I had to go back after the amazing treat we had from Yelp Ottawa & Maverick's donuts…read more The lady behind the counter was very friendly. I ordered their oreo's donuts which was a super yum! Me & my daughters enjoyed it very much I paid $12.71 for 3 donuts. Free parking available.

Haven't been inside one of Maverick's donut shops (yet!), but had to review as they supplied guests…read moreat the CHEO For The Kids Gala with donuts last night. The donut was so fresh and incredibly yummy. I have no idea what was used to make the circle logo on the donut but it was so soft and creamy. It made me think of the inside of a marshmallow, minus being sticky. The woman I walked out of the Gala with did not want her donut (to my benefit). So I was able to eat one on my drive home last night and split the second one in half for my children who happily devoured it this morning. My oldest even mentioned how great it was without prompting. Any local business that supports CHEO is always something I want to support. Definitely recommend Maverick's and will be stopping by their shop with the family this weekend to indulge.

I've tried Cinnaholic twice now, but even though I want to love it, I feel lukewarm…read more The ambiance is not there, between the lighting, crowded seating area, and bathroom (needed to be restocked). At the counter, I found some cool-looking seasonal offerings but none had any descriptions. When I asked for more information, I did get most of their names and a rundown of their toppings. But I wish the signage had been there in the first place. Even looking past these aspects of the experience, I just haven't been impressed with the actual cinnamon buns. They come in an awkwardly small box, and the plastic silverware on premise is far too flimsy to be used effectively. Eating a cinnamon bun should be the best part, but struggling to eat it really sours the experience for me. And then it didn't even taste very good. I think I won't try it again.

They have so many delicious options to choose from yet I always go for the orange/chocolate mix and any with the fruits , it gives you a fresh taste with the sweetness.

Offers both savoury and sweet croffles with assorted flavours. Cinnanmon and sugar croffle - The closest to a plain croffle. A good blend of flavours. The croffle itself was pretty good. Buttery, a light crunch, not fluffy. I think I still prefer a traditIonal waffle. Nice to try.

I introduced my friend to this cafe as he never been here before and he loved the place. The area…read moreis quite busy but that didn't stop us from having to wait too long in line to order. The area is clean as there wasn't any mess on the table or the bathroom. It was hard for us to choose what to order as there was many options to picked. There is different style of pastry, croissant, macaroons, cake, bread, ice or hot drinks and etc.

Cute little cafe with lots of pastries and savoury goods as well. We came here for the drinks and…read morewas a bit overwhelmed with how good the pastries looked (didn't know which one to try!) Ended up getting the pistachio and Dubai chocolate croissant. As for the drinks, we got the matcha and the Hojicha with espresso shots. They serve coffee from Hatch (which is probably one of my favourite back in Toronto). Unfortunately, we didn't get to try the croissants fresh but they were still tasted buttery and flakey. The flavour and sweetness was the right amount (perfect for my Asian tastebuds). The drinks were also really good! It was pretty busy inside but there's plenty of seating (might not be great if you want to chill and study but great for hanging out with friends). Service was good, staff is friendly and our order was made fairly quickly. I would come back and try other things on their menu if I'm ever around the area.

Located in the Byward Market this charming little dessert shop specializes in croffles (croissant +…read morewaffle hybrid). This was my first time having a croffle, but as a croissant lover, I definitely enjoyed this more than a regular waffle since it had that flaky texture of a croissant. The croffles were a treat to have, and made fresh after you place your order so it's still warm when it gets served. There are a number of flavors/toppings to choose from, and a few simple drink options (water, tea, coffee, pop) . We ordered the Strawberry and Buenos flavours. The person behind the counter was friendly, and the interior was quite cute with its black tables and chairs, and pink walls.

The Hubby brought me home a Nutella croffle and it was DELICIOUS. I've never had anything like this…read morebefore. The bottom was crispy and caramelized with tons of Nutella drizzled on top. When he showed me what he got me, I put my nose up to it and said "just a waffle" This is not just a waffle , it's croissant pastry baked in a waffle iron, which takes it to a whole other level in the dessert game. By the time I devoured it, it was cold, but I think I prefer it this way. Def going to make a stop in when I'm in the area.

Omg! The cronuts here are delicious! I had a cronut from Holey Confections for the first time at…read morethe location in Stittsville. And while it was good, it wasn't soooo delicious. It had multiple layers, but they weren't fluffy and moist like at the Orleans location. The ironic thing is that at the Stittsville location, I bought it mid-day and paid full price. The cronuts I had at the Orleans location were part of the end of day sale, yet they tasted fresher than the ones in Stittsville. So my brother heard that the Orleans location had an end of day sale where after 4:30pm they sell off the remainder of their cronuts for $25 a half dozen. The donuts are $5.80 each regularly. When he arrived at 4:30pm he found out the sale actually starts at 4pm, but it was ok because they still had donuts left. He got a PB&J (Peanut butter and jelly), Raspberry Lemon, Cinnamon Sugar (they call it Sinnerman), Sprinkles, PS no L (Pumpkin Spice no Latte) and Vanilla (they call it Anastasia, which I initially thought was strange, but I think it might be a reference to 50 Shades of Grey, which I never read nor watched but have heard more than enough about it from my friends, lol). The PB&J, Raspberry Lemon and PS no L are all cream filled. The other ones don't have any filling. I had a quarter of each of the filled ones and they were fantastic. My favourite was the Raspberry Lemon one. I loved the tart lemon curd filling. I didn't try the non-filled ones. Cronuts are part croissant and part donut and all delicious, lol. I definitely recommend this Orleans location of Holey Confections. Since my brother bought them, I can't comment on service or ambiance, but I know they are located in a strip mall and there is free parking on site. (2)

Holey Confections does it again! This time I ordered two boxes--one for the office and one for my…read morefamily--and let's just say, both were a massive hit. At work, the donuts disappeared within minutes. My coworkers couldn't stop talking about them. A few even admitted they're switching allegiances from SuzyQ to Holey Confections. That's a major WIN. As for us at home... well, we've been converted for a while now. This just confirmed it all over again. From the insanely flaky layers to the unique flavours that hit every sweet spot, these donuts are on a whole other level. Once again, Holey Confections proves why they're the GOAT of donuts.

I finally got to try a 140 layer donut at Holey Confections!! Picked up the S'mores Please donut…read more($5.85) and while it was good, I found the price tag a bit hefty. The layers look really cool. It's more of a cronut. The donut/cronut I got wasn't cream filled, it just had a chocolate glaze with graham cracker dust sprinkled on top and a marshmallow cut in half on the top drizzled with caramel. I would have liked it more if there was a generous dollop of marshmallow fluff on top or something like that. It didn't taste particularly S'mores-like to me. I'm glad I tried it, but it's a bit too spendy for me personally. However, if you have the funds and like cronuts, I would recommend Holey Confections. Staff were friendly and efficient. The donut shop is co-located with Honey Cafe. There is seating inside and a few picnic tables out front. There are 2 parking spots in front of the shop/cafe where you can park for free in their private lot. I was lucky to snag one, but if they are occupied, it's street parking only.
