Best Donuts in Richmond

"Cartems offers so many awesome flavours it’s a borderline challenge to pick one when you walk into one of their shops. From the crave-worthy Cookies and cream to one of their adventurous rotating savoury options (like honey parmesan), not to mention their decadent filled "Stuffies" there's something for everyone here. Vegans take note: there are plenty of donuts for you at Cartems, too."

"It's well known that Canadians love their donuts, but Cartems is adding flavorful twists to what you would typically see on a donut menu. The Bee Sting's topped with a Cassia flower infused honey glaze and finished with cracked black pepper and grated parmesan cheese. It makes for a delicious sweet and salty treat."

"Address: Downtown – 534 West Pender, Vancouver BC | Mount Pleasant – 2190 Main St., Vancouver BC. My friends wanted to go and get some donuts, and we went to this place called Cartems!. Apparently, they have a lot of vegan and gluten-free options (which made me really happy!)."

"This brand-new tasting room from one of Vancouver’s favorite craft beers is finally back after a six-month hiatus, and the city’s beer nerds couldn’t be happier. Like pop stars reinventing themselves, Parallel 49 decided to go big or go home, crafting a tasting room with 40 beers on tap, including their hoppy, grapefruit-riddled Wobbly Pop and their Filthy Dirty IPA. Oh, and they literally brought a food truck inside the building, so you can snack on steamed pork baos and corn dogs while you imbibe."

If you haven’t heard of 49th Parallel, then you’ve never been to Vancouver, because every coffee-drinking Vancouverite knows the friendly coffee giant that is 49th Parallel. With three locations around the city, you can be sure that anytime you stop by one of their shops you can get a standardly delicious cup of coffee, and also you can grab a Lucky’s doughnut, which is just heavenly."

Not only known for their coffee, but also for Lucky’s Doughnuts, this coffee shop has three locations across the city. With lots of seating and a lively atmosphere this is the perfect spot to pick up a sweet treat and get some work done."

"We couldn’t write a list of the best donuts in Vancouver without including this absolute titan. We’re not going to sit here and say it’s off the charts, flavour-wise. But, there’s no denying that Duffin’s is a magical place in Vancouver, has a tremendous range of donuts to choose from, and the best value in the city by far."

"Their 30-year run of fresh baked and prepared in-house donuts has made them a Vancouver staple. They offer 50 varieties and also serve fried chicken, Chinese food, and torta subs and are open 24 hours a day. What more could you ask of donut shop?"

"Mochido is actually the newest name on this list, having only opened earlier this spring!. They’ve already made some waves thanks to their super interesting ‘mochi donut’, which is like a bunch of little interconnected balls. We have to admit, these folks might get the nod for ‘coolest looking’ on our list of best donuts in Vancouver."

"A relatively new name in the city, Mello has opted for a pretty specific type of donut- brioche, and essentially all the filled versions. What that means for us is an array of some delicious flavours, ranging from London Fog to Black Sesame and classic Strawberry. Pro tip- you get a pretty serious discount buying a half-dozen, so maybe take these to your next small dinner party as dessert."

"These Gardens are unique as they are a peaceful oasis within a busy shopping mall, but also draw avid gardeners to learn about plants suitable for their North Shore gardens. There is something of interest for everyone at any time of the year. Learn more about the gardens."

"This sculpture is one of the many attractions along the Stanley Park Sea Wall. This particular statue reminds of the the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, and from far away she does look like a mermaid!. The Girl in a wet suit statue is located just off shore of the wall and sits just in front of Vancouver Harbour and the North Shore mountains."

"Cresting the hill in Queen Elizabeth Park, this balmy, triodetic-domed conservatory is an ideal rainy-day warm-up spot, as well as Vancouver's best-value attraction. For little more than the price of a latte, you'll find tropical trees and plants bristling with hundreds of free-flying, bright-plumaged birds. Look for the resident parrots but also keep your eyes peeled for rainbow-hued Gouldian finches, shimmering African superb starlings and maybe even a sparkling Lady Amherst pheasant, snaking through the undergrowth. The attendants might even let you feed the smaller birds from a bowl."

"Perched atop the city’s highest point are the lovely lush gardens and aviary of the Bloedel Conservatory. Located within Queen Elizabeth Park, its huge historic dome is a treat to explore with beautiful exotic plants, trees, and birds. Looking out over the city and its surroundings, the colossal conservatory was founded in 1969 and now contains three separate climatic zones and habitats."

"One of the best parks in Vancouver for dogs and kids is John Hendry Park, locally referred to as Trout Lake, in East Van, just south of Commercial Drive and within walking distance of the Commercial SkyTrain Station. Situated around Trout Lake, the park includes trails for walking/biking/pushing strollers around the lake, an off-leash dog park on the north side, and a sandy beach and playground on the south side. Plus it has lovely views of the northern mountains."

"If you ask for directions to John Hendry Park, you’ll get blank stares—it’s known to locals as "Trout Lake Park" after the body of water that's its centerpiece and focal point of this 67-acre former peat bog. The lake has a lovely freshwater beach; swimming is allowed, and from May to September there are lifeguards on duty. In winter, if the lake freezes solid enough to skate on—this has happened once in the past 20 years—it doubles as an outdoor rink."

"Home to a robust farmers’ market on Saturdays, a small lake for swimming on one end and canine shenanigans on the other, tennis courts, a still-closed indoor ice rink and activity center, it’s got a healthy tie-dye/kilt/pierced body parts quotient and the air is often freshly scented with BC bud. People-watch and get ideas for your next—or first—tattoo, even if it’s a temporary decal."
