Reviews of Boca Grande Donut Shop (Bakery)

Hillary Murray

Some of the best donuts I’ve had!! (And I’ve had a lot of donuts in my day...) The flavour combinations they come up with are amazing... and the donut itself is wonderfully light and fresh. Not only are the donuts a must... but the cinnamon buns on Sunday’s are the gooey-est and yummiest I’ve ever tasted. Oh and did I mention they make amazing tacos too? Just make sure you get there early, so you don’t miss out on anything. Run, don’t walk there!

Great little Doughnut bakery ???? to try today on a cool snowy day! Great assortment of vegan and non vegan doughnuts with oodles of cute descriptions and creative topping displays. The doughnuts are huge and taste damn delicious! We are so glad we discovered them only by chance while driving through town. Great service! Great first impressions!

Absolutely delicious! 6 donuts for $25 - I tried hochata, pumpkin cheesecake, and praline (my fav) and all were excellent. All drinks including latte, mocha, etc were all $3.50! Yum! Will definitely be back and is a must stop when going to the bird sanctuary!

I mean some of the beat donuts around. I love that they have not only a ton of unreal flavours but they give you the options of a classic donut texture but also a cake donut. Honeys, Lee’s and Luckys have nothing on these guys.

BOCA is a must try!!! And again and again! These donuts are a whole meal and I haven’t tried a single one I haven’t loved! My faves are the salted caramel and cereal killa! If you don’t live in Ladner and considering travelling to get some start the car!! Come early before they sell out! They’re that good!

I've heard many great things about Boca Grande and was very much looking forward to giving these donuts a try! So on my best friend's birthday, we both ventured out to Boca to pickup a half dozen! Upon entering, I will say I was amazed by the look and presentation of these donuts ..but also noticed that $5/donut is probably the most expensive I've ever had locally. Ordered a half dozen of the fritters and a few others, to mix it up a little. Upon trying them, I noticed that most of all the donuts tasted a bit "old" and dry; to my surprise, they were not as flavorful as they present themself as either, lacking flavor. Not sure if I'll be back unfortunately. They're were decent, but not for the price and distance to get there. 49th Parallel/Lucky's Donuts blows this shop out of the water, in every single aspect - price, freshness, quality and balance of sweetness.

Amazing small-batch donut shop in a cute little town. So many creative and delicious donut flavours. They also sell taco kits and small gift shop items. This place is only open Friday to Sunday from 10-3 and often close early due to selling out. Get there early! There will be a line up but it is so worth the wait. Don't snooze on this; they're likely to sell out before noon.

Thanks to Boca Grande, my 4 yr old daugther finally had her first real doughnut! And it was delish! She has dairy allergy so no milk and eggs for her, so when we heard of this awesome little place that sells Vegan donuts. Heck ya! We were told to get there early as they sell out. I got there at 10:30am and there were 9 people ahead of me and the line was still building down the street. Lots of free 2 hour parking all around. It taste great for vegan dessert. Trust me, we tried them all. Most places just add too much sugar so its way too sweet. I think they actually eat what they sell here, so it tastes amazing. Not too sweet, not bland, just right. Like that ex-girlfriend that was a tad too crazy. Perfect for a weekend sweet tooth hit, but not good for the daily low-carb diet.

Boca Grande is really worth all the rave. The owners are super nice, the business is very clean, and the donuts are AMAZING. It’s extremely difficult to choose just one favourite.. but I’d say my top 3 are: pumpkin cheesecake, pride/rainbow and white chocolate raspberry. Normally I don’t ever like apple fritters, but theirs are fantastic! The apples inside are cooked perfectly and the glaze is so good. Anyways, I highly recommend you give them a try! They’re my favourite donut shop.

About a dozen Donut options to choose from- including two vegan and gluten free options. We enjoyed the classic vanilla and nanaimo bar. They also offer authentic taco meal kits!

Tamara Anne

Ladner has so many hidden gems and this is no exception. What are 2 things people go crazy for? Donuts and tacos. And you can get BOTH OF THEM right here. Their donuts are what they are known for. Definitely the creative flavours, but more importantly great quality. I mostly eat gluten free and it is nearly impossible to find a perfect fried GF donut. Somehow Boca has done it. They must have made a deal with the devil to get gluten-friendly donuts this delicious. They always have the Mexican vanilla along with one other GF donut. I'm fortunate that I can try the non GF and if I could eat their eggnog donut year round I would. I would swim in a vat of that filling!!! Even Santa would be jealous. I've been lucky enough to have tacos all over, including Mexico. Boca's taco kits are perfectly made and authentic. I would sell my family to buy these tacos. Taco bout delicious! You donut want to miss this place!

