Reviews describe Homers as a buzzing, visually striking donut shop known for huge, indulgent donuts, a vast variety of flavors and generous fillings that many customers find delicious, fresh and Instagram worthy, with favorites like Nutella, creme brulee, dulce de leche and pistachio and praise for creative options such as croissant style doughnuts and even savory twists, all contributing to a lively modern and kid friendly vibe that includes a private party room and arcade games and a strong presence on social media. Yet the experience is not flawless, as long lines, crowded spaces, limited seating and parking challenges are common, and service quality ranges from friendly and efficient to slow or distracted, with occasional reports of rude staff or doughnuts being mishandled, while some flavors are seen as too sweet or doughy and a few feel prices are high for what is received. Still, many say the donuts are worth the hype, noting freshness and generous size, and describe Homers as one of the best donut spots in the area, a must visit for donut lovers whether visiting for a quick takeout or enjoying a dine in experience, especially when planning ahead to beat the crowds.
Love these doughnuts! These bring you back in time. Sugar & cinnamon, Boston creme, Oreo...yum! Buy at least half a dozen otherwise you will have to revisit the line up!

I'd been wanting to visit Homer's for a while, & I figured if I was going to indulge in a doughnut, I might as well go all out - & I'm so glad I did!
From the moment you walk in, it's clear this place is a local favorite. The line stretched through the shop, with dozens of people eagerly waiting to get their hands on some treats. Thankfully, the queue was well-organized, & despite the crowd, everything moved smoothly. The energy was buzzing, & you could feel the excitement in the air.
There are a few booths available for seating, but with the number of people coming through, it's pretty unlikely you'll find a spot to sit & eat. It seems more like a grab-&-go kind of place, but honestly, the food is so good that it doesn't matter where you eat it - it's worth it either way.
During my visit, there was a DJ playing music, which added to the lively vibe. The music itself was great, but it was incredibly loud, to the point where we had to practically shout to talk to each other. I'm not sure if that's a regular thing or if there was a special event happening, but it did make it a bit hard to chat while waiting in line.
Now, onto the main event: the doughnuts. The selection is absolutely incredible, with a huge variety of flavors & toppings. I didn't see a single option I wouldn't try. On top of the classic & creative doughnut options, they also serve wild creations like doughnut sandwiches - yes, fried chicken or smoked meat served between doughnut halves - & rich, over-the-top milkshakes. It's the kind of place where you throw your diet out the window & just embrace the indulgence.
The doughnuts themselves are enormous, perfectly fried, & just the right balance of fluffy & decadent. Every bite feels like a treat, & it's clear the bakers take pride in what they do. Whether you're a fan of simple glazed doughnuts or the most outrageous flavor combinations, there's something here for everyone.
Overall, Homers absolutely lives up to the hype. It's a fun, vibrant spot with an unbeatable selection of sweet & savory treats that are worth every calorie. If you're a doughnut lover - or just looking for a unique food experience - this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!
I had a bad experience because of a staff member. When I asked her to exchange one of the doughnuts, she got irritated & just trow it in the box. For 32$ a douzain, I expect a better customer service
This place was great! They had a variety of doughnuts to choose from ( as well as some other things) & even though we went at 10pm, they still had lots of fresh doughnuts! They were not stale at all. Even though there was quite a few people in line, they had a lot of employees working so the line went super fast! Overall, it was a very pleasant experience
For a newly opened establishment this place is a disaster, from workers flirting with female customers, being aggressive toward male customers & stopping serving a customer mid order to spend 3 straight minutes arguing with other employees right infront of customers. The doughnuts are sub par & not much different than Tim Hortons, also some of the staff don't know french or English & when spoken to won't say a word they just point at other employees. Giving it 2 stars because I didn't find any bugs or rat droppings in my doughnut. Terrible place 🤮
