La Beignerie offers all vegan donuts with a wide, creative range of flavors that are often fresh and not overly sweet, including creme brulee, pistachio ice cream, and apple fritter with seasonal twists that rotate regularly. Customers praise fluffy dough, generous fillings, and vibrant glazes, and describe the shop as cute, welcoming, and a must visit for vegans and non vegans alike. Some reviewers note higher prices and limited seating or takeout only, while others report quick, friendly service and a standout, cozy atmosphere; a few also mention environmental concerns and ideas for reducing waste. Overall, it comes across as a standout Montreal donut spot with frequent new flavors and a strong track record of flavorful, innovative vegan options.
The flavors taste good, not too sweet. But the dough was disappointing. It didnt taste/feel fresh & we bought for 50$ since we had high expectations. Expensive for the quality you get. Unfortunately won't buy from there again.
So fresh & tasty! Lots of unique flavours! Tried the Phileas Fog (earl grey icing was delicious but could have done without the extra white icing on top), cookies & cream, & a classic glazed! So yummy.

Donuts are just okay & did not taste freshly made. Interesting choices, but doesn't hold a candle to Bernie Beigne. We came on a rainy day. Only customers in the store. & ordered the crème brûlée & they gave us a hideous burnt donut, all the others looked so beautiful & they gave us, their only customers a half burnt donut. The donuts do not taste fresh. Also we asked for a bag because it was raining super hard outside, they obliged but asked for 0.75$ for a plastic bag! 10-15 cents sure, but nearly a dollar? Criminal.
I ordered the Oreo & Banana split. They both tasted fresh & delicious. I'm in love! The shop is so cute 🥰 there's so many to choose from. Donut is on the pricier side but worth it! They are vegan & every month they donate to a local animal charity. I'm not sure if they still do though since their website shows last June 2024 Gerdy's Rescues & Adoptions.
Flavors pack a punch. Classic creme Brule, needs a little warming up, so either eat it freshly made, or warm it up at home. For there monthly flavors, alot of thought goes into it, & you can taste it. Base donut is heavy, so one will hit the spot. Coffee *Americano, was a surprise, really liked it.👍
Tried the rose pistachio & the coconut doughnuts. Coconut was definitely my favourite, the toasted coconut was delish & it was beautifully balanced by the salted caramel sauce. Light, fluffy, & fresh.

I was very excited to try this place for a few months. Unfortunately, 3/4 donuts I ordered were not fresh. Also found a long hair in one. Given the price of these donuts I expect better quality control. Overall a very disappointing experience
I went there to compare it to other donut shops in Montreal. I was a bit disappointed with them. I don't intend on coming back. I guess however that they are an ok vegan option. I'm not sure if it was the hour I went, but the donuts were also not very fresh. They are also on the more expensive side.
Finally decided to go after reading good things about the place.
Store looked nice inside & they have a wide selection of unique donuts.
Unfortunately, the donuts were stale even after consuming 10 to 15 minutes after purchase. There is absolutely no way that those were made fresh as they claim...
Quite frankly, overpriced & overrated, given that 4 donuts will run you about 22$.
