    Been many years since I was last in Duffins Donuts despite pretty much driving by it most days. It is located on the corner of 41st Ave and Knight Street. Very busy intersection and they have free parking which is a huge plus. The interior is very dated and happy they have booths as a seating option. I had tried their fried chicken previously and it was quite good. This time it was donut and tea time. I liked their selection of donuts and I opted for the maple glazed chocolate donut with nuts. It has been a while since I had any donut, and I liked the taste and presentation of the donut. I was a positive food experience and I may return to sample their other foods.

    Taro slush, 3 piece fried chicken, donuts

    The most iconic spot in Vancouver. If you haven't heard or been here, you are living under a rock. I appreciate the owner in letting me bring my setup: The vibes that day were great. Had to bring my PlayStation 5 and cook some kids in NBA 2k26. Can't sleep on the food I got. Fried chicken with love, taro slush (50% sugar on a diet ) and the donuts‍ everything just put me to bed afterwards

    We love Duffin donuts! They make amazing torta sandwiches and fried chicken. My go to is the Machaca sandwich and my daughter always gets the teriyaki chicken. Their donuts are super popular and my kiddo loves the powder raspberry. They also have a full selection of Jaritos soda and our favorite is Cola Champagne! It tastes like a cream soda but better. Prices are awesome and staff are friendly.

    Iced coffee, teriyaki chicken, chorizo egg, small coffee = 18$

    Best value in Vancouver. 2 sandwiches, 2 coffees, less then 20$! If you want a delicious budget breakfast lunch supper or 2 am snack this is your place. Do not judge the looks, this place is legendary. Donuts, coffee, bubble tea, all day sandwiches and fried chicken and even chinese food. All super affordable and amazing service.

    Chicken Tamales $3.75 for 1 or $6.50 for 2

    Like many others have mentioned, Duffin's Donuts is the OG in the neighborhood. The name says donuts, but they have many other items such as fried chicken, Mexican tortas, Vietnamese subs and tamales. You can find the tamales in the fridge. The sandwiches are made to order on the grill and probably not favorite item. The tamales are my second favorite to take home and eat whenever you feel like. They have both beef and chicken. Funny enough the donuts are only a bit above average to me, but I still appreciate the different flavors. The place is a little dirty so it could use a good deep clean. It's 24 hours on the weekend but opened till midnight on the weekdays.

    Duffins Donuts is an East Van classic that has everything you can imagine. From donuts, viet subs, fried chicken, fries as well as a variety of drinks! We got the old fashion, apple fritter and double chocolate donuts. If you want to try something other than donuts I highly recommend any of their tortas or fried chicken! Just make sure to bring cash or a debit card because I am pretty sure they do not take credit! This place also used to be 24/7 but I think it now closes around midnight.

    No credit cards :(

    I always feel like "ah I want to eat fried chicken but don't need fries. It's just rip off side dish and I wish I could order without fries." This Duffin gave me the opportunity and I'm so glad to find it. I ordered four spicy fried chicken and all came from different parts of chicken. I think that's a great idea, and the price is very affordable, $11ish Spicy fried chicken is not that hot. Maybe salty spice rather than heat. So tasty.

    Certified classic! This place has been here for decades and it's still pumping out all kinds of food at affordable prices and high quality! Everyone loves the donuts and the chicken of course -- donuts are probably the best of the no-frills type for the price in the city, and the chicken reminds me of the guilty pleasure gas station chicken, but of a quality that is a tier or two better (always get spicy!). My personal favorite however has to be the hot dogs. They have hiked a bit in price but they're huge, deliciously hot (toasted bun!), and come with all the classic toppings if you ask for it. The sandwiches are great too, I just don't think they're as "worth it" as the hot dog. The old diner-style interior could be a turn off for some people, but it is clean and the service is ALWAYS top notch, no matter the hour.

    Always drove by but never made it in until yesterday when we had a donut craving & were in the neighbourhood. They have a wide variety of donut flavours & they're cheap (under $2 each) but understandably quite small. Taste-wise, I'd say they're slightly above average. I liked the twisty old fashioned one & the ube one. They're sweet, but not crazy sweet, which is good for me. Lines can get long but they're pretty fast-moving. The place is open 24hrs on weekends & till midnight on weekdays, so it's convenient to satisfy a late-night sugar craving!

