Von Doughnuts on Danforth just East of Pape transforms the lowly proletarian donut to "Gourmet Doughnut" status with imaginative and over the top delicious creations with panache, They even sell the Doughnut holes renamed as "Kabobs". The owner is pleasant and most proprietarily proud of his creations. I agree having tried the Lemon Lavender combo with a cup of drip coffee on the premises.
I tried both the Crème Brûlée and Sangria. The Caramel Salt ‘N’ Pepa and Kabobs looked good, too.
I really liked the Crème Brûlée. The burnt sugar on top provided the crunch on the light and airy doughnut. The custard was smooth and creamy. It was really like having a crème brûlée!
The Sangria used a red and white wine glaze which was also good but if I didn’t know it was sangria, I wouldn’t be able to guess. The strawberry jam swirl did give the right tang to balance the sweet, fluffy doughnut.

I don’t normally like cake doughnuts, but VON doughnuts has the best cake doughnuts I’ve ever had. Somehow, they managed to make their cake donuts chewy like the yeast donuts that I prefer. We tried their dill pickle cake donut. The deep fried pickle was nothing special and the glaze and dough tasted very dilly. It wasn’t unpleasant, but I wouldn’t call it a must-try flavour. We also tried a chocolate and hazelnut cake donut that had a delicious chocolatey ganache on top, and a crust all around the outside of the donut. The inside of the donut was chocolate flavoured and cakey. It was slightly dry and not sweet enough for my taste. They also have raised (yeast based) donut holes that are nice and soft (photo shown below). We tried their vanilla bean and french toast raised donut holes. Personally, I found that their glazes were way too sweet. Apparently, their best seller is their crème brûlée donut. If you like cake doughnuts, you should definitely give VON doughnuts a chance. Photos can be found on my food blog on my "Gourmet Donut Tour of Toronto" post.
Very creative flavours and toppings. I bought a box of 6 and I enjoyed the colorful presentation of them. The taste did not disappoint either, they were great & I will definitely come again.
Von Donuts are made fresh daily, with all fillings, custards and jams made from scratch. Beautifully decorated, the presentation will make you want to try them all. It was a tough decision, but we settled on the Pretty In Pink and the Pucker Up Sucker.
The donuts were light and fluffy but I prefer donuts that are a bit more dense. Von's are very rich but heavenly for those that have a big sweet tooth.
Pretty In Pink: raised doughnut, white chocolate raspberry vodka ganache dip, lemon drizzle, raspberry buttercream, raspberry compote.
Pucker Up Sucker: raised doughnut, tart lemon custard, lemon drizzle, baked meringue.
Tried mango passion which I didn't really like. peanut butter jelly time which was ok. Ferraro Rocher which was so good. Didn't like butter tart. Didn't like the creme brulee cookie dough was probably my favorite.
I saw this place several times in Toronto and finally decided to give it a try.
When I first walked in and saw the displays, my first thought was, "these are huge. How can I finish one?" The woman working that day explained each one to me so they were a little less intimidating. She even made a few recommendations for me to try.
So I tried one called the creme brulee doughnut. There was burnt sugar on top that added some crunch to the doughnut which I really like. The dough itself was really fluffy and had visible spices in it, giving itself a little personality. Then there was the creme filling. I don't know how they did it but they made it taste like an amazing creme brulee.
I highly recommend this place for unique doughnut that took my breath away
Good doughnuts. At first it may seem pretty expensive but it's a pretty big doughnut and great flavour!
Recommendations: cream brûlée, salted caramel.
This place is where I go for the occasional treat. I also like to bring along my friends so they can experience how wonderful Von Doughnuts is!
So far, I've gotten to try their Caramel Salt 'n' Peppa and their Cookie Dough ice cream. I'm looking forward to the next one! :)
designer donuts that you are paying for!
certainly not cheap, but you will not find these flavors in your typical shop. The donut was very soft and fresh and the flavors of the toppings went very well together (had the sappy pig). it was well worth the visit and I look forward to more in the future.
I went later in the day so there were not many left to choose from. from the looks of the menu and other posts, the variety is of flavors is pretty good.
