Awesome donuts. Honestly the best I've ever had. Place is always clean. The owner is very nice and friendly. I started coming here before living on this side of the city. Nothing bad about this place. Love their cookies too.

On a recent rainy Sunday afternoon, my boyfriend and I needed an afternoon pick-me-up, so decided to try Take 5 – a classic, old school coffee and donut shop. Remember those? (Tim Horton’s does not count). I vaguely do and honestly thought they only existed in small towns and on Gasoline Alley, don’t tell me you don’t get excited every time you see the Donut Mill when you pass through Red Deer. Luckily I was wrong, they do exist, and they are just as wonderful as I remembered them to be.
It is located on 118 Street and is practically an institution in the Beverly neighborhood. Like most things on 118 Street, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. This place is really a hidden gem. The staff are friendly, prices are very reasonable, there is lots of tables to sit and parking is easy.
The donuts speak for themselves. They have a wonderful selection with everything from traditional glazed donuts to more interesting ones such as Dulce de Leche. I had the Cream Supreme (chocolate glaze with whip cream filling) and would highly recommend it. My boyfriend had the coconut one and also loved it.
Donuts aside, they also offer other baked goods, as well as sandwiches, soups and subs, if you would like to make a meal out of it.
If Take 5 is not yet on your list of places to visit, it should be. You will not be disappointed.
I love this place. The donuts are fantastic, I've never been disappointed by them. Even the simple honey glazed is incredible--fluffy, pillowy, sweet, toothsome--everything you want it to be.
Legit real coffee shop here. Homemade fluffy LIGHT doughnuts (Tim Hortons should be ashamed), cinnamon buns, eclairs etc. A real gem in the world of chains.
Plus the owner is a kind soul. Will return again many a time for its nostalgic, no nonsense 1980s Edmonton vibe. Plus I want to try all the varieties (there must be 50!) of doughnuts. Please don't change :)
Restaurant owner is a man named Leon. Just a beauty of a guy. Was looking for some doughnuts one day and was sick of Tim Hortons and came across this place. From the sandwiches to tarts to basically anything its pretty legit. Great person so it's easy to come back.
It’s been awhile since my last visit to Take Five (see here). I’m pretty sure this is old man paradise. There’s a soup, donut and coffee deal for $4.99. A little throwback to old school prices. There’s a couple menu boards hanging up. Sandwiches and soups to start. More subs and salads.
I have heard good things about this place. Was on my way to get gas for my car and decided to stop here to check this place out. I ordered half a dozen donuts plus a french cruller. Small little coffee joint that serves up amazing donuts! I really enjoyed the cream supreme donut as I believe this is a favorite among others as well. The people behind the counter is so friendly! Would definitely be back to try other items.
Take 5 is what you would consider a real diamond in the rough. Located in the Beverly neighbourhood on notorious 118 Avenue, it's a humble coffee shop that has become, for many years, a local gathering place for its community. Everything about it is quintessential old school. The decor is dated and the patrons are as diverse as they are interesting. Based on first impressions, you wouldn't expect them to be serving up some of the best donuts in town. Yet, they do.
Time warp. Simple utilitarian decor. Mostly geriatric old-stock clientele (at least on weekends). Low prices. Fast no-nonsense service.
And........ excellent donuts and other pastries.
A slice of Canadian prairies........ circa 1980s (check it out and enjoy)!
Sorry Timmy's, you can't be compared to Take Five. Take Five looks like your average little coffee shop located in the Beverly neighborhood, on the east side of Edmonton. It's quiet and small and what I would call a hidden gem. Their food is amazingly cheap. What's even more amazing? THEIR DONUTS. You can tell that their donuts are freshly made in-house. There are so many options to choose from and they also have mini donut holes. Along with donuts, Take Five serves sandwiches, soups, chili, oven baked goods, and hot drinks.
Take 5 is a hidden gem! I come here once a week cause where else can you go that opens early and closes late for your random donut cravings? Doesn’t matter what time you go, the donuts are delicious, fresh, and soft yet not too sweet and heavy like other places in the city. There’s tons of unique flavours and variety to choose from and price is unbeatable!
Yumm!
The donuts are easily a 10/10. I work just down the road from this place and sadly don’t have time to stop in enough. The homemade subs are one of my favorite things to grab for lunch in the area.
Delicious doughnuts with extremely kind owners.
My wife and I decided to go with a doughnut tower instead of a traditional wedding cake for our reception, so we of course had to go with Take 5. The doughnuts were a big hit with our guests, with many asking where we got them. Of the 8 dozen we ordered, only 6 were leftover by the end.
We also had a small mixup with the order payment--I had pre-paid for the order, but my friend who picked up the order was charged upon pickup. Once we realized the error and informed the shop, the owner worked tirelessly to fix the error by confirming my information, checking his books, then refunding the money. The process took a couple days, but he was courteous and in constant communication with me the entire time. The mistake could have happened anywhere, but the way he fixed the error was what really impressed me.
I will continue to be a customer of Take 5 long into my now-married days.
I love donuts. A freshly served donut, both the traditional cake and popular yeast style. No aftertastes!...only the 'taste' for another one. This place has a comfortable feel. The staff are solid, they know the product and can answer questions. The patrons seem happy and satisfied. Lastly, it's part of a business complex, parking is easily found in the lot, or on the street.
My wife had taken the kids for a play date, so what’s a guy to do? Completing chores, knocking off home improvement projects and self improvement were options, but all wrong options this day. The correct answer was to drive across the city for donuts, obviously.
A bit of a drive from the west end of the city, but nothing compared to a drive to the Donut Mill on Gasoline Alley. It was a cute spot with helpful staff. The selection of donuts was impressive, but payment options were limited. Debit or cash only, which is a minor deal. What business wants to pay 2 to 3% to a credit card processor if you don’t have to, right?
In the end, the donuts were very tasty and received thumbs up from the Peanut Gallery at home. It’s nice to see a local business going strong in Old Town Beverly.
Owner is the sweetest man I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Very soft spoken yet kind and polite, as are any of his staff.
Always clean anytime I've gone there. Even in wet, dingy weather they do their darnedest to keep up with what keeps getting tracked inside.
You want a reasonably priced and yummy quick lunch, or a mid day snack? Then you absolutely must stop here. If you don't, you are missing out.
Always told myself I needed to check out this place finally went after 5 year. If you're a donut lover this is the place to go. Everything is freshly made that day. Purchased the cruller, specialty cinnamon bun and apple fritter they definitely weren't drenched in sugar. Had the perfect amount of sweetness. Support these small local businesses you'll be shocked on what you missed out on.
Delicious food and friendly staff! This is a Beverly staple for sure and folks travel from across the city to try their legendary food! Highly recommend!
