About The Donut Shop

The Donut Shop offers a delightful array of flavourful donuts, including maple walnut, vanilla/chocolate sprinkles, salted caramel, mint Oreo, lemon glaze, coconut lemon glaze, and even root beer float. Located by a beautiful pier, this quaint shop serves excellent donuts with perfect size, great taste, and welcoming service. Customers agree the donuts are amazing with great flavors that tasted like what they were named. The salted caramel donut is described as the best ever, with the perfect salt and sweet caramel taste. The shop is clean, and the staff are super nice, friendly, and pleasant. They also make donuts each day, so they aren't pre-made. The Reese donut was a favorite, served warm and delicious.

The Donut Shop is a must-try place right in front of the Pier in Port Alberni. They offer various donut flavors at the best prices. The shop is often busy, with most visitors buying donuts in dozens, which get packed in pizza boxes. Customers have tried almost all the available flavors during their visits. The small store has limited seating, but it has a retro-styled ambiance. The service is great as well.

Customers were initially skeptical about the claim for the best donuts, but they were amazed by the super yummy donuts, great selection, and affordable prices. The lady running the shop is praised for her amazing work. The Ukee donut and the Maple donut were outstanding with good flavor. The service was friendly and quick. Customers plan to return and try the Pumpkin Spice donut. The ambiance was nice, especially on a stormy day.

they are the best cake donuts I've ever had in my life.

Delicious!! Amazing!! I live in Ireland and every time I'm in Port Alberni a visit to the Donut Shop is a must. I go with my cousin Julie and my Great Aunt who had been a loyal customer for decades.
Sadly, weeks after a recent visit with my aunt, she peacefully passed away at the good age of 93. Instead of sending flowers, I sent donuts to my family and Abbeyfield Retirement Home where she was living.
Dave was so kind, helpful and efficient organizing the order. He...read full review

Coming from Australia we were told the donuts were the best on Vancouver Island. Well we have visited again. They are not the best on Vancouver Island…. They are the BEST IN THE WORLD!!!
