The Donut Factory
Laura M.

The Donut Factory If ever you're stranded at the corner of Pape & Queen Street East at four in the morning, shit faced and hungry, and willing to brave the crackheads and ruffians loitering out front, I highly recommend* The Donut Factory. This gem of an establishment has been serving the Leslieville community for 22 years strong by a happy-go-lucky Vietnamese man named Van, who likes sprinkled donuts, long walks on the beach and getting his picture taken by anyone willing to take his picture, especially if you're a girl, and you compliment him on his vast and impressive collection of Arizona Ice Teas. No joke, the man's got it all. Flavours I didn't even know existed! Rows and rows, so many pretty coloured cans. It's like an undercover Arizona Ice Tea factory disguised as a donut dive disguised as a crack den. Needless to say, I will definitely be coming back (in broad daylight). *recommendation based purely on epic ice tea selection and general pleasant demeanor of store owner.

I had the Hawaiian sprinkle donut and it was pretty good! These are not fancy donuts, more like a Tim Hortons style but fresher.

Harry and Heels California Donuts - Apple Fritter (CAD ~$5)

Harry and Heels California Donuts

5.9 km•Little Italy

The Short Version: California style donuts, big and fluffy…read more I'm a fan. The Long Version: So Harry and Heels is a donut shop inside the Fourth Man in the Fire Pizzeria. The founder is the same (he's also the founder of the Burger's Priest). Their donuts are also available at Farm Boy, even as far east as Ottawa, which is actually where I tried them (since sadly the last time I was in Toronto, was before the business was founded). I tried the Chocolate Cream Filled ($3.99) which is a big fluffy yeast donut with chocolate on top and is filled with whipped cream. It's like a round eclair, lol. The layer of chocolate was thick, which I liked. The amount of whipped cream inside was also good, not stingy. These donuts are big and substantial, yet so soft. I'm a fan. I'm looking forward to trying other flavours, likely just at Farm Boy for the near future, but hopefully at their store in Toronto in the not too distant future. Review #3 (2026)

The donuts are fantastic. They are light and fluffy. Not greasy. Fresh. The quality is top. I…read morepicked a donut and the staff told me it was a bit too ugly to sell since the frosted was a bit messy so they removed it from the case. I also saw the pizzeria that is co-located has amazing looking pizza and salads. Indoor and outdoor eating space. I definitely recommend this place.

Great for Instagram and Facebook, but that's really where it shines…read more Unfortunately, the donuts feel way overpriced for the taste and skill involved. Compared with the real artisanal donuts I have tried elsewhere, these don't feel particularly unique. I've ordered the Nutella Bomb, Crème Brûlée , Boston Cream, Strawberry Cheesecake, and the Strawberry Maritour. They all seem to use the same base donut, cut it in half, add a bit of whipped cream and fruit, then switch things up with different glazes or a sprinkle of icing sugar. The result is a lot of "same donut" with a similar texture and overall mouthfeel, just with slightly different flavors. Sadly, I would not go back, simply because when you spend $45 on six donuts, you should expect good individual uniqueness, and I have had better-made treats with far better value for the price elsewhere.

There's something tempting about donuts…read more Unholy Donuts was founded during COVID shutdowns when the dipped donut craze hit the city. At that point, its humble start was inside a midtown restaurant for dessert takeout. Fast forward to now, they have three spots across Toronto including downtown which you can't miss with its colourful baby blue & pink exterior. Inside they specialize in brioche donuts that are all dressed up in a variety of flavours ranging from Nutella bomb to pistachio to Homer's favorite raspberry lemon! On the one hand the donuts are expensive starting around $6, on the other they are quite large and eye-pleasing for a unique treat and a hefty sweet bite at that. We picked up six donuts to go after a meal. This bakeshop demonstrates the power of social media in creating buzz across the neighbourhood. I see they're now up to 24 flavours. Perfect timing and novelty wins in this donut-obsessed city. Skip it or hit it? If you're willing to shell out for treats like BBT, there's no reason not to give artisanal donuts a try at least once.

Run here ASAP! My…read morefriends and I stumbled upon this gem while exploring Toronto -- and what a find! They had just opened, and the moment we walked in, we were hit with the incredible aroma of fresh donuts. The selection was overwhelming (in the best way), and I wanted to try every single one. We started with the crème brûlée, pistachio, and Nutella donuts. I inhaled the pistachio one the second we stepped outside -- it was heavenly. We savored the other two throughout the day, and they were just as amazing. It was so good, we had to come back before closing and grabbed six more. Totally worth it. Each donut is $6.50 CAD (about $4.64 USD), and every bite is worth every cent. If you're in Toronto and love donuts, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Highly, highly recommend!

We stopped by this morning right when they opened and were immediately hit with a delicious, fresh baked good smell! There were sooo many delicious donuts to pick from! Everything was fresh... they were still making donuts in the back. We opted for a black forest cherry donut and it tasted just like the dessert! This donut was filled with a delightful chocolate cream and had all the toppings. We would certainly go again! FYI... There is no place to eat the donut inside.
