March is definitely the time to buckle down and do nothing but work\u2026 right?  Well, this month I went on a fun and exciting adventure to find the best donut shop in Toronto! My partner loves donuts so much and inspired me to get out and try some of the best donuts Toronto has to offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though it\u2019s the busiest time of the year, I\u2019m glad I took the time to do something fun like this! It\u2019s important to remember that beyond school, we\u2019re also human beings who deserve to do fun things and explore the places we live in. Plus, getting out of my apartment and enjoying myself has helped prevent burn-out during such a busy time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Dipped Donuts Inc<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first donut place we checked out was Dipped Donuts Inc<\/a> in Kensington Market. It\u2019s hard not to make a stop at this place\u2014it specializes in Instagram-worthy donuts topped with various unique toppings, such as \u201cCookies and Cream,\u201d \u201cCarrot Cake,\u201d and \u201cSmores.\u201d Personally, I tried a Smores donut (topped with a marshmallow and graham cracker) and a Carrot Cake donut! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Even though these donuts looked incredible, I didn't think they tasted as good as I expected. The Smores donut felt like the donut shop spent too much time trying to replicate smores and too little time focusing on the basics of the donut (like good dough and icing). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Carrot Cake donut, however, was fantastic! I think that these donuts' appearance and unique flavours are definitely their best assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.  Bloomer's<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next place we checked out was Bloomer's<\/a> on Bloor! This place is really famous for having great vegan donuts. We went to Bloomer's two times\u2014the first time, we tried a sprinkles donut and a cinnamon sugar donut, and the second time, we tried a chai donut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chai donut got a bit squished in my bag! <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I loved that these donuts were a bit more paired down than Dipped, and featured some classic flavours. They definitely satisfied my old-fashioned donut cravings and were great vegan donuts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I felt like the dough on these donuts wasn't fried very much\u2014they tasted quite bready. So although these donuts were very good, they were lacking that crunch and fried taste of a classic old-fashioned donut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Machino Donuts <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we went to Machino Donuts<\/a> on Bloor, which is just a few blocks away from Bloomer's. Like Bloomer's, this donut shop specializes in classic, vegan donuts. We tried a sour cream glaze donut, a jelly donut, and a butter tart donut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

To my excitement, these donuts were great. While they had classic toppings like sour cream glaze and jelly, they also had fun flavours like butter tart which still tasted really good. Importantly, they had more of a fried taste and texture than Bloomer's did. So, my favourite donuts so far are definitely from Machino! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there any more places you know that we need to try? Please let me know in the comments below! \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
