Best doughnuts I have ever had.
Delicious and sumptuous doughnuts with a variety of rotating options
Friends and I were walking by and decided to pop in after hearing so much about the doughnuts. We arrived just before closing at 8pm but the staff welcomed us in. We bought 4 delicious doughnuts and split between the five of us. All we super decadent and yummy! My regret is not trying the Kitty Cream... next time!
Delicious! Has become my Sunday routine!!
So delicious that the doughnut didn't make it to the picture...
Great flavors !!! Thank you
Just had 3 Doughnuts and they were very good and large size. actually worth the price. i will be a return customer from now on, they did an amazing job on the store front as well, definitely worth stopping in if your downtown.
One of my favorite doughnut shops in all of Canada, I respect the owner, her vision and i trust everyone i ever met there to care about what they do , the dough is soft n fluffy, the cake donnies are amazing and the whole vibe is so much sweeter than a doughnut ever was or could be. BEST doughnut shop in Halifax ; no contest :)
Pretty awesome doughnuts! ????
Ordered some Halloween doughnuts for the office, and they knocked it out of the park! So easy to deal with, staff were professional and helpful. Can't wait for a round of Christmas doughnuts!
Delicious donuts with a sustainable backstory! They are affiliated with a candy store which allows them to use the any small batches of leftover candy to come up with the donut flavors for the day, avoiding the extra food waste.
Amazing simply amazing! Finally got a chance to try today as we walked by and went “Oh ya....we need to try this!”! We will be back! Long live the Tim Hortons killer!
One dougnot can feed 4. Bring your family in.
Awesome donuts at a great price. Wish they wouldn't sell out of the best flavours of the day so quickly though!
Not my favourite donut but I do really like the spot and the staff are nice!
Great doughnuts!! They've got plenty of different flavors and what I love about them is they're not greasy. Though they are fried, this is more a cakey doughnut.
Donuts are not greasy like the competitors. I absolutely love them. Will be back again!
If u like donuts thies are way better than Tim Hortons
Donuts look good but don't taste as good as they look. I've had many donuts in my life but these ones rank near the bottom, unfortunately. The dough is a little too loose and feels like it's missing something. It's like it's somewhere in between a yeast and a cake donut. Also the donuts I had couldve had about 30 percent more flavour. Nice looking shop, but for me, the donuts aren't up to par.
Super fun, super delicious. I like to take my friends kids here for fancy snacks that won't bankrupt me. There's some seriously fun 80's-90's snack nostalgia provided by fortune, and their decor is rad. Wicked place for kids, or grown humans alike.
Easily as good as vandal donuts! They have a lot of interesting flavours and a unique atmosphere.
A fun place to go if In the area! Lots of variety in specialty doughnuts. Half the fun was being in the store and picking out the doughnuts. Great atmosphere, great taste.
Fantastic selection of creative doughnuts.
Delivery and donuts a match made in heaven, I recently had a week visit and ended up coming back twice.. for science, and the toppings icings and variety blow me away they have a lot of options and a lot of flavours which makes ordering a dozen a hard task. The inside of the store is also fun and colourful 10/10
Just as good as valdel donuts
Great flavour, great taste and imagination
Really awesome place to swing by and grab a doughnut. I was super impressed with the wide selection of different doughnuts and once I came to the hard task of picking the one I wanted I was thrilled with how great it was!
Yum!! What more can I say!! ????
Soft, fresh and I prefer it over Vandals
Yummy doughnuts!! We make special trips to the city just for Fortune Doughnuts. HUGE and delicious; so fresh, soft and fun flavours!
Just AWESOME
Finally tried Fortune Doughnuts and it was delicious! Also, loved the place with very unusual cool design.
The cities best doughnut. Not too sweet. Not too oily. Excellent balance of fragrances and texture. And the decor of the shop is hella fun. All hail fortune!
Huge variety of donut flavours and solid coffee. Donuts are more cake-like than the typical style and very sweet. Interior of the store is pretty cool and service is very friendly.
