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!

We liked the more dense crispy one better. - homer donut: a slight touch of strawberry and fun sprinkles! - honey glazed: can't go wrong, fluffy but not super fluffy I also tried: - the maple glazed - chocolate dip - strawberry filled - boston creme - chocolate glazed and these were good but not as memorable! Service was really nice and the vibes were so cute and aesthetic! (Yes, we had A LOT of donuts)

Whole some, old fashioned* recipe tasting with a modern take…read more.. Friends shared some of these donuts with me and they are wholesome tasting. Old fashioned to me, are donuts that taste like there is more milk and eggs in the batter. The base is very filling and more dense- almost cake batter like. Very different from the super fluffy ones that has been trending the past few years.

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!

However, after trying every. single. one of their cookies, I was so grossed out. They were old and stale and so dry they fell apart or were hard. At first I thought it was because they don't use real butter but then I found out it's because they just keep them there for ages. Like we're taking not days but WEEKS. Then there is the manner of flavour and their cookies are completely devoid of it. They're just not edible and I'm embarrassed I tried all of them but it was because I was hosting a lot of folks and wanted to give the place a shot. Can we talk about that staff for a sec? It's like they're being watched by Big Brother; they are not friendly, they will not engage in eye contact, they won't welcome you and they certainly won't answer any questions about their product. The staff behaves like the establishment is a front. Very odd. I am not sure how this place remains open.

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.

This place kinda left a bad taste in my mouth actually. I'll…read moretell you why.... Mochi Pistachio & Peanut Butter Glaze - It was Good. Cortado with Almond Milk - Terrible. - It was luke warm...if that. - Also, they charged me $1 extra for a nearly $6 coffee the size of a shot...enough said. House Brew Dark Roast Coffee - Awful. - It was cold. - Asked for a hot one.....Cold again. The couch in the corner we sat on was dusty and just not well cared for. 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.

So tasty and airy! When we went we asked for recommendations and the staff suggested the honey dip…read moresince it also was just made so it's super fresh. No regrets! It was warm and fluffy and the right amount of sweetness. Beware as other locations don't have their own kitchen so you won't get fresh donuts like the ones at Granville. There is a huge variety so it can be a bit overwhelming! I would simply just go for the classics, you can't go wrong. The wait was also fairly quick, it was less than 5 minutes for a Wednesday morning! The staff were friendly and I didn't feel too rushed.

You best believe I got another half dozen and packaged the goods in an air tight container to take back home with me to Texas so I can savor them until I come back to Vancouver. Incredible. Incredible. INCREDIBLE!! There was a line outside the shop however, don't let that change your mind. It moves fast and it's worth every minute of waiting. Trust me!

It does have a nice crispy crunch outer, but you can see how much oil there is to achieve that. But you don't eat donut looking for a healthy option - so with that in mind, my go to flavour is their chocolate Oreo.

We went on a Friday morning and the cafe was nearly full so we got the last 2 seats at the bar. She got a sandwich and I got a London fog and cinnamon knot. Her sandwich was tasty but quite pricy. Same with my items - they're all definitely on the pricier side. The knot I had was good but I wish it had a stronger cardamom taste to it instead of just cinnamon. The space is gorgeous but is always pretty busy and the staff are super kind! I would come back and try some other items.
