Best Donuts in Hamilton

"After three years of business, Donut Monster is known across Hamilton for their success story and high quality donuts. Starting as a supplier for many Hamilton coffee shops, Donut Monster has grown into a full-fledged business open seven days a week. Donut Monster donuts are yeast-risen and soft with a light chew."

"I'm not a big fan of donuts, but this place deserves a 4 star cause they have more than donuts."

"The family owned and operated donut shop has been hand-making donuts every morning for more than 30 years. With over 120 years of combined experience, the shop’s four bakers only use the finest ingredients and traditional methods to produce their remarkable donuts. Grandad’s has over 30 different flavours to choose from."

"A Hamilton classic, Grandad’s Donuts are baked fresh daily on site at 3 AM. Grandad’s Donuts is a family owned and operated coffee and donut shop that has been making donuts for over 30 years now. Located near the waterfront, they offer amazing donuts, muffins, and other goods."

"Tried the Boston cream, apple fritter, blueberry fritter, and strawberry powdered donut. All of them were delicious and reasonably priced!"

"As their name suggests, they’re a classic diner that not only serves breakfast and lunch, but they also make some delicious donuts. If you’re more of a traditionalist, Donut Diner has the donuts for you. Old fashion plain, chocolate, chocolate dip, maple dip… they’re got the classics you know and love."

"Darling Donuts is a pre-order only bakery that specializes in miniature donuts. The donuts are perfect for birthday parties, special events and thank you gifts. Darling Donuts has a fun, whimsical style, decorating each donut with care."

"Between old school spots like Grandad’s Donuts and the more elevated fare at Donut Monster, Hamilton has no shortage of excellent options for the doughy, sweet snack. Even still, the city is about to get another exciting and singular addition with the forthcoming Momoco Donuts: a sister spot to the beloved Asian bakery MySweeTooth. Momoco Donuts will be opening soon at 2 Catharine Street North between King Street East and King William Street, and it promises to mix things up a bit with a selection of freshly-baked Asian fusion donuts crafted in unique flavours and styles like matcha or strawberry glazed."

"Democracy* is unquestionably one of Locke Street’s favourite coffee shops. Endeavouring to be equal parts cafe, vegan eatery, and community space, Democracy* thrives on being an open, welcoming environment that also happens to serve killer vegan bites. Tofu Banh Mi and Big Mac pizzas are eye-catching offerings, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg in a stacked plant-based menu filled with share plates and sizeable entrees."

"Democracy on Locke understands that dietary restrictions shouldn’t stand in the way of access to delicious, indulgent food. The coffee shop sells plenty of vegan and gluten-free goods, allowing a wider demographic to come in and enjoy their food. While all of their food is great (have you tried their nachos?) we’re really big fans of their donuts."

"Democracy on Locke is a proudly vegan and vegetarian friendly café. Located on Locke Street, Democracy is a great spot for friends to gather and grab a bite to eat. Democracy’s extensive menu is ever-evolving, making sure to always incorporate both fresh and local ingredients."

"In their relaxed cafe setting slightly hidden away on John Street South, vegan foodies can savour plant-based goodness in the form of hearty tofu bowls, satisfying salads & sandwiches, nachos, mac ‘n cheese, and tantalizing gluten-free baked goods. Live music routinely populates the restaurant’s front corner, adding even more to the chill communal energy that Planted has nailed."

"This is my favourite place to grab some vegan food and some vegan/gluten free baked goods. The food is always banging, fresh, flavourful and appropriate..."

"The place is inconspicuous on the plaza it's on; we had to drive around twice before we saw it from the road...."

"Albion Falls is easily one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Hamilton, rippling over the Niagara Escarpment in Red Hill Valley. This incredible cascade waterfall you won’t soon forget stands 18 metres wide and 19 metres tall with the water tumbling over rock that’s transformed into steps and shelves over time. Although there’s no access to the bottom, Albion Falls is visible from two viewing platforms, so you can admire the gorgeous waterfall while being surrounded by lush greenery."

"You'd need to travel a long way beyond Hamilton to find a cascade waterfall as beautiful as this one. Safety concerns have reduced access to the foot of the falls, but the viewing platforms sill make for excellent photo opportunities of this natural wonder. The photo ops are endless at Tiffany Falls."

"At 62 feet (19 metres) Albion Falls is one of the most majestic waterfalls in Hamilton thanks to the steep cliff face and tree coverage. The large boulders on the bottom add to its majesty. In summer many people used to visit the waterfalls and bask in the sun on the boulders."

"Buttermilk Falls could be considered a hidden gem but it’s far from hidden as it sits under a bridge on Mountain Brow Blvd near Limeridge Rd on the East mountain. It is more correct to say it is just overshadowed by the more popular Albion Falls which is less than 1 minute up the road by car. Buttermilk Falls is approximately 75 feet high (23 metres) and runs almost year round."

"Continuing to head west, we had to make a stop for one of the most popular waterfalls in the whole area: Albion Falls. Honestly, it did not disappoint. This massive waterfall (seen from a distance if you park where we did) is made up of many little “steps” and layers so the water cascades down and down into the pool below."

"Just down the road close to Chedoke Falls was another waterfall we set our to see: Cliffview Falls. After realizing (once again) that it would be hard to see this one from the road area, we parked in Cliffview Park. This was free to park and a great idea because we ended up having a short break here."

"201 Whitney Avenue by Rifle Range Road Alexander Park, a popular park located beside Prince Philip School, has a hardball field, two softball fields, a play structure, swings, and a wading pool with a spray fountain. The accessible washrooms are open during games by the Alexander Minor Baseball Association."

"200 Bonaventure Drive William McCulloch Park is a large sports park with one Peewee level baseball field, one Bantam level field, and four Rookie level fields. It also has a creative play structure and swings. It has been the home of the West Mountain Baseball Association since 1980."

"1328 Barton Street, Stoney Creek Winona Park is an active community park featuring lit and unlit softball fields, play equipment, a park shelter, spray pad, woodlot, and parking."