    I actually ate my donut before taking a picture of it so sorry guys! Apple fritters here are my fave though! So delicious! This is my first time being back here since the whole covid situation and the hours being all different. But damn the fried chicken is just as delicious as i've always remembered. I tried the wing for the first time since i went with a 4 piece! Spicy is actually not even that spicy. So don't shy away for all you people who get intimidated by spice. I additionally tried their pork veggie spring roll for the first time ... i'm not sure if it's because of the time i went but the roll wasn't that crunchy. Texture wise i'd give it a 3/5 .. taste was probably a 2.5 .. I probably wouldn't get the spring roll again. Ambiance was lively and bumpin because it was a weekend and it's always busy from what i remembered. This place i forgot to mention only takes debit and cash. Also the parking lot is quite hectic so if you're not someone who is good with parking lots, maybe park down the street or something. Service is This place has good subs sandwiches too which i didn't get a picture of as i didn't order it this time. There is a seating area if you feel like eating there. Definitely a budget friendly date place .. they do take orders over the phone too if you prefer that method.

    I was surprised I didn't yelp Duffin's Donut before. I used to live on Main Street growing up and before Timmy's, Duffin's is the place to get donuts. Yes their first location was on Main and 33rd. I remember my mom and I would walk over there. It would be a treat for my parents to take me to Duffin's. Back then their donuts were not cheap and they were so popular. Now when I look at their prices, their donuts are not that expensive. There would always be long line up outside at the old location. Unfortunately, more and more donut places opened up, Duffin's is no longer the same. I am not sure if my taste bud changed or their recipe changed or maybe fengshui, the donuts seem to taste a bit different than when I had it as a kid. I find their donuts not very fluffy. They are very generous in the fillings inside. Now Duffin's no longer just sells donut. They have hot food such as Chinese food and Fried chicken. I heard from friends now they also sells Vietnamese food too. I am guessing business isn't as great as it used to be due to the many competitions.

    Thai tea

    I wasn't impressed with the fried chicken when I first tried it. The spring rolls were ok. My friend liked the Thai milk tea here. Then I decided to try the fried chicken again as other friends kept raving about it. This time the fried chicken was really good! I realized you need to get a fresh batch or at least warm fried chicken here. That makes a huge difference. Juicy meat and crispy skin. Delicious! I had a simple honey dip donut and it was not bad. A bit soft but not of the fluffy softness. At least it was not hard or dry. It is no longer 24 hours but it does close late at midnight on weekend (Friday and Saturday). Parking is available in the lot though it is quite tiny with tight spots.

    https://www.instagram.com/vanleo.eatsfood1015/ After dinner sweet tooth brought along another treat trip - this time to Duffin's - I Didn't get a picture of the menu , but they have tons of additional goodies to offer aside from these donuts - I found the vibes to be super old school - and the line-up felt like a cafeteria lineup and you were getting ready to grab a tray and get ladles of food put onto it - Anyways personally find the donuts to be overhyped and pretty average - well the ones we had anyways - old fashioned was great for the first 2 bites, then your mouth quickly just gets overwhelmed with sugar , and you will want to put it down to have a drink of coffee! On the coffee note : I think there Fusuro Hot chocolate and French vanilla is super delicious - Anyhow, might go back to try other menu offerings - but in terms of donuts, probably not worth a drive as there is a Tims down the block -

Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!

I had no idea Canada was known for donuts but I can now understand why. The donuts are super light and airy which I prefer. The reason I don't care for donuts at least in the US is because they're always so dense but it was the complete opposite here. The donuts at Lee's also had a nice crispiness on the outside which added a nice texture. They are also not overly sweet and had great flavor! I especially love the location of this shop because you can do some souvenir shopping on this street and get your pictures of the steam clock. Had I known about this place earlier in my trip I would have loved to come back a second time but at least now I know for the next time that I visit Vancouver.

Knowing how good 49th Parallel is with coffee I thought I'd try their version of the London Fog. I wasn't disappointed. In fact it was best London Fog I've ever had. I've had them at other places but I've never seen a preparation like 49th. They use loose leaf Earl Gray tea in a tall paper tea bag. They put the bag in your cup pour the steamed milk in and the tea steeps right into the milk. It's the smoothest London Fog I've had and isn't cloyingly sweet like many I've had.

I was in need of a snack and this was a short walk from our hotel. 49th Parallel is well known for their thoughtfully sourced, house-roasted coffees and their cult-favorite donuts, but they also offer a small menu of sandwiches if you're looking for something more filling. It wasn't too busy when we got there, though most of the tables were taken. We ordered a mix of sweet and savory: the chestnut brûlée donut, a salted caramel old fashioned, and a couple of breakfast sandwiches--the Doug and the Cascadia--both served on soft, buttery brioche buns. My other half also grabbed an Americano to go with it all. The chestnut brûlée donut was my fav of the bunch. The chestnut flavor was perfectly balanced--nice and light. The sandwiches were also good, especially thanks to that pillowy soft brioche. Overall, 49th Parallel was the perfect stop for a small, simple snack! Would recommend.
