Donuts are consistently described as fresh, large, soft and flavorful, with a wide range of flavors from classic glazed to inventive options like creme brulee and pistachio; the texture is light and not overly greasy, and many say the sweetness level is well balanced, though a few note some flavors can be very sweet. Prices are generally seen as fair for the size and quality, with some mentions of higher price for premium flavors. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and helpful, and the shop ambiance is welcoming and playful, often highlighted by retro arcade games that add nostalgic charm. Overall, Homers is portrayed as a standout donut destination in Montreal, a must try for donut lovers, with many reviewers planning to return and praise the packaging and on site experience, while a small number point to room for improvement in consistency or cleanliness.
I went in to buy a few donuts, but since there are many flavors & I'm not familiar with all the exact names, I accidentally said a couple of them wrong. Instead of simply helping, the staff member kept correcting me in a very rude & condescending way.
For example, when I thought one donut was tiramisu but it wasn't, he said'This is not tiramisu, it's ___, ok?' in a sarcastic tone. Another time I asked for an'original' donut (which usually means a plain one in many places), & when I clarified it wasn't what I meant, he responded'That's called sugar, ok?' again very dismissively.
Customers shouldn't have to memorize every donut name just to order. If someone points or describes what they want, that should be enough. The attitude was unnecessarily mean & made the experience very uncomfortable.

I tried the donuts at Homer's along rue Sherbrooke, & I think you'd really enjoy their selection of donuts & buns. I bought half a dozen of their premium?flavored donuts, & everything was delicious. What stood out the most was the sweetness level - it was exactly right for my palate. The price is also reasonable: six pieces of their premium beignets cost $18

question de goût mais après deux tentatives, à mon avis, ceux des grandes surfaces chez un concurrent populaire sont bien meilleurs que ceux de chez ome
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 🍩💯.
