This place is a hidden gem. Big beautiful fresh baked doughnuts. I swear the fritters are as big as your face and hot from the oven. Quality coffee and reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and make you feel like you are old friends, very welcoming. A cozy shop not huge but comfortable and clean. Definitely check it out
if you are in the area.

I get my donuts from here every single week, and honestly, they never disappoint! Every single donut is fresh and delicious. Their coffee is outstanding always hot, freshly brewed, and truly rejuvenating. To top it all off, the gentleman working there is very stylish, professional, and incredibly welcoming. I’m officially a regular now! 😊🍩☕️

Amazing old school style place, with some interesting cake donuts, and very clean with the nicest staff. Got the apple fritter it was amazing, crispiest on the outside I’ve ever had, with pretty good apple filling, though the dough was decent was anything too special, but I do like that the coating was fresh. Crispness was the priority there. But the vibe of the place was awesome.
Fritter gets an 8.7/10, it was massive though.

Possibly the best donuts in the city. The yeast donuts are soft but not too soft. The cake donuts are light and not too dense. The texture on the French cruller is light and airy (likely the best French cruller I’ve ever had).

All the donuts I’ve tried so far are great, though my favourites so far are: French cruller (#1), raspberry filled, and apple fritter.

I like how the flavours are classic tastes and not the crazy, gimmicky styles we see too often these days. Also, nothing here is too sweet, you can taste the actual flavours and not just sugar.

Pricing is fair at $3 or $3.50 per donut ($5 for fritter).

I’m glad I don’t live too close to this place otherwise I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from coming here all the time.

A shop full of cuteness and deliciousness — definitely a must-visit!
I absolutely love the cozy and cute atmosphere inside. The donuts are super fluffy, not too sweet, and sooo tasty♡
I’ll definitely come back to try more flavors🍩

Scratches the itch for old school donuts sooo well. The owners are also so lovely

Have tried almost all their flavours at this point at definitely the sour cream, chocolate (double but also omg the coconut), and cherry stick are standouts.

I will say their crueller is unfortunately a miss to me- far too eggy and lacks a good crust of sugar that gives a crueller its iconic texture

I had a great experience at this location. I ordered the Spanish Coffee and it was delicious. Smoothe coffee. Super cute ambiance. Not too loud, my friend and I were able to talk without yelling. Greta place to go and study. The food is amazing. I forgot to get a picture but you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic coffee! I didn't try their food. But the service is great. Small, crowded, front area. But they have tables outside also. Parking fills up quickly.
$6.50 for a 12oz specialty coffee (avg pricing).
Took a star away bc they are CASHLESS! I'm not sure why a business would not accept cash. Very inconvenient!

If you're looking for coffee and espresso drinks done the correct way, this is the place for you!

All the staff and the owner are really nice people. I work at the hotel shop next door and love coming here, it starts my day off right. Such positive vibes.

They have frufru drinks available too, if that's what you're into.

The Acai bowls were really nice. Made a custom one with the matcha base and loved it. Was happy custom option wasn't uncharged.
The unfinished exposed ceiling though needs to be stained or painted, looked really tacky.

Stumbled across this little cafe one day to pick up some drinks and was wonderfully surprised by the amazing atmosphere. Once we got our drinks we knew we had to come here again. This time we stopped by for lunch and cannot be more happy with the experience. The food both looked and tasted incredible. So happy we found this place and will definitely be coming again!!

I was excited to try this place but it wasn’t hitting the mark fully. I got the avocado toast and it was yummy

When I showed up there was no one in line and I had to wait a bit before someone helped me, it was hard to hear them call your name if you were sitting outside, and everything is served to go (at least they didn’t ask me and mine was). I like a place with real plates and cutlery. I don’t want to feel rushed. Also, the chairs outside were rickety.

I will try them again because I love cafes.

Very good coffee drinks however the food is just average. Lots of items on the menu weren't made as they were described on the menu. It would say it was made on sourdough but it was made on a totally different kind of bread, Really changes the Dynamics of what you're ordering. At least 6 items on the menu were not available. Would not return.

