When they say they are the best, they aren't lying ! It's was clean, the lady was super nice, and the donuts were amazing. She also makes them each day so they aren't pre-made donuts. The flavors were great and actually tasted like what they were named. I had the salted caramel and can honestly say it was the best salted caramel donut and anything I have ever had, It actually had that salt to go with the sweet caramel taste. My only problem is I didnt find this place till my last day on that side of the island.
Never had a fresher donut - so delicious! Also appreciated they took my card for $2 purchase (didn’t have cash).
Best donuts and service! We got a bunch of different donuts to try, our favourite was the Reese donut, it was warm when served and delicious! The staff were very friendly and pleasant to deal with, we will definitely return when visiting again!
Such a yummy spot for “cake donuts.” My daughter loves stopping in and grabbing a treat! The atmosphere is so nostalgic and cozy. Friendly and happy staff. Highly recommend
This is a fun place, no one in our company is allowed to go to Port Alberni without stopping here. Owners are great, super friendly and the best tasting and most creative cake donuts I've ever had.
Long line up but worth it. Delicious Donuts!
Not sure what I was expecting but we didn't really care for any of the donuts we got. Price was good though.
Always a super bright and friendly interaction when I go in. Haven’t had a donut flavour I didn’t thoroughly enjoy. Super fresh and delicious, always. We buy donuts 1-2x/week and it always hits the spot!!! Highly recommend.
Awesomely tasty morsels of sweetness!
Yummy😋 although a bit too sweet for us 😉 still worth trying 🍩🍩🍩

This is 100% real good old fashion goodness the old-fashioned plane. It was the best I ever had. You just don't find donut shops like this anymore. An absolute treasure, 100% worth the stop.
Awesome donuts and service
They donut disappoint! Although I prefer a yeast doughnut like a Krispy Kreme, BUT as far as cake doughnuts go ( that's what they sell) these are ten toes down amazing! So fresh and soft, not overly sweet. Just simply delish. Happy we stopped in today and used our dozen as a sample platter to share with the family. Raves all around. The man working at the counter has outstanding customer service. FYI $10 for half a dozen $18 per dozen.quite reasonable for the quality.
EDIT: I foolishly posted this review before I tried ALL the donuts. The salted caramel donut is THE BEST donut I have ever experienced, ANYWHERE, never mind Vancouver Island.
Original review:
Stopped in after the Santa Steam Train. Donuts are tied with Coombs donuts for the best on the island, imo. Loretta and her crew of regulars are absolutely delightful, I recommend stopping by just to meet them.
Best donuts on the island for sure and very sweet women working :)
