Good old fashioned donuts great old school vibe
Delicious sandwiches
So friendly, and the best food. Amazing donuts. Love the vibe too.
Service was great! We sat and ate inside the booths were super comfy! The home fries were full of flavour and seasoned really well and we got fried egg sandwiches which were also perfect! Really pleasant experience :) iced coffee was also really good

Just stopped by with the husband for a sweet treat after I’ve passed by this place on my way home from work so many times and the donuts were delish and the staff/cashier amazing! would go here over timmies any day! 10/10
Loved the old school look reminded me of diners my mom used to take me to, so thank you, the nostolgia. Came to grab some coffee and donuts and was not expecting so many great vegan options! The coffee was good, and the donuts were great. Highly recommend!

I stumbled into this donut shop recently, seeking relief from the usual over-sweetened, frilly-cuffed establishments, where baristas ask too many questions and serve coffee that tastes like melted birthday candles. This place was different. Classic. Retro. The smell of fresh, honest coffee hit me like a freight train, reminding me why humanity hasn’t yet fallen to ruin. They don't mess around with nonsense. No "caramel drizzle" or "unicorn foam" here—just a steaming cup of the real stuff, black as midnight and just as mysterious.
The vibe? Oh, it's cool. Cooler than it has any right to be. People seem to know they’ve discovered a hidden gem, and they sit in a zen-like calm, savoring their donuts as if they were the last donuts left on Earth. The donuts themselves? Perfectly round, golden halos of dough. Simple, delicious, not burdened with excess, much like the coffee.
Check it out.

Salad was super tasty and fresh. Sandwiches egg salad was thick but needed maybe celery and a bit of salt and pepper but still very good. Donuts are large and even the next day were still on the fresh side. Overall very happy will definitely be back.

I'm always happy to try out new Breakfast Diners and I gave this one a go. I also enjoyed the donuts. They're actually seem fresh compared to Tim Hortons.
An important heads up for newcomers who are ordering Breakfast. You have to take the receipt they give you at the cash resigster and deliver it to the cooks in the far opposite room. The cooks will also ask if they can put toppings on your meal such as salt & pepper, peanut butter & jelly, and ketchup or if you want exceptions.
I'll admit I made a mistake and didn't know these were the correct instructions (I had sat down in the ordering area and thought it was like a traditional restaurant where you wait for someone to bring your food to you).
But of course now I know the proper procedure next time. As well as their breakfast menu ends at 1:45PM.

Excellent breakfasts & donuts. In an industrial area, and the long lines of tradesmen eating here says it all.

Randomly came across this on Google maps as we were on our way home after spending the day in Hamilton.
The shop itself felt like I had travelled back in time, really had that old diner feel which I appreciated.
Now for the donuts, we walked in at around 5/6pm on a Saturday so they didn’t have much variety as I assume most donuts were sold by that time of the day.
For the donuts we did try (maple dip, vanilla dip, blueberry fritter, chocolate crunch, chocolate glaze, Boston cream), I would say that these were a slightly higher quality compared to Tim Hortons donuts. I really enjoyed the Boston cream but to me, the others just didn’t taste as fresh as they ought to be.
Still, I did enjoy them and the lady behind the counter was kind enough to give us a 7th donut for free so I do appreciate the service we received.
