Reviews describe La Beignerie as a standout all vegan donut shop in Montreal, known for big fresh donuts with inventive flavors like creme brulee, pistachio, passion fruit, apple fritter and biscoff, and for a cozy playful vibe with friendly staff, though seating inside is not available and payment is often cashless. Many say the donuts are delicious, with a soft texture and vibrant glazes, and praise the variety and freshness, while some flavors are noted as exceptional and others as overly sweet or a bit heavy and a few are not fully filled. Prices are described as high by some, though many feel the vegan offerings justify the cost. Several reviews raise sustainability concerns and suggest improvements such as more waste reduction, bringing own containers, and more recycling options, and a few mention flies around the donuts. Accessibility is noted as an issue with no ramp in some cases. Overall the place is viewed as a must try and a go to for vegan donuts, with many visitors returning on multiple trips for the flavors and the all vegan commitment.
Such fantastic donuts - can't believe everything is vegan!! I know it's not the most exciting but my favorite is the jelly donut it's classic but nonetheless sublime. The Boston crème & nut one are great as well.
I processed a lot before doing this review. I ordered 6 donuts via uber eats. I had a discount so it was much cheaper than it should have been & yet I still paid 30bucks.
The donuts were good, don't get me wrong, they were tasty & the dough was perfect. But I don't think they are worth their price.
Most of them are not even filled, so you are paying around 5 dollars for a donut that only has some topping & that's it.
Overall I think this place is waaay overhyped. Are the donuts good? Yes. Are they worth the price? No, you can buy a dicen at kryspy kreme for half the price of 6 donuts at this place & you would enjoy them the same.

We loved our donuts from La Beignerie. They were not cheap but I thought they were worth the cost. Would have loved to have snagged some of their cute merch. Next time.
The donuts here are AMAZING. I will definitely be going back. I gave the atmosphere 3 stars just because it's a small place with no seating & I would have liked to sit down & enjoy my donut there. Other than that it's great & they have a nice selection.
Some of the most wondrous things in our world exist for only a day. Insects with wings of incredible complexity & colour, tears from a child whose desire for chocolate milk was left wanting, & of course doughnuts. Their very reason for being is temporary, for to gaze upon them for too long is to fall into a terrible trap of gluttony & self recrimination. No doughnuts we given to us by gods who also left us with the horror of free will. & your free will WILL be tested. Montreal has many fine, nay very fine shops of this sort, & this is one of them. The dough itself is as plump as a German stereotype & their glazes & icings sweeter than the sap from trees on gumdrop island. These are classic doughnuts with exciting finishes, my favourite kind. Indulge yourself, but be wary, as the gods are watching.

Best vegan donuts ever! Boston cream is my all time favorite & since going vegan never was able to have one until I came here & had the St. Denis crème! The nostalgia was REAL. The crème brûlée is amazing too! They make really great milkshakes as well. 10 out of 10 would recommend! I come here every time I visit Montreal.
Located in st denis in a walkable area with lots of other restaurants so great to grab an after meal treat. Place was cute, donuts are well presented but was expecting a bit more from the taste, they were good just not better than any other donuts chain, but if you're craving donuts & are in the area is worth a try.
