Reviews portray Homer’s as a vibrant donut spot with huge, fresh, fluffy donuts in a wide range of flavors from classic glazed to creme brulee and maple bacon, with many praising the texture, balance of sweetness, and generous portions that justify the price for some. The shop’s playful Simpsons theme, bright pink decor, and on-site vibe with arcade games contribute to a memorable experience, and staff are frequently described as friendly, helpful, and attentive. Freshness and variety are recurring positives, and several flavors like pistachio, cookie monster, and the creme brulee are singled out as standouts, while packaging and takeout boxes are noted for being sturdy. A few reviewers find some flavors overly sweet or the price high for average donuts, and a small number report inconsistency or oiliness in certain batches. Allergens safety is mentioned by at least one reviewer who highlighted peanut concerns with a specific flavor. Overall, the sentiment is strongly favorable, with many calling it the best or a must-visit donut spot in the area, though some warn that taste can feel uniform across flavors and that the hype may not match every experience.
The donuts were insanely fresh & pillowy-soft-the kind that practically melt the second you take a bite 🤤✨. The crème brûlée donut was the clear winner for us; it somehow actually tastes like crème brûlée, with that perfect balance of creamy sweetness & caramelized goodness 🔥🍮. & honestly… just look at that Cookie Monster donut-ridiculously cute & impossible not to smile at 🥹💙🍪.
They give you a big, solid box, & I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy it was. Even sitting at the bottom of a grocery bag, it held up perfectly-just make sure you bring a large bag because this box means business 📦💪.
As for the service: I genuinely don't get some of the complaints. Maybe some reviewers expect American-style over-the-top enthusiasm? It's a donut counter, not a Broadway performance 😅. The employee was busy in the back but came out as soon as he could, carefully packed my donuts, & was polite & professional the entire time. No attitude, no rushing, no issues at all 👍🙂.
Zero complaints here-great donuts, sensible service, & exactly what you'd want from a place that focuses on the product 🍩💯.
Donuts were so fresh & soft! The crème brulée somehow tastes so much like it & was our favorite. & just look at this cookie monster guy- so cute!
The box they give you is big but sturdy enough that it held up well in the bottom of a grocery bag (but you need a large one!)
Idk if other reviewers are lost americans but it is a doughnut counter- why should service workers pretend to be in total extase to serve you a donut? The employee was busy in the back but came to help as soon as he could, very carefully placed my doughnuts in a box for me, & was perfectly polite the entire time. Zero complaints!
I love coming here, although I don't live in ndg anymore I always come by when I'm in the area. The donuts are huge & fresh so they are worth the price in my opinion. The new bunz are sooo good, I love cinnamon buns it's my favourite treat ever & these are delicious! I was surprised by the size of them, & the variety of toppings. The staff are always very social & very kind no matter who is working. The new expanded interior is also very nice.
Delicious freshly made donuts at all hours. They have great classics but also they are constantly coming up with new festive flavors to keep you coming back! A great addition to the neighborhood.

We were served right away by friendly & helpful staff who took the time to walk us through the menu since we weren't too familiar with it. The donuts were absolutely incredible - fresh, flavorful, & beautifully made. We also loved the fun touch of retro arcade games, which added a great nostalgic vibe to the place. Can't wait to go back!
Homer's Donuts is absolutely top-notch! The donuts are always fresh, soft, & packed with flavor - you can tell they're made with care. The pistachio & classic glazed are my go-tos, but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
The staff are always friendly, helpful, & welcoming. They make every visit a pleasant experience, even when it's busy. Huge shoutout to Hussein - thank you! Their service makes the experience even better.
The donuts here are really delicious & always fresh, with a nice variety to choose from. Most people opt for takeout, but it's definitely worth stopping by.

I tried the original glazed doughnut & it was pretty good! Fresh, sweet & fast. The place is also cool. Has some arcade machines & seating. Definitely a good spot for doughnuts. They have another location on Saint Catherine downtown.
Homer's Donuts are next-level fresh! Unlike many artisanal donuts, they don't have that heavy yeast taste - just pure, light deliciousness. The Dubai donut is addictively good (you've been warned 😋). The staff are incredibly friendly, & they even surprised me with extra donut holes.
A charming place, with great choices & excellent service. The shop has cute sitting spaces & comfortable chairs.
The donuts are large, fluffy & NOT oily, a problem I have had in many other places.
They are fresh & look exactly like in the pictures I am posting.
I will be direct here: these are the best donuts in the city.
Hope the owners will keep the quality of their donuts & won't start cutting corners.
Well done, you definitely deserve a 📌 on the map.

A delicious variety of gourmet donuts based on the Simpson. A must try for all donut lovers. They have a variety of flavors & everything is always fresh.
Homer's Donut Shop is an absolute gem for anyone who loves a good donut (& let's be honest, who doesn't?)!
As soon as you step in, you're hit with the irresistible scent of freshly baked goodness.
Their selection is both playful & classic whether you're into the classic glazed donuts or feeling adventurous with something seasonal, they've got you covered!
The donuts are soft, fluffy, & the perfect balance of sweetness without being overwhelming. Plus, there's something about the vibe here, the staff is always chill & ready to recommend a donut that'll hit the spot. It's the kind of place where you can't help but smile with every bite.
