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.
It's easily the best glazed donut I've ever had. Have tried many of the other dipped & flavoured ones & they are good but nothing can beat the fresh $2 glazed donut

I think these are the best donuts in Montreal. We tried quite a few places, but this one is really good. The dough, flavor, & aftertaste are great, & we don't taste the old oil. We love the Boston cream, maple bacon donut, original glazed donut, Kit Kat, raspberry, & Nutella. It's super messy when you eat the Nutella, but it's worth it. We will definitely come back for more.
I grew up in the town where the first Tim Horton's opened. Back in the day (about a million years ago), it was a special thing. My dad used to buy a box of donuts for a treat. My favourite was the glazed donut. Tim Horton's fed me on late nights in University. A friend of mine owns a bunch of franchises. I generally try to never eat at a Tim Horton's because their product is so far off what it was originally. Back in the day, you had a baker on staff who came in & made donuts all night. Today, Tim's is made in a factory, delivered frozen, & made edible by some means I really don't want to think about. Walking along St. Denis, there was a woman with two young boys scarfing down a couple of awesome looking donuts. I asked her where she got them from, & she told me it was around the corner, up the street & turn left again. That was enough calorie output for me to get there. These were the donuts of my childhood. Back when donuts (or beignets as they are called in Quebec) were delicious. They're generously sized, have a number (many numbers) of flavours, & they're fantastic. Made by hand, & with love.
The original donuts here are so fire! Not overly glazed. Soft. Sweet. Just perfectly doughy. The one thing is that they will run out some days, so important to go really on the weekends or just call ahead. They have alot of creative & indulgent donuts. Unfortunately, they don't sell my favorite flavor which is Krispy Kreme is #1 for. Which is.... chocolate glazed with sprinkles. That sweet crunch is everything. This place reminds me a bit of Longs from Indy.
Bernie's Donuts: A Hit & Miss Bernie's Donuts used to be a go-to spot for me, but unfortunately, things have changed. While their apple fritter remains a standout, the once-incredible chocolate glazed donut has taken a disappointing turn. The apple fritter is a true gem. It's packed with flavor, incredibly satisfying, & surprisingly not overly sweet. A fantastic value for the price, it's a must-try for any donut lover. However, the chocolate glazed donut, a former favorite, is now a shadow of its former self. The rich, decadent chocolate glaze that used to coat the donut has been replaced by something resembling a thin chocolate syrup. It's a real letdown for those who remember the donut in its prime. While the apple fritter keeps Bernie's Donuts in the running, I hope they can revisit the chocolate glaze recipe & bring back that old-school deliciousness.

I came here because of the smell that o felt from 2 blocks away. There was a small line but it moved fast. Then it was the choice: so many different flavors, I wanted to try them all but I only had one stomach. I loved the glazed one & the oreo one the most. The difference between the doughnuts here & the ones in other places is the dough. It is softer & less chewy. I loved it & I totally recommend it.
Place is just top notch... If you're a real yeasted donut lover, this is your spot. It's always pretty fresh, dough is clearly handled by people who know fermentation, frying is on point. I stick to simpler flavors because I really want to taste the dough. I think some of their filled donuts have *too* much filling. But these are just my preferences - you can't really go wrong, I think. Prices are really good too for the size & quality. A glazed donut here is like half the price of a typical croissant, which is amazing. Also, the employees are very kind & efficient without making you feel rushed. The apple fritters are limited, but if you happen to see them, they're a must-buy!
Best donuts ever! Order this in delivery. They arrived very fresh, & we were sent 2 extra glazed donuts on our 12 donut order. They're very soft, the right amount of moist & sweet & not greasy at all. It just melts in your mouth. Glazed donuts were my favourite.
I LOVE donuts. But I have NEVER had a donut as good as what I experienced here. Started with a glazed & thought "ya, ok, this decent." Then bit into a maple bacon & almost cried with pure joy. It was truly amazing. Then a kit kat, an Oreo, a butterscotch, they were all spectacular. I'm greatly looking forward to polishing off the rest of the box.

Worth the hype!! As a professional donut lover they were delicious tried the glazed & Oreo! Super soft & fluffy highly recommend. The service was also amazing had a 20 min line outside for Easter weekend & he still took the time to suggest flavours & grab me a fresh donut from the prep area! Attitude makes a big difference & they nailed it.
Fabulous fresh donuts in the Mile End ! Had the honey glazed, chocolate glazed, & powdered strawberry. Couldn't wait to sit outside & break into the box ! Donuts were light & not overly yeasty nor greasy. The perfect treat after a walk around the Mile End area
We were out for a walk on a beautiful November morning in Montréal & stumbled upon this unexpected gem! We saw a good sized line extending out into the street & just had to investigate! I'd been on good behavior but when I saw a rack full of fresh glistening dripping glazed donuts 🍩 calling my name I locked into formation on line & patiently waited for my turn.
