    Once upon a time we had these mom&pop donut shops all around town but they have been replaced by the consistent and reliable (ahem boring) chains. So when I saw this blast from the past of a diner near the bottom of the QEW bridge, the nostalgia hit me and i made a U-turn. A bit off of the main streets, in an industrial area, but still convenient to locate. We got the lemon donut, a big rectangular soft dough sprinkled with crunchy sugar and filled with a decent amount of tangy lemon jelly, kinda like pie. Also got the soft and crumbly chocolate coconut donut. Legit chocolaty! It has that deep dark choco colour. Yum! Went in around 3pm and there wasn't much selection left but we were very happy with what we got. Worth a little detour if you are in the mood for an old school donut. One star less cuz I don't think it's accessible. 2 entrances both have steps.

    I told my sister that I was so craving a delicious yummy cake or doughnut. She knew exactly where to go. The donut stop is amazing. Every single one of their donuts is gorgeous. And I understand that they make all of their donuts fresh on site. I'm looking forward to one day going in for their breakfast as I'm hearing great things about those as well.

    I came in for one doughnut, and left with 6.

    Ive passed this place a thousand times in the industrial north eastern area of Hamilton, it seems to blend in to the surrounding area. However I've only recently stepped in to have a donut and coffee. While the coffee was fresh, and the waitress was impossibly nice, the donuts put Tim Hortons to shame. The donuts are freshly baked daily, delivered between 12-1am and are always great. Looking forward to gaining a lot of weight this winter.

    I have been here twice now and the monkey bread was the star of the show on my first visit and the…read morereason I came back. Unfortunately it was not available on my second visit so I ordered the cinnamon bun muffin and the cranberry orange donut and both were incredible. The muffin reminded me so much of the monkey bread and everything about it was perfect. The donut was outstanding and that cranberry orange flavor completely blew my mind. I truly hope it becomes a regular item. I also decided to try a slice of pizza since everyone always raves about it. To be honest I went in a little skeptical because when something is overly hyped it usually disappoints me. I was very wrong. I ordered the roni supreme with whipped ricotta hot honey and pepperoni and it absolutely knocked my taste buds down. The dough was light thin and crispy and the combination of hot honey with the whipped ricotta was mind blowing. It felt like opening Pandora's box and now I am wondering how I am ever going to get my summer body back. The service was fantastic and genuinely kind and even though it was busy they kept the line moving at a great pace. I have not yet sat inside because it tends to get crowded and I like my space but the interior is cute. If you can find a quieter time to enjoy your food I would definitely recommend staying.

The staff were patient and kind. The restaurant itself is a bit small but has some seating in case you wish to dine in house. The doughnuts are quite popular, served in the morning and frequently sell out mid day so I will have to return to try the donuts. I would absolutely return for the pizza.

Duck donuts prepares their donuts to order, so you always getting a pipping fresh donut that gets glazed and topped off right in front of your eyes. We ordered a mixture of their classic and seasonal flavours: -Blueberry cheesecake -PB&J -Classic Sugared (my favourite!) -Coconut island (also my favourite) -Peach -S'mores Their flavour selection is impressive, but that's also because the donut base is the same amongst all of them, it's just the variety of toppings that changes it up. The texture of the donut is like a cake donut, BUT IT WAS SO LIGHT & FLUFFY. Pretty much will crumble and melt in your mouth! I've never had a donut texture like this! Worth a try if you're in the area :) Prepare for a decently long line up though, people generally take a while at the cash register to decide on the flavours too.

The reason is they make the donuts fresh when you order them - these are not par-baked like what the TH guys do. Duck Donuts are cake donuts - think Tiny Tom, but bigger... and oh, so many toppings! They have dozens of flavour combinations or you can make your own... dips, icings, sprinkles, even bacon! (Yes, bacon on a donut is absolutely delicious.) Of course, I have to mention the incredible staff who greet you warmly when you come in and help you choose from the slightly intimidating menu. I also love the beautiful, open, and bright space - the wall-to-ceiling windows let in lots of sun and make this an amazing place for a morning donut sandwich (yum) or a milkshake made with lots of real ice cream. They don't have online ordering at the time of this review, but I've called ahead a few times to order a "Duck Dozen" assorted box, and these make gifts for the office, or as dessert for family gatherings. They are always a big hit!

    Quite surprised not that many reviews for this amazing place!! I first encountered it pre-pandemic…read morewhile hiking at Dundas Peak (across the street-ish). I saw a huge line out of the door if this tiny house by the side of the road and we decided to pop by and so glad we did! We recently just went and they now have a drive through window. A drive through window to BUY PIEEEEEEEE and other things :) The storefront is quite small but full of goodies. They have pies, apple fritters, jam preserves, frozen savoury pies, honey, cookies, and a lot of other baked goods and what not. Pies come in small or large size. First time we bought two smalls and thought we would slowly eat one at home and share the other with friends. We thought wrong! Devoured both before we even left Burlington Hamilton area!! This time, we got two again: apple crumble and raspberry. We went around 3pm and many flavours were running low or out of stock. I highly recommend getting any of the crumble pies because the crumble is a chewy, full of texture layer on top of the pie versus a normal pie crust top. Our friends ordered different flavours so we had a nice time trying each other's by the picnic tables outside. So far my top choices are any of the crumble (apple, peach, rhubarb, and others) and then it would be the berry ones. I love a little bit of tartness! The staff are super friendly as well and always offering suggestions if you are a bit indecisive. GET THE PIES. Stop by and see and taste for yourself!!
