We don’t appear to have a thread devoted to donuts, so I thought I would start one.
We like donuts of all kinds. We like cake donuts, yeast donuts, filled donuts, and various donut-adjacent pastries: malasadas, beignets, paczkis, crullers, bomboloni, etc.
We are still mourning the loss of Von Donuts, our previous nearby go-to. However The Donuterie has since become our local favourite. A recent trip yielded two yeast-raised treats: rhubarb and vanilla custard [left] and baklava [right] with pistachios, honey, and flakes of phyllo.
A bit further afield, we have enjoyed selections from Glory Hole, including the s’mores and the passion fruit coconut. We like the flavours at Dipped, particularly the Earl Grey crème brûlée, although the dough can be a little heavier.
For restaurant donuts, we always finish with donuts at White Lily Diner (simple and classic) and Hastings Snack Bar (hefty and hearty).
And then for something a bit different, we are big fans of Isabella’s mochi donuts, particularly the matcha, Vietnamese coffee, and milktea versions.
Glory Hole and Rolling Pin are the only ones that I’ve tried, but at $6 a donut and late opening hours I won’t be rushing back to either. If I’m in DT Chinatown, Krispy Kreme always scratches my D-nut itch.
The Spadina location has tables and the donuts are fresh, the coffee is decent and it’s just up the street from Rol San and Swatow so win win I just get the OG glazed d-nuts and I can def knock back a few. Cheep and cheerful I used to love Coffee Time donuts, but they’re very few around these days. Saw one on Eglinton west, but it’s a bit of a schlep from my place, maybe when I put the car on the road again.
Better Days on Dovercourt Road only had Cherry Stick donuts available when I stopped by around 3 pm. Luckily, I love Cherry Sticks!
This donut was $3 before tax. Much lighter texture and less sweet, with less glaze, than the last Country Style Cherry Stick which I bought in the summer of 2022.
This donut still has that boxed cake taste that I associate with Cherry Sticks, which I like.
Up and out the door at 7am to grab some dnuts from Coffee Time, cause that’s what us retired geezers do on a crisp, sunny Sunday morning. I’m a long time fan of CT and used to visit the one next to Burger Shack until it was taken over by crappy Pizza Hut. Grabbed a couple of chocolate dips and apple fritters + a large coffee, all for just over $10. Best donuts in town? Nope, but a great bargain and they were really tasty. One of the last remaining CT’s in the city I believe, will return.
