COPS

As a millennial, I’m becoming increasingly concerned about businesses opening that offer no substance beyond swanky, minimalist aesthetics and a good Instagram angle. This place is a prime example. The donuts were genuinely bad. Mushy, oily, and completely lacking any crunch or structural integrity. The texture was gross — like soggy bread soaked in water and loosely shaped into a donut, or a sponge cake that had been dunked and forgotten. There was no contrast, no bite, no balance. Just limp, greasy dough. The flavours were equally disappointing. Nothing tasted intentional or well-developed. No depth, no payoff — just vague sweetness without character. At some point, whether these places are funded by bank loans or private investors, someone needs to say enough. Concept-first, quality-last food businesses need to stop cropping up. I won’t be returning. If you want an actually enjoyable donut, you’re better off going to Tim Hortons or grabbing donuts from the Donut Factory next to Slow Hand Pizza. At least those places understand that texture and flavour matter more than vibes. Would not recommend.

Love that they are served hot and fresh! So light, fluffy and not too heavy. Absolutely worth the hype.

I just left this location on January 16, 2026 at 7:38 p.m. I was there picking up a sweet treat for a get together. I must say it was some of the best customer service I've received in awhile. The staff was kind, friendly and helped me figure out what were the usual favourites to ensure my treat would wow my friends. Thank you so much for the help, I will be back soon.

COPS Donuts, how good!!! Heard good things, didn’t believe the hype… I was v, v wrong. These donuts slap so hard. Stop whatever you’re doing and go get a box of 18! Don’t get 12, don’t get 6.. GET 18!

Felt the donuts were very nice, especially fresh and warm. I did feel I couldn’t taste a lot of differences between the flavours however.

These are delicious, melt in your mouth, amazing doughnuts. I am not a huge doughnut fan but these were reallllly good. They have two standard flavours - sour cream and cinnamon sugar, which are both perfect. They also have a third, rotating, flavour of the week. Highly recommend you try both of the standard flavours!!!!

Great spot in the Riverside neighborhood I had a half dozen the OG Glazed. Came to $6.25 + tax. They were like warm fluffy sweet pancakes. So sweet and yummy. Maybe a bit too sweet, but I enjoyed them.

I am a COPs day 1 fan. Ordered a 36 pc yesterday, donuts were made with old oil (can taste it). The icing was way less than normal. Felt like I was eating old oil in the end. $37 after tax for 36 mini donuts - I expect better.

Magic. Out of this world... Simply heavenly doughnuts. If you can go there and have them right away after they are freshly made... They are even better. Right out of the fryer, there's a thin crispy outer layer, then a cakier doughy zone, before you're finally in a soft custardy centre. All that texture coated in ample sweetness not to disappoint the child in you. My eyes rolled into the back of my head. I'm not kidding...

Something keeps me coming back to cops. Is it the delicious and soft dough ? Is it the new and amazing flavours ? Is it how nice the staff is? I don't know, but I'll keep coming back for more. I'm obsessed.

These donuts are super yummy and dangerous, they are so small you can't help but eat so many of them. They are also the perfect thing to bring to a party, potluck or big gathering. They come in 2 regular flavours OG Glaze and Cinnamon and also 1 special flavour that rotates every week, that is made fresh to order.

I will never not be obsessed with cops and as of recently wait times have decreased which makes ordering that much more convenient as I'm not a fan of their site. Service was great and the donuts tasted fresh and delicious as usual.

Soft fluffy pillow dreams. This is what donuts should taste like. U got it all here at cops. It's my fav indulgence any time of day. I like the special collab flavors they have. I'm a purist so just simple keeps me happy and they offer the basic cinnamon sugar or glazed. The glazed selection rotates so it's pretty unique.

Love these doughnuts! Made fresh to order, unique flavour each month, do wish they had more flavours to choose from on a regular basis, but they still taste fantastic. They aren't too sweet and the doughnuts are so so soft. Great to share with others.

Can't go wrong with these mini hot fresh out of the oven donuts. I'm loving the glaze of the month, rose hibiscus. The store looks really cool too. Waited at least 20 minutes when I ordered in store so I'd advise to order in advance if you can.

Same great doughnuts, relocated in a more 'visible' part of Riverside. Doughnuts come in three flavours: cinnamon sugar, OG sour cream, and a weekly feature. And I've yet to have a flavour I don't like!

Two stars for the great food, and no stars for the staff and rudeness. The donuts are absolutely fantastic, but the service itself must improve. At first I thought it was just a one off but I've gone to this location several times and I found a staff to be abrupt and rude. All I had was a question of how come they can only make half the donut plane and the other half not plane. What I want. It was just 10 plain donuts and the other 40 with cinnamon. The person that was assisting in the back she snarled at me, "It's a rule!" I replied "Oh, I understand it's a rule, but what's the reason for the rule?" She rudely snarled, "It's just a rule!" so in order not to get into confrontation I took my donuts and left. This is the last time I'm going to this location!
