Bernie Beigne is widely praised for fresh, soft, and fluffy donuts with generous fillings and toppings, and the apple fritter is repeatedly described as huge, crisp on the outside and wonderfully fluffy inside; the original glazed, Boston cream, Simpson, and other flavors are frequently highlighted as standout options. The experience is marked by friendly, efficient service and a welcoming vibe, with lines often forming but moving quickly, and many reviews call Bernie Beigne one of the best donut spots in Montreal (and even Canada) and worth the wait, a must-try whether for takeout or a box to share.
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!
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!
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😋
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.
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! 🍩
The best days nut shop in Montreal if not the province. If ever you get the chance order the apple fritter, it's the Unicorn of all donuts & the size of a catchers mitt.

You have to experience the apple fritters when they come out of the oven! Yum! I wish there were more cake donut flavors, but the main fonts have perfect texture & smooth glossy icing!
Amazing donuts & that apple fritter is no joke! Great prices & service. Not much area to sit & enjoy though so be expected to take it to go. We will be back for sure.
I've been to over 85 countries & have a crippling sweet-tooth. These are the BEST apple fritters bar none that I have ever had the pleasure to experience. I knew they were a hot commodity so I called ahead to catch them after they made their last batch for the evening. They are ENORMOUS & yet the same price as the rest. I'm more of a purist so the best donuts I had (aside from apple fritters) was the apple cinnamon filled, Boston cream was excellent & real quality cream, followed by powdered strawberry filled. All high quality ingredients that you could tell the difference. We need more places like this that emphasise high quality & not just the usual instagram BS* this entire box including the fritters was only $25. That's very good value for money in today's market for these quality of donuts. Next time I'd just get all fritters if I wanted the most bang for your buck!

I am from the States & I have tried donuts 🍩 from all over North America 🇺🇸 this family recipe is simply amazing! My wife & got to meet the owner & his family & they were truly delightful people. The Apple fritter is also AMAZING! There was a line out the door but it was definitely worth the wait, I highly recommend you go if you're ever in Montreal.
The dough they use for their donuts is incredible - so light, fluffy, soft, but still a substantial bite. Honestly, the perfect donut. Their flavors are also so good. We got the basic glazed & maple glazed & it was still good the next day. A warm donut here is just heavenly! 100% worth it. We're just bummed we got here too late & the apple fritter was all sold out.