Unless you go early the donuts with popcorn, cereal or chips taste stale.
Best doughnuts in the city. The Marge is the best doughnuts I've ever eaten.
Very high quality, amazing flavours worth every penny.
What a lovely little shop. The decor was great, but let's talk about the donuts! I tried a classic sprinkle. The donut batter was really lovely. It was light, fluffy, and delightful. The downfall was that the icing was so sweet! So sweet. The pumpkin spice donut had a much better balanced of sweet and spice, but still lacked a bit on the pumpkin spice end. Overall I'll definitely come back!
Good doughnuts.
Just the best donuts!
Amazing donuts!!! By far the best in Halifax; they're large, fresh, creative and tasty. The decor also rocks, and the staff were super helpful and welcoming.
I have eaten hundreds . . . maybe even a thousand doughnuts by now and this is the best doughnut shop in Atlantic Canada. The owners are super friendly and actually more wholesome and comforting than a blanket out of the dryer <3
Wonderful donut shop... Friendly staff, awesome atmosphere, and great for people watching on Gottingen. The donuts are far better than the franchise competition.
Really good doughnuts! ???? Didn’t have patience to take photos ????
They make the best vegan donuts. We go every trip to Halifax!
I love this spot. For a while there was only one donut shop in Halifax. Now for the past few months there have been 2 and I feel like this is the best donut shop in Halifax. Move over Vandals there is a new and better donut shop in town.
Always accommodating when it comes to custom orders
If you’re an indecisive person this isn’t a good place to cope with that. I have gone in there with a plan of which and how many donuts I want and always come out with more than what I anticipated and I’m not mad about it! what’s convenient is they poste their daily available selections on their social medias. The service has always been fantastic and to add ive often gotten a complementary donut which I will never complain about. As much as I adore their creative and seasonal flavours, my go to has always been the old fashion, cinnamon twists. I highly recommend this as a stop on anyones donut craving list and if you haven’t tried it yet run.. don’t walk. *available on skip the dish* Thanks for the great ????
I keep eating one of their donoughts every couple months even though they are always bad... flashy display and friendly staff makes it feel like something special and fun is happening (like the midway coming to town).
Service was sweet and efficient. The Boston cream was delicious.
The only donut shop I frequent, always fresh and delicious. Friendly staff and unique flavors
Best doughnuts in the city!
The staff was very helpful and the selection of donuts was great. I highly recommend this place to all my friends.
Deliciously Yummy ????????????????
Favourite donut shop in Halifax. The dough is perfect.
The vegan donuts are amazing and for their size VERY fairly priced.
Visited this place after Pride and was blown away by the selection and the uniqueness. I had the Trans Puff (Boston Cream inside). It was awesome. I ordered the Pride explosion for my partner and it was basically a sweet sandwich of awesome. Definitely worth a visit if you haven’t already been there.
Great selection of delicious donuts and good coffee!
I went there on the weekend to check out the place. The inside of the shop looked amazingly decorated with lots of colors and props. There were a variety of donut choices at a price that appeared slightly more than your typical donut shop like Timmies for example. I tried the 'sugar baby' and yeah it was very tasty. They have in-shop areas for customers to eat in as well as a few tables set up outside facing Gottingen street. Overall, it looked very good.
Yummy
Omg like as soon as I got the doughnut I posted a picture to my Instagram @kaciesmilez. Any place that serves anything oreo jumps up to the top of the hypothetical list lol. Really cool atmosphere.
Nice variety; friendly service; not much seating
Delicious!! Friendly staff! The moon mist doughnut was magical!
This is a must donut stop for anyone in the city. Simply the best variety donuts ever enjoyed supported by a great staff whom were patient as we decided choices and eclectic store layout. Situated on a street with vibe as well.
Super cute place! Donuts are a good size and have really interesting flavours!
Tasted fine, bit not worth it in my opinion.
