Toronto Donut FAQ
Are these donut shops ranked?
No. Every shop here is one we would happily send a friend to, so we list them by neighbourhood instead of ranking them.
Can I try several of these on one tour?
Yes. Our Toronto Donut & Sweet Treats Tour visits COPS Doughnuts, bloomer's, I Love Churros and Dipped Donuts in Kensington Market. Lineups can vary by day and season.
Where can I find vegan donuts in Toronto?
bloomer's and Machino Donuts are fully plant-based, so every donut in their cases is vegan.
