The donuts are crunchy on the outside but pillow-y soft on the inside. They have different flavours - my favorites are the chocolate with sprinkles and the orange with sprinkles. They're super affordable but only take cash.
Be sure to go there early to get the selection. They get busy and sold out the later you go. They have some parking out front but is usually taken, street parking is your other option. They have been around this location forever and they are a legend. Small shop but full of history.
Donut place near Upper Lonsdale that doesn't break the wallet. The donuts taste homemade. Amazing. There are so many flavours. Something for everybody. The donuts are so pretty and colourful. They almost look like something out of a cartoon. The donuts are of the denser cake variety. Quite heavy. Honestly I'm surprised they're so inexpensive. They only cost a bit more than Tim Hortons (and are quite a bit tastier), and are way cheaper than other places such as Cartems. Highly recommended.
Utterly delicious donuts! I can't believe it took me so long to know about this place and then finally making the trek to try it. First off, it can be hard to find this place even though it is right on Lonsdale. It is a "blink and you will miss it" situation when driving. Look for Starbucks instead, it is right next to it. Lonsdale and Queens or 29. There are two tiny parking spots out front but it is best to park at the rear or on side street. It is a grab and go place since only ONE customer is allowed in at a time. There is no menu. The prices are posted on the door. The donuts are actually displayed at the side of the entrance door but I never noticed till I got in and got confused. The owner (?) or shop staff was very helpful when I mentioned it was my first visit and asked for recommendations. I decided to try one each of the flavors available. 6 for $7, I think that is cheaper than Tim hortons? Definitely taste better. The donuts are the old school type. More cake like rather than the brioche or bready type. Not the soft like air Krispy Kreme type. They are so good. Fluffy inside like a cake but with a light crisp outside. The frosting is thin with your choice of topping (nuts, coconut, sprinkles) or plain. They are small, but that means I can have two in one sitting without feeling too full. They did get a bit soft the next day and I kept them in an airtight container. Solution? Eat them all on the day you bought. I will definitely be back to try the non fancy donuts. Regular plain and cinnamon I think.
I lined up for about 10min on a weekend Came in and the ladies were not very friendly nor welcoming I mentioned it was my first time checking them out and asked what they have. The staff pointed to the try and said 'whatever is on the tray' So I found the tiny sign (menu) near the cashier and just picked the one with almonds and one with peanut The staff weren't very helpful. The donuts were fresh from the fryer and pretty well priced. They don't taste super special so I'm not in a huge hurry to come back either.
Harmony donuts is a hole in the wall donut shop located near Lonsdale. It's easy to miss but they have a huge sign outside now so you'll know where to turn in. The shop interior is small so it isn't a place that you can sit down and have your donuts but the line is pretty quick. They have an assortment of donuts to choose from in the window but they aren't labeled so you'll have to ask if you want to know flavour details. Each donut is super fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. They remind me of the little donuts that they sell at carnivals but bigger! My favourite was the cinnamon sugar with the perfect dusting on the outside but of course you can't go wrong with sprinkled either
Popped by this place after driving past a few times and we're so glad we did! Some of freshest donuts I've had in a while. The place looks a bit like a dive, though I'm sure during a non pandemic it would be a charming spot for a bite. The donuts have a slight crisp to it and come in a variety of colorful toppings, making it a fun treat to bring home. It's worth noting they only take cash or debit and with everything going on, the limit is one customer inside at a time. The prices are the cheapest I've come across in recent years! $5.50 for a half dozen iced or $4.50 for plain. This will definitely be my go to when bringing treats to a gathering, though under the current circumstances that might just be my kitchen with the family!
I found this donut shop on of course Yelp. I read the previous reviews and immediately decided we must go there. Nothing could have prepared me to what I what I walked in on. Every review seemed to neglect that not only was I walking into a place that makes donuts but a time capsule for all things vintage. The walls are covered with old school hot wheels cars still in their original packaging, the ceiling has posters of Marilyn Monroe, an ancient Vespa scooter in the shop. As my boyfriend describes it as an, "eclectic mix of curios of Knick knacks and such." It's truly a sight to see. On the donuts: There are two lovely women running the shop. One makes the donuts using a mini small donut machine. From the looks very time consuming and a lot of work. They aware constantly churning them out. I feel there is never a time when you could not get a warm hot donut like we did - the turnover is high. Costs $5.50 for half a dozen which I think is more than fair. The donuts are light and airy, crisp on the outside. There seems to be an over abundance of donuts with sprinkles but you can get them with almonds, glazed maple, glazed chocolate etc. Parking there can be a little on the difficult side. There are a few spots right out front of the shop. I must point out if you blink you'll miss the shop it's tiny and a little hard to see from the street. If in North Van and I'm craving a donut I'd definitely go there again.
No frills donut shop in North Vancouver. Great value for what you pay. Can be a bit hard to find when going there for the first time.
These donuts look delightful- the box is a sprinkled explosion of colour. Even though the donut bases here are all plain cake donuts, the icing is flavourful enough to make each donut stand out. My personal favourites were the orange and lemon ones. The strawberry one tasted a little bit too artificial for me but others might like it. The outside is crispier and the inside is fluffier than other donuts that I have tried, so overall I enjoyed them. They go very well with a hot cup of tea or coffee. Another thing is that they are not greasy at all, which I like a lot.

