Check out the best donuts in Toronto below.
Glory Hole Doughnuts
Location: 1596 Queen St W
Glory Hole Doughnuts has been serving up fresh, handmade donuts since 2012. Their menu changes seasonally to utilize as many local products as possible. Donuts are available in yeast, cake, or vegan form, and this season’s flavours include hibiscus, banana hazelnut, and lemon thyme cream.
SanRemo Bakery
Location: 374 Royal York Road
This Etobicoke institution has been perfecting the art of baking for nearly fifty years. Having recently toyed with the idea of downgrading their donut selection (emphasizing quality over quantity), you can rest assured that variety will always be a top priority. While you’re there, visit the gelato bar and throw a dollop of nocciola (hazelnut) between two chocolate dips.
Emma’s Country Kitchen
Location: 810 St Clair Ave W
Emma’s is not just a popular brunch spot — it’s also known for serving up delicious baked goods, most famously their biscuits and donuts. One look at this restaurant’s Instagram account will leave you salivating for a bite.
Uncle Betty’s
Location: 2590 Yonge St
Uncle Betty’s famous donuts are made inhouse daily. This spot likes to keep it simple with classic cinnamon or powdered sugar, however, special brunch donuts are available on the weekends. Past brunch donuts have included donut ice cream sandwiches and cookies and cream donuts, just to give you an idea.
