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.
Very cute restaurant with cute snacks, yummy food, & beautiful decor. It felt very inviting & I had a good time over here. Nice & friendly staff as well!
Bernie Beigne has, quite simply, the best donuts in town. Flavour, quality, value, selection - everything. These are donuts of such high quality that they are even good the next day or even the day after that! Who else can claim that?
Every single low rating here is ridiculous, unfair or insincere: 1 star because there are no vegan options? 1 star because they ran out of your favourite donut? It is truly unconscionable to give a small, local, independently-owned business 1 star here for things like that, truly shameful. Trust the other 99% of reviews here - Bernie Beigne is the BEST (& all the staff is so nice, too)!!

The beigne's were good, but honestly nothing special (I also don't like too overly sweet desserts). They did have a lot of different flavors/variety, but I stuck with the classic glaze. Seating is also limited/just standing only/no table only a bench.
The most memorable thing was the service. A younger man helped me & was so sweet & kind to me 🥹Thank you for being patient with a picky person like me & letting me try different flavors!
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.
We were lucky enough to admit the mother of the owner outside. What a wonderful family vibe. Very generous & the donuts are incredible! We came from Ontario with this as part of our plan & do you guys did not disappoint! Thank you so much we will be back!!! ❤?❤?❤?
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 💗

The best glazed donut I've ever had! We were visiting Montreal & this place was highly recommended. Definitely check it out! The donuts were light, fluffy & all the different flavours were crafted with care you could tell. Dean was helping us pick out donuts & he was super friendly as well! I'll be dreaming of these donuts back in Sask!
The staff were rude, & it felt like serving customers was an inconvenience to them. I also overheard staff making fun of customers, which was honestly shocking & uncomfortable. I won't be returning.
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😋
