OMGEeeeeeee! I have found the most amazing donuts ever!!! We happened by on a recent visit via…read morecruise ship to Saint John. We had to try it. Boy are we glad we did! All I can say is that I would travel here just to eat the donuts. We ordered three: Strawberry Cheesecake - Our Favorite Strawberry Shortcake Lemon Filled They all were fantastic!!! We brought them back to the cruise ship and decided to take a bite before heading to dinner and before you knew it we had devoured them all. They are light and airy. They have filling all the way through so you get the perfect taste in every bite. I had plans for the evening but my husband was considering going back into town (a fairly short distance from port) to grab us another round. If you love donuts like we do, get there quickly. I hear they sometimes sell out. How sad would that be!

The tarot cards, fortune teller, and witch posters and wall accessories plastered all over really makes the do(ugh)nut store stand out. I purchased a Skor dip doughnut and shared a Homer pink donut with a friend. While the latter was nice and made you feel like you're an obese American father of three, the Skor is what hit the sweet spot for me. One half was covered in crunchy choco-toffy decadence and it just amazing. The doughnuts are quite inexpensive (around $3.50 each and far less in a pack of 6 or 12), so I'd imagine they would make a great gift for a friend or work office. Definitely worth checking out.

We decided to stop in at Mrs. Dunster's Kitchen Retail Store to check it out and to pick up some baked goods to bring home. The "not so fancy" bakery store sells donuts, nuggets, breads, rolls, cookies, cinnamon rolls, pies, decorated cakes, muffins, tea biscuits, and other treats. Most of the baked goods are packaged and ready to go. Hot coffee to go, breakfast sandwiches, sandwiches, pizza, and homemade soups are also sold here. We purchased a bag of Molasses Donuts, a bag of Butter Garlic Cheese Buns (10), and English Muffins - Cheese (6), which came out to just under $10. We ate some Donuts during the ride, which were soft and sweet tasting. The Garlic Cheese Buns (heated in toaster) were a very good accompaniment (contains lard) with our turkey dinners. The English Muffins-Cheese also tasted very good, but did not have the typical firm & chewy texture and had more of a breadlike texture. The packaged Mrs. Dunster's Donuts & Nuggets can also be found in stores throughout Atlantic Canada and in Maine (sold at Hannaford), not far from my home.

My new favorite weekend activity is a visit to the Alderney Landing Farmer's Market for a sampling of fresh baked goods and treats. New this year to the Farmer's Market is The Doughnut Stand. Serving up a wide variety of classic and new fusion style doughnuts, The Doughnut Stand offers a delicious, fresh, and local alternative to big chain factory baked goods. They have all the classics from Boston crème, raspberry filled, apple fritter, lemon curd, and maple bacon. The Doughnut Stand also brings an exciting and changing selection of new fusion style doughnuts. So far I've seen Crème egg and mini egg doughnuts for Easter, peanut butter Captain Crunch, carrot cake doughnut, Jalapeño bacon cheddar, and chocolate cherry fritter. You won't find that extreme variety and experimentation anywhere else! Fluffy, light, airly, fresh, and full of flavour I love their doughnuts. To help beat the heat of summer The Doughnut Stand also just released a menu of homemade frozen treats. Popsicles, chocolate dipped bars, and even doughnut ice cream sandwiches filled with Dee Dee's own ice creams. Yes! You heard right, doughnut ice cream sandwiches! The Doughnut Stand is open on Saturdays for the market and other select dates they post on their Facebook pages. They're often at local events nearby or other venues spreading that doughnut-y goodness.

I get a vague sense they do have other doughnuts but I am instantly and always drawn the Maple Bacon. I mean a yeasty doughnut doused in sweet, sticky maple glaze to which crispy, salty nuggets of bacon adhere, I ask you, what else could you ever want? I may try some other flavours but my heart will always belong to the Maple Bacon.

