Sadly, our experience at Darkside Donuts has not been great. This is the third time we have attempted to try their donuts as our desire for them to be delicious takes control over our past experiences. The reviews on google seem to rave about how good their donuts are and it makes me question if people ever had an exceptional experience with a good donut, or if they are just used to Tim’s donuts when they are giving reviews. I usually go during the morning and expect that they should be fresh. I was wrong in this case, either the times we went the donuts were tasted as if they were from previous days, or they were just extremely stale, oily and flavourless. Although this week luckily 1/6 of the donuts was decent (Cherry Cheesecake) but it still wasn’t over the top great (5.5/10). I think for the price tag on these donuts I would expect them to be fresh, less greasy, and just overall fluffy and taste good. These donuts may be worth a shot for you but for these prices you may disappoint yourself. I think there definitely is potential here to change things around, unfortunately this is my last time buying Donuts from Darkside.

This was my pitstop on the way to Regina, and they did not disappoint! I appreciated the balance of more “out-there” flavours and classics, which is something I miss from the average donut shop. Definitely finish your box in one sitting though - they won’t have the same quality the next day! (And that’s expected).

The only reason I didn't give five stars is consistency. Sometimes, the doughnuts are "not sure what all the fuss is about" but usually they are "oh yeah, I get it, these are awesome!" For the price you get generous sizes, unique flavours, and fresh, quality goodness.

Paid $45 for inedible “birthday” donuts. They were so greasy you could physically wring the oil out. They tasted like old, over-used oil. Not one person at the party could finish their donut. Very disappointed as we drove in from out of town to pick-up.

Just stepped into this donut haven after countless passes, and wow, what a discovery!
The welcome was as warm as their freshly baked donuts. Opted for the daring bacon-on-a-donut combo—surprisingly awesome.
Grabbed it to go, but you've gotta experience it firsthand. No pics of what I got lol, just go see for yourself!
Loads of options, a fun bite, and the perfect do-nothing indulgence. Highly recommend! 🍩
