Across reviews of Homers Boîte à Beignes, customers describe enormous, fresh donuts with a decadent range of flavors, many citing creme brulee and maple bacon as standouts while noting the donuts are soft, moist and generously glazed. The variety is praised for being inventive and visually appealing, with flavors that feel like a dessert experience and worth the price for donut lovers, though some call the pricing high and a few flavors overly sweet or a bit commercial in texture. Service is frequently highlighted as fast, friendly and attentive, with staff explained flavors clearly, while a few experiences mention busy periods and occasional inconsistency. The venue is described as bright and lively, sometimes featuring arcade games, clean and easy to access, though seating can be limited and the space can feel hot during peak times. Delivery or stock can vary, with some orders not matching in store offerings or flavors running out later in the day, and there are concerns about labeling for allergens on display. Despite these points, the overall impression is that the donuts are huge, fresh and delicious, making it a go to spot for a splurge or special treat and a place many intend to revisit to try more flavors.
I recently tried Homer Donuts & it definitely lives up to the hype. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this isn't just your average donut shop - everything looks fresh, thoughtfully made, & honestly a bit hard to choose from because the selection is so tempting.
The donuts themselves are the highlight. They're incredibly soft & airy, with a texture that feels light but still satisfying. You can tell they're made fresh - not greasy, not overly dense, just perfectly balanced. The sweetness is well done too. While some of the more creative or filled donuts can lean on the sweeter side, the classic flavors really stand out for being simple & executed really well.
🍩 Delicious donuts for anyone who loves very sweet pastries!
They offer a great variety of flavors with beautiful glazed designs. A specialty box of six donuts is around $18, & the regular ones are more affordable.
They also have arcade machines for kids, branded hoodies for sale, & a few tables where you can sit & enjoy your donut at the shop.
Overall, a tasty & fun spot for donut lovers!

We decided to stop for some donuts, there was enough to choose from, but all the interesting flavors were pretty much gone.
The milkshake is just overly sweet & not much flavor in it.
I really like the aesthetic of the place & inventive donut options.
Donuts overall are huge & were a but too sweet IMO. I also prefer a denser donut, but that's just my personal preference. I tried the pink sprinkle donut, which turned out to be strawberry flavoured, which I didn't care for. Also had the chocolate pistachio, it was better, but mostly chocolate flavour.
There is seating inside which is nice. Lady at the counter didn't seem to be having a good day though. Retro games are a nice to have, but only 1 really worked properly.
Homers Boîte à Beignes blew us away! Every donut we tried was next-level. The crème brûlée donut was unreal, with that caramelized top & creamy center, it felt like dessert heaven.
The maple bacon one was the perfect sweet salty combo, & the classic maple was smooth, rich, & full of flavor.
The pink sprinkle donut brought that fun, nostalgic vibe & was just as tasty as it looks. The shop itself is super vibrant, with a fun atmosphere & friendly service. Easily one of the best donut spots in town.
Pretty good doughnuts, more doughy than fluffy type of doughnuts. The more special/exotic types are too sweet for me, but overall these doughnuts are delicious.

These donuts are outrageous! They are tasty. They are sweet & they hit the spot. My fiancé & I tried a few of them out. The original (the Homer) is just right in terms of flavour & texture. We also ordered the pistachio & the Biscoff donuts which were not our favourites because we felt like they lacked the flavour they were supposed to have (For example, the pistachio would've benefitted not having the chocolate spread or having it stuffed with pistachio filling). Our favourites were definitely the lemon, crème brûlée, churro, & oddly the Elmo. This place is a great date idea. The amount of choices is a bit overwhelming, but if anything, you just go back another time (we are planning on going back soon). Because there's always a big lineup, especially on weekends, it's nice that they have arcade games to distract you during the wait. Honestly, though choosing which donut you want is already a pretty good distraction. I think my biggest critique is the size of the place. Because of its popularity, it becomes very cramped inside. Try not to go on Saturday mornings because the martial arts school next-door has a lot of kids coming in & out as well as parents trying to park & get their kids. There is not tons of parking, so keep that in mind as well.
We went in for a quick donut & we were surprised by their great & unique selection of donuts. Each one is around 2.50$ & the donuts are quite big. The filling inisde the donuts is quite generous as well. The donut itself is super soft which makes them great & they are just the right level of sweetness. Some of their options do look obnoxiously sweet though if you are a fan of that. I was also surprised that they served some savoury dishes beside donuts which was decent as well. One great thing about this place is the retro arcade games that are there. It fits the interior decorations & it's just a fun thing to do while waiting for your order. The service was nice & polite, we got our order within 5 mins but there is often a line up so please keep that in mind.
I find Krispy Kreme too sweet & artificial tasting. I was expecting the same here but the doughnuts are so fresh & delicious & the icing is also really, really good. They aren't just pure sugar, they have actual flavour. The doughnuts are super fresh & you can see them preparing them in the back. The churro piece in the churro doughnut was stale though. Still 5 stars because I have been totally won over by this place.