Boldly opening up in the late fall/beginning of Canadian winter, Ol' School Donuts is a bus that's…read morebeen painted fire engine red and converted into a mobile donut dispensary. While they sadly tend to spend the bulk of their time outside of the peninsula, that has changed at least a little bit lately. It seemed to be donut destiny when they were not only in Halifax, but also parked up the street from my office and there in the evening when I'd be off at 7. I rushed home to get my girlfriend and parked near the lot behind Atlantic News where they were set up. It was encouraging to see a few people there, even though the spot's not as on the beaten path as others. Two menu boards with borders to match the bus displayed several delicious sounding options - peanut butter cup, maple bacon, strawberry shortcake, chocolate Skor, caramel pecan crunch and Boston cream being the options that day. As Boston cream is my favourite donut at a certain ubiquitous Canadian chain that par cooks their products at central bakeries before sending them to stores, I had to go for the real deal. As this is also my paramour's fave, she went with the maple bacon to give us more donut diversity. They were ready within a couple minutes, and soon we were on our way back to the car to stuff our gobs. I didn't know exactly what I was getting into, expecting a cream-filled, fist-sized donut, but what we got were baskets of 10ish mini-donuts, covered in their respective toppings. They were, however, fantastic. Fresh out of the super cool donut making contraption that they have, they're just slightly crisp on the outside and airy, but still pleasantly dense on the inside. These have most certainly not been par cooked and sitting out in the open all day. The Boston cream drizzle reminds me of the Toaster Strudel icing, but only richer and less cloying. The chocolate sauce is, well, chocolate sauce. No wheels being reinvented, but it's tasty. The maple bacon donuts are great as well, with the same little loops of fried dough wonder with a maple icing drizzle and bits of thick cut bacon on top. No bacon-flavoured soy bits here. Each basket will set you back a fiver, but think of these as the restaurant quality dessert that they are, and you'll forget both the price and whoever that Tim Horton guy is anyway.

I like the Boston cream and lemon raspberry, personally, but there's something for everybody. The donuts are fresh fried, soft pillows of dough with the slightest crisp around the edges. The toppings are sweet and decadent. I couldn't recommend any higher. Also, they are in Enfield on Thursday nights for the season.

Great Vibes & Even Better Doughnuts!…read more Vandal Doughnuts is such a cool little spot--we loved the quirky vibe and welcoming atmosphere. We tried the Crème Brûlée doughnut and it was absolutely delicious. The top had that perfect crackly candied sugar, the pastry was soft and pillowy, and the cream filling was rich and flavourful.

The staff is friendly, and the donuts are absolutely outstanding. I tried the crème brûlée and the coconut cream pie donuts, both were soft yeast donuts filled with incredible creams that delivered an explosive burst of flavor with every bite. I definitely should have ordered more. This was an unforgettable experience that has set the bar incredibly high for any donut shop I visit in the future. Vandal Donuts truly lives up to its reputation. Well done Vandal Donuts!

We love stopping at White Sail to grab a loaf of bread and one of their delicious squares…read more Today we decided to grab lunch and enjoy it on one of the picnic tables outside. It was quite expensive for what it was. For two turkey sandwiches (with no side), a loaf of bread and two squares it was almost $50! The sandwiches were mediocre. The ingredients and bread were all fine - but that's it, just fine. Definitely not worth the price - it would have been $3-$4 cheaper to get a hamburger than it was a plain turkey sandwich. It was a hit and a miss - we'll keep going back for a sweet treat but in the nicest way possible you can get a much better and cheaper lunch elsewhere.

I'd tell you about my son's burger but he inhaled it so fast I couldn't get an accurate description other than it was "10/10, would eat again." And they had ice cream! Though we were full. Others stopped by just for that. If you're on the way to Peggy's Cove or on the way back, you HAVE TO STOP HERE. Oh, we had some cherry square/bar that was great

It was served hot and had a great flavor. I added less cream than I usually do. The flavor was just right for me. I chatted with one of the employees and she was delightful.
