There’s no wrong time of day to have a doughnut, is there?

I mean, really. Sitting half asleep in early morning traffic, capping off a meal with something sweet or desperately searching to fill the void between breakfast, lunch or dinner, it can’t get any better than biting into a sweet, fried piece of dough in any of its delectable forms.

Which begs the question: what’s your favourite kind of doughnut? Scanning all the options in front of you, several choices have to be made. Filled or classic? Glazed or plain? Cakey or yeasty? Whichever it is, rest assured there are no wrong answers.

Here’s a list of our favourite doughnut shops in the Tri-Cities, where you can find your perfect match no matter what doughnut camp you land in.

One of the greatest things about Doughnut Love is that they change their menu on a monthly basis, constantly putting out new doughnut flavours according to the season. This month, you can find flavours like tiramisu, coffee cake and lemon old fashioned, along with enticing vegan and gluten-free options like banana cake and salted mocha.

This wholesome Port Coquitlam bakery is home to all sorts of delicious treats, from elaborate birthday cakes to hearty pastries and baked goods.

Their classic and cherry-filled éclairs (which count as doughnuts, right?) look amazing too.

Being gluten-free doesn’t mean you should be missing out on having a really good doughnut. That’s where Delish Bakery comes in—their doughnuts are so good you won’t even realize they don’t have gluten in them. The flavour options are endless too, allowing you to order anything from a raspberry fried brioche doughnut to a Boston cream without a second thought.

With over 40 years’ experience making pastries, Casa Del Pane is an exceptional place to visit for traditional Italian sweets like panettone, cannoncini and zeppole (custard-filled Italian doughnuts, essentially) along with yeasty American-style doughnuts like maple glazed, carrot cake and vanilla dip.