Yoon J

Good donuts but bit pricey.

Brittanie Darr-Desrosiers

We drive 40 minutes each way for these donuts! They are our absolute favourite! They have so many flavour options, even gluten free ones too! Highly, highly recommend!

I've bought donuts here several times and I must say they are delicious! My favourites are the filled donuts, especially the Horchata. I'll have to wait until I'm out of Covid quarantine to get some more.

Munchica

Very well decorated and tasty donuts. Fresh and unique flavours. Quite impressed. The Peach Ring donut was awesome with nice whip topping and a peach jelly filling made with what tasted like canned peaches. It worked well together. The chocolate glaze donut was just average though.

Sarah Jolley

All i can say is wow! I try to avoid gluten for the most part. Boca Grande has the most delicious gluten sensitive donuts.

Venkat - VIK Bala

Went with great hope, just ok. Bit overrated. For the price expected something unique, missed the wow factor nothing special. Just a regular Donut would say.

CKC Z06

Nice a bit different than you Tim Horton but you paying for it.

Caroline Hansen

These are the most delicious donuts. I drive from West Vancouver and believe me it’s worth it. Yummy

Leanne McLaren

My fave donut shop in the GVRD! Seriously! This is coming from the lady who would drive 6 hours down to Portland for their famous donuts. Boca's donuts are fresh and delicious, they have a ton of flavours to choose from and the staff are always so friendly!

JoAn Fae Fuentecilla

Love Boca Grande donuts! They are so light and there are so many creative flavours. My all time favourite is the Hedgehog crunch ( can never get enough chocolate hazelnut) and the macchiato ( Mother’s Day box). It’s a love/hate relationship (more love) that they have limited ones for special occasions because I love trying new ones, but it’s sad when I fall for the flavours and can’t get them anymore ????. Can’t wait for more limited flavours to come out (even though that means hedgehog crunch may be gone for a bit after). Definitely give this place a try if you like donuts! I’ve shared with coworkers and friends and they like them so much that they now come to Ladner to get them when they can. Don’t forget to try their Churros too, soooooo good ????.

Carolin Kertzig

Great donuts. From the 6 we got only 1 wasn't nice which was due to the cream on top ????‍♀️ but other than that very nice donuts and surely will come back even tho it's pretty pricy

Cassandra Russell

My fave donut shop in the lower mainland!! The only down side is they are far from me! Worth the trip to get them. Taco kits and chipotle mayo are bomb!!

courts2417

Amazing Donuts & the cinnamon buns are the best!

Angela

Omgoodness I can't evening right now! Finally got to visit this place & it was aaahhhmazing! The service was friendly & the doughnut selection was plentiful (which made it hard to decide). He even threw in a couple chai sugar mini doughnuts for us to try on the house, how sweet is that?! Those chai sugar doughnuts were light as air & so fresh, like little pillows of heaven! Can't wait too try the rest! We ended up ordering a dozen of the following: 2 Kings 2 S'mores 2 Netflix & Chill 1 Guava Goat 1 Horchata 1 Cereal Killa 1 Doughnuts Emoji 1 Oreo (GF) 1 Cherry Almond Jubilee Fritter (last weekend to get one) @inspiringfoodie

Aline De Rubens Larrondobuno MacMartin

The taste of the donuts is good, but they are expensive and the only donut that is extra big is the Cinnamon bun. The other donuts are regular size. The taco kit is delicious.

Steven Kavanagh

Good donuts, quaint neighborhood. Among "fancy" donut shops, these are the most expensive I've seen. Are they worth the extra money? Debatable. The horchata donut is quite good though.

Alphonse Mephesto

Highly recommended. Thank you so much.

K C

Delicious, fresh, great variety. Get there early or order ahead!

Amna Dalmir

So glad we got to try their donuts ???? The cinnamon bun is a must try! And the oreo donut is Amazing!! And the mousse one was also really good. The chocolate almond was ok.

Zac Loewen

Delicious. I’m absolutely taken aback of how good these donuts are. The size of them alone is something to be amazed about, but the taste was fantastic. The establishment follows COVID guidelines very well with arrows and spacers, as well as plexiglass and a limit of persons allowed in the shop at a time. The staff was bright and cheery and eager to help. They have a solid variety of vegan and GF donuts along side their original donuts. This is probably one of the best places for a Boston cream. I will definitely be coming back!

