This Mr. Puffs location ran a grand opening giveaway on Instagram, and I won the first prize - iPhone 14 Pro!! Winning aside, if you haven't tried these lokmas, you definitely should. Back in May 2020, Uber Eats said that the most popular comfort food orders across Canada was Mr. Puffs - they beat out the poutine!
The Puffs are actually loukamades, or lokmas, which are deep fried dough balls, kind of like a deep fried Timbit or Tiny Tom Donuts, but a million times better!!
So now imagine these made-to-order lokmas, with their crunchy exterior and chewy, almost mochi-like interior. It's even chewier than the mochi doughnuts. You can toss them in sugar cinnamon or have them lathered in cookies and cream or birthday cake sprinkles or chocolate hazelnut.... the possibilities are endless! I was told that there are featured/limited time offer toppings throughout the year. With each order, you can select 2 toppings of your choice. I personally like the sugar cinnamon and have the sauce packaged separately. The puffs come in boxes of 12 ($7.95), 30 ($16.95), 50 ($24.95), 65 ($38), 130 ($60), and even in a bouquet format!
Mr. Puffs also serves premium coffee made with beans from the Italian maker Illy, think cappuccino, latte, mocha. They also have fancy hot chocolates, milkshakes soft serve ice cream.
This Mr. Puffs location is in a high traffic area (Dixie & Dundas). The store is bright and clean with chic honeycomb decor on the ceiling. The owners are super nice and friendly and the staff actually looks like they enjoy working there!
With this crazy promotion going on right now until Feb. 5 - 2x 30 Puffs for $23, you need to start your car and hurry on over there! These puffs are sure to be a hit with your family, friends and coworkers!
Fun fact - these franchises all get the flour from Montreal (where Mr. Puffs originated), to ensure that every bite is the same no matter which location or province or country you bought them from! read more