K
Absolutely amazing ! Crazy flavors and totally eye appeasing a def for any baby shower , office meeting, new age wedding ( who needs cake?!) Just a great addition to the Hali foodie scene
I give 10 to Donuts quality. Fondant does not feel too much sweet. I loved it.
The doughnuts here are a better price and quality in my opinion when compared to Vandals. The doughnuts are always consistent in their quality and taste. Inquiries into information on special orders have been met with great customer service!
Someone brought these in to work. They looked and tasted amazing! I will definitely be making my own visit!
Incredible! Amazing service and scrumptious doughnuts!
The experience was absolutely magical. You walk into a colorful Willy Wonka-like shop with photos, and a massive display of the delicious donuts of the day. My first trip I got the "She's Salty" and "Reese's Pieces Dip" and now have a craving to go back tomorrow and buy a douzen. Definitely worth the trip!!
Probably the best donut shop in Halifax.
Typical doughnut shop. Good doughnuts but very very expensive, dig deep for these heartbreakers
OMG these donuts are so good. I actually can't eat a whole one because it's so rich and sweet.
Delicious and fresh
All I have to say is that I'm happy I don't live close to this doughnut shop because I'd probably be 100lbs heavier. Some of the best doughnuts and variety I've seen yet.
Great variety. Halifax surprises me everyday. The donuts here taste better than some of the donuts I have had in Toronto.
The store is nicely layed out, staff are friendly! Some donuts were good, some not so good! Seems they aren’t made fresh daily, as cookies and cereal bites toppings are very very stale! But the peanut butter one with the Reese bits were very tasty with a smack in the face of peanut butter flavour !
These donuts are BANANAS!
i got a half dozen vegan donuts and i only really enjoyed one. the flavours are poorly marked and indistinguishable from others. not bad for the price but i would go to vandal doughnuts next time.
Great experience. Very friendly.
The only donut shop I frequent, always fresh and delicious. Friendly staff and unique flavors
DONUTS !!!
These donuts were SO GOOD!!! They had so many options and the people working there were really nice. If you want to know what flavours they have before you go check out their Instagram! I’ll definitely be coming back soon!!!
The donuts are big and fluffy and do not taste overly greasy. The variety of flavors are spectacular to say the least. Without a doubt the best donuts on the peninsula.
Best doughnuts in nova scotia...if you haven't eaten one..what are you waiting for...always fresh and hot
Nice fresh and big donuts
This place was insta worthy! Those doughnuts were delicious! And the atmosphere was so cool!
5 stars for the doughnut. Coffee needs improving.
We decided on a whim to stop in. Our first time going in. With all the self isolation going on, we thought what the hell. My god! We are 2 down with 4 to go and so far they have been amazing. They are light, fluffy and NOT greasy which is what my wife and I like. The toppings are delicious and very creative. Needless to say we'll be back!! Keep up the great work!
Such a funky vibe. The staff are great and welcoming, the donuts fresh and fun and the coffee is really good too.
Delicious donuts with a sustainable backstory! They are affiliated with a candy store which allows them to use the any small batches of leftover candy to come up with the donut flavors for the day, avoiding the extra food waste.
This place is extremely cute! Their donuts are at a fair price and really good!
Nothing to dislike about this place at all! Great donuts and great staff! :)
Awesome product and presentation!
go nuts for doughnuts
Friendly and tasty
THE BEST DONUTS IN HALIFAX! Love the shop and the staff were awesome! Cant wait to come back!!
Out of this world selection of freshly baked donuts. The only problem is choosing which ones to try!
Awesome flavors, lots of vegans options. Quality of the doughnut itself is phenomenal.
Delicious donoughts! I've only been once, but I'll be back for more. I've tried other places in the area, only to be disappointed with soggy greasy doughnuts. Fortune is where it's at.
Amazing.
This is a highly subjective review, but I prefer whatever mix they're using for their donuts then the "other place" in town. Give it a try I doubt you will be disappointed.
