Half way through our cold coffees I wished we had sat at a table instead. Here's some honesty... We were in the mood for a great cup of coffee with some sweets on a nice Fall day in beautiful Horseshoe Bay. Not only did it not hit the spot, but we couldn't have gotten out of there quicker. Very Disappointing. The Golden Retriever Logo was cute though.

According to the website, this chain is named after the owner's golden retriever. It sure looks happy. Parking is available in front of the building, as well as along various village side streets. The inside is nice and modern. Funky looking speaker system (it's functional) in the corner. Great view of the water. There are also a couple of outdoor tables to the E of the building. Staff are friendly and cheerful. No complaints. The doughnuts are a bit pricey but they sure are delicious. I really like "Asian" style doughnuts as they are less sweet than their western counterparts. I had the matcha cream and could definitely taste the matcha. Will be trying their other locations at some point. Recommended.

The donut itself is soft and fluffy, the filling is nice and creamy, and the crackly caramelized sugar on top gives you that classic crème brûlée experience. It's good, but for me, it wasn't quite the type of donut that all the hype made it out to be. The other flavours were enjoyable; I do wish they were a little more innovative. It feels like there's room to be a bit more creative with the menu. One other thing was how quickly they "sell out." Maybe they genuinely do, but it almost feels like they simply make a very limited quantity each day to create that sense of demand. The location also doesn't do them any favours. Parking is difficult, it's right along a busy road, and it's not exactly the kind of place you casually stop at. Overall, the donuts are good quality, especially the crème brûlée, but I personally don't think they're worth going out of your way for.

They had a…read morespecial combo for $14: bacon egg & cheese breakfast sandwich, truffle parmesan hashbrown bites and your choice of donut. I loved their breakfast sandwich with fluffy eggs. The hashbrown bites were nice and crispy. Their doughnuts all looked enticing, but I picked the wrong one. I chose creme brulee, which had a hard icing on top. It was crunchy, which did not go well with the pillowy soft doughnut. I peeled the entire top off, but enjoyed the vanilla filling. Although I didn't like this doughnut, I could tell it was freshly baked and I would return to try their other flavours. There was only 1 woman working in the cafe and she was so friendly. The interior is aesthetically pleasing and seating is comfortable. I went early on a weekday morning so I was able to find street parking, however finding parking could be challenging, especially on the weekend.

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 liked that it wasn't overly sweet. The Apple Fritter is their most popular donut. First off, the donut is absolutely massive. I had to split this into two portions before finishing it. Secondly, the apple slices inside are large, but sliced thinly, so it was easy to bite into. I would have appreciated a touch more salt in this donut to help bring out all of it's flavors. Also, it seemed like this donut was only glazed on top. I personally prefer the whole donut to be glazed. Staff were friendly and patient as I was deciding what to get.

The iced coffee was solid. I've brought a 6-pack of donuts to get togethers with coworkers or friends, and every time there's gushing over the texture and asking where they can get more. Interiors are also clean and the service has been consistently polite and attentive! Easily the most times I've revisited any donut place in this city, in a short amount of time. (As an aside, it's a shame this place appears to have suffered early review bombing because micro influencers contributed to the public misunderstanding when it would be open to the public at large. Could more have been done to clarify the opening date? I don't know, maybe; but it's not something I'm weighing into the performance of this cafe now that it's open, and it's a bummer that it's still such a heavy contributor to their rating now.)

Matcha: Authentic, vibrant green tea flavor with a perfect hint of bitterness. Tiramisu: Packed with espresso flavor and delightfully creamy. Strawberry: Fresh, bright, and fruity.

We joined the crowd on a sunny Monday afternoon, hoping to score some of the most iconic donuts in Vancouver. While the line was long, almost to the door, it flowed smoothly and quickly, allowing us to starting chomping down on the freshly baked treats a scant 10 minutes later. Honey Dip ($3.75) - This donut has a bice soft and fluffy yeast interior, not as cloud-like as some other donut shops, but a good lightness nonetheless. It'ss essentially just a normal glazed donut with a hint of honey. It's really not that strong of a flavor, either in smell or taste. (4/5) Halo Halo ($3.75) - This donut is filled with a thick mango jelly. It's thick enough that it doesn't squeeze out like some other cream-type donuts. The topping consists of an ube cream studded with plenty of toasted coconut. The cream is oily and easy to manipulate; it's soft and probably vegetable oil based rather than butter given the consistency. (4/5) Let's be realistic - Lee's Donuts was bought out and corporatized a decade ago, expanding through the Vancouver metro like crazy. I had never visited before this expansion phase began, but I can say that donuts are donuts, and fresh donuts are always delicious. Lee's is no exception.
