Mr. Puffs

5.0

Our Montreal friends told us these were essential. They weren't exaggerating.

Mr. Puffs sits in a heavily touristed area, which usually makes me skeptical, but locals insisted, & locals were right. The pitch is simple: this is the best part of a doughnut, crispy outside, soft & warm inside, without any of the dense filler (but I'm sure that's an option)

The menu is pleasantly overwhelming. So many drizzle & topping combinations that choosing takes a minute, & you order by the box rather than the piece. I lean savory over sweet as a rule, so I went in expecting to try one & be done. Instead I ate half the box.

My standouts were the Bueno chocolate & the plain caramel. Eaten hot & fresh, straight out of the box, they're exactly what everyone promised. Light, crisp, warm, ridiculously good.

Nobody is claiming this is health food. It's a fun food, done extremely well, & I'd absolutely eat it again. Zero regrets.