One more north van spot that if you grew up here you know for sure and if not you probably have no idea. Harmony donuts is an absolute north van staple and has been for 30 odd years. I'll go on record sayig these are the best donuts in BC hands down! If you go early enough you can pick up a dozen for 15$ and they will still be hot. The cake base is nothing short of magical and then choose your toppers as you wish. My personal favourite is the pink with sprinklers. Store owners are delightful and the shop is filled with what I'm sure is a small fortune of collectibles and figurines from all ages. Give them a go if you haven't yet! Mange! read more
As part of our donut crawl, we stopped at Harmony. It was definitely hidden if you aren't looking out for it as it's hidden next to Starbucks. The place is small, with one lady making donuts, another at the register. No seating available. Now to the donuts, we got one peanut maple donut to try and a dozen for home. We also got plain and cinnamon sugar. We were able to package them in air tight containers and take them home to Texas. The maple peanut was a delicious donut however I don't know if I'd say it's number one. It wasn't anything special to me--same with the other donuts. They're small but good to split if you just want a taste. I think there are definitely better in Vancouver but nonetheless, I'm glad we tried it! read more

We've been customers for over forty years (!). Their cake doughnuts are both crisp and colourful. My five and eleven-year-olds love them! Just be aware that Harmony only takes cash. read more

If you want some fresh, soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, NOT at all greasy cake donuts.... THIS. IS. THE. PLACE. The owner was such a lovely man. He helped me pick out my half dozen, because I genuinely couldn't decide. I think my faves were the strawberry sprinkle and cinnamon sugar. Please swing by the shop if you're in the Lonsdale area, you won't be sorry! read more

Best donut base, mediocre toppings. What sets their donuts apart is their divine duality of texture. The crispy exterior creates a stark contrast that works in symphony with a velvety soft interior. The toppings include various medium thick-sized glazes that taste like Halloween candy. read more

Harmony Donuts is definitely the best kept secret in Upper Lonsdale. Pretty neon coloured and sprinkled donuts that are deliciously warm. So sweet that having two made my teeth hurt but they aren't big so you need two. Fresh and good and a funky atmosphere that is like the basement of a toy collector. Cash only. read more

BEST DONUTS I've had in Vancouver so far - and I've tried my fair share of them! It may have been so good since my first visit there was not long after the donuts were made (still fresh ooey gooey and warm). In any case, I was VERY impressed! Atmosphere: It was tricky trying to find this place since it was a bit hidden and even when we entered, we weren't sure if we were in the right place! At first we thought we were in an antique shop.. but once you turn right, you see the donut deliciousness. It's a small store. Service: Great! The lady who helped us was very nice and explained the donuts - ie the base donut flavours and that the unique flavours of each donut came from the toppings/ icings added. I was also shocked at how inexpensive the donuts were - about $1.25 (WAY cheaper than the $3-4 donuts I'm used to for not as great quality food that you'd get at the other popular donut places in Vancouver). Food: YUMMMMM! I got the chocolate coconut, my partner got the vanilla with maple glaze. It was soft on the inside, with a crunchy exterior, but the topping MADE the donut. I liked that it wasn't super sweet but still had a decadence about it. I wish this place wasn't soo far away, tucked in North Van. But I'll be making more trips out there just for Harmony! read more

Probably my favourite donuts in BC! Second to "Honey Doughnuts" in Deep Cove. This tiny and cute shop bakes fresh cake donuts weekly and the donuts stay fresh with a bit of crisp for hours. The price ain't that bad either! And the flavours are just yum! Must try the lemon and coconut flavours! read more
