In case you haven’t heard, June 2nd is National Doughnut Day, which is the perfect excuse to forego your diet and seek out sweet treats in the name of celebrating a “national” holiday. From classic beloved glazed doughnuts to gourmet maple-infused bacon doughnuts, you’ll be able to satisfy your cravings at our ten favourite doughnut shops in Toronto.
Glory Hole
1596 Queen St W
Three types of doughnuts are made fresh everyday, with a large selection of flavours to make your head spin. Glory Hole is doughnut heaven.

All doughnuts, icings, fillings, custards and jams are made from scratch and filled with love. Each day brings a new roster of quirky flavours with equally quirky names like the One Night Stand and Pucker Up Sucker.
