there are some things in life that befuddle me & that i must come to accept that i will just never be able to understand - how bernie beigne can make donuts so ridiculously incredible & perfect is one of those things. what might be even more astounding is how affordable these massive donuts are, when they are possibly one of the most flawless things i've ever had. i could have ten of these & not get sick of it. donuts seriously cannot get better than this.

the apple fritter is HUMUNGOUS & HEFTY. i could feel its freshness as i attempted to balance the behemoth in the palm of my hand: the hot dough fresh out of the fryer, still a bit moist & juicy from the oil. it was like i'd never tasted a real donut before - the inside was the softest & fluffiest pastry you could ever imagine (not unlike bread, with its not-too-sweet fragrance & the way it pulled apart) & a sugary, glazed, crunchy crust. however, the perfection of the apple fritter doesn't stop with the dough - it also tasted incredible. the donut is fragrant & not too sweet, & it is embedded with sizeable, slightly tart, soft chunks of boiled apple coated with a veryyy subtle cinnamon flavour.

their selection of regular donuts is impossible to choose from, but somehow i narrowed it down to their brownies one. i am not kidding when i say this is literally two bite brownies in donut form. it is an masterpiece of chocolatey sweetness: the crunchy, nostalgic chocolate sprinkles; the light, airy, buttery chocolate mousse; the super rich, thick, smooth, & sweet chocolate icing; & of course, the fudgy two-bite brownie perched on top of it all. it is an absolute weapon & chocolatey force to be reckoned with. of course, the donut was perfect as well: i've never had a softer & more pillowy treat, the way it bites off without resistance & melts in your mouth to give a pleasant sweetness.

If you are anywhere near Mile End, stopping by Bernie Beigne is non-negotiable. The vibe in the shop is warm & welcoming, the counter staff are always super friendly, & everything coming out of the kitchen is ridiculously fresh.

The Apple Fritters.They are colossal, perfectly golden-crisp on the outside, & soft & airy on the inside. You get actual chunks of sweet apples & the perfect hint of cinnamon wrapped in a light glaze. Calling them'amazing' is an understatement-they are honestly life-changing!

All I can say is amazing. What a variety of doughnuts the apple fritter has to weigh 2 pounds. The bacon maple had at least a half pound of bacon tasty unique & best of all a fantastic doughnut

Wowow!!!! P'tit arrêt impulsif au Bernie Beigne après l'avoir mis sur ma liste depuis longtemps. Les beignes sont délicieux. Moelleux, frais, pas trop sucrés. J'ai pris des classiques Sucre-Cannelle & Crème Boston. J'espère pouvoir essayer le Apple Fritter la prochaine fois, il a l'air sublime. Merci au commis qui ne m'a pas rushé dans ma décision & qui a pris le temps de m'expliquer des sortes que je ne connaissais pas. Faites le détour, ça vaut la peine 🫶

Quaint donut shop with fresh made treats that melt in your mouth. The sugar, glazed & apple fritter donuts are dangerously good. They even tossed in an extra donut, just because. Friendly, welcoming, & dripping with tasty goodness. I'm a fan!

Apple fritter: very good & huge

Classic glazed: very good

Bostom cream: tastes like an eclair, quite nice

Biscoff: nice, a bit light on the biscoff flavor

Lemon: quite nice meringue, very soft

All very soft & generous on the filling

Fantastic donuts, friendly staff, & great merch! The apple fritter is about the size of four normal fritters & I ate the whole thing over the course of three days.

Visiting from Bangkok & had to try the donuts here! The donuts here is quite different from what we usually have fluffier, softer, & bigger too! 👌🏻 HIGHLY RECOMMEND 👌🏻
I got a few donuts including the maple bacon & the glazed donut. The maple bacon was my favorite! I love the sweet & savory combo, & it wasn't overly sweet 🥹💗 & of course, you can never go wrong with a classic glazed donut. The staff were also very friendly & even let me try the apple fritter & the cinnamon sugar donut. Merci beaucoup 💗🦭
Even I couldn't finish everything in one day, but they still tasted really good the next day after warming them up in the oven!

Would definitely visit again 💗
