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

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)

Ordered: Apple Fritter (CAD ~$5)…read more Aya's take: Located inside the pizzeria, Harry & Heels is cranking out California-style donuts. As someone who lived in California for 4 years, I will say these are better than the donuts I had there. We only tried the Apple Fritter which isn't usually my go-to but I'm very glad we tried it. It's crisp and sweet on the outside yet unbelievably soft and fluffy on the inside! The apple flavor is mild and could be a bit more pronounced, in my opinion. It's super airy and less dense than I expected which made this so easy to inhale. It didn't even make it out the door! Super friendly staff and tasty donuts!

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.

Food 5/5 Service 5/5…read moreAmbiance 4/5 Food: This place has drinks too but I only come for the mochi donuts. LOL. I love Isabella's donuts. The flavours change every week. Though they do have the standard flavours which they keep. Service: There is usually two people working here to fulfill the orders. Usually a guy and a girl. They have both been friendly & nice to me. Is it because I'm a repeat customer? LOL. Maybe. Anyway I think if you're nice to people you will get the same back. Ambiance: This is a small location so there isn't much ambiance to the place. It's meant as a place to pick up the food & go. Still, the location serves its purpose & it always looks clean & neat. I keep coming back because I'm addicted to mochi donuts. LOL

Im ususlly not a big fan of mochi/donuts or sweets - BUT YOU GOTTA TRY THEIR DONUTS! I almost…read moreforgot to snap a photo because its that good!!! We picked up a matcha cream filled donut & an ube cream w.fresh strawberry donut. They remind me of a Krispy Kreme but way way way less sugar. These are so soft, fluffy, and a very generous cream filling! We are excited and cant wait to try the rest of their delicious goods! Almost forgot we got an iced Pink Drink - its their homemade dragonfruit syrup, peach tea, sparkling water & a lychee fruit! Refreshing but let the ice melt a little to dial down that sweetness level. Thank you Isabella's Union Station team!

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.
