Unfortunately, Lucky's failed me not once, not twice, but thrice. I thought they were amazing when they first opened (about 10 years ago). Their donuts were always fresh and they even had beignets! But I came here three times in the last two years and all three times were underwhelming. I came in yesterday and picked up a few donuts. They're not fresh as before and so were the last two times. Their donuts are not cheap so when you pay $5 for one donut, it should taste good or at least fresh. Also, their coffee is not the best either. It is hard to find good donuts in Vancouver. With similar pricing, I will stick to Mello for now, at least they're consistent.

The donuts at Lucky's are decent overall, but not exceptional. I remember them being a bit better, but there's so many better options these days for the $4-5/donut price range in Vancouver. The only reason this gets as high a rating is that the location is a great one for studying/working, the coffee from 49th Parallel is always a good pairing, and the French Cruller is potentially the best cruller I've ever had anywhere. Must try if you haven't -- it's wonderfully moist.

I finally get to try the donuts from Lucky. I have heard lots about it but somehow our paths never crossed till recently. I bought the apple bacon fritter because bacon. Who can resist bacon? I also got the peanut butter jelly donut to go. The apple bacon fritter was more like a bread texture. I liked the chewy texture and the bacon was delicious. I barely tasted any apple in my fritter though. But the bacon and maple glaze more than made up for the tiny amount of apple bits in my fritter. The glaze did make it a sticky mess to eat. I had the peanut butter jelly the next day. It was definitely a bit harder than if you had it on the same day. I took a bite before storing in a Tupperware, so that I could tell the difference. The donut was square shaped and it was chockfull of berry jelly inside. Some sections were oozing jelly when you bit into it. Be careful not to smear your face. At $4.50 each, I think the price is fair during this time when everything is expensive. But it is not that cheap you can have it everyday. Location is shared with 49th Parallel Coffee. It is a spacious coffee shop with patio seating. Parking is available on the streets around it.

I was visiting Vancouver and was told this café was a must stop to grab some donuts. I swung by on a Saturday afternoon and found a line wrapped around the corner. Aside from the chilly weather, luckily there was no rain or anything like that so my friends and I waited roughly 10 minutes to get inside and wait there. Some donuts we ordered were Cinnamon Sugar Old Fashioned, Glazed Ring, Berry Berliner, Long John, Pistachio Ring, and Chocolate Old Fashioned. My top two favorite were Long John and Chocolate Old Fashioned - especially when it's warm (microwaved prior eating). Overall the donuts were moist and flavorful, and still good the eat the next morning - highly recommend!!

First time trying Lucky's donuts. We intended to go to Cartem's, but unfortunately their till was down. Unfortunately, Lucky's donuts can't compare with Cartem's. We tried the following donuts: 1) Vanilla - flavour was as expected but the donut itself was quite hard or dry. 2) Peanut butter and jelly - this was my favourite and probably the biggest donut on the menu. This classic combination worked well together, and the centre was bursting with jelly. 3) Tiramisu - the top of the donut was tasty -strong espresso flavour- but I wish the centre was more Tiramisu flavour and not just white cream. 4) Maple donut? - this is likely my fault for not reading the name correctly. I was unpleasantly surprised to find bacon bits inside the donut dough. Really just wanted a fluffy maple donut, but this one was also dry/hard. Maybe I'm just bitter because I couldn't get my London Fog donut from Cartem's..

For sure a step up from Timmy's If you like chewy donuts then this is for you. I won't mention my preferred donut as they ain't paying my tush donut!

Gluten free and vegan donuts for hot chocolate fest!!! They were amazing!!!
Natasha P.

The gluten friendly chocolate sprinkle donuts-yum! These are one of my favourite gluten friendly donuts in Vancouver. They're a bit on the heavier side since gluten free items are usually a bit denser, but they are so good! They're on the pricier side but almost equivalent cost to their non gluten friendly donuts. I'm glad that they started to offer a gluten friendly vanilla based cake donut, but I hope to see them offer a wider selection of gluten friendly donuts once they fully reopen from covid!

