| - We really enjoyed ourselves here! The doughnuts really shine and speak for themselves, and when we came on a Saturday afternoon, it was the perfect snack on a cool, overcast day.
The shop itself is quite small, with a few bar stools overlooking Queen Street and a table for 2-3 people to sit at. It's a cute vintage space, and the selection of flavors is the right amount without being overwhelming.
Since we came pretty late in the day, we didn't have the full selection to choose from, but that was okay; there was still plenty to choose from. Priced at $3.50 each, we chose three flavors: lemon raspberry, coconut cream, and chocolate strawberry. Out of the three, lemon raspberry and coconut cream were the best ones. Chocolate strawberry had a good chocolate flavor and pasty texture, but the filling was a little disappointing because it was more like a jam, where we were expecting fresh strawberries that had more of a jelly-like consistency. It was too sweet as well.
As a whole, these doughnuts have an airy consistency, and we liked that. If you're more accustomed to denser doughnuts, you might not like these, so keep that in mind.
At the end of the day, I'd gladly come back again, and preferably earlier in the day so we could taste the other flavors and compare pastry consistency and texture. It certainly isn't an everyday Tim Horton's pick up and go doughnut shop because of the price, but definitely a nice occasional treat. :)
