Excellent donuts!

Amazing donuts with very unique flavours. Arrived later in the afternoon and it was very busy with an extended wait. There were still lots of selection, but they had limited selection or were sold out of certain flavours. It’s probably best to arrive early to get a good pick.

Delicious and Unique!!

Absolutely delicious donuts! They had quite a few flavors, with a lot of fun, unique options you might not see at other donut shops. I will definitely be coming back here next time I'm in the area! Very reasonably priced for the size too!

Pros: All vegan , Kind staff, Quick service even with a long line

Incredible

Best donuts ever. So good, in fact, we made the trip (MN to MA) back the same way we came so we could try even more flavors! The cronuts were my favorite but really there wasn’t a bad one in the bunch. Delish!!

The best!

Beechwood is perfect!
It has the best doughnuts I've ever had. Not just the best vegan doughnuts. THE best ones. EVER.
They have lots of flavours, and I know that they're good employers who care about their workers.

Pros: Most delicious doughnuts ever, Local, small business, Good working conditions

Yum!

I haven’t had a donut in years (limited vegan options where I live). A coworker told me to stop by Beechwood on my way to Toronto.

Amazing! The chocolate cheesecake melted in my mouth. Earl Grey was a delightful twist to a “regular” glazed donut.

I’ll be back!

Pros: Service, Taste, Cleanliness of store

Cons: Have to pay for street/lot parking

Mmm, doughnuts…

Great place, so delicious! Monthly specials and regulars/classics are all so tasty and all vegan! You can just go there and get in the long queue (as one should expect) or preorder online (for next day pickup). They also do delivery (depending on the area you’re in).

Pros: Doughnuts , Fritters, Cronuts

Best doughnuts

We preordered the day before because we heard they run out of doughnuts. They had them ready for us and they were hands down the BEST DOUGHNUTS we have ever had! We got the mocha, peach cobbler, blueberry lemon fritter and cookies and cream.

Pros: Fresh, Amazing flavor, No fake ingredients

Best Donut I have ever had - vegan or not

Walked in on a Sunday afternoon about 4 minutes before closing. After waving book marked it for a long time, I was so disappointed that I reached late and that they had just two flavours left. I picked them any ways.

Sprinkle - just a regular doughnut, thankfully made vegan. One bite and it bought memories of the last time I had this. Just as I remembered. Bang on.

Coconut Cream - now this was a doughnut that just blew me away. One bite and I was blown. Family had a similar reaction. The coconut cream was so soft and fluffy and just sweet enough. The coconut flakes outside provided a crunch texture and the doughnut was just perfect.

This location is about a 100kms away from home and I feel like driving all the way for just for this!

Pros: So many options all vegan!, Coconut Cream - one bite and you will be blown awa

Going there for years and the drive is SO worth it.

Driving to St. Catharines, it's good to have a few places to go in town. Beechwood Doughnuts is the place to go before we hit Rise Above (across the road) or Lemon Tree. Like Donut Monster is the place to go in Hamilton before going to Hearty Hooligan or Rise Above. All of their Donuts are Vegan and so many of them are wonderful. A great town for a Vegan tour.

Pros: Coconut Cream, Apple Fritter, Cinnamon Sugar

Cons: French Toast, Birthday Cake, Cookies n' Cream

UNBEATABLE

Before turning to a plant based lifestyle 6 years ago, I had tried many donut shops, some famous, like Tim Hortons, Dunkin Donut, Crispy Cream… and some local shop here and there but, none of them come even remotely close to BEACHWOOD DOUGHNUTS. The selection is remarkable, the freshness unbeatable, and the taste is to die for. Vegan or not, they are the ultimate best and a must stop when in St. Catharines, ON. I tried them on a recent family visit to St. Catharines and I can’t wait to go back and indulge myself again. Beachwood Doughnuts must expand and open more shops all over; starting here in Kelowna, BC 😜. I give this shop 5 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩

Pros: Huge selection (earlier in the day the better), Baked fresh every day , I can’t say enough about this place

Doughnuts to die for!

These are the best dessert that you could get locally! So sweet, fluffy, and so many flavours! They have a variety of flavours and have specials on all the time to change it up! I’ve come here a few times now and I am never disappointed! These are a must try for the Niagara region!

Pros: Dessert , Lots of variety, Good price for quality

Worth the diabetes

Ok, obviously not but now that I have your attention



It’s crazy to drive an hour for a box of doughnuts but that’s what I do for these amazingly delicious and creative vegan doughnuts. They experiment with new flavours every month and they are made in house so they are exceptionally fresh, soft and satisfying. Everything is vegan so don’t worry and enjoy!

Pros: All vegan, Made in house , Good selection

Cons: Far away from Toronto , A bit expensive

Best vegan doughnuts ever!

I have been craving doughnuts for months and I couldn’t find a vegan shop in MTL that are as good as Beechwood doughnuts. I stumbled upon this shop by chance because my brother live near the falls. It is a bit expensive but totally worth it. It’s better than other places because they use real ingredients, they are vegan, tasty, flavorful, fluffy and they have lots of choices. Each doughnuts is an explosion of flavor. It is THAT good!

Pros: All dairy free, Lots of choices, The employees are really nice

Cons: Far from Toronto, A bit expensive

Drove 7 hours for these donuts

It all started with a trip to Niagara Falls. We visited Toronto the first day. We heard apiecolypse had vegan donuts. Waited over an hour in line just for them to say “sold out” disappointed we drove back to Niagara and started researching vegan donut places. And guess what came up…BEECHWOOD DOUGHNUTS. I am so glad our mission failed the first day because these donuts are life changing. This was two years ago and I would drive up every year for these donuts except covid closed the border. (I’m from CT, USA) anyways they finally opened the border for travel and this was our first stop. THEY ARE WORTH A 7 hour drive. YOU MUST TRY THEM. Also they don’t taste vegan at all, my meat eating boyfriend agrees. He’s also obsessed with them! I love this place!

Wish it were closer, but then again the distance may be a good thing for my marathon training.

Visited again and had to do another review for 2022, lots of new choices and still an amazing place!

I wish I could have set up a tent outside and tried every single donut they offered. I tried only two- my life feels incomplete.