Ramon Klose

We went here to get some donuts on our way to westham island. The donuts did deliver. They were soft and the flavor choices were amazing. The best apple fritter I had ever tasted.

Devon Sandeen

Really awesome place! The donuts are fluffy and amazing. So many flavours and gluten free and vegan options. Well done !!

Michelle Herrington

This place by far has the best donuts in the lower mainland. I’ve tried all the other ones around but I always crave Boca Grande! Their awesome flavours mixed with quality ingredients made by wonderfully kind humans in an authentic shop is nothing short of perfection. Highly recommend! Now go and get some donuts from them!

M Nguyen

Friendly staff and delicious donuts! Many flavours were sold out by the time I got there, however I got to try Mexican vanilla and the strawberry delight! Both very good.

Flávia Francisco

Personal experience: They close at 3pm, so be there at 12pm because they will be sold out and you will be wishing donuts until the next business day. Yes, they’re that good ???? peaches and cream tastes like summer ????

Win Ch

The shop's location was easy to find, and there were lots of parking around the plaza! This was my friend's first time trying Boca's donuts, so we decided to select a half dozen donuts and share them. The donuts were very fluffy and were very flavourful. Out of all the donuts, my favourite was the apple fritter, as it had chunks of apple in it! My friend enjoyed the maple bacon as he liked the concept of sweet and savoury (not in the photo as we ate it, haha). There were benches and picnic tables around the plaza, so if you're not in a rush, I suggest you do what my friend and I did and eat at one of the benches while the donuts are fresh! I will be coming back again as I would like to try other flavours! (:

Kara Lingam

Best Vegan donuts we have ever had. Light & fluffy. None of the donuts are overly sweet which makes them all delicious. Sunday cinnamon buns are to die for!!

Kate Twarog

Such amazing donuts! They are delicious and have such super cool flavours! This is my favourite place to get donuts!!!

Randy Tobias

One of the best donuts in the Lower Mainland! The line up of donuts are always rotating with seasonal flavours or with new creations from the lab! Expect a line up due to the popularity but the line moves fast. Please bring back the brownie batter ????

Kristi Fredrickson

The most amazing treats! The creators put their heart and soul into crafting unique and delicious donuts (and more!), and it is evident in every bite ????

Nate

I am a sweet tooth, premium desert lover and these donuts are at the top of my list for treats. I know this is a Bold statement but they are better than the famous voodoo donuts in Portland We are willing to travel a hour each direction and wait 20 minutes in line for these. Few things to keep in mind, they are only open Friday to Sunday, there will be a line, and they sell out nearly everyday. Your best bet is to aim for around opening, and enjoy a conversation with the people in line. These are a premium option for donuts around 50 for a dozen, but we'll worth it to support a small family buisness offering donuts unmatchable anywhere locally.

Erynn Jean

Vegan PB choc was good. Apple fritter was large and tasty but only found 2 apple pieces. Horchata was SO good! Strawberry white chocolate was delish- bold real strawberry flavour. Salted caramel was actually salty, so thanks for that! And the bourbon Pecan pie was perfect- puff pastry was nice and crunchy, the whip wasn't too sweet and balanced out the sweeter filling. YUM!

Miranda

Best Apple Fritters Ever! I've been wanting to try this place for a while and happened to be in Ladner today. I picked up half a dozen donuts today and was not disappointed. The apple fritters are actually filled with apples :O , they are fluffy with a crisp exterior but not greasy nor overly sweet. I would also recommend picking up the Mexican vanilla donut. It's simple donut, with an absolutely divine vanilla glaze. I'll definitely be stopping by again for all my donut cravings!

Angelie Batra

So darn good! Can't wait to go back for more!

Michelle Edwards

Best donut shop around!

T'an Alex

Best donuts around hands down! Never had one I didn't love. The taco kits are amazing for a quick and delicious taco night for the fam. If you haven't tried them yet you reallly should.

Kelsey Olson

Amazing donuts! It’s our favourite weekend treat!

Tanya Ho

We have been visiting Boca Grande since they opened and have had many amazing donuts!!! We particularly love their innovative flavours, delicious fillings, and tasty icings. The donuts are always fresh and the owners are extremely friendly!

Stephanie Priebe

Wow! Their donuts are delicious. I have had it on my places to try for a long time. And they did not disappoint.

Christina Evans

My family was beyond thrilled to hear this donut shop sold vegan donuts when they came to town. They are the absolute best we have ever had. I also love that they are a large donuts!!! Haha!! The flavours they choose have never disappointed. The dough alone is just insane. Like we CRAVE these donuts!!!! So fresh and squishy! My family has been asking for a tower of vegan donuts instead of cakes or cupcakes even on their birthdays now too. We LOVE this shop! Everyone who works here is also so nice and just good vibes all around. Great addition to the community.

