Was excited to try this place out after seeing it on tiktok. Was disappointed when I opened my box of donuts and realized I received the incorrect item. Asked for the ube donut and instead got a blueberry. Hopefully when i come back I can what I actually ordered.

I bought 6 different doughnuts to take them to the brunch I was unbited to and everybody eas asking where did I get them... unfortunately I fid not take pictures before people 'attacked' the doughnuts. They were as good as they looked ig not better đ€Ł... Cinnamon won my tasting comparison...

kept seeing this place everywhere on my feed but the donuts were mediocre. definitely cool ideas and they look amazing but it was overpriced and overhyped. not to mentioned when we went, werenât even greeted and the girl helping us seemed like she had an attitude. i work in the service industry as well and i understand being tired, annoyed, etc but we were nothing but kind and patient. we knew exactly what we wanted and she gave us such an attitude like we were inconveniencing her. i thought i was reading into the 2 minute interaction until we left and my boyfriend said she seemed miserable. not to mention we were the only customers there at the time so there was no rush. no greet, no smile, no patience, no understanding. that entire thing was unnecessary and if weâre paying $4-$5 for donuts i would hope for some decent customer service

These donuts were delicious!!!! I was so happy to be able to enjoy fun flavours while also being vegan!
I keep seeing Machino's Ube Creme Brulee in social media saying that it's the best donut in the city. So I have to find out if this is true. And since I love anything ube, I was excited to come here and try it.
Let me tell you that the donuts here didn't blew me away, nothing special about them.
Overall the donuts tasted dry and dense like bread. The fillings/icing/toppings were unpleasantly sweet and some have underwhelming flavour. I've tasted other vegan donuts and it doesn't even come anywhere close to Machino.
I have to try these donuts to see what's the hype about them:
Ube Creme Brulee Utter disappointment is what I felt upon taking my first bite of the Ube Creme Brulee donut. There is no way you can taste the ube in this donut! Artificial ube flavouring/color - a big YES, real purple ube flavour - resounding NO. Trust me I know, since I grew up eating ube and can distinguish the real taste of fresh ube vs artificial ube flavour.
This donut also has a description saying ube custard but doesn't even taste like one since the filling has a thinner consistency.
Classic Apple Fritter They said this donut is very popular and everyone's favourite. But I beg to differ since this is my least favourite donut. The donut has a sweet and salty flavour combination that makes the pairing less successful. It borders more on excessive saltiness that overwhelms the delicate sweet flavour of the donut.
The apples in the donut were very limited and lacking the flavour you normally find in an apple fritter.
Devil's Chocolate Before buying this donut, I asked the cashier if this is dark chocolate and she said yes. Shouldn't have listened to her coz this is one of the worst donuts I have tasted and there's no way this is made with dark chocolate.
The combination of the cocoa glaze topping plus the chocolate cake crumbs and chocolate ganache is the worst flavour combination ever! It's nauseatingly sweet and I didn't even enjoy it.
I don't even see any positive thing about this place. The store is small, it's just a takeaway place and designed for customers to grab their donuts/drinks and go. I was even planning to buy coffee but quickly changed my mind when I saw nowhere to seat and enjoy the food.
Service was abysmal. The Asian cashier was so unfriendly and no one is manning the front of the store. I have to wait for a while coz the staff were missing in action. After helping me, she took off again to God knows where. Another customer walks in and has to wait just like me before the cashier came in front to get her order.
Way overpriced for a low quality donut.
They take cash but don't accept $50 bill which is disappointing coz there's no sign anywhere in the store that says they don't accept large bills.
This further cemented the fact that you should never trust influencers and be cautious of their recommendations solely because of their biased opinions.
There's so many donut places to try in Toronto and I'm not giving this place a second chance after having a less than stellar experience.

These are some of the best donuts my wife and I have ever eaten. The Ferrero Roche, the devils chocolate, the dulche are all excellent. Bring the Dubai chocolate one back, please! đ Highly recommend this place.
Tight space but the donuts are tighter. I loved the raspberry pistachio, one of the best vegan donuts I've ever hadâgreat texture and flavour to match! I would like to try the coffee without the syrup, for the coffees we got with syrup were not so much a hit as the donuts.

Much smaller space than I was expecting, but it is Toronto lol
Was really happy with the wide variety there is to choose from. I bought 6 donuts. Unfortunately I didnât pay close enough attention and the person picking my donuts gave me the wrong one, so Iâll only post my review of the donuts I choose.
You can tell that these are very high quality donuts. I shared with my mom and sisters and they loved them. Wish I could have tried the French Toast donut but I was given London Fog instead.. I didnât eat that one though Iâm sure it was high quality too.
The only complaint would be that thereâs not enough caramel flavour in the Biscoff caramel donut. That was the one I was most anticipating.
Also I bought a passion fruit lemonade. That was an 11/10 lemonade!! I love lemonade and too often itâs never sweet enough. This one was very sweet and to my liking; I didnât even have to stir or shake it before drinking. Would honestly go back for the lemonade alone.
Also donuts were eaten too quickly for me to take a proper photo lol
This has gotta be the goat of toronto donuts and dare i say.....possibly the world?
Cream filled, traditional, fritters and cinnamon rolls. With a constant rotation of specials. My favorite was the lotus biscoff cream filled, fruity loops, and blueberry fritter.

The best donuts in Toronto, they have the most delicious flavours and all the time they have innovation with trends, designs, flavours, etc.
You cannot regret to break your diet a little bit, also, when you go for one donut is impossible to leave without a box with 4.
You donât have to believe me, you can try and let me know if I was wrong.
If you donât like the donuts Iâll pay you back from my pocket the money you paid.
I feel very confident and you will love it my suggestion.
If you go for a party, this donuts are the best dessert to make you be the special person who made happy everyone with this multiple flavours.
Small location with huge flavours and awesome customer service with the best attitude and smile alwaysđ
Luv you guysđ©
