Toronto Donut Tour FAQ

Our Toronto Donut & Sweet Treats Tour: Kensington & Queen West is a year-round walking food tour through three very different neighborhoods, with donuts, street art and stories of the communities who shaped Kensington Market. Spring brings maple and butter tart flavors, about as Canadian as a donut gets.

Our Toronto Donut & Sweet Treats Tour: Kensington & Queen West visits some of the city's most-loved donut spots: COPS Doughnuts, Bloomer's, and in Kensington Market, fresh churros at Pancho's Bakery or mochi donuts at Marry Me Mochi, finishing at Dipped Donuts. Lineup may vary depending on the day of the week or the season. Along the way you'll walk through Queen West, explore the colorful murals of Graffiti Alley, and wander the lively streets of Kensington Market.

Every stop has its fans, and every tour brings out new favorites. Guests love the weekly specialty glazes at COPS, the pistachio cream and fruit-forward flavors at Bloomer's, the warm churros at Pancho's Bakery, the colorful mochi donuts at Marry Me Mochi, and the brown butter sea salt at Dipped.

Our bakery partners love to get creative, so the lineup changes throughout the year. Flavors vary by day and season, but here are a few guest favorites. Fall favorites include pumpkin pie, apple pie and carrot cheesecake. Spring favorites include maple and butter tart. Summer favorites include strawberry shortcake, raspberry cheesecake and pistachio cream. All year long, guests enjoy brown butter sea salt and COPS's glaze of the week.
