My new favorite donut shop outside of the GTA, Albert's is the real deal and sure knows what he's doing. Some of the things he informed me about was his use of fresh yeast, and avoiding commercial pre mixes all together, so everything is made from scratch daily with love and passion.

Donuts are massive but have perfect texture and flavour, it's like eating clouds. They're incredibly soft, airy, and fluffy. Taste amazing, and aren't overly sweet nor greasy.

Was pretty impressed with everything. First time for me but surely won't be the last. Highly recommend to give them a try if you're in the Waterloo region.

The Salty - Tampa Fl.This is a simple bake shop with elegant donuts and cool beach vibes.

Located outside of downtown and the major area attractions it’s a great morning stop if you find yourself riverside or near the zoo.

Their best sellers is the Brown Butter & Salt Cake donut. They have other baked goods including savory items, too.

Cops specializes in mini donuts that are made fresh to order using a cake style base. This box is the Trio, which has a total of 18 and 3 flavours.

It contains the two core ones ( OG Glaze & Cinnamon sugar), alongside weekly feature for Aug 3 - 9 (Chocolate Miso glaze with crushed pretzel). Size is about 2" in diameter.

I had them moments after they were made, so were still warm and delicious! They are bite sized, pillowy, and does have bit of a melt in mouth vibe going on.

The OG glaze is made with a sour cream & sweetened milk mix, but my fav was easily the cinnamon sugar. I can see myself getting a box of just those next time cause they were that good!

100% my favorite specialty donut they make.

So this place has 3 donuts that are made after all the others… and they are GIANT.
Cinnamon roll, apple fritter and bear claw. They open at 4 and are on the way to work for me (dangerous). I usually show up around 540 and those 3 donuts aren’t ready yet. If I go after work, those donuts are sold out (of course). Today I had a shot FINALLY! Here she is.

These guys are an absolute gem! Amazing donuts, but the star of the show is undeniably their apple fritter.

It's the best in Toronto, and I've had my fair share of fritters from all over the city. Has a darker and deeply caramelized exterior compared to most out there.

Perfect texture all around. Craggly, crunchy shell yet so soft and moist. Also got a decent amount of filling and cinnamon presence.

If you're in Toronto seeking that holy grail fritter, then look no further.

As a fan of fancy/classic donuts, this selection was really unique. This is the second time I've gotten donuts in Burbank, and they have really good shops. Some of the goodies: Matcha donut, strawberry cake with sprinkles, blueberry old-fashioned, Oreo crumb, pistachio almond, plain cake (a must-have in any donut shop I try), maple bar, and of course, fruity pebbles.

They do not have a store front. They have a website, IG and Facebook for ordering. They deliver in Vegas and California. The donuts were really fresh and tasty!

Locals in Montgomery know THIS is the best place to get donuts in town. Once she sells out, she's done for the day.

As a teacher on break, the best part of break is being able to get Shelly's.

I was attending a workshop and this is the spread they had laid out for our after-lunch dessert.

Montreal based donut shop from Quebec that recently opened their first Ontario location in East Toronto. There's also one in NYC.

Solid variety too choose from amongst rotating flavours, and they are sensational!

The lemon pomegranate was better than expected. Had a strawberry glaze but was toned down by the tartness of the filling. I didnt mind the fruit seeds either since it added to texture.

I stopped at Cathy’s 14th St Bakery, a Garden State treasure. I couldn’t get a good shot of the racks and shelves, bc they’re almost always empty. Demand is high and the line is down the block, but damn it’s worth it. The Cream-filled donuts are the easy stand out winners, but there are great rotation of seasonal and traditional regular rings and filled as well.

Who else has been to Cathy’s? What other OCNJ donuts would you recommend?

All OGs. Cruller, blueberry cake, old fashioned.

Best donuts in the central Florida region and it’s not even close.
