Aside from an inviting outdoor spot in town to sit down and relax, the only thing this place has going for it is the selection of baked goods. The apple fritter was probably the best thing in the menu, while honorable mention goes to the lemon loaf.

If I had some time I would've tried that. Had some of their donuts from devil donuts (?) They were about $4 each, a bit too much. We went at 4:30 so they were out of drip coffee , so we had Americanos and their coffee was smooth. Overall, great place for coffee which is about a 5 min drive to/from Ferry Terminal.

We stopped by here while driving back from the Whistler area to Vancouver…read more A friend had recommended this spot to us as a nice spot to take a driving break and refuel - and clearly a lot of other people had the same idea, as it was pretty packed! A few people had laptops and books out and appeared quite settled in at the few tables inside. There was plenty of additional seating in the outdoor patio though, so we were able to quickly grab two seats. Service was super friendly. FOOD // We got a 12oz latte and a maple walnut donut to share. The donut was delicious - so fluffy! - and the latte was also made well, balanced and a good accompaniment to the donut. If we weren't so full, I would've been tempted to get another donut... Next time!

Tasty local Korean doughnut chain. This location is located close to the water, just W of Horseshoe…read moreBay Park. 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.

What a lovely discovery in a beautiful place. We stumbled upon Goldie's during a morning…read moreexploration drive and it could not have been more perfect. The drive itself led us to an incredible bay that genuinely felt like we'd been transported to Alaska--calm, wild, and breathtaking--and then there was this cozy little gem waiting for us. Any place named after a dog and so welcoming to dogs instantly wins my heart. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, even though the place was bustling with happy locals and travelers alike. Every pastry in the case looked beautiful and tempting, making it nearly impossible to choose. The coffee, though--absolutely perfect. Smooth, balanced, and exactly what you want on a crisp morning adventure. Goldie's felt like one of those special finds you don't plan for but remember long after. If you're anywhere nearby, it's a must-stop.

A must-stop spot for anyone visiting Nanaimo! You can't go to Nanaimo without trying a classic…read moreNanaimo bar, and Red's Bakery is the perfect place to grab this iconic treat. We also picked up the banana cheesecake, and it was packed with banana flavour. It was definitely a great choice for banana lovers. Everything is ready to go and nicely packed, making it super convenient for a quick dessert stop. Service was fast and friendly. The bakery has a few tables inside, but if they are full, you can enjoy your treats outside or head across the street to the Vancouver Island Regional Library, where there are benches that make a nice little dessert break spot. A simple, convenient, and delicious stop to experience a true Nanaimo classic!

As I love desserts, I was so excited to see Chinatown and visit this place for the first time. This place was located in an area that would be best to walk with a friend or a small group- I was not quite prepared to see and experience what was going on all around. Finally, we made it there and were glad to order some doughnuts. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by the sweet smell of doughnuts and the two friendly staff. Everything looked so good, so narrowing down our pick was very hard! At the end, we ordered two flavours- Matcha and Tiramisu. The matcha doughnut was soft and the filling was light yet full of matcha flavour that one would expect, I loved every bite! My friend had the tiramisu doughnut and she said that she enjoyed the fluffy texture of the dough and the creamy filling- it felt like eating tiramisu in a doughnut form. If you love simple yet high quality ingredients, this place is the perfect place to get your sweet cravings fixed!

I could see some people balking at the $6 price, but I consider these a special treat. The location itself leaves something to be desired since it feels like it is under construction except for the pastry counter. No furniture and the floors look unfinished.

This donut shop balances indulgence with actual flavor so perfectly…read more The Chocolate Glazed is a masterclass in restraint. It has exactly the right amount of sweetness - it's rich and satisfying without being cloying or giving you that immediate sugar crash. The glaze is smooth and deep in flavor, making it an easy favorite for someone who wants an amazing treat that isn't over-the-top. A couple others that are worth trying: - Coffee Crunch: if you love a bit of texture, the crunch on top is incredible, and the coffee notes are bold enough to cut through the sweetness of the dough. It's basically a breakfast dream in donut form. - Blueberry Yogurt Mousse: this one feels almost sophisticated. The mousse is light and airy with a nice tang from the yogurt that complements the sweetness of the blueberry. It's refreshing and a great pick if you want something that feels a bit more "elevated" than a standard glazed. The dough across the board is clearly fresh and has that perfect pillowy bounce. The quality here is unbeatable. Definitely worth a visit.

Some custard and cherry filling on the inside and chocolate shavings on top. I would have liked to see less chocolate shavings and some more cherry filling inside, but otherwise it was quite good. I also liked the sprinkled donut. It wasn't too sweet and the donut itself was well done. It was soft and fluffy with a good chew. The blueberry stuffed donut was delicious. Not too sweet and the donut itself was delightful. I was so excited when I saw that they had carrot cake donut.

The donuts were soft and fresh, with plenty of flavours to choose from. Prices are quite reasonable, making it easy to pick up a few extras! The staff were friendly, patient, and helpful while I decided what to get. I appreciated that they also offer savoury options like breakfast croissants, sandwiches and coffee, if you're looking for something beyond sweets. The shop is easy to get to, with plenty of parking in the plaza. Seating is limited, but it didn't feel like an issue since most customers seem to be grabbing their orders to go. A great neighbourhood spot for fresh donuts! I'll definitely be back to try more flavours.

As much as I wanted to try several flavors, I had to tell myself to order just one because there were other desserts at the market I wanted to try. I decided to go with the Honey Dip donut. It looks like a regular glazed donut, but there was something special about it. It was really, really good. The donut was incredibly soft, and the dough had a dense, chewy texture that I really enjoyed. It reminded me of a Krispy Kreme Original Glazed donut, but bigger and less sweet. It was such a great treat, and I'm glad I finally got to try it.

Not cheap by any stretch of the imagination but that thang was damn good. Soft, fresh, and sweet. It hit exactly like a treat should after walking around the area. Customer service was nice, quick, and straightforward. I just grabbed one since I had already eaten lunch, but honestly I wanted more. I had to stop myself. If you're in the area, treat yo self!!!! Unless you're feeding an army cause really, $35 CAD for a dozen donuts is crazy.
