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.
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! 🍩
My beautiful girlfriend has taken me here twice now, she loves me so she buys me a doughnut every time. The Simpson doughnut tastes exactly like how I imagined it would. Merci pour les Beignets
These donuts are really good! It was my first visit, & the employee was so friendly & helpful, recommending some great choices. The dough is wonderfully soft without being too sugary. I especially love the plain one because you can really savor the flavor of the dough itself.
Bernies Doughnuts is the perfect place for a sweet snack. We shared the maple glazed & the chocolate doughnuts & both were absolutely delicious. Fresh soft & full of flavour with just the right amount of sweetness. Big thumbs up all around 🍩
Bernie has to know how of the trade, gets just enough air into the dough, promised me if i ate enough here, he will show me how. Waiting still Bernie B!
For the people saying homers is better… WRONG!
Bernie's is hands down the best donuts in town!
They know what they are doing with their dough, toppings, fillings, etc.

Of the best doughnuts in Mtl right now. So soft, chewy, delicious ingredients. Do not let the lineup scare you, they serve quickly. Great flavours & super light doughnuts.
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.
These guys know how to make donuts the real way, not only does it taste amazing they're very generous on the toppings. The best Apple fritter in city. Wait till you taste their carrot cake doughnut.
