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.
I watched YouTube, learned this store, specifically went to taste the Apple Fritter, doesn't make me disappointed. I tried to buy one, it was fresh, ate half of it in the street , then I decided to buy another one & carry back to home. Luckily the other side of the street there is a coffee shop, I could enjoy the piece with coffee, what a wonderful day it was!
The best donuts I've ever had, & I've tried the best donut shops across Canada. My favourite was the key lime pie, SO bouncy/light/fluffy dough, generous filling, heavenly really. I understand why people line up & walk out with boxes. Worth all the hype.

Best donuts shop in the Mile End! Bernie Beigne always has a line-up & this never stops anyone from getting their delicious donuts. They're a must try in Montreal! Also their slogan is genius "on se beigne" 👌👌👌
Finally tries this viral donut shop, probably waited 20mins at least in line. All donuts are freshly made & my favourite was the original glaces one & sour cream, the rest are a bit over sweet for me
The line & the reputation of this place brought me to check it out. Preparing my homework - after spending about 10 minutes in the line - I asked for the popular Apple Fritter, just to hear that they don't have it today. Shopping 3 donuts by what I see, I ended up with 2 deluxe donuts ($3.50+tax each) & a classic Boston Crème ($2.65+tax). The donuts are all fresh & tasty, & the services is fine. I think that the prices ($11.90 tax included for 3 donuts) are a little too high than they should be, & that I'm willing to pay. Giving it 4 starts, which takes into account the high prices & the lack of the Apple Fritter. Tip: beware of the non-standard opening hours: Closed on Mondays & Tuesday; 10 AM to 6 PM on other days.
Now 2024: the boston cream filling doesn't hit. doughnuts too sweet still best doughnut shop around :)) 2 years ago: 10/10 beigne for your buck Working my way through tasting every doughnut. So far the yeast doughnuts are fantastic, light fluffy, crisp outside.. the cake doughnut was also very good better than any I've had in a long time. Also the apple fritter could kill me & I'd be ok with that
They never fail, every time! Awesome donuts & fast , friendly service! Our go to donut shop , please don't change! One day we will try the apple fritter!🤞 First time here & it's great!😊 Fresh & tasty doughnuts & awesome service! The dough is so good & flavorful no matter what flavor you prefer you'll love them! Fun selection too! Can't wait to come back & try the apple fritter!
