As I love desserts, I was so excited to see Chinatown and visit this place for the first time. This place was located in an area that would be best to walk with a friend or a small group- I was not quite prepared to see and experience what was going on all around. Finally, we made it there and were glad to order some doughnuts. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by the sweet smell of doughnuts and the two friendly staff. Everything looked so good, so narrowing down our pick was very hard! At the end, we ordered two flavours- Matcha and Tiramisu. The matcha doughnut was soft and the filling was light yet full of matcha flavour that one would expect, I loved every bite! My friend had the tiramisu doughnut and she said that she enjoyed the fluffy texture of the dough and the creamy filling- it felt like eating tiramisu in a doughnut form. If you love simple yet high quality ingredients, this place is the perfect place to get your sweet cravings fixed!

It was warm and fluffy and the right amount of sweetness. Beware as other locations don't have their own kitchen so you won't get fresh donuts like the ones at Granville.

The wait was also fairly quick, it was less than 5 minutes for a Wednesday morning! The staff were friendly and I didn't feel too rushed.

Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!

Who can resist bacon? I also got the peanut butter jelly donut to go. The apple bacon fritter was more like a bread texture. I liked the chewy texture and the bacon was delicious. I barely tasted any apple in my fritter though. But the bacon and maple glaze more than made up for the tiny amount of apple bits in my fritter. The glaze did make it a sticky mess to eat. I had the peanut butter jelly the next day. It was definitely a bit harder than if you had it on the same day. I took a bite before storing in a Tupperware, so that I could tell the difference. The donut was square shaped and it was chockfull of berry jelly inside. Some sections were oozing jelly when you bit into it. Be careful not to smear your face. At $4.50 each, I think the price is fair during this time when everything is expensive. But it is not that cheap you can have it everyday. Location is shared with 49th Parallel Coffee.

I really like "Asian" style doughnuts as they are less sweet than their western counterparts. I had the matcha cream and could definitely taste the matcha.

I was in need of a pick me up while visiting the Gastown Steam Clock and figured I'd grab a donut from Lee's which is right across the street. There is an overwhelming amount of unique flavors and all of which I would have loved to try. I opted for the matcha and German chocolate donut and wow! I had no idea Canada was known for donuts but I can now understand why. The donuts are super light and airy which I prefer. The reason I don't care for donuts at least in the US is because they're always so dense but it was the complete opposite here. The donuts at Lee's also had a nice crispiness on the outside which added a nice texture. They are also not overly sweet and had great flavor! I especially love the location of this shop because you can do some souvenir shopping on this street and get your pictures of the steam clock. Had I known about this place earlier in my trip I would have loved to come back a second time but at least now I know for the next time that I visit Vancouver. Can't wait to come back for these donuts!

Personally, I prefer yeast donuts, because I prefer the airy-ness over denseness. As we were visiting the infamous steam clock and waiting for it to steam, we noticed a notice shop right at the corner, so decided to make a stop in to try their donuts. We tried their Bavarian Filled Yeast Donut, which was filled with vanilla custard. The donut part was chewy and doughy while the vanilla cream was creamy and not too sweet. Overall, a nice treat to have when in the area.

I showed up after work and OMG they were super busy. B and I found their donuts ok and if you wait till next day to have them they are edible but a lot denser and not as good like many things. They were not fluffy to begin with. Note that their good flavors sell out super fast.

I thought this sandwich would be too heavy, but the brioche bun is light and the scrambled eggs are really fluffy. The Avo Sandwich - a lighter sandwich featuring fried egg, avocado, cheddar cheese, sun dried tomato pesto, tarragon aioli and mixed greens. Also a good choice!
