. I don't care, they're fabulous.

Although we didn't get the famous apple fritters( come early if you can, they sell out fast) the options we chose were fantastic! Our favorite was the skor donut.
If you're in Montréal & love donuts, you have to try Bernie Beigne.
The apple fritter is absolutely out of this world. It's perfectly crisp on the outside, soft & fluffy on the inside, & packed with real apple flavour. Every bite has that perfect balance of sweetness & texture - not overly sugary, just rich, warm, & incredibly satisfying.
You can tell these donuts are made with care. Fresh, generous, & honestly one of the best apple fritters I've ever had.
If you're anywhere near Bernie Beigne, do yourself a favour & grab one… or two. You won't regret it.
Première fois que je goûte des beignes québécoises alors quoi de mieux que de s'adresser au roi de la beigne montréalaise ! Ma fille & moi avons craqué pour une boîte de 6 beignes différents. Un délice de gourmandise ! Merci pour ce moment sucré & réconfortant.
My cousin brought me doughnuts from Bernie Beigne & I completely fell in love! You can tell they're super fresh & flavorful! Today, I placed an order myself & requested a mix.. I dove straight in, trying the boston cream (best custard I've tasted in a doughnut so far) & the double chocolate, which was really decadent. My son had a little bit of the M&M & chocolate sprinkles topped with the brownie.. he voted the M&M as his top! Can't wait to try the rest! My husband definitely loves the classics, where you can appreciate the freshness of the dough a lot more!
Hands down the best doughnuts I've had. I drive 40 minutes just to visit Bernie's Donuts & it's worth every minute. The doughnuts are fresh, soft, & packed with flavour. The apple fritter was absolutely incredible. Easily some of the best doughnuts in Canada! 🍩
We had Bernie's donuts at our Scientista symposium, & they were amazing! Great management, easy to work with, & quality food. I loved the wide variety of donuts & their different flavors! Would definitely recommend & I will be ordering again/visiting soon!
Ordered a Giant Simpson donut for my son's birthday & it was amazing !! So fluffy & moist . Everybody loved it ! Best donut in Mtl !! My fave is the kit kat ! So good
Thank you !!!
