Been here twice now. Fast breakfasts and late night fried chicken. So good!! Busy too! Be prepared for long lines!

This is a joint located on the corner of 41st and Knight. In addition to serving up fresh made donuts, which they offer in about two dozen varieties, they also have quite a large menu of sandwiches, burgers, and various Mexican food (they were also featured in a scene in the movie Edge of Seventeen). During my visit, I got four donuts (Chocolate Peanut, Angel, Buttermilk with Custard, and Bear Claw), two Pupusas (Pork and Bean and Cheese), and a Beef Steak Sub. While I didn't really care for their Pupusas, their sandwich was tasty as were most of their donuts. The prices were also extremely reasonable. This is definitely a place that I'd recommend visiting.
Pork and Bean Pupusa ($2.99):
2.5/5
The corn tortilla was soft and had a nice fragrance, although I did find it to be a tad on the dry side. The bean did provide a nice creaminess. I couldn't really taste much of the pork however, and I do find the amount of filling to be a bit stingy in general.
Cheese Pupusa ($2.99):
2.5/5
This was similar to the pork and bean pupusa, except with cheese. Again, I found the amount of filling to be too scant: I actually had difficulty detecting the cheese. The surrounding tortilla was enough to make it enjoyable, however.
Angel Donut ($1.25):
4/5
This is a yeast donut that's filled with chocolate icing and coated in shredded coconut. The donut itself was reasonably light and fluffy. There was a generous amount of icing, which while a tad greasy, had a nice chocolaty flavour. I really enjoyed the coconut, which provided a great fragrance.
Chocolate Peanut Donut ($1.25):
4/5
This is a chocolate cake donut that's filled with flaked/ground peanuts. The donut is quite tender and moist. The peanuts provided a wonderful fragrance; I couldn't really detect much of the chocolate flavour, but that's fine since I really enjoyed the peanuts.
Beef Steak Sub ($5.29):
4/5
This was filled with pieces of steak, mayo, pickles, vegetables. It usually comes with avocado, but because I've got an allergy, I asked them to remove it. The bread was really nicely toasted, being crispy on the outside and had a nice crispiness on the outside. The meat was also quite tasty, and was well seasoned and not too tough; the amount was a bit stingy however. I really enjoyed the mayo and vegetables.
Buttermilk Donut with Custard ($1.25):
4/5
Their buttermilk donuts comes with several varieties of fillings; I had their custard version. The donut had a cakey texture, and was tender and moist. I did find the custard to be a bit too hard/goopy; I think think that one of their jam fillings is probably better.
Bear Claw ($2):
3/5
This was a yeast donut that was filled with cinnamon apples. The dough was once again soft and fluffy. The apples still had a nice crispness to them. I did find the donut to be quite bland however; the apples were tart without much sweetness and there wasn't enough glaze on the exterior.
Summary:
Food: 3.5/5
Price: 4.5/5
Service: N/A
Overall: 4/5
Recommendations: Donuts, Sandwiches
This is the perfect place to go after party in downtown. They serve sandwiches, fried chicken and bubble tea and they’re open 24 hours. The place is nice. Donuts are fresh and very soft. Fried chicken is great but I find the breading a little bit salty.
After moving to Vancouver, I had always passed by Duffin’s and was so curious to try a 24h place since we don’t have any in Edmonton. I was actually super surprised at how busy and decent their food actually is, not to mention cheap 😵😵😵 Id go back regardless of a late night trip
We just finished a two hour movie that took us right to 12:15pm. And unfortunately due to the lateness of its conclusion, we were limited in our late night dinner options. Not wanting another fast food burger we took the drive to “Duffin’s Donuts”. Still fast food, but more than just doughnuts.
This post deserves a full write up because Duffin's Donuts has been an institution for so many Vancouverites over the past I don't know how many decades. . I've never been, heard awesome things about it and most importantly, it's cheap. A $20 dollar challenge here would be epic, ideas, who's down?
The donuts are sooo good. Soft, not too sweet, and bigger than Tim horten's. it's hilarious to me that they're open 24 hours. But no matter how late you go, the donuts will be fresh and soft.
My favorite dive restaurant, a real neighbourhood joint. Their open 24 hours and have a wide variety of foods. Try the teriyaki chicken torta and their fried chicken. Perfect comfort food.
Duffin's Donuts, a local favourite. My favourite donut place right now, conveniently a small 5 minute detour from the regular work route. This must be the best and freshest donut, for the price.
This place is my kind of s%$#thole. No consistency or pretense just comfort food served in very very basic surroundings. You have to go for thr tortas if you come here. More than worth it.