Pop rock donut was unreal!
All the doughnuts and none are greasy like some other place... well worth the drive from Dartmouth.
Excellent selection of fresh donuts to be had, a must try
(Translated) Ah ma zing! (Original) Ah ma zing!
Fabulous selection of excellent vegan doughnuts that were perfect for our road trip. Great and friendly service, easy parking in road and even cool merch (I liked the doughnuts so much, I bought the tee-shirt!) Highly recommended.
Always fresh, and a great variety for everyone. Donuts are huge...and great for sharing!
I visited fortune donuts for the first time about 2 weeks ago. It is very friendly inside and enjoyable to visit. You get large donuts that I find is a little steep in price little over 4 dollers for a donut but they are delicious none the less and have a large selection of of new donuts that anyone would like.
Very good apple fritter. Friendly service. Coffee, ordinary.
Ok, so listen. I grew up with the holy grail of doughnuts in Ontario. In my heart, I never thought they could be beat. But OH. MY. WORD. If you have not had a doughnut from here - Go. Now. Actually. When my mom and Grandma were visiting, we got a few to try; a Dunkaroo one (holy nostalgia Batman), a tiramisu one, and a maple walnut one. Even my Grandma said it was the best doughnut she has ever had, and she is SUPER picky about anything sweet. They are soft, and light and the brains behind the flavours of these magical morsels are literal geniuses that I both love and hate dearly. A trip to Halifax is simply not complete without a stop at Fortune.
Good donuts. Not insanely sweet, good texture. Plenty of variety.
What a lovely spot! The kids were happy, so much color and vibe. Woth vegan options to boot! Loved it!
Yummy
Yummy
Not as good as the competition. Doughnuts here are more bready than they should be.
Delightful doughnut shop. The price is right and the staff are lovely.
What a charming shop they have! Doughnuts were as good. Not my favourite (sorry) but still very enjoyable! Wish they were just a bit more flavourful. Overall would still recommend. We ate the whole box! Haha.
Very very high quality and creative doughnuts, my new favourite!
Great donuts
Fortune Doughnut is my go-to spot for a doughnut and coffee in Halifax. Their large variety of doughnuts ensures there is something for everyone! When dine in is available its a great atmosphere. The staff are always very friendly and super helpful! I would recommend Fortune to anyone looking for a good quality doughnut in Halifax!
Staff is always really friendly and the doughnuts are *chefs kiss*
An excellent donutery.
Love the doughnut. Just really sweet.
If I lived closer to Halifax, I would be 800lbs from wanting to eat here EVERY.SINGLE.DAY! Between two of us we had 6-donuts. They were all fantastic. We were tempted to go again before heading back home to Moncton, but decided to savour the memory and keep this on our list for next time we're in Halifax. Awesome store, amazing donuts, kind service. Thanks so much!
Great less greasy option to Vandals however they have an almost metallic aftertaste that turned me right off of them. Love the less grease though.
Amazing snacks. I wouldn't go there if you're extremely diabetic, but what amazing stuff.
Great variety. Halifax surprises me everyday. The donuts here taste better than some of the donuts I have had in Toronto.
Ask for the she's salty!
Fortune Doughnuts is AMAZING! This place has upped the Halifax doughnut game for sure. The shop is colorful and run, the staff friendly and the doughtnuts delicious and creative. They have vegan options and I have heard that they make their dough from scratch, whereas the competitor supposedly uses a packaged mix. I will certainly go back next time I am visiting Halifax.
Had the pleasure of finally trying Fortune Donuts and it did not disappoint. Always tough to open up against the hottest thing in town and I have to say they’re going to give the competitor a run for their money. These donuts were delish. Not greasy and the icing and glaze were still fresh tasting. Felt like they were a bit bigger than most donuts too. All around loved them! Highly recommend.
This place is where the magic happens. Delicious donuts and the vegan options are out of this world. I wish I lived closer, but then again glad I don't because I would eat too many!!