Will

Amazing selection of vegan donuts! One of the best donut places in Lower Mainland. It is a bummer they don’t have non-dairy milk - otherwise would take coffee as well.

Aaron Parhar

Tasty donuts, great tacos and spicy hot sauce. Amazing lil place.

Dee L

Definitely a hidden gem in Delta! I absolutely love their donuts and recommend going early to get your pick! They have tons and tons of unique flavors. Worth the long drive for these donuts :)

Amar Deol

The donuts are good, however for the price they should be out of this world. Tried almost every donut flavour and some inconsistencies in quality. I love the niche style marketing and location is smart.

Justin Taylor

Amazing donuts, and normally 3-4 vegan options too! Our labradoodle puppy Bella loves visiting the shop as well ???? ????. Wish we could you guys 10/5 stars!

Lorraine Lo

Delicious donuts. These are filling so have one on an empty stomach. Texture is denser and less sweet than Krispy Kreme (in a good way)! Sweetness comes from fillings, glazes, and/or toppings. Mango filled donuts are delicious!!

Sabrina Schoen

Love this place for the variety and the originality of donuts. The quality is fantastic and I often make the trip from Surrey to treat myself! Would recommend!

sylvie dennison

The best Donuts in the lower mainland. We are so blessed to have this unique, hand crafted, melt in your mouth donuts in our quaint village. I need to try out the Mexican food as it looks and smells amazing.

Brittaney Penman

Excellent little shop! Love going there on the weekend with my little guy! Yum!

Miika Makela

Caramel popcorn dognut! Simply amazing!

Gabrielle Niessen

I’m not a huge donut person but have to admit, Boca Grande‘s are delicious. I love the couple mini donut options they have. The reason I go so often, isn’t for the donuts, but for the BEST CINNAMON BUNS I have ever had - hands down! I haven’t tried the taco kits yet but I imagine they are equally amazing. Glad to have this business in Ladner.

Tristyn Kellner

The only doughnut shop that I will drive out of town regularly for. This would be a monthly visit if I didn't buy half a dozen minimum every time I visit. The doughnuts are always fresh and soft with amazing flavor. I ordered a taco kit last time I visited and loved all the elements, especially the meat itself and the salsa Verde. I appreciate the care and creativity that goes into making each new flavor and item on the menu and will be back ASAP.

Kaitlyn Kendall

I don't really love donuts, but a coworker turned me on to this place and I seriously cannot get enough! These donuts are absolutely delicious and so unique (my favorite was the Brainiac). I love that they rotate their flavors so even if you think you've tried them all, they are always coming out with something new! They always have a line outside when I go early in the morning because they are just that good.

MICHELLE WEIDEMA

The best donuts ever!! Nice, big and fresh!! Got to love all the various flavours!! I keep forgetting to take pics because I eat them too fast!! Oops!! PS. They also sell chipotle mayo which I keep on hand for all sorts of things…tacos, sandwich/wraps etc. Way better than mine!! Thanks for existing Boca Grande!

Stephanie B

I haven't tried their fancy donuts because I'm a plain Jane kinda girl but their classics are to die for. Worth every penny.

Rita

best tasting donuts well worth the drive they will ruin regular donuts for you ☺️

Sheila's Catering Co.

Always great experiences with Boca Grande. Their donuts are so good and the owners are very accommodating and friendly. A gem of Ladner Village. Great day trip for anyone in the Lower Mainland or Fraser Valley!

Julie Bouchey

Boca Grande...What a GEM in Ladner. If you love donuts you have to check this place out but come early because they sell out fast. They are all delicious but some of my favorites are Netflix N Chill, Maple Bacon, Salted Caramel...yes, that's a lot of favorites. They also have GF and Vegan options. The hardest part is choosing.

Paula Greenaway

I placed and paid for an order a week prior to my pick up date (placed Dec 14th for pick up Dec 22nd), but upon my arrival found the shop closed for the holidays. I was never notified of this, no e-mail, no phone call- nothing. I had purchased these for clients and was left in a difficult position, I ended up having to drive into Steveston to get them something better than cheap commercial donuts. I have been attempting to contact them about a refund for the $86 worth of donuts I ordered, and have not received any response. I have called and messaged them on instagram. This is really disappointing as I've ordered from them before and really enjoyed the experience, but now I don't plan on making the trip to buy from them again.