Edit: I came back in and felt bad for the bad review. Tried the avo toast. Amazing. Still were out of the cold brew. Baristas were very nice.

Edit: I don’t know if the first time I came in was just a rough month but I come in now all the time. It’s great. The food is delicious as well.

Throwback to the donuts you loved as a child with classic flavours and cake donuts!
Double choc cake donut is very chocolatey (although it may not be if it was only glaze) and little bit of a dense texture. Sour cream cake didn’t quite land for me, didn’t taste like sour cream. Cherry stick is glorious.

Boston cream and Maple cream are excellent. Vanilla pastry cream is exactly like the taste from the 90s and donuts are properly filled!

The apple fritters are delicious. Crispy glazed exterior with good amount of cinnamon and apples and they’re flat so you get that crispness in each bite - and big! :)

I think the glazes need to be more thorough as fritters are only half covered, and cakes donuts are spotty.

Prices are fair - fritter is more expensive but makes sense given the size.

Update Aug 2024:
The apple fritters don’t seem to be consistent and what they were when they opened 6 months ago. :( The last four times I went for them, twice they didn’t have them out yet (9:30am during weekday). Once there was no cinnamon in the dough, barely any apples and hardly glazed. Last Sunday it was smaller, half glazed, no apples and little cinnamon on inside. Quite disappointing.

After travelling from Vancouver Island I had to check out what my friends told me were the best donuts in the area. It did not disappoint. I had my own food critic from ratatouille moment being transported back to childhood road trips to northern Ontario when I had my first bite. I bought a dozen and shared it with family who all agreed that the donuts were great, and reminded them of similar experiences.

The drip coffee pairs well with the donuts. Some standouts include the vanilla dip sprinkle, maple cream and double chocolate. The donuts are glazed well, and were the right blend of dense and airy.

I look forward to my next visit whenever that may be.

I’ve been searching for old-school donuts, there’s nothing better than dunking your donut into a cup of coffee and half your coffee comes back with it. That hasn’t existed for a long time until…Better Days Donuts. The atmosphere, the quality and the service is what you get at Better Days.
They are located at 963 Dovercourt Rd Toronto.
Great place and friendly service.
ENJOY!!!

Nice coffee shop to go to after/before going to the park nearby. Cute little place with both indoor and outdoor (front and back of cafe) seating.

My gripe, hence the 3 stars.
1) no one cleans the tables after it’s been used
2) if there are more than one customer with the same name, plz be specific who the order is for.
3) I felt terrible that I picked up someone’s order, because we had the same name and opened it. The worker I told just handed the order to the right person without asking if they’d prefer a new order. At the same time, the customer could have requested a new one
4) my Spanish latte was too sweet and too much cinnamon
5) my acai bowl was also too sweet tho my kid’s order (grill cheese) was pretty good

Excellent donuts and coffee. The donuts taste fresh. There was no rancid oil flavour. This is one of the rare places that do cake donuts right as they arr crumbly yet still moist. I wish the sour cream icing was a bit tangier. Coffee was amazing.

What a sweet treat along Dovercourt! This retro-inspired, quaint coffee & donut shop was a fun spot to visit for a quick pick-me-up. I grabbed a branded coffee mug too because they were too cute to ignore. The atmosphere is nostalgic & retro, yet clean.. and the place felt cozy, thoughtfully designed and inviting. I left the place smiling and with a box of 6 delicious donuts to share at home (trying not to eat them too fast but the jelly donut was super tasty so far). Everything from the signage to the hand-painted ceiling is a delight. Definitely a welcome neighbourhood staple.

Recently stopped by and I'm so glad I did! We came by on a Friday around noon - 1PM. It wasn't super busy and we were able to sit and enjoy our sweet treat. We had the raspberry filled donut and the French crueller and they were perfect! The raspberry jam was so good! Perfect amount of sweetness, the donut itself was also super soft and fresh. The French crueller was also amazing!! The sweetness level was perfect! Both donuts were around $9, including tip. It is on the pricey side but totally worth it 🗣🗣🗣