The doughnut is good. But parking is terrible. ????
Amazing!!!!!
Bring a box to any event, everyone will love you!!
best donuts EVER. our new favorite place!!!
Location is good, however, it is not easy to find parking. The store provides a unique products. Is not only the doughnuts. It about the variety and the taste. The doughnuts ???????????? are delicious and large. Cleanliness is plausible. Girls working there are nice and welcoming. Prices, are $$. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try it. My conclusion, I liked it and I see you will love it.
Wow, if visiting Halifax and love a great custom donut, stop here, we actually went 2 days in a row.
Delicious doughnuts, and not too greasy.
not much variety. was expecting more
Had pleasure trying maple and chocolate absolutely best donuts ive ever eaten
Always a pleasure coming here. The doughnuts are amazing and the staff and owners are so friendly. By far the best option in Halifax. We will be back often!
Amazing variety and very flavorful
Adventurous flavors and great service. They've got something for everyone.
Really good donuts but the prices are a bit high.
The doughnut shop is clean and the staff friendly and most important the doughnuts are really good
I was gonna try Vandals but I saw them on the way so I tried their donuts and coffee. I only tried strawberry fortune and matcha which I love. Customer service was nice and prompt. It would be nice if they sell slushy since summer is coming.
I love this place. The are always so pleasant and the doughnuts are to die for!
Doughnuts are absolutely delicious. Once you have these you'll never go back to Tim's. We got them delivered by skip when it was just too hot to be outside. These doughnuts were perfect for our movie day in front of the fan. Next time we will ask for the "step-up" box with fritters and filled doughnuts. But this classic box was exactly what we were looking for.
Great selection
A must-visit in Halifax. Make sure you go early in the day to get your choice of donut. So many amazing, delicious kinds to choose from. Would go back to Halifax for another one of these donuts!
Great donuts, no complaints there, but make sure to call for any custom orders. I was so excited to get a customized MTL Canadiens cake for my husband's birthday that I thought was confirmed. Turns out they didn't get my last e-mail so instead of reaching out to confirm my order (that I thought I was picking up today) they just didn't make it. Super disappointed.
Sooooo good! Friendly staff. Walked right in and out with my order. No wait today.
so tasty!! great mothers day treats!!! she will love it!!!
Awesome doughnuts ????
Twice now I have had the Apple Fritter with a tiny piece of apple in it. A little bit disappointing. However, I have tried the other donuts and they are very good. Hopefully they will fix the Apple Fritter. The first Apple Fritter I had was loaded with apple and the best I have ever had.
lots of variety and great staff
Yummy no donuts yet but soon
✅ Good service and beautiful space in a convenient location ✅ Very cute looking donuts ✅ Do come early as they do sell out on a lot of flavors ???? Donut flavors are ok but their consistency and texture are not my cup of tea. Not light nor fluffy.
I've been here twice now and I'm a bit split on what to think. The doughnuts aren't nearly as greasy as other competitors, which is a definite upside. I like the ideas of the doughnuts, I just wish they delivered a bit more for the price. The carrot cake oreo doughnut, for example, I expected maybe a carrot cake doughnut with the toppings to go with it, but it was just a plain doughnut with the carrot cake toppings. If I'm spending $15-$20 for 6 doughnuts, I expect to be "wowed" a bit more.
Great place, great doughnuts, fantastic service, fun and trendy space! You need to go and try them!! But go early because doughnuts this good don't last until closing.
Great donuts!
Awesome donuts. Great staff.
Really good
Best donuts I've ever had. Love the shop and the people were awesome!
My favorite place to get donuts in Halifax! They're so good and quite filling
Vegan Boston cream . Thank me later .
The BEST doughnuts! I live in Toronto and have watched as friends frequent Fortune and post pictures, super jealous. So when I visited last weekend I KNEW I had to go, and I was not disappointed. Not only are the doughnuts the highest quality, so are the staff. They answered all my questions and patiently stuck with me while I picked out a dozen of the best doughnuts! I would highly recommend checking out this very special shop.