I actually haven't had Lucky's donuts in so long and I forgot how good they were. The donuts were SO FLUFFY and bouncy. The donuts are reasonably priced and are quite big as well. They have a wide variety of different flavours to choose from. Also since it's covid, they do have outdoor seating available. Pistachio Donut ($3.25): My personal favourite. If you love pistachio this is the donut for you! The donut is so fluffy and bouncy, but also not too sweet. The pistachio flavour really shines in the glaze and also there's some pistachio pieces on top that give it a nice crunch Glazed Ring ($3.25): This one was so delicious too. Again, very fluffy and bouncy. Not too sweet as well. My second favourite here. Sprinkled Ring ($3.25): My dad ate this one so I can't really give it a review but he did say it was tasty. Chocolate Old Fashioned ($3.25): My dad also ate this one He said it was really yummy too! So if you're a chocolate lover like my dad, you'll probably like this

An updated review: Two weeks ago, I ordered get the Baker's Dozen from Lucky's Doughnuts for a social distancing meetup with friends. Included in this box was Glazed Ring, Pistachio Ring, Vanilla Old Fashioned, Salted Caramel Old Fashioned, Chocolate Old Fashioned, French Crueller, and Lemon Meringue Bismarck. The clear favourites with the groupwere the Lemon Meringue Bismarck and Salted Caramel Old Fashioned doughnuts, but my favourites in this box was the Glazed Ring and Pistachio Ring. A huge bummer though was that one of the Lemon Meringue Bismarck doughnuts didn't have the Lemon Curd filling inside (see picture)! But other than that, all the doughnuts were delicious. Still one of my favourite doughnut spots in Vancouver.

The doughnuts here are good and they have a variety of flavours. They also have seasonal flavours too. I like the pistachio, earl grey and PBJ donut. They have a special of $5 for a donut and regular coffee which I like as I like their coffee. One thing that has changed here is that they turn off the wifi during the day in order for people not to sit there for hours on end. I can understand as it is to allow customers to actually come with some friends, have some coffee/tea & donut and chat for a bit. You have to remember it is a doughnut and coffee shop, not a library or study room and they don't have other food items so how many doughnuts could you possibly eat. The prices are higher but is comparable to other doughnut places like Cartems, Harmony and Honey's, etc. If you want regular doughnuts, then go to Tim Hortons, Duffins, etc.

Poonam S.

Simply amazing! Moist and decadent. I love that it's not too sweet and so worth the price. It may be pricier than other doughnuts but is totally worth it.

I love this donut place because it's super cute and delicious! We got their ornament donut along with their cheese croissant. * The ornament donut was super pretty, and colourful, the flavours were fresh and delicious! It was raspberry flavoured which tasted fresh with no artificial flavours. And their were a small slice of ginger on there as well to help enhance the raspberry flavours of the donut. I was surprised by the flavours at first but after a couple more bits it got me drooling for more. * The cheese croissant was very flaky, delicious and rich in cheese flavour. I was super happy and satisfied with the taste and texture of the croissant! I'd definitely get this again! * This place was super cute and the size of the foods are huge. Worth my money and I'd come back without a doubt. Next time I'm getting a latte with it! -------------------------

My bf and I got the Pb & J donut and pistachio ring donut. We were one person away from getting the earl grey lavender donut! We'll get it for sure the next time! Funny story but I was doing my foodie thing and taking a photo of the PB&J donut when suddenly a seagull swept down and stole half of my donut! Then a flock of seagulls charged at me to fight over the donut. Tip: don't ever take foodie pics at Granville market (at least not outside by the pier)!!! The Pb & J donut was very heavy; filled to the rim! The donut itself was very soft and delicious. The peanut butter frosting was pretty sweet but the actually peanut pieces helped lessen the sweetness. The jelly was very sour and had bits of crunchy pieces of seeds from the jam. I liked it but it was heavy so share it with someone if you don't want a food coma!! The pistachio ring was way too sweet for me. It tasted like vanilla frosting with pieces of pistachio. It was a disappointment but the dough was soft and moist. I ended up eating only the parts without frosting lol Overall I prob would come back again just to try the earl grey lavender donut as I know the rest of the donuts are very sweet! The prices are affordable!

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 was in need of a pick me up while visiting the Gastown Steam Clock and figured I'd grab a donut from Lee's which is right across the street. There is an overwhelming amount of unique flavors and all of which I would have loved to try. I opted for the matcha and German chocolate donut and wow! 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. Can't wait to come back for these donuts!

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.

We stopped by 49th Parallel Coffee in Vancouver and it was the first thing we ate after flying in…read moreearlier that morning. 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.

They have a range of filled donuts, "fancy donuts" which are iced with additional toppings, and your regular iced donuts, long johns, fritter of the day, and this cream filled pastry type. I ordered 6 various items for $21. It was all jammed in to a box that was a touch too small, and, as a result, there was some icing casualties. They accept credit card. Ol' Blue Eyes - cake donut with blueberry icing. Donut was super soft. You could taste a hint of blueberry in the icing. Raspberry lemon - also a cake donut. Very lemony, but way too sweet. I couldn't finish it. Apple fritter - nice taste and texture, but a little too cheap on the apple. The Homer - regular donut with pink icing and sprinkles. My daughter had this, so I can't comment on it. She polished off all the icing, so I assume it was good. These don't last well the next day, so eat them the same day that you buy them.