This place is amazing. Lots of variety to chose from and the menu changes daily. The donuts are huge and really full of flavor. A bit more expensive than other shops in the area but werl worth it as they are alot bigger and are fresher. The decorating of each donut is done to get you to buy a few different flavors. Will go back soon. W
We love going in for a treat! The young man who works there Fridays is super sweet and polite, it's very clean, on top of looking really cool! ????????????
My husband and I tried these doughnuts during a customer appreciation event at our local pet store, of all places! Let me tell you We felt VERY appreciated- amazing! Kudos to the pet store for going the extra mile as most times you could not pay me to eat a doughnut- although trying these doughnuts has cost me the internet- I had to disconnect it so I can NEVER google map this place! Haha
Wow! Walked by and had to check this place out! Very glad I did!
I stumbled upon this place while driving in the area. We decided to give it a try and boy was I glad we did. It was a unique experience and definitely unique doughnuts. Will definitely go back again. Oh ya the coffee was great as well.
I visited yesterday and you are definitely my new favourite place for goodies in Halifax. Having moved, within the past year and a half, from Alberta to Vancouver Island to Nova Scotia, I've eaten probably way too many delicious doughnuts, but Fortune is pretty close to the top of the list. It's a good thing I live in Truro. Otherwise, I'd be visiting a little too often. Delicious doughnuts ... wonderful service!
Doughnuts and coffee were really good! They have a nice display and 2 cash registers so things move quickly. Friendly staff.
They're good nice service bigger then Tim's not sure if I'll go back just because of the price. The flavor was good some are a little over sweet. But overall good job baking isnt a easy job
So much better than Vandals, kinder and not snobs!
(Translated) Donuts can be called fortune donuts. It's a bit lighter than a half moon, but it's more foamy and tastier. How pretty the decorations are. Fortune donuts have a sensation these days and a half moon feels classic. Fortune is better because it is a table where you can sit and eat. (Original) 단언코 도넛은 포춘도넛이라할수잇다. 반달보다는 좀 더 가벼운식감인데 포슬포슬해서 더 맛잇다. 장식들이 얼마나 이쁜지 ㅜㅜ 디자인센스로 따지자면 포춘도넛이 요즘감성이잇고 반달이 클래식한느낌이잇다. 포춘은 앉아서 먹을수잇는 테이블이잇어서 더 좋다.
Fresh doughnuts that aren't soaked in grease.
It is hard to find good doughnuts now but not if you know where to look. Not once have I had a bad doughnut from fortune. Always light, fluffy and full of flavor, you can tell that they put effort into making each one great. Walking into the shop has to make you smile, the wall decorating is fantastic and fits the name perfectly. Good people, good doughnuts, need I say more?
Mmmm.. doughnuts! Delicious, fresh and tasty.
Went in on a whim, got the Spice Cake. Best donut i've ever had hands down. Perfectly balanced flavours and just downright delicious. Definitely will be back!
Best doughnuts in HRM!
Awesome! Had the vegan Boston cream and it was off-the-scale delicious. Highly recommend!
Different flavors and quick service. It is a bit pricey for donuts but is a fun treat
This review comes after multiple greasy donuts (which I never felt the need t review online) and poor PR on their instagram.
Fantastic doughnuts, one of our customers brought the shop a box, the variety is awesome.
Amazing!
Pricey but unique
Fancy donuts but actually too much for us!
The staff was friendly and they have an incredible amount of unique options. Like most places downtown be prepared to have to look for parking but the donuts are well worth the effort.
Delicious donuts, fabulous variety, amazing atmosphere, and exceptionally friendly and cool staff! Always a pleasure to visit here.
Service was nice and donuts are to die for. So good
So funky and fresh
The doughnuts have a soft, fluffy yet filling dough. Defiantly worth the price. I like that the Skor doughnut was crushed Skor bar instead of just Skor bits.
